I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 675, the gravedigger I found
Guo Jia couldn't help nodding when he saw this model. He found that under this model, it is very convenient for buyers and sellers of bulk commodities, whether they are buyers or sellers.

Just as he only needs to look at this wooden board, he can get a general idea of ​​the prices in Jidu and even the whole of Hebei.You can also easily understand the price of the goods sold in Crab Island in Dagan!

He looked at the prices of timber and sulfur materials, but when Guo Jia saw the prices, his face became ugly. It wasn't that the prices were too low, but that the prices sold here were too high, far higher than Raised the purchase price of crab merchants.

Guo Jia said with suppressed anger: "Sure enough, there is no business and no adultery!"

Guo Jia would not be so angry at the price of one or two times, but the price of sulfur here in Jidu is more than ten times higher than the price they bought from Crab Island, and the price of wood is also five or six times different, especially for the century-old giant wood. More than 20 times, this is simply that they are playing fools!
"Even if you want to borrow money to form your own caravan, otherwise it would be too much of a loss! Otherwise, our Crab Island has valuable specialties, and we will not be able to make money under the exploitation of these merchants!" Guo Jia realized that Crab Island did not have its own The transport fleet is too disadvantaged.

In order to understand the truth, Guo Jia found the merchants who bought these goods and asked the prices of wood and sulfur during this period.The wood was fine, and the price fluctuations were relatively small, but what surprised Guo Jia was that the price of sulfur unexpectedly rose a bit.

This made Guo Jia very angry. You must know that the merchants who came to Crab Island before desperately squeezed the price of sulfur mines, saying that the world has been calmed down, and the demand for gunpowder has been reduced, so sulfur can no longer be sold at a high price.

But this is not the case here at Dagan. Although the war has ended, the demand for gunpowder in the whole world has not decreased with the end of the war. On the contrary, because of the end of the war, the world has entered a period of construction. Demand has risen.

Daqian is not about governing by doing nothing. Lei Gong's governors and prefects all want to make meritorious deeds.Therefore, Guo Jia has seen several infrastructure projects along the way, each of which is a large project worth hundreds of millions, billions, or even tens of billions.

These large projects require a large amount of construction materials such as cement, ore, bricks, etc., and these ore mining requires gunpowder to explode the mountain.After these major projects, the whole of Hebei is full of newly opened mines. The demand for gunpowder has not only not decreased but increased, and the increase in demand for gunpowder has also driven up the demand for sulfur.

The most sulfur mines in the world built their Crab Island. It stands to reason that they should make more money, but after being manipulated by these sea merchants, they earned even less. They only got one hard-earned money for their hard work. Part of the profits were earned by these sea merchants, how could this not annoy Guo Jia, he considered himself a national scholar but now he was tricked by a group of sea merchants.

This incident made Guo Jia firm in his idea of ​​building a transport fleet. Even if he borrowed money, he had to find a way to buy some sea-going ships. Otherwise, it would be impossible to stop this kind of thing. He didn't want to continue to be a fool!

Suddenly in this noisy environment, Guo Jia heard a jingle bell.

Then Guo Jia saw that the Jizhou Water Transport Company that the carriage driver said just now was listed at the highest place on the stock exchange!

Immediately, the staff at the stock exchange rushed to this counter one by one, holding banknotes with a denomination of 1 min to buy the stocks of Jizhou Water Transport Company!

Guo Jia was very envious of this scene, he was so rich, especially when he saw some big businessmen in the back, putting a big suitcase on the counter, opening the suitcase, it was full of bundles of banknotes. This suitcase is estimated to have tens of thousands of wires, which is several times more than the financial revenue of Crab Island.

Guo Jia took a closer look and found that among the people in line, there were quite a few people carrying such glove boxes. With the wealth of a country in their hands, it can only be said that they are big businessmen, and they are really proud!

Guo Jia muttered to himself: "If you don't come to the stock exchange, you don't know that there are so many wealthy businessmen who are so rich that they can rival the country. It is indeed a stock exchange with a river of gold, and it really lives up to its reputation!"

After getting the information he wanted, Guo Jia left the stock exchange, got into the driver's car again, and said to him, "Go to Jidu Library!"

This place was the place he most wanted to visit this time in Jidu.It is said that Lei Gong collected the books of the entire great Han clan and the imperial court Lantai for hundreds of years, all of which are in this library.

Back then, the Guo family didn't have the conditions to go to Lantai to read these books, but now that Lei Gong has put it on the bright side, of course Guo Jia is going to read it!These books are invaluable to him!
Jidu Library is also a very tall building. Although it only has five floors, it is taller than ordinary eight or nine-story buildings. The wing angle structure is adopted, with a hint of the classic atmosphere of the Han Dynasty. It can be regarded as the architectural feature of the combination of Han and Gan, but it is not full of the atmosphere of nouveau riche like the stock exchange.

At the entrance of the library, Guo Jia saw something that surprised him. Many stone tablets were placed at the front of the library. There were so many of them that a square was built in front of the library to accommodate these big guys!
And these steles are the famous Xiping Stone Classics. Guo Jia had seen it many times in Luoyang City, and Guo Jia had memorized the contents above!

The so-called Xiping Stone Classics is actually the fact that the Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty found the great Confucianists of the Han Dynasty and asked them to jointly correct the Five Classics, and then burn these scriptures on stone slabs for copying by scholars all over the world.

Guo Jia knew that Emperor Ling spent a lot of money to produce this Xiping Stone Classic, because he wanted to compete with the big Han clan for the right to speak, and change people like Xu Shao who could determine the fate of a scholar in the officialdom, and wanted to make the officials The right to appoint is in hand.

To a certain extent, Guo Jia agrees with this behavior of Emperor Ling, which can provide them with the opportunity to leap to the dragon gate, but Lingdi wasted all his efforts. Although the Xiping Stone Classic caused Luoyang paper to be expensive, there was nothing. Change, the world is still controlled in the hands of powerful and noble families.

However, Emperor Ling completely lost his faith after repeated battles and defeats. He simply became a salted fish and only cared about his own enjoyment. This led to the Yellow Turban Rebellion and the birth of Lei Gong. Asking for trouble, Zhang Jiao has a close relationship with the powerful and noble families in Hebei. It is very likely that the Yellow Turban Rebellion was caused by them in order to break away from the party, but they did not expect that their behavior would find a gravedigger for themselves, and everyone in the world All the powerful and noble families were buried with the big man.
