For Zhang Heng, today is a special day.

How special?

Day 365 of the check-in system.

Once upon a time, he also fantasized about showing off with everyone, showing off his face as a rich man, signing in a Maserati today, signing in an office building tomorrow, signing in one percent of Alibaba's shares the day after tomorrow, and reaching the peak of life.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as expected.

Other people's systems are the best, but their systems are like little girls playing house.

A pencil, an eraser, ten kilograms of flour, five eggs, were all gadgets, which made Zhang Heng wonder if he had given the system of the heroine of the local literature in the 1960s and 1970s to himself.

It is the kind of rural novel that lived in the countryside in the early 1960s, wearing a flowery cotton jacket, had a bun and a biased grandmother, and the whole family was bullied, and the heroine rose by using the sign-in system.

Why do you think so?

Because adults don’t need this thing, they are just trying to coax children at first sight. Zhang Heng was born in a modern civilized society and has abundant supplies.

A few cents a day of eggs can make the family of three die.

I signed in for one day and gave me five eggs.

I went to line up at the pharmacy, but he didn't dare to give me only five, but he had to give me ten.

Fortunately, there is no way out, and the daily signing is not good, but the monthly signing is good.

Bicycle, gold bracelet, old ginseng, mountaineering pickaxe, anti-thorn suit, pet pig...

There are many kinds of things, but there is some value. Although it has not reached the point of changing and living, it has enriched life, making Zhang Heng more and more excited about the next year signing. Maybe he can really sign in to an office building and come back.

"Ding~ Sign in successfully."

"You triggered the annual signing reward, and you got a space-time gate to the plane of the Republic of China."

"Special reminder: This world is a parallel world, and your changes will not affect reality."

"Special reminder: This world was the eighth year of the Republic of China, in 1919 of the Western calendar."

"Special reminder: Life is only once, please cherish it."

Listening to the prompts in his mind, Zhang Heng was confused.

He thought that with the sign-in system, he would not have to work hard in the future, and it would be okay to just live and wait for death.

I didn’t expect it to be a manual version, and I gave it to the Republic of China plane directly. Is it necessary to have enough food and clothing yourself?

"It seems like there's something wrong!"

Zhang Heng was soon moved.

If he remembers correctly, the earliest artificial gems appeared in 1900.

Trapped by current technology, this artificial gem is not fake, and you can see the tiny bubbles inside with the naked eye. If you observe with a magnifying glass, you can even see fine artificial arc lines.

These bubbles and arc lines do not exist in natural gems and can be seen as fake at first glance.

In the following hundred years, with the advancement of technology and the increase in technical level, artificial gemstones became more and more authentic.

In modern times, even some professional appraisal institutions find it difficult to identify the authenticity of gems, especially some high-end artificial gems. To some extent, they are real, just a certificate is missing.

Zhang Heng thought that the high imitation gems that are difficult to distinguish in modern times will be seen through in the Republic of China period without advanced instruments.

I'm afraid that I won't get any money if I've made some ruby ​​rings, pearl necklaces, and jadeite?

"No, there is a way to make money, but it is hard to say whether you can make money."

"1919 was a period of warlord separatism, and the people were living in poverty, and there were bandits and bullies everywhere."

"If you are alone and want to get money back with gems, you have to leave your life behind if you don't have a good time."

Zhang Heng has watched some TV series describing the Republic of China period.

Such as "The Scent of Locust Flowers in May", "The House", "White Deer Plain", "Living", and "The Mute Bride".

Some movies such as "Face Change", "Farewell My Concubine", and "The Big Red Lantern Hanging High".

More or less describes the chaotic situation of law in troubled times, a country without a country, a soldier without a soldier, and a bandit without a bandit.

In this era, it is not easy to open a store and do business.

If you are really stupid, you can exchange for real gold and silver with a box of watches or a few gems. It is estimated that it is easy to get in and out.

As it got dark, a carriage walked through the backyard, and with a slap, a sack was thrown into the reservoir.

Of course, you may also encounter a kind boss and get the goods and pay for it.

