These silver bars were neatly stacked in a corner of the warehouse, and Zhang Bai looked around again.

There are several strange-looking machines in the center of the warehouse.There are several boxes next to them. In the perspective, these boxes contain round silver coins. It’s hard to see what the silver coins look like. They look a bit like commemorative coins.

This might be a place that processes commemorative silver coins. It’s hard to say what commemorative coins were made in previous generations. Some are made of pure silver, and the purity is very high; there are also silver alloys with very low content; there are even silver-plated commemorative coins, and the prices vary greatly. big.Zhang Bai thought for a while and felt that he should see it on the spot.So he and Mu Jing drove away the zombies and entered the building.

Mu Jing pointed out the growth of glowing mushrooms, and soon the place became brighter.They walked to the warehouse door on the third underground floor and saw that the door was made of pig iron and had a combination lock outside the door.Now that the power is out, the combination lock probably won't open.

It’s still the old way, using talismans to explode.But after several loud noises, Zhang Bai was surprised to find that the door was too strong and the talisman was useless at all.When he was at his wits' end, Mu Jing pointed to a wall and said, "This is not a place where pig iron is used. It can be exploded here."

Yes!Zhang Bai once again felt that he had juvenile dementia.

"Boom", a big hole quickly opened in the wall.The two entered the warehouse, and Zhang Bai came to the side of the silver bar.

The silver bars didn't appear to be too much in Piggy's sight, but now that they looked up close, they felt like they were really quite a lot.He picked one up, looked at it carefully, and saw the words engraved on it: "Investment silver bar Ag99.9 500g", which Zhang Bai could understand. It was a 500g bar with a content of 99.9%. He counted the silver bars. There are probably more than 300. 500g is five hundred grams, which is one pound. When converted into ancient Chinese currency, it is 16 taels. Three hundred silver bars is equivalent to 800 taels of silver, which is quite a lot.

He tried to put one of the silver bars into the newly tattooed nine-story pagoda. He moved his legs and found that there was no weight at all. What on earth is this tattoo?It's so useful.

Then Zhang Bai moved the token with the word "Red" engraved on it from the first floor of the pagoda to the top floor of the pagoda.With the help of Mu Jing, more than 300 silver bars were piled on the first floor of the pagoda.

After the placement is complete, start working on the commemorative coins.This round silver coin is very beautifully printed, with a panda painted on the front and the national emblem on the back.He looked at it for a long time and didn't understand it at all.Commemorative coins are not for investment, and are usually not pure silver, so God knows what these commemorative coins have been mixed with. He decided to put most of them where they are before picking them up later.I just picked up a few coins and planned to go to the market tomorrow for people to check them out.

It is estimated that these commemorative coins are being processed, and the big mushroom has arrived.

This night, another huge harvest was achieved. Even if the silver content of the commemorative coins is less, there is definitely silver content.In addition to the 800 taels of sterling silver bars, there is always almost 5000 taels of silver.

"Sister Mu Jing, look at the change for our shopping tomorrow. It's all ready now." Zhang Bai said proudly.

"Great, I have a lot of things to buy tomorrow, so please bring a shopping cart home!"

......

The next day, noon.

The Seleucia market was crowded with people, and in Zhang Bai's opinion, the level of excitement was no less than that of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty in movies and TV series.

It's just that the Seleucia market is relatively small, but it's much better than the big men who are at war with each other at this time.

Of course, Zhang Bai would not listen to Mu Jing's bad idea and put the shopping cart out of dreamland. As soon as he arrived at the market, he found someone to rent an old cow.The old cow slowly walked through the market. Mu Jing sat on the cow's back and looked around curiously.Instead of wearing Han Chinese clothes, she wore a long dress that she found from the magical capital. The women were surprised and pointed at her along the way.

What does this dress look like to Zhang Bai?Although it is a famous brand, Mason Martin Margiela, the style is too conservative!Not only is she wrapped up tightly, but she also wears a blouse outside. Isn't it hot?It’s August here!

Traveling with them were Pasha and Solomon, who were also invited by Zhang Bai to go shopping together.Naturally, there are other purposes for letting them come to speak out.In fact, this time of shopping, it was not a big deal to accompany Mu Jing. What Zhang Bai wanted to see most were horses and cattle. The reason was very simple. Selling cattle and horses was too profitable.

The West is rich in horses, and tall horses are produced everywhere in Central Asia, North Africa, Western Europe, and Eastern Europe.He had already inquired from people with rich business experience, such as Pasha and Chen Huo, that a stallion that could go into battle in Parthia was worth about two taels of gold.If sold to India, it will increase tenfold and become 20 taels of gold a piece.According to Chen Zhuo, in the Central Plains at this time, a poor mare from Qinghai-Tibet that could only be used for transportation cost 20 taels of gold, while the price of a horse that could go into battle was almost unlimited, even the most ordinary stallion. They all cost 50 taels each.There are many top-notch Western horses like those produced in Parthia that are worth hundreds of gold.

The same goes for the sale of cattle. During the Han dynasty, cattle were not allowed to be sold because animal power was an important part of agricultural production at that time. "Book of the Later Han·Zhang Di Ji" said: "There are more diseases among cattle every year. The fields were reduced, the price of grain was high, and people went into exile." That is to say, in the Han Dynasty, there was an epidemic of cattle disease, and many people died. At that time, the cultivated land was reduced, the price of grain soared, and many people had to be displaced.

However, the profit from selling cattle is not as high as selling horses, so Zhang Bai just looks at the price and is not in a hurry to make a move.The most important thing today is to understand the channels for horse trafficking.

Both Pasha and Solomon were masters in this regard.The two of them are Armenians, and they didn't know each other at first. When they met, they found that they were not only fellow villagers, but also got along well with each other. It didn't take long for them to become old friends.They had made an appointment to go drinking together after shopping.

Zhang Bai looked like a 13-year-old child, so naturally he couldn't join them, so he secretly sighed with some regret.

I have roughly found out the methods of selling horses, and have found several local horse dealers.

In Parthia itself, the horse trade is not very profitable, because Parthia and its surrounding countries all produce horses, so the horse trade must be based on quantity, otherwise it will be difficult to make big profits.Daily sales are very frequent, because there are many occasions where horses are needed, and there are many small-scale horse dealers in the market.

Both Solomon and Pasha knew some such horse traders, so they contacted them respectively and asked about the price.

Horse prices have dropped slightly in recent markets.Because the war was over, some soldiers with poor families bought horses temporarily before the war and had to sell them after the war. Therefore, the number of horses on the market increased a lot and the price of horses dropped.

Zhang Bai also gave Pasha a silver coin, the commemorative coin he got last night, and asked him to find a silversmith to check the silver content of the commemorative coin. He just stayed with Mu Jing.
