End of World's Businessman

Lancheng is located in the southwestern part of Huaguo. Winters are generally not too cold. Before the end of the world, there was almost no snow. But this year just entered November, and the temperature dropped by more than ten degrees after a wave of cold air went south. , the temperature hovered around 2 or 3 degrees, the coldest in Lancheng in recent years, and it seemed to be even colder than last year.

Wu Ye moved polythene several times from another plane, hurriedly and finally built a greenhouse with 16 mu of land, planning 5000 mu of greenhouses for planting vegetables, 3.5 mu of greenhouses for planting corn, and 5 mu of greenhouses for planting sweet potatoes and soybeans, and 2 mu of greenhouses to grow rapeseed.Rapeseed is relatively cold-resistant, and some fields that have not been covered with greenhouses have been planted with rapeseed one after another.

Vegetables, corn, sweet potatoes, soybeans, and rapeseed Lancheng kept some seeds for himself, and bought a batch from the settlement in the capital earlier, which is basically enough for sowing.The remaining 5 mu of greenhouses are planted with winter wheat. However, due to the general disaster of winter wheat last year, many settlements failed to harvest, and this year's grain is particularly expensive.

Under normal planting, the yield per mu of winter wheat is about 800 to 1000 catties. Given the current conditions in Lancheng, it is quite good if the yield of winter wheat can reach 500 catties per mu.The flour extraction rate of whole wheat flour is about 92%, and that of ordinary flour is about 80%. Sell ​​5 crystals.

And the price of grain seeds is now sold at 80 crystals (400 grams of gold) per catty. At least 20 catties of grain seeds need to be planted per mu of land, and the cost of grain seeds alone requires 1600 crystals.According to the plan, Ji Chong plans to plant 5 mu of wheat in greenhouses, and needs 100 million catties of grain seeds. The cost of grain seeds alone requires 8000 W of transparent crystals, which is only so much money to completely empty out the wealth of Lancheng.These wealth are only the converted value of crystal nuclei. In fact, a large part of the materials have not been realized at all. The number of transparent crystals that can be obtained does not exceed 3000W, and the total gold reserves do not exceed 60 tons.

Wu Ye's space ring is too small, only 27 cubic meters, and each time it is full, it can only transport an upper limit of 30 tons (6 catties) of wheat seeds. It will take 20 days to get enough of these grains.In order not to expose the secret as much as possible, after discussing with Qin Wuhua, Wu Ye decided to leave Lancheng temporarily, creating the illusion that they went to other settlements to get grain seeds.

Wu Ye said to Ji Xiang: "I have a way to get a batch of wheat seeds, and the price should be controlled at about 10 transparent crystals per catty. Tomorrow, Wuhua and I will take some people out of Lancheng. You ask Yu Hui to prepare 1 yuan for it." tons of gold, and prepare 20W crystal nuclei for me, the more orange crystals and red crystals, the better."

According to the system price, 1 orange crystal can be exchanged for 100 transparent crystals, and 1 red crystal can be exchanged for 50 transparent crystals; in Lancheng, orange crystals are still very rare. The current official price is 1 orange crystal can be exchanged for 1000 transparent crystals, and 1 red crystal can be exchanged for 200 transparent crystals. Crystal clear.The exchange price of red crystal and pink crystal is consistent with the system.

There are about 1800 orange crystals in Lancheng's warehouse, and about 2 red crystals. The reserves of these two kinds of crystal nuclei can almost meet Wu Ye's needs.As long as he has enough points, he can redeem some required exercises.

Ji Xiang frowned and said: "Gold and crystal cores are not a problem, but if you bring so many crystal cores on the road, aren't you afraid of causing a riot of zombies? Do you want me to exchange them for Tongdui crystal cards for you?"

The Tongdui Crystal Card is a smart anti-counterfeit card similar to coins that has just been born. The only people who have developed this kind of Tongdui Crystal Card and can guarantee universal exchange across the country are the rich and powerful settlements in the capital.After realizing the deadly attraction of the crystal nucleus to zombies, the top ten warlords in the capital and the major families united to establish the Guojing Bank.Notify the government staff stationed in the large and medium-sized settlements of the Corpse Hunters Union to prepare for the establishment of branches.

Now that the domestic communication is cut off, it is temporarily impossible to connect to the Internet. Therefore, the currently issued Tongdui Crystal Cards are smart anti-counterfeiting cards with a face value of 1000 Crystal, 1W Crystal, 10W, and 100W Crystal. The size is similar to that of the previous credit card savings card. Anti-counterfeiting system, anonymous and non-reporting of loss.Survivors only need to purchase the equivalent exchange crystal card of the National Crystal Bank, and the value crystal core on the card can be exchanged anywhere in the country where the National Crystal Bank is established.However, each purchase and exchange requires a 5% handling fee.

