Hearing Li Shu's words, Su Shen understood. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds.
There are those who rely on luck to eat, those who make a fortune by plundering, and those who make a living by coolies.
Li Shu is such a person.
This person is not a martial artist, he has no force, and he was able to come to the Emerald Valley or give silver, and he mixed in with a team of warriors.
Although there is no force, this person's brain is still good, and after getting the news that there is a star silver mine in the Emerald Valley, he has made up his mind to make a fortune here. However, he didn't plan to dig for star silver, he didn't have much strength, he didn't dig much, and he couldn't rob others of the place, even if he was lucky enough to find some broken star silver, maybe he would let others snatch it.
So he chose to be a helper, and from the moment he entered the valley, he looked around for a thigh to rely on.
However, his luck is obviously not good, although he has looked for several waves of people before and after, but none of them have taken a fancy to him.
This is mainly because the kid's asking price is really high.
A source stone for five days.
You must know that the value of a source stone is about the same as one tael of red gold, and a shopkeeper usually only earns one tael of red gold for a whole month.
In other words, this kid's asking price is six times the price of a normal person, so it's no wonder that no one wants him.
However, Li Shu insisted on his asking price, believing that he would definitely meet a rich master who could discover his value.
After talking to Li Shu at this moment, Su Shen also smiled.
"If you dare to ask for a price, you are not afraid that I will kill you in a fit of rage. ā
Li Shu hurriedly said: "The adults misunderstood, it's not that the small sky-high asking price, but that the value of the people here is generally three times higher than that outside." ā
"Oh?" Su Shen was stunned.
Li Shu has already said: "My lord, you think, the Emerald Valley is in the depths of the Crimson Mountain Range, there are fierce beasts along the way, the road is difficult, and it is not easy to enter and exit. It's not easy to get here. It's the same workmanship, who would come here?"
Well, who would risk their lives to come here if they weren't full of hope of getting rich?
"So the real price of the small one is not six times as much, but it is actually only two times. Li Shu smiled and raised two fingers.
"It's twice as good, you're pretty calculating. Su Shen couldn't help but laugh at Li Shu's words: "Then why do you charge twice as much money as others?"
"Just by virtue of my ability to write and calculate, I can identify all kinds of minerals. Li Shu replied proudly.
This is an era of emphasizing military force over literature, and the printing cost of books is high, and it is not easy to spread, which further leads to the difficulty of cultural dissemination, even among the middle and upper classes, many of them are illiterate, let alone the lower classes.
Li Shu's literacy is indeed a relatively rare skill.
Su Shen glanced at him with some surprise, then looked around, and said, "But this little skill of yours doesn't seem to be of much use in this place." ā
Li Shu's face flushed.
That's right, what if he can write, how can he calculate, and how can he be flexible?
Here, only strength is the only thing needed.
If you don't have enough strength, you can't keep it even if you get the star silver.
Thinking of this, Li Shu sighed again in his heart.
Just when he thought he had failed again, he heard the young man in front of him say: "But count your luck, you can write and calculate, maybe it will be of some use to me." ā
What the?
Li Shu looked up in surprise.
saw that Su Shen had already walked forward: "Let's use you for a day first, and introduce me to the situation in the Emerald Valley." If you're really capable, and it's exactly what I think it is, I can consider using you officially. ā
Li Shu was overjoyed and hurriedly followed: "Thanks to the love of the lord, Li Shu will do his best to serve the son." By the way, Childe, if you want to say that this Emerald Valley is the easiest place to mine, it is still ......"
Su Shen had already interrupted him and said, "I don't want to know where the most mines are produced here, I just want to know how many people are mining in this Emerald Valley now, how the forces are distributed, and how they eat and wear on weekdays......
Su Shen has made a series of demands.
Li Shu was a little dizzy when he heard this, and he couldn't understand that Su Shen didn't care about the mine, but he cared about what people were doing.
However, this Li Shu really has some ability, although Su Shen's question is a bit tricky, he can still answer most of them:
"Lord Hui, there are about five hundred to six hundred people in Jade at the moment. Thirty-two of them, oh, you are thirty-three. There are more than 400 hunters and warriors, and the rest are ordinary people who have come here to try their luck. ā
"How is the cultivation of those source scholars?"
"I don't know the specifics, but there are three of the most powerful source warriors here, namely the Death Lan Swordsman, the Scarlet Devil Needle Chang Ye, and the Narcissus Zhou Yu Niang. These three people occupy the three most productive mines in the Emerald Valley, and they are all said to be the source of the Boiling Blood Realm. The Death Swordsman is a little withdrawn, he is the only one, and he doesn't like to talk. The two adults, Scarlet Magic Needle and Narcissus, have each gathered some people to mine for them, and at the moment these two groups are the most powerful, but they don't seem to get along with each other. ā
Su Shen was finally a little impressed by Li Shu, and he was able to collect a lot of information in advance, which shows that Li Shu is really a caring person.
Next, Su Shen asked some more questions, but they were all about the situation of the miners in this Emerald Valley, but he was not interested in the Star Silver Mine itself.
While listening, Su Shen was still holding a pen and paper to write on the paper.
After almost understanding, Su Shen handed Li Shu a piece of paper and said, "I'm going to leave for a few days, and I want you to do a good job in my absence." ā
Li Shu took a look, and there was a wooden house painted on it, and the background was in the Emerald Valley.
"Your Lordship wants me to build a house?" Li Shu understood and blurted out.
"Yes, build me a wooden house as the picture requires. You have five days, you find the manpower yourself, this is the money. Su Shen handed Li Shu ten taels of red gold.
He wasn't worried that Li Shu would take the money and run away, and no one dared to rely on Yuan Qishi's account.
"But my lord, you came here, and instead of picking stars and silver, you built a wooden house...... What is this for?"
"I'm not going to pick up the stars. Su Shen replied: "I just plan to open a tavern and grocery store here and do some business." ā
"Do business?taverns and grocery stores?" Li Shu was dumbfounded.
"Yes. Su Shen replied: "Sell wine, sell beast meat, sell mining hoes, sell all the utensils needed for life, pots and pans...... So many people are looking for Xingyin here, they always have to live, right? You can make do with it for a day or two, but after a long time, it will be uncomfortable. There is no one to serve them, so I'll do it. Other than that......"
Su Shen paused and said, "We can also recover Star Silver." Those who have obtained star silver and are afraid of being known, and don't want to be robbed, sell it to me, and exchange it for the needs of life, which is also a good choice. ā
