Alien world, in the quiet study.
Ten gold ingots are neatly stacked in the exquisite wooden box, which radiates the intoxicating luster under the light.
Qin Feng's eyes are a little erratic. In his original world, it means at least hundreds of thousands of wealth. Even in an international metropolis like Binhai, it is equivalent to a house Down payment for.
Of course, he has to take it back smoothly and find a suitable channel to safely dispose of it. He can only consider buying a house or a car after getting cash.
“…… How about it? "
The hoarse and deep voice slowly sounded and pulled his thoughts back.
It was a man in his thirties in royal clothes. He looked handsome, but his face was pale and haggard, his eyebrows were locked, and his bloodshot eyes were full of hope. It's like a desperate drowning man looking at a straw.
Yes, in the eyes of governor Zhao Yuanjin, the young man with strange clothes and strange accent who appears in his study without warning is the only straw he can hope for.
Outside the walls of the county city, tens of thousands of rebel troops of the imperial court have besieged the city for many days. The city nearly ran out of food and grass, people floating, rumors around, the city may be broken only in the twinkling of an eye.
At that time, Zhao Yuanjin, the self appointed cangshui Jiedu envoy and leader of the rebel army, was killed by the whole family and implicated in nine clans. It was inevitable that he died without a place to be buried. There was no reason to be spared.
Offer the city to surrender? To save lives?
His bureaucrats and subordinates may be able to do so. Maybe when the chief of the imperial court is in a good mood, he can also write down a credit generously. However, if Zhao Yuanjin came by himself, there would be no difference in the result. At most, he would die happily and get a whole body.
No way. He's the leader of the rebel army. He's a traitor with a number on the temple. Everyone may not die, but he must!
Therefore, Zhao Yuanjin, who knew that there was no way out, chose to defend the city. With less than 10000 men under his command, he fought with the imperial army for many days, and now he is on the verge of exhaustion.
There is no reinforcements at home and no food and grass at home. The dilemma of no solution forced the governor to commit suicide several times, but there was always a strong resentment in his heart, which made him continue to bite his teeth and hold on, expecting that there would be a miracle.
Then, Qin Feng appeared.
At that time, Zhao Yuanjin was thinking hard about a good way to retreat from the enemy in his study. The young man who appeared quietly like a ghost frightened him and thought he had hallucinations for a time.
Qin Feng was actually the second time to travel through time and space. He was unprepared for the first time. He did not stay for long before returning to his original world without disturbing anyone here. The second time he came, he was in his study, sighing and frowning.
After a short period of fear, he found that they could barely understand each other's language. After a series of exchanges and answers, Qin Feng finally understood the situation of the world and what kind of crisis Zhao Yuanjin was facing.
Today, the Qi Dynasty has been plagued by natural disasters for many years. The imperial court and the officials and nobles have become extremely corrupt. Since the beginning of three years ago, there have been many wars and wars in the world, and there have been countless refugees and rebel armies. A new round of fighting for the throne and the destiny of heaven has come.
Zhao Yuanjin is one of the numerous floating people's army. He was born into a wealthy family and once passed the examination. He saw that the imperial court was going to run out of steam and the law was going to collapse, and the world was about to usher in a great change. Finally, unable to withstand the support of his confidants, he scattered his wealth to recruit troops and horses, and he also drew up a rebel team.
At first, with a little momentum, a little shrewdness, and some indispensable luck, Zhao Yuanjin even won several battles in a row. In more than a year, they successively won two prefectures, and then they became self appointed governors and officials. The number of those who responded to them gathered, and the team rapidly expanded to more than 30000 people, which was a bit of a dragon.
It is a pity that the good time is not long. Although the imperial court has been rotten, the hundred footed insects are still alive. With the return of several veteran generals who lost their power for many years, they regained military power and led the army to fight against the rebels and put out the fire. Many short-sighted and ill fated rebel forces have been wiped out one after another.
The territory occupied by Zhao Yuanjin belongs to the rich Jiangnan area, and the momentum is not small, so unfortunately, it was followed by the imperial army.
After several wars, the governor, who had just started his career not long ago, was mercilessly beaten back to his original form. All the way, he was trapped in the Jingnan county city and lost all his hard-earned territory.
After many days of siege, Zhao Yuanjin's men and horses were killed and wounded. Now, there are less than 5000 soldiers to fight, and there is little food left.
If there was no Qin Feng's appearance, there would be no suspense about his miserable ending.
"Fairy, what do you think of the gold?" Zhao Yuanjin asked uneasily.
"Good, you wait for me both No, it's an hour, and I'll be back. "
Qin Fenggang wanted to say that two hours later, it was similar to the parallel world of ancient China, and immediately changed its course.
"Well, I'll wait for the good news from the fairy." Zhao Yuanjin said earnestly.In his eyes, this missing young man should be the legendary immortal, right? Therefore, he tried to ask Qin Feng to give him advice and solve the current dilemma.
