(Phew, my niece’s face looks better today, and there is not much congestion in her abdomen. However, the doctor is still hesitant and refuses to say something for sure. She went to the blood station early to donate 400 ml of blood. All she met at the blood station were blood from family members. , I bet this is the hospital’s behavior to increase blood volume for the blood bank,)
These considerations flashed through Chen Shihao's mind, but he said with some embarrassment on his face: "Shopkeeper Huang, it's not that I don't want to trade with you, but the goods are really out of stock now,"
Huang Yundong stared at Chen Shihao carefully, gritted his teeth, and lowered his voice and said: "Give me a 10% rebate, 2 points a piece,"
Chen Shihao was stunned for a moment, but he still smiled bitterly and said: "It's not that I don't want to sell, it's really out of stock."
Huang Yundong pondered for a moment, then raised three fingers as if he was risking his life: "3 points a piece, 5% rebate." Seeing Chen Shihao still hesitant, he couldn't help but said harshly: "Brother, I promise not to inquire about the source of your crystal. I just When I get the goods from you, whether you dug them yourself or purchased them, I will only accept your goods. You have to help me. The higher-ups are chasing me very closely. These three points are my maximum authority. , How about I don’t want any kickbacks, bro? How about you tell the truth,”
Chen Shihao naturally knew that there was no possibility of further exploitation, so he couldn't help but smile: "Since I said this, well, I will trade some with you after a while. As for the rebate, it is still the 10% I set at the beginning. Well, after all, without my brother's help, I can't get this price, we have to keep going," Chen Shihao said with a smile on his face, but his heart went crazy, because he found that he could actually say it so smoothly and with so much skill. Come on.
Huang Yundong's eyes flashed with joy. This boy really got on the road, but he still asked eagerly: "How long will it take? Tell me the truth, more or less quantity is no problem, but the sooner the better." Ah, I can’t wait,”
"About seven days. If we don't have seven days, there's really nothing we can do," Chen Shihao thought for a moment and said.
"Seven days in reality," Huang Yundong blinked.
"Brother, are you kidding? Seven days in reality is not a matter of an instant for us. It is seven days here." Chen Shihao shook his head helplessly and smiled, but his heart became wary. Even though this guy said it so nicely, in one sentence So I started to gather information.
"Haha, in the rush, I forgot that there is a difference between reality and time here," Huang Yundong smiled sheepishly: "The 7 days here are about 10 hours in reality, okay, then we have agreed oh,"
Chen Shihao blinked, 7 days here is equal to 10 hours in reality, which means that he is still sleeping, but Huang Yundong can get a batch of crystals, who gave it to him, 10 hours later in reality, the sun crystals have not been made yet Ah, it was me seven days later in another world. At that time, I had already returned from a foreign country.
Well, the time between this other world and reality is really very confusing. It’s okay that everyone has no contact in reality. If the people around you also enter the other world, the transfer of things will be very weird. I haven’t given it yet. , the other party already has it, so wouldn’t it mean that there are two identical things out of thin air? This kind of thing should not exist. I really don’t know how Wu Lao will solve this problem.
Chen Shihao, who felt that his thoughts were very confused, saw Huang Yundong rubbing his hands and said with a smile: "Brother, since the time has been set, the more the better, preferably hundreds, otherwise it really won't count,"
Chen Shihao immediately put aside this very difficult to understand question and said casually: "I can't guarantee this. Let's see about it then." Then the two of them said goodbye to each other, and Chen Shihao took the horses and ox cart with him. Rush to the territory.
Although as long as there is time and the number of machines is expanded, there will definitely be as many solar crystals as you need, but who would be stupid enough to take out so many? Doesn't this mean that you have mastered the mineral source of that kind of crystal? It is an act of seeking death.
Returning to Shanxia Village, the villagers were stunned again. Even the residents were stunned. My master was too generous. He actually purchased 10 horses at once. Horses are rare in this mountainous area. Of course, the ones that match them are , Cavalry is hard to find, but seeing my master riding on a tall horse, everyone has an excited look on his face, especially the young and strong ones, looking at those horses with hot eyes. As for the sickly devil horse, he is naturally attracted by it. The citizens ignored it.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows very well that the things this lord purchases are all for the betterment of the people in his small territory. Look at the clothes, farm tools, weapons, and magic cows that are distributed to the people free of charge. Now these horses are naturally also the lord's. It is used by the people, and anyone who can ride a horse must be a strong and powerful man.
Originally, these young men were a little scared because they couldn't ride a horse, but when they saw that the lord actually knew how to ride a horse, they were naturally very happy. If they learned to ride with the lord, and if the lord formed a guard, wouldn't it be a sure win? The cavalry.
Looking at this, you may think that these subjects will only ask for but not give. In fact, this is not the case. It is very normal in this world for the subjects to receive the living materials given by the lord for free, and it is a must when the lord takes office, during festivals, and in disasters. In addition, the lord has the power of life and death over his subjects, and the subjects not only have to pay taxes to the lord, but also work and serve as soldiers for the lord. When the lord enjoys these, he naturally has to provide security and development to the subjects. , the guarantee of rescue, so the relationship between the two is very close.
