Single Unlimited Wonderful Life
Chapter 229
All of this was destroyed by the wave.
Raphtalia also made up her mind and wanted to fight against the tide. Originally, she could not even see the hope of life. After all, she had become a slave. It was not easy just to survive. , slave owners do not treat their slaves well.
However, Levi gave her hope of survival. He not only restored her freedom, but also taught her a lot of precious knowledge. It also gave her strength and gave her the ability to fight against the waves.
In the last wave, she killed many monsters brought by the wave, which gave her a sense of revenge. Although her parents could not come back, killing those monsters could comfort her parents' spirits in heaven. .
Raphtalia looked at Li Wei's beautiful profile, and she had already made a decision in her heart. She would follow Li Wei forever. No matter where Li Wei went, she would follow him. As long as Li Wei did not abandon her, she would follow him. I will never leave the team.
Levi smiled and said: "Why are you looking at me? Is there something dirty on my face?"
"No, I just think that I am lucky to be able to meet adults." Raphtalia said.
Things in the past cannot be changed. Only the future can be looked forward to and changed, so in order to save more people from the threat of the wave, she has to work hard.
Levi rubbed Raphtalia's head, flattened the furry round ears on her head, and said with a smile: "Don't think about these things for now, help put out all the goods, people here need these things. "
"Yeah! Okay!" Raphtalia replied energetically.
Raphtalia and Lysia moved the things from the car and placed them on the soft cloth that had been laid out in advance. Levi rubbed a wooden sign with his hands and wrote a big "Support" in Kingdom characters. barter”.
The finished sign was placed next to the product. Levi took out a few small mats, sat down, and shouted loudly: "Don't miss it if you pass by, there is a big opening bonus, buy three and get free, buy more and get free." There are many, and you can also barter for them, so everyone should come and take a look!”
Next to her, Lissia was confused when she heard Li Wei's pyrotechnic shouting. She didn't expect that Li Weigui was a Four Saints warrior and usually paid attention to various major events, but he had such a down-to-earth face.
She was already prepared to shout out, but she didn't expect that Levi would shout out loud, which made her feel incredible. For the natives of this world, brave men are inherently superior to others. The brave men only need to concentrate on fighting against the tide. Other problems will be solved by someone for the brave men. Therefore, among the brave men recorded in history, there are only those who are willing to bend down. Those who do things that ordinary people do are the minority in the entire body.
Levi doesn't care about other people's opinions. If he's not in his own world, he doesn't care about the so-called influence at all. He does whatever he wants, and naturally he doesn't care about things like image.
In the real world, he is a top student at Dongyi University and the boss behind the Yakuza organization and a large club. The influence of his words and deeds needs to be paid attention to.
But here, he doesn't have those image baggage and can do whatever he wants.
Lissia said: "Sir, we can do this kind of thing. It would be a bit disgraceful for you to do it!"
As a companion of the brave, you not only have to follow the brave on adventures and fight against waves, but you also have to deal with trivial things that waste time for the brave.
This is an unspoken rule that you must abide by after becoming a hero's companion, because the hero's energy is limited, and everyone hopes that the hero can fight the wave well instead of wasting time carelessly.
But to a certain extent, it is also because everyone regards the brave as the strongest tool to fight the wave, so there is such an unspoken rule. In the eyes of many people, the brave just needs to fight the wave, and everything else is fine. It's not doing your job properly.
Levi smiled and said: "What's so shameful about this? As a brave man, isn't it reasonable for me to get to know the people I saved? I'll be ready to find replacement money later. As for me, I'll be responsible for bartering. "
Liscia's thinking was quick and she guessed what Levi meant in an instant. She felt warm inside immediately. Compared to those legendary warriors, Levi made her feel more flesh and blood.
Levi smiled and said: "What is the purpose of fighting the wave? Isn't it just to prevent everyone from suffering what Raphtalia has experienced? But now, the help that we can do is for those who need help. , is also very important. It’s okay to look up in front of you, but you also have to look behind you.”
Lissia nodded and said: "It's me, Meng Lang. The meaning of a brave existence is to bring hope to others. Big things are important, but small things are also important!"
