The fortune teller who set up a stall became the first strategist of the Republic of China

Gao Qingqiu shouted:

Everyone, please squat down quickly and don’t get bitten by this bat. This bat may have a deadly virus.

So everyone squatted down.

These bats flew for about seven or eight minutes, and there were probably millions of them.

These bats flew out of this cave, and no one knew where they went.

Gao Qingqiu said to the captain,

Continue burning and burn all the germs in this hole.

At this time, a team member stepped forward and said:

Captain, I was just bitten by a bat. Is it serious?

The captain said,

Go find Isatis root quickly.

Isatis root can fight that kind of bacteria.

As a result, the team member hurried to look for Isatis root.

Not far away, we found a lot of wild isatis root.

He used a shovel to dig up the isatis root.

Brought some back.

He found an iron pot.

Boil water in an iron pot,

The water is ready, and it tastes very bitter.

However, in order to save his life, he had no choice but to drink it.

Gao Qingqiu also drank some water, which was also very bitter.

After he drank some water, he asked others to drink the isatis root water as well.

However, there is too little isatis root in this iron pot.

Gao Qingqiu added some water and some isatis root.

Make these potions a little thicker.

Xiaoyu also drank a little.

The others drank a little as well.

Gao Qingqiu was worried that something might happen, so he said to the captain:

You will be here for a few days, so you should boil some Isatis root to drink.

Because these bats fly away, but the bacteria they leave behind may not disappear quickly.

Captain said:

I know this.

Gao Qingqiu said:

You must clear out all the rubble and other debris from the cave within 15 days.

And the entrance of the hole needs to be blown up, so it should be at least twice as big as it is now.

The captain said,

it is good.

Then Gao Qingqiu took Xiaoyu away.

He returned home.

At this time, he found that there were two guests in the house, one was Mr. Wang and the other was Miss Wang.

Gao Qingqiu said,

You don’t come here for no reason. Tell me, what’s the matter today?

Mr. Wang said anxiously,

This morning, the Commander-in-Chief and Marshal Sun signed a law together.

That is to say, starting from next month, the ocean will no longer be used in the Yunjian City area.

All of them were replaced with a new banknote issued by Marshal Sun.

It is called legal tender, which means legal currency.

Gao Qingqiu said,

So what?

Mr. Wang smacked his thigh and said,

If this decree comes into effect, what we hold in our hands is not money but a piece of paper.

This paper can easily be over-issued by the government.

When the time comes, more of these banknotes will be printed.

If too much of this paper is printed, it will depreciate.

For example, 10 yuan can buy three kilograms of rice now.

When there are more banknotes, 10 yuan can only buy one kilogram of rice.

Gao Qingqiu said:

So let's take this opportunity to convert all this money into gold.

Mr. Wang said:

I only have tens of thousands of dollars in my hand now.

Anyway, I'm going to buy some gold and keep it in my hands.

If you need money, just take it out and exchange it.

Because if I don’t exchange it for gold, the money I have will become useless after a few months.

You also know that we businessmen can't stand the turmoil.

Gao Qingqiu said:

I know this.

Gao Qingqiu made an analysis and said:

Anyway, I still have a lot of money.

I can lend you 50 yuan.

You can buy some things.

Mr. Wang said quickly:

The money is too much for me to accept.

Gao Qingqiu said:

If you don't dare to accept it, then I will use one million dollars to buy gold, silver, wheat, cotton, cloth and other things.

As long as I buy these things, I am not afraid of currency devaluation.

Because in troubled times, having material things in hand is better than anything else, and material things are hard currency.

By then, no one in society wants those legal tenders, and I can take out the supplies and exchange them with others.

Ms. Wang said:

I didn’t expect that you have such a clear understanding of this market.

Gao Qingqiu said:

It’s not that I can see through everything, but I often think about what is valuable and what is not.

Since the orders of the Grand Commander and Marshal Sun cannot be changed, let's just go with the flow.

Miss Wang said to Mr. Wang:

We still have tens of thousands of dollars at home. We can take them all out and buy some cloth and keep them in our hands.

Either buy cloth or buy cotton.

If a war breaks out, the army will need a lot of uniforms and quilts.

At that time, if we had goods in hand, we could sell them to Marshal Sun and make some money, or we could sell them to other people and make money.

Mr. Wang said:

That’s fine, but we can’t take so much. We can only take out 1 yuan to buy these goods.

You also need to keep 10,000 to 20,000 yuan for business turnover.

Gao Qingqiu said:

Your flour mill should buy more wheat now.

