Casals's payment was completed on the seventh day after the interview, when Li Lin had just explained the four arithmetic to the elves.

The bearded old fox's movements did not drag for half a minute, and the speed was not fast. In a backward environment where there were no convenient means of communication such as the Internet, telephone, and telegraph, and even a nationwide postal communication system had not been established, we contacted livestock dealers, agricultural tool dealers, seed merchants, and horse-drawn cart dealers to prepare and deliver all the goods on the list. It took only seven days, which was a feat.

For the sake of the old fox's hard work, Li Lin gave up his plan to discuss with him what was going on with the [livestock prices have risen sharply recently]. When the old fox took 10 florins, he repeatedly emphasized this [objective factor], and Li Lin did not debunk this half-truth on the spot.

It is not surprising that the prices of seeds, agricultural implements and livestock have risen during the spring planting season, and Charlemagne has recently requisitioned horses and vehicles from the private sector to bring supplies to Lapland. But if the rise can reach so much, it is worth studying whether it is a middleman or something else that has gone wrong.

At present, he can only let the old fox take advantage of it, and he does not have the strength to turn his face, so he can only concede part of his interests for the time being to ensure that the cooperation will not break the situation, and to complete the capital accumulation in the future, he will never allow this kind of thing to happen again.

After completing the inventory and delivery, Casals left Li Lin's tent and carriage with four large boxes of exquisite and gorgeous porcelain and a satisfied smile, and when the carriages completely disappeared from sight, the elves of Niforheim could no longer hold back their emotions and rushed towards the long-awaited supplies, trembling hands and carefully caressing the farm tools, cattle and seeds, and some even made a small gasping sound.

[A simple mindset that is faithful to feelings].

The actions of the simple boys and girls on the sidelines, Li Lin, who contributed to the deal, was not thinking about the business that had ended, he crossed his arms, his fingers tapped a silent rhythm, and after the indifferent groove was spit out, a new round of evaluation and adjustment began.

Lacking living materials and foreign communication for a long time, the social system of the elves is a clan rural society in an extremely poor environment. For them, the land and the crops are the best things. Their economic model is also to meet the needs of a small area of circulating structures that can survive. Buying them the necessities of farming is undoubtedly a good move. The short journey out of the valley to purchase broadened the horizons and insights of the younger generation of elves, and finally threw a breath of fresh air into their closed small society, laying the necessary foundation for future changes.

But it is never easy to change the deep-rooted backwardness of a closed society, even if it has already endured some stimulus. It is still difficult to let the idea of change take root in the hearts of the elves, and looking at these children who are excited with farm tools and livestock, the arduousness of the ideological work can be roughly estimated.

Peasant women, mountain springs, and a little field - the ideal rural life, the elves who live in extreme poverty yearn for a quiet life in the idyll, and they are easily satisfied with a slightly improved life. And "satisfaction", which is easy to develop into laziness, is in great conflict with Li Lin's hidden but still aggressive plan. If you look at the dangerous case where the dragons are extremely low in their interest in reproducing offspring, it will be clear that the [easy to satisfy] thing is really not in line with the current plan, and it must be corrected anyway.

Several scenarios have been prepared and a feasibility study has been initiated. A few of the more radical ones may lead to damage and casualties in the elven villages, but the study of the plan will continue. ...,

The plan proceeds in the first place, and sooner or later there will be a sacrifice within the limits of what is bearable, and such a sacrifice is necessary and reasonable. It is equally inevitable to formulate, communicate, and then implement the necessary sacrificial program at some point in the future.

"Thank you. ”

The gentle voice like the warm spring wind brushed the eardrums, and the gentle mask that had not yet been removed was immediately activated, and a faint smile responded to the girl who walked into the side to thank her.

"Again, so polite, I've just done a trivial thing. ”

"[Excessive modesty is hypocrisy]. You used to say that to me, right?"

The counterattack also used Li Lin's own arguments. Brunhill's face glowed with a slight smug look that had triumphed in mischief.

"It is the duty of a man to maintain even hypocritical humility before a lady, and a beautiful lady undoubtedly deserves such treatment. ”

After the self-deprecating words, he bowed humbly. The movements are as smooth as those elegant and modest aristocratic gentlemen in fairy tales, rather than the cunning teenagers who fool girls with little tricks.

