Cheng Shen didn't believe that the other party didn't understand the value of these ores.

But judging from their outfits, it seems that the technological development of this gray earth tribe is relatively backward, or extreme.

It is likely that they sell ore raw materials because they do not have the corresponding refining capacity.

Thinking of this, Cheng Shen had some ideas, he didn't immediately answer the question of the earthen pot, stepped forward, picked up a few pieces of raw materials in the gaze of the other party, and lines of information immediately appeared in front of him.

【Dark Cloud Iron Ore】

【Bloody Stone Ore】

【Secret Gold Ore】

【Magic Silver Ore】

……

The surprise in Cheng Shen's heart continued to increase, and these ore raw materials contained in them were quite precious metal materials.

Just like the dark cloud iron in it, he heard Lawrence mention that this kind of iron ore can be refined to obtain black steel, and if you can add a little bit in the process of forging equipment, it can greatly improve the quality of equipment.

If there is enough black steel.

He was even sure that he could forge rare-level standard equipment!

In addition, the other ore raw materials are also scarce materials for forging or territory development.

According to the current transaction price between the survivors, this box of ore raw materials alone is conservatively estimated to be worth thousands of gold!

Cheng Shen looked behind the earthen pot.

In addition to the two dozen or so people who came with him, there were also several scaly reptiles that looked like lizards, but were as large as yaks, pulling two carts, and the carts were full of ore!

Cheng Shen put down the raw materials in his hand, stood up, looked at the earthen pot that was one end higher than him calmly, and said with a smile: "It is indeed something I need more, how much food do you plan to exchange for this box of ore raw materials?" ”

He didn't try to lower the price, and the Grey Dirt Tribe's generous move made him realize that the other party was likely to hold more than one rare vein.

And that's exactly what he lacks.

If he can establish a stable trade with the other party, the only defect he has left in the forest will be repaired.

This is a business that is worth his sincerity enough to maintain!

The earthen pot was silent for a moment, and looked at the people behind him.

Seems to be considering.

But Cheng Shen felt that his performance was actually undecided, as if he was asking for the opinion of an existence in the team that was higher than him.

And Cheng Shen followed his gaze, and suddenly saw a slender girl in the crowd, wearing a tiger skin skirt and slightly brown skin.

She had short hair, dark red hair, and a pair of dark and shiny eyes on her delicate face with a hint of plateau red.

Noticing Cheng Shen's gaze, she turned her head to look at him without fear, her thick eyebrows were high, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

"A thousand buckets!"

The earthen pot said as if decided.

He was afraid that Cheng Shen would not understand the concept of a bucket, so he took a square container made of bamboo pieces from the trailer.

Cheng Shen stretched out his hand to take it, and said a few words to Eugene, he immediately turned to leave, and a moment later, Eugene returned again with a farmer, and this farmer was carrying a bag of newly produced wheat on his shoulder.

He put the bag on the ground, and Cheng Shen picked up a bamboo bucket in front of the earthen pot and filled a container full of wheat grains.

"15 units ......"

Cheng Shen glanced at the measurement value of the system.

"A thousand buckets is 15,000 units of wheat, and with the current output of the territory, it will take about three days to save enough ......."

He calculated.

After the recruited population of the territory rose to 480, Cheng Shen once again expanded the planting area of the farmland.

There are now 121 farmers involved in the planting industry alone.

Thereinto.

The number of people responsible for planting the main grain of gray wheat is 80.

One person can manage three wheat fields at the same time, and the basic grain yield of one wheat field is 11 units of wheat.

However, after many improvements, the quality of the gray wheat seed has been greatly improved.

Not only can the total output be increased by 30% on the original basis, but the loss rate of flour can also be reduced by two percent.

Now.

Cheng Shen's territory produces 3,440 units of high-quality wheat in a day.

Flour is made into flour and bears 20% loss.

There are also 2752 units!

His territory only needs to consume about 300 units of flour a day, and the rest is supplemented by various vegetables, meat, and fish that he has just "brought back from the sea", and the living standards of the inhabitants are quite good.

But.

Even if his realm has enough food production capacity to surpass all the survivors.

But in the face of the trade from the Gray Earth Tribe, it still seems to be stretched.

With just one box of ore, he had to make the inhabitants of the territory save for three days.

And the earthen pot came on this trip,

It's certainly not just about exchanging a box of supplies......

