A few days later, at the Purple Marquis’ Mansion.
"Young Master, twenty weapon refiners have been selected, and here is the list." In the study, Mu Liuling came over with a list in his hand and whispered to Chu Tianxiao - although he tried his best to conceal it, there was still a hint of worry in his words.
Mu Liuling really couldn't help but worry.
Even though Chu Tianxiao managed to win back a victory, the chief steward Qiu betrayed him at the last minute. With his connections and persuasion, he successfully took away more than 30% of the remaining weapon refiners in the Tianjue Chu family, causing the weapon refinery industry to be stretched to the limit...
Even though they hastily tightened the manpower, it was still difficult to avoid struggling - this could be seen from the twenty refiners who were urgently summoned this time - only two of them were third-grade refiners, five were second-grade, and the rest were first-grade.
This kind of lineup can only be said to be barely enough to deal with nearly two acres of wasteland, but... there is really no way to mobilize more people.
"Yes." Upon hearing this, Chu Tianxiao did not even raise his head, but just stared at the booklet in his hand, turning over two pages from time to time, "Let the second- and third-grade weapon refiners go back, and use first-grade weapon refiners for these twenty people!"
When these words came out, Mu Liuling was shocked: "Young Master? What did you say?"
Chu Tianxiao waved his hand and said, "It's just refining jewelry, why do we need third-grade or second-grade ones? We are already short of manpower, so let those senior refiners go back to where they came from and put out fires everywhere, and don't cause trouble for me!"
Hearing this, Mu Liuling was speechless. Even this team that was finally squeezed out was a bit struggling to deal with nearly two acres of wasteland. But according to Chu Tianxiao's meaning, this was not necessary? All first-grade weapon refiners
Do I really need to refine jewelry? But refining jewelry... How can I beat the opponent
Before Mu Liuling could figure it out, Chu Tianxiao handed a page of white proclamation next to him to Mu Liuling.
"I have made arrangements for all the equipment refining industries of the Tianjue Chu family. Just follow what is written on this paper when it comes to manpower deployment. Complete this blood transfusion as soon as possible and don't hold me back!"
After hearing this, Mu Liuling was slightly stunned, but she still took the paper and took a look at it. Then she looked at Chu Tianxiao with surprise and disbelief.
The white notice outlined the outline of the Tianjue Chu family's refining industry in detail. The details of the articles were arranged in an orderly manner, layer by layer, down to every store, every piece of land, and even every refiner! Others might not be able to see the subtleties, but Mu Liuling had a high talent for mathematics, and she also studied the discounted good stuff of the big spender system - "Heavenly Bead Divination". She could see the details that ordinary people could hardly perceive.
From high to low, from industry to personnel, this piece of paper that was barely filled with ink was all-encompassing and comprehensive. Even looking at it, Mu Liuling had a strange sense of harmony, as if it was already perfect, in line with the great principles of heaven and earth, and any change would be incomplete...
"Young Master... This is..."
"A little arrangement I wrote while reading. The Tianjue Chu family has been idle in recent years, so it's good that they are facing this incident now. It's a good opportunity for me to change the cards and change the blood... What? What's wrong with it?" Chu Tianxiao still didn't raise his head.
"No... Liu Ling was too surprised... I thought..."
Chu Tianxiao smiled slightly: "There's no need to hide it like that. Being a prodigal son is not a shame for me... Okay, Liu Ling, you give the order and come back quickly. After solving this problem, it's time for us to do our own thing."
"yes."
Mu Liuling bowed and then turned to leave. At this time, Chu Tianxiao quickly flipped through a few pages of the booklet, thought for a while, and then wrote down his thoughts and experiences in another blank notebook. Not long after, Mu Liuling came back.
"Master, everything is ready."
Chu Tianxiao had almost finished reading the booklet at this time, so he closed it and said, "Well... Liu Ling, how much money can we use this time?"
"Except for some properties that cannot be touched, the old lady has already said that this time, everyone in the mansion will do everything to help the young master vent his anger, but..."
Chu Tianxiao said: "I know the difficulty. Dad's place has become a money-making hole. Just tell me directly."
Mu Liuling took a breath and said, "At most there are only 3.5 million spirit coins, and..."
"But it's okay."
"Yes, I heard that the Qin family hired a large number of equipment refiners, purchased a large number of high-quality embryo equipment minerals, and also acquired small pieces of wasteland in order to form an encirclement of us. The momentum is very strong, and the investment is about... 5 million spirit coins." Mu Liuling said, "Most of which was used on the embryo equipment."
