"I didn't see anything!"
Lu Yu hurriedly said loudly.
The prince said calmly: "It's too late."
He tilted his head, propped his chin with one hand, and said calmly: "As you guessed, we have no way to make this country prosperous. We can only watch it decline day by day, so we can only give The people hope and try to convince everyone that it is the Xuan Mingzhu. This pearl is very precious, so we chose it. I heard that it is a gift from the gods in the world. It is almost the most precious treasure in the entire continent. There are many legends about it, so... It is most suitable to be used as an excuse to become people’s false hope. Yes, as you said, this is a place where hope has been lost, so we can only create one Come, but unfortunately, you still see through."
"No!"
Lu Yu hurriedly shook his head and said, "I didn't see through anything, I didn't see anything, oh... What's the matter with these eyes? It's a bit flowery, and I can't see anything clearly. And these ears, why are they a little hallucinating? What Xuan Mingzhu? We didn't hear anything. By the way, we have to leave as soon as possible, and then to complete the task, we have to find Xuan Mingzhu."
Lu Yu really wanted to turn around and leave.
The rest of the people watched Lu Yu's performance and couldn't help but say in their hearts, now you fucking understand? What did you do earlier? Do you want to hide after doing such a big thing yourself? The princes have all had a showdown, can they escape it? !
"Don't be nervous," the Lord Prince couldn't help but smiled and said: "This king doesn't like to do murderous things, but... if you have to do it, you can only do so. After all, this king is responsible for the entire city. Of course, what the king wants to do most is still want to negotiate a business with you."
Lu Yu blinked in a daze, then turned his head and said, "Talking about business? Let's talk about it earlier, I was so scared."
Then he flipped his hand carelessly and took out a chair from the small world, and sat there directly, with Erlang's legs tilted, quietly waiting for the Prince's words to continue.
The prince said: "This is the most precious bead in the world. How much are you going to spend to buy it?"
In a word, Lu Yu knew it all.
Sure enough, as he thought, why did the prince call him here? Is it because he completed that task? How can it be? Every year, there are many people in the guild who complete various tasks, and there are also very difficult tasks, but the prince has almost never met anyone.
But at this time, Lu Yu was called, so that means he must have his own reasons.
Lu Yu had to think about what he had, worthy of being sent by others to such an important person as Wellington, and he should also be invited.
In fact, Lu Yu knew what he had.
He is rich!
There is a lot of money.
In other words, this was originally a game he had set.
Lu Yu has never been a big spender. Since he was born from the Lu Family in Linjiang City, the problem he has faced... is "qian sorrow". When he walked out of Linjiang City with Xiao Ruan, they just took a few with them. It's nothing more than a mithril ingot. Whenever he goes to any place, the first thing Lu Yu needs to do is to make money, because he believes that only by making money can he gain a foothold in one place, and that's the truth.
But since he started in the trade union, he has spent money lavishly, even a little crazy, which is incomprehensible to outsiders... Behaviour of wealth.
So why did he do this
In fact, it is very simple, he just wants to let people know that he is very rich.
Because he learned from various sources that the Delsa city-state is very poor.
He has what others need, and this becomes his hole card.
The process of spending money is just to keep waving his cards for everyone to see.
Ever since, finally, the biggest fish... got the bait!
Lu Yu smiled lightly, and then said: "How much is it, this question... You can really say whatever you want, as long as you say the price, generally speaking, I will accept it, but there is one thing I don't know when to say it inappropriately. ."
The prince said humanely: "But it doesn't hurt to say."
Lu Yu said: "In fact, I am not short of money. Compared to everyone already knows, but the same, you are actually not short of money, Lord Prince."
The prince smiled, a little embarrassed, and then said: "Oh? You think that everything you see now, including the status quo of the entire Great Wind City, is just an illusion? Like this mysterious pearl?"
"No, no," Lu Yu waved his hand: "These are true, but to be more specific, they are not short of money, to be precise, they are short of clothing and food, and lack of job opportunities, and hard work. Hope. The only thing that is not lacking is money, although everyone wants money now."
The prince frowned and said, "I don't understand what you said like this."
Lu Yu said: "Well... OK, let's make an analogy. If the Lord Prince suddenly has 10,000 gold coins in his hand, how does the Lord Prince want to spend it?"
The prince said: "Ten thousand gold coins? Some are less. But how to spend it... Naturally, use it to buy food first. There is a small city in the east of Gale City, which is plagued by locust plagues. Buy food and go to disaster relief in time, so that they can Survive this time."
Lu Yu nodded and said, "Well, when I have money, I immediately think of disaster relief. The prince is really sympathetic to the people."
The prince said: "It should be so."
Lu Yu asked again: "Then dare to ask the prince, where did the prince decide to buy this grain?"
The prince said: "The surrounding coastal areas are relatively stable now, and a lot of waste is waiting for prosperity. Many places also have a margin. It is a good choice to buy from there.
Lu Yu said, "Well, it makes sense. For example, the Prince bought it from a town, so there is a lot of food in this town, but out of thin air, there are 10,000 gold coins. These gold coins will naturally belong to those big grain merchants. , And then these food merchants will spend the money to buy more land or more supplies, maybe they will raise a few women, and then enjoy a better life..."
The prince smiled and said: "It should be like this."
Lu Yu said: "So now, the people have a lot of money, and then use the money in exchange for the necessities of their lives, such as... a kind of fruit, the fruit that most people like to eat, and the food merchants also like it. They I have money, so I want to buy these fruits. The fruit sellers see that their fruits are selling fast and are about to be sold out, so there is only a little left, so they sit on the floor and start the price. The original one copper plate, now it takes ten copper plates. I bought it. So... what was the result? The result is that for most people in that city, they have more money, but they are not willing to eat the fruit. Their lives have not changed much compared to the past. On the contrary, I ate one kind of fruit less... This is just fruit, other things? In fact, because of the purchase of grain by 10,000 gold coins, the whole city has 10,000 gold coins more, which is a lot less. Food, but all other things have not increased. Then I want to ask the Prince, can you eat or drink the ten thousand gold coins? Or can you wear them as clothes?"
