attack stream of life

"Ma'am, I heard that there is a kind of white candle here, the price is lower than the beeswax candle, but the lighting is the same." The businessman thought of the girl, and his eyes were blurred.

ah my girl~~

The rippling wind was blowing in his heart, and the songs of love were humming in his ears.

"There is this kind of candle, because the production process is complicated, so the output is not high. Of course, the price will be slightly lower than the beeswax candle. If you need it, you can find Grandma Wendy, she should still have some in stock."

Miss Betty smiled, "Or, you can pre-order some with me, you know, we have a little discount in an order meeting, but retail sales are not."

Betty did not stop the people from buying and selling privately. The lord encouraged the people to use their handicrafts and small commodities to make some money to fill their households.

In fact, the lord himself has a small factory and ash tree groves that manufacture candles in batches. There are ordinary candles, scented candles, carved candles, etc., and the scale is large, so the cost is also low.But they will still buy their white candles from the local people to increase their income.

The same is true for grain. Even in a good harvest year, the price will not be lowered, and the price will be purchased at the previous year's price.The selling price is only a little higher than the purchase price, which is also the general selling price in non-harvest years.He told them that they should not let the local people suffer, and that food prices should be stabilized.

Although the lord himself said that it was to promote economic flow and ensure stability, Betty still felt that it was because of the lord's kindness.

Although it's only been two years since she came here, Betty has already fully recognized her identity as a free citizen of the Quiet Land.A large part of it is because they trust the lord very much.

The lord was so selfless, he was almost a saint.

Except for the fact that he likes an orc tribe, it is incomprehensible.

The merchants exchanged goods and went to Grandma Wendy's house again.Grandma Wendy warmly received these foreigners.

Lilian happened to be away, and she went to buy dried petals and spices for essential oils.This makes the businessman a little bit sorry.He took care of himself specially today, and finally he no longer looks like a down-and-out guy, but looks like an ordinary and handsome young man.

However, the beauty is not there.

Of course, you still have to buy candles. There are only two small boxes in stock, most of which are white candles, and a few are scented candles.It is enough, they are not a big caravan, and it is not good if there are too many.You can make a fortune by taking these out and reselling them.

The businessman replenished the delicious dry food and clean water here, and set off with new goods.

Going out was smoother than coming in. They spent money to hire a local leader to take them all the way to the outskirts. It was half a day faster than when they came in, and they took a lot of unnecessary roads.

They left the Silent Nation, and brought out the news and goods of the Silent Nation.

Merchants brag about the food and things they eat and use in silence, and all kinds of strange customs.Some people believe it, and some people don't.

After that, before the end of the rainy season, Ji Jing led two more small caravans to explore the road, and they all returned with full rewards.

Then, the rainy season ended, the gray fog faded, and this small world was once again closed.

Tranquility ushered in the upsurge of autumn harvest.

The farmers happily harvested grain and other crops, paid enough taxes, and left not only enough food for the family, but also a little surplus.Adding in the income from the usual scattered work, this is a good year.

It is difficult for the citizens of the Silent Land to develop the habit of Grandet.

The lord of 'Deranged' launched a big Chinese New Year promotion at this time.

Some products in Mushroom House are discounted, [-]% off if you take the account book, and [-]% off if you don’t take the account book. Most of them are all kinds of refined products, such as various refined grains, snacks, candies, tableware and kitchen utensils, etc. wait.

A lot of the harvested grain has been finely processed, some are made into golden vegetable oil, and some are popped into rice crackers, which are made into rice cracker candy together with syrup.

Even farmers are willing to spend a little money to buy some rice cracker candies for their children.

The dwarves who work as miners also get enough wages, and they will have a bonus in the new year.

As for the warriors, they have always been rich, the lord provided three meals, and all their wages were saved.

Of course, the group of magicians are the richest. They have researched several new magic equipment this year. It is said that the lord gave them a large bonus.

Under the leadership of Mushroom House, the shops on the commercial street also began to offer discounts, and the citizens could not resist the temptation of such discounts.

