Soon after the Longshan Chamber of Commerce’s viewing ceremony, orders started pouring in!
The troubles of happiness swarmed up, and Song Ziyu found that he was in greater trouble than he had imagined.
The first is the size of the order.
When all the settlements expressed their needs to him, Song Ziyu discovered on the spot that he had overestimated his carrying capacity.
After all, there is only a limit to what you can bring with you once you travel through time, and it is impossible to satisfy the massive orders.
This is just the first problem of my own miscalculation.
As for the second question, it’s even more troublesome!
I completely ignored the cycles and risks of trade.
Among the several large settlements, except for the Baishi settlement and Longshan, which are only a few dozen kilometers away in a straight line, the other settlements are almost hundreds of kilometers away.
Such a long distance, coupled with the fact that there are so many places in different directions, how to arrange for people to deliver goods has become a big problem.
Outdoor escorting is no joke!
There are countless dangers along the way, zombies and monsters wandering in the desert, which can kill you in minutes... People without a few brushes simply don't dare to wander in the wilderness far away from the settlements.
To this end, the settlement spent a lot of money to build a trading fleet with dozens of people.
These people are the elites of Longshan, with very strong combat effectiveness and rich experience in wild survival. Only these people can ensure a sufficient survival rate in the wild.
But for such an experienced team, it would theoretically take at least more than a month to complete a lap of Tuo Di!
Moreover, during this period, the convoy also consumed a lot of food and fuel, as well as unpredictable casualties...
After all these calculations, trade is really not an easy task.
How careless!
Fortunately, Song Ziyu is stable, he can afford the manpower and material resources, he also has time, and some patience.
Song Ziyu firmly believes that everything is difficult at the beginning, but it will definitely get better and better in the future!
However!
As the saying goes, good fortune never comes alone, and misfortune never comes alone.
After finally getting the trade caravan organized and set off, something happened again in the Longshan settlement.
If other difficulties can be overcome by customers, then the situation in Longshan leaves Song Ziyu powerless.
Because the dilemma is...the settlement doesn't have enough gold to pay for its own goods.
This is such a sad thing.
Song Ziyu should have expected it, but he naively ignored it.
Longshan settlement is just a small town with only a few thousand people.
The gold reserves of such a small town are not large. After Song Ziyu swept away almost all the gold, how to pay for the principal and profit of purchasing supplies became a problem.
The trading team of the Longshan Chamber of Commerce needs time to exchange goods for gold, which is a long cycle. However, all the local gold in Longshan Settlement has gone into their own pockets, and Longshan Settlement has lost its purchasing power.
What to do?
Is it like announcing that the owners of unfinished buildings will cut off their mortgage payments?
Directly cut off the supply of Longshan settlement?
Song Ziyu really meant this.
The blood of capitalists is also blood, comrades.
The Big Three couldn't sit still, so they found Song Ziyu and began to persuade Song Ziyu to accept some other things.
"Xiao Song, the settlement can no longer produce more gold to pay for goods. Do you think this is okay? There are five thousand acres of wasteland outside the settlement. We have made the decision to assign this land to you as your private property. Just offset the goods supplied before?" Ma Senming expressed his thoughts.
Tian Yue also said: "In addition, we are willing to convert the last batch of sugar and soybean oil orders into five stores to offset your account."
Song Ziyu carefully weighed the pros and cons and felt that he could not refuse this proposal.
I don’t have the capital to refuse.
He still has to rely on Longshan's manpower to carry out trade.
Without the protection of the Big Three, you will lose all your foundation.
He had no choice but to accept the land and shop with tears.
What makes Song Ziyu even more sad is that there is no more money to be squeezed in the settlement of Longshan, and the people have become poor because... his legs are lame.
After completing the settlement with the giants, Song Ziyu angrily took Xu Yingnan to inspect his land.
When he heard that Song Ziyu had exchanged supplies for five thousand acres of wasteland, Xu Yingnan laughed like a pig.
"Song Ziyu, you are such an idiot, you were deceived by them." Xu Yingnan said with a smile.
Song Ziyu completely lost his temper...
