Chapter 18: The Sale of Orcs
The half-orcs on the frost plateau are estimated to be between 50 million and 60 million, because the half-orcs are not very intelligent and not good at planting, handicrafts, metallurgy, medical care and other fields, all of them are very low, about 70% of the half-orcs, all of them are in a state of poverty and hunger, waging wars against each other, and frequently invading human beings, which is the source of turmoil. The lives of the people of the north have been severely affected, such as food production, casualties, property damage, and so on.
If you can really assimilate the orcs in the fringe areas.
Consolidate a line of defense from it, and the situation will change in an instant!
Mu Yun didn't want to announce the necromancy spell, which made Lan Yue feel very pity, trying to promote exchanges between the two races, and even trying to introduce half-orcs, but he was warmly supported by the city lord, which had amazing commercial and military value, greatly enhanced productivity, and greatly consolidated regional stability.
Lan Yue did not hesitate to offend the first business family of the Northland Federation!
You can see how much attention you pay to it!
The city lord not only mentally supported the Xueyan Chamber of Commerce, but also gave great help in practical actions. Although orcs were difficult to capture, it was not long before there was a large-scale invasion of orcs, and there were prisons in some towns where wounded and captured orcs were kept.
The city lord bought back 980 orcs from 3 cities and 19 towns!
The move shocked the city.
The ruling official newspaper of Baicheng has a blockbuster news on the headline - "Turn enemies into friends!" The city lord of Baicheng wants to build a half-orc military camp and train a half-orc army to defend the city, and has reached a strategic cooperative relationship with the Xueyan Chamber of Commerce!"
This article exposes the ambition of the city lord.
Now the cost of raising an army is too high, and the Terrans are inherently unadvantageous, and it takes years to train a seasoned warrior not only to invest a lot of money. Half-orcs don't need training, as long as they are adults, they have the strength that is not inferior to that of regular warriors, and with a little training, they must be an elite team.
If this army is firmly controlled, it can not only provide strong protection for the city and promote the production of the city, but also can be used to hunt against the rampaging monsters, or directly for the city lord, the orcs are the best hunters in the Northland, and there is a high room for interest.
Half-orcs are hard-working, infinitely powerful, and physically strong, and are definitely the ideal labor force, serving as soldiers in wartime and working in leisure time, which can not only enhance military strength, but also create economic benefits!
Such a cheap, powerful and fast army.
What castle lord wouldn't like it?
It's a wonderful idea!
Lan Yue's support for the Xueyan Chamber of Commerce was unprecedented, and in order to make his position clear, he did not hesitate to attack hard and severely suppress the power of the Nalan family in the Baichengzi family. The City Lord's Mansion first received an anonymous report from the masses, saying that there were violations of laws and regulations in some industries of the Nalan family.
As a result, the relevant regulatory authorities dispatched ten teams of investigators in two days.
These investigation teams went deep into the Nalan family's factory, used to dig out various illegal projects, and then dealt with them in accordance with the law, fined a large number of people, and then ordered to suspend business for rectification.
Nalan Gaoyuan's father and son dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.
If it is changed to usual, you can still report to the family and use the clan power to seek justice, but now because the mission to bring back the young lady has failed, I am afraid that the head of the family is angry, and at this time to ask for help, I am afraid that it will anger the head of the family even more, and then it will suffer.
The father and son swallowed their broken teeth into their stomachs, and never showed their heads again, and suddenly became much more honest.
When the Lanyue City Lord finished cleaning up the Nalan family and expressed his attitude, he immediately purchased a cooperation qualification from the Chamber of Commerce with a huge sum of 1,000 gold coins. The Snow Swallow Chamber of Commerce, the Warlock Guild, and the Academy Alliance all set this spell as a highly confidential spell, and they firmly grasped it in their hands, and they would never sell it easily, lest the spell be leaked, which would cause flooding.
Now there is not enough knowledge to support it, and Mu Yun is designing several anti-cracking structures when writing spells.
At the level of modern arts, it is basically impossible to crack this technique.
