Chapter 213: Carding (3)
Of course, it would be a bit presumptuous to see this now—and the eyes of the true God are no more than that.
But just like looking far and wide helps improve your eyesight, it will pay dividends over time.
After watching for more than half an hour, his eyes gradually became a little sore, Luo Ming hurriedly turned off the function of energy vision, and used Cangyan to transform his vitality into vitality to repair his eyes before he felt better - it seems that this is similar to watching the screen, you have to take a break after watching it for a long time, otherwise it will hurt your eyes very much.
Next, while resting his eyes, he combed through the harvest of his Brandon party.
No matter what era of the world, a prosperous capital is a land of wealth, a land of opportunity, and in Luo Ming's view, this statement is true.
Of course, there are also people who are very unlucky, such as a follower of Lockin, who wanted to come to Brandon to look for a job, but he couldn't find a job, and as a result, he ran out of money, and even lost his money to return to his hometown, and almost fell to the point of begging.
The guy borrowed some money for living expenses, but he couldn't pay it back, and he almost tied up the lender to be sold as a slave, and in the end it was Luo Ming who helped him pay back the money - but he also signed a deed of sale with Luo Ming.
Of course, Luo Ming is not unlucky, on the contrary, he is very lucky - of course, it is also a skill to be able to turn luck into real gains.
For example, it was a stroke of luck to meet Charlotte in the first place, but escorting her back to Miyana safely, successfully defeating the usurper, and negotiating a good knightly collar from her as a reward, this is what Lormin is capable of.
There are many benefits in Brandon, first of all, money...... Although a lot of money was spent on buying things and hiring people, there were also several payments in the comparative, and Archmage Gandhi gave a lot of money.
Today, in Lockin's brass ring is three hundred gold coins in cash, a number of loose change, and five bills that can be withdrawn from the county town of Vanshei, each representing two hundred gold coins.
Of course, Luo Ming would not be stupid enough to use this money to repay debts directly - although he was from the Celestial Empire before the crossing, he had heard more or less of the term debt management in that information age.
Rely on moderate borrowing to solve the financial problem, repay part of the debt and borrow another debt at the same time, as long as the development can be guaranteed, the creditor will even take the initiative to ask you to borrow a few more money.
Which of the big companies, the government, will have zero debt ratios? and even the more they borrow, the more vigorous their development becomes.
Of course, in this relatively backward social environment, there is a risk in doing this, that is, usury blackmail - but Luo Ming is a nobleman, a noble lord who can kill civilians and only lose money, and the cultivation of a swordsman means that the bodyguards of ordinary businessmen can't stop him at all.
Of course, he would not really draw his sword and kill people in order to repay his debts, and completely discredit his reputation, but the merchants also did not dare to use usury to blackmail him - what if he was forced to lose face and really use the knife?
He had a huge sum of 1,300 gold coins on him, and he spent more than that amount in Brandon.
For example, there are four anchovy chickens, three females and one male...... This guy is basically one of the most useless and weakest Warcraft, and it may not be able to beat a child one-on-one, but it is also a Warcraft, and it has been deliberately bred and cultivated by humans - the chicken and eggs taste good, but this is secondary.
The nutrition of chicken and eggs is not insignificant, eating a whole chicken can withstand half a month of penance, and an egg can almost add two or three days of cultivation, and each chicken has a few tail feathers, which is considered the lowest level of spell material, and can be sold for a little money.
As long as there is enough food to feed it, it can reproduce at a rate similar to that of a normal chicken, and even a hen can lay up to more than 300 eggs a year, and more than 90% of them can hatch smoothly. Even if Luo Ming's side is not too thoughtful, a hen will definitely have no problem laying a hundred eggs a year.
These three females, one male and four chickens are carefully selected breeders, which are different from those mass-produced broilers, and the price is several times more expensive, and the four together cost Luo Ming a full fifty gold coins.
Others may think that this is more expensive, rather than raising it yourself, it is better to buy a ready-made cost-effective directly, but Luo Ming knows that he actually takes advantage of it: the most others eat chicken is to stew the bones in soup, and a large amount of magic power in the bones is still wasted, if you eat chicken yourself, any bones and hairs can be burned by Cangyan, all the magic power is absorbed, and there will be no left, and the efficiency is basically more than one and five times that of ordinary people.
In addition, there is a secret text of a spring purchased from the Church of the Goddess of Springs - as long as there is groundwater, you can make a clear spring semi-permanently.
It can be used for irrigation, or simply a spring water is channeled into a lowland area and turned into a lake for fish farming.
Moreover, this spring also has the characteristics of the most basic holy water, which is not only high-quality drinking water, but also can vaguely improve the surrounding environment, and purify some evil and filth such as plague and miasma in small amounts.
The attendants of the goddess of the spring can receive a small amount of blessings around this spring, and it will save a lot of effort if you use this spring water to cast spells.
By this, one or two priests of the goddess of spring water can be co-opted for their own use, although these priests worship the goddess first and foremost, but as long as they are still nobles of the principality for a day and do not believe in gods who have a bad relationship with the goddess, it does not prevent the priest from being loyal to him in a secular capacity.
The price of a secret text is 500 gold coins - very expensive, but it is not cheap.
According to Aya, if you want to make such a secret text, you have to be a priest of the goddess of spring water of the same level as the archmage, and the cost of materials and energy is not a small number, which vaguely involves the authority of the goddess of spring water to govern the spring water of the world, and hides a trace of insignificant divine secrets.
Of course, this kind of secret, which can be bought for five hundred gold coins, is not a secret to most strong people at all, but Aya said that His Highness the Black Sun has a great need for this kind of knowledge...... Maybe it's because it hasn't had an apostle walking on earth for a long time, and it's become a little lonely?
Luo Ming scolded him for a while, forget it - in short, this money is not too much of a loss, anyway, Luo Ming has a lot of ways to make money from this spring in his head, and it is only the money sponsored by the archmage Gandhi, and His Royal Highness Hei Ri will give credit to himself when he obtains this information.
In addition to this, there is a metal ingot of 100 grams, which can be added to iron in small quantities to turn it into an alloy steel with acceptable hardness and good wear resistance. This thumb-sized piece of metal also cost Luo Ming a hundred gold coins.
