Chapter 1824:

A catty of nine cents of money can almost be used to rob money. The price of grain set by the court is still 15 cents per catty. Generally speaking, the price set by the court is always the lowest price, which is higher than this price. There must be some, but there is definitely no price lower than this. The price of the imperial court is even better. It seems to be a guide price. This price makes many people use it as a weather vane. The food in front of you is definitely not dozens of It can be beaten by 10,000 tons. If this is the price of nine cents, and the taste is so good, you will definitely be able to grow bigger and stronger after you go back. There are a few guys who regret it. I knew this. With so many such good food self-sufficiency, even after borrowing usury, the food must be allocated first. M.
"Master Cao is this really serious?" Several grain merchants didn't believe that there would be such a price. It was almost no different from giving away money. Looking at the mountain of grain one by one, it was like giving away money. Transporting back from here is only 10% of the freight, which is still the highest. If it is less, 5% will be fine. The cost this time is less than ten cents, but such good food can definitely be sold. Seventeen or eight essays, and even more, this kind of thing is naturally to be done. Some of them couldn't believe what was in front of them, so they asked Li Cong that way.
"Hehe, a man, spit a nail in one mouthful, should I come to entertain the bosses in such a thing? It is absolutely impossible. In the future, Cao's family firm will definitely enter the food industry in large numbers. How can it make some falsehoods? As for the matter, even if there is a problem with what I said, the grain mountain in front of you is definitely okay. I am afraid that you don’t have such a big appetite. I have a lot of grain here.
Li Cong said with a smile. Indeed, even if it is Li Cong's nonsense, this grain mountain is absolutely not nonsense, and their family is also dealing in grain. I haven’t seen this large amount of food, but it’s the first time I have seen so many of them here. The smiles on each face immediately appeared, and all of them must be signed by Li Cong. The contract.
This time, Li Cong deliberately sought out grain merchants in more than a dozen counties and cities within 500 kilometers, but two people were found in each city, and the others were not notified. This is also a disguised cultivation. Come by your own agent. Some time ago they only heard that Cao Ke was going to buy grain, but they didn't expect to start exporting grain now. They also know that these foods may come from unknown sources, but now who can manage so much, if they don’t pay close attention to them, these foods may belong to others, and these people begin to calculate how much food they can get one by one. Usually, they buy grain at this price. Now that they don't need so much travel, they can get so much directly. The most important thing is that the taste of this grain is better than those of the farmers. Such wheat will definitely sell well.
"Master Cao, Lao Yu is from the northern city of Kelan County. Lao Yu's surname is Ma. Everyone calls me Lao Ma. I want to order 300,000 tons of bright silk this time. Is it okay?" An old man said that this person Li Cong has some information. He is not the largest grain merchant in that county and town. It can even be said that he can only be an upper-middle grain merchant. The reason why Li Cong invited this person was because a batch of his grain had arrived here some time ago. On the other hand, he didn't increase the price because of the animal tide. This person really did what the grain merchants should do. The grain industry is not used to make money. It is precisely because of this that Li Cong would cooperate with this person.
"Hehe, let me call you a veteran. I know your situation. From now on you will be the sole agent of the city where you are located. I admire your style of work. I have also found someone to investigate. Your food is basically at a low profit. I know that the money in your hand is only 300,000 tons of food. It’s okay. This time I will give you 500,000 tons of food and you will find someone yourself. Just transport it back. Money can wait. To be honest, I have never had the habit of giving people credit. You are the first one.
Li Cong said with a smile, and he has not lost his instinct in the face of huge profits. Li Cong takes good care of the person in front of him, just like the person in front of him, he is a respectable person, if it is someone else, no matter what the relationship is, Li Cong will not let anyone owe him.
"This...this..., this is really thank you Master Cao, Lao Yu will definitely send back the money for the remaining food in the shortest time. I will sign a contract with Guan Shi. This time I will bring it. There are too few people, but I will transport as much as I can. I will bring people back as soon as I go back.
The old horse said with a smile. He didn’t know how much food there was this time, but just in case They brought three hundred large carts, and these are all four-wheeled carriages like that. Such a cart can pull three tons at most and fall down. This time even a thousand tons were returned by the Transport Department.
