Chapter 689: Poverty is the Root of Strife

"Great, daddy is fine."

"You scared us to death, why didn't you talk back just now? Did we think something had happened to you? ”

"A false alarm, a false alarm, thank you for the helping hand extended by the villagers."

"You're welcome? Isn't it right for neighbors to help each other? Believe that something happened to us, and you will do the same. ”

"Grandpa, who are those two outsiders? Why come to our village? ”

Seeing Harlanson appear at the gate of the tower, the villagers of Nimir Village couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, the old mage is the strongest person in their village, if he can't fight the enemy, just rely on their group of farmers, it's just to add vegetables, but as the villagers' obligation to watch over each other, they can't help but come, because this is their way of survival, if they don't lend a helping hand when others are in danger, and when they are threatened, don't expect others to help them.

"What a beautiful woman!"

"Is this a noble lady from Susar?"

"Hey, how can there be such a beautiful woman in this world?"

"What beautiful clothes, so beautiful jewelry, so noble temperament."

"What a handsome, so strong, so temperamental young man, is he a nobleman from Susar?"

When the villagers of Nimir saw a man and a woman who had come out with Harlandson, their eyes straightened, and they all focused on Ms. Gose.

Although she was honored by those escort girls as Gosse's mother, she was actually not very old, at the best age of her life, exuding the charm of a mature woman, she was engaged in a profession before, so she paid great attention to maintenance, and was very good at grooming and dressing, she was directly dragged by Gavin from Susar, and she was still wearing Sussar's most popular close-fitting evening dress, complicated tassels, tulle design, showing its nobility, and the close-fitting design perfectly showed the beauty of the female silhouette, black leather and red-soled high heels, She is full of extravagance and is incompatible with the rural scene of Nimir Village.

Lady Gother's charm is irresistible even to the princes and nobles of the Shining City and Susar City, let alone the villagers in the countryside.

It's just that the focus of attention of men and women is different, men are attracted by her peerless appearance, women pay more attention to the clothes and jewelry on her body, and then they are attracted by Gavin next to her, since the charm has entered the extraordinary, he has now become the focus of those women's attention wherever he goes, who let him have such a special ability as a female friend!

Then again, this ability is only an aid, and the most important thing is Gavin's own growth.

Born from the heart.

A person's appearance is not static, but has subtle changes with inner improvement, and Gavin's current self-confidence is not comparable to ordinary people.

All in all, the two sides are two people from completely different worlds, and this difference does not need to be artificially distinguished at all, and the temperament of dress helps them distinguish them.

Harlanson coughed lightly and said, "These two are noble lords from Susar, well, haven't you asked what to call the two adults?" ”

"Just call me Gavin, this is Lady Gose."

"Lord Gavin and Mrs. Goseer have heard about the glowing water in our canals, and want to work with us to sell glowing water bottles and make our village and its villagers richer." Harlanson explained Gavin's intentions directly to the villagers of Nimir.

"Hah...... I knew it would be like this, Daddy, this is not a trick you played with us, I don't know where to hire two actors, pretending to be lords and nobles from Susar, so that we might agree to your ridiculous offer, right? In this world, how can anyone spend a lot of money to buy such a thing? This thing is not very useful at all, as soon as it gets dark, everyone goes to sleep, and we will only use it for free. ”

"I thought there was something wrong with this matter before, how could the lords and nobles of Susar City come to our village late at night? If Daddy is looking for someone to pretend, then it makes sense. ”

"In this matter, Dad, you have gone a little too far, and you have betrayed our trust in you."

"Daddy Harlandson, it's not that we deliberately block it, but we really can't afford to toss, it was you who proposed to introduce the explosive crayfish, which attracted electric eels, and in less than half a year, we had five people killed under their electric shocks, although the Stark bushes have a restraint effect on them, but no one can ensure that all the electric eels have eaten the Stark bushes, and the power generation capacity is limited, and in the long run, no one in our village dares to touch the water, let alone cultivate."

"I'm still the same as before, destroy all the canals, kill all the electric eels, and plant those crops that are suitable for dry land, such as planting grapes in a large area, and making wine is a good choice, I heard that there is a Vizeme estate on the other side of the valley, and the ghost wine made can be sold for hundreds of gold coins a bottle, we don't need hundreds of gold coins, we only need to sell ten gold coins a bottle to make money."

"It's a stupider suggestion, we don't have large-scale winemaking techniques, the vineyards take at least a few years to form, what do we eat during this time? What to drink? Before the grapes were produced, we starved to death, I think Daddy's suggestion is feasible, although his idea has twists and turns every time, but we all know that Daddy is completely out of good intentions, completely for the village, for the villagers, without the slightest selfishness, you see all his research expenses are his own money, for this reason his children and grandchildren have broken with him, we should give him another chance, maybe this time it will be successful? Did it really lead our village to prosperity? ”

"Think about it, how many times has he said that?

