Chapter 370 Buying Short of the Jin Dynasty
Chapter 373 Buying Short of the Jin Dynasty

This method may not be very clever in later generations.However, in this time and space, no one understands this aspect?

Although Chu Suanzi got the news that Ran Ming shipped out a large amount of coins, she did not guess what Ran Ming intended.

Seven or eight hundred car fare sounds like a lot, and it would scare people to death.

Actually, that's not the case.

Since the Jin Dynasty did not have its own national currency system, the coins used were either left over from the previous dynasty or were minted privately. Money from all dynasties and dynasties can be used. Money, as well as Shen Lang's iron money, so many huge and messy coins, one result is that the coins are very depreciated.

In the history of the Jin Dynasty, when the price of grain was high, it could be sold for a stone of rice, which was the highest in history.

Even in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, each stone of rice was four to five hundred yuan, but in the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, a bucket of rice was only five yuan, and a stone of rice was only fifty yuan. The price of grain in the Jin Dynasty was ten times that of the Tang Dynasty.

In fact, if Ran Ming wants to cause the Jin Dynasty market to collapse, it doesn't need to be so troublesome.After all, coins are the fatal flaw of the Jin Dynasty. If five or six million coins are put into the market, it is conceivable that the money of the Jin Dynasty will immediately become rotten.

It's just that Ran Ming knew that in the Jin Dynasty, merchants and craftsmen had a very low status. Because of the war, most of the people were martyred, and many national soul treasures were lost.

Especially in the terracotta warriors and horses of Qin Shihuang, more than 2000 years of memory metal have been unearthed. The sword body has eight facets, and the error is less than a hair. Although it is 2000 years old, it is still as bright as new. There is a layer of chromium salt compound 10 microns thick.This discovery immediately caused a sensation in the world, because this chromium salt oxidation treatment method is an advanced technology that only appeared in modern times. Germany invented it in 1937 and the United States in 1950 and applied for a patent.

However, China invented this technique more than 2000 years ago, but unfortunately, it was lost.

There are also the legendary Wooden Niu Liuma, Heng Dao, Mo Dao, and the God Arm Bow with a range close to that of a rifle.If there is no such thing as time-traveling, Ran Ming has nothing to do, but he has time-traveled. If he doesn't do something and let these precious things be lost, Ran Ming will feel guilty.

In this way, Ran Ming not only preferentially treated craftsmen in terms of policies, but at the same time, worked hard to win over craftsmen from all walks of life in Yan, Dai, and Jin under his sect, centralized management, and brainstorming, not only to preserve these precious technologies, but also These technologies can also be further developed.

Chu Suanzi calculated carefully, five plants worth 30 yuan is about [-] catties, [-] yuan is [-] catties, and [-] yuan is [-] catties. In fact, the load of a large cart is limited, at most it is only [-] million yuan. money.

Converted into silver taels, it is only 300 taels, and it is even lower in gold, only [-] taels of gold. Even if it is a thousand carts, it is only two to three hundred million yuan, or [-] gold.

This money is nothing in the eyes of the Jin Dynasty, especially those wealthy Dashi clans.

Chu Suanzi also knew that Liu Mo would get [-] gold in dowry, plus [-] grain.In Chu Suanzi's mind, when Xie Yi married a daughter, he would only be stronger than Liu Yuan, not inferior to him.

In this era, the amount of the woman's dowry is related to the status of the woman in the husband's family after marriage.

The dowry dowry is rich, the woman has no money to support her husband's family, and her waist is hard, so she can speak loudly.

Although Chu Suanzi did not expect that Ran Ming's heart would be so cruel.

money pond.

After nightfall, many families still light their lamps.An old man over fifty years old looked at his home reluctantly.

"Old man, let's go!" The middle-aged woman urged: "What are you looking at, life is going to be difficult, and the three sons have no money to marry a wife. The eldest son is 21 years old, so there is no nostalgia for such a dilapidated place. .”

The old man's eyes were sour. He was originally from the north, and his clothes were suitable for the south. His great-grandfather came to Qiantang with the army moving south.But the place where I have lived for more than 60 years is finally leaving today. Although I am living in another country, I am still a bit reluctant when it comes to leaving.But in a blink of an eye, he saw his three sons, two daughters, and the burden his wife was holding tightly.

There is not only 120 gold in the package, but also a [-]-acre land deed in Yanzhou, a house deed covering an area of ​​[-] mu with three entrants, these things he could not earn in a few lifetimes.

"Let's go!"

The family was silent and left the house.In fact, there is nothing to clean up.

When they came to the city gate, they found that not only their family had left home at this time, but hundreds of people.They are all the same as them, with their families, children and daughters, and the whole family goes north.

"Brother Liu!"

"Brother Hu!"

