Except for Xiao Zishan, none of them had ever engaged in cross-travel trade activities. Seeing that this "Crystal Xia Jade Mirror" was obviously just a goose egg mirror with a plastic frame from Wenzhou sold in piles in the small commodity market, with the best quality. It’s only ten yuan a side. ． It actually sold for one hundred and fifty taels here!
It was the first time that Guo Yi and others saw so much money being spent on a glass mirror. They were so shocked that they opened their mouths and stared, and couldn't help but shake their heads. I couldn't accept it for a while. Xiao Zishan whispered: "How is it? You are confident. Guangzhou is no different from other areas. It is the richest city in East Asia in this time and space."
Yan Maoda nodded and said with emotion: "I didn't expect that Guangzhou would be so prosperous in this era. I have confidence in opening a jewelry company here."
The clerk here came to greet him. Yan Maoda wanted to get a feel for the market, so he asked him to bring out the pearls - the time traveler brought a large amount of freshwater cultured pearls from another time and space - the clerk took out several plates of pearls from the cabinet. The largest one was about The smallest ones are as big as pomegranate seeds, most are very round, and some are long and oval. Even if the light in the room is limited, you can still feel the sheen of pearls on the plate.
They are small, each one costs one or twenty taels, and the largest one actually costs four thousand taels. Yan Maoda had learned a little about the history of pearls in the jewelry industry in the past. He knew that pearls had been valued very highly by all dynasties in the past, and that these were natural pearls, which were very rare. However, a large pearl could sell for four thousand taels, and he couldn't help but be shocked.
But the most peculiar thing among them was a plate of slightly elongated purple pearls. Yan Maoda looked at them carefully for a long time. The clerk said that they were from the West. Because the color was rare, such a big one would cost two hundred taels apiece.
After going out, I walked into the alley next to me, where there were slightly fewer people. Yan Maoda said: "We can make a lot of money just by selling those 100 kilograms of freshwater pearls."
"It doesn't seem as good-looking as it is." Lu Rong said.
Yan Maoda said, "The pearl color is indeed not as good as it. But it's not a big deal. The problem is that plate of purple pearls. These are seawater pearls from Australia. I really didn't expect that there would be them in Guangzhou."
"Maybe it was picked from there, right? It's not too difficult to get to Australia from Southeast Asia."
"Probably. This means that someone has been to Australia, at least to its offshore islands."
“It’s actually not bad to drive to Australia…”
Talking and laughing along the way, and looking at the scenery. Lu Rong was very interested in street snacks, but he was afraid of problems after eating them, so he had to hold back his saliva all the way. The street scene in front gradually became deserted, and wasteland was exposed from time to time on the roadside, but there were still voices of people. Liu Gang stopped and said: "There is an individual market in front of us. There is nothing interesting to see. It is just a scene of people separated from each other. It is very miserable. Let's go somewhere else."
Xiao Zishan hesitated for a moment. Before coming to Guangzhou, the executive committee had privately discussed the matter of purchasing people. The local labor force in Lingao was limited, and it was necessary to add some immigrants from the outside. But the current problem is not this, but the "physiological needs" that many time travelers have gradually exposed.
This issue of physiological needs is originally a matter of diet and men's diet, which is human nature. For a long time after D-Day, everyone had a heavy workload every day, and they were also nervously prepared for possible attacks. They were exhausted physically and mentally, so naturally no one made such a fuss. The situation has gradually stabilized these days. There is more free time, but there is a lack of recreational activities. Most of the more than 500 people are young men in their prime, and they will inevitably indulge in the thoughts of men and women. The problem is that there are only a dozen or so wives and girlfriends, and most people rely on watching AV to relieve themselves. AV is not so much a source of ejaculation as it is more likely to add fuel to the fire. Therefore, in a situation where the social situation is in good condition, some disharmonious things inevitably occur: things such as peeking at girls bathing, secretly taking photos and taking out the light, etc. happen frequently. The most serious incident was that someone attempted to rape Salina at night - of course they seriously underestimated the strength of this ATF Ocean Horse agent. Salina was not harmed except for being slightly frightened, but three attempts One of the perpetrators ended up in the hospital.
Ran Yao quickly found out the prisoner. The matter was covered up for the sake of maintaining stability. The three offenders were sent to work at the Bopu camp from a distance to avoid being seen by Salina and causing a conflict.
The matter was settled, but the Executive Committee also saw signs of danger from this matter. There is more than just Salina in the camp, but there are very few single women. In other words, it is impossible for the time-traveling group itself to solve the needs of men and women for interaction. If this continues, if another rape incident occurs or there is an issue of adultery, the executive committee will not only have to face a crying woman, but also a violent cuckold husband. How to deal with it? What will be the result after processing? These are things they dare not imagine.
