Chapter 433: The Way to Make Money

After sending away the hunter uncle, Shi Lei had a little personal guard force left around him, but there were two little guys, Dumao and Xiaojin, and the standard humanoid murder weapon of the bear, Shi Lei was completely confident, even in the face of a large-scale siege, he could calmly break out of the formation, and there was no need to worry much about safety, besides, he would stay in the barracks most of the time.

For the time being, he couldn't carry out his own plan, so Shi Lei put more thought into really subduing his subordinates. Since you want to run Guangzhou into your own rear, you must take care of it from top to bottom, and it is best to pinch it into an iron plate, so as not to drop the chain at the critical moment.

If you want to really mingle with those government soldiers, it's better to eat and live together, anyway, in his official residence, there is nothing worth nostalgic, there is no soft girl to hold in his arms, and there is no clothes to reach out for food to open his mouth to enjoy the good days. There are only a few rough old men who are following him, so it is better to stay in the barracks honestly.

I don't know if Shi Lei's prestige has been too strong recently, and when his soldiers first saw him, they behaved like grandsons one by one, so that he couldn't succeed in trying to play on the topic, and if he wanted to fully integrate into it, he could only adopt the stupid method of sharing weal and woe.

Although his understanding of the twists and turns of people's hearts is still extremely limited, it does not prevent Shi Lei from becoming a veteran of commanding the army.

Coupled with strong strength and a deep background, the people under your command know that they are very promising and comfortable to mix with you, and they don't worry that their talents will be buried, so naturally there will be a lot of subordinates who are willing to work hard for you.

While crawling with his subordinates, Shi Lei will always find some time to go out for a walk, and it will be boring to stay in the barracks all the time. More importantly, he wanted to find some inspiration in this way.

Haven't you been embarrassed by money recently, this is a feeling that I haven't experienced for a long time, especially in the past two years out of Yazhou, I feel that my family background is very rich, I didn't expect that there will be a day when I will experience a penny that is difficult for a hero, so his desire to make money and even resentment have never been so strong.

Although the city of Guangzhou is much less developed than other large cities in the world, such as Chang'an and Yizhou, it is also a city that integrates diverse cultures, and there are also goods from all over the world.

It's just that the fault at this level is more serious, except for top luxury goods such as pearls and ivory, which are common things such as various daily necessities needed by ordinary people, and a large piece is missing in the middle.

Shi Lei was interested in starting in this regard, but after asking about the situation, Shi Lei decisively gave up this idea. It's not that no one wants to sell those mid-range things, but the consumer market here in Guangzhou is relatively deformed, and there is a lack of middle-class households.

Either it is a craftsman from the bottom, or a spokesperson for the nobles, or a guy at the top of the food chain like a fanmer, no one buys those mid-range products, and naturally no one will sell them.

After thinking about it, Shi Lei still put the idea on the body of animal products, he has an animal modification system in his body, and if he uses his brain on it, it will naturally have the effect of doing twice the result with half the effort.

Things like ivory and rhinoceros horn must be in demand, and they don't have to worry about not being able to sell at a high price, but the growth of this thing must take a long time, even if it is an animal modification system, it can't violate the laws of nature, and it can't make a baby elephant grow an African elephant's tusks in a year or two, and it's the same for a rhinoceros.

Although there is really no shortage of these big guys in today's Lingnan, who makes the overall temperature of today's Datang world much higher than that of later generations, and the development of cultivated land is not as exaggerated as that of later generations, and there are still a large number of forests with more suitable temperatures and conditions.

Therefore, big creatures such as elephants and rhinoceros can still be found on the side of the Yellow River, such as Yizhou, not to mention Lingnan, and there are even records of disasters from time to time.

Shi Lei was able to start so quickly in Yazhou, thanks to the contributions of these big guys, hunting these big guys in Guangzhou, of course, is also a way to make money, but Shi Lei's manpower is still a little less, and in his opinion, it is definitely not as fast as playing black and eating black to make money, so he put this on the second option.

Wait until the surrounding bandits and bandits are almost wiped out, or they all run out of their own territory, and then it's not too late to attack these big guys.

After all, their attack power is also very good, and the so-called wide distribution is only a relative concept, in this kind of high mountains and dense forests, if you really want to find them, it also takes a lot of effort, and sometimes you have to rely on luck, far less than those famous bandits have a clear goal.

And Shi Lei believes that they must have helped collect it, the valuable items that Shi Lei wants, their thieves' nests are more like small treasures to Shi Lei.

The harvest of one is enough for his subordinates to follow the elephant and the rhinoceros for a month or two, and the speed of making a fortune is not an order of magnitude.

Since their own military strength is so superior, it is natural to choose this riskier but more rewarding way to plunder wealth.

Putting these things aside, what Shi Lei really values is another thing, a good thing that all beauty-loving girls can't resist, whether it is made into jewelry or for medicinal purposes, there are extremely valuable things, that is, pearls.

The principle of pearl production, for Shi Lei from later generations, is a common sense thing, nothing more than a foreign body into the body of the pearl oyster, and then the pearl oyster was stimulated, and worked hard to secrete those pearl substances, wrapping these foreign bodies, which is a defense mechanism of the body, but accidentally produced this natural biological gem.

Jewelry, jewelry, this pearl is to be put in front of all gemstones, and it has a history of so many years, and it has always been loved by women.

The discovery and picking of pearls is a very difficult thing, with the current conditions, there must be people who are proficient in water to dive with their breath, find shellfish containing pearls, and try their best to pick the pearls, and then pull the rope tied to the waist, so that the people on the boat quickly pull them up.

Many times with the rope floated up, there is only a pool of blood, these pearl divers will often die in the belly of the fish, so it can be said that every pearl has condensed the blood and tears of many people, which is especially rare.

And among these pearls, there are very few that can really be regarded as high-grade, so the price of those Hepu beads can be so high to such an incredible extent.

Of course, since it was Shi Lei who made the shot, there was no need to be so troublesome at all, at least there was no need to rely on luck to find out which pearl oyster was material, and it could also ensure that the quality of the pearl was relatively high. Because he has an animal modification system in place, and he plans to raise pearls. (To be continued.) )
