The Lord of the Worlds of Civilization

As soon as he said these words, Li Ke felt that he must be crazy. What use can a stone be?It cannot be used as a weapon, nor as food.

But it vaguely remembered that when they first discovered those stones, their former great chief, Li Yuanjie, was very excited. It was like grabbing food from several warehouses...

At this time, Luo Ji was undoubtedly very interested in the strange stones that Li Ke was talking about. He basically confirmed in his heart that it should be something like ore. It should be useful, but it is also Depends on the type.

"Tell me, what kind of stones are they?"

This sentence can't help but let Li Ke fall into contemplation again, because in his impression, this is a long time ago.

In addition, due to the low productivity and technical strength of their orc civilization, even if ores are discovered, they basically have no casting technology.

Over time, ore has basically become the most useless thing in their orc civilization. It is no exaggeration to say that, except for coal mines that can burn fire, even if other ores are thrown directly on the side of the road, no orcs will pay attention. Not to mention wasting energy to mine.

"There are many kinds of stones, many names, and the last commander can't remember them. The only thing I remember is a stone. When he just discovered it, the Great Chief was very excited, and that kind of stone will still sparkle in the sun. , it seems to be called, called a diamond..."

The update is sent, thanks to the book friend 'Little Cat' for the reward and the book friends 'He Jiakun' and 'Jun Lingyu' for the monthly passes!

Chapter 384: Diamond

"Diamond?" Luo Ji laughed when he heard the word. He didn't have too many surprises, and he didn't have too many surprises. He just smiled.

And standing below, Li Ke, who didn't think much about it, told the story of Li Yuanjie when he first discovered the diamond. Now, Luo Ji couldn't help laughing even happier.

As an ordinary modern person, when hearing the word 'diamond', what is the first adjective that comes to mind?

Expensive and valuable, these two adjectives absolutely occupy the vast majority. On this basis, an ordinary person suddenly finds that he has dug a diamond mine. Of course, he is inevitably ecstatic, and it is inevitable that he will do some upstarts. stupid thing.

And through Li Ke's mouth, Luo Ji learned that the stupidest thing Li Yuanjie had done was spread the mined diamonds on the bed, and he was not too embarrassed...

But Li Yuanjie got one thing wrong. Diamonds are a delicate thing. To put it bluntly, Luo Ji said that diamonds are valuable, so they are valuable, but if Luo Ji said that it is just a broken stone that shines , then it can only be a broken stone.

In the early days, diamonds were loved by nobles because of their gorgeous appearance and rare output, and became a symbol of their power, status and wealth.

No one hates beautiful things, and the rarity of production further increases the value of diamonds. After all, many things in this world can be made for their increase the value to a certain extent.

And then how did it become popular in Heaven?To put it bluntly and harshly, it is to worship foreigners...

Of course, it can also be understood as a marketing victory, 'Diamonds are forever, a diamond is forever'. Many people should have heard of this advertising slogan, right?Even once upon a time, I was brainwashed by this advertisement.

It is precisely because of this marketing that the image of diamonds as precious and eternal has been completely established, and then the overwhelming advertisements that follow directly tied diamonds with 'love', 'loyalty' and 'marriage'.

When you're about to propose to a woman, bring a 'pigeon egg' and your chances of success skyrocket.

Because for women, a diamond ring can not only satisfy their vanity and enjoy the envious eyes of people around them, but also prove the man's loyalty to her and his love for her. Of course, the bigger the diamond, the better. Big, prove that he loves you more.

The establishment of this concept made China suddenly become the country with the highest demand and sales of diamonds in the world at that time.

But let's take a look at the essence, in fact, the bigger the diamond on it, the only thing that can prove is that the man is richer.

Of course, having money is very important, so in recent years, the diamond market has not been as prosperous as it used to be, because the people of the Celestial Dynasty are now getting married and giving away cars and houses...

Although Li Yuanjie was a bit stupid, after a while, he obviously discovered the essence of the diamonds. After all, in this era, there is no group of profiteers marketing those diamonds.

