According to the monetary system of the Tang Dynasty, ten thousand taels of copper coins were equivalent to ten thousand taels of silver, and ten thousand taels of silver could be exchanged for one thousand taels of gold.

Of course, if ordinary people engage in this kind of currency exchange, they still have to pay a certain handling fee and a price difference in quality. But for Wu Chengen, who had just made a big profit, he would naturally not be so stingy and care about such a little thing.

So he directly ordered the housekeeper who came with him and had been guarding outside to take care of the matter. Not long after, Li Anran saw that it should be similar to the manpower of the nursing home, and took a thousand taels of the best quality.

Red gold pancakes were delivered to me.

Twelve pieces of red gold cake worth a hundred yuan each, packed neatly in a fine mahogany box. Even if Li Anran didn't understand this aspect, he could tell that the gold was of good quality.

Calculated based on the weights and measures of the Tang Dynasty, one tael was about forty grams in later generations, and one thousand taels was equivalent to 40,000 grams of gold.

Based on the current price of gold in modern time and space, and the fact that this batch of gold has no legal origin, even if it is calculated as a minimum of 200 yuan per gram, it can be sold for a total price of 8 million.

With this money, Li Anran has the capital to develop in modern time and space.

However, this amount of money seems to be a lot, but it is far from enough for Li Anran, who can travel through two time and space and prepares to develop mainly in the Tang Dynasty.

So after checking the gold, Li Anran said again: "Shopkeeper Wu, there is one more thing I hope you can help with."

"What's the matter? It's okay for me to tell you."

Wu Chengen, who quickly recovered from the shock of the magic weapon before and quickly made a decision in his mind, would not be stupid enough to miss this kind of relationship-building opportunity that came to his door.

"In addition to this gold, I also need some jade, the best jade."

Li Anran, who knew that telling too many lies would make a mistake, and that a lie requires more lies, did not explain why he needed it, but simply made a new request.

"Jade? The best jade?" Wu Cheng'en was stunned for a moment and said to himself.

Just when Wu Cheng'en was about to agree, he heard a servant outside the house announcing that shopkeeper Zheng from Tongfuji wanted to see him.

"This evil guest has come at the wrong time!" Wu Cheng'en, whose face turned dark, continued to curse, but he could not turn the person away, so he had to ask his servants to invite the person in.

Seeing that it was a foregone conclusion that the guy named Zheng came to take advantage of him again, Wu Chengen changed his mind and said before the person came in:

"To be honest, I'm not very good at Yushi. Shopkeeper Zheng just happened to be here. He is an expert in this way. Why don't you leave this matter to him?"

"Oh? It seems that the relationship between Shopkeeper Wu and Shopkeeper Zheng is really close. In that case, it's just like what Shopkeeper Wu said." Li Anran, knowing that the other party was trying to be a favor, suppressed a smile and teased.

"Yes, the relationship between Mr. and Mrs. Zheng is very close." Wu Chengen, who didn't see anything unusual on his face, was still smiling, but he felt as if he had eaten a fly in his heart.

Soon, the elegant and majestic shopkeeper Zheng Chenggong and Zheng Da walked in. Looking at the other party's Yushu Linfeng posture, Li Anran always felt that something was missing.

"I heard that the real person has settled in this county, and I came here to congratulate you." Zheng Chenggong said politely after saluting with an impeccable gesture.

"Thank you, Shopkeeper Zheng. It just so happens that I just asked you for something. Shopkeeper Wu also recommended you to me. I wonder if you can..." Li Anran, who was originally sitting on his knees, stood up and returned the salute and said with a smile.

"It doesn't matter if you say it, real person." Zheng Chenggong glanced at a certain fat man who was holding a tea cup and slurping away. Zheng Chenggong didn't mean to shirk at all.

"I want to buy some jade, top-quality jade. I wonder if shopkeeper Zheng can help me?" Li Anran said with a smile, ignoring the eye contact between the two people.

"The real person wants to buy jade, so I should obey, but I don't know what the real person wants?" Zheng Chenggong, who heard that it was just a matter, readily agreed.