The Snow Swallow Chamber of Commerce makes a profit, one is to capture the orcs by themselves, and when the domestication is successful, they make a profit by renting or selling the orcs. The other is to sell cooperation qualifications, a certain family force or city lord, when spending money to get cooperation qualifications, they can find a way to capture the orcs by themselves, and then send them to the Snow Swallow Chamber of Commerce to be branded, and then train them into the half-orcs according to their own needs.
Lan Yue spent 1,000 gold coins, which was exactly what it was like to purchase this cooperation qualification.
When the news spread, the forces of all parties were eager to try, but if they wanted to obtain the qualification for cooperation with the Snow Swallow Chamber of Commerce, they would need to pay a high fee, and whether the orcs were as good as rumored to be made them hesitate.
This is a piece of news that draws everyone's attention.
On May 15, 1004, the Xueyan Chamber of Commerce held a press conference. President Nalan Yan announced at the press conference that the Snow Swallow Chamber of Commerce is making good progress in training the half-orcs, and is ready to take out a part of the half-orcs for sale to test the stability of the domesticated half-orcs.
As soon as this news was released, it immediately attracted the attention of wealthy businessmen and tycoons everywhere.
On the day of the conference, all kinds of carriages or motor vehicles appeared in the White City, some luxurious, some elegant, and some low-key...... The targets are all White City Hall.
After the door opened, men and women came out of it, the men were generally gentlemen and elegant, and the women were rich and beautiful, dressed very gorgeously, wearing family crests. Seventy percent of these people were from outside the city, and they were holding invitations to this special meeting.
"Mr. Yao, I didn't expect you to come to Baicheng in person!"
The middle-aged man bowed to a strong man with fiery red hair, the red-haired elder was about fifty years old, his body was very burly and strong, and he was not old at all, if he didn't know his surname, most people would think that this person was a warrior.
Actually, he's a warlock!
The Northland pharmacist takes medicine as his surname, and is a well-known alchemist family, and the red-haired elder is named Yao Yuanming, one of the four major alchemists in Medicine City, although he is not very old, but his alchemy attainments are superb, and he is quite famous in the entire Silver Snow Domain.
The rest of the magnates cast their respects.
Yao Yuanming said helplessly: "The little princess of the family found out about Baicheng's report, so she clamored all day long to buy one or two half-orcs, so I had to come here." ”
Everyone's expressions turned into strange expressions, and a smile appeared to show understanding.
The little princess of the medicine clan family is indeed not a good stubble.
Yao Yuanming looked sideways at a man not far away, a hint of brilliance flashed in his eyes, and he said, "Shi Poshan, are you here too?"
Shi Poshan is a man with a bear-like figure, his hands are covered with calluses, and his eyes are blazing, and he is obviously a powerful martial artist.
This person is the younger brother of the lord of Stone City, a martial artist with a very high reputation.
Shi Poshan said flatly: "Recently, the surname Lan has been a little out of the limelight, let me take a look, how is it!"
Yao Yuanming, Shi Poshan, one from Medicine City, one from Stone City, both of them are big shots!
The others are not bad either.
The guests invited today are basically either rich or noble, all of them are from the big clans in the outer city, or the brains of a certain power, or a huge rich businessman, the head of a certain force, and so on. The inspection of the White City Hall is not very strict, and there are so many masters in this hall that ordinary people dare to come here to make trouble?
More than a dozen VIPs walked down the red carpet into the hall, which was already filled with hundreds or thousands of participants, although not as good as the VIPs, but also not ordinary people.
The Great Hall has 800 seats, and it is only for ordinary guests, and VIPs are taken upstairs and down the corridor into the boxes on both sides, and the more revered the status, the better the angle and position. After Yao Yuanming sat down, a maid immediately brought pastries and drinks.
Yao Yuanming had just finished it, and immediately asked the attendant standing behind him, "How about what you did?"
