I handed in the sand sculpture through the book system

It should be said that taking advantage of the productivity gap between modern and ancient times for financial arbitrage is not a new idea. The experts of the emergency response team had a complete plan long before the group crossed.Even the arbitrage materials that were proposed at the beginning were not rare items, they were the most common cloth and silk—according to the price analysis in ancient times, the best silk could almost be exchanged for gold of equal weight; and the modern textile industry has almost become Without backward production capacity, silk materials of the same quality may only have a market price of 31 meters.As long as the silk is continuously exchanged for gold, it will not take long to squeeze out the reserves in the hands of the rich and powerful, creating an astonishing transfer of wealth.

This idea is flawless, but it can only be temporarily shelved after careful inspection: in the Middle Ages, productivity was underdeveloped, and silk was almost a unified currency for business in the north and south (gold was too heavy after all). If excessive investment caused inflation, that would be Stupid thing that doesn't pay off.After a long time of shelving, the traversers turned to steel coins, and this plan was basically left behind.

But now that Wang Zhi was inspired by the reward list, he quickly realized the means to make up for the shortcomings of this plan-limited to the extreme backwardness of productivity, and the poor precious metal reserves of the Northern and Southern Dynasties were almost completely controlled by the upper echelons, and ordinary merchants The people have nothing to do with it.

In other words, if the interest rate difference between gold and silver is used to engage in arbitrage across time and space, it will be a precise strike, and there will never be any omissions...

Of course, the north and the south are just now showing signs of calm and relaxation, and the traversers will not deliberately instigate any financial turmoil just for such a small profit.However, considering that the regime in the north and the south has been fully controlled, subsequent reforms will inevitably have a little unpleasant friction with the upper class; so Wang Zhi took precautions and added a small sum in his reply to King Qi. Said that for the convenience of north-south trade, it was decided to open a small-scale gold and silver exchange shop in Chang'an City by citing the trade exchange clauses in the "Joint Declaration" signed with Yuan'an.

This is originally a matter clearly stated in the agreement, and the advance notice is just to show respect.But with King Qi's eyesight and insight, of course, he couldn't think of anything wrong with this thing even after thinking about it.So this little private goods went through smoothly, and at noon that day, someone sent a decree approving the opening.

Because of the huge difference in values ​​between ancient and modern times, in King Qi's view, the requirements of the Hengyang Palace so far are really trivial and insignificant, and they are simply respecting their own interests to the greatest extent; the cooperation between the two parties is quite pleasant.Although he couldn't figure out what the strange conditions of the Hengyang Palace were trying to achieve (in various senses, it was basically similar to giving away for free), but this did not prevent him from being more flattering to Mu Chen and his party, trying to get rid of them. Grab something more in your hand.

Driven by this kind of mentality, King Qi treated the Modern Advisory Group extraordinarily dignifiedly. He even spared no time in his busy schedule to prepare a grand banquet for Mu Chen and his party. It is to clean up the wind and dust for them, and show the friendship of the landlord.Of course, the banquets in the Middle Ages cannot be compared with the modern ones, but after all, they are important cultural evidences evolved based on the etiquette system since the Eastern Jin Dynasty; Mu Chen and others may have longed for it, or Ye Gong likes the dragon to see something special, and most of them are willing Go and join in the fun.

After agreeing to the invitation to the banquet, a group of people waited to change clothes and wash in the annex where they stayed, preparing to enjoy the cultural sceneries of the Middle Ages at the banquet.As a result, before changing into a few of the heavy and dull dresses, Mu Chen heard loud noises outside in the courtyard, and I don't know how many people were shouting on the street outside the wall.

The other courtyard is next to the imperial palace, and it is already regarded as an important defense area in Chang'an, and idlers have never been allowed to gather.Now that the noisy sound has actually spread into the inner courtyard of the deep palace, there must be a great change.Mu Chen was startled, and immediately asked people to go out to find out the news.Half a quarter of an hour later, the soldier came in with a strange look on his face:

"Some people gathered in front of the imperial city to make trouble." He whispered: "King Qi is already sending people to control the situation."

Mu Chen was slightly startled, thinking that now is the most sensitive time after the palace change, who would dare to jump out and hit the muzzle of this gun?

"Who is making trouble?" He blurted out, "What is making trouble?"

Brother Bing, who went out to check the situation, took a deep breath, and finally reported in a low voice, but his tone became more and more strange:

"I went to inquire around, and they all said that the troublemakers were the idle children of the clan and nobles. They all wore white clothes and knelt in front of the imperial city, shouting that the master humiliated the officials to death..."

Even Wang Zhi frowned at this moment—after the palace change, the Qi Palace quickly controlled the Chang'an city defenses, and then used private soldiers to search for all the honorable clans in the city who were close to the royal family; Pass.Nearly a hundred years after the founding of the Northern Dynasties, the idle children of the clan lost all their vigor, and basically transformed from top to bottom into rice bug garbage manure-making machines, so they were included in the list of small shrimps as a matter of course, and they were easily let go.

But how dare a group of rice worms waste manure-making machines attack the palace to incite public opinion after the palace change?Could it be that King Qi and the time-traveling team were blinded by stereotypes, how many heroes are there among these trash?

