This time, Lin Ze emptied the gold reserves of all the large households in the county and obtained a total of 110,000 taels of gold.

In order to exchange the gold, Lin Ze spent 1.1 million taels of silver. In addition to the silver taels he had accumulated from doing business, even the one million taels of silver he had just purchased from Qixia Bank was spent.

Next, Lin Ze must purchase another batch of silver, otherwise the gold bank's subsequent business will not be able to start.

"This time, just buy ten million taels of silver."

Lin Ze was thinking in his mind.

The price of gold in the main world has increased recently, from the previous 420 yuan per gram to 450 yuan per gram.

The price of silver has increased from 5.21 yuan per gram to 5.31 yuan per gram.

In exchange for 110,000 taels of gold, Lin Ze spent 1.1 million taels of silver, worth 292.05 million.

110,000 taels of gold, based on the current gold price in the main world of 450 yuan per gram, is worth 2.475 billion.

In other words, Linze Gold Bank made a profit of 2.18295 billion just one day after its opening.

This makes money faster than selling mushrooms or large yellow croaker.

When Lin Ze uses the gold he earned to go to the main world to buy 10 million silver, and then return to the other world to exchange it for gold, Lin Ze's assets will double again. He stepped on the spiral with his left foot and right foot.

The gold and silver trade between Shengtian and the two worlds is now officially on the right track.

"The only regret is that the gold here in Fengping County has basically been exhausted. If you want to buy gold in the future, you will only have to wait and see, and you will not be able to get rich overnight like you are now."

"If I want to harvest gold on a large scale, I may have to wait until my strength in the other world expands further."

Lin Ze sighed with some greed.

In the next two days, Lin Ze continued to keep an eye on the operation of the gold bank.

At this time, the gold bank itself did not have much business, and the main focus of the business shifted to the dock area, exchanging silver and copper coins for merchants coming and going, and buying gold at the same time.

Because of Caobang's guarantee, merchants coming and going have confidence in Lin Ze's newly opened Zhiyuan Gold Bank.

But even so, he can only collect about one or two thousand taels of gold for Lin Ze every day.

However, this is enough for the time being.

------------------

On October 28, Lin Ze once again turned his attention back to the main world.

Ji Shuqing has been busy with Delicious Lin's career these days, so she doesn't have the time or energy to bother Lin Ze. Being able to make a video call every day is a break from her busy schedule.

In Ji Shuqing's field of vision, Lin Ze was just as busy as she was, and sometimes he was not even in the country.

So she didn't have any suspicion about Lin Ze who disappeared frequently.

Evening, Golden Island.

Aside from coming here through the Zhutian Sect, this is the second time Lin Ze has come here openly.

The last time Lin Ze dropped off at Xihai International Airport, he then took the land route to Yulin City.

This time, we did not follow this route.

We went directly to the pier not far from the airport, took the accompanying security personnel and boarded a ship from here, walked along the coastline for a while, turned into an inland river, and drove directly to the vicinity of Yulin City Pier.<

/p>

This wharf was recently built to receive supplies shipped from outside Golden Continent at any time.

In order to facilitate transportation, a new concrete road was built at this terminal, leading directly to Yulin City.

At the pier, Zhang Hai came to greet Lin Ze.

Behind him followed a long convoy of soldiers carrying firearms and wearing military uniforms.

However, from the not-so-strong bodies of these soldiers, it can be seen that they are not elite soldiers, but more like recruits.

And this is Zhang Hai’s recent achievements.

"Good brother, I haven't seen you for a while."

Zhang Hai hugged Lin Ze and spoke with a smile.

"It's been a while since I last saw you. Brother, you've been looking so radiant lately. You've become slimmer."

Lin Ze patted Zhang Hai on the shoulder and said with a smile.

Zhang Hai was a fat man weighing 300 pounds before, but now he has lost at least 20 to 30 pounds and his skin has turned darker.

However, I am in good spirits.

