Hearing what Li Shu said, Su Chen understood.
When the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds.
In the world, there are those who rely on luck to feed, some who rob for money, and some who rely on hard work to make a living. Naturally, those who are flexible in mind and cling to high branches are indispensable.
Li Shu is such a person.
This person is not a warrior, and he has no strength. He was given silver to come to the Emerald Valley and came in with a team of warriors.
Although there is no force, this man's brain is good enough. After receiving the news that there is a star silver mine in the Emerald Valley, he made up his mind to make a fortune here. But he didn't plan to dig for star silver. He didn't have much energy. He digs less and can't grab other people. Even if he finds some broken star silver by luck, he will let others take it.
So he chose to be a helper, and from the moment he entered the valley, he looked around for his thighs to rely on.
However, his luck was obviously not very good. Although he had been looking for several waves before and after, none of them liked him.
This is mainly because the kid's asking price is actually higher.
A source stone for five days.
It should be understood that the value of a source stone is about the same as one or two red gold, and a shop assistant usually only earns one or two red gold after working for a whole month.
In other words, this kid's asking price is six times that of a normal person, so it's no wonder that no one wants him.
However, Li Shu insisted on his asking price. He believed that he would meet someone who had money but could show his value.
After talking with Li Shu at this moment, Su Chen also smiled.
"You dare to ask for a price, and you are not afraid that I will kill you in a fit of anger."
Li Shu hurriedly said: "The adults have misunderstood. It is not a small price, but the value of the people here is generally three times higher than that of the outside."
"Oh?" Su Chen was taken aback.
Li Shu already said, "My lord, you think, Emerald Valley is deep in the Crimson Mountains. There are ferocious beasts along the way. The journey is difficult, and it is not easy to get in and out. It is not easy to come here. The same is work, who can run Come here?"
This is so, if it were not for the hope of wealth, who would risk his life to come here
"So the real price of a small one is not six times, in fact, it is only twice." Li Shu smiled and raised two fingers.
"It's a double, you're pretty good at calculating." Su Chen couldn't help but laughed at Li Shu's pros and cons: "Then why do you charge twice as much money as others?"
"It depends on me, Li Shu, who can write and know how to recognize all kinds of minerals." Li Shu replied proudly.
This is an era where military and literature are emphasized. Books are expensive to print and difficult to spread. This further makes it difficult to spread culture. Even the upper-middle class are illiterate, let alone the lower class.
Li Shu can count on literacy, and it is indeed a relatively rare skill.
Su Chen glanced at him with some surprise, then looked around, and said, "But your abilities don't seem to be of much use in this place."
Li Shu blushed.
That's right, so what if he can write? How about being flexible
Here, only strength is the only thing needed.
Without enough power, even if the star silver is collected, it can't be kept.
Thinking of this, Li Shu sighed again in his heart.
Just when he thought he had failed again, he listened to the boy in front of him saying: "But if you are lucky, you can write and count, maybe it is indeed of some use to me."
What
Li Shu looked up in surprise.
But I saw that Su Chen had already moved forward: "Let’s use you for a day and tell me about the situation in Emerald Valley. If you are really capable, and it is indeed as I expected, I can consider using you officially."
Li Shu was overjoyed and hurried to follow up: "Thanks to the kindness of the adults, Li Shuding is dedicated to serving the son. By the way, the emerald valley, if you say the easiest place to mine, is still..."
Su Chen has interrupted him and said: "I don't want to know where the most mines are produced here. I just want to know how many people are mining in the Emerald Valley now, how the forces are distributed, and how they spend their food and clothing on weekdays. …"
Su Chen has made a series of requests.
Li Shu was a little dizzy, wondering why Su Chen didn't care about mines, but cared about what people were doing.
However, this Li Shu really has some abilities. Although Su Chen's questions were a bit tricky, he was able to answer most of them:
"Master Hui, there are currently between 500 and 600 people in Jade. Among them, there are 32 Yuanshi, oh, you are 33. There are more than 400 Orion and warriors, and the rest are all These are ordinary people, come here to try their luck."
"How about the cultivation of those Geniuses?"
"The specifics are not clear, but there are three most powerful Geniuses here, namely, Death Lan Jianshou, Scarlet Demon Needle Tomoha, and Narcissus Zhou Yuniang. These three occupy the three mines that produce the most in Emerald Valley. Point, it’s said that they are all Geniuses in the blood-smelling realm. The Death Lan swordsman is a bit withdrawn, he is the only one, and he doesn’t like to talk. The two adults, Scarlet Devil Needle and Narcissus, gathered some people to mine for them. These two groups are the most powerful, but they don’t seem to get along well with each other."
Su Chen finally took a look at Li Shu with admiration, and he was able to collect a lot of information in advance, which shows that Li Shu is really a caring person.
Then Su Chen asked some more questions, but they were all about the situation of the miners in the Emerald Valley, but he had no interest in the Star Silver Mine itself.
While listening, Su Chen also took a pen and paper to write on the paper.
When he understood it almost, Su Chen handed Li Shu a piece of paper and said: "I will leave for a few days next. I want you to do one thing in the days when I am away."
Li Shu took a look, and there was a wooden house painted on it, and the background was in the Emerald Valley.
"My lord wants me to build a house?" Li Shu understood and blurted out.
"Yes, build a wooden house for me according to the requirements on the map. You have five days, and you can find it by yourself. This is money." Su Chen handed Li Shu twelve taels of pure gold.
He didn't worry that Li Shu would take the money and run away. No one dared to rely on Yuan Qishi's account.
"But my lord, you came here and did not collect stars and silver, but built a wooden house... What is this for?" Li Shu was puzzled.
"I didn't plan to go picking star silver." Su Chen replied: "I just plan to open a tavern and grocery store here to do some business."
"Business? Pubs and grocery stores?" Li Shu was dumbfounded.
"Yes." Su Chen replied: "Selling wine, selling fierce beast meat, selling mining hoes, selling utensils needed for life, pots and pans... So many people here are looking for Xingyin, they must live. One day or two days can make do, but the days are long, but it will be uncomfortable. If there is no one to provide services for them, then I will come. Besides..."
Su Chen paused, and said, "We can still recycle Star Silver. Those who have got Star Silver but are afraid of being known, and don’t want to be robbed by others, just sell it to me. It’s not bad to replace it with what you need in life. s Choice."
