The back door of my house can last until the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 17 The Clever Use of Night Pearls
On the way back, Sun Jie went to the bank to check the balance on the bank card.

After getting it right, I used my mobile phone to transfer some money to my other bank cards.

At the moment, the debts are almost repaid, and by the way, I paid 4 to [-] yuan to my parents in the country. It's not that Sun Jie didn't want to give more, but it's just that if he gave too much, there is a high probability that he won't spend it, and even Worried about where the money came from.

The vast majority of parents in the world are like this, reluctant to spend their children's money.

When I have time, I will go back and tidy up the yard at home, buy some furniture and so on, and accompany them and the elders well.

Back at the supermarket, I asked Fan Xiaopeng for his bank card number, and typed the knife money owed on credit.

After finishing their work, the two of them who hadn't eaten yet made do with a bucket of instant noodles. After eating, they went to the farmer's market.

If you want to gain a foothold in the late Ming Dynasty, the food problem will bear the brunt.

Although the influence in the late Ming Dynasty was not established, the supply chain must be done well in advance.

After wandering around the farmer's market for a long time, I got the business cards of seven or eight grain and oil store owners.

As the saying goes, debt free, Sun Jie kept humming on the way home.

Fan Xiaopeng, the co-pilot, didn't know what Sun Jie was happy about, and also smirked along with him.

"After this period of time has passed, I may give you a big order. After you go back, tell your dad to let him set up the stove and prepare to strike iron!"

He took out a cigarette from the trunk with one hand, lit it, took a deep breath, and looked at Fan Xiaopeng, the co-pilot.

Fan Xiaopeng was also polite, took one, and asked with some doubts: "Brother Sun, why is this? I bought three at once before, and the collection is enough, why do I need more?"

Slowly exhaling a puff of smoke, Fan Xiaopeng asked again: "That's fine too, how much will it cost this time? I still have twenty or thirty at home."

"I don't know, but twenty or thirty is definitely not enough!" Sun Jie said.

"Okay then, I'll just tell my dad when I go back." Fan Xiaopeng didn't ask any more questions.

As for why Sun Jie wanted so many swords, he didn't care much.

He always felt that Sun Jie was not an ordinary person, following him was much better than fooling around by himself.

Sun Jie stepped on the brake lightly, stopped outside the supermarket, and looked at Fan Xiaopeng solemnly: "By the way, if I invest in you and let you start a machinery factory, what do you think?"

Fan Xiaopeng was a little surprised, he didn't expect Sun Jie to say these words.

"Brother Sun, it's not that I doubt you, it's just that we haven't known each other for a long time, so we're not afraid, is the money in vain?" Fan Xiaopeng looked serious.

In a society where human relationships are cold and warm, it is indeed unimaginable for Sun Jie to act like this.

"I believe you, think about this matter carefully!
I will transfer another 5 yuan to you later, and you can use it to find connections or something. If it is not enough, tell me again! "

He threw the cigarette butt out of the car, patted Fan Xiaopeng on the shoulder, and got out of the car.

Fan Xiaopeng hadn't recovered from Sun Jie's words, and sat in the car blankly.

After a while, the transfer information came over.

Looking at the tens of thousands of dollars in the account, Fan Xiaopeng was still a little dazed.

After returning to the supermarket, Sun Jie began to search for things in the grocery section of the supermarket.

An artificial night pearl the size of an adult's fist entered Sun Jie's eyes.

This night pearl exudes a slight light.

This is an artificial luminous pearl, the main ingredient is artificial strontium aluminum borate, it is worthless, and it is a rotten street thing.

This is an environmentally friendly luminescent material, which is cheap and can glow for a whole day with a few hours of light.

This luminous pearl is placed in the grocery area. It has not received sufficient light for a long time, and now it looks slightly dim.

"This thing is much more valuable than a glass mirror, and it can be exchanged for a lot of money no matter what.

The most important thing now is not money, it should be the land. It is not unusual for such a big night pearl to be exchanged for hundreds of acres of land!

As for what to replace in the end, let’s see when the time comes, what is missing is what to replace. "

Holding this luminous pearl, Sun Jie wandered around in other areas.