That's what he said when we dug a lot of canals for irrigation, and when we raised money to build a tower of cattle and dug a lot of canals, the water didn't flow to the fields at all.

He also said the same thing when he introduced the unpalatable and raw popping shrimp, and as a result, the canal was repaired, but the aquaculture industry we had just started was destroyed, and all the fry were eaten by these popping shrimp, and electric eels were also introduced.

When he bought Stark bushes to suppress electric eel power generation, he still said this, and as a result, five good men were electrocuted alive.

This is an extremely dangerous industry, and if it continues, we will have to work with electricity all day, and maybe you will be the next to die, and I don't agree to start this industry anyway. ”

As soon as they heard that the glowing water bottles were going to be sold, many villagers in Nimir Village blew up on the spot, and many directly pointed the finger at the old mage Harlanson.

Gavin only listened for a few minutes before he basically understood the main crux of the village of Nimir.

The short-sightedness of these villagers is not the main reason, the main reason is that their finances have dried up, in order to build water canals, cattle pull water towers, introduce popping shrimp, buy Stark shrubs and so on, a series of investments, all the little money they have accumulated over the years have been exhausted, many families have no surplus food, where is more money to invest in the purchase of glass bottles, and then the glowing water bottles are shipped out of Baal?

It's still a risky investment, and who knows if there will be the same moths in the process? They can't stand any wind and waves anymore.

The old mage Haaland was in the same dilemma, his few fortunes were all invested in this kind of research, and he did not have a good business acumen, so there was no way to return the funds, and finally the current impasse appeared.

After finding the crux of the problem, things were easier to handle, and he coughed and said, "Gentlemen and ladies, can you listen to me and ...... after listening to my advice?"

"You're a hired actor, what qualifications do you have to make suggestions?"

"This is our village's own business, and we don't need outsiders to intervene."

"Sorry, it's our own business, please forgive our villagers for being rude, they have no ill intentions."

The agitated villagers of Nimir Village couldn't even listen to the advice of the respected old mage Harlanson, let alone a foreigner of unknown origin, and a few young and vigorous people choked back directly.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Gavin stopped talking nonsense and pulled out three huge gold coin crates directly from the portable dimensional cave.

These gold coin boxes are specially customized by Gavin for those who are blue trees, and there are internal mechanisms, when the box is dropped on the flat ground, the lid of the box will automatically pop open, and the gold coins inside are alive, but none of them jump out (this is the effect of binding magic), and the golden light emitted makes people can't take their eyes off it (with the constant light of magic).

This magic gold coin chest, nicknamed by Gavin, is worth far more than the 10,000 gold coins it contains, so that it can be used in today's occasions.

This is definitely a pretending to be a face-slapping artifact, and the effect is not generally easy to use, just look at the reaction in the field.

All the villagers of Nimir Village couldn't help but stretch their necks as if they had been immobilized by the spell, and their eyes were firmly fixed on the three boxes of gold coins, many of them not only forgot to speak, but even forgot to breathe, and their faces turned red with suffocation, and after a few minutes, the field fell into an even bigger commotion.

"Law...... Mage...... A mage with a dimensional dimension...... Right...... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to yell at you just now, I just didn't know...... The Adult is a mage...... Adult, please ...... Adults reprimand. ”

"Aren't they actors hired by Daddy? Is it really a noble lord and lady from the city of Susar? But...... But where did they hear about our little place, and where did they hear about the light of our canals? ”

"Golden lions, a lot of golden lions, I have never seen so many gold coins in my life, this must be tens of thousands."

"Thirty thousand, at least thirty thousand, ten thousand per box."

"Now do I have to speak, am I qualified to make suggestions?" Gavin spoke again.

Although there is a suspicion of pretending to be forced to do this, I have to say that the effect is not generally good, as long as they prove their financial resources, these ordinary people's attitude towards themselves immediately has a 180-degree change.

"Yes, yes, yes, just now we don't know real gold, and we don't know what good advice Master Gavin has, just say, we'll listen to it."

"It was definitely a misunderstanding just now, it was definitely a misunderstanding, what are you still doing in a daze? Hurry up and invite this old man and lady to our discussion barn, and we will sit down and talk slowly. ”

"That's right, how can the honorable lord and lady endure the cold wind here?"

When many villagers were talking, their eyes fell on the three boxes of gold coins involuntarily, and it seemed that their eyes had turned golden.

Poor!

It is the origin of their biggest dispute, when the real gold coin is placed in front of them, many people do not hesitate to throw their original ideas out of the clouds.

"It's a good place to talk about them by the light of a glowing water bottle." Gavin didn't pay so much attention to it, instead of tossing back and forth, it was better to quickly cut through the mess, "I am going to establish a glass water lamp production factory in your village, which is what you call a luminous water bottle, and I have prepared two sets of plans at present."