Moreover, Cheng Shen is also calculating whether it is worth exchanging 15,000 units of grain for this box of ore raw materials.

There is no shortage of food in his territory.

As a result, it appears that gold coins have a strong purchasing power in his realm.

But that was not the case for other survivors.

The current market price of grain,

It was 1:30.

In other words, 1,000 gold coins can be exchanged for 30,000 units of grain.

It seems that he has double the profit margin.

But the clay pot is a box of ore, after all, it is a raw material, and it has to go through the most troublesome smelting and extraction steps.

Not only does it cost time, but if the metal content in the ore is not ideal, he may lose money.

"I'm hoping to get this deal done." Cheng Shen first revealed his sincerity, and then said: "However, the price you gave is unacceptable to me, and I must first make sure that I don't lose money." ”

"And how much grain are you going to exchange?"

The earthen jar was a little unable to sink the airway.

His eyes kept unconsciously glancing at the bag of wheat that Cheng Shen had taken, revealing his thirst, and most of the clansmen behind him were the same.

Cheng Shen quietly watched their performance.

He deliberately asked someone to bring a bag of wheat and put it here.

On the one hand, it is implying to convey to them a confidence that he is not short of food.

Moreover, it also has the intention of tempting them.

Of course, he didn't expect the results of the test to be so significant, and the self-control ability of these gray soil people was too poor.

All of a sudden, they were exposed to the embarrassment of their desperate shortage of food...

"Ahem." Cheng Shen coughed lightly, and his expression remained unchanged: "Don't worry, I think it is necessary for me to explain the specific reasons to you." ”

He turned his head and motioned for Eugene to step forward.

The latter immediately understood, and tried to squeeze out a kind smile on his chubby face, and said: "Distinguished guests from afar, I won't say more nonsense, these ore raw materials you brought are indeed precious.

But first, we have to take time to smelt and purify these ores, which requires a lot of time and labor input, and the final result may not meet the ideal standard.

We estimate in advance that the loss of this step will reach 30% ......"

He began to talk unhurriedly, giving full play to his talents, and exerting his ability to bargain to the extreme.

Cheng Shen listened with sincerity on the side, but gradually the smile on his face became somewhat unnatural.

He doesn't know how to smelt.

I don't know exactly how much loss will be achieved in the smelting process.

But the key point is that the value of his estimate was originally calculated based on the smelting of these raw ores into concentrate......

Cheng Shen has checked the metal content of this batch of raw materials through the system.

The quality is basically above 6.

Pretty good.

This also means that their smelting loss rate will not exceed 50%.

But this fifty percent is the loss of processing from raw ore into concentrate, which is indispensable.

Cheng Shen had already included it when estimating the price.

However, the conversion of the loss rate of Eugene is directly added to the yield of the concentrate......

As soon as he spoke, Cheng Shen's expression began to become unnatural, and when he heard that he was also planning to include the hoarding cost in the transaction, Cheng Shen hurriedly interrupted.

"Well, I think our friend has figured out why."

Cheng Shen said softly.

Then he glanced at Eugene with complicated eyes.

Seeing that he was still a little unfinished and boastful, Cheng Shen seemed to see an evil capitalist rising.

He wondered if it might be time to build a street lamp in his territory...

“…… You just want to exchange as much food as you want! ”

The earthen pot said with a little confusion and uneasiness in his eyes.

It seems that he did not understand Eugene's deliberate conversion of the value of technical terms.

But at this moment, I already instinctively felt bad in my heart.

"Five hundred buckets."

Cheng Shen said with a comprehensive psychological expectation.

According to Eugene's calculations, he even wanted to push the price down to a hundred buckets, exchanging grain for ore raw materials at a ratio close to one to one.

But that's too much.

Cheng Shen was afraid that the other side would turn his face......

"That's a reasonable price," he repeated. ”

"Five Hundred Buckets ......"

The earthen pot looked like a sigh of relief, as if the price hadn't exceeded his bottom line.

I just don't know, because their original bottom line is not high, or they were frightened by Eugene's foreshadowing in advance......

The earthen pot glanced back at the wild girl, who was also shocked at the moment, but he didn't expect that a seemingly simple material exchange could involve so many ways, and his clear eyes were full of confusion for a while.

Seeing the earthen pot, she quickly came back to her senses and nodded slightly.

"Okay, for the price!"

The earthen pot immediately said in a rough voice.

"I'm glad we were able to reach a consensus."

