Chapter 1884 Leave
It turned out to be the reason, but Mr. Lu is not an ordinary person. It is impossible for him to believe this matter based on the two words of Boss Cui. Although King Lear has forgotten this matter now, but if in the future What should I do when I think about it, I can't refuse King Lear, although King Lear is not very kind to me, but he is a tenth-level fighter, he has his own skills, but I don't have it. If I hand over these people directly, this guy will definitely embarrass me when he comes back. King Lear will definitely do anything for his own affairs. Thinking that King Lear is very hot, Even Mr. Lu feels a little uncomfortable at the moment, that guy can do anything.
"What does the old man think about this matter? If there is any embarrassment, we can make some compensation. Our young master also knows that the old man will definitely have various embarrassments when he comes back. In the past, we didn't have much influence in the Western Empire. Yes, but we do have a lot of land here, this is our point of view, and it can be regarded as adding a little extra money to Master Lu in the future." The guy said with a smile, taking it from his pocket A land deed came out, and Mr. Lu didn't read what was written on it. If he read it at this time, he would look very petty, but Mr. Lu knew that the things on it were absolutely priceless. Indeed, this Zhang's land deed is 40% of the arable land in the county where Master Lu is located. It took Cao's business a few days to buy it all at a high price.
Originally, the land price in this county was about 7 taels of silver per mu of land, but because the Cao's firm was in a hurry to buy it, the price was almost 20% higher, and they were all bought at more than 8 taels of silver. This is a total of 50,000 hectares Land, according to the conversion unit of the Western Empire, is 50,000*120, which is 6,000,000 mu of cultivated land, which is nearly 50 million taels of silver, and if all these cultivated lands are bought, there will be at least millions of silver in income every year. If Lu Town still existed in the past, they would not have been interested in such a small amount of money, but now it is different from before. This is the highest income of their Lu family in human society. Mr. Lu is also very interested in these incomes. After all, what the Lu family needs in the future is such a stable income. It is impossible for them to buy so much arable land by their own ability. It's not bad, in my own farm, I still have the final say. Although these tenants did not buy their own land, they only needed to lease their own land. They have to listen to their own words carefully. To be honest, Master Lu is also very satisfied with this.
"Hehe, these people actually didn't offend me. They offended a friend of mine. Forget it. Since it's related to your young master, I won't say much. You can just take it back this time. Nothing will happen to you." Master Lu said with a smile. What he said made Boss Cui very happy, and he still had a little doubt. Just now, Mr. Lu was a little scared. Why didn't he talk about those things for a while? Isn't it a bit strange? Well, aren't you afraid now? This seems to be a bit unreasonable.
"Then I really want to thank Mr. Lu on behalf of our young master. Our young master also said that if there is a son in the family who is good at this trade. The trading house of our Cao's business in this province will open soon.
At that time, Master Lu will give us a good man. "Brother Cui laughed and said, this is to send a favor to the past. In fact, what can these noble sons do, I guess one of them can't do anything. The reason why Li Cong said that is to help them arrange a person for the Lu family. Yes. In the past, these descendants of the Lu family were naturally not enough in Lu Town, but now, everyone stays at home, can this afford them? Each of them is either a wife or a concubine Yes, I still don’t want to go to the Warcraft Mountains to kill monsters. It’s okay to rely on the family’s capital in a short period of time, but it’s definitely not enough for a long time. The family’s old way of eating can’t stand it. Many people in the family still hope to have a good job, so this provides one.
"In the future, we will be friends. You don't need to be so polite. I am old and I don't have much energy. I just hope that my children and grandchildren can be well one by one. I will stay with you less. You can go with the shopkeeper Cui. Let those people out." After seeing this matter, Mr. Lu has basically finished talking, and it's meaningless to stay here by himself, so it's better to let his descendants get in touch with the people of Cao's firm, so that It is also convenient to develop in the future.
"Mr. Lu just needs to rest." Mr. Cui nodded with a big smile, and several people sent the old man out.
Things are basically doing well. Boss Cui took a closer look at these people when he saw them. It seems that these people are indeed all right in the Lu family. They all look pretty good, even if they are There are a few injured people. The Lu family also handled it very well. Of course, they don’t know the shopkeeper Cui, but Li Cong knew him. Boss Cui also knows that his brother-in-law uses this name outside. They all know that they are the sixth and they don't have any excuses. They don't like Yang Qiu and Cui's boss. How can I say that he is Li Cong's brother-in-law? What's the matter.