The attendant said respectfully: "I have checked the magic yao potion, this is the first to be launched by the Xueyan Chamber of Commerce, the president of the Xueyan Chamber of Commerce, Nalan Yan is a descendant of the Nalan family, but he has a holiday with the family, and the Nalan family is not particularly proficient in the potion industry, most of them are from Mu Yun's hands." ”
Yao Yuanming stared at the host on the stage, his eyes were calm, and he didn't speak.
The attendant cautiously asked, "Do we want to ......?"
Yao Yuanming held the teacup and said slowly, "Don't startle the snake." ”
At the end of the host's speech, several famous warlocks took turns to speak, and after a short ceremony, it was time to get to the point.
Knock knock knock!
The half-orcs appeared, row after row, neat and tidy, about 2.3 meters high, three big and five thick, and stout. Nalan Yan specially customized a unified set of fine fire copper armor for the half-orcs, a 45-kilogram fine fire copper war spear!
A shocking scene!
The orcs are known for their ferocity and cruelty, but now they are standing in a row, honest, motionless, like sculptures!
Including Yao Yuanming and Shi Poshan, everyone was stunned.
Come up with someone to do this kind of thing!
Must be a genius or a madman!
"This is the first batch of orcs of the Snow Swallow Chamber of Commerce, as you can see in front of you, they are completely domesticated, and they are branded as slaves, there is absolutely no danger!"
"Now, the information of 500 half-orc warriors has been distributed to you. ”
The presenter spat on the stage and introduced, and the orcs stood in silence, completely indifferent, in fact, they did not understand the Terran language at all. Before going on stage, someone promised them that as long as they stood honestly for a few hours, this fine fire copper equipment would be given to them.
Where have orcs ever seen such a good thing?
One by one they were ecstatic, of course they had to behave well!
The auction is on!
The first group of orcs appeared.
Whoever the buyer sees will be able to bid directly, and when the time is over, the highest price will be eligible to take the orc.
"No. 14 half-orc has cultivated, and there are 18 stars of true qi! I want it, no one should rob me"
"No. 9 and a half orc is only fifteen years old, 11-star true qi, and his talent is extraordinary!
"Half-Orc No. 18 ......"
Everyone was hotly discussed.
All of them were red-faced, red-eared.
The Terrans finally understand why the half-orcs are so powerful, the half-orcs are a natural warrior race, not only are their physique several times stronger than the Terrans, but the lower limit of their martial arts cultivation talent is very high, even the worst talent of the half-orcs is also of medium standard among the Terran warriors!
The hungry people of the plateau, the former robbers, have now been transformed into the fragrant buns of the human society!
The scene was very hot.
The crowd was very welcoming.
Because anyone who is a little more savvy will find that the orc squire is well worth the investment!
Cultivating a martial arts master from a group of Terran warriors is very difficult and consumes a lot, and with the same price and world, it is enough to train a few half-orc martial artists!
The first group of 50 half-orcs is bidding!
The highest price is 500 silver coins, and it was directly bought by Yao Yuanming!
The lowest price was an old and frail orc, but it was also bought for 94 silver coins.
The enthusiasm of the crowd is shocking!
Ten groups of half-orcs were sold out, earning three or two hundred gold coins!
In fact, selling orcs to make money is secondary, and the main income of the Snow Swallow Chamber of Commerce still comes from cooperation with big families. As soon as this sales meeting ended, Yao Yuanming, on behalf of the medicine family, reached a cooperation with the Xueyan Chamber of Commerce in the medicine city at a price of 1,000 gold coins, and Shi Poshan reached a cooperation with the Xueyan Chamber of Commerce in Shicheng with 1,000 gold coins.
A sales meeting.
The Xueyan Chamber of Commerce directly received more than 2,000 gold coins!
Once a trend is formed, it is difficult to stop!
Baicheng, Medicine City, and Stone City announced that they would cooperate with the Xueyan Chamber of Commerce to start introducing half-orcs and cultivating half-orc armies and half-orc workers
The Xueyan Chamber of Commerce is making money every day, and Mu Yun's worth is constantly growing.
Now that he has strong material support, Mu Yun should think about it and how to improve his strength!
