A double gift for shopping, a big giveaway of points. In Professor Luo's world, points are standard in shopping malls, and people have many more point cards in their wallets than bank cards. The Lin brothers' shopping trip in Da Yuan, of course, inevitably ends up using cards.

This process.

Later that day, in the small stilted building where the two brothers lived alone, Professor Luo came to visit the guests again with gifts. They were said to be gifts, but in fact they were just samples. They could only be looked at and not taken away. Professor Luo placed the samples on the table while

, while explaining the point system to the two of them, and left after explaining it.

It was already dark, and several items such as a kerosene lamp, a zippo lighter, and a glass mirror reflected each other on the table. The bright light reflected the surprised faces of the two Lin brothers.

These kinds of display items are currently not available in Chuanchuang. Kerosene lamps and lighters are short of oil, so there is no need to count on them in the short term. There are no material restrictions for glass products, and a glass kiln is currently being built in the kiln area. Lin's next visit is expected to be a big one.

The goods will be available.

Precisely because they couldn't be made, these good things became points exchange items in Professor Luo's mouth. If the Lin family brothers wanted to buy kerosene lamps, they could only redeem them after shipping more goods to Daguang and accumulating enough points.

As for when enough points can be accumulated, it depends on when the oil is dug out... The final interpretation of this point rule belongs to Professor Luo.

...

"This group of Kun people are really clever and have made so many wonderful things." After Professor Luo left, Security Lin couldn't put it down and played with the zippo. In the cabin, which was much brighter than usual, the crisp "ding" of a lighter could be heard from time to time.

Voice.

"It's probably not easy to do these things. Just look at the points." Lin Baoquan was lying on the table and said quietly while adjusting the brightness of the kerosene lamp in fascination.

"If you ask me, this iron shell should be gone and replaced with a gold and silver patterned shell...glazed lamp, gold and silver lamp, coupled with this non-smoking Kunren kerosene, be good, fifth brother,

Do you think the big households in Fuzhou City are willing to pay 500 taels for one?" Lin Baoan saw that Fifth Brother was concerned about kerosene lamps. At this moment, he took a quick look and casually came up with a mooncake route to capture the market through packaging.

Lin Baoquan did not answer. He sat up, crossed his legs, picked up the kerosene bottle and glass mirror on the table, and began to look at them carefully.

After a long time, Lin Baoan raised his head. At this moment, his eyes seemed much brighter, and he asked: "Not counting the money in the public account, how much cash do you have in your hometown?"

"Private bank?" Lin Baoan didn't react for a while. After thinking about it, he said: "This is probably not much, more than a thousand taels. I have to go back and ask my mother-in-law."

"Why is it so small?" Lin Baoquan frowned after hearing the number.

"They are all kept on the goods." Lin Baoan saw that the elder brother's face was not good, so he replied with a little hope: "My mother-in-law bought a brocade shop for the New Year, bought some Quanzhou brocade, and bought a boy...

.We don’t have much money to begin with, so don’t most of the money belong to the public?”

Lin Baoquan couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this: "I want to buy a boat when I go back this time. You can find a way to raise the money."

"Buying a boat? The bulk of the boat purchase should also come from the public account..." When Lin Baoan said this, he suddenly stopped talking. After looking at each other with his clan brother, Lin Baoan understood.

"How long are we going to keep those losers?" Lin Baoquan saw that his clan brother understood, so he no longer concealed his thoughts: "You and I will buy the new ship with the money, we don't want other people's shares, just let it go."

If we don't take action on such a good deal, when will we take action?"

At this time, Lin Baoan completely understood what the clan brother meant. After thinking about it, he looked embarrassed: "Fifth brother, since you have made up your mind, I have nothing to say, just because I am afraid that the money will not come together: Xing'an Pinghao was originally worth 2,000 silver.

If you buy it back and prepare another shipment, it will cost you ten thousand taels of silver, and we don’t have that much!"

"Two thousand silver is not enough!" Lin Baoquan stood up at this time and kept pacing back and forth in the room: "A new ship is the capital for you and my brothers to settle down and live. If you want to buy a big ship with eight hundred materials, the ship materials must be good, and the ship needs

I'm afraid three or four thousand silver will be enough."

Ignoring the clan brother who had his mouth wide open at the moment, Lin Baoquan became more and more excited as he spoke: "Sell, sell them all! The silk and satin shop is sold, the boy is sold to the hall, and the mother-in-law's headdress is pawned off! We won't be able to survive this trip back.

, I have to scrape together the shipping money and cargo money even if I lose my head!”

"Oh, what a pity. That boy is handsome. My father likes him very much." Lin Baoan saw that his fifth brother had made up his mind. Lin Baoan had always followed Lin Baoquan immediately. Without saying anything, he quickly changed his mind and started to think about it.

Why did you sell the boy from your father?

"Your father! Yes, the coffin that your damn father buried has to be dug out. Well, in this way, including my family's old capital... if friends in the world raise more money, it will be short.

Never leave."

Lin Baoan's expression was already a little dull: "Wouldn't it be cheaper to borrow some from the clan?"

"It's best to borrow less money from those losers." Lin Baoquan looked at his clan brother with a "you know" look.