"I need two kinds of jade, one is mutton-fat white jade, and the other is jadeite, which is jadeite with a green and transparent color. Both of them only require jade materials."

After figuring out that selling gold to raise funds was no longer possible, Li Anran thought about what channels to use to solve this problem.

There are many items from the Tang Dynasty that are extremely valuable in modern time and space, such as antiques from older dynasties, as well as ginseng and other tonics.

What's more, if you can get a few square meters of extremely expensive wood like golden nanmu and change hands, you can make much more money than selling the one thousand taels of gold.

But from the perspective of source and sales safety, jade is the best choice. Especially jade, stone gambling is popular in modern time and space, which is why Li Anran wants jade materials instead of finished products.

It's just that jadeite like jadeite really became popular in history during the Qing Dynasty. Although it can't be said that it didn't exist in the Tang Dynasty, its fame and value are far less than those of mutton-fat white jade.

Of course, in modern time and space, with the same weight and grade, regardless of artificial hype factors, the value of sheep finger white jade is higher than that of jadeite.

Li Anran was worried that Zheng Chenggong didn't know what jade was at first, but he didn't expect that after hearing this, the other party just made some inquiries about the specific price range, and then wrote a letter to Wu Chengen's men to send it back to his home.

I don’t know if it was because he had already sold the favor, so he might as well sell the favor bigger. After Zheng Chenggong asked someone to deliver the letter, Wu Chengen said with a shy face: "Sir, I wonder if the magic weapon just now can be used by someone again."

Open your eyes?"

Naturally, Li Anran would not refuse something like this that could consolidate his identity and status. At that moment, Zheng Chenggong looked slightly surprised in his eyes and took out his copycat mobile phone, changed the song to a fishing boat song and pressed the play button.

When the leisurely piano music sounded, Zheng Chenggong couldn't help but stay there because of his temperament. However, he quickly regained his composure and listened to this mysterious piano music with peace of mind, at least on the surface.

Li Anran, who originally felt that chatting with these ancient people was too tiring, was naturally happy to be quiet. In addition, the jade matter also needed some time, so after the fishing boat song was played, the Plum Blossoms Three Lanes, Liang Zhu and other guzheng songs were played.

Famous songs.

After this series of classical music was played, the old housekeeper who had been waiting outside reported that the people from Tongfuji had delivered the things.

With Li Anran's approval, several servants quickly brought in several boxes of different sizes, and two others carried a large box.

The box is filled with mutton-fat white jade materials, none of which are big in size. The largest one is only about the size of two adult fists, and the small one is only the size of a goose egg. But without exception, they are all of the best quality.

material.

As for the box that contained jadeite, it was a coincidence that Zheng Chenggong's family happened to have certain business contacts with the Pyu Kingdom, which was later known as Myanmar.

Although in this period, the value of jade was far less than that of white jade. But it was more beautiful and rich in color. In addition to green, there were also red jade, yellow jade, blue jade, etc., which were also liked by many people.

The amount of jade in that box was large, but it was much larger than the white jade in the previous boxes. According to Li Anran's visual inspection, it was at least fifty or sixty centimeters high, thirty or forty centimeters thick, and square.

A big chunk.

The most rare thing is that this piece of jadeite is completely solid green. Even without processing and polishing, you can still see its crystal clear characteristics. It is definitely considered the best.

After seeing this piece of jade material, Li Anran was satisfied and felt a little regretful. If he had known that Zheng Chenggong could easily come up with a piece of jade material, he would not have to work hard on the mutton-fat white jade.

It's a pity that the words have been spoken, and there is no reason to take them back. Facing Zheng Chenggong's inquiry, Li Anran's heart bleeds, but on the surface, he calmly accepted all the jade materials according to the order, without even paying back the price.

Fortunately, the crystal glazed wine sets, amber glazed tea cans, and those makeup mirrors were all sold at very good prices. But even so, Li Anran felt that after working hard for many years, he returned to Jiefangjin.