The group of orcs under his hand looked at it holding a bunch of luminous stones and smirked, the more they looked like a fool, they couldn't even notice, so over time, those diamonds were thrown into the warehouse by Li Yuanjie.

Now Luo Ji asks Li Ke to fetch those diamonds. I have to say that there are quite a few diamonds. It is estimated that Li Yuanjie was very happy when he first discovered them. A lot of effort turned it into a diamond.

However, the craftsmanship is limited in this era, and the diamonds look really rough, but even so, it still emits a brilliant light under the sun.

However, after appreciating this gorgeous piece for a while, Luo Ji casually threw the thumb-sized diamond on the table, which in modern times would make many people go crazy.

The diamond was indeed dazzling. However, after losing that layer of packaging, Luo Ji soon felt a burst of aesthetic fatigue.

Pretend to say that this thing is too superficial, vulgar, and extremely gorgeous in appearance, but it makes people feel nothing. to please him.

Of course, based on the current situation, Luo Ji didn't mind marketing the diamond, so as to achieve his goal of driving the business development of the orc tribe.

"Huh?" Just as he was thinking about it, there was a splendid brilliance in the small basket of diamonds that caught his attention.

Luo Ji reached in and dialed it. Soon, he took a sky-blue blue diamond in his hand, and gestured towards the sun, the blue diamond suddenly exuded brilliant colors.

"This piece is not bad, but it is too big. It is suitable to be set on a crown or a scepter, but if it is used to make jewelry, it feels a bit tacky."

Thinking of this, the corners of Luo Ji's mouth twitched slightly, and he asked the guard beside him to go outside to pick up a rock and come in. Then, he looked at the blue diamond on the table, and slapped it down with a 'bang'.

The hardness of diamond is indeed the hardest ore in the world, but its toughness is insufficient. In other words, this thing cannot withstand heavy blows, and it is easy to smash with a little strength.

At this point, the blue diamond that was placed in the modern society and ranked among the top in the world in terms of size, was planted on this stone that Luo Ji picked up at random.

After the shooting, Luo Ji threw the stone away, then fiddled with his fingers, and picked out two of the same size, "Not bad, that's all..."

While muttering to himself, Luo Ji quickly took out another piece of paper, and while writing and drawing on it, he asked casually, "He Liang, how was the mining and research of the silver mine discovered two months ago? Like?"

"According to the people below, it is very smooth, Your Majesty."

"Very good." Luo Ji nodded with satisfaction, and then handed the finished design along with the two blue diamonds to a guard beside him.

"The polishing method and style of diamonds are all on this design, go and find me the best craftsman in Wanjie Civilization, and let him cooperate with silver to make the two blue diamonds into earrings. As for the rest of……"

Having said that, Luo Ji glanced at the pile of 'wrecks' on his desk. A whole blue diamond was broken. The larger ones were placed in modern times, and it was estimated that they could still be photographed. It seems a bit wasteful to give up a sky-high price and abandon it like this.

Luo Ji thought for a while before making a decision, "Let's make the rest into a bracelet."

Chapter 385, Qingshui Lake

After one thing was explained, Luo Ji was clearly in a pretty good mood. No matter what, there were some things in the orc tribe that could work. As long as there was a breakthrough, things would be easy to handle.

Moreover, the craftsmen and miners who had returned to the werewolf tribe with Li Ke before have already confirmed the mines and ore types there. After careful mining and identification, there may be surprises.

After a while, Luo Ji listened to the report of the people under his command, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face. The mineral deposits on this orc tribe's territory were surprisingly rich.

In addition to the ore resources that Luo Ji already had, he actually discovered several kinds of ores that he didn't have. Looking at the unfamiliar ores brought back by the miners, Luo Ji could only identify gold and tungsten ore.

As for the other kinds of clueless ones, he plans to wait until the various things are arranged properly before going offline to check the information

"Other than that, are there any new discoveries?" Luo Ji asked casually after listening to the reports from the subordinates.

As a result, this question really made him ask something, and the man said after thinking for a while, "Reporting to Your Majesty, in addition to these ores, it was found on the other side of the Tauren tribe. a lake."