Li Cong smiled and nodded. Even if the first transaction is completed, the ton is only 18 taels of silver, and 300,000 tons is only 5.4 million taels of silver. It is not a lot, but it is almost It's the limit of a county, and such people can be regarded as very supportive of Li Cong. It is impossible for them to eat more.
"Master Cao, we are grain merchants in Arte County to the east. We two came together. Although we two run two grain businesses, our two are in-laws. Can we also get thirty How about 10,000 tons of money in exchange for 500,000 tons of grain?" At the moment, two people who are not good people come here. Li Cong also has the information of these two people. They are not like that old horse in business. So Li Cong didn't give them a good face.
"I'm sorry, I don't have this rule here. Their credit is good. They can do things so they have such a price. But this does not mean that I can also give you such a discount. If you want food, I can guarantee you enough. Food, but you have to buy it with real money." Although Li Cong has a smile on his face, these two guys also know that such a thing is impossible. Li has never been such a talkative, and a fool knows that It is a good thing to take 300,000 yuan and bring 500,000 yuan of grain back. The turnover period of 200,000 tons of grain is also very good. It is a pity that people are not willing to give it, so we can only It's honestly followed Li Cong's method.
Next, many people understood that Li Cong gave four people such treatment, and the remaining fifty-odd people did not receive such treatment. More than fifty of them eventually paid 20 million tons of food to take away. 220,000 tons of grain was used. Of course, it is impossible for them to transport so many carts away in the short term. They can only transport them slowly, but seeing this transportation boss Cui immediately thought of one thing.
This eight-hour transmission made Li Cong a little surprised that there was a lot of food. This is not what he said to Li Yin a while ago. Perhaps Li Cong is really right about the tens of millions of tons of food. There is no concept, using the transportation capacity on this planet, let alone Li Cong's remaining food. It takes a lot of manpower and material resources just to transport those things, but Boss Cui also saw that transportation is actually a very good business. It’s transported from here to places within 500 kilometers around, even if 10% of the profit is a lot, this kind of business is not very profitable, but it can’t hold up our business to do so much. Such things can be manipulated. Yes, but the initial investment is definitely not small, but Li Conggang has collected hundreds of millions of silver, which is not a small amount of money.
"Brother-in-law, I've counted this out. The transportation business can indeed be done. Although the profit is small, we still have a profit of about 5%, and now the manpower outside is so cheap, we It can even reach 8% of the transportation profit, which is already very good in the transportation industry." Boss Cui calculated some things in the transportation for an afternoon, and he was very diligent.
"No, we can't take advantage of these people. At this time, take advantage of them. The reputation of our Cao family transportation team will drop a lot. At the beginning, we can't do too much. You should take your preliminary It’s better to tell me about the plan.
Li Cong knows that his brother-in-law recently saw his great handwriting and felt that he was a little bit stubborn when he did things on his own. Although Li Cong didn’t like this guy’s stubbornness, he definitely didn’t want to come out. Such a big-handed guy. If it's so lofty, it wouldn't be as good as Xiaojiazi.
"I also watched some of the transportation team around here. Basically, the team is still quite large, with tens of thousands of people. They can transport more than three to fifty thousand tons of grain on the road at a time, and many large grains. Businesses are all looking for these people to do things, and they can do things, but they all refer to the small things in our county and town. Now we are going to sell food to the surrounding provinces, and they are a bit unsatisfied. , We now have hundreds of thousands of helping workers, they can be transformed into our official buddies, we can sign a contract with them for ten and twenty years, of course, you don’t want to take advantage of them , We just set the price like other transport teams, can it be saved? Another is that we have so many masters who just go out without paying any protection fees on the road, these costs are also a lot Yes, as far as I know, there are several bands around here, and the money they charge each time is not a small amount." Boss Cui is indeed very concerned, and these things are basically clear.
"Hehe, we still have to hand over what should be handed in, but we can just kill those heinous guys directly. In fact, some bandits are also very difficult. If there is a way out, who will leave his wife at home? Children become bandits or something. There are many such things." Li Cong would still sympathize with some people in difficulties.