"Hurry up, hurry up, the ship will leave when it's late!" A management person shouted: "It doesn't matter if you are reluctant to leave, just hand over the house deed, title deed and Anjia in your hands, and you can go back! "

There was a commotion in the crowd. If they hadn't seen the money, they wouldn't have felt anything, but once they got it, it would be more difficult to get them to hand it over than to kill them.

"I'm leaving."

"Let's go too!"

……

In fact, such a thing was just a very common scene in the Jin Dynasty.

This is especially the case in cities along the river.Countless people, especially craftsmen, all left their homes with their families.At this time, accidents also appeared, and those refugees, petty gentry, rich peasants, small landlords, and even small officials who had been squeezed out in the Jin Dynasty were also moved after hearing the news.

Changing clothes to the south was a helpless action he had to take in order to survive.

This move to the north is for a better life.

Humans are actually like fish.

Wherever there is bait, they will swim there.

Now due to the gentry's crazy annexation of the land and the corruption of the government, the people of the Jin Dynasty have too much disappointment with the Jin Dynasty court. This is actually just an inevitable trend of historical development, but Ran Ming contributed to it, and things happened ahead of schedule.

In the city along the river, neither the defenders nor the magistrates were aware of the danger of this incident. They thought it would be harmless to leave a few untouchables.

They can leave if they want, anyway, they can't take their houses and lands with them, so they can get a lot of wealth.

Along with this move to the north, even Ran Ming didn't realize that a huge wave of immigrants went north.

Even in the face of the heavily armed Jin army swords and guns, these people are still fearless.Still going forward like moths to a flame.

The main jurisdiction of Dinghai County is Dinghai Island and more than 100 small islands around it. Among them, Dinghai Island is the largest, with an area of ​​only 96 square kilometers.

It was a small island of less than [-] square kilometers, and now it seemed to be a huge dock.

Tens of thousands of people gathered in the docks along the coast, working in full swing. The more than 30-foot-long keel was dragged to the pointing position by the crowd in shallow water. Countless craftsmen assembled the whole pieces of wood with rivets in a fast way, and the big ship changed every moment.

On the berth of the wharf, there is a large ship covered in red and colorful, with a very strong smell of tung oil. This ship is a whole circle larger than the five-tooth warship. 11 tons of sea ships.The sign of the Shenzhou string is Shenzhou NO.[-].

Dinghai Captain Gao Shi stood in front of four or five hundred sailors and gave a lecture: "From today onwards, you will be driving this Shenzhou NO.11!"

A dark-faced man in his 40s said: "The general is humble and confident. If something goes wrong, you can wring my head off and use it as a chamber pot."

This black-faced guy is called Ren Haoling, and he can be regarded as a person who has been doing business without money at sea for a long time. He is very familiar with the sea. It is said that he said that he took a boat of three thousand stones and ran across the country of Wa.

These sailors are fishermen who have lived at sea for many years.

Some are pirates.After the Huaxia Business Alliance negotiated with them and completed the contract, they will hire them with an annual employment fee ranging from [-] to [-] gold, and they will become employees of the Huaxia Business Alliance's ocean trade.

In Dinghai City, these people participated in ideological education for at least one month, and after being successfully brainwashed, they started to work.Ran Ming had long thought of developing ocean trade, but he didn't have all the right people.Now he is using the power of the entire Huaxia Business Alliance to poach the corners of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. If he doesn't use the strengths of the southerners who are good at boats, Ran Ming will be in vain.

Ran Ming needed to migrate tens of thousands of people from the waterway to the state of Wei. If such a huge population was to be transported there, it would be a difficult operation even in later generations.Even if all the sea-going ships of the Wei State are collected together, they can only transport 10 to 8 people at one time.It was far from what Ran Ming needed.

Although wooden boats are easier to manufacture than steel boats, the materials are also more convenient, such as fir, pine, cypress, teak, elm, red wood, camphor, nanmu, catalpa, catalpa, castan, cypress, etc., all of which are used for shipbuilding. .However, there is a prerequisite, that is, the wood is not felled, it can be used directly, and it needs to be dried in the shade for three years.All the water contained in the wood has evaporated before it can be used to build ships.

This is why Ran Ming spent a lot of money to directly buy ready-made wood instead of sending people to cut it on the spot.

At the beginning of the implementation of this plan, Ran Ming considered building a huge shipyard under the eyes of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Dinghai County is the first choice.In order to increase the transportation capacity as much as possible, Ran Ming adopted the method of assembly line production in later generations. With the cooperation of Xie Fei and Wei Meng, he disassembled the Shenzhou Wanshi sea ship (with a load of 1 tons) into more than [-] parts. Standardized operations are adopted, and the wood is directly processed into parts when purchasing, and the final assembly is completed on Dinghai Island.

Although this can improve production efficiency, the huge shortage of ships cannot be completed by increasing production efficiency.In desperation, Ran Ming adopted the principle of building if he can build it himself, buying it if it is not good enough, and renting it if he can't buy it, and desperately increasing the transportation capacity.
