Me and countless me.

Chapter 413: Dual World Merchant
"So, if I took the knowledge and didn't think about not interfering like before, but continued to interfere, would history still turn out like this? Or would it still be impossible to change because I'm not the right person, or the general trend of historical development, etc.?"

Li Ke touched his chin and kept thinking, because there were many possibilities for this matter. Maybe even if he interfered, such a result might occur. Maybe even if he did not interfere, good results would appear.

However, the latter is undoubtedly equivalent to a lottery, and although the former will consume his lifespan twice as much, it will enable him to control the development of history and thus achieve his wish of infinitely improving the science and technology in his hands through time loops.

Yes, the way Li Ke and others thought of using this ability to travel through time is to continuously popularize the technology of later generations to the Ming Dynasty. Then, after returning to the future, history will naturally change and more advanced technology will be produced. He will then bring these technologies to the Ming Dynasty, rapidly shortening the technological research and development process and continuously moving forward, achieving the possibility of moving forward with one foot on top of the other.

This is something that can only be accomplished in a world like his where one has the true ability to travel through time.

As for time paradoxes and the like...

If a time paradox really occurred, then it would have occurred when he traveled through time before, and it would have destroyed the entire timeline.

The timeline of his world is so special! It is also something that other Li Ke dare not even think about.

"So we still have to use it as a double-pass door? First change some history in a small range, and then carry out a series of promotions, gradually changing history into what I want, then..."

Li Ke couldn't help but take a look at the bag of grain he had placed aside. After thinking for a moment, he prepared to go all in.

The reason is simple. In the ancient world, the limitation of development was always food. Without sufficient food, there was no need to think about industrialization. The start of industry must be bloody and cruel, it was just a matter of size.

You know, even Americans paid with the blood of Indians!
The first time he used the history book to change history, he caused the Ming Dynasty in this world to follow the path of Britain. Even children aged seven or eight had to work in heavy industrial factories, and the whole world turned into a living purgatory.

"So we need to destroy the Ming Dynasty's food structure while using light industrial products to destroy the Ming Dynasty's commodity market. Then we need a strong management structure to unify the Ming Dynasty and continue to develop science and technology..."

Li Ke calculated the energy, time, and manpower needed to accomplish this task, and couldn't help but cover his head and wanted to immerse his head in the goldfish tank to calm down.

Because if he could accomplish this, what would be the difference between that and him directly rebelling and becoming emperor?

"What are you thinking about, honey?"

Lin Wanyu looked at the absent-minded Li Ke, put her arms around Li Ke's neck, and asked curiously.

There is a reason why she calls Li Ke dear. Ever since Li Ke knew that she was living in the world of a domestic TV drama, the first thing she thought of was to make money with the help of the plot, speculate in stocks, and then find some girls who are suitable for her future career development and aesthetic hobbies to start a family.

But what makes him helpless is that the good women are either already married and have a career when he finds them, and they are so miserable that people want to cry when they see them, or they are weird like Hakimi, with a small brain and big breath. As a result, the group of people in the sitcom that should have been the weirdest, turned out to be the most normal group of people with the background of these people.

Even the most brutal Lu Ziqiao was not as brutal as these people.

People like Huang Yimei, Andy, and Fan Shengmei, who are very similar to Zhao Linger, give people a headache just by getting in touch with them, so Li Ke only tries to get close to them and maintains a relationship as close as Guan and Bao.

And since there was a chance, Li Ke naturally chose Lin Wanyu and got together with this girl who was a little silly, but had a good personality, was very polite, sensible, and whose father was very rich and powerful!

He doesn't care whether she is pretty or not. After all, he is face-blind and is not interested in women or money.

"I'm thinking about how to become emperor."

Lin Wanyu was stunned for a moment. If it were an ordinary girl, she would definitely say that Li Ke was mentally ill, but Lin Wanyu began to think about how to help Li Ke really become the emperor.

"Well, some small countries in Africa are possible, but you have to marry their princess, so that's impossible. Hehehe..."

She looked at Li Ke with a smile, thinking that she had told a very funny joke, so she wanted to get a reward from Li Ke.

"Well said, don't say it next time."

Li Ke touched her head to express his praise, and then decided to continue according to his previous idea.

Isn't it just watching the whole process? Come on, come on!

Taking a deep breath, Li Ke quickly thought about how he should develop further.

His background in this world is not very rich, but it is not very thin either. After all, although he knows that this is a domestic drama, he has watched too few domestic dramas, and it is not the real China, so there are still many differences.

So now he only has more than 300,000 yuan and the identity of a writer. But fortunately, his girlfriend is the daughter of the Lin Group, and the main business of the Lin Group is banking.

If I buy or sell anything in the future, I will definitely not be cheated if I go to Lin’s Bank!
"Then we must first set up a foreign trade company. This way, whether it is selling silver and gold or importing grain, it will be easier to deal with it in the early stages."

Li Ke didn't think that after he developed, the noise he made would be unnoticed by the official forces. After all, he would definitely import a large number of light industrial products from China, and it would be ridiculous if these light industrial products were exported on a large scale without any information about the buyers.

"But there's no need to worry. After all, history follows me."

But Li Ke opened his phone and searched for the prices in the Ming Dynasty. After thinking for a while, Li Ke took action.

"Oh my god, Xiao Li, no, Brother Li, where did you get this?"

Shopkeeper Qian sat in the Tongfu Inn, looking at the glass balls, mirrors, sugar, and matches on the table, with a smile on his face that almost blossomed into a flower. The reason he smiled was naturally because Li Ke was going to sell these things to him, but the happiest reason for his smile was because Li Ke wanted to exchange silver for gold from him!

