Chapter 16: Allies

"Don't, we can discuss the division again." Ilea was startled and hurriedly said.

"It has nothing to do with sharing, it's too dangerous, it's because I didn't think about it before." Li Yu said.

"The danger is that there are some ...... This money can make many people blush, so I just asked for fifty percent, but I can find a way to contact some big chambers of commerce, as long as I pay some price, I can let them help transport the money back, as long as I return to Greenfield, it is the Arias family who has the final say. ”

"It's not just about money, it's about craftsmanship."

"Huh?"

"The new, able to surpass the gemstone processing skills of the dwarven jewelry masters, this kind of thing is even more exciting for those great nobles."

"Hmm...... When you say this, it seems that if you master this technology, you can immediately monopolize the entire jewelry processing market, not only Brattis, but also those overseas city-states, so that those dwarven jewelry craftsmen will all lose their jobs, and they can be passed on from generation to generation, it is simply a cornucopia. ”

"So these rubies can't be sold." Li Yu said.

Miss Rabbit looked struggling, she understood the reason, but with such a large sum of money, the opportunity to get her out of poverty and become rich directly was in front of her, but she couldn't grasp it, this kind of thing was really unacceptable.

"Can't we discuss it again? Think of a way, you're so smart that you must know how to minimize the danger. Or let's do what you said before, lose some and lose some, sell it secretly in the western border, and do it a little more secretly, I have a way......"

"No matter how small the danger is, it is also dangerous, since you can make money by selling pepper safely, why take the risk?" Li Yu interrupted the girl's words, leaving the latter speechless.

In fact, if there is no ruby, Miss Rabbit will help Li Yu sell pepper, and the net profit is still beautiful.

But after seeing the more profitable rubies, her mentality was unbalanced, and she couldn't look down on the melons and dates she made by selling pepper.

This is also human nature.

Just like many stockholders speculate in stocks, they didn't sell at the highest point, and they didn't want to sell it in the future, even if they could make some money, but they always thought about the scenery on the top of the mountain, so they kept it until ST.

What's more, it's Ilea's character who wants money and doesn't want to die.

If she really starts and makes her empty basket, this kid may be driven crazy.

So Li Yu took another ruby from the bag and threw it to Ilea on the other side, "Give it to you." ”

Miss Rabbit was stunned for a moment, and then ecstatic, but before she could say anything, she heard Li Yu add, "You can't sell it, keep it as an heirloom." ”

"Uh-huh???"

"As long as you can keep this ruby, I'll give you another one this time next year, and next year and next year...... I'll give you as many rubies as long as you live, and if I find out that a ruby is missing, it's gone. ”

!!!

Miss Rabbit's ears pricked up again.

"Also, it's almost time for you to work, fulfill your duties as a lord, and stay in the house every day without going out, it's about to stink."

"What? What do you say, stink? What stinks, I don't stink! How could I stink! As if she had been stepped on by the tail, Ilea protested incoherently and loudly.

Li Yu didn't pay attention to it, but continued to say to himself, "In addition, I plan to hire some people." ”

"Who do you want, I am also short of people on my side, and the candidate to replace Fausto has not yet been decided."

"Don't worry, I don't want nobles, just commoners, don't be too old, not too young, just between ten and fourteen. First of all, it is best to have four, who are farmers at home and have planted the land themselves. ”

"It's easy to find, but ten years old is too young to do anything, what's the use of hiring you?"

"After all, I only come here once every three days, and someone has to help me do things here."

Miss Rabbit hesitated, perhaps because she was a little reluctant to take a piece of Li Yu's ruby in vain, and whispered, "Do you want to turn them into Saturday believers, as long as you don't go too far, make a big fuss or something, I can pretend not to know." ”

Li Yu glanced at Ilea again, and for the first time wondered if he had chosen the wrong partner to work with.

This woman, if one day she sells herself to Satan Li Yu for money, it will not be too surprising.

Waiting for Li Yu to leave, Miss Rabbit hurriedly lowered her head, sniffed her clothes, and muttered.

"It's obviously tasteless, and that guy is scaring me again."

But having said that, Ilea called for the maid to prepare the barrel and bath water, and took a hot bath until her skin was reddened before she came out of the barrel.

And she also felt refreshed, and finally swept away the muddy state that had accumulated from the past few days of frantically serving the spirit of the ancestors.

Redressing and clutching the priceless ruby in her hand, Miss Rabbit hummed a little song to Fausto to deal with the backlog of government that had been backlogged for several days.

Not to mention, Ilea is still quite efficient when she is busy, and she doesn't know anything else, anyway, just after lunch, Li Yu got the manpower she wanted.

There were four of them, three boys and one girl, the eldest thirteen and the youngest ten.

The boss specially came to ask Li Yu if the girl was okay, and got a reply that as long as she was willing to endure hardship, she recommended a friend's nephew's daughter.

Li Yu gathered people together, mainly talking about the issue of treatment and salary, according to Fausto, in fact, as long as Li Yu is willing to take care of the food, the parents of these children feel quite happy.

But Li Yu still paid an additional salary of one silver Cohen per person per month, and announced two days off every five days.

Although the Order has not yet been formed, some basic systems can be implemented first.

After hearing this, the four children glanced at each other, their faces were full of surprise, although they didn't know the name of Saturday, but they probably already felt the call of Saturday.

Fausto was also a little surprised to hear from the sidelines, five days of work and two days off, and those two days off were considered work, this kind of thing was simply unheard of.

After hesitating, the old man still pulled Li Yu aside, "I know that you are for their good, seeing that they are too young, I am afraid that they will be tired, but if they continue like this, they are likely to become lazy, and gradually take it for granted that they will work for five days and take two days off." ”

"That's right, I hope that one day, everyone in this world will take it for granted that they will work for five days and take two days off, and then educate their children and grandchildren in the same way, and pass it on from generation to generation, until it becomes an iron law in this world." Li Yu said.

Fausto smiled bitterly when he heard this, "Then the world is not chaotic, let alone the world, if you do this, it is estimated that there will be people in the castle who have ideas, but fortunately, it is only four children now, and the impact is not too great." ”

Li Yu smiled and didn't argue with the boss.

That's why he told Ilea to look for children, because new worlds should be built by new people.

Fausto paused, and then said with a straight face, "Anyway, I want to thank you on behalf of the Arias family, if it weren't for you, Miss Ireya wouldn't know how long she would be willful, I heard many people say that you can perform miracles, I didn't believe it when I first heard it, but now I find that you do have a magical power in you."

"It can be seen that Miss Ilea also relies on and trusts you, although you have not known each other for a long time, her trust in you has even surpassed all her blood relatives, probably second only to her guardian knight Alfred, and Alfred is also old."

"What do you want to say?"

"To be honest, I don't know if this trust is a blessing or a curse for the Arias family, I've met too many people in my life, and with all due respect, someone like you will never really be used by Miss Ilea." The old manager's eyes burned.

And Li Yu on the other side still looked calm, "I don't think the relationship between people is only about using and being used." Miss Elia and I are more like allies, and we will join hands to usher in a new era. ”
