"Look at your appearance, we are not idle at home, and the harvest is not smaller than yours, I tell you." The blacksmith uncle next to him said a little unwillingly.

Seeing the glances of the butler and the hunter uncle, the blacksmith uncle glared back with a confident expression.

"Don't believe me, let the stone speak to you." Uncle Blacksmith also knew that his reputation for the loudspeaker was outstanding, so he wisely chose to let Shi Lei come to it.

"By the way, Uncle Housekeeper, don't forget to let us farmers pay attention to confidentiality, whether it is their own skills, or the origin of raw materials, this is our money bag, we must control it." Shi Lei did not answer Uncle Blacksmith's words, but talked about something else, deliberately hanging Uncle Blacksmith's appetite.

"The farmers all know that they can feed their children and grandchildren, and they must see that their lives are more important than their own lives." Uncle Housekeeper said unhurriedly.

Shi Lei forgot that at this time, people valued their skills more than anything else, and they didn't need to be reminded at all.

"Besides, even if others know the raw materials we use, it's not a big deal, and they don't have the ability to do as well as us." Uncle Housekeeper added confidently.

"Well, that's right. These things are the time to make a name, and they must be carefully crafted. The amount should not be too large, scarce things are expensive, we have to raise their status. ”

"In addition to those in-demand goods on the next trip, do you want to try to transport Yayu to Yizhou?" The butler asked.

Yayu, a thing that relies on fresh and delicious food to win the world, is not fresh, and it will definitely lose a lot of color. However, if the live fish wants to be transported to Yizhou, which is hundreds of miles away, it is definitely unrealistic to transport it by land like the first time in business.

Even if it is transported by water, the freight cost alone is not a small number. For Shi Lei, who has just started development, they can't afford it. That is, the harvest of this trip is rich enough, and the housekeeper uncle has the confidence to make such a suggestion.

"It's better not to do it first, when we get back to Yizhou, we will gain a firm foothold in Yizhou, and then consider making Yayu by ourselves." Shi Lei thought about it and gave up.

"What about my thoughts, let's develop these, so that all the farmers can live a good life, just let these skilled people get rich first, or not, and other farmers who don't have a skill can't be idle."

Shi Lei's words made several uncles agree very much, and they are all very warm-hearted. The head of the family has everyone in his heart, and he does not forget about others because he makes money.

"The chickens, ducks, and pigs you bought are also for this, right? I didn't buy it because I was too troublesome. Uncle Housekeeper remembered Shi Lei's entrustment before leaving, and said with some regret.

"It's okay, I didn't think about it before, and it was too unrealistic to buy these living creatures from Yizhou and bring them back. You can't just bring back the dead ones, just don't buy them.

We have money, isn't it better to buy it from Yazhou, it's cheaper than Yizhou, and it's good luck to come back. Shi Lei hurriedly admitted his mistake first.

"During the time the caravan went out, I also taught a lot of people some snacks or something, not to mention how rich they are, it's no problem to make a living with a round belly.

In addition, I also thought about letting these farmers go out and exercise. In the future, the size of the caravan will definitely get bigger and bigger, and the manpower can also be replenished from these people. At that time, they will all be familiar with business, and they will be easy to use. Shi Lei said his plan.

"A lot of the food taught by the stone is something I have never eaten in my life. I don't know how he came up with so many weird delicacies. Especially that stinky tofu, you must try it.

During that time, each family ate a different bite of food, and it didn't take a few to get full, and I had a round stomach every day. Uncle Blacksmith patted his stomach with a look of reminiscence.

"That's good, go back and let them get ready, and go to Yizhou with the next caravan." Uncle Housekeeper said happily.

"But in this way, the manpower to collect mountain goods is not enough, will there be less caravan goods in the future?" Uncle Housekeeper said with a little worry.

"I've also taken this into consideration, I think we can collect all kinds of mountain goods from the people around us, as well as other mountain people. These people are all good hands when they enter the mountains, and they must have a lot of good goods in their hands. Shi Lei did think about this.

Yazhou, where the population composition is very complex, is not only Han people. Thinking about the situation of these mountain people, it should not be very optimistic, or there will not be so many records of the rebellion of the mountain people. It's not that they can't survive anymore, and no one likes to do this kind of head-killing business.

Finding them to buy things just solves the troubles of both parties, which is a win-win situation. As long as you go with your sincerity, it shouldn't be difficult to open up the situation.

"Well, that's a good idea, and our family really has a bit of a friendship with these mountain people. I'll get in touch with a few people I know well, and they'll be eager for us to go over. Uncle Butler affirmed.

