The Patriarch of Feng Lide's family was shocked: "What? Is it... really serious?"
The concubine sighed and said, "It's more serious? I'm afraid this is the biggest crisis our family has faced for so many years!"
The Patriarch said: "This... isn't it?"
The concubine said: "Our current situation is like digging a well. We put all our manpower and material resources on this well, and then wait for it to come out of the clear water. But we dug, digging, We have been digging for a long time, and we have invested a lot, but there is no water coming out of this well. In this case, what do we usually do?"
The owner was stunned for a moment, and then he thought for a while and said, "If you go to dig a well elsewhere, your original efforts will not be in vain? But what if you keep digging and there is no water? I think we should continue to dig. Maybe dig deeper and there will be well water."
"This kind of thinking is the most dangerous!"
The concubine said in a deep voice: "Since we are committed, we must see the results... If we succeed, it is good. It can be said that our persistence has made us succeed, which is a good thing. But if we fail, no, when everything we do Exhausted, people are dying of thirst, but have not dug the well water, then we are stupid. This world always looks at the results and does the same thing, and according to the different results, it becomes wisdom Two very different things from stupidity."
The owner frowned and said: "Now we are digging a well?"
The concubine nodded and said: "And it's more terrifying than we dig a well alone...! The current situation is equivalent to knowing that there is water in it before, and we can be sure that we will get more benefits, so we chose here. I dig a well before I choose to buy a new ship. But the white ship appeared. It was like a well next to our well. Someone dug a well, and it was deeper than the one we dug. The water naturally flows to the well. It’s there, and no matter how deep we dig, no matter how hard we persist, in fact, we will not be able to see this well in the end..."
The concubine sighed, and then frowned, "This thing is weird. The white ship... According to the master, it is amazing. I have never heard of anyone in the city owning such a ship. Don’t It is said that our small city, even if it is placed in a very large city, should be an extremely powerful existence. Even in a capital city, it can still occupy its own place. Such a guy... How could it be possible to come to a small city like ours? Isn’t it weird that there is more room to hold yourself in such a small place?"
"Damn bastard!" The owner said bitterly, "Who knows what the owner of that boat is crazy! But I heard that the owner of the boat seems to be Liya."
"Liya? The Liya who runs the hotel?"
"Yes, that's her."
The concubine was stunned, and then frowned: "How is this possible? Their family has lived in this city for so many years, and generations of talents have accumulated in such a small hotel, and now only Liya is struggling to maintain it. Why did she suddenly own such a big ship? Huh? By the way, the iron thing that is raging in the city now seems to be in that hotel."
The Patriarch heard it, but was stunned. He knew the news before the concubine, but he had never thought about it.
I couldn't help asking, "Can't it? An... Ordinary person, and then suddenly has the source of that kind of ironware, and also has this kind of magical ship... Isn't it someone behind her? And that person's purpose? What is it? Is it... just to deal with our Feng Lide family?!"
"This should be impossible." The concubine thought about it for a while, and then shook her head: "I heard that those ironware... are really good. I heard someone say that they don't sell this ironware to our house, but among them A relative bought the weapon for thirty copper coins, which is even better than the one bought for fifty silver coins! That man is a practicing family, and what he said is naturally credible. This means that , Those ironwares are really high-class and excellent, and this kind of excellence... Not only is it placed in our place, or in other words, it is placed in the capital or other big cities, rich places, and it will have its own place! How can a person with such ability pay attention to such a small city and have trouble with the rich and noble people in a small city like ours? It doesn't make sense."
The Patriarch thought for a while and nodded with a wry smile: "Yes, although we are considered big gates in this city, if we look at the whole city state, it really doesn't count as anything. And... I heard that today They came up with a Sacred Dragon Sword and said it would sell for 100,000 gold coins! Haha, a sword for 100,000 gold coins is not something that can happen in a small city like ours."
"One hundred thousand?! Then you can buy this entire city!"
"Yeah, that's how it is, that's why I can't figure it out..."
The concubine thought for a while, and then said: "The priority is not to understand what the person behind the scenes is going to do, but what we should do now."
"Well," the Patriarch nodded and said, "I think it is the same reason. The most important thing now is that we must survive this difficulty! At this stage, it's okay. Before listening to your story about digging a well, I wondered... I don't want to do it. The kind of people who know that there is no water and still go to dig wells! Nowadays, the cost of each day is too large, the cost of boats, the cost of personnel, and we can't make much money at this stage, so... Why not sell it! What do you think?"
The concubine sighed, shook her head and said, "I'm afraid no one will buy it for now."
"Naturally not for big boats, those boats? Really not, sell them at a cheap price? Someone will buy them, right?"
The owner thinks that his method is good, a bit of a lasting fight.
But the concubine shook her head again and said, "Hey, if the capable person behind Liya came out by herself, everything would be fine. After all, there is still something'unstable'. But now Yu Liya is in the early stage. , This matter is much more difficult! The main reason is trust. Liya has lived in this city-state for her entire life, her ancestors have been here for generations, so no one would have thought that she would leave one day, so no matter what, the daily fishing would be a success. The fishermen who have had the sweetness should prefer to work for Liya, rather than buying another boat for themselves, to live with fear and hunger all day, so even if our The boat is now sold at a cheap price, I am afraid that no one will buy it."
"Damn it!"
The Patriarch's fist hit the table heavily, and then said: "This is not okay, that is not okay... What should we do? Is it impossible to starve to death like this?!"
The concubine said: "This is not enough, I think... No matter what the people behind Liya are, the things they have will definitely not be limited to a small city like ours, so they will leave sooner or later, if We insist on staying, then when they leave, we will still be the overlord of this city-state."
"But... it's hard to stand up. We have already made money for us because of buying a ship before..."
"It really doesn't work... Why don't you borrow some from Louis's house?"