Of course, Qin Feng was not the kind of unparalleled national scholar who had the ability of heaven and earth. How could he think of it? Moreover, in the face of such a dead end, I am afraid that Guo Jia, Zhuge Kongming and Liu Bowen will not be able to recover.
I've never eaten pork. I've always seen pigs run. He has read countless novels about the struggle for supremacy of alien farming. Facing the current situation, he quickly identified the key point: food.
What is the most important condition for striving for hegemony in troubled times? Some people say it's talent, some say it's financial resources, some say it's territory, some say it's timing, and they all have quite sufficient arguments.
Of course, these statements are true, but in Qin Feng's view, the core condition is still food. The army and the horse did not move, but the grain and grass went ahead. If you don't have this thing, your million troops will collapse in an instant.
One of the key reasons for the successive changes of dynasties in history is that a large number of landless and hungry people have no means of livelihood. They have to rise up in order to get enough to eat, kill officials, rebel and eat big families in order to survive.
Therefore, Qin Feng naturally asked for gold for grain, saying that it was also a choice that could maximize his own interests.
The wooden box with gold ingot on the table has already been put into the dimensional space in the body. Soon the figure of Qin Feng disappeared.
Between dark and bright, the simple furnishings in the rental house reappear.
Qin Feng took out his mobile phone and looked at the time. It was nearly noon. There was a time difference of three or four hours between the two sides of the world. The speed of the passage of time seemed to be different.
He thought for a while, rummaged through the boxes, found an old electronic scale, and took out the gold ingot and weighed it. Ten gold ingots are of the same size. Each one weighs 12 Liang, about 385 grams.
According to Zhao Yuanjin, what he took out was a hundred taels of gold. Qin Feng did not doubt that he was cheating himself. It is normal that ancient weights and measures are different from the present ones.
The weight of China in the new century is 50 grams. However, in the Qin and Han Dynasties, there were only 16 grams or more. From the northern and Southern Dynasties to the Tang, song, and Ming and Qing Dynasties, the standard of weights and measures also changed many times. In the early Ming Dynasty, the standard of one or two was about 37.5 grams.
The parallel world traversed by Qin Feng is similar to that in ancient China. However, it is still unclear what period it was in, and we should gradually understand it later.
He didn't stop too much. He took out a black backpack and stuffed the gold box in. Wearing a coat, he went out in a hurry, went to the street outside the community, stopped a taxi, and drove to the city center.
Lu Fuyuan gold store.
The taxi stopped at the door, Qin Feng got out of the car, looked at the magnificent shop front, took out the sunglasses from his pocket, and walked inside.
Gold can be recovered from state-owned banks, well-known large-scale gold shops, private gold shops and many legal or illegal pawnbrokers. However, in order to avoid attracting the attention of interested people, the bank is not suitable to go, which must have formal invoice procedures; the price of pawnshop fluctuates greatly, and it is easy to be trapped without the introduction of acquaintances; therefore, only the gold shop is the most suitable choice.
Of course, it's not much more than 40 grams in the market, but it's not quite the same as the amount of 40 grams in the market.
Qin Feng walked into the main door and came to the counter on the inner side. He said a few words to the young waiter. The other party immediately called the manager and politely invited him into the reception room inside.
A moment later.
“…… Sir, after testing, the purity of your gold is not very high, only more than 90% The manager said to him.
"It's from my ancestors. It's normal that the purity is not high?" Qin Feng said with a smile.
Limited to smelting technology, the purity of ancient gold was generally not very high. Even for the gold in the imperial treasury, the standard of purity fluctuated between 77% and 93%. Gold with a purity of more than 93% is very rare, which is obviously not comparable with that of modern society.
The manager nodded and said, "in this case, I'll give you 280 yuan per gram to get rid of the impurities. I'll give you an integer of 960000 yuan. After all, it's very troublesome for us to take it for purification."
Now it is the first half of 2023. The market price of gold fluctuates around 360 yuan. The manager's offer is really black. However, Qin Feng is too lazy to worry about it and nods and agrees.
By the time he left the front door of the gold store, there were 960000 Chinese dollars in his bank card.
With money, the next thing is easy. Qin Feng went straight to the car rental market, rented a small sealed container truck, and then drove to the gate of a large supermarket. After graduation from high school, he had no problem driving his own car.
I bought 30 bags of rice and 30 bags of flour, all of which are 10kg in size, and they are the cheapest. I used the shopping cart to get them out several times and checked out at the cash register. The total cost was less than 4000 yuan. This is a sample for the governor.Then he moved the things into the car, drove the car around the suburbs and stopped at places where there were few people and no surveillance cameras. Open the back door of the container truck to go in, collect all 60 bags of grain into the dimensional space, and then come out as if nothing happened and drive back to your rental house.
"Transactions will be frequent in the future. Maybe you should consider renting a warehouse as soon as possible, and in a place that is not noticeable in the suburbs." He thought in silence.
Enter the bedroom, turn back, lock the door and close the curtains. After confirming that there was no problem, his figure disappeared from the room the next second.