"Is it a lake?" A look of disappointment flashed in Luo Ji's eyes when he heard this. If there is anything strange about a lake, he can at most get some freshwater fish resources. For him who is not short of food, it is meaningless. big.

However, his subordinate apparently hadn't finished speaking, and he just listened to the other party and continued after a sigh of relief, "We passed by the lake by accident before and wanted to scoop up some water, but found that the lake's water tasted strange. , and the more you drink, the more thirsty you get, which is really strange."

"It tastes weird, the more you drink, the thirstier you get." Hearing this, Luo Ji frowned first, and then he seemed to have thought of something, and he stood up from his desk all at once, "Go, I want to go there in person. Look at the lake”

Looking at Luo Ji, who was about to leave immediately after speaking, the man below was also stunned, while the guards on both sides looked like they were not surprised.

Although His Majesty is diligent in government and loves the people, sometimes, when it comes to doing things, it is also famous for being vigorous and resolute.

"What are you still doing in a daze? If you have anything to prepare, go back and prepare it. It's time to leave later." Looking at the man who was still in a daze, He Liang, the head of the guard, reminded him friendly .

At this moment, that person was completely dumbfounded. They just came back this morning. They haven't even returned home yet. They are leaving again.

No matter what, His Majesty the Emperor Luo Ji spoke directly. There was obviously no room for negotiation on this matter. Not many people went there. Apart from those who led the way, Luo Ji also brought a team of guards to protect himself. .

The group of people worked fast, and the efficiency was extremely high, and they arrived at the destination very quickly. At that moment, before Luo Ji had time to look at the lake, the system's notification sounded directly in his mind.

The system prompts congratulations to player Luo Ji for discovering the three-star natural wonder Qingshui Lake

"Ha, hahaha" After being stunned for a moment, Luo Ji, who came back to his senses, couldn't hold back for a moment, and just laughed out loud on the spot.

I saw at this moment, under the sun, a blue-blue lake was displayed directly in front of his eyes. The area of ​​the entire Qingshui Lake was decisively larger than that of Mingjing Lake. It was like an ocean, showing a A different kind of spectacular.

Luo Ji, who quickly calmed down his emotions, hurriedly rode up and approached, and then opened the attribute panel of Qingshui Lake.

Name Qingshui Lake

Type lagoon, natural wonder

Level Samsung

Resources sea fish, salt

Effect If you settle near Qingshui Lake, you can get a fixed civilization point of 1 points every day, amenity?

Looking at this attribute panel, Luo Ji was undoubtedly going crazy with laughter. In his eyes, the value of this piece of Qingshui Lake was much greater than that of the diamond mine.

There is no doubt that he will definitely build a branch city on the land next to Qingshui Lake, but during this time the construction department is busy with all kinds of things.

However, taking a step back, it is possible to build a fishing village here, and then build a salt drying workshop.

Salt is a good thing. It is a very important seasoning in life. The main reason why it is so important is that the production of salt is high enough and the resources are abundant. Under this premise, the price is naturally relatively close to the people.

Unlike pepper, cumin and other spices, due to the relatively limited production at present, the prices of these spices are also small and expensive, and not everyone can afford them.

Returning to Mingjing City, while instructing all kinds of things, the construction of a fishing village and a salt drying workshop by Qingshui Lake was also put on the agenda, and a key mark was made at the back of the agenda to indicate that the importance of this matter.

It was another new day, and after Luo Ji had dealt with all the matters at hand, he glanced at the sky outside the window, and then stretched vigorously, "He Liang, do you have any plans for the future?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, according to the schedule, the next thing is to meet the businessman Shen Jun." As the head guard, He Liang is now quite versatile, and occasionally acts as a half secretary to help Luo Ji organize his schedule.

"Look at my memory." Luo Ji slapped his forehead with a helpless expression on his face. Recently, due to various things, he was a little dizzy again.

"Is anyone here?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, people are already waiting outside, do you want to call Shen Jun in now?"