It can be seen that the other party should have been busy with his career during this period.

After exchanging pleasantries, the group was ready to set off.

From the dock warehouse, Lin Ze drove out many of the bulletproof off-road vehicles he had recently purchased.

These vehicles were all bought and delivered to Huangjinzhou recently when they were transporting supplies.

In order to manage these materials, Lin Ze also arranged for Zhao Wenrou to open a branch base in Huangjinzhou and arranged some employees to manage the materials here.

Zhang Hai led the way with his personal escorts, while Lin Ze followed with his own security guards. The two heavily armed convoys drove along the cement road and finally entered Yulin City.

Lin Ze's manor has not yet been repaired, and it is expected to take another two months to complete.

So this time, Lin Ze still temporarily settled in Zhang Hai's home.

During the banquet, Lin Ze and Zhang Hai talked about things while eating.

Zhang Hai ate a shrimp and said with a smile: "Aze, the supplies you have provided in recent times have been very timely. The recruitment of personnel on my side has gone very smoothly. Five thousand people have been recruited now, and they are currently receiving basic military training."

Training."

"Currently, the expenses of these five thousand people are divided into these parts. The first part is salary. For the time being, leaving aside the core of my subordinates who serve as officers, the salary of these ordinary soldiers is about five hundred yuan each.

People."

"Besides that, there are weapons and equipment. An automatic rifle costs 500 yuan. Each person is equipped with 100 rounds of ammunition, which costs 60 yuan. Then there are logistics supplies, food, clothing, shelter, etc., which takes about a month.

It costs five hundred yuan."

"The total investment for an ordinary soldier is 1,560 yuan, and the total investment for five thousand people is about 7.8 million."

"Right now, these soldiers are still undergoing physical training and cannot use up too many bullets. Considering the cost of subsequent live ammunition shooting, the maintenance cost will be 1,100 yuan per month in the future. The total budget is about 5.5 million yuan, including officers in one year.

and other expenses can be settled within 80 million."

Huh?

Hearing Zhang Hai's offer, a question mark appeared on Lin Ze's head.

He had planned to give Zhang Hai an annual budget of 70 to 80 million to build this army, but this brother actually managed it with 80 million.

"Can such a small amount of money make the locals risk their lives?"

Lin Ze said in surprise.

He was not surprised that an automatic rifle only cost five hundred yuan. The production cost of this thing was not high in the first place, it only cost two to three hundred yuan.

As an arms distributor, Zhang Hai can get the goods at cost price, but it cost him 500 yuan to get it. It is estimated that the extra money was lost in freight.

"In a place where you are just hovering near the subsistence line, and if you get sick, you just resign yourself to fate. Isn't our treatment the level of a golden rice bowl?"

"If there weren't many locals, I wouldn't trust them. Our treatment would be enough to raise an army of 100,000 people in a minute."

Zhang Hai was also surprised.

For many locals in Huanghuangzhou, even if they risk their lives, they may not be able to eat enough. The treatment given by Zhang Hai is already very high.

"Okay, I overestimated."

Lin Ze was speechless.

He had imagined the living standards of the locals in Golden Continent as low as possible. He felt that no matter how bad their lives were, they would not risk their lives for a little money. After all, there were gold mines here, people from home and abroad were constantly coming and going, and prices were economical.

It should be partly integrated with the outside world.

But now the reality tells him that what he sees is only superficial, and more people are still struggling to eat.

The income level here is completely in line with a farming society.

"But this is temporary. As we continue to develop gold mines, operate and build this site, people's living standards will rise, and the cost of employment will gradually increase. By then, the cost will have increased at least four to five times.

."

"But we won't have to think about this for at least ten years. For the time being, we can still use this low cost to maintain the army and protect our gold mines."

Zhang Haidao.

"You can't expect others to sacrifice their lives for you all the time just for a bite to eat."

Lin Ze nodded in agreement.

------------------

But at this time, a brand new idea and inspiration came to Lin Ze's mind.