The soldiers brought wine and various dried meats to their homes barrel by barrel.

Magicians prefer tea and various snacks, as well as rolls of good white paper and exquisite quills.

Housewives who are on a budget bought some daily consumables such as woven fabrics, newly released tin oil lamps, soap and soap combinations, and sauce combinations.Then go to cut some meat and come back to buy a few pieces of cloth. If you don’t buy it when the price drops during the Chinese New Year, it will cost a few dollars more on weekdays.The quilt needs to be re-wrapped for a warm year.

The men cruelly bought some cheap wine, and then took the farm tools out of the blacksmith shop for repairs.

If there are children in the family, it is necessary to buy some refined grains and not-so-expensive snacks, preserved fruits and candies.If there are still old people, then buy one or two things that the old people like as a filial piety.

The lord advocated that young people often visit their parents, and he himself often visits the elderly without children. As a result, the leaders will also be affected.

Single men and women who have jobs and are not burdened are the most chic, and they are willing to spend money on themselves.They will buy the patterned muslin that housewives are reluctant to buy, they will buy the expensive wine that the head of the house is reluctant to buy, and even the various toffee butchers that the children covet, they will buy some.

But they also have troubles, for example, marriage urging from their parents.

"I can't think of a reason why a single, rich, happy woman would get married. It's a bad deal, no matter how you look at it." Young women struggling.

"If there is a single rich man who thinks carefully about her and pursues her passionately, I don't think there is any reason for the girl to be single." Her parents arranged a blind date very coldly.

"I don't think there is such a rule that if you don't have a son, you have to give the property to the collateral?" The young man wailed, "I guarantee that I will get married in the future, but not now. If it doesn't work, I can adopt one. "

"I don't believe your guarantee, and I would like to remind you that single men cannot adopt children. Well, tidy up your clothes and your horrible hair." His parents sneered.

Except for the men and women who were urged to marry, the Tranquil Collar is a sea of ​​joy, and those pharmacies and weapon shops that ordinary people dare not go into are all discounted.

The benefits are obvious, although it seems to reduce profits.But in fact, I just disposed of all the second-hand goods in the warehouse, and sold a lot of goods that were not selling well. After small profits but quick turnover, I made more money than before.

Qingchuan earns the most because he owns a lot of small workshops, such as paper workshops, candle workshops, weaving factories, saltworks, oil mills, soy sauce factories, wineries, sauce factories... they are all small workshops, each with only ten A few NO.20 people will meet local needs.

He plans to move more people from outside to stimulate economic development.

At this time, I especially want to come up with a reward policy of 'multiple childbearing hero mothers'.But when you think about it, it has only been two years since women left the house, and the atmosphere of career women has just risen. Encouraging childbearing will tie up these outstanding women, so forget it.He began to think about other methods, such as abduction?

It is said that a certain place is at war, and this is an opportunity.

When the battlefield expands a bit, you can collect refugees who are about to despair.They who have experienced suffering will cherish the peaceful life, and will automatically maintain the rule of the Silent Land, and the suffering of the war will teach them to be grateful.

"Now I know why people are being plundered. Population is a resource. It is the foundation of the farming age and the premise of the industrial age."

Qingchuan stretched out a finger, "The first step is to solve the basic needs of survival. After the land meets the basic needs, the people have more material and spiritual needs that are higher than the needs of survival, so there is a buying and selling market. Surplus labor can be engaged in handicrafts work, shops and workshops appeared."

"Now is the second step."

He stretched out his second finger, "Foreign trade. Bring in some of the raw materials we need, and then sell refined products abroad, resulting in a trade surplus. The money is used to improve people's livelihood and strengthen the military. Perfect~"

"Of course, things can't go so smoothly. But population is still necessary, agricultural population and factory workers, as well as warriors and magicians." Warriors focus on melee combat, and magicians focus on long-range combat. They are all necessary military forces.

Qing Chuan crossed his fingers together, "So, let's plunder the population."

