Traveling through the sword to engage in military industry.

Chapter 33 New Way of Exchange (Seeking Follow-up Reading)

In the world of Bright Sword, there is a large cave outside Yangcun.

Ren Zhong buried the copper ingots he brought back in the cave, and he took 10 kilogram of the 1 kilograms of penicillin sodium that had just arrived and carried it with him to take back to the clothing factory.

This time, Ren Zhong made a major change of clothes. Not only did he bring his custom-made long gown and cotton robe, but he also packed two other long gowns and a one-meter square moisture-proof pad and carried them on his back to see if they could be brought through together. The results proved that this method was indeed allowed by the system.

Through these experiments, Ren Zhong basically figured out the rules of time travel, which is that as long as one can carry something independently with him in another dimension, it can travel with the body. If it is connected to somewhere else outside the body, then the thing cannot be taken away. Even if it is just a string, as long as the other end is connected to something else and not all of it is on the body, it will not work.

This rule is of course very restrictive for Ren Zhong. For example, Ren Zhong cannot just hold a copper ingot weighing hundreds of kilograms and bring it back to another time and space by leaning it against the ground.

As long as you cannot pick it up and carry it with you, the system may determine that it is not an item that can be taken away.

Of course, this is quite reasonable. You can't just hold a car and have it travel with you through time, because the place you travel to is where you live, maybe a small house, or maybe a cave. If there are too many items that exceed the space for the human body, there will be no space to put them when you travel through time. Wouldn't that squeeze the host to death?
So Ren Zhong slowly figured out the limits of time travel. In this way, when Ren Zhong chose items, he knew which ones he could take away.

It’s not as if I were still as ignorant as before.

Ren Zhong checked his whole body carefully. It basically had no modern atmosphere. Even his shoes were replaced with completely hand-made custom-made cowhide shoes with no LOGO or any other logo. Compared with the sneakers and down jackets he had worn before, this outfit was basically fully integrated into the current era.

It’s just that the style of the long gown is a little bit fashionable.

After all, the imitation lacks a lot of physical materials at that time for comparison, and the tailoring follows many modern slim-fitting ideas, with the exception of that special custom-made piece!
Ren Zhong estimated that more than ten hours had passed before he got up and returned to Yangcun.

Hu Zi was not surprised at Ren Zhong's new change. For them, changing their image was a basic operation when they went to work in the enemy-occupied area. It would be abnormal if they didn't change. After resting in Yang Village for a night, the two set off again to return to Daxia Bay.

"We traveled together all the way to Yangcun, and there was nothing unusual in the middle. But after arriving at Yangcun, Mr. Ren refused to let me follow him no matter what. So after leaving Yangcun, I had no idea of ​​Mr. Ren's whereabouts. I only know that he came back dressed like this." After returning to the clothing factory, Hu Zi truthfully reported to Li Yunlong about the situation along the way.

Li Yunlong's eyes kept turning. Hu Zi's report showed that Ren Zhong was indeed hiding some secrets, and he was not afraid of Li Yunlong and the others knowing them, so he flatly refused Hu Zi to follow him in Yangcun.

If I were a spy doing secret work, then the traces of my behavior would be too obvious. It would be like telling Li Yunlong openly that I have a secret.

If Ren Zhong never came back, it would be easier to understand why Li Yunlong got away after obtaining the intelligence. But if Ren Zhong came back, what kind of operation was this?
Li Yunlong shook his head, feeling that he was still somewhat confused about Ren Zhong's approach.

Just forget about it.

Although the clothing factory is near the headquarters, it is still several kilometers away from the headquarters. The Japanese are clear about the approximate range of the headquarters. After all, the thing that the headquarters cannot hide is the reception and transmission of radio waves. With the Japanese's level of radio wave detection, it is no problem to locate within a radius of more than ten kilometers.

Therefore, even if Ren Zhong regarded Daxia Bay as a secret that he had obtained, it actually did not have much significance, as this general area did not have much value to the Japanese.

It's simply not worth exchanging expensive anti-inflammatory drugs for it.

The Japanese were not stupid and would definitely not do such a thing as exchanging a watermelon for a sesame seed. So from this perspective, Ren Zhong might not really be a spy from the enemy and puppet army.

Whether in terms of motivation or technology, Ren Zhong behaved too amateurishly.

When Ren Zhong took out a whole bag of penicillin and prepared to trade with Zhang Wanhe, Li Yunlong knew that his doubts could be reduced by another 99%!
Because this time Ren Zhong's transaction was another big deal worth tens of thousands of dollars, a full kilogram of penicillin, according to Ren Zhong's explanation, this was equivalent to 1 amoxicillin capsules.

The medicine is good, but it is really expensive. Li Yunlong is just worried that Zhang Wanhe can't afford it.

But this time Ren Zhong had a new way of trading.

"Mr. Ren, we really can't give you the money." After Zhang Wanhe received the news and rushed over, his face was full of apologies and complaints.

The previous debt has not been paid off yet, and this time there is a new debt of 12,000. The organization behind Ren Zhong is really unfathomable.

Special-effect medicines are being transported in batch after batch, and the base is now exporting them in the opposite direction.

"It's okay. In addition to dollars and gold, I can also accept paintings and calligraphy from famous people as payment. Minister Zhang, I have a list here. You see, the works of these painters, no matter how big or small, I will charge them 2000 dollars per painting. Changshuo, Beihong, Daqian, Baishi, Baoshi, Binhong, Tianshou, Keran, Haisu, if they are representative works, dollars per painting is not impossible." Ren Zhong looked at Zhang Wanhe and told him his new plan.

This was a new plan that Ren Zhong designed for them after fully considering the base's ability to pay. In comparison, it was easier for the base to obtain these calligraphy and paintings than to raise money.

In this era, although some of the painters mentioned by Ren Zhong have been famous for a long time, it is relatively rare for their paintings to cost thousands of dollars. Most of them can be bought for hundreds of dollars now. Ren Zhong charged 2 dollars, which left sufficient operating space for the base. Moreover, the representative works can be further premiumized. He offered an extremely high price of tens of thousands of dollars. Zhang Wanhe was immediately attracted when he heard it.

He had never thought that a painter's work could be worth thousands of dollars. However, Zhang Wanhe didn't know much about these things yet, so he said to Ren Zhong cautiously, "Mr. Ren, I will go back and study the new plan you mentioned. If it can be implemented, we are happy to provide you with a new exchange method."

Zhang Wanhe plans to go back and find out the prices of these painters' works before he can decide whether this deal is a loss or not.

But according to his intuition, this deal should be doable. A painting is not an antique, so it would not cost thousands of dollars.

The logistics department of the base has now begun to promote penicillin, a special medicine, in surrounding cities through its own channels. The profit can be several times higher by reselling it, which is worthy of Zhang Wanhe's efforts to promote it.

If you can further reduce the purchase cost by exchanging paintings, this deal is worth it!
Ren Zhong did not specify the work of one person, but a group of people. Although Zhang Wanhe had never heard of these people, he would definitely be able to find someone familiar with this business in the logistics department.

So Zhang Wanhe, who was originally overwhelmed by the debt of tens of thousands of dollars, felt much more relaxed and happy this time. He took the new sodium penicillin provided by Ren Zhong. Of course, after changing the form of the medicine, Zhang Wanhe had to re-package it according to Ren Zhong's usage and dosage before selling it.

As a result, both parties were very excited about the new way of exchange.
