"Is this real silver ore? No wonder Luo Sheng deliberately chose the territory here, and dared to make such a big development plan. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Looking at the overall black and brown real silver ore on the table, mixed with a little silver light in the middle, Alyssa sighed excitedly.

To be honest, Alyssa was originally a little worried about the territorial development plan formulated by Luo Sheng. After all, the basic conditions on the Hokuriku side are very poor, and if you want to build a territory from scratch on such a large scale and quickly, the cost will be several times higher than that of a normal new territory. Although Luo Sheng's strength is extraordinary and his status is not low, the time to rise is too short after all, and his net worth is not rich. It is very difficult to support such a huge construction cost. And the huge expenses of these days also confirm Alyssa's judgment, and the problem of cost has always been on the mind of Alyssa, the chief manager.

However, although there were some doubts in her heart, Alyssa did not speak up against Rason's plan. On the one hand, because Luo Sheng has created so many miracles in the past year or so. Although this plan seems a bit exaggerated, Rasheng should have a way to realize it.

On the other hand, it is because the sprout collar is the foundation of Luo Sheng's ambitious career, when men are enterprising and want to do business, as long as the dream is not too outrageous, women should not pour cold water on men, but should do their best to give men some support within their ability.

So on the one hand, Alyssa tried to reduce costs after taking over the construction of the territory. For example, on the grounds of neglecting the lord, the largest number of lords was ranked second, and the wages of the lords were greatly reduced. On the other hand, it is to contact Marcia privately, if Luo Sheng's side really can't support it, Alyssa is ready to borrow a sum of money from Marcia in her own name to maintain the construction and development of the territory.

However, after seeing the real silver ore brought back by Old Bard, Alyssa's worries instantly vanished. Although the veins of true silver are not as good as Mithril and Adamantite Gold, which are enough to cause wars between kingdoms, their value is by no means ordinary gold mines, and silver mines are comparable. With this as a support, Rason's construction plan can be realized even if it is several times more 'luxurious'.

"This prospecting is the easiest time in my life, and I am almost mining according to your instructions. I've heard people say you've had a natural revelation before, and I don't believe it yet. But this time I was completely convinced. After pouring a glass of ale, Old Bard said with the same emotion.

Before setting out for prospecting this time, Luo Sheng not only gave Old Bard a simple map, but also clearly marked the location of the real silver vein on the map. Old Bard didn't believe it before, after all, Luo Sheng had never been to Beilu at all, and he basically didn't know anything about prospecting, and the vein map he took out was somewhat credible, which was really doubtful.

However, when Old Bard actually followed the map provided by Rason, he quickly found signs of the existence of the vein. After relying on rich experience and selecting several sites for exploratory excavation, the location of the real silver vein was quickly found, and many ore specimens were brought back. Compared with the previous prospecting of several months or even half a year, eating and sleeping in the open air, this old Bard's action is more like going directly to the mining area for a vacation, and digging a few ores by the way.

"Uncle Bud, tell me about the veins. I only vaguely know that there is a vein of real silver there, and not much else knows. Luo Sheng said with a smile.

Now for Luo Sheng, the natural revelation has become the biggest shield, and many things can be done openly and honestly for this reason, without thinking about how to explain it to people.

"Judging from my experience, although the quality of this vein can only be regarded as mid-to-high, the reserves are quite large. If it is really developed, the value may be greater than that of ordinary dukedoms. Old Bard said excitedly.

For the dwarves, it is a very honorable thing to explore, to unearth the ore veins. The greater the value of the vein, the more honor the dwarves can receive. Although the main credit for this excavation belongs to Luo Sheng, the 'god stick', Old Bard can still rely on this qualification to win extremely high honors in the dwarf group, so Old Bard looks even more excited than Luo Sheng, the owner of the ore vein.

"Is the vein so big?" said Alyssa, who was pleased at first, and then a trace of worry flashed in her eyes.

As an orthodox nobleman, Elisa knows very well that the wealth that nobles can have is basically matched by their own strength. Once the low-ranking nobles have mastered wealth far beyond their own strength, trouble will ensue, and even unexpected crises may occur.

With Luo Sheng's strength and status, if the value of the ore vein is equivalent to a viscounty, or an earldom, there should be no problem. Even the value of the ore vein can be compared to the marquis, relying on Luo Sheng's position in the Nine Rings White Tower, he can barely eat it. After all, the sprout territory is far away in the North Continent, far away from the control of other forces, and it will be a little more than worth the loss if there is a conflict over the ore vein.

But now this vein is worth more than a dukedom, and if placed inland in the Northlands, it is enough to trigger a war between the two kingdoms. Even if it is located in the Hokuriku, under the attraction of huge interests, all parties will not give up easily. And now Rasen's foundation is still very shallow, once he falls into a real fight, not only will the development of the territory be greatly affected, but even his security may be threatened.