"I really don’t know what your heart is, brother-in-law, no one is pitiful. Anyway, you are the boss of Cao’s firm. I’m the one in charge. I initially thought about it. Let’s first form one. A 10-person transport team, including 8 transport personnel, 2 logistics and security personnel, purchased 5 carts, 12 mules, this driver knows that two mules are more than two horses. Yes, we are really spending money on buying horses. This mule is a good guy in the transport team. Of course, the horses must be purchased for the guards. I don’t think it would cost tens of thousands of horses. "Boss Cui has already listed this number very clearly. His eldest brother-in-law's abilities are still very good. Li Cong is also very satisfied. At least his eldest brother-in-law is very relieved to do things. If he changes. The words of others. I wouldn't give it out so easily.
"Buy what you should buy, and if you should please, we can't save the guards on this road. You must have the third and fourth level fighters, and the first and second level fighters. I can do it here. If you go out for one or two, you can also ask for a few from the Mercenary Alliance. Anyway, safety must be ensured. Don't get robbed on the road." Li Cong attaches great importance to safety issues.
"Well. I know this. In the past, no one was willing to rob food. Now the food is concentrated, and the price is going up. I guess the people who rob the food are worse than the people who rob gold and silver. It's a lot more." Boss Cui also asked some people who mess around on the road. These people said that the recent robbers want food.
In fact, Li Cong also knows that transportation is a good business. It would be great if the train could be obtained, but for now, it doesn't have any modern flavor. And I don’t have any control over it. It’s not good to say that even this Xin Jiang Ningcheng himself hasn’t taken it down. Although all parties have acknowledged their urgent status, the real situation may not be like this. People here don't always look at themselves.
After getting these things done, Li Cong went to a military camp outside the city again. This was an army of millions of people. In addition, there are more than seven million people in various other local armies. These people eat and drink a large number every day. After telling their quartermasters about the price of their food, they began to talk to Li Cong has signed a contract. They can drink a lot of soldiers' blood inside and outside of this kind of business. This person sells them cheaply. If the extra money is not divided, how can you be worthy of the skin on your body, so the quartermasters have been living well recently.
One month later, Cao’s second transaction was started. This month’s profitability was indeed very good. Of course, it was mainly the sale of this magic arrow. Each planet received nearly 400 million silver. Li Cong Too lazy to care about these things. Anyway, there are dedicated people watching. If you look at it, people are still uncomfortable, and it is better to do your own things honestly. This grain trade has also shipped more than 10 million tons in a month. Fortunately, this granary is outside the city. If it is inside the city, it is estimated that these people will not leave the city one by one. Every day, these food carts have to block the city gate.
"Boy, you are really a capable person. In the past, I felt that you became the apprentice of the old guy by your own talent. I feel that you are really lucky. You have to know that several of your seniors have become the apprentices of your master. But after a lot of energy wasted, your kid became your master’s apprentice without any effort. Your destiny is really good. It’s been more than a month with you. I can see that, Your kid is not only lucky, but the brain is also indispensable.
After training with Li Cong that day, Mr. York felt that Li Cong’s skills were progressing very well, and said with a smile, Li Cong can Said it was the most improved junior he had ever seen.
"That's natural. We also have our own real ability. If we don't have this ability, won't you shame my teacher? By the way, Mr. York, can you see if my current ability can enter the Warcraft Mountains for a while? ?" Li Cong thought for a while and said, he is still very yearning for the Warcraft Mountains. The last incident made Li Cong feel very exciting, so he still wanted to go in and try.
"Enter the Warcraft Mountains?" Mr. York glanced at Li Cong, that look was a bit... ah, he looked down upon, "You can enter the Warcraft Mountains, but I have to give you a suggestion. , You go to the mercenary alliance to hide your identity, then join a squad, follow them in, you can now enter the interruption of strength, but I think you have no experience of fighting against Warcraft, you can only wander around outside That's it." Mr. York said, if Li Cong brought in with his guards, it would be impossible to feel any danger. Those who entered the Warcraft Mountains hope that they can make progress. All must walk on the edge of danger to be the most effective. If you bring your own guards in, it will be useless.
"I think so too. I really don't understand the things inside. It's better to go in slowly from the outside, but what if I really die inside?" Li Cong said with some worry. Last time Li Cong saw the terrible things of the monsters, and if there were a few people who wanted to target him, then he might die faster.