Boss Cui doesn't have much time to waste here. There are still many things at home. Li Cong's grain business and trading business are developing rapidly. Of course, this grain business is actually a stronghold established here. The profit situation in China is really not that good. In some places, if this kind of food with better taste is promoted, it will be no problem, but if it cannot be promoted, it may still lose money every month. The trading house is such a thing. It is definitely a lucrative industry. As long as you work hard without stealing or robbing, you can bring yourself a good income after a few years.
Li Cong's cooperation with the Dai family also took a fancy to the relationship of the Dai family here. Basically, the Dai family in the whole province is allowed. Li Cong also wants to build a huge grain warehouse within the sphere of influence of the Dai family in the Western Empire. Yes, except for the warehouses in Jiangning City and the warehouses in Yandong Province, the grain trading companies do not have warehouses in other places. This grain industry is originally a very low-profit industry, but now it still needs various expenses. It is not an easy task to make a profit, so a huge granary must be built nearby. At that time, Li Cong will just open a teleportation point directly, and it will be easier to handle tens of millions of tons of grain every time, which is an absolute reduction in operating costs.
"Shopkeeper Cui, what does this mean? Why are you still carrying so many grain seeds? We also have these here." Mr. Dai's youngest son, Dai Li, is the Dai family who is responsible for accompanying Mr. Cui. The warrior-quality son is also managing the Dai family's property in the Western Empire. Although the profit is only a little bit every year, it is worthwhile to make up for it in the past. Now it is different from before. The property in his hands is the biggest profitable product of the Dai family so far, so he must pay attention to it now.
"Hehe, Young Master Dai, these are not ordinary seeds. I know that your Dai family belongs to the big landlords here. Not counting the large amount of cultivated land I just gave you Dai's family, you also have a lot of cultivated land in your own hands. I don't know how much your mu yield is?" Mr. Cui said with a big smile. In Jiangning City, Li Cong had already reclaimed tens of millions of hectares of land to start planting this kind of grain. At the beginning, he also surprised Cui Boss, how could such powerful grain seeds appear.
"This seems to be different because of the weather and people, but four to five hundred catties of grain per mu should be no problem." This is basically the output in this era, and this kind of seed has been grown for many years. There are no improved ones, and this can only be achieved with watered arable land. Others that exceed 300 catties are almost non-existent.
"That's it. This productivity is really too low." Often with Li Cong, Cui Boss' words have also begun to improve. When Li Cong said these things to himself, he also felt that he was I'm a bumpkin, but now seeing that the people in front of me are bumpkins, I don't need to mention how satisfied I am, "In our place, the yield can basically reach more than 1,000 catties per mu. These are the seeds we gave you. , These things are estimated to be enough for one-third of your family's arable land, you can try a small amount." Cui Lao said with a big smile, these seeds are basically not passed on to the outside world, which directly gave this guy so much , No one would believe this if it was given in vain.
"I'm really grateful to shopkeeper Cui. If there is anything in our territory, just tell me directly. Although our Dai family is not as good as before, the relationship in all aspects is still fine. If there is anything that needs help, just say it. Now, we will be a family in the future." This Dai Li is also a guy with a very good brain, and he soon realized that he must have something to ask for from him. After taking so many benefits, this may be another one of the Dai family. For the hope of rising, I should also contribute.
"Hehe, it's actually a bit embarrassing to talk about such a thing when we meet for the first time, but we really can't find anyone else except you. The most basic business of our Cao's House is the grain business, but this transportation is A big problem, we can use airships in Warcraft Mountains, but it’s not very good to use airships here, so we want to build a huge warehouse here, use the team to get food, It is also possible to carry out large-scale purchases locally." Mr. Cui said with a big smile, which also implies that we will purchase all the food in your family in the future, and a smart person like Dai Li will naturally understand these things. Say it, but I also understand what is embarrassing. It must be that the official side has not figured it out. Now the Western Empire is still different from the Northern Empire. The officials in the Northern Empire are pretty good. It's different. Corruption is rife. If it weren't for the fact that the empire still has some foundations, this large-scale peasant uprising would be very powerful. It must be that they also gave away money. .