"Tell him to come in." Luo Ji said as he scooped himself a basin of cold water and washed his face.

Immediately afterwards, accompanied by the sound of footsteps, a young man in a silk gown walked in quickly under the leadership of the guards.

"Grassman Shen Jun, see Your Majesty"

"Get up." Wiping the water stains on his hands, Luo Ji raised his eyes to look at Shen Jun below, and then said casually, "This is the second time we have met, right?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, yes, it is indeed the second time we have met."

"You have done a good job in business recently. You have successfully brought up the business development in the civilization of the Ten Thousand Realms. Although you have already made a lot of money, it stands to reason that I should reward you with something."

Today's Luo Ji has already achieved the general trend. Between his words and deeds, he has a dignified manner, and his casual words caused Shen Jun below to feel a lot of pressure.

For a moment, I didn't know if Luo Ji was referring to Shen Jun, thinking that he had done something that caused Luo Ji's dissatisfaction, and he was frightened into a cold sweat on the spot. He fell to his knees again.

,

Chapter 386 , The Businessman's Sense of Smell

"It is a gift from His Majesty that the grassroots people can have today, and they dare not ask extravagantly for rewards."

Looking at Shen Jun, who was kneeling on the ground in a state of being thrown to the ground, Luo Ji, who was sitting there, was stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly burst into laughter.

"Sometimes thinking too much may not be a good thing. As long as you don't do things that violate the law and discipline, and do your business calmly, you will be fine. Get up."

After saying a few words, Shen Jun raised his head slightly, just in time to meet Luo Ji's playful expression. Suddenly, he realized that he had been thinking too much and made a joke. After a while of embarrassment, Shen Jun, I felt a distinct lingering fear.

Just for what he said just now, Luo Ji is more than enough to punish him for a serious crime of disrespect.

With this in mind, Shen Jun hurriedly spoke again, "Your Majesty is magnanimous, broad-minded, grass-minded Shen Jun, thank your Majesty for your suggestion, and will take your Majesty's words to heart, self-examination every day, and never fail your Majesty's trust."

After the flattery patted down, Shen Jun stood up cautiously. Apart from being amused, Luo Ji had no other idea. He simply handed a diamond to the guard beside him, and then asked the guard to take it away. Give it to Shen Jun below.

"Come and see this."

Shen Jun took the diamond handed to him by the guard with both hands, and Shen Jun, who looked at it carefully, was soon amazed by the brilliance of the diamond, "Your Majesty, what is this?"

"diamond."

"Diamond?" While speaking, as a successful businessman, Shen Jun, with his always keen sense of smell, quickly sensed business opportunities from this diamond.

"Your Majesty wants to sell this diamond"

"That's right." Luo Ji nodded quite bluntly, "Shen Jun, how much do you think the diamond in your hand can sell for?"

Faced with Luo Ji's question, Shen Jun didn't take a second look at the diamond in his hand, but said without thinking, "Then it depends on how much you want to sell, Your Majesty."

Hearing this answer, the corners of Luo Ji's mouth twitched slightly. This Shen Jun was indeed a smart businessman. He immediately saw through the essence of this diamond and knew how much it could sell. The essence was not the value of the thing itself, but the operation.

"This diamond was mined on the Orc tribe's side."

There was a flash of clarity in Shen Jun's eyes, "Your Majesty wants to open up the trade channel between the orc tribe and us humans, so as to open up the market between them, and deepen the communication between the two sides."

"Not bad." Luo Ji nodded again.

"Caomin dares to ask His Majesty a question."

"what is the problem"

"Excuse me, Your Majesty, what is the output of this diamond?"

I have to say that as a businessman, Shen Jun really has a keen sense of smell, and when he was asked about the idea again, Luo Ji didn't hide it, and said quite simply, "The output is scarce."

Shen Jun, who got this answer, immediately knew, "Please forgive Caomin to say bluntly, if you want to open up trade channels and open up the markets on both sides, you will definitely need a large influx of merchants. Just relying on this rare diamond, you want to do this. , I'm afraid it's a little difficult."