The Tongdui crystal card is basically meaningless to ordinary survivors, but it is of great significance to the caravan that ventures between various survivor bases. The Tongdui crystal card undoubtedly greatly reduces their risks.At least if you walk outside with the Tongdui Crystal Card in your pocket, you don't have to worry about being chased by zombies anymore.This will undoubtedly allow more capable people to form caravans, and strengthen the connection between settlements in the process of exchanging supplies. From a good point of view, the capital and major settlements will reduce transactions to a certain extent cost.

Of course, for the settlements, the National Crystal Bank is obviously one of the means to strengthen the control of the various settlements in the capital. With a crystal card that can be exchanged across the country, many survivors will lose their loyalty to the settlements. , because wealth can be easily transferred and they will migrate more easily.

On the other hand, the capital has not yet researched something that can isolate the energy of the crystal nucleus. The crystal nucleus of each bank has no way to communicate with each other. It can only force the settlements to participate in it. The basic rules are——

The bank's crystal cores are not enough, and the financial subsidy of the settlement, and then use the crystal card to settle transactions with the capital, and you can enjoy certain discounts; the bank's crystal cores exceed the reserve limit, and the settlement will use special products to buy them 'Excess crystal nuclei and special products are shipped to the capital; if they are really unaffordable, the local special guards will find a way to transport the crystal nuclei back to the settlement in the capital.

Such an approach is tantamount to working hard and taking risks in the settlements, while the capital sits and waits to collect the money to enjoy the benefits. The capital takes out the usual radishes and sticks, obediently cooperates, and allows the settlements to be assigned to the local Guojing Bank branch 30% of the shares; if you don't cooperate, I'm sorry, we don't have to play happily together in the future, let's go to bed and stop dreaming about trading.

Take Lancheng as an example, all aspects are inseparable from the transactions with the capital and other settlements-salt, gasoline, guns, shells, medicine and so on.

The situation is similar in other settlements. Even some large settlements that can satisfy self-sufficiency, they dare not completely break up with the capital.The settlement in the capital city includes more than 70% of the country's high-tech talents, and has the most cutting-edge scientific research institutions in the country and even the world. Maybe someone else will develop a D-virus vaccine one day, or a superhuman evolution medicine and other high-tech gadgets Son, then it will be too late to ask others.

The situation of large-scale settlements is much more complicated than that of Lancheng. Without exception, they are all established and controlled by some big forces before the end of the world. It is also very frequent, and the implementation of Guojing Bank in those places is much easier than in Lancheng.

The number one person in Lancheng, Wu Ye is the one who resists Guojing Bank the most. The old Mediterranean man who is in charge of building the bank has eyes almost growing to the top of his head, and his mouth is full of yin and yang. Slap him.

"Don't mention that stuff to me, just give me the crystal nucleus and send it to my house. I may have to leave for [-] days. You have to keep an eye on Zhou Wencai. Before the bank is built, you want to be in Lao Tzu's house." Domineering on the territory, there is no way!"

Zhou Wencai is the president of the Lancheng branch of Guojing Bank sent by the capital. Wu Ye is most annoyed by him talking about what is going on in the capital.According to the rating of Lancheng's scale (medium-sized settlement), to provide the branch with an initial reserve of 800W transparent crystals, you have to buy crystal cards directly with crystal cores.Now that Lancheng's Guojing branch is still selecting a site, Zhou Wencai couldn't wait to move the crystal core from Lancheng's treasury. Chong's relationship is simply annoying.

Ji Xiang is also very upset with Zhou Wencai, but he is the acting city lord of Lancheng, and he has a lot of contact with Zhou Wencai, so he can only bear with his impatience: "I see, I will find a way to 'find' something for him to do." I promise he won't be in the mood to jump up and down again in a few days." Zhou Wencai is very lustful, but his wife is a powerful tigress, and he only got this fat job based on his wife's natal relationship.There is such a big weakness there, if Ji Xiang doesn't make good use of it, he will be sorry for his brother's hard work to get the news.

Wu Ye nodded, and impatiently slapped the rabbit boss who was about to move: "Okay, send me the things as soon as possible later." One of the biggest advantages of the space ring is that it can completely isolate the crystal nucleus fluctuations like an isolation box .Things are safer in there than in a vault.

The rabbit boss withdrew his fat paws and licked his fur boredly. After a while, seeing Wu Ye getting up to leave, he immediately jumped off the sofa and followed Wu Ye step by step.Wu Ye has now resigned to his fate to accept this fat rabbit that doesn't make a fuss. The boss of the rabbit is quite timid when facing zombies, but he is not stage fright at all when facing people, and he enjoys the "attention ceremony" of others very much. The arrogant look is quite rare.The higher the intimacy between the contracted beast and its owner, the more tacit understanding it will be, and the smoother it will be when absorbing energy. It is willing to follow, and Wu Ye will not push it away. Gradually, everyone gets used to this stupid third-order mutant beast beside Wu Shao .

While Wu Ye was talking with Ji Xiang, Qin Wuhua gathered 40 spare core team members who had been training and inspecting during this period, and selected 12 of them to join the core team. Except for Ji Yun and Li Yuan, 13 people formed a caravan to go out to 'buy grain'.

However, their real destination is not any settlement, but Qingmin County.
