Walking on Chan Da's dilapidated streets, there were scattered soldiers everywhere. Their numbers were even more than the civilians of Chan Da. These people were all wearing tattered military uniforms. Their gazes were wandering, their faces were yellow, and their bodies were thin and weak. Many of them were sick.
The commoners on the streets did not have a good attitude towards these defeated soldiers. They had no choice. These defeated soldiers had no money and no food. In order to survive, they could only steal and rob the commoners. It would be strange if the commoners had a good attitude.
When they arrived at an alley, Zhou Heng told Annoyed to leave first. He walked into the alley and exchanged four small yellow croakers. According to the current gold price, the system gave him 160 silver dollars. Zhou Heng first bought a Miligan soldier backpack, then bought a sulfuric acid, painkillers, and anesthetics.
As an agricultural country with a weak industrial base, almost all of China's western medicine had to be imported. This was because the manufacturing of western medicine required a very high chemical industry, and China could not manufacture it. Even the industrialised Wei Nation did not have enough production, and medicine was scarce.
"Yo, you robbed a foreigner. It's even written in a foreign language!”Meng Fan saw Zhou Heng walking over with a bag on his body. It was written in English, and he started to talk nonsense again.
After kicking him, Zhou Heng said," No matter what, I'm still a senior officer. I only know how to talk nonsense every day. Hurry up and leave. Do you still want to treat your leg?"”
In order to save his leg, Meng Fan had to shut up and lead the way.
The black market was located in the Dongcheng Area. Qi Mazi, a black market vendor, had been wandering around here. After a while, they found him. Qi Mazi, as his name suggested, had small-flower disease. His face was full of pockmarks.
"Do you have money to buy things?" Seeing Zhou Heng carrying the rank of lieutenant colonel, Qi Mazi came up to him and asked. Although this kind of official's military uniform was tattered, he might have something valuable in his hands.
Zhou Heng turned to Meng Fan and said," Go and watch. Don't let anyone come over."”
"Tsk, what's there to be ashamed of?”Meng Fan reluctantly walked away.
Zhou Heng took out a hundred tablets of Sulfamin from his bag and asked," Miligan's original product. One bottle of 100 tablets. How much do you charge?”
As a black market merchant, Qi Mazi's eyes were very sharp. He could tell at a glance that the bottle was the real deal and had not been opened yet. However, he did not show any emotion and pretended to be nonchalant as he said," 100 silver dollars a bottle."”
Profiteer. Zhou Heng thought to himself,'This guy is buying from me, and he'll get double the profit if he resells it. If he wants to take it away at this price, he must be dreaming.'
"150 yuan per bottle. I know the price you're offering. Also, this is not a one-time business. I still have anesthetics, painkillers, and supplies that are in short supply.”Zhou Heng asked.
Qi Mazi's eyes widened. He had never thought that Zhou Heng would have so many items that were in high demand. If he had a large quantity, the price he could sell them at would be extraordinary.
"But I don't have that much money now. Why don't you come with me? I've saved money elsewhere.”
"Don't talk so much. Since you can't take it, find other dealers to pay a little each. Next time, if you want to eat it all, bring more money, understand?”
Zhou Heng was very careful. Who knew if Qi Mazi would backstab him? If they went to his place, it was uncertain whether they would live or die. If they wanted to go, they had to bring enough bodyguards next time.
With the benefits right in front of him, Qi Mazi naturally wouldn't give up. He didn't want to share the money with his competitors, but if he didn't get it now, he might lose it all in the future.
Gritting his teeth, Qi Mazi said," Alright, wait for me. I'll go find someone."”
"Hurry up, half an hour at most.”Zhou Heng said.
With money to earn, Qi Mazi was very fast. In less than fifteen minutes, he had brought three or four people over. Two of them were carrying a sack.
After checking the goods, the transaction price was also confirmed. Four bottles of sulfuric acid, four bottles of painkillers, and some anesthetics, a total of 1,700 silver dollars. However, these people could not take out that much money at the moment. They only had a little more than 1,000.
"Can antiques be used as payment?" Suddenly, someone asked.
Zhou Heng couldn't be sure if the system accepted antiques, so he said," Let me take a look."”
The man took out a bowl from his bag. Zhou Heng took it and saw that it was from the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty. It was very ordinary. He looked at the system again and saw that he could actually charge 100 silver dollars. Zhou Heng was instantly overjoyed.
"This is only 20 silver dollars. Do you have any more? Let's take a look." What Profiteer and the others did, Zhou Heng naturally did the same. He lowered the price to an extremely low level.
Unexpectedly, that person was so happy. As the saying goes, antiques in the golden age of chaos were not worth much at all. He only spent 10 silver dollars to buy it, but it doubled in value. Zhou Heng looked at him and immediately knew that he had lost money. He should have lowered the price even more.
The deal was quickly completed, and everyone was satisfied. Zhou Heng put the antiques and silver dollars into a gunny sack and carried it on his back. He felt that it was really heavy. More than 1,000 silver dollars was a total of 60 catties. Including the antiques, it was almost 70 catties. He quickly topped up the antiques and 500 silver dollars. It was too heavy.
Because of these antiques, the paywall value in the system had suddenly reached 3600. Zhou Heng could be said to have made a huge profit again.
As for the rest, the gunny sack on his back didn't look like anything. He was a little impressed by those guys who casually carried a few thousand silver coins around during transactions.
"If you still want the goods, remember to bring enough money or antiques here in five days.”With that, he turned around and left with the sack on his back.
Meng Fan, who was watching from a distance, saw Zhou Heng carrying a large sack. He didn't understand what Zhou Heng was doing. What did he buy that needed to be packed in a sack?
"Stop looking. Take me to the military supplies department. I want to buy something. I've also gotten your things. I'll treat your leg when I get back.”Zhou Heng patted Meng Fan's shoulder.
He needed two decent military uniforms to go to the military supplies department. Now, his clothes were dirty and torn. People would only treat him as a defeated soldier and not an officer. In the system, there were military uniforms from all countries, but there were no civilian uniforms. It was really strange.
If he could cure his leg when he got back, it meant he had bought the medicine. Meng Fan was overjoyed. His mouth was no longer cheap, and he happily dragged his crippled leg to lead the way in front of Zhou Heng.
Chan Da's military supplies department belonged to Yu Shi. They didn't provide food for the defeated soldiers, but if you had money, they wouldn't mind selling things to you.
After spending 20 dollars, Zhou Heng got two sets of military uniforms, including a jacket and a shirt. Before he left, the chief of the logistics department laughed and asked him to come again. Zhou Heng felt that he was in a shop, not an army. The chief of the logistics department was a businessman.
"My God, you're finally back. If you didn't come back, I would have left.”At the entrance of the yard, the vet saw Zhou Heng and Meng Fan return and quickly came up to them.
He had already hired a military doctor. He had been defeated by the Gui Army, but as a military doctor, even if he was defeated, he could still earn money. Therefore, his life was not bad. He did not want to stay in this place full of wounded soldiers because there was no medicine. He could only watch these seriously injured soldiers die. This was a great torture for a military doctor.