What if someone had a little bit of consciousness - just like the three people in the Salina incident, who finally knew that homosexual wives were not to be touched, and instead went to the surrounding villages to rape women? Rape is the most hated thing by the common people. In order to win over the people, from the era of the Red Army to the People's Liberation Army, raped women were shot. They have to shoot the rapist too? It seems to go against the purpose of the Executive Committee that "all people are equal, and some people are more equal than others."
Even if you don't commit rape, go to prostitutes - not to mention whether there are brothels in Lingao County, it would be troublesome if you contracted a sexually transmitted disease in a brothel - it was the 17th and 18th centuries when syphilis was introduced on a large scale to the coastal areas of China era. If the patient is really unlucky, the health team will have to waste the already limited penicillin on treatment.
All in all, if physiological problems are not solved, the hidden dangers are huge!
Of course, some people have proposed solutions. For example, Xiao Zishan proposed giving priority to the construction of cultural and sports facilities, showing movies every night, organizing sports competitions, etc. However, this was a measure to stop the boiling water and had limited effect. So some people came up with a bolder idea: setting up a brothel and implementing strict hygiene measures to prevent the spread of sexually transmitted diseases. The executive committee will give you a "Happy Voucher" once a month, but other expenses will be paid by yourself.
This proposal is obviously the most efficient in solving the problem, but most people in the executive committee still can't get over this face - how can such an ignorant, backward and cruel thing like a brothel be opened by civilized people like them in the 21st century! As for the measure of giving coupons, they find it intolerable. (Note: It seems that many cities in Germany have issued free coupons in the past two years. It’s great, the German people are happy enough.
After secret consultation and soliciting some opinions, the Executive Committee decided without further delay to buy some women from the mainland as soon as possible and assign them to single young men in the name of "maids". Of course, in name only they would take care of the housework. , in fact, you can do whatever you want.
However, this decision was opposed by some people, including Xiao Zishan. The reason is simple: he is in charge of internal affairs. If such measures as a wife in disguise are taken, the current collective dormitory system will be ruined - young men with such a "maid" will definitely no longer be willing to have sex with anyone else. Shared a room. This meant he had to expand his home.
After several nights of discussions, arguments and hearings, the "maid" plan was finally passed, and Xiao Zishan had one more task on his trip to Guangzhou: buying women.
What sounds like a very exciting task is actually not easy to handle. As usual, people are required to find specialized human teeth for human trafficking, but the goods in their hands are expensive. He asked Gao Ji about it: a girl of twelve or thirteen years old with average appearance is worth seven or eight taels. If she looks good, , and he is smart and smart, and he will cost twenty taels at least. Of course, there are better things: girls like those in Yangzhou who raise thin horses, there is no end to it, as little as seven or eight taels, and as much as hundreds of taels.
Moreover, people often control the "source of goods". Girls who are fleeing famine in other places or are poor and have no one to sell themselves will most likely fall into the hands of these people. It is difficult for outsiders to get involved, unless there is a large-scale famine and a large influx of refugees. You can buy it directly only by purchasing.
Now I heard Liu Gang say that there is a market in front of me, so I thought I might as well take a look. Even if you can't buy a suitable woman, you can still buy some children. Wu Nanhai specifically mentioned that cultivating talents for travelers themselves should start from children. Only in this way can they completely transform their worldview and instill new knowledge and concepts into them.
"Go and have a look. I want to buy some for my family." Xiao Zishan said and walked forward again.
Of course, this is not actually a professional population market. In fact, it is just a large wasteland where refugees from various places have gathered. There is a small collapsed temple on the wasteland and even a few graves. There are huts erected everywhere. Refugees who fled from Guangdong, Guangxi and even Jiangxi and Fujian were sitting or lying with sluggish faces like living ghosts. Some were moving slowly with begging sticks, and some were cooking without knowing where to get food. The leftovers that came had a rancid smell like swill... it was smoky, exuding a strange smell that was not moldy but not moldy, and burnt but not burnt. Against the collapsed temple wall, there were rows of upright corpses, all covered with rotten straw mats, with only pairs of dry and chapped feet exposed. There are still some ashes of paper money... If they go back three or four months ago, this scene alone would shock them, but now they are used to death being a common occurrence in this time and space.
The place was supported by local people, and there was also a soup kitchen. Finally, we could see some relief from the local government. However, there are also some well-dressed people coming and going - all here to buy people.
