Capítulo 23: The story of Dara, Li Ban, Javed and coins part - End
The former chief minister settled in a village on the edge of an oasis and desert, he called nomads through Dara, promised them money, and they began to bring him all sorts of unusual roots, stones, bring water from wells to the waterskins, and bring animals' skins.
Dara studied them, made medicinal tinctures and pills from the roots, sold them at the bazaars in the CAO kingdom. By stones, Dara could identify new deposits - gold, silver, copper and lead. According to nomads, Dara is a geographic map of mines and wells. By the taste of water, after conducting alchemical experiments, Dara could understand where there are curative sources that can heal sore joints, improve liver function, and reduce headaches. If drugs from the roots were added to the water of some wells, then people and horses could feel a surge of strength for 10-20 hours. This knowledge could be useful both for merchants and for the army. New knowledge could be sold for hard money.
On the basis of maps of new deposits, the former chief minister sent groups led by Dara, where they organized on-site cooperative artels and mined precious metals and precious stones. Then they minted their coins into a quiet one, since the former chief minister was offended. A part of the money and precious stones received, he smuggled into a secret guard and she already sent the king.
With the money received, Dara and the Chief Minister, though former, hired artisans who, in a village forgotten by everyone, created carved caskets, jewelery, sheaths for swords in a village forgotten by everyone. Money is not superfluous!
Honor plowed to find out what was going on with the neighbors, what secrets they have ... but this is a boring story.
So it was all prosaic, Dara made it possible for Javed to steal a coin, Li-Ban got from his uncle, he was banished to garrison commander in Lob Nor desert, to the customs post and drive the bandits robbing caravans. Sir Pei's discontent led to the resignation and exile of the Chief Minister. Javed was dragged behind him. Dara also fell under the distribution of cuffs.
Javed wanted to activate two coins, but he could not. He was disappointed in life, in the head minister, he blamed all troubles not himself, not his greed and ambitions of another person. So it was easier! That person was Dara. He stole a coin from him so that Javed did not, the coin was not activated. Once hot, Javed threw two coins into a mountain stream that was 50 li from the village ... and when he came to himself he could not find ... who could find two small coins in a mountain stream.
So they disappeared. Then Javed searched for them together with Li-Ban, Daria in 10 and 20 years and so could not find them. What is interesting is that the trickle was small, only one elbow and two index fingers deep. Searched, searched yes and found nothing ...
My sister and I went far away ... years, decades, centuries, millennia passed, and now she was on the foothill plain, and here I was in a well, we were carried by the water of the river to this place.
What happened next I don't know, like my sister, you can only ask the author of the 'Jiang' Magic Coin chronicles or delve into family legends with your relatives and relatives Fang ... maybe they know something ...
"Eeee, what a boring story!" So much time spent on it, not really learn anything! Probably, the ancestor just earned money while 10 years old was in exile. Once fake coins were minted, they sold all sorts of cards and crafts.
But I wonder why since that time, or what of the wealth is left?
Why he did not buy a noble title, did not become some important grandee?
Now they would not have worked, as rich Arabs on Lexus cut through the desert "!
I can explain to you master!
"Oh, Shir! What is it?"
It's simple, your ancestors went to conquer new lands, collided with Tanga and Ed led by the Korean commander in chief, he led the army of the Tang Empire! They fought bravely, but the Arabs surpassed them in tactics and strategies ... The Empire of Tang lost its influence over the CAO kingdom and the principality of He, Small An, Big An and 6 other principalities.
Arab influence spread further. The Han Chinese left for 900 years ... but then they returned again and, beginning from the 17th and 18th centuries, they again had their vassals in the part of the territory left from the CAO kingdom ...
"Well, and where is my family here?"
How and? They were part of the Arab troops!
They came between the rivers, left here, settled, intermarried with the nomads and the Persians. Lost their wealth. We survived several world wars, and even if we did not forget about 100 years in the region, we were called upon to refuse money, to be rich was considered treason! So it is only natural that nothing remained of the wealth that existed 1,400 years ago!
But there is a rich history! Your family, as I remember, from the Arabs for 1400 years were peasants ... and now they are peasants, those who remained on the Arabian Peninsula, but those who came to Mesopotamia, they are already scientists, officials, businessmen, artisans.
So consider growth!