"Hehe. You cunning kid, I tell you that your master asked me to protect you, and it is also conditional. For example, he said that if you enter the Warcraft Mountains, I can only follow you within ten kilometers at most, unless Your life is in danger, otherwise I will not be able to appear. And I can only save you once. If you really die in the Warcraft Mountains, then I'm sorry, you can only die there to feed the Warcraft as food "York said. Li Cong’s master is a great magician. He knows very well that it is impossible for people who have not experienced life and death to live in this world, so Li Cong must enter there to exercise, and other People can't give Li Cong anything, and what Li Cong can rely on is himself.
"Ten kilometers..." Li Cong said helplessly. In fact, he was a little looking forward to this kind of mercenary life. I have already registered a mercenary. It's better to go to the Mercenary Alliance to see if there are any suitable tasks. If you can complete the task, you will not only get rewards, but also increase your mercenary level.
York and Li Cong went out after taking a break. In the Mercenary League, York went in and gave Li Cong a fake identity. From then on, Li Cong became the real Li Cong. It's definitely not Cao Ke.
"Boy, this is your new identity." York threw a sign to Li Cong and said, Li Cong just threw this thing into his magic ring. This thing is really good and comfortable to use. of.
In comparison, Li Cong still doesn't like others calling himself Cao Ke, because he is not by this name at all. Let me call myself Li Cong more comfortable. After all, this is my name. Li Cong is very happy about this.
Li Cong didn’t know anything about joining a team to fight. The last time he went to the periphery of the Warcraft Mountains, his own people followed him. It’s impossible for someone like Li Cong to join a team casually, because this guy is a Magician, if a magician joins a small team, the sensation caused is very huge. So York asked Li Cong to enter as a warrior. When he entered the Warcraft Mountains, the people in the team couldn't tell the news outside. At that time, it was up to him to use warriors or magic.
"What can I do for you?" said the sweet-smiling lady in the reception hall. Such lady would always speak much better than some men, as if Li Cong liked this, and handed over a piece of five taels. The girl’s smile is even more beautiful. It’s been a long time since I saw a handsome guy who shot so generously. Nowadays, handsome guys have no money. Those who have money are handsome fathers. If Li Cong wants to have more If you think about it, I guess this girl won't mind, very much hope to develop with Li Cong after work.
"Well, I want to see if there is a suitable squad for me. I am a fifth-level fighter." Li Cong said, almost blindly to the glamour that the the opposite side threw over. Girls of this level can't enter his own. Yes, but York, who followed Li Cong from the side, saw it very smoothly. York's point of view is that you have to see if you have one. There are no other girls here. Which one should you see if you don't see this?
"Fifth-level fighter?" The little girl didn't believe in Li Cong's strength very much. In his opinion, Li Cong should be the young master of the big family. The only ones who came here to find bodyguards were the fifth-level fighters who entered the Warcraft Mountains. There are many, even ninth-level fighters, but there are not so many young fifth-level fighters like Li Cong. It seems that this young master is so generous in his shots that he is relying on his own ability. Cong’s opinion has risen a lot again. Just now, it was still playable. At this moment, it’s okay to entrust it for life, and Li Cong is going to shine one by one.
"Yes, this is my proof." Li Cong took out a sign and said, this is a proof issued by the Warriors' Guild. It is necessary for the mercenary alliance to pick up tasks or anything that requires your own level certification, but there is no A bit of opportunism. Although Li was never familiar with the exam content, Li Cong's own fighter strength must be at least level 8. Therefore, there is absolutely no problem with the qualification of a fifth-level fighter, not to mention that there is still York in Let me introduce you.
The little girl looked at Li Cong in surprise. This is really true. This thing cannot be faked. Besides, even if it is possible to fake it, it is your own. No one is stupid to pretend to be this thing. You said it was level 5 and joined a level 5 team, but after you reach the Warcraft Mountains, you only have level 3 or lower strength. Then other people see you like this, If it’s good, you may just throw it here and leave you alone. If it’s bad, it may kill you directly. There have been many such things before, and no one cares about your life or death in the Warcraft Mountains. Killing is not a rare thing. There are still many people who live by robbery in the Warcraft Mountains. It is said that the life is quite good. If you kill a Warcraft, you may only get the things from the Warcraft. , But if you kill a person, it is not necessarily. There may be a lot of things on this person, and they are all valuable things. This is the reason why those people don't kill Warcraft and kill people. In fact, more people can get from killing.
