"Of the ten people, only seven survived. The other three failed to save their breath and have lost their breath." Butler Goda said helplessly.
The reason why seven survived was because the Iron Armored City of the Castle was willing to spend money during the emergency rescue. Otherwise, there would be at most three left.
Even if they are saved and can continue to live, they are still seven disabled people who cannot take care of themselves and have to be taken care of by others, unless Li Yinguang is willing to spend a lot of money to install mechanical limbs for them.
The cost of installing mechanical limbs for a few people is enough to buy dozens of intact slaves to serve. No matter how you look at it, it is a loss-making business.
"good!"
Li Yinguang sighed, he saved just a few people. As for who he saved, it didn't matter. With his limited ability, he couldn't save more people.
Anyone who meets him is considered fate.
"What is your name?"
Li Yinguang alone pushed the disabled woman from the Shadow Clan to the housekeeper Golda in a mechanical wheelchair. In addition to being a little depressed, she recovered the fastest after treatment, which showed that her disabled body still contained huge energy and there was a lot of energy.
Strong faith supports her to continue living.
"Sophia!"
His voice was hoarse, like that of a cigarette smoker, and his eyes were calm and unwavering.
Li Yinguang looked at her for a while before he smiled and said, "I saved you!"
Sophia nodded: "Thank you, you will receive my loyalty and repayment in the future." There was not much emotion in her voice, it seemed more like she was discussing a deal.
"good!"
Li Yinguang looked at the mechanical wheelchair sitting under her and the broken arm. He raised his head and asked the housekeeper Golda: "How much does it cost to find an alchemist to connect her?"
After a pause, he said first: "Try to give her a better makeover!"
The housekeeper Goda smiled bitterly and said: "Master, she needs a tailor-made mechanical body. The cost should not be too cheap. I can't say how much it will cost, but it should not be less than a hundred silver ox coins!"
Li Yinguang nodded: "Order one for her. Well, let's use it first. When we have money in the future, we will make it for you!"
The next words were more likely to be spoken to Sophia.
After the housekeeper Goda pushed Sophia away, Li Yinguang muttered: "Money, we have to find a way to get silver cattle quickly. The armored city of the 'Castle' has not been repaired well, and so many wastes have been brought back. 'Save grain.
'It's almost time to see the bottom of this!"
First, he asked old man Zhou to get through some connections and redeem Scarface, Heizi, and Xiaoman from the 'Diwei'. The person who asked someone to find connections spent 650 silver bulls.
Now I have bought back seven cripples, all of whom need treatment and mechanical modification before they can live and work normally, which is another huge expense.
If you are not a family, you really don't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive. The Castle's armored city is in urgent need of a 'z3-type' smelting furnace. Each one costs four thousand silver oxen, and at least three of them are needed. It also needs steel materials to repair the deck, and by the way.
Buying fuel, these are all basic things, not counting the big expense of "weapons".
"I have to think of a way to make money quickly!"
Li Yinguang's eyes flickered and he muttered: "Even if it's a crooked and unorthodox method!"
At night, the Pimp Inn in Manbach Town is brightly lit.
Although many young women don't want to buy the 'Diwei Hao', this will not delay the business in the store. The boss behind it is also quite resourceful. In just a few days, he did not know how to get hundreds more people.
A woman.
"Have you heard that something big happened again at the Zhenbei Iron Mine?"
"Didn't you just get robbed? What happened?"
"Rat plague, I heard that a large number of gold-eating rats emerged from deep underground and killed all the miners mining underground. No one survived. The scene was horrific. The Zhenbei Iron Mine has completely stopped operating."
"No way. Are you sure the news is true?"
"I have a relative in the law enforcement team, and the designation is true."
"It's not just that the house leaked and it rained all night, and it just happened to be robbed and caught up again. The Zhenbei Iron Mine is really full of disasters!"
"Who says otherwise? With such a commotion, the price of steel in Manbach Town will definitely rise sharply!"
Zhibaige's eyes flickered as he listened to the conversation between the people at the next table. The Zhenbei Iron Mine had just been plundered and robbed, and was there another rat infestation?
If this is the case, then the steel resources in Manbach Town will not be sufficient for a long time in the future, and the price of scarce goods will inevitably rise. At this time, hoarding a lot of steel materials will definitely make a lot of money.
From the lord of the armored city to the private machinery modification shop in the town, steel is an indispensable material.
"If I can convince that fool Bruce, maybe I can make a fortune out of it!"
In Zhibaige's eyes, Li Yinguang, who inherited the legacy of the Castle and Old Dick, was a rich fool with a lot of silver bulls in his hands.
He didn't know that Li Yinguang didn't actually have many silver bulls in his pocket.
…
"Hoarding steel?"
Li Yinguang frowned and thought to himself that he didn't even have the funds to repair the deck of the "Castle", so where would he have the spare money to hoard steel.
He would definitely not tell Zhibai Pavilion about this kind of thing. Not only would Li Yinguang not say it, he had already told the housekeeper Goda and others that the "Castle" iron-clad city was the foundation for them to settle down in Manbach Town.
The less people know about the truth in the city, the better. Anyone can leak the situation inside the armored city at will.
"Okay, why are we hoarding steel?" Li Yinguang asked pretending to be puzzled.
Zhibaige smiled and said excitedly: "I have just received news that the Zhenbei Iron Mine has suffered from a rat infestation, and the entire Zhenbei Iron Mine has been paralyzed. It is still unknown how long it will take to resume operations. Think about it, the Qianjiao Zhenbei Iron Mine has just been destroyed.
After people plundered, the back legs were paralyzed due to the rat infestation, so will the price of steel and other materials in Manbach town skyrocket in a short period of time?"
"meeting!"
Li Yinguang nodded, then sighed and said with a wry smile: "But this is ill-gotten wealth!"
Ill-gotten gains?
Listening to Li Yinguang's words, Zhibaige was stunned. Being able to survive and strengthen yourself in troubled times is fundamental. Who cares how you got the money in your hands.
Which armored city lord is not stained with the blood of others and has climbed up the ranks step by step.
"Why don't you think about it? You know that this opportunity is rare. Let's make a time difference at most. We can expect that the price of steel will skyrocket, and other people in the town can also guess it." Zhibaige suppressed the beating of his chest and tried to calmly smile.
Trying to persuade Li Yinguang.
Li Yinguang waved his hand calmly: "Don't think about it, it doesn't matter if you don't make this kind of money, it will save everyone gossiping behind your back!"
Zhi Baige was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He thought to himself that you are just a fool. Do you still care about others gossiping about you behind your back?
Come on, my trip was in vain.
Little does he know that Li Yinguang is actually very greedy, but the funds on hand are simply not enough to operate. At this time, doing this kind of thing of hoarding materials to earn the price difference will only make people jealous, and it will be like a paper-thin castle.
Not to mention someone with thick thighs, or someone with slightly thicker arms, they wouldn't be able to carry it.
Try not to cause trouble as much as possible, at least pretend to be a grandchild before the 'Castle' is repaired and perfected! This chapter has been completed!