The reason why Levi did this was not only to take care of Raphtalia's feelings, but also because the little beast-eared lolita all over the street made him feel healed. Although he has experienced several worlds, this is the first time he has seen so many beast-eared girls. As a fully-controlled Li Wei, beast-eared girls are quite popular.
A petite girl with animal ears who looked to be only three or four years old, wearing a blouse over a stain-resistant cotton coat, squatted down and looked at the toys on the stall, showing a longing expression.
Levi smiled and said: "Kid, do you want a toy?"
At this time, Levi looked like a weird uncle who did strange things to Licia and Raphtalia. However, they could feel that Levi had no ill intentions.
The little girl with animal ears nodded heavily, and took out a few copper coins that were already coated with pulp from the pocket of her coat. She had a reluctant expression on her face, and her big furry tail was also trembling slightly. Right now, she was having a fierce battle in her heart.
When Levi saw this scene, he wanted to laugh in his heart. Sure enough, the furry little cutie was really healing.
Levi picked up the stuffed doll that the young girl with animal ears was staring at, put it in her arms, and said, "This is a gift from my eldest brother."
Raphtalia squatted in front of the little girl with animal ears, put her hand on the top of her head, and rubbed it gently.
The beast-eared loli used "kill by touching the head" on the young beast-eared girl, and the effect was amazing! Li received 4 points of real damage! .
Chapter. The Brave’s Grocery Stall
The animal-eared girl, who seemed to be a canine-like demi-human, was still a little confused when she was holding the velvet doll. When she realized that the thing she was holding in her hands was not an illusion, her tail started to shake quickly and swung. It looks like a small windmill.
,:;;'『'",』";,!!:;『!?'':,:?,"':,,'』'!,!:,?';!!;"?.! ;:"Spare;',.',;?!:;!,. The young girl with animal ears said excitedly: "Thank you, big brother! "
Levi knelt down, like Raphtalia, and gently rubbed the head of the little girl with animal ears, and said: "Go tell your friends, big brother has free toys for you. By the way, also You have to tell your parents, there are a lot of good things for sale here, there are big opening bonuses, and the discounts are huge.”
Li Wei also gave Zhang Xianru, a young girl with animal ears, a leaflet. The colorful leaflet was quite beautiful.
The young girl with animal ears nodded, and after saying goodbye to Li Wei and others, she hugged the baby and ran away with the flyer.
"What a cute kid." Levi stood up with a particularly bright smile on his face.
After sending away the little beast-eared girl, Levi continued to shout. His shouts quickly attracted the attention of many people, especially the big wooden sign next to him supporting barter, which attracted many demi-humans. After seeing it, he hurried home to get his things.
After a while, the flow of people outside the grocery stall set up by Levi gradually became denser. Some demi-humans came to buy items with metal currency money, and some demi-humans brought various valuable things made by themselves. Go to Livi to barter.
As a result, Levi's stall, which had just been set up for a short time, ushered in its peak period.
"Boss, do you accept salted fish here?" said a demi-human with a human posture but obvious fish characteristics. Although he has the physical characteristics of a fish, he is handsome and tall, but his face is The sad look on his face gave him a feeling of frustration.
"Take it, why don't you~" Levi said with a smile.
The male demi-human with fish characteristics put down the bamboo basket behind him and poured out the salted fish on the gray cloth specially used for placing exchange goods.
Piles of dried salted fish of various types. On the beach, the best thing is this kind of dried fish. The demi-humans with fish characteristics are called "sea people" in this world. They Can communicate with the sea and use various magical powers to find prey in the sea.
However, the sea people who strictly abide by the commandments do not dare to use their own power to hunt for treasure in the sea, so their lives are not rich. In the ocean of this world, there are all kinds of powerful sea beasts under the sea surface. Even the Dunkleosteus and Canglong from the ancient times of the earth are at the bottom of the food chain.
Most of the treasures on the seabed are protected by sea beasts. Even the sea dwellers who can survive in the sea do not dare to act recklessly in the sea. Therefore, the biggest income of the sea dwellers is all kinds of fish.
