Chapter 353 Business

For seven consecutive days, Li Anran spent most of his time on Liuqiu Island, except for taking a little time every day to diagnose and treat the old lady of the Feng family, and taking Abramo Hui, who was also going to and continuing to walk the Silk Road.

Considering the infrastructure work on the island, there is an urgent need for a large amount of labor. Li Anran bought twenty handmaidens for Su Xiaomei and Xiangling who didn't look very good, but while he honestly made servants who didn't care about anything, he didn't forget to buy some Kunlun slaves.

Although Chang'an, as the capital of the Tang Dynasty, is the most prosperous place, there are still merchants who run slave businesses for profit in various states and counties. Although the price is somewhat higher, it will not be the first and the last.

In fact, when buying maidservants, Li Anran also came into contact with the most famous Silla maid in the Tang Dynasty. The so-called Silla refers to ancient Korea. And the fame of Silla is not only in terms of appearance and figure.

What's more, Silla is not only hardworking and willing to endure hardships enough, but also honest and loyal. Of course, for those rich old men, they naturally like those who want to have good looks and have a figure.

Do you want to say that Li Anran likes such a Silla maid? That's not nonsense, as long as it's a normal man, I like it. can consider that he already has four women in Datang, and if a few more come out, he will not say that he is "busy" or "busy", in case there is any problem because of the competition for favor, then it will be a headache.

Therefore, when buying Silla maids, Li Anran only wanted to be honest and easy to use. The principle of not seeking beauty, I picked 20 "cheap" goods with relatively strong bodies from all over Datang in one go. Among them, the best five were selected and sent to the valley base, and the remaining fifteen were placed in the mountain villa and handed over to Xiangyun for management.

As Li Anran expected, when they brought the twenty Silla maids back to the villa and handed them over to Su Xiaomei and Xiangyun, the two women did not react abnormally on the surface, but the relief and joy in their eyes could not be concealed.

This time, the Silla maid did not spend much money on the purchase of slaves. In the words of later generations. Twenty "bargains" added together. It is also a proper cabbage price. But on the Kunlun slave side, it really cost a lot.

But what made Li Anran happy was that among the Kunlun slaves purchased this time, female Kunlun slaves were also bought. Although these female Kunlun slaves only belong to the nature of family members. Sell with the male Kunlun slave. But having a woman also means having an opportunity to reproduce.

At the time of the purchase of high-priced Kunlun slaves in large quantities. Li Anran thought of the question of how to multiply the Kunlun slaves in his hands. After all, it's not a long-term solution, even if you don't think about the price. Security issues also need to be treated with caution.

Originally, Li Anran planned to match his Kunlun slaves with some maids from the Tang Dynasty as wives, but considering some characteristics of black people, as well as the guilt of pushing his family into the "fire pit" as a compatriot, he could only dispel this idea in the end.

Later, Li Anran planned to buy some orchids, since compatriots can't be pitted, then there will be no guilt at all for pitting foreigners. And orchids also have the characteristics of orchids, and after mixing with Kunlun Nu, maybe they can cultivate something superb.

But as the saying goes, the wish is full, but the reality is often very skinny.

When Li Anran went to the slave market to ask, he found that this orchid was not only outrageously expensive, but also in a state of pricelessness. In other words, it is not easy for you to buy some if you have the money to buy them.

Take Chang'an City as an example, don't look at the orchid that looks like a flower, when the spring breeze is smiling. Laughing in the spring breeze, dancing in Luo Yi, you will return home if you are not drunk today? But most of these orchids make a living by drinking and selling arts, and are rarely willing to sell themselves as slaves.

Even if there is, it is the best kind of goods, and the price is much more expensive than Kunlun Nu. As for those "bargains", because of the problem of transportation costs and profits are not enough, few people are willing to do it, after all, it is better to engage in some more profitable goods when there is time.

Seeing that there is no way to solve it for a while, Li Anran can only pin his hopes on Abramo, who is walking on the Silk Road. After the other party returns to China, we will see if we can solve the problem of large-scale procurement of female Kunlun slaves.

Fortunately, although the problem of female Kunlun slaves has not been solved for the time being, male Kunlun slaves have bought a lot of money under Li Anran's lavish money. In just a few days, the number of Kunlun slaves on Liuqiu Island skyrocketed to two hundred and seventy.

And those Kunlun slaves who came later, after experiencing miracles and the influence of the previous batch of Kunlun slaves, quickly turned into devout believers. Invisibly, it has made Li Anran, the "angel" of the Tang Dynasty, a lot more believers.

The angel here does not refer to the official position of the Tang Dynasty or the winged existence of Christ and Catholicism, but the angel in Islam. In the 17th chapter of the Qur'an, line 95 of the Night Walk, it is written:

"Say, 'If there were many angels on the earth who walked in peace, then surely I would have sent down a god from heaven to be their messenger.' ”

And Li Anran became the god who descended from the sky as a messenger in the eyes of Kunlun Nu......

With more manpower, coupled with the fact that Li Anran provided enough tools and food, Kunlun Nu was naturally working harder and harder, and the development work on Liuqiu's side was naturally getting smoother and smoother.

Don't look at the time since I landed on Liuqiu Island with the first batch of Kunlun pilots, it hasn't been long since I took the first batch of Kunlun pilots. But the area, which was originally enclosed as a basic construction area, has formed a large village.

Under Li Anran's intervention, this village composed of Kunlun slaves does not have the slightest trace of dirty, chaotic and poor ordinary villages in the Tang era. The paved stone roads, the residential areas divided according to the use, the farmland areas, etc., are not only well-organized but also exotic.

Don't look at Li Anran's background in architectural design, but this time, he didn't ask his college friend Shi Jinshui for help, the reason why he can run this village so well is actually to borrow from an urban simulation game called "Banished City".

Unlike regular SimCity games, Exiled City is not set in a modern city, but a group of people who have been banished to a strange place to build a city from scratch.

At the beginning of the game, the characters controlled by the player have nothing but the carriage they brought from their hometown. All the player has to do is keep the Vault Dwellers alive, make them work, let them live, start with villages, build cities, and continue as the population grows.

Although Exiled City is only a game, many of the settings in it are also very gamified. But I have to admit that this game is still relatively close to reality in many ways. Especially those master players on the Internet, they are even more exaggerated to be able to play the game as if it were real, and make the overall planning very reasonable.

The reason why Li Anran was able to make the Kunlun Nu village on Liuqiu Island so well was to learn from the masterpiece of one of the masters. Not only the current villages, but also the development of villages, towns, counties, and big cities in the future, there is no need to think about how to plan before cooperating, and it can be done by directly copying and correcting it appropriately.

What's more, unlike the bitter NPCs in the game, with Li Anran, an "angel", those Kunlun slaves on Liuqiu Island who have turned into believers don't have to worry about food and clothing at all, and all kinds of tools and livestock needed to build a village are also available.

In Li Anran's view, under such conditions, if he can't manage the village well, it can't be called incompetent, but completely brainless.

The situation on Liuqiu Island is going well, and the old lady of the Feng family is also recovering very well. The combination of traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, coupled with modern medical concepts and the Feng family, quickly got rid of the trouble. As soon as she was in a good mood, the old lady's body was almost the same every day, and in just seven days, she actually recovered from almost choking her breath to being able to get out of bed and walk slowly.

Although you still need someone to support you when you walk, you can't walk too often every day. But this effect is enough to make the Feng family happy.

Seeing that the patient can recover, Li Anran, who is a doctor, is naturally in a very good mood. It's a pity that this good mood was ruined by a sudden incident on the side of Liuqiu Island. (To be continued......)