Cheng Shen smiled.

"But ......"

He hesitated to lengthen his voice.

A group of people from the Grey Earth tribe on the opposite side suddenly became nervous, for fear that he would use various reasons to lower the price again.

Cheng Shen smiled lightly, "Don't be nervous, I want to say that it is a little difficult to get such a large amount of food in a short period of time, so it is better for you to stay with me for three days first, so that I can do my best to be a landlord." ”

Three days.

Cheng Shen's own output alone is definitely not enough to gather all the food.

But with such a huge platform as the community behind him, and the support of thousands of survivors, even if the amount of food that each person can provide is limited, the sum of it will be quite a huge number.

"Three days, it's okay ......" The earthen pot glanced back at the girl, and then said sincerely: "We will bear the consumption of these three days!" ”

Even if Cheng Shen doesn't say it, he will make corresponding requests.

It wasn't easy for them to get to this trade node.

Fighting through the monster-strewn pale hills and the treacherous Plains of Blood had exhausted the people from the battles along the way, and if they had just gone back like this, they would have been wiped out before they had walked halfway.

"Naturally, I won't let you break the bank on my territory."

Cheng Shen smiled calmly.

Subsequently.

He personally arranged for the Grey Soil people to move in.

Lack of prior consideration.

Moreover, Cheng Shen didn't expect that a local caravan would come to trade so soon.

There are no buildings such as a post house in the trade market.

However, it just so happened that the arena that had been built was still empty, and there were separate rooms to accommodate the distinguished guests, so let the caravan live first, a total of eleven rooms, fortunately, the rooms were spacious enough, and it was not too crowded for two people to live.

If he could, Cheng Shen even thought about taking them into the territory.

Let them get in touch with some of the satisfied residents and get a feel for the amazing benefits of his territory.

Perhaps, a group of Grey Earth people can be recruited to join......

These guys are all strong combat units, and even the weakest one has the strength of a leader.

And as the leader of the caravan, the earthen pot is even stronger than Arjieka, and Cheng Shen can't see his attributes.

This shows that his level is at least ten or more than ten above himself.

The other one he couldn't see was also a taciturn strong man, he didn't have a giant python wrapped around his body like an earthen pot, showing an amazing momentum.

But Cheng Shen happened to see a cyan wolf head tattoo tattooed on his back, just like a living one, and the tattoo even glanced at him.

That is, this caravan has no ill will towards him.

Otherwise, Cheng Shen deeply suspected that if they attacked their own territory, even if he gathered all his forces and cooperated with the defense tower, it would be difficult to withstand it.

And this is one of the concerns that he did not receive the caravan to the territory.

Everything was arranged.

Cheng Shen said to the earthen pot: "You can relax in the market these days, if you fancy something, just take it, and deduct it from the transaction afterwards, of course, the price will definitely be favorable!" ”

"We don't lack anything but food."

The earthen pot said in a deep voice.

The implication is that food is extremely important to them, and they will never waste the resources they spend buying food in exchange for something inconsequential.

Cheng Shen smiled and did not refute.

The strength of this Grey Earth tribe is true, but their equipment and living utensils are extremely rudimentary.

He saw that the best weapon in their hands was only a battle axe made from a whole piece of desolate stone.

Flame Stone is an excellent material.

Not precious.

But a whole barren stone the size of a whole basin is very rare.

If it is in Cheng Shen's hands, he can at least make seven or eight excellent weapons with superb attributes.

But in their hands, it can only be said to be a tyrannical thing......

Of course, more of the Grey Soil are unarmed, and it seems that their means of fighting do not rely on weapons.

However, does not rely on weapons necessarily because you don't like to use them?

Cheng Shen's expression was subtle.

He could see from the fact that the Grey Earth people were not good at smelting metals, and they were quite backward in the field of technological development.

Isn't this a potential trading market?

"Lord, lordship......"

The earthen pot said with some difficulty at this time.

"Just call me 'Orange'."

Cheng Shen said.

"Orange? …… Well, I want to trouble you with one thing, my people haven't eaten since the morning battle......"

The expression of the earthen pot is twisted.

"No problem, I'll prepare food for you, but I can't say it."

Cheng Shen interrupted and laughed without waiting for him to finish.

“…… Thank you. ”

The earthen pot spat out and thanked sincerely, and his poor impression of Cheng Shen suddenly changed due to Eugene's influence.