Thinking that the previous estimate might have been wrong, everyone present couldn't sit still.Wang Zhi got up quickly, his tone had become dignified, but there was still some inconceivable in the dignified:

"These people dare to make trouble?"

The soldier who went out to reconnaissance hesitated to speak, but reached out and took out the mobile phone from his pocket and handed it to Wang Zhi.The above is a scene shot with a pinhole camera. It can be seen that there are people shouting and shouting from outside the annex to the main gate of the imperial city. The men in white all prostrated themselves on the ground and wailed bitterly. The crying was so loud that it could even suppress the commotion beside them.

Seeing that the troublemaker was acting in such a manner, Wang Zhi immediately felt a thump in his heart, realizing that the situation was indeed bad——the highest morality in the feudal era was that the master humiliated his ministers and died for the emperor. You can't force these loyal ministers and filial sons in front of so many people; let's not talk about the vain heads of fame and ignorance, and don't mention the scene of chaos in the world after the atrocities; What legitimacy of power can be expected?Hundreds of years ago, Emperor Ming of the Eastern Jin Dynasty heard that his ancestors killed loyal ministers and killed the emperor. He was so shocked that he covered his face. He threw himself on the bed and cried bitterly.

With this lesson not far away, the King of Qi must not act rashly, so as to bury this hidden danger for future generations.No wonder the samurai stationed at the main gate could only disperse the people around, but they didn't dare to get close to the man in white. If someone suddenly committed suicide after approaching, it would be an indescribable dung bucket.

Thinking of this, Wang Zhi gradually felt jealous respect, thinking that he had really underestimated the clan children of the Northern Dynasty—these people knelt and wailed in front of the imperial city, not just shedding tears; The board was already stained with blood, and his forehead was bloody.

To be able to deal with such a ruthless hand and deal with such a ruthless job, it is not a person who can be easily dealt with anyway.Wang Zhi stared carefully for a moment, and finally reached out his hand to Xiang Liang, but he wanted him to consider it from a military point of view, and use some means to break the deadlock. 33 Novel Network

Xiang Liang took the screen and glanced carefully, but subconsciously frowned.On the screen, several men in white mourned and wept for a long time, but they prostrated themselves on the ground and kowtowed.In an instant, blood splattered on the stone slab again, and even a lot of flesh was torn from the wound, flying out together with blood...

This scene was really bloody and not suitable for children, but it was commonplace for Vector and he didn't think it was abnormal.But just because it was commonplace, he looked it over several times before he became suspicious, thinking that even professionals trained in torture would have an uncontrollable pain response to this kind of blunt injury that was repeatedly torn; but these people He kowtowed like a madman. Could it be that the heart of loyalty is so strong that it can shield the physiological instinct of pain.

He picked up his phone and looked it over and over again, and finally saw a man get up from the ground, wipe off the blood and tears on his face, and prepare to kneel again.But within half a minute of cleansing his face, Xiang Liang had already caught sight of his eyes that were originally covered with blood.

These eyes have been crying for a long time, and they are red, swollen and bloodshot.But through the blood-soaked hair, one could see that the pupils of the man were shaking weirdly when he blinked, and even the muscles on both sides of the eyelids were violently twitching and contracting, as if a worm was crawling under the skin...

This detail is extremely hidden, even if someone accidentally sees it, they will probably only think that it is because of crying too much and feeling unwell.But Xiang Liang had participated in many joint exercises, and he could see the trickiness of this movement almost at a glance.

He stretched out his hand to call back the video, carefully observed the facial expressions of several people, and finally made a firm judgment.

"These people have taken drugs." He threw the phone back, his tone calm.

Everyone present was stunned for a while.The main reason is that the painting style of drugs does not fit well with the Middle Ages.Only Wang Zhi was stunned for a moment before finally reacting hesitantly:

"...five stone powder?"

Wushisan is a must-have medicine for Gaoshi in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and it can be regarded as a generation of pioneers in the field of drug addiction; it is said that after taking it, one will be in a trance and have a restless temperament, and even run wildly to make trouble. ).But Xiang Liang pondered for a while, but shook his head decisively.

"I don't understand pharmacology." He said slowly: "But Wushi powder is just some poisonous minerals. At most, it is heavy metal poisoning and paralysis of nerves. But to create this kind of uncontrolled muscle spasm, it must It's an extremely powerful drug."

Wang Zhi was stunned: "What?"

·

Wang Zhi was completely ignorant.Considering the ancient science and technology, it is great to be able to extract such addictive biological agents from plant ingredients, and [-]% of them are still low-level products that are rich in impurities and have extremely poor effects.The components of biological agents are extremely unstable, but any slightly complicated and difficult purification process is already a technological point involving modern chemistry.

Do they have the ability?

Therefore, from Wang Zhi's point of view, this matter is probably due to suspicion and unnecessary speculation—after all, no one stipulated that muscles should not twitch when crying bitterly, right?

However, half an hour later, Wang Zhi's opinion was slapped mercilessly by reality——

The clan ministers who stayed in the palace have all fallen ill.