After seeing his clan brother nodding, he said: "This bunch of Kun people are not yet stable, and it's time to spend a lot of money to buy horse bones. You and I only have one ship of iron materials this time, and we have many benefits of observing the sky and measuring positions."

, it can be seen that this place is in urgent need of shipping merchants."

Lin Baoquan walked to the table at this time, flicked the stamens protruding from the middle of the plate of wrought iron flowers on the table with his fingers, and then said proudly: "The ship we bought ourselves, you and I have the final say on what to load.

Even if the first few trips only transport iron materials, with the points method as a backstop, we won’t suffer any loss.”

After a pause, he continued: "The news about the opening of the port has not spread yet, so we came here by chance, so we took advantage of the news. When it comes to this point, in my opinion, no matter how high or low, everyone can do it.

Yes, crude goods like iron materials are advantageous. When the points are accumulated, we can redeem these gold and silver lamps and crystal mirrors first, and then we can get them to Fuzhou and Hangzhou and sell them, hehe, hehe."

When Lin Baoquan said this, he looked at each other and his clan brother, and a burst of signature badass laughter suddenly came from the hut.

...

Early the next morning, the Lin brothers, who were full of energy, came to the door and planned to discuss with Professor Luo to buy another set of measuring instruments. Since they were buying a new ship, they couldn't just have one set. The sea route was rough and the fleet was blown away by strong winds.

This is also common.

Doraemon still had a smile on his face. After hearing the brothers' idea of ​​buying a boat, he didn't seem too surprised. Moreover, as if he had been prepared for it, he took out the pearl from the magic pocket on the spot... In fact,

It's a credit loan, Huabei.

Professor Luo said: He supports Xian Kunzhong to start his own business, so he is willing to use low-interest loans to help the brothers overcome the initial financial difficulties.

Of course, shiny pearls are not that easy to get, and then someone starts to make conditions.

A topographic map of Funing Prefecture, which was most familiar to the Lin brothers, was shown by Professor Luo. The scale of this map was relatively fine, and some special locations had been thoughtfully marked with Huali and Traditional Chinese characters.

Professor Luo first pointed to a place marked "Yulin Silver Market" at the top of the map and asked the two of you if you knew where it was?

How could the Lin brothers not know about Yinchang?

Located in the Fuding Radon Spring Protection Area, later known as Dieshi Township, this land is rich in mineral resources, including a large amount of lead and zinc ores, as well as thirteen nonferrous metals including silver, copper, chromium, sulfur, and iron.

The Yulin Silver Mine was opened here in the Song Dynasty, and mining was controlled by the government. In the Ming Dynasty, silver mines were generally run by the government.

Now that the brothers knew the place, it was convenient. Professor Luo then took out a few photos, all of which were black and gray stones, and handed them to the brothers.

While the two brothers were studying the "drawing" over and over, Professor Luo told them: Send some people to look for this kind of stone near the silver mining area, and bring them to the boss after they find it. If it is really needed here, then a pound of stone will cost 5 cents.

Silver, guaranteed here.

Stones that cost as much as pig iron... The Lin brothers, who were originally full of questions, shut up at this moment and said no more nonsense.

Seeing that the two brothers knew each other, Professor Luo stopped talking. He just told them that the people sent to collect stone samples must remember the location clearly. In addition, they should also bring some of the waste rocks mined from Yinkeng Iron Works everywhere.

Samples come back.

The purpose of the crossing is chrome ore.

The output of chromium ore in Fuding is not large, and the taste is low, and most of it is associated ore, which is not cost-effective to mine according to the standards of future generations. Chuanzhong had no choice but to come up with this strategy. If you can get a little, let's forget it.

Are high-grade chrome ores in South Asia now out of reach?

After talking about chrome ore, next is another stone: pyrophyllite.

Pyrophyllite contains aluminum, which is an important industrial raw material. Nowadays, many people are in urgent need of aluminum to make refractory bricks for electric furnace covers and deoxidizers used in steelmaking.

Pyrophyllite is a little cheaper...2 cents of silver per pound. Because pyrophyllite is found everywhere in Fujian, and there are many production areas near Fuding on the map. And pyrophyllite, as the name suggests, has a delicate and shiny appearance, and can be used to make seals.

Very easy to distinguish.

The brothers continued to put a stack of color photos with flowers and stones into their arms...

...

Next comes the last item: people.

Professor Luo told them bluntly: There is a shortage of people for senior officials at the moment. If you feel that the living conditions in Chikan New District are not bad, then you can spread the news and bring some poor people who cannot survive in Fubei to live here.

People who travel through time will pay according to the number of people, and the price is compared to the cost of refugees in Moyunguan.

In real history, the Fujian Society encountered a severe drought this year. Zheng Zhilong, who had obtained an official status, with the support of Xiong Wencan, spent a large sum of money to "recruit tens of thousands of hungry people." This was the first time in history that the mainland had a large-scale migration to the other side of the sea.

migrant.

The Travelers are now making preparations to immigrate from the other side of the sea, including asking the Lin brothers to spread the news in Fubei that everyone can eat and drink... and everyone can practice martial arts.