"Okay, pay thirty taels of silver. I'll give you some contact information. As for whether they want you to be your own problem." In fact, the Mercenary Alliance acts as an intermediary, and Li Cong heard about this fee. At first glance, these thirty taels are enough for ordinary people to eat for a year, and here is the registration fee. Compared with the mercenary alliance, the money I earn is far worse. There are at least hundreds of thousands of people in the mercenary alliance. If these people are thirty taels each, how much money will they get? A county town, there are so many county towns, God. It's something I can't imagine.
"Well, I know this." Li Cong nodded and said. If you don't need you, the mercenary team is not in the mercenary alliance. Generally speaking, you must know it or be famous. They don't need this at all, they can all enter the Warcraft Mountains directly, but if you are a novice, you can't. People always have to try your abilities, otherwise they rashly lead you in. That is to ask you to find death and they also want to find death on their own.
"This is news about more than 70 teams recruiting level five fighters. You can go there and check it out. Give it to me after reading it." The little girl smiled and said, generally speaking, it is not allowed to take away. , Maybe it’s a privilege to be handsome. Of course, Li Cong’s five taels of silver worked. Li Cong drank York and went to the rest area here, looking at the recruitment of fifth-level fighters written on it. In the news, there are not only recruitment information, but also the strength of their squad and what they are doing this time. From the first time Li came into contact with such things, it felt very fresh.
"This Hammer team is good, I think it suits you well." York said after looking at the ten lines. Li Cong hasn't read the first two yet. I don't understand them very much. Li Cong will watch after hearing York's words. Arrived on the hammer team.
The Hammer Squad, headed by a seventh-level archer, has a sixth-level fighter, and three fifth-level fighters. It is now recruiting a fifth-level fighter to enter the junction of the outer and middle sections of the Warcraft Mountains and prepare to hunt the warcraft there. , The requirement is a fifth-level fighter. There is no indication of elementary or high-level. It is best if you have experience in entering the Warcraft Mountains. If you don’t have it, you have to take out 200,000 taels of silver as a mortgage. Shown in the choice whether to give you these silver.
"I don't quite understand this. If this is the case, then I will choose the Hammer Team. How about you? Are you with me or disappear anywhere?" Li Cong looked at York and said, this The guy said he would save his life in the Warcraft Mountains, but Li Cong thought it better not to take risks. The smile of this guy can be seen very sinister, he will definitely wait until he comes out when he has a breath. In other words, I will still be very dangerous.
"Hehe, I'm leaving now. You don't need to find me. You can't find me because of your ability, but I won't be too far away from you." York left after speaking, and he walked very smartly. , Li Cong also bowed his head and called this guy a chic brother.
"Miss, I just want the contact information of the Hammer team. I am going to join this team." Li Cong said. When people around him heard Li Cong say that, they all looked at this guy one by one and watched them. The look in his eyes does not believe him very much. In the fifth-level team, it seems that this hammer team still has its own status. Generally speaking, more than half of the people in the team have reached one level. The captain of the Hammer Squad is Level 7, and there is also a Level 6 fighter, but there are four Level 5 fighters. They can only be called Level 5 Squad.
"Boy. Your thirty taels of silver are spent in vain. If you said you want to join the Hammer Squad, just tell me. I am the deputy captain of the Hammer Squad, Hong Zhan." The guy said, and Li Cong took a look. The young lady inside, nodded when she saw this young lady. It seemed that this guy was really the deputy captain. In terms of strength, Li Cong could feel that this guy should be a sixth-level fighter. It seemed that he was the only rank 6 fighter in the Hammer Squad.
"Haha, really good luck. But the money has been handed over to others, and there is no reason to return it to me, let's go." Li Cong looked at the deputy captain helplessly and said, Hong Zhan nodded and followed Li Cong walked toward the door. This guy was here to see the recruitment situation. They were going to enter the Warcraft Forest tomorrow. This guy was not there yet, if he couldn't get it done. You can only wait to enter in the future. It is not impossible for five people to enter, but one less person will lose a lot of strength, and there may be many things that can't be done well, so six people can be much better.
"Boy, I know from your appearance that you have entered the Warcraft Mountains for the first time. Two hundred thousand taels of silver. You can't miss one. Can you guys get it out? If you can't get it out, get out as soon as possible, our team Don't mess around." The guy said after going out as if he was asking for an account. Li Cong smiled, wanting to take out his own money? Yes. But we also have to see if you are capable. You can't just say that I'll give you the money.