"It's no problem, it's all on us." Dai Li patted his chest and said, this kind of thing is still no problem for the Dai family. He also knows that the Cao family also wants to try it, so you can't wear it The elder Jia said it himself, when it is really useful, you have to give it a try. Everyone can speak kung fu, but boss Cui's way of doing things is very comfortable for the Dai family, knowing that this is a test , but if this matter is done, not only will they owe themselves a favor. And I can also dispose of my own food. Now the Dai family’s rent is 30% a year, and a large amount of food will be accumulated every year. If there is no good channel to sell it, it will be hoarded every year. Not much, some old food has to be thrown away, isn't it a waste? That's it. There are a lot of things you can do if you directly exchange for silver.
"Master Dai is really a straightforward person. Let's settle this matter like this. I'm busy so I won't bother you. Later, we will come over and discuss cooperation with the Dai family." Boss Cui He said with a smile, Xiao Si over there has come to tell him that those people have all boarded the airship, and now they can take off at any time.
"It seems that shopkeeper Cui is really busy with things, so I don't want to keep you in vain. If shopkeeper Cui has time some other day, just come over directly. I will definitely let shopkeeper Cui have a good taste of our fine wine. Yes." She has everything ready, so naturally she won't waste time eating here. Didn't he have a meal? The two said a few hypocritical words, and they were considered separated. Several people surrounded Cui Boss and walked towards the berth of the airship outside the city.
"What? They want such a big piece of land..." Not long after Boss Cui left, Second Dai looked at the paperwork in his hand, no wonder these guys can't get down, damn it. Is this called a warehouse? Even if it is for storing military rations, there is no such a large warehouse. Damn, this warehouse must at least store tens of millions of tons of large warehouses. This guy really won’t do it if he doesn’t do it. I thought it was just a small piece of land. Now it seems that I can't solve it by myself, so let's find the old man.
Now that Li Cong has established the direction of development, he will naturally not make small troubles, and spread out his own spies on a large scale. This is what he wants to start. The huge grain warehouse is his first step. Where will my own grain store be opened in the future? Wherever my power will expand, one day as long as there are people, it will be my Li Cong's world.
Seeing the airship getting up slowly, the hearts of the people on the airship calmed down. Zhang Shuang died directly this time, and the rest of them were more or less injured. It's not impossible to continue to come in and kill monsters, but you have to work harder than others. Forget it, don't even think about it. Maybe the sixth child has already thought of their destination.
Indeed, at this moment Li Cong was looking at the more than 3,000 people in front of him in a secret base in the north of Jiangning City. These people were ordinary people. They were ordinary people before, but now they are not ordinary people. They have already become first-class fighters. If an ordinary person becomes a first-class fighter, it will take a lot of expensive medicines to make pills. Even if Li Cong is a pharmacist, it will cost a lot Li Cong asked them to come back at this moment to train these people. He would use pills to build up his own trusted troops. Soldiers taking genetic potions will have no effect at all. If you want to build your own team, Then the genetic medicine is an indispensable thing. What Li Cong wants is for ordinary people to slowly make these people stronger after taking the genetic medicine. Although it may take twenty or even thirty years, but These people will be absolutely loyal to themselves, and will not do any betrayal, this alone is worth it.
There are a total of 3054 people here, and each of them has been taking decoction for a month in the place where they live. These are all things to adapt their physique. After taking the elixir, they all need some decoction to take good care of them Otherwise, they might not be able to adapt to their body. In the past, they knew that they were ordinary people, and it was impossible for them to achieve anything. But today, their master gave them a second life. Although a All of them are first-class fighters, but everyone knows the gap between first-class fighters and ordinary people. That's a gap of tens of thousands of meters. How can everyone not be excited?
It costs very little to buy a slave. These people are bought by Li Cong from slave merchants. They usually have some battle axes. Although these people's bodies are weak, they are all temporary. Silver, this is much cheaper than ordinary slaves. This is mainly because slaves like prisoners of war are not very easy to sell. These people are not very cooperative. If they are placed in the homes of ordinary people, who would know? In the end, who is the slave and who is the slave owner, so most people will not buy prisoners of war and return them as their own slaves. They are all bought by big families who have their own army watching them.
