Chapter Twenty-Seven: Hoarding Steel?
"Of the ten people, only seven survived, and the other three were out of breath after the rescue failed." The butler Goda said helplessly.
Seven can survive, this is because when the rescue is urgent, the 'Ancient Castle' ironclad city is willing to spend money, otherwise there will be at most three left.
Even if they are rescued and can continue to maintain their lives, they are still seven wasted people, and they can't take care of themselves and have to be taken care of, unless Li Yinguang is willing to spend a lot of money to install mechanical limbs for them.
There is the cost of installing mechanical limbs for a few people, enough to buy dozens of intact slaves to serve, no matter how you look at it, it is a loss-making business.
"Not bad!"
Li Yinguang sighed, how many are you saving, as for who you save, it doesn't matter, he has this ability, and he can't save more people.
What I met with him was fate.
"What's your name?"
Li Yinguang alone pushed the crippled woman of the Shadow Clan to the housekeeper Goda in a mechanical wheelchair, in addition to her mental malaise, she was the fastest recovering after treatment, indicating that there was still a huge amount of energy in her crippled body, and there was a strong belief in supporting her to continue to live.
"Sophia!"
The voice was a little hoarse, it was the kind of smoky voice, and the gaze was calm without the slightest wave.
Li Yinguang looked at her for a while before he smiled and said, "I saved you!" ”
Sophia nodded: "Thank you, you will receive my loyalty and reward in the future." There wasn't much emotion in his voice, it seemed more like he was talking about a deal.
"Good!"
Li Yinguang looked at the mechanical wheelchair sitting under her, as well as the broken arm, raised his head and asked the butler Goda, "How much does it cost to find an alchemist to pick her up?" ”
After a pause, he preemptively said, "Try to make her better!" ”
The housekeeper Goda smiled bitterly and said: "Master, she needs to tailor a mechanical body, the cost should not be too cheap, and I can't say how much it will cost, but it should not be less than a hundred silver bull coins!" ”
Li Yinguang nodded: "Order one for her, well, use it first, and when we have money in the future, we will make it for you!" ”
The latter words were more like they were spoken to Sophia.
After the housekeeper Goda pushed Sophia away, Li Yinguang muttered: "Money, you have to quickly find a way to get the silver bull, the 'Castle' ironclad city has not been repaired, and so much waste has come back, and the 'grain storage' will see the bottom of this!" ”
First of all, he asked the old man Zhou to get through the relationship and ransom Scarface, Heizi, and Xiaoman from the 'Diwei', and it took 650 silver cattle to find a relationship.
Now I have bought back seven cripples, all of whom need treatment and have to undergo mechanical transformation before they can live and work normally, which is a lot of money.
I really don't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive, and the 'Ancient Castle' Iron City urgently needs a 'Z3 type' smelting furnace, one for four thousand silver oxen, at least three of them, and they also need steel materials to repair the deck, and by the way, they have to buy fuel, which are all basic things, not counting the big cost of 'weapons'.
"Gotta think of a way to make money quickly!"
Li Yinguang's eyes flickered, and he muttered: "Even if it's a crooked and evil way, it's not very serious!" ”
At night, the Pimp Inn in Mambach Town is brightly lit.
Although many young women don't buy the 'Diwei', this will not delay the business in the store, and the boss behind it is also quite powerful, and in just a few days, I don't know what method to use, and hundreds of women have been brought in.
"Have you heard, there is a big incident at the iron mine in the north of the town?"
"Didn't you just get plundered? What's wrong? ”
"The rat plague, I heard that a large number of gold-devouring rats poured out from the depths of the ground, biting the miners who were mining underground to death, and the scene was miserable without a lifetime, and the iron ore mine in Zhenbei has completely stopped operating."
"No, is the news sure it's true?"
"I have a relative in the law enforcement team, and the designation is true."
"It's not that the house leak happened to rain overnight, and I just caught up with this thing after being robbed, and the iron mine in the north of the town is really enough to have many disasters!"
"Who said no, such a fuss, it is estimated that the price of steel in the town of Manbach has to soar!"
Zhi Baige listened to the conversation of a few people at the next table, his eyes flickered, the iron mine in the north of the town had just been plundered and robbed, and there was a rat infestation?
If this is the case, then for a long time in the future, the steel resources in the town of Manbach will not be too sufficient, and the price of commodity scarcity will inevitably rise.
From the lord of the ironclad city to the small private mechanical transformation shop in the town, steel is an indispensable material.
"If you can talk about that fool of Bruce, maybe you can make a fortune out of it!"
In the eyes of Zhibaige, Li Yinguang, who inherited the legacy of the 'Castle' and Old Dirk, is a wealthy fool with a lot of silver bulls in his hands.
He didn't know that in fact, Li Yinguang didn't have a few silver bulls in his pocket.
……
"Hoarding steel?"
Li Yinguang frowned, and said in his heart that he didn't even have the funds to repair the deck of the 'Castle', where did he get the spare money to hoard steel.
Not only would Li Yinguang not say it, but he had already told the housekeeper Goda and others, the 'Castle' Ironclad City was the foundation for them to settle down in Mambach Town, and the less people knew about the truth in the Ironclad City, the better, and anyone could leak the situation in the Ironclad City at will.
"Okay, what are we doing hoarding steel?" Li Yinguang pretended to be puzzled and asked.
Zhi Baige said excitedly with a smile: "I just got the news that the iron mine in Zhenbei has suffered from a rat infestation and is paralyzed as a whole, and it is still unknown how long it will be able to resume operation." Do you think, the iron ore field in the north of the front foot town has just been plundered, and the back foot is paralyzed by the rat infestation and cannot operate, so will the price of steel and other materials in the town of Manbach skyrocket in a short time? ”
"Yes!"
Li Yinguang nodded, then sighed and said with a wry smile: "But this is ill-gotten gains!" ”
Ill-gotten gains?
Listening to Li Yinguang's words, Zhi Baige was stunned, it is fundamental to be able to survive and strengthen yourself in the troubled times, who cares how the money in your hands comes from.
Which ironclad city lord is not stained with the blood of others, and he has advanced step by step and climbed up.
"Aren't you thinking about that? You must know that the opportunity is rare, and we can at most make a time difference, and we can imagine that the price of steel will skyrocket, and the rest of the town can also guess. Zhi Baige endured beating his chest and stumped, trying to calm down and laugh and try to persuade Li Yinguang.
Li Yinguang waved his hand righteously: "Don't think about it, it's okay if you don't make this kind of money, everyone will gossip behind your back when the time comes!" ”
Zhi Baige was so angry that he almost didn't vomit blood, and said in his heart that you are a second fool, and you still care about others gossiping about you behind your back?
Deaf, I ran in vain this time.
How did he know that Li Yinguang was actually very greedy in his heart, but the funds on hand were not enough to operate at all, and doing this kind of hoarding of materials to earn the difference in price at this time would only make people red, and the paper paste was like a 'castle', not to mention a thick thigh, or a slightly thicker arm, which couldn't bear it.
If you can avoid causing trouble, try not to cause trouble, at least you have to pretend to be a grandson before the 'Castle' is not repaired and perfected!