"Hehe, don’t worry about this. I also have two million taels of silver, but if you want to test me, I also have to look at the skills of our team. I will definitely show it when I meet everyone. Yes." Li Cong said. This stopped the walking Hong Zhan. This kid is really a first-time brother who doesn’t know anything. He has to test the Hammer Team. Among the fifth-level teams, the Hammer Team is definitely the top one. , Let’s say nothing else, just talk about the Hammer team’s record, but now there is no level 5 team that can break. This kid is really interesting. This guy laughed twice and took Li Cong to go on. Maybe this guy is really Having his own ability, anyway, dare to speak to yourself like this, this courage is not small, and I may not be so lonely in the future. The addition of fresh blood will always bring new things.
Hong Zhan took Li from seven turns to a hotel. It seemed to be a high-end place. After all, no one of the mercenaries knew when they lost their heads, so they would be fine when they were in the city. Those who choose a place to rest, this is the time for them to enjoy, and tomorrow will be desperate, and today they have to have fun in time.
After entering, Hong Zhan walked towards the private room inside. It seemed that everyone was there. Sure enough, after entering the door, Li Cong saw that this is a very large private room. A meal in such a private room costs at least several hundred taels. Silver, none of these people seem to lack silver. The captain is naturally the one sitting in the middle. The three around are probably Level 5 fighters. One of them was when Li Cong came in with the deputy captain. Everyone just glanced at them and continued to drink. In their view, this test of the newcomers was not their business, but the two bosses' business.
"Boy, you are the new fifth-level fighter. Very good. It looks good. Shake your hand. This is the test." The captain put down his glass and said, the captain gave Li Cong a good impression. At least someone who can have fun with his subordinates, not like those leaders on the planet, who has to separate from his subordinates. Such a person seems very disgusting, let alone playing together.
"Haha, Captain, you are an archer, and I take advantage of you." Li Cong said and shook hands. He knew this was definitely a test. The captain with a small 1.7 meter man on the opposite side was not so. Simply, I have seen a seventh-level archer myself. Zheng Hong is probably the reason why Zheng Hong followed him every day. I didn't think it was so powerful. But the one in front of me gave me a different feeling. Zheng Hong is great.
The captain of the Hammer Team, Gao Qiang, is a tough guy. Li Cong has never heard of Gao Qiang, but everyone in this room respects the captain very much. They all feel that working under such a captain is It's a glorious thing to see that this kid Li Cong is not big or small, and he is happy in his heart. The captain's iron clamp is very powerful. Li Cong knows that if he doesn't show his own skills in such a place, It will definitely make people bully, and at the moment, I can only show a little ability. This high strength is really not small, but the first wave of strength passed easily.
At this time, Gao Qiang took a look at Li Cong. This young man still looks like a milk doll. This strength is not small. His first wave of strength must be beyond the five-level beginner fighter~www.mtlnovel .com~ This kid should be above the elementary level, and then I added some strength to see Li Cong's expression seems to feel a little bit, above the intermediate level but high-level, is this kid a fifth-level high-level fighter? Gao Qiang was very happy. The three fifth-level fighters in his team were all high-level. I thought it would be good to get a mid-level one. I didn't expect that a high-level one would come. My luck is really good. Come again. With a wave of strength, Li Cong knew that he couldn't hold on at this time, and as expected, one hand began to hang down. The expression on his face was as painful as that of a pig. The three fifth-level fighters sitting around were not too small at this moment. Look at Li Cong. This kid does have a proud capital. This guy is so young. When he was young, he didn't have such skills. This kid will be their teammate in the future, which is very good.
"Boy, very good. There are really not many high-ranking fighters at your age. From now on, your boy will be a member of our Hammer Team. If you are bullied, please come to me, as long as you are the one who is responsible. You will suffer, and the two hundred thousand silver will be spared." The captain said with great arrogance. Li Cong also nodded with a smile. This captain is good, he is an upright person, and the deputy captain is also good. On the surface, I am an honest person. It seems that I have really entered a good team. Anyway, I will spend the next few days with these people. This relationship is still to be done. It's very good, we have our own skills. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly pass. Your support is my biggest motivation
