"No, we can still discuss the split." Ilea was startled and said quickly.
"It has nothing to do with the split. It's too dangerous. It's because I didn't think carefully before." Li Yu said.
"There are some dangers... This money will make many people jealous, so I asked for 50% of it, but I can find a way to contact some big chambers of commerce and ask them to help transport the money back as long as I pay a certain price.
As long as we return to Greenfield, the Arias family has the final say."
"It's not just about money, it's also about skills."
"Um?"
"It's new and can surpass the gem processing skills of the dwarf jewelry masters. This kind of thing is more attractive to those big nobles."
"Well... you said it this way, it seems like this. If any company masters this technology, it can immediately monopolize the entire jewelry processing market, not just Bratis, but also those overseas city-states, so that all the dwarf jewelry craftsmen can
Losing your job and still being able to pass it on from generation to generation is like a cornucopia."
"So these rubies cannot be sold." Li Yu said.
Miss Rabbit looked struggling. She knew the truth, but with such a large amount of money, the opportunity to get out of poverty and become rich was right in front of her, but she couldn't grasp it. This kind of thing was really unacceptable.
"Can't we discuss it again? Come up with a way. You are so smart, you must know how to minimize the risk. Or we can do as you said before, lose some if we lose some, and sell it secretly in the Western Territory.
Stay hidden, I have a way..."
"No matter how small the risk is, it is still dangerous. Since you can make money selling pepper safely, why take the risk?" Li Yu interrupted the girl, leaving the latter speechless.
In fact, if there were no rubies, Miss Rabbit would be happy to help Li Yu sell pepper and make a net profit of 30%.
But after seeing the more profitable rubies, her mentality became unbalanced, and she no longer valued the three melons and two dates she earned from selling peppers.
This is also human nature.
Just like many investors who speculated in stocks, they didn't sell at the highest point, and they didn't want to sell in the future, even if they could still make some money. However, they always thought about the scenery on the top of the mountain and were unwilling to do so, so they stayed until ST.
What's more, Ilea's character wants money rather than her life.
If she really got the idea and asked her to fetch water in a bamboo basket, the child might be driven crazy.
So Li Yu took another ruby from the bag and threw it to Ilea opposite, "This is for you."
Miss Rabbit was stunned at first, and then became ecstatic, but before she could say anything, Li Yu added, "You can't sell it, keep it as a family heirloom."
"Um???"
"As long as you can keep this ruby, I will give you another one at this time next year, and next year... I will give you as many rubies as you can live. If I find that any ruby is missing, it will be gone.
.”
!!!
Miss Rabbit's ears stood up again.
"Also, it's time for you to go to work. Fulfill your responsibilities as a lord. It's almost stinking to stay in the house every day without going out."
"What? What did you say, stink? Why does it stink? I don't stink! How could I stink!" Ilea protested loudly and incoherently, as if her tail had been stepped on.
Li Yu ignored it and just continued, "In addition, I also plan to hire some people."
"Who do you want? I am also very short of people here. The candidate to replace Fausto has not been decided yet."
"Don't worry, I don't want nobility, just commoners. Don't be too old, don't be too young, just between ten and fourteen. I want four first. Those who work at home and have farmed their own land are best."
"It's quite easy to find him, but ten years old is too young. What he can do is limited. What's the use of hiring him?"
"After all, I only come here once every three days. I always need someone to help me with things here."
Miss Rabbit hesitated for a moment, perhaps because she felt sorry for taking a ruby from Li Yu for nothing, and then whispered, "Do you want to turn them into Saturday believers? As long as you don't go too far and make a big show of it, I can do it."
Pretending not to know."
Li Yu looked at Ilea again, wondering for the first time whether he had chosen the wrong partner.
It wouldn't be too surprising if this woman sells herself to Satan Li Yu one day for money.
After Li Yu left, Miss Rabbit quickly lowered her head, sniffed her clothes, and muttered.
"It obviously has no smell, but that guy is trying to scare me again."
But having said that, Ilea still asked the maid to prepare a wooden bucket and bath water, and took a hot bath until her skin was red from rubbing before stepping out of the wooden bucket.
And she also felt refreshed for a while, and finally the muddled state that she had accumulated during the past few days of frantically serving the spirits of her ancestors was swept away.
After putting on her clothes again and clutching the priceless ruby in her hand, Miss Rabbit hummed a tune and went to Fausto to deal with the government affairs that had been backlogged for several days.
Not to mention, Ilea was quite efficient when she was busy. I don’t know about other things. Anyway, just after lunch, Li Yu got the manpower he wanted.
There were four people in total, three boys and one girl, the oldest was thirteen and the youngest was ten.
The manager specially came to ask Li Yu if a girl could do it. He was told that it was fine as long as he was willing to endure hardship, so he recommended a friend's niece.
Li Yu called the people together and mainly discussed the issues of treatment and salary. According to Fausto, as long as Li Yu is willing to take care of the food, the parents of these children will feel quite happy.
But Li Yu still paid an additional salary of one silver per person per month and announced two days off every five days.
Although the religious group has not yet been established, some basic systems can already be implemented.
After listening to this, the four children looked at each other with surprise on their faces. Although they did not know the name of Saturday, they probably felt Saturday's call.
Fausto was also a little surprised when he heard this. Five days of work and two days of rest were considered work. This kind of thing was simply unheard of.
After hesitating for a while, the old man pulled Li Yu aside and said, "I know you are doing it for their own good. Since they are too young, you are afraid that they will get tired. But if this continues, they will probably become lazy and gradually take five days off."
Take it as a matter of course for two days.”
"That's just right. I hope that one day, everyone in this world will take working five days and taking two days off as a matter of course, and then teach their children and grandchildren this way, and pass it on from generation to generation until it becomes an iron law in the world.
." Li Yu said.
Fausto smiled bitterly when he heard this, "Then the world is in chaos, let alone the world. If you do this, someone in the castle will probably come up with ideas. Fortunately, there are only four children now, so the impact is not too big.
"
Li Yu smiled and did not argue with the manager.
This is why he told Ilea to find a child, because the new world should be built by new people.
Fausto paused and said seriously, "No matter what, I want to thank you on behalf of the Arias family. If it weren't for you, Miss Ilea wouldn't know how long she would have been willful. I heard many people say that you can
Performing miracles, I didn't believe it when I first heard about it, but now I find that you do have magical power.
"It can be seen that Miss Ilea also relies on and trusts you. Although you have not known each other for a long time, her trust in you has even exceeded that of all her blood relatives, probably second only to her guardian knight Al.
Fred, and Alfred is old too."
"What do you want to say?"
"Honestly, I don't know whether this trust is a blessing or a curse for the Arias family. I have met too many people in my life. With all due respect, people like you can never really be used by Miss Ilea.
"Yes." The old manager's eyes were burning.
On the opposite side, Li Yu's expression remained calm, "I don't think the relationship between people is only use and being used. Miss Ilea and I are more like allies. We will join hands to welcome the arrival of the new era.