When I came to the seasoning area, there were some things like salt, vinegar, soy sauce, white sugar and the like.

"These things are sustainable things, especially salt and sugar, sold in the Ming Dynasty, it is almost a huge profit, and it is also stable.

I haven't established a strong influence yet, and the salt cannot be moved, so I will sell sugar.The salt dealers in the late Ming Dynasty were not easy to provoke. If you don't have strong force, provoking them rashly is tantamount to courting death! "

Sun Jie played with the night pearl in his hand, looking at the white sugar in front of him.

"Brother Sun, is what you just said true? It's really, really embarrassing for the 5 yuan!"

Fan Xiaopeng stood behind Sun Jie and asked.

Sun Jie turned around and said, "I can still lie to you? If you don't believe me, we can even sign a contract! You can take the 5 yuan at ease and let you do things for me. How could I Treating you badly? Take it at ease!"

"There is no need for the contract, I believe in Brother Sun. However, this is a matter of great importance, and I have to go back and discuss it with my father.

This 5 yuan is really a lot, or so much! "Fan Xiaopeng said.

"Okay, if you say this to me, you will be offended. I treat you as a brother, don't make it difficult for me.

How about this, I'll send you back now, don't rush to reply, think about it after you go back, and come back to me in a few days. "Sun Jie pretended to be unhappy.

Fan Xiaopeng had no choice but to accept the 5 yuan.

Fan Xiaopeng patted his chest and promised: "From now on, if Brother Sun has anything to do, just let me know, as long as I can do it, there will be absolutely nothing wrong!"

Sun Jie smiled and said, "Just remember it!"

Put the Ye Mingzhu in his hand in the drawer under the counter, and then drove Fan Xiaopeng back.

When he came back, Sun Jie took the luminous pearl, some food and water, changed his clothes, and took the Sifang Pingding towel and went to the Ming Dynasty again.

Still, as always, the gate was closed, and a note was posted on it saying that it was temporarily closed.

It was still broad daylight in the Ming Dynasty, and a golden door appeared in the middle of the bedroom. After the golden door, Sun Jie appeared here with supplies.

Chen Hu and the others are very hardworking, and they have almost tidied up the yard in the past few days.

Lacking some necessary furniture and furnishings, the yard looks a bit shabby.

The debris that has been cleaned up is still piled up at the back door in the backyard.

Without a guide, the three were afraid of being found out and Sun Jie would be implicated. During the few days when Sun Jie was away, they stayed in the house.

Sun Jie put the food in the bedroom, took the luminous pearl, and walked out of the bedroom.

Before leaving, Sun Jie also left enough food for the three brothers, so there is no need to worry about anything.

As soon as he came out, he saw several people practicing martial arts in the yard.

Chen Hu was holding a long wooden stick in his hand, and he played it vigorously.

The other two also held wooden sticks and practiced the style.

Seeing Sun Jie, they hurriedly stopped and stood neatly in front of Sun Jie.

"Did anything else happen during the few days I was away? Is everything okay?" Sun Jie asked.

"Return to my lord, it's nothing, and no one came!" Chen Hu replied.

Sun Jie nodded, and placed the Ye Mingzhu in his hand on a wooden pier in the center of the yard, allowing the sun to recharge it.

When Chen Hu and the others saw this round night pearl, they all moved closer to them.

Under the sunlight, the light of the luminous pearl is very weak and can hardly be seen.

But they knew that what Sun Jie took out was definitely not ordinary.

Forget about other things, such a round stone alone is hard to see.

"This thing doesn't look like this, you will understand after dark, now go out with me!" Sun Jie said to several people.

After tidying up, Sun Jie took Chen Hu and Zhao Dading out, and Liang Wu took care of the house.

Sun Jie's purpose is very strong. His main purpose of going out today is to inspect those shops in Xi'an Mansion that sell salt or sugar.

Since ancient times, salt, iron and sugar have been huge profits.Especially salt, which is a daily necessity, has a huge market.

All kinds of shops in Xi'an Mansion are concentrated in the west of the city. The further you go to the west of the city, the more shops are lined up, and the more low-rise residential buildings.

There are two main sources of salt in Xi'an Prefecture.