These prisoners of war bought for less than 20,000 silver have cost Li Cong no old and young. They have come back to recuperate for a month, and every meal is full of big fish and meat. How about it? If you take good care of your body, the domineering power of the pill alone can kill them. It is not a joke to experiment with human life. Li Cong himself is a very caring person . Some magicians often experiment with humans, but they don't care about these people's life or death. Anyway, it was bought for a few taels of silver. There is a shortage of everything in this continent, but there is no shortage of people. As long as you throw out the money by yourself, someone will always come to send these slaves. Whatever you want to test is up to you things.
It took Li Cong more than 30,000 taels of silver to take care of each of them for a month, and then it was time to take the elixir. This elixir was discovered by Li Cong himself, and the name Li Cong was called Shaping Pill. There is still a very obvious difference from Zhujidan, which is modified from the prescription of Zhujidan. So far, the effect is still very good. Li Cong refines this thing by himself, and the cost of each one is still high. Nearly 15,000 taels of silver, the more than three thousand is more than 50 million taels of silver, this is the second stage. How can it not cost money to build your own army? Although Li Cong's heart is bleeding, he can only endure it when he thinks of the usefulness of these guys in the future. Should we use those unreliable people? OK.
However, Li Cong's experiment was very successful, and none of these people failed. All of them have become first-level fighters, and the next step is to shape their meridians. It will be too slow for these people to gradually reach fifth-level fighters one by one. It will take at least decades. Warriors are useless to Li Cong, so Li Cong wants to turn them all into fifth-level fighters, which requires a lot of things. However, after Li Cong became a five-clawed golden dragon, he knew a lot about how to use the power in the magic core. He could use an alchemy furnace to extract some of the power in the magic core, so that they could take it slowly. In a short period of time, all of them will become fifth-level fighters, but the cost is also huge. At least a dozen kinds of auxiliary medicinal materials are needed. Each of these elixirs, not counting Li Cong's own labor costs, requires nearly Three hundred thousand silver.
Li Cong is so cruel that this money is nothing, his ability to make money is much stronger than this, so he just took it out, isn't it just 900 million taels of silver, what he has, he has robbed so many small towns One by one is no problem, so people have discovered in the past few days that the Cao's trading house is buying a large number of not very expensive medicines, and they don't know what they are going to do. They seem to have important uses, and what they want is also They are all in a hurry. Li Cong will not explain this to them. Anyway, it is normal for the trading company to ask for some things. The money is enough. It doesn’t matter if each of you has any ideas. This is not the way to buy things in the trading houses.
It is not so easy to pass this level. Many people have lost the confidence they had at the beginning. Li Cong also clearly knows that many of the more than 3,000 people may be eliminated in this level. Yes, now is the most critical time. Just now, many people have carried dozens of people out in the past. They are the ones who failed. After the failure, they don't even have an ordinary person's body. For a lifetime, it is basically impossible to do some heavy physical work. Li Cong has also made proper arrangements for these people, so that these people can study hard and work as a bookkeeper in his grain store in the future. It's still very good, these people still have very good brains after all.
When Gao Feng and his airship came over, there were already 200 people who had failed. Li never thought of this number. What did he do wrong? When Gao Feng and the others came down, they saw Several people were pushed out by the weak, and they were also very surprised, how could the sixth child have such a great ability. Although they had a lot of questions on the road, Boss Cui would not answer, although Yang Qiu I know, but she won't say anything without Li Cong's consent. In the past few days, she has really realized that these people will be very loyal to Li Cong, but she is still used to asking Li Cong about many things. Do things later, otherwise it may cause misunderstandings, after all, I don't know what Li Cong thinks.
"My friends. You are welcome to come back. I'm really sorry. I did something wrong at the beginning. If I didn't ask you to go to Far Lake, maybe no one would have such a thing. Zhang Shuang is my good brother, and I also I don't want him to leave like that, I'm really sorry for you." Li Cong said in tears. Although this matter didn't have much to do with him, but anyway, he chose to go to that place in the first place. It's not just Zhang Shuang's problem, even the few living guys are not in good health.
"Hehe, it's clear on days like this. Since we chose this path, we have nothing to regret. I think Zhang Shuang is also very clear, so how could we blame you? After all, if it weren't for you If we hadn’t, we might have died a long time ago.” Li Gang tilted his head and said, he was really tired at this time, thinking about it. The most glorious time of being a mercenary has passed by himself, and he should live a peaceful life in the future. All this can only be remembered when he is captured.
