From the gate of heaven

Chapter 91 [The dowry problem, open a gold mine in the main world]

After recruiting guards and negotiating the matter of the wooden rail minecart, today's business negotiations are over.

On the side of the mine protection team, there will naturally be a martial arts coach to help Lin Ze complete the initial transformation from a miner to an armed guard, and what Lin Ze needs to do is to wait.

Afterwards, a group of people, including Lin Ze, took a carriage back to the city.

In the carriage, Lin Ze held Li Yunhua's little hand tenderly.

After getting engaged, Lin Ze no longer has to avoid Li and the old man, and can blatantly date and get close to his fiancée.

Just now when Li He saw Lin Ze getting into Li Yunhua's carriage, he just shook his head and sighed, without saying anything.

"Brother Lin, my mother and father are worrying about what dowry they should give me."

After chatting for a while, Li Yunhua talked about their marriage.

On the sixteenth, Lin Ze went to the door to make an engagement. On the seventeenth and eighteenth, he discussed the matter of the reserve bank. Today, on the nineteenth, the guards were recruited, and the preparations for the gold bank were completely completed.

Lin Ze is busy here, and the magistrate's family is not idle, preparing for his daughter's marriage.

Although there is still more than half a month before the marriage, but if you want to do it lively, you need to start making preparations now.

"Oh? There's nothing to worry about. I mainly like you, Yunniang. The dowry doesn't matter."

Lin Ze smiled and said beautiful words.

Traditionally, for marriage with three books and six ceremonies, the man should prepare the dowry, and the woman should also prepare the corresponding dowry.

The value of the dowry is generally equivalent to the value of the bride price given by the man, at most slightly inferior.

The dowry and dowry property will be brought by the woman into the new home with the groom, and will be used as the start-up capital for the future life of the young couple to give birth to offspring.

It is true that he is free from the dowry, but any family that marries a daughter instead of selling a daughter will give a full dowry.

Because this is the guarantee of the daughter's life for the rest of her life and her status in her husband's family.

A dowry equivalent to the betrothal gift is a legal wife. This property will be freely distributed and disposed of by Li Yunhua in the future, and Lin Ze is not qualified to comment.

If Li Yunhua enters Lin Ze's house without dowry, according to the rules of the Great Zhou court, her status in the family is probably slightly higher than that of a concubine. Lin Ze can find an excuse to send her back to her natal family at any time, and Lin Ze still Totally reasonable.

After all, marriage is an act of expanding reproduction for the two strong teams to join forces to create greater value, not poverty alleviation.

This point is completely different from those marriage partners in the main world who take high dowry gifts to marry two quilts, and then still act like ancestors at home and frantically ask for offerings.

"Brother Lin, stop joking. I don't want to marry and be stabbed in the back by outsiders."

Li Yunhua knew that Lin Ze was talking beautifully, but she was still very happy in her heart.

The young girl is in love for the first time, and she likes the feeling of being spoiled by her fiancé very much.

As she said that, she covered her mouth with a chuckle, put aside the unfinished part, and began to tell Lin Ze some dowries that had been prepared by her family.

There are 100 servants and servants, [-] acres of Shangtian here in Fengping County, [-] acres of Shangtian in Yujiang County, my hometown, and ten shops and mansions.

These things were specially told by Mrs. Li to her daughter.

The purpose is to convey the story to Lin Ze through his daughter's mouth, to reassure the future son-in-law, and to express that his family is marrying his daughter, not selling his daughter.

"Yes, it's quite profitable to be an official."

Lin Ze complained in his heart.

For two thousand acres of land, the minimum guarantee is 10 taels, and the minimum guarantee for shops and yards is 1 taels. One hundred servants can only be regarded as a gift.

And seeing Li He like this, it is estimated that some valuable dowry will be prepared for her daughter in the future. It is estimated that the total dowry can reach 40 to [-] taels.

Li He has only been an official for a little over 20 years. Putting aside the money he used to support his family and manage his officials, he still has so much money left. However, Li He is not the kind who will be severely poked by the people. A corrupt official with a backbone.

It can be seen from this that being an official in the Great Zhou Dynasty was indeed very profitable, and it was enough to make a fortune by taking advantage of one's power.

Of course, this is also a very normal thing.