First, I spent a lot of money to buy all the ownership of the canals from you, and when the glass lamp production plant is built, I will give priority to hiring hired workers from your village to produce it, and the wages will be paid every month, and there will be no arrears.

The villagers of Nimir Village will hold collective shares in this factory, and when the factory makes money, it will be divided according to the shares you hold, and the employees of this production plant will also be recruited from your village first, and the employment is also paid monthly employment money, which is considered a production cost and has nothing to do with the collective shares you hold.

As long as you are willing to cooperate, no matter which plan you choose, I will leave a deposit of 100,000 gold coins in your village, but you need to sign a confidentiality agreement with me to ensure that you will not disclose the manufacturing method of glass water lamps to any outsiders, and it is strictly forbidden to produce glass water lamps without permission, except for those approved by our factory. ”

The difficulty of imitation of glass water lanterns is not particularly high, as long as you understand the process, you can draw a scoop according to the gourd, Gavin's current confidentiality agreement is just a means of prevention, and the competing businessmen who get the news will be delayed day by day, before their imitations come out, seize the largest share, and the rest is to enter the normal commercialization mode such as price wars, and it is impossible to monopolize like ghost wine.

"100,000 Golden Lion Deposit? Wouldn't it be that each of us could get more than 200 golden lions, then all of our years of investment would be recovered. ”

"The deposit alone is 100,000 yuan, so isn't the cost of buying the canal higher than this, how much is it?"

"You haven't said how much you're going to spend on our aqueducts?"

"yes, how much are you willing to spend on our aqueduct?"

"You tell us a price before we can consider it."

Those villagers of Nimir Village are not straight eyes this time, but their eyes are shining with golden light, even if these three boxes of golden lions are dazzling, they have nothing to do with them, they can only get by, but the deposit has a direct relationship with them.

I didn't expect that the canal that they regarded as chicken ribs and longed to dismantle would be so valuable.

All the people were itching and asked about the real price of the canal, and they couldn't be blamed for their short-sightedness, they were just a group of farmers, where did they have such a high business acumen, and they could easily see through which of the two plans was more profitable.

Gavin launched the mode of smashing people with money, and directly dropped a bombshell: "One million, as long as all the villagers in your village agree and are willing to sign a buyout agreement with me, I will pay one million golden lions at once." ”

In fact, in the face of such an innovative industry, Gavin could take advantage of the ignorance of these villagers and buy the canal at a lower price, without even throwing out the second plan.

But he is not the kind of profiteer who purely aims to collect money, at least he opens all kinds of factories and expands all kinds of new industries, not simply to make money, but just to piggyback, to bring wealth to more people, to show them the way to make money, to collect their favor to the greatest extent, and one day, when they are ready to dabble in trade, wealth and money priesthood, they will naturally become their first believers.

"A million golden lions?"

"A million Golden Lion?!"

"One Million Golden Lion ?!?"

All of a sudden, all the people in the audience were incredibly exclamations, and each one was more high-pitched, each one sharper than the other, and the same sentence expressed countless meanings, shock, disbelief, and so on.

"One million golden lions, what are you waiting for, hurry up and sign the agreement, the canal in our village is yours."

"I also agree, if we have a million golden lions, just take out half of them, we can go to a more convenient place to buy a manor larger than our village, and we don't have to deal with the goo of the blasted shrimp and those deadly electric eels at all."

"That's right, as long as we have money, we can do whatever we want to do, those who are willing to do business to do business, those who are willing to plant grapes to grow grapes, even if they move to Susar City, if a family has tens of thousands of golden lions, they also have the capital to live."

"Hey, if you want me to say, going to Susar City is the stupidest decision, tens of thousands of golden lions just let you have the capital to live, and it is still the lowest level of the entire city, where is there to buy a small manor elsewhere, the local lord is more comfortable? After planting the land all their lives, shouldn't we relax and relax? ”

The villagers of Nimir who gathered here did not hesitate, men, women and children, to support the proposal.

As for whether Gavin can come up with a million golden lions, the fanatical crowd forgot to think about it for a while, they were completely led into inertial thinking by Gavin's previous arrogance of spending thousands of dollars, and lost their ability to think in a short period of time, and completely followed his train of thought, and many frauds and pyramid schemes operate through this model.

One million golden lions is not a small amount.

At the beginning, Gavin slaughtered the young red dragon of the scourge of the East Road, and the cash directly from the dragon's nest was only more than 500,000 Nubao (Cormier's Golden Lion and Sambia's Nubao are almost equivalent in the market, and the two are common in most places in the Cormier Kingdom and the Sambia Kingdom), which is his accumulation of more than ten years of plunder.

In the Kingdom of Cormyr, it is able to buy a medium-sized castle, a large estate, or a medium-sized chamber of commerce with people and goods.

When the army of conquerors first embarked on the road to conquest, Gavin had no more than two million liquid funds in his hands.