If the relationship between the lord and the subjects is good, the lord can roam around the territory without worrying about food and clothing, because according to the regulations, the subjects are obliged to serve the lord a meal every month. It does not need to be rich, just All you need to do is take the daily food of the people. Of course, the people can only entertain the lord. There are other regulations for the canonized vassals. Therefore, such a lord can completely let the invaders understand what people's war is.
Of course, there is also the opposite. The lord and the subjects are completely enemies. It is not uncommon for the lord not to dare to leave the castle even half a step without bringing a fully armed guard.
Chen Shihao bought so many horses, naturally it was not just for transportation. Devils, tiger cats, and nobles from enemy countries would come and go in this place, so he had to prepare armed guards. So after he waited for the people to settle down the horses enthusiastically, he immediately Everyone in the small territory gathered together.
Looking at the old, young, women and children in front of him, Chen Shihao couldn't help but nod. There were a total of 34 subjects in front of him, and there were only 11 adult men. Although they were a little less, they were the capital for him to start a business in this foreign world.
After glancing at everyone, Chen Shihao said: "You all also know that our place is not safe, so in order to ensure the safety of the territory, I am planning to form a guard. I will only recruit 5 people. Once selected, they will receive a monthly salary of 5 shillings, daily food, clothing and equipment." I'll be responsible for it." This price is not given casually. Chen Shihao inquired about the monthly salary and benefits of nursing homes in the town, and the benefits given now are definitely more than twice those of the nursing homes in the town.
As for the number of guards, there is no limit for the lord, even the lowest subordinate lord. As long as you have money and people, it is no problem to form a guard of hundreds of thousands of people, because everyone is a shareholder of the kingdom, you have more guards It means that you are powerful, so it doesn't matter if you take refuge with you, or even be the king for you, as long as you have the ability, but in this world where gods exist, no matter how many armies are formed by ordinary people, it is useless. The most important thing is the warriors. There are so many professionals such as knights, magicians, etc.
The residents were not ignorant of the market, and naturally all of them had bright eyes, and the 11 young men were rubbing their fists and palms, and each of them looked at the people around them eagerly.
However, they were instantly divided into two camps. There were three young men on the farmer side, and eight young men on the hunter side. Their side was nearly three times the size of the other side. The hunters were all showing off their muscles proudly. Their family members also cheered, as if Chen Shihao's five bodyguard candidates were about to be selected among them.
Chen Shihao immediately noticed that the two old hunters and the two middle-aged farmers were secretly looking at him. The two old hunters looked worried and scared, but the two farmers looked proud.
When Chen Shihao thought about it, he understood why they had opposite looks. They probably all thought that the Orions were too numerous and too powerful. If all the members of the guard were selected from Orions, it would be really powerful. A wise lord would definitely Such a thing will not be allowed to happen.
Chen Shihao smiled, not to mention anything else, just that these people were all ordinary people, he didn't care at all. If anything happened, the kitten would be able to solve the problem, so he raised his hand to stop the noise and said directly: " The selection rules are very simple, you just need to run," he said, taking the lead and turning around and leaving this small stronghold.
"Run," all the residents followed him out in a daze.
Seeing that the young and generous master led all the people to leave the small stronghold and gather by the roadside, waiting for the harvest day to come and there would be nothing to do, the villagers of the mountain valley naturally gathered together with great curiosity, although now the two sides were treated differently. Although they hated each other, Chen Shihao's subjects were very happy to show off their treatment to the villagers in the mountain gorge, and naturally they also showed off their master's recruitment of guards.
"What, the monthly remuneration of 5 shillings, food, clothing and equipment are all the responsibility of the master," the villagers all drooled when they heard this. In this damn place, if they can get food for themselves, there are a lot of people willing to work. Now Not only food and clothing are provided, but there is also a salary of 5 shillings. It is really jealous. How could they have such a good lord? Their own lord has long forgotten about his subjects. .
Listening to the envy and jealousy of the Shanxia villagers, Chen Shihao suddenly had a flash of inspiration and shouted to the Shanxia villagers: "I will also recruit 5 helpers among you Shanxia villagers, and the treatment will be the same as that of the Guards members. Those who want to join can come to me." "Come here," Chen Shihao specifically mentioned the word "helper" because the villagers in Shanxia are the subjects of Earl West. They cannot be recruited into his own guard, but they can be recruited as helpers because they are asking people to do work. , these helpers had to pay taxes to their lords after receiving the money, although Earl West had never collected taxes in this place.
The scene suddenly became silent, and the faces of Chen Shihao's subjects all changed. Although they were just helpers, they were treated the same as members of the Guards, that is, they were official Guardsmen. In other words, the master directly took out 10 Guards quotas and gave half of them to Shanxia.
If all the people in the village were to be recruited from the people of the territory like themselves, wouldn't it mean that only one person would lose the election?