"Uncle Bud, who knows the news of the discovery of the real silver vein?" Thinking of the consequences of the leak, Alyssa asked Old Bard with some eagerness.

"Don't worry, I'm not stupid. Only the three of us know about this now. The others only knew that I went to the mountains to prospect for minerals, but they didn't know the specifics. Old Bard said with a smile.

Although dwarves are generally more honest, it doesn't mean that they are stupid. Especially after many years of fighting in human society, Old Bard knew very well the wealth and trouble represented by a huge vein of real silver, so after coming back, he didn't reveal any news from anyone and came directly to Luo Sheng.

"That's fine. Alyssa breathed a sigh of relief, and then said with some regret: "Such a big vein, it's a pity that we can't hold it now, so we can only wait until the future." ”

"Not necessarily. Luo Sheng shook his head and said with a smile: "Since the ore vein has been discovered, I think it is better to mine." ”

"Luo Sheng, do you have a way to hide the scale of the vein?" Alyssa was slightly stunned, and then asked with a look of surprise.

In the continent of Ymir, whether it is a dwarf, a prospector or a mage among humans, there is a way to roughly explore the reserves of mineral deposits. And this is also the reason why Alyssa does not dare to mine directly. After all, once the sprouts start selling real silver, other forces will definitely send people to explore the mineral reserves. Unless Luo Sheng sent heavy troops and masters to guard the mining area closely, it was impossible to conceal the approximate value of the mineral deposits. And once the reserves of the mineral deposits are determined by other forces, trouble will inevitably ensue.

But if Luo Sheng had a way to hide the scale of the veins, the situation would be very different. With Luo Sheng's current strength and status, mining a small real silver vein, ordinary forces will not find any trouble. In this way, the sprout collar can take advantage of the income provided by the real silver vein and develop rapidly.

"I don't have a way to hide the size of the vein, and I understand your worries, Alyssa, but we don't necessarily have to monopolize this vein. Luo Sheng said calmly: "We can divide a part of the interests and pull a few big forces in to cooperate in the development of this vein." ”

"Cooperative mining?" asked Alyssa and Old Bard for a moment, a little confused.

"Luo Sheng, this is a lot of wealth, you give it away?" After a moment of sluggishness, Old Bard asked in disbelief.

In the Ymir Continent, ore veins are a fundamental existence for any force, and there are many people who have waged a big war for this, but there are few examples of cooperation between the two sides and mining together. Especially like Luo Sheng, the value of the ore vein is amazing, once he cooperates with others, the benefits that are divided are unimaginable, and ordinary people are absolutely reluctant.

"When wealth is in your own hands, you can spend it at will, and it is real wealth. Stay underground, and you'll always be a mineral. Luo Sheng smiled and said, "When we have the strength to mine this vein, we don't know how long we will have to wait." It is better for us to share a part of the benefits in exchange for the rapid development of our territory. ”

"It seems that Luo Sheng, you have already made up your mind. Then are you going to pull those families to work together?" Seeing Luo Sheng's expression, Alyssa asked.

"The Royal House of Elson, Brother Buniel, the Offa Radiant Chamber of Commerce, and the Green Spire where I am. Luo Sheng replied.

"To solve the fish-man?" Alyssa's eyes flashed, and she vaguely guessed Rasen's thoughts.

"Not just to deal with the fish-men, but also the Taylor Kingdom, and even the devil. Luo Sheng nodded and said with a solemn expression.

At the beginning, Luo Sheng didn't want to expose the real silver vein so early, and wanted to wait for the foundation of the territory to be stable and his strength to go further, and then mine the vein, so that he only needed to hide it for a while, and Luo Sheng would be sure to hold the vein and enjoy this benefit exclusively.

However, after discovering that there were some deviations between the situation on the continent and his memory, demons, gods, and demons seemed to have begun to make waves on the Ymir continent one step earlier, especially after discovering that the devil had extended his tentacles to the North Continent and the Taylor Kingdom, and had conflicts with himself, Luo Sheng gave up the idea of monopolizing the interests of the mineral vein, but instead wanted to use the interests of the mineral vein to bring together several big forces that could be attracted together, and at the same time obtain financial and resource support, he also used the power of the major forces to protect the sprout collar.

"Can these collaborators be trusted, be careful that they cross the river and tear down the bridge!" said Alyssa, a little worried.

"Rest assured. I went to great lengths to get the fief certificate of the sprout collar, but it was not in vain. As long as the order of the Ymir Continent has not collapsed, whoever wants to develop this mineral deposit will not be able to bypass me. As long as I'm alive, they won't be able to cross the river and tear down the bridge. Luo Sheng smiled and said, "And if you want to kill me and swallow the sprout collar, it's not that easy." ”