But for the sea dwellers who couldn't stay away from the beach, the dried fish in their hands couldn't be sold at a good price locally. This Asian man was already mentally prepared to be priced down by Levi.
"Is this dried fish from deep-sea fish? Hey, this is dried fish. This is a very rare thing." Levi quickly checked the dried fish and found some good things inside.
"It can be exchanged for silver coins. If you want to barter, you can choose goods worth silver coins from me." Li Wei smiled.
Li Wei's words surprised everyone in the queue. He could earn such a profit by piling up humble dried fish.
The fish demi-human picked out a pile of goods at Levi's side, took a few silver coins that were still left, and left happily.
After the first crab eater, the enthusiasm of the others was also ignited, and they all started exchanging goods with various local goods.
Levi's top priority is not making money, so the purchase prices given are quite reasonable. Throughout the whole day, Li Wei dealt with various customers. After sending away the last customer, Li Wei and others closed the stall and found a nearby hotel to stay.
Li Wei and others are well-known here. Local people all know that there is a businessman with space ability who carries a large amount of goods with him. Not only are they high-quality and low-priced, but they can also be bartered. People in the small town People relied on the local products they made to buy many urgently needed items.
Inside the hotel, in the lobby, pedestrians found a table in the corner and ordered a sumptuous dinner.
Although Li Wei did not deliberately pursue profits and set the prices of his products very close to the people, as the number of transactions increased, he could occasionally get some good things in exchange for them, although these things were of little use to him. But judging by the value of the world here, it's pretty good. If Li Wei is really just an ordinary businessman, then he has made a lot of money from this trip alone.
Looking at Lissia sitting opposite him, Levi said: "々. It's really hard on you today. Help carry the goods and find extra money."
Lissia said: "What's so hard about this? I'm just helping with some chores. I originally thought that demi-humans were dangerous existences, but after meeting them today, I found that they are actually quite simple and there are no outsiders. So many tricks."
Levi said: "Because the environment here is more closed than the outside world, it is a typical acquaintance society. In this kind of environment, everyone must take into account their own reputation. After all, the place is only so big. Whoever does it It won’t take long for bad things to spread to everyone, and by that time, the person who did the bad things will die socially.”
This situation is actually like this in most places. The more relatively closed the body is, the more the individuals of the body care about the evaluation of themselves by the outside world. This situation has advantages and disadvantages, but for the Dominion sub-humans who need unity In this case, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
Levi continued: "The demi-humans here in the Dominion are indeed more honest, but the side of Sidwillut is different from here."
Lissia said curiously: "Sir, you have never been to Sidwillut, why are you so sure that this is the case?"
Levi smiled and said: "It's just some simple social psychology. But having said that, the economic conditions here in the Dominion, as you can see from the things they exchanged today, are not very good. Basically, they are all different. They grow crudely processed local products. If it were another businessman, the price would definitely be lowered for various reasons. If you don't take the initiative to take it out, you won't make much money at all."
Chapter 4. Night talk at the dinner table
Raphtalia also has experience traveling with caravans, so she has a good idea of the purchase and sale prices of various items.
Raphtalia said: "Today's dried salted fish from the fish demi-human, if it were from the kingdom, foreign merchants from other places would keep the purchase price quite low. Generally speaking, the dried salted fish from the bamboo basket , if the purchase price can be worth a silver coin, it’s already considered pretty good.”
Lissia showed a surprised expression. She had purchased dried sea fish in the royal capital. Dried sea fish was much more expensive than dried light fish. Dried light fish usually costs a copper coin pound, while dried sea fish starts with a silver coin. Pounds, if it is dried jellyfish skin or dried jellyfish, it will be more expensive.
However, the kingdom's merchants came here to purchase various dried fish, but the purchase prices were so low. In other words, the kingdom's merchants used such channels to earn huge profits that outsiders could not imagine.
If dried fish, a shelf-stable dry food like salted fish, is only made from light fish, the fishy smell of light fish will affect the taste of the dried fish. Ordinary people don't care about such a thing, but dignitaries don't like such a smell. taste.