"Yes, Zhang Shuang will understand. As mercenaries, we don't know where our way is, old six. What are you doing here, who are you, forget it? Let's not ask , We don’t want to know about these things anymore, what we want now is to take our pension and find a place to rest well, and I think we will spend the rest of the day enjoying ourselves.” Hong Zhan looked at The small house in the distance said. After he asked about it, he regretted it. The matter of the sixth child is beyond their control. In fact, this time they are really tired and a little scared. They all hope that they can push it out properly.
Although Hong Zhan didn't explain clearly, Li Cong also understood that they didn't want to get involved with their own affairs. Li Cong nodded heavily. From the very beginning, he didn't tell them everything, and he was hiding everything. Now that they have suffered such a big loss, they must also understand how to go in the future. Yes, Li Cong also knows.
"I respect the choices of the brothers, but you will give me a message wherever you go, and I will find you if there is nothing wrong in the future." Li Cong smiled and handed over the bank notes one by one to them. What I want is to let them help me train these newcomers, but it seems impossible now, these people have no fighting spirit, and all they think about is how to rest.
"Hehe, we won't leave for the time being. This much money is enough for a few lifetimes. We don't want to just find a county town and live like that. We also want to have a good time for a while. There are many people around here. The place where we can spend the most money, we will all stay in Jiangning City for a while, and we can get together when we have time." Hong Zhan took his own money and turned around and said, he knew that the money Li Cong gave was not only It was the money they had in the forest back then, and it was a lot more. He would never have held the money in the past. After all, the money was cheap from his brothers, so he can't care about so much now. They will not enter the Warcraft Mountains in the future, and their source of livelihood may be gone, so they all need the money.
Li Cong looked at the backs of these brothers. Although he had not known Gao Feng for a long time, Li Cong could also tell that Gao Feng was a little tired of the Warcraft Mountains. They are all good mercenaries, and they all have their own. A good life and aspirations, but it is a pity that all of this is because I have become a little bit bad, and they don't know what to do one by one, and they all returned to the realm that they shouldn't have. It was caused, and now Li Cong also knows that it is useless to make up for it, so he can only stand behind them and silently say to them, "I wish you all the best."
"They are all my best brothers. Find someone to watch them. If there is any difficulty, try to help." Li Cong said to several intelligence personnel around him, and several people went to follow them immediately , this is the highest task.
"Actually, they will have a good life like this. You don't need to be sad." Yang Qiu came from behind and hugged Li Cong. Indeed, Li Cong was really uncomfortable and weak at this moment. I need someone to comfort myself. This person is Yang Qiu. Yang Qiu actually understands them very well. To put it bluntly, Hong Zhan and his men are not on the same level as their men. What they want to live is their own kind of little people. Although they feel very excited to be in contact with people like Li Cong, what is the real situation. The danger is also hundreds of times more dangerous than usual, which cannot be explained clearly.
"I have affected the life process of too many people, and sometimes this is really a big sense of guilt." Li Cong held Yang Qiu in his arms with his backhand. At this moment, Li Cong felt so fulfilled, In fact, did I want a little more? Li Cong also began to doubt what he needed, but soon Li Cong threw out the distracting thoughts that had just arisen. There are too many things that I don't need, and those things can affect them and absolutely can't affect themselves. Because if you want to be a master of others, if you want to have no other people in your head, if you want to be the king of all these things, then you have to face these.
"Many people's fate can only be influenced by others, but many people's entry into the city is to influence others. If I were asked to choose, I hope that I am the one who is influenced by others, but I don't want my man to be influenced by others. I am the same, I hope you can be the one who influences others." Yang Qiu said in Li Cong's arms. These words are what Yang Qiu really wants to say. She is different from other girls. She hopes that Li Cong can realize her wish and become an upright person.
"Thank you." Everything was said in silence, the wind began to blow in the sky, and looking at the disappearing figure, Li Cong seemed to know what it means to be in debt. For these brothers, Li Cong really owed them a little, and they should also need to rest.