One is the salt of Prince Qin’s Mansion, which was obtained from Huamachi Salt Lake in Yan’an.

His family has a lot of Yanyin, and they can't eat much throughout the year, so they sell it.

The other is the salt of Shanxi merchants. The Shanxi merchants in the late Ming Dynasty were huge monsters, and they were found almost everywhere in the northern border of the Ming Dynasty.

This is a profit-only business organization, and it will do everything for profit.

They don't care about ancestors and dignity, they can sell them for money.

The so-called "Eight Great Imperial Merchants" emptied Daming's foundation bit by bit.

This is the target that Sun Jie must eradicate in the future. When he becomes stronger in the future, he must not spare them.

In the past, most of the salt in Shaanxi was obtained from Huamachi Salt Lake in Yan'an Prefecture, which was basically controlled by the Qin Palace.

The output of Huamachi Salt Lake is very large. In previous years, the salt in Shaanxi and its surrounding areas was supplied by Huamachi Salt Lake.

Later, the north was in chaos, and the output there began to decline. In addition, it was difficult to transport it, and the cost began to increase.

Shanxi merchants saw this opportunity, intervened in Shaanxi Salt Industry, and transported salt from Yuncheng Salt Lake to Shaanxi.

Relying on the low price and sufficient supply, the salt in Prince Qin's Mansion was quickly defeated.

Although the salt currently on the market is still supplied by the two, the proportions of the two are vastly different.

This practice of Shanxi merchants violated the laws of the Ming Dynasty, but they had made a lot of investment in the imperial court. How could Chongzhen know what they were doing?
Even if the Qin Palace refuses to accept it and impeach Chongzhen, there is a high probability that it will not help.

After wandering around for a long time, Sun Jie keenly discovered that there is very little white sugar on the market in Xi'an Prefecture, and the white sugar sold is not pure, with many impurities in it, and the overall color is light yellow. compared to granulated sugar.

Although the quality is not good, the price is very high, and many people buy it.

The sweets with bad quality cost [-] Wen per catty, while those with good quality cost around [-] Wen.

In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, one penny was equivalent to about 14 cents in modern times, twenty penny was 21 yuan, and thirty penny was [-] yuan.

How much is a catty of modern white sugar?The wholesale price basically hovers around three yuan a catty, and the most expensive one is no more than five yuan.

This is a good business with huge profits. If you do it well, you are not afraid that you will not make money.

As for reselling modern glass mirror cotton cloth and other things, that must be done.But the food needs to be eaten bite by bite, and the road needs to be walked step by step.

Even if there are better sugars in this era, how can they compare to Sun Jie for their cost?
The people who can live in the prefectural city of Xi'an are basically rich and powerful gentry landlords.

Even in the west of the city, there are only a handful of ordinary people.

This shows that white sugar has a big market in Fucheng, Xi'an.

There is a lot of white sugar in Sun Jie's supermarket, and it is very convenient to get it.

But the problem is, I don't have a storefront.Moreover, if there is no one on the shop at the end of the Ming Dynasty, all kinds of exorbitant taxes can kill people.

A merchant is a lowly person, you are not a merchant, it is not so easy to do business.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the class of scholars, farmers, and businessmen began to loosen, but that was only for big businessmen, big business leaders.

Ordinary businessmen bought a large amount of expensive white sugar out of nowhere, that was not making money, it was killing them.

Therefore, if you want to sell white sugar, you have to make good use of Zhou Da and get involved with Qin Palace.

As for Shanxi Merchants, they are a group of guys who cannibalize people without spit out their bones. Cooperating with them is tantamount to seeking skins from tigers.

Back home, Sun-jae thinks about how to use him.

It was just getting dark when there was a knock on the door.

No need to think, Sun Jie knew who it was.

In the entire Xi'an Mansion, only Zhou Da knew that Sun Jie was here, and this was also Zhou Da's house, so who else could he be?
Sun Jie put away the night pearl in the courtyard, came to the front yard, and opened the gate.

Sure enough, Zhou Da was standing outside with a smile on his face, and he walked straight into the gate without any hesitation.

"My dear brother, there is nothing to disturb you!" Zhou Da arched his hands and said with a smile.