The current exchange rate of gold and silver outside is 1 to 6, but this Xiao Li allows himself to take a % commission, which makes him feel even happier about this mysterious Xiao Li.

But although he was happy, he still asked in a low voice.

"Isn't this some dirty silver?"

He was indeed a little worried about this matter, especially when he touched the neat silver bars in his sleeves, he became more worried.

After all, it's rare to find a place these days where silver can be made into such a neat shape!

"You can wait a while before trading silver with me. See if there are any silver vaults that have been robbed recently. Besides, do you think I really have no money coming from overseas? I just lack a local household registration. If Shopkeeper Qian can help me solve my household registration problem, it won't be difficult to give all the goods to Shopkeeper Qian this time."

Li Ke put down the tea bowl in his hand and looked at Shopkeeper Qian casually, showing his magnanimity.

After all, all these things only add up to a few hundred dollars, and that silver bar is just a little more expensive. But if he can really get in touch with Shopkeeper Qian, then he can make a lot of money!

The reason is very simple, the gold-silver price ratio on modern Earth is 1 to 89, while the gold-silver price ratio in this era is 1 to 5 to 1 to 6. Even if he has to give commission to Qian Zhanggui and others, he can still make unimaginable money!
Moreover, the impact on history is relatively small, allowing one to easily grasp it.

As for why he brought matches instead of something like a lighter, it was of course because of the level of acceptance. No matter how bad a lighter was, in the eyes of people of this era, it was considered a good thing with top-quality soft glass packaging and hidden mechanisms. If he wanted to circulate it and occupy the market, his early shipments would most likely be collected by aristocratic families. It was really not as convenient as matches.

Not only that, matches are gone after they are burned, and basically leave no traces in history, unlike lighters, which will seriously interfere with history and cause trouble in the early stages of its development, causing the same water meter checking incident as the watch last time.

The other thing is——

The match factory was really cheap! And if the production line disappeared, it would disappear. No one would care. Besides, the technical content was not very high. He could easily move it to Daming and train some junior workers!
"That's easy, that's easy. When you go to the county government to apply for household registration, just say that you are my ancestor who went to sea to do business and came back to recognize your ancestors. I will also prepare an excuse for you, but don't mind it. After all, my ancestor was already out of the fifth degree of mourning when he went to sea, so we can't be relatives."

To Shopkeeper Qian, this matter was not a big deal. It was just a household registration issue. Li Ke could easily get the household registration by going to the government and finding someone to help him. There were so many refugees these days. Who would care about this?

For example, a few years ago, there was a severe drought, and several villages were starved to death. The refugees even burned down the county government office, and their household registration files were all gone. Didn’t those refugees have to register again in the end? Who would care who was whose family before?

Li Ke gave so much money and goods, buying a household registration is really a small problem. Just be careful, wait a little longer to see the situation, and then get this person named Li Ke out of your five mournings.

"But it will take some time to re-register your household registration. You can just stay at Tongfu Inn for the time being. I will arrange everything else."

After saying that, Shopkeeper Qian packed up all the things Li Ke had given him, and then made a gesture of invitation.

"Come on, dear brother. I'm the host today. Please have a drink!"

At this point, Shopkeeper Qian showed a helpless expression on his face.

"But I did neglect you this time. After all, the cooking skills of the chef in Tongfu Inn are really average. Once your household registration is completed, I will treat you to a good meal at Shibalipu!"

With that, Shopkeeper Qian walked outside, but Li Ke didn't care at all, because no matter how good the chef was at this moment, what could it matter?

Li Ke only needs a spoonful of MSG to perfectly defeat the broth that has been simmered for several days. After all, the delicious taste is simply that thing. In modern times, expensive food is basically not sold at a high price by relying on taste, but by selling status and concepts.

"Nothing, I just happen to have a secret spice business that I can do with you, brother. And the cooking skills of this chef are just average, so I'll just show you the power of my spice!"

Li Ke smiled as he held a bottle of MSG in his arms. This was what he had been waiting for. Things like matches were for the common people and were mainly used to lay the foundation for industrial workers, while gold and silver were mainly used to please his father-in-law in the future Earth and let his father-in-law know that his son-in-law was really capable and loved his daughter.

As for things like MSG and sugar, they were of course sold to the upper class. They were used to exchange for the cooperation of local forces, and to set up factories in this Daimyo, train qualified workers, and run schools to teach various physical and chemical knowledge!
At that time, you can say that you are providing training for the purpose of cultivating workers. If you give them enough money and benefits, naturally no one will bother you.

After all, it is something that has been decided, so Li Ke will naturally grasp all of them and do them all!

However, just as he was going downstairs, Li Ke saw a man whom he usually called Lao Gao, but here should be called Captain Xing, rushing into the inn in a hurry.

"The male and female evil spirits are coming!"

Then the next moment, a middle-aged man with a jade face suddenly rushed out and asked in disbelief.

"What? Didn't they say that Zhang Zhenren from Wudang came here? Would the male and female evil spirits be more peaceful recently?"

He couldn't help but ask, because the male and female evil spirits were so powerful recently that people couldn't help but feel scared, so he paid a little attention to it.

Captain Xing grabbed the teapot on the table and drank a sip to quench his thirst, then he spoke helplessly.

"That's how it was, but I don't know who was so wicked. He attacked Master Zhang twice in a row. The first time, he was kicked into the Xiliang River. It was so cold. Master Zhang was so old, but he didn't know how to respect the elderly and love the young. But it was even worse. Master Zhang finally climbed out of the Xiliang River, and that person attacked him from behind. He beat him up, his nose and face were swollen, and he caught a cold. He went to the capital to complain when he felt a little better. Now Magistrate Lou is still annoyed there."
