More than 90% of the people in Qingshan Town believed in Gu. There were nearly 10,000 people. At the same time, they were very isolated and poor. Most of the children ran around naked. As for the adults, regardless of whether they were men, women, or the elderly, they all had yellow and emaciated faces.
The situation in Qingshan Town was only a microcosm in this era. The Qing court had always failed in foreign wars and signed all kinds of humiliating contracts. Where did the compensation money come from?
Weren't they all here to oppress the people?
There were countless kinds of exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and they were levied under various names.
Gu Zhou knew that now was not the time when the commoners were suffering the most. When the warlords fought, the commoners would wish they were dead.
The warlords had set all kinds of taxes that were jaw-dropping. The war had caused many people to be homeless. They did not even have a room to shelter themselves from the wind and rain. They could only live in caves. They had to collect taxes to sleep in caves. They could not live for free.
For example, on New Year's holidays, families with the ability would always eat some chicken, duck, fish, and meat to celebrate. When their own chickens were killed and eaten, they would also have to pay taxes. It was not only chickens, but also pork. Not only would the killing of pigs be subject to taxes, but even the tying of pigs to be killed would also be subject to taxes.
It could be said that he had broken through the bottom line of a person.
…………
Da Niu's burly physique was quite unusual in Qingshan Town.
Looking at the wild goat on Da Niu's shoulder, many villagers revealed looks of desire. They looked at Gu Zhou, the outsider, with vigilance.
" Gu Zhou," Er Gou said in a low voice," our town is quite xenophobic. Don't run around randomly."”
Gu Zhou nodded. The more isolated a place was, the more xenophobic it was. This was normal.
There were two people in Da Niu's family, including his blind mother. Judging from Da Niu's young age, his mother should be around forty years old. However, her hair was already white, and her body was hunched. She looked like a person in her sixties or seventies as she sat quietly on the doorstep like a statue.
"Mother, I'm back. I hunted a wild goat.”
His mother nodded lightly and didn't say anything.
"My mother doesn't like to talk."
Da Niu looked at Gu Zhou and habitually rubbed his head with a silly smile.
"I'm fine," Gu Zhou said with a smile.
At night, the energy was finally full. Da Niu and his mother had also fallen asleep. With a thought, Gu Zhou's space-time door appeared. With a step, he returned to the modern world.
"I only need to re-accumulate energy in the Republic of China plane. I can go through it whenever I return to the modern world.”
Looking at the illusory screen on his wrist, Gu Zhou was puzzled. He did not bother to investigate further. He turned on his computer and began to search for information about Gu Clan Town.
After some searching, he confirmed his thoughts.
More than a hundred years ago, nearly ten thousand people from Qingshan Town had lived here.
And now, this place had become the city center.
The people of Qingshan Town had later migrated away. Now, it was the richest Gu Village in C City. However, this number one village in C City was very poor before the 1980s. In the 1980s, there was an incident that made the news and caused a sensation in C City.
It turned out that more than a hundred years ago, a man named Gu Youlong from Qingshan Town went to Southeast Asia to make a living. He spent decades building a foundation and died in the 1960s, but his lifelong wish was to be buried in his hometown.
In the 1980s, his son, Gu Longcheng, who was in his 90s, brought his ashes back to his hometown to fulfill Gu Youlong's wish. He also made an investment, and the entire Gu Family Village received the dividends from Gu Longcheng's investment.
"Maybe I can pretend to be Gu Youlong's son.”
A thought appeared in Gu Zhou's mind.
What was certain was that Gu Youlong had not contacted Qingshan Town for decades after he went to Southeast Asia. Qingshan Town might have thought that he had died outside.
His current idea was to rely on the Republic of China plane to be a profiteer and become a billionaire easily.
However, money moved people. In a chaotic world like the Republic of China, there had to be people who could be used by one's side.
The same clan had a natural bond. No matter what, people of the same clan were more likely to be trusted than outsiders. Even if they were fake, as long as they made the fake real, it would be fine.
It was impossible for the people of Qingshan Town to go to Southeast Asia to find Gu Youlong to verify it, right?
"Be a master! Earn money!"
Gu Zhou could think of anything that could make money in the Republic of China plane.
Take watches for example. Any watch that could be sold for ten yuan on a ATM would be a watch that could only be looked up to by Patrick Phillip and Vacheron Constantin in the Republic of China.
There were even all kinds of exquisite and cheap aluminum alloy jewelry on the Internet. There were many gold and silver jewelry in the Republic of China.
Or perhaps it was the godly medicine that had not been discovered in the Republic of China. On the Internet, the amount of Penicilin used for animal use was calculated in barrels. Each barrel cost 50 yuan, but even if it was used for animal use, its effects were much stronger than Penicilin, which was first discovered, or even after Penicilin was discovered 20 to 30 years later.
At that time, a gram of penicillin was worth more than a gram of gold.
…………
There were too many of them. Gu Zhou could make a lot of money just by buying anything in the modern world.
Therefore, he didn't need to think about selling anything in the Republic of China. What he needed to consider was safety.
What was Gu Zhou's first impression of the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China?
Humiliating treaty.
Invasion.
warlords.
The people were in dire straits.
The army is like bandits.
The bandits are everywhere.
People are like grass.
Chaos!
It was too chaotic!
Gu Zhou rashly took the watch and jewelry to sell. He was lucky and successfully traded them.
If they were unlucky, they would enter vertically and come out horizontally.
In this era, the law was just a decoration. If someone was killed, buried, and died quietly, no one would avenge them.
Gu Zhou did not want to bet his life on whether he would meet a good person.
"There are too many ways to earn money by relying on the Republic of China plane and being a profiteer.”
"That's why I can't rush it. I have to stand firm.”
"Earning money is secondary. First, we have to ensure our safety.”
"Stable! Stable! More stable!"
"A crafty rabbit has three burrows. Find a way out before doing anything. If you want to do something dangerous, it's best to wait until the energy is full. If you encounter danger, you can return to the modern world at any time.”
"If you earn money, you have to live to spend it.”
Gu Zhou exhaled slowly and immediately placed an order online. He bought a barrel of animal antibiotics, a watch, and ordinary aluminum alloy jewelry.
Then, she found an uncle who was in the antique business and bought it for 50 yuan through his connections.
A real antique from the ocean would cost a few thousand yuan each.
Gu Zhou only bought a replica of the big yuan. It cost 200 yuan per piece, 50 yuan, and 10,000 yuan.
After spending half a day, he had earned 50 yuan.
