As for the direction of transformation, it must still be determined according to what they are good at. Of course, the pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info is not a job that he is good at on the surface, the work of a mason and carpenter, and he does not need a physical fitness that is strong to a non-human level, Shi Lei is based on their combat ability.

Don't look at them now, they are all old now, they are really ruthless, and ordinary practitioners may not be able to withstand it, they are used to doing black work, they can always take the lives of the enemy at the smallest cost, and most of the old injuries on their bodies come from this.

Most of these people are good at taking people's lives between square inches, more similar to the agents and professional killers of later generations, and there are only a few who take the route of opening and closing, so agility is also the direction they focus on transformation.

Seeing the excitement and joy from the heart when they experienced a new body, Shi Lei felt quite relieved. Improving their living conditions, and even allowing them to have the life they yearn for, will be the direction of Shi Lei's efforts in the future, and it is also the promise he made silently in his heart for these loyal subordinates who have dedicated most of their lives to their families.

Temporarily put aside this matter, the construction of the tulou with the participation of these trustworthy subordinates, there is nothing to worry about, those hidden work, there are also people to complete, Shi Lei can once again be his hands-off shopkeeper, put aside the tulou business, and put his energy into other aspects.

These professional laborers are not complicated, as long as they are willing to work hard, the speed will not be very slow, it is still very powerful, especially the foundation and stone wall, the speed is quite fast, it is definitely a day to change, this change speed is a bit beyond Shi Lei's expectations.

Just when the stone wall was completely built and ready to start using Sanhe soil to heighten, he rushed back to Chang'an's own caravan with many top luxury goods obtained from the merchants, and rushed back again.

Of course, they will not come back empty-handed, hard currencies such as gold and silver are indispensable, and if they want to do business in Guangzhou and the whole of Lingnan, they cannot do without these red goods.

Something like a copper coin, the face value is small and dead, as long as you bring some for the usual expenses, it doesn't need a large amount.

A small amount of home-produced luxury goods, there must also be a must, although there are no rich people here in Guangzhou, but no matter how small the mosquito is, it is also meat, and it is really not good to do the business of the merchants.

Things like purple clay pots, as well as sacred objects like tea, are also indispensable. Even if it's just for Shi Lei to use, or to give it to his colleagues, it's good.

These things are very famous in the upper echelons of Datang, and I believe that these colleagues will be very interested in them. In such a cramped place as Guangzhou, it is not so easy to get these things, after all, there is no tradition of tea trade in Guangzhou now.

However, what Shi Lei cares about the most is actually the chili pepper that he specially transported from Chang'an, and it is also the pepper he strongly requests. As an authentic foodie, everything else can actually be endured, but this food can't be tolerated, especially when his own family has this condition to satisfy his appetite.

Fortunately, the housekeeper and uncle have long known about Shi Lei's hobby, and when Yu Linglong and they came over, the cook who was sent over to serve him full-time brought a lot of chili noodles alone, so Shi Lei did not continue to suffer.

Of course, it is not entirely to satisfy Shi Lei's selfishness, and the caravan is also going to open a "Duyiwei" semicolon in Guangzhou City.

Although Guangzhou City does not have the top wealthy, there are still many people above the middle class, after all, it is a trade-oriented city, and there are still many people who benefit from it.

Although limited by the degree of development of Guangzhou City, there is still a big gap between their living standards and the hinterland of the Central Plains, but this does not delay their infinite yearning for a better life.

And according to Shi Lei's observation, these people are still very willing to spend money on food and drink, and the reason why this place can become a well-known foodie paradise in later generations, and even has the reputation of the hometown of chefs, is all due to historical traditions, so their own restaurant business is not far from coming.

As for the other ingredients needed by his own family, such as the special broiler chicken that can also be used as a unique secret, there is no need to transport it all the way from Chang'an, because Shi Lei's transformation ability has become much stronger now, a thousand cubic meters a day, and with the population base of Guangzhou City, he is not afraid that it will not be enough for them to eat.

As for the chickens, ducks and geese that Shi Lei transformed in order to upgrade the system, as well as many ingredients such as field chickens, it should not be a big problem to meet the needs of the early stage.

However, since it is a caravan rather than a cook's caravan, there must still be a need to do other transactions, and it is a more important purpose to open up a stable trade route.

The last time I came to Guangzhou, I bought that batch of top-grade raw materials, but I made my family taste a lot of sweetness and made a lot of money from it. This time, I naturally wanted to buy more top-quality goods. Even if the share of Fanshang is mostly divided by the spokespersons of other nobles.

Even if they are still engaged in a tug-of-war with Fanshang, they can't run over and intervene in violation of the unspoken rules, which means that these goods have no chance with their own.

However, Guangzhou is also the commodity distribution center of the whole Lingnan, and in the environment of Lingnan, it is not enough to count on the merchants to have good things such as ivory and rhino horn, and their advantages are more in spices and slaves.

Because there is no shortage of elephants and rhinoceros in Lingnan, it is not too difficult to buy these good things from the locals, and the price is cheaper than those obtained by the merchants, but the quality may be slightly inferior to those shipped from the distant African continent.

But at most, it is to be used in the second-level goods, and when pricing, it is necessary to be flexible, and the profit in it has also multiplied.

Of course, in fact, Yizhou can also provide a lot of such goods, but compared to Lingnan, the quantity is much smaller, and most of them have been monopolized by themselves.

In addition, there is another advantageous product here, that is, the Hepu pearl that is also regarded as the meat of the heart by the three mothers-in-law of the family. Guangzhou and Hepu are not too far away, at least much closer than from Chang'an, and it is also very profitable to purchase more Hepu pearls from here.

Finally, there is still a shortage of special silk at home, the thousand acres of mulberry forest in Guangzhou is really powerful, the growth of this mulberry silkworm is indeed fast, and the second crop of special silk is about to go on the market. It is also a good idea to let your caravan return to Chang'an more often, and it can also further consolidate your position and market share in top clothing.

As soon as the caravan was settled here, there was good news over there, and the ocean-going ships that Shi Lei had ordered early were about to be completed. And the flagship, which was the first to pay off, will be able to be launched in the next few days. Shi Lei's sailing dream is about to come true. (To be continued.) )
