This traveler only wants to choose the lowest difficulty

Chapter 32
That afternoon, Zhou Fu came to the door with the promised money.

Wang Dong took Liu Bao to inspect the goods. When he saw it, he saw two boxes full of silver and a stack of banknotes, about half and half of each. Wang Dong thought to himself that Li Jinglong's moral character was actually pretty good.

You must know that the official currency of the Ming Dynasty these days is the Daming Banknote. According to the law, it is forbidden to directly use gold and silver for transactions among the people.But the Daming banknotes are a scam. Zhu Yuanzhang learned the rotten banknotes of the Yuan Dynasty in a good way. He issued banknotes and asked the people to use them. The credit of treasure banknotes is really worrying, and Daming, like Dayuan, issued banknotes without restraint, directly inflation every year, and the value of treasure banknotes depreciated rapidly.

Over time, even though it was banned by the government, the folks still quietly began to use gold and silver as currency. During the Jianwen period, gold and silver were used more frequently in private transactions, and this trend will become more and more obvious.By the end of Yongle, the credit of treasure banknotes would have completely collapsed, and the Ming Dynasty had actually turned to a silver-standard economy, and then the Ming Dynasty silently threw away treasure banknotes.

It is still in the early Ming Dynasty, and although the treasure banknotes have begun to depreciate, the status of legal currency is still very stable, although no one is willing to use it.Li Jinglong was willing to give half of the money paid to Shengyun Guan, half of the treasure and half of the silver, which is considered to be very particular.

The total amount of money was 580 taels, and Wang Dong distributed 80 taels of cash discounts given to Ma Dexian by Cao Guogong’s mansion to Wang Hongsheng, Liu Shiyong and Liu Bao, and then distributed ten taels to each Taoist Quanguan, and the remaining nearly 200 taels Two, Wang Dong put it into his small treasury with a smile.

The Shengyun audience didn't say anything, rather than saying that Wang Dong was greedy, it was better to say that Wang Dong was willing to give them money, which made them overjoyed.

Watching Zhou Fu happily leave the Taoist temple with twenty Taoist priests, Wang Dong finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In the afternoon, the Taoist temple was closed immediately. Wang Dong took the money and asked Liu Bao to buy some good wine and meat. After everyone had a meal, they began to do a comprehensive sanitation work.

If Li Jinglong and the others start construction in the Taoist temple and dig up dozens of corpses at once, Wang Dong really doesn't know how to explain it.

The cleaning work lasted for two days, and everyone finally moved the corpses on the west side of Shengyun Temple to the east. Wang Dong really tried his best. The three generations of Ma Dexian's ancestors persevered in killing people. There are too many corpses in the temple.

On the fourth day, Wang Dong announced that the cleanup was over and the Taoist temple could continue to open for business.At the same time, he called Liu Bao to the abbot where he lived.

"My lord, do you want to buy food?"

Liu Bao couldn't help being surprised when he heard Wang Dong's words.

"It's not about buying grain. We don't have a place to put it when we buy it. I just want to ask you if you know the way to those grain shops in the capital. I want to order grain with them."

"Fixed food?"

Wang Dong nodded and explained: "I paid for the food, but they don't need to deliver it right away. Instead, I wrote down a document and stipulated a delivery date. On that day, they would give me the food."

What Wang Dong was talking about was actually futures. Since the system considered Li Jinglong’s order as the minimum option, Wang Dong knew that his fortune-telling to Li Jinglong would definitely help him complete the task. He just wanted to see when Li Jinglong would respond.During this period, Wang Dong couldn't wait all the time, so he wanted to use his understanding of the direction of history to make some money.

To put it bluntly, he is still a squatting at home, living by earning extra money during time travel.The last time a box of gold was exchanged for 300 million in modern time and space, it is also a rare big money for Wang Dong, and he naturally wants to bring something back in this time and space.

At this time, Liu Bao thought for a while and said, "If you buy short and sell short in this way, I haven't heard of anyone in Beijing doing business like this, but if you do it, the grain merchants in the city may be interested."

This little fat man actually quickly understood Wang Dong's thoughts, he was really smart.

In the afternoon, Wang Dong and Liu Bao came to Liangdian Street together.

Walking into the largest grain store, Wang Dong said directly to Xiaoer, "I have a thousand shi of grain to sell. I wonder if any of you can come and talk to me."

Hearing his words, Liu Bao and Xiaoer were startled.

"A thousand stones?"

"Yes."

Xiao Er asked again and again, seeing that Wang Dong didn't look like a fake, and saw that he looked handsome, not crazy, so he hurried to report, and soon, a fat man with a dough ball, white face and long beard came out.

"There is money in Xiazhuang, the shopkeeper of Jichang Grain Shop. May I ask if this Taoist wants to sell grain?"

While introducing himself, Zhuang Youcai looked at Wang Dong quietly.