The girl, who was a little happy and embarrassed by Li Lin, blushed slightly, and after taking a few breaths in a row, the girl warrior put on a stern face and asked:

"Why don't we accept the method of gold payment, but let that person buy our goods on their behalf......? Although I don't know much about business, it's not a pleasant thing to be suspicious of others. But I think if we buy these things ourselves, it's a bit of a hassle, but we won't be cut in the middle. ”

"yes, that bearded guy doesn't look very believable!"

Holding her sister's neck from behind, Freya couldn't see the complaining on her mischievous face, and said with a wicked smile.

"That guy is always staring at people's breasts in a daze, he must be trying to stretch out his groping hand to someone!

"That can't happen, right?"

Li Lin sounded a little difficult to justify, and all the elves except Freya agreed that no one believed that the bearded Castile who didn't feel very reliable just by looking at his appearance would have the concept of the Divine Horse Gymnastics in his head. Again, no one believed that anyone would like Freya's ...... Even after repeated consideration, it can only be described as the undeveloped body of a washboard, and the boldness and pungency of the little wild cat all the time, there are only three men other than Li Lin who will pursue Freya.

Pedophiles, madmen who don't know how to live or die, poor breast-hobbed idiots - all of them are the ones who have a huge gap with [normal men], and the only one who is [normal] always keeps a safe distance from her......

"I think that guy is staring at the box you're sitting in, and the bottles and cans in the box...... Oops!!!!!"

Thor's words are the truth, and there are no words that offend Freya in them. Still, he was quick to speak for his heart—a kick to the testimony that porcelain was more attractive than a maiden.

"Why do you want to let that unreliable guy buy it? ”

Retract the demonic claws that ravaged Thor's toes. The little wildcat asked, sticking out her tongue.

"There is no better option than Casals. ”

The lack of emotion gave the note a somber tone, and the elves were a little confused by the sudden change in atmosphere, except for the thoughtful expressions on Tyr and Brunhill's faces.

"If we buy it ourselves, because we are living people who don't know much about the market, in order not to be slaughtered, we buy back some useless waste. We can only spend a lot of time investigating market prices, merchant reputation, quality inspection, bargaining and so on. Buying by someone who is familiar with the market can relatively reduce these troubles. ...,

"But he's going to take a profit from it, right?

Raising his fingers, his modest countenance once again revealing the sarcasm of his negotiation with Casals, Li Lin asked mockingly at the elves waiting for answers:

"Freya, who can sell him porcelain but us?"

"Of course it's just you...... Damn it. ”

The clever little wildcat finally came to his senses, and the minds of the other elves finally turned the corner.

Monopoly - means unlimited profiteering and maximum priority and initiative in commercial dealings.

Li Lin was the only one in Wilt who mastered the process of making porcelain, and some of the key details were not clear to even those who had watched the whole process.

Unique technology, Li Lin did and controlled this without asking. Casals, who could not find other porcelain sources, could be replaced by someone else, and as long as it took some time, the vultures who smelled the wind and the smell of profit would rush to Li Lin's side in groups, and at that time, it would be a dangerous suspense whether Casals would be able to eat all the porcelain.

Unable to take such a huge risk with such a relationship, the shrewd black marketeer quickly figured out the key. Although there are some painful expenses and no roadblocks to Li Lin's development, it is obviously much more important to become the sole porcelain dealer.

"So he won't pay you the fake gold coins, and he won't dare to mess with the goods delivered to us. ”

Tyr laughed and gave Li Lin a thumbs up.

"It's just that I don't dare to give us shoddy things, and I can't take that guy's hand away from us for the time being. Our strength is still too weak. But sooner or later, I'll let that fox remember that don't play tricks in front of me, and that doing his job is his only way out. ”

Li Lin blinked as if he were grimacing, a playful gesture that made the elves laugh out loud.

Most of what Li Lin had said so far had come true, and the elves believed that it was only a matter of time before the remaining ones were fulfilled.

"It's so boring, you can't escape your calculations for anything, and I don't know what kind of guy can compare to you. ”

Freya's praise sounded more like a distorted sigh, a brilliant young man, a supernatural being who seemed to have "mastered everything" in the world, and an outstanding person who never made mistakes—nothing more frustrating than the elven girl who claimed to be intelligent and regarded such a Li Lin as her destined husband.

"It's not a hasty definition, Freya, the world is a very big concept. Isn't it too arrogant to lift me to the top of a world that accommodates so many possibilities?"