Qiu received it for the Chinese New Year, and there were not too many things, so Qingchuan explained everything to the subordinates.If it can't be solved, it can also be sent remotely-this is a magic method, an improved portable teleportation array, which can deliver letters in a direction.

He took Wei Ge, and the two quietly left the silent collar.

The circle outside Jingjing collar was still hot and burning, and there were almost no one around, except for poor people who came to keep warm.Qingchuan didn't waste time around here, he went to a well-developed city outside, which is said to be an earldom, a rich earldom.

This is his destination, the location of his future subjects.

Although it has been a few years, the outside world has hardly changed. It is still the same streets full of garbage, cursing drunks, laughing street girls, sad refugees and thieves with bright eyes.

The sky was gloomy that day, with rain and snow in the wind, the barefoot passers-by were shivering from the cold, and many people's exposed hands and feet were already rotten from the cold.

Of course, this is not the case in the wealthy districts, they live decently, elegantly and luxuriously.And here is a stinking ditch, a slum.Gather the greatest number of criminals and poor, and future criminals and future poor.

Generations like this are bound by invisible circles and can never go out.

"Didn't someone teach you not to take other people's things?" Qing Chuan squeezed a dirty little hand with a smile.The hand had intended to take his purse.

This is a waif, but also a habitual thief, one of the local specialties.

"Sir, I was wrong, I sincerely apologize..." the child wailed, his eyes still slyly rolling around, thinking of a way to get out.

"Really? If you really feel sorry, just temporarily act as a tour guide for me." There were many terrible smells in the air, Qing Chuan held a corner of the robe to cover his nose, sniffing the scent of the robe, and felt that his nose was much more comfortable up.

"You said... a tour guide?" He was surprised because he thought he would be beaten up as usual, but he didn't expect the other party to ask him to be a tour guide.

"Yes, we are new here, and we are not very familiar with this city. Maybe you can take us around. There will be rewards, soft white bread and filling coarse bread."

Qingchuan is now wearing a dark green robe with silver patterns, which looks very expensive.In addition, he was accompanied by a tall and mighty orc warrior, who looked like a guard.Anyone who looked at him knew he was a rich man of a higher class.

Because of his gentle and beautiful appearance, and his voice is not rough, many people even thought he was a noble lady.

The child was immediately moved. He didn't feel that he had any capital to be deceived, and even if he sold it, he couldn't sell it for any price.

Satiating food, that's all he needs, it's what keeps him alive.

"Okay, I'm the most familiar with this place. I was born and raised here." His voice was full of pride and loneliness. It's true that he was born and raised, but he didn't have a proper resident certificate. A little mouse in the gutter.

Qing Chuan said that he likes "mysterious and interesting" places, and his children take him to "mysterious and interesting" places - brothels, Colosseum, illegal trade fairs and so on.He is like a pure tourist, playing everywhere, and playing everywhere soon.

"What are you looking for?" Wei Ge asked him in a low voice.

"There is a big slave trader in this city who consumes a lot of slaves every year. He has a Colosseum..."

He didn't say the following words, but Wei Ge already understood that Qing Chuan wanted to do business without money, and he would take advantage of others.

"Businessmen who do this kind of business are very cautious and have strong guards. We can also gather a group of coolies by the way." Qing Chuan said with a smile, "I have set the coordinates of the teleportation array on the flat ground behind our house. You can teleport people there at any time, but you need a lot of magic stones."

Qingchuan has no shortage of magic stones, but he lacks people, so this is a very profitable deal.

"The other one is books. Our school's library is actually only full of two bookshelves, which is really shabby. After the matter here is resolved, would you like to accompany me to the two largest colleges in the imperial capital?"

"Are you sure?" The strong in this world are not easy to bully.

"What are you thinking? Of course, I will go in dignifiedly, and I will come up with an exchange that is enough for their hearts. Of course, not now, we are still too weak now. The weak have no right to speak."

Qingchuan thought about the future.

When the Tranquil Territory is slowly on the right track, and he has no problem going out for a while, he will go further afield. At that time, he can still command the affairs of the territory remotely.