After a night of rest, when Li Cong woke up the next day, he was not as sad as yesterday, but Yang Qiu hadn't adapted to being a woman yet, she was still in her own quilt, she was very tired. But I didn't want to fall asleep at all, and now thinking about what happened last night felt very absurd and strange, but didn't I just look forward to this in the past?
"Slacker, don't stay on the bed. There are still a lot of things to do today. I'm going to send someone to the Yang family to propose a marriage. You're going to be my third wife. Don't you want to see how they prepared?" ?” The procedures that should be followed still have to be followed, although Yang Qiu and the Yang family are very at odds, but after all, it is still the Yang family, Yang Qiu’s natal family, and Yang Qiu’s mother, all of which will be resolved It is impossible for Yang Qiu and the Yang family to be inextricably linked so easily. Yang Qiu is not that kind of girl, and she still remembers her there.
Sure enough, I heard Li Cong say that Yang Qiu exposed his head from under the quilt, "Go out, I want to get dressed." Her words made Li Cong feel very funny, why did he ask himself to go out? Going out, I haven't seen anything on your body, do you still need to do this? However, Li Cong is still very understanding. It is one thing to turn off the lights and do such a thing, but it is another thing to expose yourself in broad daylight. This is not so easy to explain.
When Li Cong came out, he also thought about his cooperation with the Yang family. In fact, he would never have cooperated with the Yang family without Yang Qiu. First of all, the Yang family is too deep-rooted in Yandong Province, so powerful that a I don't know how to calculate their status. I am slowly developing, but everyone in Yandong Province knows that what the past few people have done on my side will have a quick one on their side. Cleared, such a partner probably no one wants.
The Yang family is considered to be a famous family in the empire. Of course, compared with the status of the Tuoba family in the Western Empire, it has declined somewhat, but it is definitely much stronger than the Cao family. It is said that the Cao family has risen rapidly in recent years. He is a wealthy family, but it can only be regarded as rising. The emperor will not give the Cao family any rights in some relatively powerful aspects. The most important one is the fiefdom and private army. Li Cong is now the seat of the son-in-law and the earl , but only has the authority to form an army of 10,000, the princess herself has 20,000 troops, but the emperor did not plan to form a private army for the princess, but sent it directly from the capital, saying it was to protect the princess, But Li Cong felt that those people seemed to come to look at him, and these people were not fools.
Yang Qiu is a very important member of the Yang family, so this betrothal gift cannot be the same as that given to Cui Xian'er back then. When Li Cong handed over the betrothal gift to Cui Xian'er, he spent hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. After all, the Cui family was just a wealthy family in a county at that time, and it was not the top leader. The Yang family is different. The Yang family is the number one wealthy family in Yandong Province, even in the entire empire. The number is also very powerful, this gift cannot be taken lightly.
There are eleven old people in the Yang family, and Li Cong is very proud of his actions. Of course, it has absolutely something to do with Li Cong himself being a pharmacist. Li Cong refined eleven longevity pills for them. It’s very precious, it costs millions of silver for the material alone, if you take this one out, if you pay five million taels of silver, no one will sell it to you, old people have one for each of them, this It can be regarded as a big handwriting, and this is only the first one on Li Cong's gift list.
The second one is for Yang Qiu's mother. It is two sets of red crystal head jewelry. The preciousness of this thing can be said to be similar to that of diamonds on the earth. This pair of head jewelry costs one hundred thousand silver. There are also a few pieces of monster fur, all of which are above level seven monsters. Although the Yang family has plenty of these things, it will not be Yang Qiu's mother's turn. These real things are very good, I believe Yang Qiu will be satisfied.
One is for the entire Yang family. Ten carts of all kinds of precious items will be sent there by airship. There is another rule here that Yang Qiu is going back at this time. She is a married woman. According to the local customs, after the engagement, you have to go back to live, and you are not allowed to send it back until you get married. Although Li Cong was very reluctant, especially after he just got Yang Qiu, Li Cong was even more reluctant, but he didn't. The method is a custom there, isn't it?
At the beginning, Yang Qiu was still looking at these gifts with great interest. Although many people were not very familiar with them, but when they got married, they were also their mother’s family, and they would have some concerns in their hearts, but I didn’t expect it. It was because I was about to leave Li Cong, and the little face appeared immediately. She just became a woman, and she was excited to put it bluntly, and it disappeared immediately. Can the feeling get better? (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation. )
