Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

Chapter 70: The golden Buddha on a jade throne, more than one foot high, was the treasure of Liu Yu’s house in the Eastern Jin Dynasty!

Ximen Lang would never have thought that the first change he brought to this world after coming from thousands of miles away was to make the Siheyuan world produce plastic bags in advance.

Although plastic bags are indeed a rare good thing in today's courtyard world.

You can enter the international market to earn foreign exchange, or you can hold on to the domestic market to benefit thousands of families.

But I just this afternoon gave Bai Ling a lengthy speech, citing classics and explaining the harms of environmental damage, and convinced her of my point of view, and now you've given me such a big surprise, right?!

If people in the modern world knew that the first change I brought to the world was to make them invent plastic bags in advance,
Won't they nag me forever?!
So, no surprises.

When Ximen Lang saw Bai Ling running towards him excitedly and finding out that the thing she was showing off was actually a plastic bag, he was completely stunned.

And after a long time had passed, Ximen Lang finally said this in silence.

"You spent half a month and ended up coming up with something like this?"

"How is it? Are you surprised?"

Bai Ling’s cheerful look made Ximen Lang want to die.

He simply snatched the plastic bag that Bai Ling was fiddling with and threw it aside, which made Bai Ling very dissatisfied.

"What are you doing? Why did you throw it away?"

Ximen Lang then asked in confusion.

"If I remember correctly, I didn't give you the information to make this thing, did I? How did you guys come up with it?"

Ximen Lang talked about this directly.

First, he picked up the plastic bag like a treasure.

Then, while brushing off the dust on the plastic bag, Bai Ling said proudly.

"You didn't give it to us, but that doesn't hinder our research!"

"Remember the first time you met Lao Luo? You were covered in plastic bags!"

"At that time, Lao Luo was thinking, if we could also make something so convenient, it would be so much easier."

"result?"

"So Lao Luo gave those plastic bags you didn't want to his research friend, and guess what?"

"I don't want to guess!"

Seeing that Ximen Lang didn't play by the rules at all, Bai Ling lost interest in keeping him in suspense and directly told him the answer.

"If he couldn't figure it out, he would ask his classmates. If his classmates couldn't figure it out, they would ask their teacher. If the teacher couldn't figure it out, they would ask the professor. In the end, dozens of people worked on these plastic bags for several days, and then they finally developed the plastic bag in the lab!"

"They all received rewards from higher-ups for this! After that, everything went smoothly. Under the guidance of higher-ups, they immediately started production. These are the first batch of samples from the newly built plastic bag factory."

"So, with so many good things, you only came up with this. I'm really..."

Ximen Lang’s head was almost scratched into a mess by him.

He held Ximen Lang's hand and helped him straighten his hair.

After this little episode, Bai Ling finally calmed down.

"We have no other options. Although you brought a lot of good stuff, this is something we can produce in a short period of time. All the others, without exception, require a lot of time for research and a lot of experiments to verify."

"And this thing isn't as bad as you say. Look at the quality. Except for the patterns and words on it not being as detailed as the ones you brought, the quality is absolutely top-notch. It's much more convenient than the oil paper bags we use now!" "It's not a question of convenience, but..."

Seeing that Bai Ling still didn't understand, he directly explained to her all the problems, such as the difficulty of plastic bags to degrade.

Now, it was Bai Ling's turn to be speechless.

"No, you were just agonizing over this for so long. I really don't understand your train of thought."

"Let's not talk about whether these plastic bags are as harmful as you say. Even if they are, what does it have to do with us? You don't really think that if you invest in factories to produce them, they will be used domestically, right? You are a big shot who needs to earn foreign exchange."

Bai Ling was so speechless that she even spoke in Cantonese.

Bai Ling continued.

"This kind of thing is easy to sell, and there are no technical barriers. It's a typical one-time deal. We must first sell it to the international market to make money from foreigners!"

"Even if it becomes widespread in China, who knows when it will happen. So no matter how difficult it is to degrade or how much white pollution it causes, it will pollute them first. What does it have to do with us? Are you stupid?!"

"Yeah, what does pollution have to do with us?!"

Moreover, after generations of updates and replacements, the problem of plastic bags being difficult to degrade has been greatly improved.

At worst, we can just adjust it later!
Ximen Lang's words made me suddenly enlightened.

Regarding Ximen Lang's frustration over the inability to resolve the food crisis in a short period of time, Bai Ling shared her own insights from the perspective of an outsider.

"Although I don't know what you're frustrated about, I want to tell you, don't forget, we only have 600 million people in total."

"Our food wasn't as scarce as you thought. But now that fertilizers are available, we're almost able to increase our food production by half!"

"Do you know what increasing food production by half means? You're still worrying about whether there's enough food to eat, but I'm already thinking about how we're going to store all this extra food!"

Ximen Langren was so annoyed that he couldn't help but shout out.

"Yeah, with just such a small population, if we just increase the output, we'll have enough food to eat. So what am I so worried about?!"

All the entanglements disappeared in an instant, and Ximen Lang, who felt refreshed, immediately started shaking.

"Isn't it just some fertilizer? That's what we have the most! I'll get him a hundred or eighty production lines someday! Let the folks use it freely and make as much as they want! Use them one bag at a time, and don't worry about anything else. Just increase the output first!"

Bai Ling’s eyes almost rolled up to the sky.

"I'm talking to you, do you hear me?"

Bai Ling was forced to respond reluctantly.

"Yes, yes, my young master."

Then, he went back to the house and brought over the golden Buddha on the jade throne.

Bai Ling expressed her sincere gratitude to Ximen Lang, whose eyes had been wide open for a long time.

"I know this golden Buddha isn't enough to thank you for everything you've done for us, but it's a token of my appreciation. Come and take a look. Do you like it?"

Do you still like it?
Just by looking at the shining look in Ximen Lang’s eyes, you can tell that he must like this thing!

But soon, the more Ximen Lang looked, the more he felt something was wrong.

"Golden Buddha on a Jade Throne? Over a foot tall? The guardian jewel of Liu Yu of the Eastern Jin Dynasty?!!!"