A thousand shi of grain is equivalent to 10,000+ catties of grain. You must know that the monthly payment of a first-rank official is only more than 80 shi. The landlord's house can't do it, and the number will be issued only when the warehouse ticket is opened.I have never heard of any Taoist priest who can produce so much food.

Zhuang Youcai didn't believe it when he heard that two Taoist priests came to the store and claimed to sell a thousand shi of grain, but he wanted to see the customer after all, so he came out from the back, not very much about the deal in his heart believe.

But when he came to the store and saw Wang Dong's elegant appearance, Zhuang Youcai hesitated again.

After several missions were added, Wang Dong's appearance was indeed a bit bluffing. He was wearing a well-tailored Taoist robe with a moustache and a dust whisk. He looked like a fairy, like a Taoist priest who could make money.

Wang Dong smiled, and said first: "Fu Sheng Wuliang Tianzun." Then he stroked the mustache under his chin, and said with a smile: "I am going to sell grain."

"I don't know where the food is stored?"

Wang Dong said with a smile: "Recently, a wealthy local businessman gave me a batch of wheat as a gift, and he put it in his village outside the city. That man's kindness was hard to refuse, so I had no choice but to accept it. It can be collected and collected. If you want to transport some grain When I arrived in the capital, I saw a dozen or so Taoists who couldn’t finish it, so I decided to sell it.”

Zhuang Youcai nodded when he heard the words. It turned out that the grain was melted.Looking at the appearance of the Taoist priest in front of him, although he is not very old, his temperament is there. He can be turned into a thousand stones. Although Zhuang Youcai feels a bit exaggerated, it is not unbelievable.

He thought for a while and asked, "I don't know where the chief is hosting?"

"The Rising Cloud View in the east of the city."

Zhuang Youcai nodded. The person in front of him was a Taoist priest with a Taoist temple in the capital, which undoubtedly made the transaction much more credible.

"I don't know what price you want to sell this grain for?"

"I don't often do business. I wonder what the market price of wheat is now?"

Zhuang Youcai smiled and said, "You don't often do business, Daoist, so it's embarrassing to say that. Daoist, you don't know that since it's a big deal, it can't be bought at the market price. We'll stockpile a lot of food at once. You also have to take a risk, the purchase price must be [-] to [-]% lower than the market price to make ends meet, right?"

Wang Dong asked honestly, "Oh, how much is that?"

Liu Bao was surprised to see Wang Guanzhu's face full of I'm a fool, come to kill me expression, couldn't help swallowing quietly.

He had never seen him like this since he appeared in Shengyun Temple, or else, who would have imagined that this man had ruthlessly killed his master and two senior brothers just a few days ago.

Seeing Wang Dong's expression, Zhuang Youcai's heart skipped a beat. This man obviously doesn't know anything and is a good licensed man.

He changed his mind for a moment and said with a smile: "How about three coins, seven cents of silver and one stone?"

Speaking of this price, Zhuang Youcai couldn't help jumping in his heart. This is only [-]% of the market price of spring wheat, and now that the Yan army is going south to take Xuzhou, the whole area around Gyeonggi is raising grain to support Xuzhou. Seeing that the war lasts longer, the grain The price of spring wheat will be higher, and the price of spring wheat will inevitably continue to rise in the next month.

If the Taoist in front of him is willing to accept this price, then he will make a lot of money.

Wang Dong stroked his beard and pondered for a long time, then asked a little embarrassedly: "Can you lift it up a little more?"

Zhuang Youcai's heart moved, this is going to happen!
Excited in his heart, Zhuang Youcai pretended to be at a disadvantage and said, "It really can't be any higher, otherwise I'll ask the Taoist priest to ask elsewhere."

Wang Dong seemed to be very dissatisfied, but he didn't want to bargain due to his thin skin. After a long time, he sighed helplessly: "I can't keep the food at the donor's house, so I can only sell it like this. But I have a lot of people in mind. Not much, a thousand shi of grain can’t be brought back within a few days, can I hand over the grain in a month?”

Zhuang Youcai frowned, he really wanted Wang Dong to bring the grain right away, but he thought it would be lucky to meet such a licensed product once, and he was afraid that if he rushed too fast, he would force people away.It's just that once he goes out, what if he goes to the next one and finds out that he has been cheated?
After thinking about it, Zhuang Youcai smiled and said, "Of course we can pay the grain later, but can we sign a document first so that I can free up the granary."

Wang Dong frowned and said, "Huh? Is it so troublesome to sign a document?"

Zhuang Youcai couldn't help but feel happier when he saw Wang Dong's stupid look. He realized that the Taoist priest in front of him was easy to deceive, so he pretended to be sincere and said: "This is how business is done."

"Oh...then sign it." Wang Dong said helplessly.

Seeing his wretched face with a bitter face, Liu Bao at the side only felt deep fear.This is a ruthless character who killed three people as soon as he arrived at the Taoist temple.