The wasteland is located in the south of the city. It is barren and desolate, with nothing but sparse weeds.
Song Ziyu inspected it and found that there were many hungry people from settlements wandering around in the wasteland. Driven by hunger, these hungry people tried to find something edible.
"Why aren't these lands used for farming?" Song Ziyu asked.
Xu Yingnan replied: "You are such an idiot. These lands are polluted and there is no way to grow food. Otherwise, how could the settlement be so poor!"
Song Ziyu leaned down and grabbed a handful of soil and squeezed it in his hands, thinking to himself, this is my land.
"It's not a solution to waste it like this. It has to be utilized." Song Ziyu said to himself.
"Give up. Except for the growth of bitter grass, no other vegetation can survive on this land." Xu Yingnan said.
"Why is this happening? What happened?" Song Ziyu asked.
"How do I know... almost everyone is asking this question, but no one has an answer." Xu Yingnan sighed.
At this time, Song Ziyu found a scrawny old man rummaging around on the ground not far away for something.
Song Ziyu walked over and found that this was an old man who was common in settlements. He was short and stooped, and he no longer had much mobility.
The old man uprooted the few weeds with difficulty, and then groped for their roots.
Soon, several stems similar to small potatoes appeared in the old man's hands.
"What is this?" Song Ziyu became curious.
Xu Yingnan rolled his eyes and said, "The rhizomes of these bitter herbs are edible, but they taste terrible... The hungry people in the settlements all survive by eating this kind of food."
While Xu Yingnan was talking, the old man raised his cloudy eyes and looked at Song Ziyu, and said fearfully: "Don't steal my food... I still have grandchildren at home who need to be fed."
Song Ziyu felt distressed and couldn't help but take out a bag of compressed biscuits from her bag and handed it to the old man.
After doing this, Song Ziyu turned and left.
Seventy percent of the population in this settlement is below the food and clothing line. This cannot be saved by relying on divergence alone.
I can't help them.
My abilities are too limited...
Song Ziyu has been asking himself why he can't accept integrating here. The reason is because of all the things he has seen and heard here, which makes him unable to bear the weight!
This land is suffering!
People here are suffering a lot!
While he was thinking wildly, a scream came from behind him.
Song Ziyu suddenly looked back, only to see that the old man had been knocked to the ground by other scavengers. These scavengers had snatched away the biscuits he had given him and the roots that the old man had collected, and were now running wildly.
"Everyone, stop!" Song Ziyu was very angry.
But Snatcher ran faster.
"Forget it, your kindness even harmed him!" Xu Yingnan pointed at the old man's body on the ground and sighed: "Give up, you can't change anything."
Song Ziyu felt extremely frustrated.
Returning to the town, Song Ziyu went to the outer city to look at the shops he had purchased.
Now he has eight shops in the entire settlement, but these shops are basically idle.
Outside the closed shops, there were hungry and bloated residents everywhere. Song Ziyu suddenly realized a problem.
I have been here for more than a month. Although I have brought a lot of various supplies, I have not been of any help to the lives of ordinary people in this settlement.
Their lives have not improved at all with the arrival of these supplies.
Because they have no money themselves, they cannot afford to buy the things they bring.
Suddenly, Song Ziyu felt weak. He had been taking blood shots and suddenly felt tired.
That's all, I found a corner and Song Ziyu activated the bracelet, traveling back to the civilized world.
…
The end of August is the tail of Leo.
After days of rain dispelled the heat, Song Ziyu checked out the apartment, returned home and hugged his mother and sister goodbye.
After walking into the high-speed rail station with a box of clothes, Song Ziyu took the ticket to Nandu and boarded the waiting train.
Looking at the reflection whizzing by, Song Ziyu knew that her college career was about to begin.
Han'an is only more than 300 kilometers away from Nandu, the provincial capital. The D train can reach the provincial capital in less than two hours.
Song Ziyu sat in a daze in his seat, with endless hills and fields passing before his eyes. The lush green made people feel full of vitality.
Suddenly, a huge advertising wall came into view: returning forests to farming will benefit the country and the people.
Song Ziyu's eyes sparkled.