"Yes, but those farmers who stayed on the Arabian Peninsula receive annual sales of $ 1,000,000 from the country from export sales. So throughout his life. They go to work in jeeps for $ 90,000, and may not work. And if they work then they have a salary of $ 25,000 per month! "
Well, what do you want? You have to pay for everything!
"Eh! That is why ancestors went into this interfluve? Now they would live there as the Russians say - they would ride like cheese in butter! And here in Small AN, the salary per month is 150-200 dollars, and sometimes it is not always on time. Tariffs for public utilities grow 3-4 times a year, we can't get rich, full, and buying a car doesn't seem like a swordsman's dream? "
Boss, you yourself do not leave, for example, to Europe or the USA, for example, according to the Green Card!
"I will leave, my family will leave, who will be left at home? So almost all the good doctors left, now the fifth wave of doctors is packing their bags and leaving. They do not believe that everything will improve in Small AN. They don't want to spend their time and energy on treating their countrymen so that they are healthy, they don't want to earn 900 dollars a month, they want to receive 500,000 dollars a year as in the United States. "
"Engineers, scientists, white and blue collars have already left; now there are no electronics engineers, specialists in the field of high-tech production and science.
Here we will leave, the remnants of qualified scientists, artisans, professors, who will remain in their homeland? The quality level of graduates and graduate students will immediately fall.
We will truly become a banana republic in the full sense of the word. But we, unlike them, do not have a tropical climate, the very bananas and the warm sea. We are cold, there is no sea and there was no trace.
Some 30 years ago, our economy was at the level of Finland, a developed economy with a GDP of 500 billion dollars, we spent 2.5 billion dollars a year on science, we built satellites ourselves, built airplanes, built tractors, built agricultural harvesters, had their own computers, their own milling machines. And now?
And now there's nothing left! All sold, broke, specialists left for other countries.
Now, if we leave for a better life, then who will be home?
The chances for the revival of the economy - I agree, scanty, but are they still there ?!
Where to leave the native land? So we will only grumble, grumble, and we will stay at home.
Although it is likely, no one from the clan world will appreciate it, but we will evaluate it for ourselves!
So, okay, what to say about it "!
Well, you see, master, you can also think positively!
"Of course!"
Yes, you fool, why are you lose heart, we have such plans now! Possessing the combined magic, now you can activate your power for 10 days and it has increased!
Now such things, you fool, you can do!
All the main things with your own hands can make a lot of money!
And help people! New jobs open!
Treat people with your products! Because now, your land on the farm, your water, your products have a healing effect. If people eat them, drink water, the effects will accumulate and they will be cured from chronic diseases. This all improves karma!
"Oooh! Sounds encouraging! "
Great, easy to say, don't hold back, you fool!
"Wow! Pride is a sin, modesty adorns a person! "
"But I agree absolutely with you, dear elder sister and you Shire, that we can achieve amazing results, but it will take a lot of work, work to get a good result. Magic is coming as a bonus! "
You're right, you fool! Magic without mind and without zeal is money to the wind!
By the way, pay attention to your new abilities!
"Like, am I now a superhero?"
"In our culture there is no such a superhero as there is in the USA. Like Matimaus, who will put tails on all bad cats "!
"But I seem to be feeling something" ?!
"I think I can foresee events. Images flash through my head like an anime. After 10 minutes, Yoshida-san will drive up to Baraz, bring 3 kg of cabot and 4 kg of Japanese peas! "
"Pea is good. You can eat both its cores and the sash "!
"We have no such varieties!"
"Yoshida or Yoshida by the way?"
"One way or another, he will agree to stay for dinner!"
"And dinner will go well!"
"It seems I learned something new!"
And what?
"You can run a computer program and it checks the English grammar"
Shire, noticed, but something like Grammarly?
"Aha!"
Interestingly, and she stylistics, punctuation, she checks?
"I dont know"!
"Yes, I heard from my older colleague that programmers have been writing programs for writers for 20 years who are just typing the names of heroes, and the program is writing a book for them"!
"But is this creativity?"
"Now I can not only understand English, but also write in a literary language!"
Here, you see, your magical abilities are beginning to manifest!
"Yes! Interesting is all!
"It's a pity that you can't look into the history and understand the reason why environmentally friendly methods of increasing yields in our Small AN were banned?"
Well, maybe this ability will appear?
Who knows!
Here we come! Come on fool, let's see how things are with the online store?
"Good"!