In addition, since the Royal Capital is inland, the price of things shipped from the seaside will rise to a certain extent when transported to the Royal Capital. Therefore, the price of dried salted fish, which is considered a daily diet for ordinary people at the seaside, has increased inland. Many times, it has become a luxury product that can only be consumed by people with a wealthy family.
And to a certain extent, this method of deliberately lowering the purchase price is also the epitome of the attitude of ordinary people in the kingdom towards demi-humans.
Lissia asked: "Sir, the fish demi-human's dried salted fish was purchased today. Do you think the purchase price was too high or too low?"
Li Wei thought for a while and said: "I just paid the normal purchase price. After all, there were a lot of dried fish in the pile of dried salted fish. The reason why I gave such a high purchase price was because of the dried fish." It’s mostly because of dryness.”
The mother itself is an existence that is difficult to capture. Most of the mothers are poisonous, and just getting close to them is very dangerous. Moreover, the mother in the sea looks huge, but after removing the body parts, it can only weigh less than 1% at most. It is precisely because of the difficulty in making that the price of this special dried salted fish is quite high.
However, the seamen who made dried fish did not make much money. Most of their profits were taken away by intermediary merchants. Why did the ancient Chongguo always emphasize agriculture and suppress business? It was because they realized the bad nature of merchants. Those businessmen who pursue profits as much as life can even trample on the law, so there is no need to be polite to these people.
Raphtalia said: "According to the knowledge I gained from the book, the reason why it is difficult for the Dominion to develop is because it lacks various key production technologies. At the same time, it cannot control its external trade channels. hands, so we can only let the external acquisition merchants exploit us.”
Li Wei smiled and said: "Isn't this a normal thing? It is only from this generation of queens that the kingdom will reverse the discrimination and oppression of demi-humans. The previous queens were merciless in suppressing demi-humans. After all, The existence of the Demihuman Dominion itself is a thorn in the throat for the kingdom, and no one wants to make this thorn get harder."
When Lisia and Raphtalia heard Levi's words, they both showed surprised expressions, because this generation of Queen Mirelia had not shown any kindness towards demi-humans before, but now she heard this from Levi. They all found the news a bit incredible.
Levi said: "The Queen not only intends to abolish slavery, but also forcibly liberates all demihuman slaves, and imposes corresponding punishment on those who enslave demihumans. At the same time, those on the Dominion side who are willing to go to Sidwillut, The kingdom will also provide escort, travel and settlement expenses.”
The two people were dumbfounded by Li Wei's words, because such a thing was simply two extremes compared to the kingdom's previous policies and attitudes towards demi-humans.
Lithia noticed the problem with Levi's words and said: "But if the queen does this, she will offend those with vested interests! Those are nobles. If those nobles unite, even the queen will have to compromise."
Li Wei smiled and said: "The kingdom will soon change. Now the queen has decided to industrialize, and industrialization requires a large population. Now the nobles use various methods to trap the population for their own interests. It is a complete waste of this manpower on our own territory. Conflicts already exist and will soon intensify, and may even turn into a civil war."
Lithia and Raphtalia both had confused expressions on their faces at this time. Neither of them expected that the war between the Kingdom and Hobre had just ended, and a civil war was about to begin again.
Li Wei smiled and said: "There will always be pain in development, and there will always be people who can't keep up with the pace of progress. For ordinary people who can't keep up, the upper echelons of the kingdom naturally have a coping mechanism, but for those who are domineering Fu's nobles, such a mechanism is not suitable for them, and what will follow will be a war between the new nobles and the old nobles, the kind that will never end."
Mirelia revealed her thoughts and plans to Li Wei, and also asked Li Wei for advice. However, her ideas and plans themselves were very mature, and they were more in line with this era, so they would not go too far. Pulling the egg.
Mirelia's plan is quite simple, that is, to provoke the nobles to fight against the nobles. Industrialization will inevitably bring profits, and she learned from Hobre's shareholding system and prepared to divide the industrial enterprises operated by the kingdom into shares. The royal family will retain % of the shares of the industrial enterprises, and the remaining shares will be divided into shares. They are all used to win over various upstarts, and use the benefits to tie various upstarts to the royal chariot.