It seems that this friendship is not ordinary, is it the road paved by my father again? Whatever, the road at home is so wild, it doesn't seem to be a bad thing.

"That's great, we don't just do business, we can't exploit people for temporary interests. It would be better if we could establish a deeper friendship with the mountain people, so that others would have no choice if they wanted to do the same business as us, and the monopoly business would be the best to make. Shi Lei added.

"But what I'm more worried about is that if we do this, will it affect the relationship with the surrounding garrisons? If their interests are involved, it will not be easy to do. Shi Lei said with some concern.

There are so many military towns around, and no one can believe them if they have no connection with these mountain people. Moreover, they are also a huge community of interests, and if they dig into the corners of other people's walls, even if they have a good relationship with the military leaders, it will be a troublesome matter.

"Don't worry, these guys can't go hungry with the passing merchants. Their hands could not reach into the side of the mountain people, and it was not once or twice that they fought to the death.

By doing this, we not only didn't get in their way, but we also helped them a lot. These mountain people have a better life, so there are not so many people who play with the military town, and the trade routes can be smoothed a lot, don't they have more oil and water.

It's not like I haven't done business with the mountain people before, but these guys are vampires at all. Relying on his own business, the price he gave was not enough to pass the meal. As a result, everyone was cut down by the angry mountain people, and now they have all become the dung of fierce beasts.

Then the people of the military town were ordered to cut off some heads of the mountain people and come back, which is the process of the so-called mountain people's rebellion in the previous times.

This happened a few more times, and as a result, no one wanted to do business with them anymore. Uncle Housekeeper's words made Shi Lei completely relieved, and our relationship is already the only one in this business.

"Then we have to do this business with sincerity, but we can't do it as a hammer deal, and we can't do stupid things like those vampires to kill chickens and eggs." Shi Lei advised.

"Let me tell you, our harvest is not only the food, but also the new weapons and armor."

The blacksmith uncle waited for a long time, but he didn't hear Shi Lei talk about his harvest, so he was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks. Shi Lei didn't even get a response, so he just said it himself.

This performance made Shi Lei next to him laugh secretly, and the blacksmith uncle really couldn't hold back. However, Shi Lei managed to hold back and didn't laugh, with a very serious look on his face, but he was actually trying to hold back.

When the housekeeper heard this, he also became serious. Everything else is easy to say, and things related to the family's force must be taken seriously.

For a martial family, everything that can improve the force should be cherished, and it should be ranked first among all things, and money can be put aside first.

"What kind of weapons and armor?" Uncle Housekeeper asked solemnly.

Although the hunter uncle was speechless, he looked at his expression and was clearly paying attention to this matter. The ears were pricked up, and the whole person looked a little guarded, alert to whether there were anyone eavesdropping around. Matters related to force should be regarded as the highest secret of the family, and such secrets must be kept.

Uncle Blacksmith described the process of studying weapons of various shapes before. Of course, it is indispensable to add oil and vinegar, describe the twists and turns of the process, and by the way, highlight his personal image of wisdom and martial arts, which is comparable to the famous storytellers of later generations.

However, the other two uncles, who have long been tired of listening to the blacksmith uncle's words, know how to listen to the blacksmith uncle selectively.

"In addition, I have made the kind of plate armor that the stone said. I came here today to tell the stone the good news. Uncle Blacksmith finally said triumphantly.

"Then what are you waiting for, let's go and see." Uncle Butler couldn't wait to pull Shi Lei and them, so he walked towards the blacksmith shop. If you want to see these new weapons and armor, are they as powerful as Uncle Blacksmith said. After all, hearing is false, seeing is believing, and he still chooses to believe in his eyes.

Although Uncle Blacksmith is known for his big trumpet and loves to brag, he is not going to lie about such a big thing. Especially when it comes to his own craftsmanship, Uncle Blacksmith is never ambiguous or uncompromising, and there is always a yard of a yard.

It's just that the performance of those new weapons that Uncle Blacksmith said has broken through their cognition a bit. This kind of thing is generally an extremely rare divine weapon, the kind that can be famous for thousands of years, and I never thought that there would be a possibility of a large number of them.

Uncle Blacksmith proudly put out all his achievements, and the other two uncles unceremoniously picked up a weapon and began to look at it. And Shi Lei's eyes were focused on the relatively low-key plate armor that looked dull and dull, but at first glance he felt calm enough and reassuring.

Several of the people present can be said to be experts, although not all of them are proficient in iron, but whether a weapon is good or bad, they still know how to look at it.