With an annual tax revenue of over [-] million taels of silver, the imperial court in its heyday will only get richer among the people.

For Li He, the county magistrate, as long as he does not use his power to earn more than 3 taels of silver every year, it is not even considered corruption. If he knows how to operate, he can even earn more without violating regulations.

However, with this wave of dowry going out, it is estimated that Li He's net worth will also be emptied.

Of course, he is not at a loss.

The [-] taels of gold and a pair of colored glaze Ruyi gifted by Lin Ze are quite generous in this era.

Li He and Lin Ze established a good relationship, which not only ensures the harmony of their daughter's married life, but also as the coal mining industry continues to operate, the Li family will also get more benefits.
-
All the way with Li Yunhua, I went to Fengping County and had dinner at the future husband's house. Lin Ze refused the invitation of the two uncles to go to the brothel and went home.

The fiancee can touch but not eat for the time being.

It's better than not being able to touch it before, but it hasn't solved the fundamental problem, so going to the brothel will add fuel to the fire.

If he didn't go back, Lin Ze felt like he was going to explode.

"woooooo"

Xiangxue choked, and finally swallowed the milk that was poured into her mouth.

At this time, Lin Ze let out a long breath.

I feel that my mind is empty and I have entered the wonderful realm of no self and nothing, and it took a while to come back to my senses.

While waiting for the cooling time to pass, Lin Ze was thinking about how big his gold bank could be.

Recently, in order to open a gold bank, Lin Ze consulted a lot of information in this regard.

"If you refer to the ancient development level of the main world, the total gold reserves of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty are about 99 tons. However, considering that the purity of gold and silver used by ordinary people in the Great Zhou Dynasty is already close to [-]%, this means that in the Great Zhou Dynasty Small-scale gold and silver mining and refining technology may not be much inferior to the current level of the main world."

"To sum up, the actual total gold reserves of the Great Zhou Dynasty are more, and the Great Zhou Dynasty should only be a part of the world, not the whole world, so it is optimistic that I can use commercial means from the other world. The total gold reserves looted is about [-] tons."

"That's [-] million taels of gold, accounting for about one-sixth of the total gold in the main world."

"If I want to use silver to plunder all the gold in this other world, I need to prepare 60 billion taels of silver. Considering the increase in the exchange rate of gold scarcity, maybe I need to prepare 120 billion taels of silver."

"However, the current total silver reserves in the main world are about 60 tons, which is 120 billion taels of silver, so it is not realistic for me to plunder the gold from other worlds. It is estimated that the main world will buy too much silver in the future. Crazy price increases."

"Theoretically speaking, if there is a profit margin, the theoretical maximum amount of gold I can plunder from other worlds is around [-] tons."

"There is no need to worry about the depreciation of so much gold pouring into the main world, because people's demand for precious metals has been increasing and will not decrease."

"After all, precious metals need extreme scenes like supernova explosions to be produced. Even a stalwart like the earth will be instantly evaporated in extreme scenes like supernova explosions."

"In addition to the difficulty of birth, gold and silver are also important industrial materials. Even if the currency property is aside, the value is far beyond the comparison of gemstones, which can be man-made."

"The principal can be accumulated by reselling materials through transactions between the two worlds. Regardless of the cost, theoretically, I can get a profit of more than four trillion yuan from the gold and silver transaction."

After counting this, Lin Ze felt that his tired body suddenly revived.

Is it enough to make money by reselling large yellow croakers?But there is only 1000 billion profits a year, and it takes 40 years to earn [-] trillion.

And if you want to plunder all the gold in the other world, it will probably take a year or two after the preparation is completed.

For an individual, the substances that can be eaten, used, and enjoyed are extremely limited. A small income of tens of millions or hundreds of millions is enough. If you can earn billions, you can basically use all the conventional substances you want. Enjoy everything you can buy.

But for Lin Ze, who has seen a wider world and is determined to stand at the pinnacle of the two worlds, no amount of money is enough.

Money is resources, and resources are combat power.

Four trillion, what does this represent?
This represents the tax revenue of the main world East China Sea country, the third economy in the main world, for a whole year.

It means that ten fully equipped aircraft carrier formations can be pulled up.

