After receiving the gold from the Ring Chamber of Commerce, Chen Jian's squad's gold reserves reached 60,000 grams.
If we convert it according to the basic price level of essential living materials in this world, this amount of money is roughly equivalent to about 6 million in the old world.
However, if calculated in terms of industrial products like bullets, the money they have only amounts to a mere 60,000 or so.
The disconnection between industry and agriculture is vividly reflected in the price levels, so although it seems a lot, the things this money can buy are actually not much.
On the way to Tongling, Chen Jian made a detailed plan for this fund.
He carefully studied the functional attributes and resource environments of various settlements, selling food in settlements lacking food resources to exchange for scrap, and then selling in settlements lacking scrap and resources to exchange for handmade earth-made weapons and tools.