But if anyone dares to bet on this chance, if he loses the bet, he will become a tragedy.

"It's good to make money, but you have to spend your life."

"The first step between the modern times and the Republic of China should not be to make money, but to gain a foothold."

"Someone once said that when doing big things, you must know how to think twice, think about danger, change, and retreat."

"Only you can sit on the Diaoyutai if you can ensure safety, deal with accidents, and leave a way out."

"I slap my head and then slap my butt. I just want to get rich if I don't have a long time to do it. I think it's almost the same to dream."

Zhang Heng's eyes flashed, and he had a certain plan in his heart.

...Three days later...

"Sir, your courier."

"Thanks."

After sending the courier away, Zhang Heng entered the house with the box in his arms. He had received several copies of the same courier box.

Take one apart.

There is a gray robe inside.

Take apart one more, and there is a red jacket inside.

He put it on his body and then put on a white top hat, and immediately became a gentry class of the Republic of China period.

"Ahem..."

Zhang Heng coughed twice and turned around in the mirror: "The landlord's family has no surplus food!"

OK, like that.

It was worth noting that he spent 3,000 yuan to specially book the clothes from Zhonghua Pavilion.

"money!"

Thinking of the money, Zhang Heng reacted and quickly opened the drawer and took out the fake ocean I bought from the Antique Street yesterday.

If the Yuan Datou was made in the fourth year of the Republic of China, if it is true, the market price is usually around 1,500 to 2,000. It is more expensive with good quality and cheaper with average quality.

However, the thirty dollars he had in his hands were not genuine products, so he bought high-quality imitations.

Three hundred yuan per piece, it is said that it was a master from Yanjing who made it himself with a coin minting machine from the 1940s.

Not only did the materials used exactly the same, but also mixed with the same proportion of silver. In addition to the new appearance, it is no different from the real ocean.

As for the value of an ocean during the Republic of China period.

The monthly salary of the waiter's "Formal, Not Apprentice" is about two yuan, and the master is five yuan.

Taking "The First Floor in the World" as an example, roast duck master Luo Datou took five dollars at the beginning, but later the business was booming, and then it rose to eight dollars.

What about purchasing power.

One piece of ocean is 1 yuan, which is equal to 2 Zhongyang's "Silver Dollars with Five Corners", 10 Xiaoyang's "Silver Dollars with One Corners", or 100 copper dollars "Bronze Dollars with One Corners".

What about prices.

Rice costs 3 cents per pound, millet costs 1 cent, beef for five cents, mutton for three cents, pork for one cent, sugar for one cent, cotton for about 1 cent and 2 cents per square foot, and vegetables cost anywhere from a few cents.

Two pieces of ocean are 66 kilograms of rice.

If it is replaced with millet, it will be 200 kilograms, mix some wild vegetables, which will be enough for a family of five to chew.

The thirty oceans in Zhang Heng's hand are definitely nothing if he puts them in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.

But in ordinary places, there are probably few families who can take it out.

After all, restaurant workers worked decently in ancient times. Ordinary people planted some land and could not see a few oceans a year. Otherwise, they would not have to sell their children and daughters during disasters.

"Thirty oceans, the initial funds should be enough."

Zhang Heng thought about it while taking out a genealogy.

With three helpers, Zhang Heng felt that he was alone and the risk of going to a pawnshop to exchange jewelry for money was too high.

I am determined to find a few helpers in the Republic of China, but most people can't believe it, so what should I do?

The answer lies in this genealogy.

Zhang Heng's ancestors came from Dagou Town, Yangjiang County, Handong Province.

The Zhang family was also a big family in the town back then. It is said that there were 800 households and more than 7,000 people during the Republic of China. During the War of Resistance Against Japan, they even set up their own villager defense group.

Zhang Heng was not familiar with the Republic of China.

But he is familiar with the Zhang family, and he doesn't jump out of the stone.

In short, his branch is still the main line of the Zhang family, and the genealogy is now in his hands.

Looking through the genealogy, who is who and who has done what everyone has done, it is clearly written on the genealogy.