Once the legal tender is issued, I estimate that the paper currency will definitely depreciate.

Because ordinary people still believe in the dollar and do not have that much trust in paper currency.

Mr. Wang said:

My flour mill also needs to buy more wheat.

Let's split up and act quickly.

After Mr. Wang and Miss Wang left, Gao Qingqiu called the Gao family over.

He told the executives:

Take out all the money you earned from selling rice last time and go to the bank to buy gold.

If you can't buy gold, buy silver.

You are responsible for buying such things.

If you still need money, just tell me and I will give you the round token. With the token, you can withdraw money from the bank and buy more silver or gold.

The butler nodded and walked outside.

Gao Qingqiu decided to go and take a look at the three things: wheat, cotton, and cloth.

He also wanted to purchase some and put them away.

He went out.

At this time, Xiaoyu also caught up.

Xiaoyu said:

I'll go out with you, I'll stay at home, there's nothing to do.

Gao Qingqiu said:

You want to go out, okay? Let's go out together.

So they went looking for supplies together.

Gao Qingqiu found a wheat merchant in Yunjian City.

The wheat merchant said:

Do you want to buy wheat? There are 500 tons of wheat in the warehouse. Marshal Sun has already reserved it.

Gao Qingqiu said:

Did you give cash or write an IOU?

The wheat merchant said:

Where would Marshal Sun have the cash to give me? He wrote an IOU, saying he would pay us in six months.

Gao Qingqiu sneered:

Marshal Sun has no money in his hands. He wrote an IOU just to cheat you.

Even after 10 years, it is impossible to get the money.

The wheat merchant said:

Don't be so arrogant. Is Marshal Sun a poor man? He has plenty of money.

You said Marshal Sun has no money, so do you have money?

If you give me cash now, I can sell you all the wheat.

Gao Qingqiu said:

Even if I had cash, would you dare sell all this wheat to me? Aren't you afraid that Marshal Sun will cause trouble for you?

The wheat merchant said:

I sold the wheat and went abroad with my son.

By then, I'm gone and I won't care whether it's Marshal Sun or not.

Gao Qingqiu said:

Okay, since you said so, then I will go with you to withdraw the money.

The wheat merchant said:

Together it’s 8 yuan.

If you give me money now, I will transfer all this wheat to you.

I'll get the money sooner and take my kids abroad sooner.

Gao Qingqiu said:

Okay, let’s go to the bank to withdraw money.

Gao Qingqiu and Xiaoyu took the wheat merchant to the bank.

Gao Qingqiu took out the round token and withdrew the money.

Moved to the wheat merchant's car.

The three of them came to the warehouse again.

Then, the wheat merchant took out a note and handed it to Gao Qingqiu.

他 说:

You can tear up this note. Now all the wheat has been sold to you.

If Marshal Sun causes you trouble, I can't do anything about it.

Gao Qingqiu said:

You can go with peace of mind.

Suddenly, Gao Qingqiu stopped him, and the wheat merchant said:

You have received so much money, so you should write a receipt after all.

The wheat merchant hesitated for a moment and said:

Okay, I'll write a receipt.

The wheat merchant wrote a long receipt and signed his name.

Gao Qingqiu took the note and put it in his briefcase.

At this time, the wheat merchant left.

Gao Qingqiu took the key given by the wheat merchant and opened the warehouse door to take a look.

He found that there was a lot of wheat inside and the quality was very good.

He was very happy.

But how do I explain this to Marshal Sun?

He decided to go there himself.

He drove to Marshal Sun.

It just so happened that the adjutant was standing at the door.

Gao Qingqiu told the adjutant about the situation.

The adjutant said:

Mr. Gao, if you want to buy this wheat, then go ahead and buy it.

I told Marshal Sun to go somewhere else and take a look.

Gao Qingqiu said:

I bought this wheat from a wheat merchant, but if Marshal Sun encounters difficulties in the future and asks me to borrow some, or asks me to give it to him directly, I can do it.

The adjutant said:

That's not good.

Gao Qingqiu said:

There's nothing wrong with that. I'm very happy to be able to help Marshal Sun.

After saying that, Gao Qingqiu waved goodbye to his adjutant.

Xiaoyu said:

Mr. Gao, you bought so many supplies, what if the war doesn't break out?

Wouldn't it be a loss if you kept those supplies in your hands?

What should Gao Qingqiu say to Xiaoyu?

Because he himself is a time traveler, he has studied history.

He knew that war had broken out in the country during these two years.