The so-called "embryo vessel" can actually be regarded as a prototype of an object. Some are naturally formed, while others are artificially created. They are mostly used in the refining of precious vessels.
Among the major weapon refining formulas that have been passed down in the vast land of China, there is always a saying that "the embryo is the most important", which means that if you want to refine a treasure weapon, you must have a good embryo, because the strength of the spiritual power contained in the embryo will have an irreversible impact on the result of the weapon refining...
So, although in theory even scrap copper and iron can be used as embryos, generally no one would do so, because what is produced by refining in this way is just scrap copper and iron.
At that moment, hearing that the Qin family had invested so much and purchased a large number of high-quality embryos, Chu Tianxiao's eyes narrowed involuntarily.
"… The Qin family is investing a huge sum of money. Where did they get so much money?"
"First, I borrowed a high-quality loan from Baoxuan Gold Bank. Second, the source of the money has not yet been identified."
Chu Tianxiao sighed when he heard this: "This is a big family... For the position of the head of the family, they are willing to do such a thing as aiding the enemy..."
"Young Master, what you mean is..."
"There's no need to investigate this matter any further, and don't inform my father to make him worry. Since Kyoto dares to help the enemy, they won't leave any loopholes. This is probably a plan they set up a few years ago... Maybe, they also want to use me as a soft pawn..."
Chu Tianxiao shook his head and smiled: "I was really underestimated..."
"Then young master, we..."
"No hurry," Chu Tianxiao said calmly, "Don't we have more than three million spirit coins? That's enough. I came back from the Desolate Cloud Ancient Road earlier and bought some goods on the way. I'll use those as embryos to refine jewelry."
"Young Master is talking about... those..."
"What? Did you lose it?"
"No, no... But, but how can those be used as embryos? The total value is less than 100,000 spirit coins... What can be refined from them?" After the betrayal of Chief Steward Qiu, Mu Liuling was appointed to take over the position of Chief Steward. So she knew about the pile of 'junk copper and rotten iron' that Chu Tianxiao bought when he returned - don't doubt it, it was really junk copper and rotten iron, and there was definitely no black ring or shiny secret manual - Chu Tianxiao hadn't 'worn' them at that time, he was definitely a real spendthrift!
The stuff worth more than 100,000 spirit coins was obtained by Chu Tianxiao when he happened to pass by a store and "spent a fortune" on it. There were no treasures in it, not even any decent common utensils.
As for the Qin family, they hired and invited several high-level refiners, carefully selected, and purchased the best embryos at high prices, resulting in an astonishing overall investment. It can be said that this link cannot be sloppy, and the more investment in this link, it often means that the basic output will be more...
But now Chu Tianxiao actually wants to use the "junk copper and iron" that he casually "lost" and worth less than 100,000 spirit coins as the embryo...
Mu Liuling felt that she really couldn't understand! Didn't the young master know that the victory or defeat this time involved the dignity of the Purple Robe Marquis's mansion and was very crucial
In fact, Chu Tianxiao understood the key to the matter better than her, and he was more concerned about suppressing his destined prince, but he just wanted more.
This time, Chu Tianxiao wanted not only to win the business war, but more importantly, he wanted to obtain the qualification to attend the Autumn Night Banquet.
Buying refined jewelry, attending the Autumn Night Banquet... These two things seem to be unrelated, but Chu Tianxiao knows that with a little trickery, they can be treated as one thing.
Since you can accomplish your goal in one go, why not do it
But to do so, you must win in the most unexpected and shocking way!
This way... you can catch someone's eye...
Of course, there was no need to express these thoughts at this moment. Chu Tianxiao smiled slightly and said, "Okay, Liu Ling, don't be surprised. Isn't it because we are short of money that we need to save costs? Come on, follow me, Young Master, and we will go pick out some cauldrons for refining equipment."
Mu Liuling sighed softly and consoled himself in his heart. Fortunately, the young master still knew the situation. He should save money at this time. Although this saving was not right, it was better than...
After several times of comforting, Mu Liuling suppressed her inner anxiety and went with Chu Tianxiao to the largest treasure house in Tianjue City - Baoxuanju. Then... she completely understood what it meant to say "It is easy to change a country, but difficult to change a ruined family."
But when Chu Tianxiao walked into this shop where the price was often 500,000 yuan, and the best ones cost over a million yuan, he crossed his right hand without even looking at it.
"This, this, this, this, this, this... one of each!"
puff!
Mu Liuling immediately spat out the tea that the waiter had served!