They can walk around, copy some books, and increase their knowledge.In the future, a child may be adopted as the future heir, and he can take that child with him.

"It would be even better if we could abduct some high-level intellectuals back."

Qingchuan stayed in a high-end hotel.The hotels dedicated to rich people, warriors, and magicians are indeed magnificent, with people wearing gorgeous costumes coming in and out, and even the maids who deliver meals are prouder than the ladies from well-to-do families outside.

The guards are formal warriors, the beautiful waiters are attentive, and there are many activities that cost a lot of money. The magic lamps that ordinary people dare not use outside are always on day and night.

Of course, the daily fee is also very 'advanced', one day is equal to a commoner's salary for one year.

A place that provides the happiness of the rich and makes people drunk.

It was only after leaving the quiet collar that I realized that there is a big gap between the rich and the poor in this world.

The poor starve to death, and the rich wipe their butts with expensive fish fillets.

The civilian class is almost immobile, and only a very few lucky ones who are found to have extremely high talents can change their destiny through learning—no, it can’t be said to be a complete change, those people want to pay a price for learning, they need to sign a contract The contract, after completing their studies, they either sell themselves to the rich and powerful, or sell themselves to their teachers.

But at least the children of these people have more opportunities.

And those without talent, or those with low talent, don't even have the opportunity to try.

"It's no wonder that the free compulsory education attracted so many people."

Qing Chuan stood at the window and looked at the busy traffic on the street outside. He saw those thin-suited children who peddled along the street and tried their best to put on a smiling face, and he also saw the children of noble families sitting in the chariots pulled by monsters and bossing around their servants.

The frame of the noble's house was rampant, and the groom's whip and the curse fell on the fruit seller on the side of the road. He fell into the mud and the fruit was scattered all over the ground.

Passers-by didn't care, and the carriage sped past, as if this was a daily routine, and it was no surprise.

The child didn't cry, he got up quickly, and while desperately picking up the fruit, he bowed down to apologize to the passers-by who disturbed him.

There was a smile on his face all the time, but there was a look of fatigue in his eyes.My body was shivering from the cold soaked in muddy water, and sometimes I would unconsciously touch my belly when I saw a dim sum shop by the roadside.

Is it cold?

Are you hungry?

It is too difficult to say fairness in this era, and there is no absolute fairness.Even Qingchuan can only say that what he can provide is a relatively fair opportunity.

He remembered that when he was studying, the best resources were concentrated in public schools and admissions were based on merit.Instead of concentrating the best resources in private schools like the UK and the US next door, the best resources are concentrated in private schools, where the rich are selected for admission.

The former is civilian education, while the latter is elite education. It is difficult for you to tell whether the 'elite' refers to the child itself or the child's parents.

"Thinking about the good, their slack is our opportunity." Wei Ge appeared in the glass mirror, and his tall figure enveloped Qing Chuan.

Qing Chuan laughed, he turned around, put his arms around Wei Ge's neck, forcing him to bend down and get close to Qing Chuan.

Qingchuan's lips were a little cold, and the kiss was gentle and lingering.

Downstairs is a lively street, and at any time someone will look up and see overlapping figures on the mirror.

Wei Ge's heart was beating fast, and his hands were tightly pressed against the glass mirror, as if he had been captured, but he fell in love with the predator's beast, and carefully retracted his sharp claws.

"We, I like the word, 'we'."

Qing Chuan smiled, stretched out his hand and directly closed the curtain.

The waiter who had been guarding the door got a silver coin, and the new guest asked him to prepare some warm bread for the fruit seller downstairs who fell on the ground.

The nobles seldom have this kind of generosity and kindness without return or benefit. This is the first time the waiter has received such a task.She went to the kitchen, exchanged silver coins for a basket of bread, and gave it to the fruit seller at the door.

The hotel chef deliberately chose freshly baked bread so that it would be warm to eat.

This child is often here, begging for good-hearted people to buy his fruit, and occasionally kind-hearted wives and young ladies take care of him.However, it was probably the first time to order someone to deliver bread, and the child was a little at a loss.