"What can this disturb? Go in and talk!"

Sun Jie led Zhou Da into the back hall, the back hall has been tidied up now, a few chairs brought from Hyundai are placed there.

After sitting down, Zhou Da smiled and looked at Sun Jie: "I don't know what you said before, what's the matter?"

Of course Sun Jie knew what Zhou Da was talking about, but he was still pretending to be stupid, "What are you talking about? Why don't I understand!"

"It's that treasure. Didn't you say before that there are many such treasures here, brother, why don't you know about it today?" Zhou Da became anxious all of a sudden.

That is his hope for the future, if this unexpected thing is gone, how will he gain a foothold in the Prince Qin's mansion in the future?

"Oh!"

Sun Jie dragged his voice and said, "It was about this matter, that treasure, but now it's gone."

Zhou Da was in a hurry, he stood up from the chair with a huff, his face turned cold to the bottom in an instant.

"but,"

Sun Jie changed his tone, and said, "I have treasures that are more powerful than that kind of treasure, but I have one condition!"

"What treasure? Let me see it first, there is nothing, how can I be sure?" Zhou Da's tone was a little calmer.

"Wait a while, I'll come as I go!"

Sun Jie walked towards his bedroom, and after a while, he saw him slowly approaching holding a shiny object.

As the sky was getting darker, Sun Jie raised the Ye Mingzhu in his hand high and placed it beside his face.

The light emitted by the night pearl illuminated half of his face.

"Crack!"

Zhou Da fell off the chair, quickly got up again, bent over and ran towards Sun Jie.

"Hoohoo!"

Like a cow that has just plowed the ground, Zhou panted heavily, his eyes staring like copper bells.

"It's just a night pearl!" Sun Jie said calmly.

"Ye Ye Ming Pearl? Is it really Ye Ming Pearl?"

Zhou Da spoke incoherently, because of excitement, a fine layer of sweat broke out on his forehead.

His heart was beating non-stop, and the greed in his eyes had intensified a bit.

A pair of hands kept rubbing, wanting to take it from Sun Jie's hand.

But Sun Jie was much taller than him, so he directly raised the Ye Mingzhu in his hand again, making him unable to extricate himself.

"What do you think is the price of such a miraculous treasure?" Sun Jie laughed.

"This is a priceless treasure, this is a priceless treasure." Zhou Da quickly said.

Sun Jie held the Ye Mingzhu and sat in the back hall again.

Zhou Da sat across from him, his eyes fixed on the night pearl in Sun Jie's hand.

What is it called?This is called temptation.

Isn't Sun Jie afraid of Zhou Da's malicious intentions?

In fact, before that, when Sun Jie gave him the mineral water bottle, he had already tested it.

If Zhou Da really had malicious intentions this time, then the past few days must have been uneven, and he would definitely bring people from the palace or other cronies over to press him for questioning.

Chen Hu said that Zhou Da didn't come to the door in the past few days, and nothing unexpected happened, that is to say, Zhou Da probably didn't inform the palace or other people about this matter.

The Qin Palace is used to domineering, if they know that Sun Jie has that kind of treasure, can they bear it?
Children hold money in the market, people's hearts are unpredictable, if Zhou Da will tell the palace or other people like this, even if Zhou Da has no malicious intentions, there is no guarantee that others will not.

But nothing really happened recently, that is to say, Zhou Da will keep this secret tightly.

Sun Jie also wouldn't think that the people of the palace would play any tricks on him.

The palace has a high status in Shaanxi, and I am just an ordinary person with unknown identity. If I really want to deal with myself, I will deal with him directly, so why use any tricks?
In addition, Zhou Da was here alone again tonight, so there was not much to worry about.

In fact, Sun Jie could also think that General Zhou must have swallowed the mineral water bottle, otherwise, he would not be the one who came tonight.

According to the previous temptations, it can be seen that Zhou Da is a person who is greedy for profit and wants to monopolize treasures.

That being the case, you should make good use of his shortcoming.

Of course Ye Mingzhu would not give it to Zhou Da, she was just using him.

In fact, I can also understand that a person like Zhou Da, who is blinded by profit, will definitely not let outsiders know in order to monopolize the treasure. This is human nature.