Or form more than 200 million army and air force mechanized units, and maintain their long-term stable operation, launch satellites, purchase a full set of thermonuclear weapon launch technology, and become an important force for maintaining world peace and stability.

And in this different world, the peerless master of Mingyue Tower died because of embezzling a total of several million taels for decades.

The amount of money that Lin Ze can theoretically earn by exchanging gold and silver through two-world transactions is enough to make a peerless master die more than 100 million times, or to train a corresponding number of peerless masters.

Of course, this is just a theoretical calculation.

Even if Lin Ze really used this money to train peerless masters, it is estimated that he would not be able to train so many masters due to the insufficient environment and resources of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

However, just through this theoretical calculation, it is enough for Lin Ze to deeply understand what kind of terrifying interests represent behind this gold and silver transaction.

"How to buy more than 60 billion taels of silver in the main world, and how to realize the [-] million taels of gold, this is also a problem."

After the excitement, Lin Ze regained his composure and continued to think.

Small-scale gold realization is very simple, for a few grams or tens of grams, just say that you bought it before, and you can sell it at any gold store.

But once the quantity reaches hundreds or even hundreds of grams, it can't be done like this.

If you can't produce the proof of purchase or the invoice, the owner of the gold and silver shop will really call the police and arrest you.

Not to mention, if Lin Ze continues to plunder gold through silver in the future of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it will not be as simple as a few hundred kilograms, but an amount of more than [-] million taels of gold, exceeding tens of billions of grams.

It is already unrealistic to ship this level of gold through conventional methods.

Not only is it not easy to sell this level of gold, but it is also not easy to buy this much silver.

Tens of thousands to 10 taels Lin Ze can also go to various parts of the main world to buy by himself, but if it reaches the scale of billions to tens of billions of taels of silver, if Lin Ze wants to buy it by himself, let alone whether he can buy it, even if he can If you buy it, you don't need to do anything else.

"Maybe, you can open a gold mine."

At this time, a brand new idea popped up in Lin Ze's mind.

The total gold reserves of the entire main world are about 20 tons, and the annual gold mining volume is about 3000 tons.

Lin Ze wants to sell the tens of thousands of tons of gold that he will plunder from other worlds to the main world reasonably and legally, so that no one will find out about his Heavenly Gate, so opening a gold mine by himself is probably the only way.

Not to mention the output of this gold mine, Lin Ze can completely mix the gold he obtained from another world into the output and ship it to realize cash.

After all, the gold reserves of the entire earth are calculated in billions of tons. It is only because of the high difficulty of mining that the total gold reserves in the world are currently low. normal.

"If you want to open a gold mine, you must go to the Golden Continent. This place is famous for its many gold mines. It has been a hot spot for gold rush in the main world since ancient times."

In the chaotic and death-shrouded land of Golden Continent, there are no powerful national forces, and there are only governments whose decrees cannot get out of the capital and warlords who rule the country.

This place is even more chaotic than that of the Great Zhou Dynasty. There can be eight car robbers and road tyrants in ten miles. If you want to survive, you can only rely on your own force.

In this land, food, medicine and clean drinking water are more hard-traded goods than gold and silver banknotes.

At this time, Lin Ze thought of the arms dealer with whom he had bought guns several times and cooperated happily.

Lin Ze did not give money to buy guns before, but prepared materials corresponding to the price of guns.

This is also an important reason why he did not conflict with the other party during the transaction process. After all, a customer who provides supplies steadily can earn more than a little profit from robbery.

"There is no mature industrial system in the Golden Continent. All industrial products and many materials need to be transported from the outside world, but the security and transportation are very poor, which is worse than the few small countries where I conceal the source of matsutake and yellow croaker. .”

"I have the All-heaven Gate and the portable space, and I can transport a lot of supplies to the Golden Isle."

"With this stable supply of materials, I can find a powerful local force or organization to cooperate to open a gold mine, and then use this to cover up the source of my gold, and then use this force or organization in the name of large quantities from all over the world. to buy silver."

"In this way, my gold trading business can be completely on the right track."

Thinking of this, Lin Ze suddenly became enlightened.

The channel for collecting gold in the different world is settled, and then the channel for selling gold and buying silver in the main world is settled, then he can officially start his trade business between the two worlds with his left foot spiraling up to the sky with his right foot .

　There are still [-] words, continue to code words.