"Let's eat, a guest upstairs asked me to prepare it."

It was too cold outside, the waiter gave him the things and went back.

The bread was still hot from the oven. The child looked at the resplendent hotel and held the warm bread in his arms. He wanted to know who it was.

The clothes were piled on the floor, and the quilt slipped to the side.A bitten rose petal landed on the pillow, its juice staining the sheets red.

Once you get used to one place, you can ignite different enthusiasm if you change the place and change the style.

Maybe that's what the honeymoon is all about.

Of course, they're not here for their honeymoon, and there are plenty of serious things to do.

The rich and powerful lord bought a two-horse carriage and a veteran driver as a gift.It is said that the driver of a noble family once made a mistake and was sold. He changed hands several times. Because he was old, he half sold and half gave it to Qingchuan.

"You are old. Ah, it doesn't matter, as long as you can use it." Qing Chuan handed a few gold coins to the owner of the car dealership.

The carriage is an ordinary carriage, a very common one, and the paint on the outside is a little bit peeled off.The horse is also a common horse, not a monster, not a famous horse, very docile.

Qing Chuan was sitting in the carriage, Wei Ge saw that the wall inside was full of wooden boards, without cushions it was rather hard, so he put his hand on the back of his head, worried that the car would be bumped and bumped.

Qing Chuan glanced back, stopped sitting upright, leaned slightly, leaned on Wei Ge, reached out to touch the driver outside, opened his mouth and said silently: Thief.

Wei Ge noticed it early, but he didn't say anything, Qing Chuan seemed to have his own ideas.

The frame went all the way to some kind of Colosseum, where the money is.Qing Chuan and the two paid the money, and one got a wooden mask, his was a cyan eagle, Wei Ge was a white leopard, and the two got mixed into the masked people.

If they are VIPs, there are VIP boxes, but they are just ordinary guests who pay to come in. There is a seat, but the location is not very good, in a corner.In the corner where no light can even come in, there are no people nearby, and it is far away from the arena.

"It's so lively..."

They came late, and the game had already started below, two hungry monsters, a crumbling protective net, and fanatics with red eyes.Enthusiasts even threw coins directly at the Colosseum.

There are gentlemen who are usually polite and gentle, and there are also delicate and charming ladies, but at the moment they are all red-eyed beasts, and they are not stingy with their money.

What a gold-sucking behemoth.

The mercenary group caught in the slave business last year provided several supply points, and this is one of them.On the bright side, there are only fighting beasts, but there will be different performances for some regular customers, such as between different races, or between intelligent creatures and monsters.

There are also special auctions for extra rare ones.

They consume a large number of Warcraft and intelligent races every year, and are long-term major customers of the slave-hunting mercenary group.

In pursuit of the money and the adrenaline rush, they will do anything.

Qing Chuan bit Wei Ge's ear sideways, they looked like a flirting young couple, just like other young couples sneaking around the corner.

"I've already positioned this place, I'll check it out later."

"Do you have an idea?"

"Well, I have some clues." He hooked his fingertips, and several pieces of paper the size of soybeans gathered from all over the place, fell into his palm, and disappeared after turning around again. "There are very complicated passages underground. Stop it layer by layer. In addition to monsters, there are many intelligent races, there are many orcs, and there are even elves."

Qing Chuan looks like he is laughing, or acting like a baby with his lover, but every word that comes out of his mouth is full of malice, "It seems that the first game is a good start. I don't know what forces are behind it. It's full."

"Warcraft can gather together and run a zoo." A finger.

"The controlled intelligent life can become a leader." Two fingers.

"The guards here can be pulled out to be miners." Three fingers.

Make the best use of everything, kill three birds with one stone.

Huge interests attracted him, making his eyes sparkle.

Qing Chuan is very frank, he is not for justice, or black and white.

Wei Ge was helping the tyrant, "Leave those fighters to me. None of them can escape."

The author has something to say: Qingchuan: Robbery!

Wei Ge: Listen to him.
