Douluo's Gourd

After Shui Bing'er left, Wang Xiaofeng turned his head and plunged into the food pile, one by one, the clean white dinner plates were quickly piled up on both sides of Wang Xiaofeng and Ma Hongjun.

In order not to affect the perception of other nobles, the person in charge of the banquet had to send ten waiters to serve Wang Xiaofeng and the others, so that the serving speed could barely keep up with their liquidation speed.

Then, the banquet, which was supposed to last until the evening, was forced to end early at noon.

Transported from other places, all the high-end ingredients for 300 people were eaten by the two, leaving only some side dishes and seasonings in the back kitchen.

When the waiter informed the banquet to end early, the somewhat bewildered nobles unanimously showed contemptuous glances after knowing the reason, thinking that country people are indeed country people, and they have never seen anything good.

Emperor Xue Ye was quite gracious, and smiled at Wang Xiaofeng and Ma Hongjun, saying that this time he had underestimated their food intake, and next time he would definitely prepare enough ingredients in advance to satisfy them.

When going back, Wang Xiaofeng didn't go back to the academy with everyone, but got off the carriage ahead of time at the gate of Tiandou City.

It's still early at this time, just in time to see how well the head of internal affairs I have selected has made an assessment of the situation in Tiandou City.

"Taihe Road, Yiju Hotel No. 115..." Wang Xiaofeng followed the address written on the note in his hand and searched for each room along the street.

It was not difficult to find the Livable Hotel, and the huge and conspicuous signboard quickly attracted his attention.

The hotel is three stories high and small in scale. The old exterior walls are covered with vines. It is a very old hotel.

"Hello, how can I get to No. 307?"

The waitress at the front desk raised her head vigilantly, and scanned Wang Xiaofeng, "Are you looking for someone?"

"Yes..." Wang Xiaofeng nodded, just about to say something, when he saw a strong blond man coming down the stairs beside him.

"The person I'm looking for is here."

Gref came down whistling, and immediately saw the longing figure standing in front of the counter.

He wiped his eyes, trotted in front of Wang Xiaofeng in disbelief, and said excitedly: "Boss, you have come to see me, I thought you forgot about me."

Wang Xiaofeng looked him up and down, he lost his special accent when he spoke, his complexion was rosy, and he didn't seem to be acclimatized.

Wang Xiaofeng patted him on the shoulder in satisfaction: "It looks like you've adjusted well, are you ready to have a big fight?"

"I've been waiting for your words for a long time, boss." Gref nodded energetically, then took Wang Xiaofeng back to his room, and took out a thick manuscript paper from the cabinet.

The above record is the investigation of the prices of various commodities in Tiandou City, from the cost of each stage of production to the final sales price, it is very detailed.

Wang Xiaofeng scanned it quickly, "What's the situation with the price, last year it rose by at least 30% compared to the year before."

The most exaggerated is the sugar food, which has increased by 200%.

Gref shrugged, "Last year, the weather was dry, and the grain harvests of the major princes and kingdoms as a whole declined.

Coupled with the sudden problem at the border of the Star Luo Empire, trade with neighboring countries was inevitably restricted.

All kinds of problems are superimposed, leading to skyrocketing prices. "

Wang Xiaofeng is very satisfied with this investigation report, and Gref's ability is fully demonstrated in it.

"It seems that turning the territory into a large-scale breeding farm and plantation is not a bad move. After meeting my own needs, I can still make a little money."

Seeing that his boss was very satisfied, Gref carefully mentioned the small problem that could not be solved at work: "Boss, I encountered a little trouble when I was recruiting.

When many workers heard that our place of work was not in Tiandou City, they quit their jobs, and it was useless to add money. "

"It's definitely troublesome." Wang Xiaofeng pondered for a moment, "What can you do?"

Gref said in a low voice: "My suggestion is that we can first buy some slaves to serve as manpower."

Wang Xiaofeng looked at him with a half-smile: "Didn't the empire expressly prohibit buying and selling slaves?"

Gref explained: "So this kind of unscrupulous transactions are all carried out in the black market, and with your character, the boss, these slaves are not bought by the nobles to work day and night to death, or they are slaves. He was tortured until he died like a human being.

It's much better to have a meal in the hands of the boss. "

"It makes sense." Wang Xiaofeng nodded.

"If that's the case, you should go to the black market as soon as possible to gather the manpower."

Gref smiled coyly: "Then what kind of boss, why don't we go together."

Gref was embarrassed by Wang Xiaofeng's look, "I'm just an unarmed ordinary person, isn't it normal that I haven't been to that kind of place?"

Wang Xiaofeng rolled his eyes, he never pretended to be a wolf with a big tail.

In the evening, Gref took Wang Xiaofeng to the DC area on foot.

The two walked all the way, and when they arrived, they found that it was a little early. There was only one dim oil lamp on the black market, and several people gathered together to chat, and there were some packages piled up beside them.

Since it was a black market, it was natural that the lamps were black and white. Gref also brought a candle lamp with enough candles.

As for Wang Xiaofeng, the moonlight is enough.

After about an hour, the number of people began to increase.

The dealer also began to spread a piece of cloth or a straw mat on the ground, lay out the items to be sold, and let the customers watch and choose, while the stall owner hid in the dark.

Wang Xiaofeng grabbed the enthusiastic Gref, "Don't forget our purpose this time, there will be plenty of time for you to stroll slowly."

The imperceptible mental power quickly swept across the entire street, and then was scattered.

"...A level 79 soul saint can actually let such a high-level soul master sit in charge. It seems that this black market background is not small." Wang Xiaofeng, who didn't want to cause trouble for nothing, took Ge Lie with him before the other party turned his position. The husband left the place one step ahead of time, and walked to the place where the life breath was denser.

Walking in, the small stalls gradually disappeared, replaced by neat shops.

"There are so many shops, shall we find them one by one?" Gref said in a low voice.

"No hurry, there will be no shortage of brokers in this place." Wang Xiaofeng said calmly.

Sure enough, after waiting on the spot for more than ten seconds, a thin old man stopped the two of them in the dark: "The two adults seem to be a bit unfamiliar, and old Bud is willing to provide any help to the two adults, as long as you pay a little small reward."

Gref looked at his boss and then at himself. They were all wearing black cloaks. How did the old man see that they were here for the first time.

Not surprisingly, Wang Xiaofeng threw a gold soul coin over there, "I want to buy a batch of slaves, the quality should be high."

This is a rich patron.

Old Bud happily put away the golden soul coins in his hands, and brought the two of them to a somewhat old two-story building.

A two-meter-tall man happened to be sending two cloaked men out. Seeing the three of them, he was obviously taken aback. He first sent the guests away respectfully, and then said to the old man: "Old Bud, it seems that you are lucky today, and you actually brought The guests have arrived.

Get out now, I will hand over the reward to Lie Yan Casino. "

The strong man looked at Wang Xiaofeng and Gref, and bowed respectfully: "You two guests, please come in."

After the two entered and took their seats, the strong man made a pot of tea for them, "What do you two guests want?"

"I need 50 farmers, 30 soldiers, 10 carpenters, 5 hunters, and two apprentice physicians who understand medicine..."

Wang Xiaofeng stated his needs, and the strong man recorded them one by one, asking for more specific requirements from time to time.

"According to your needs, the estimated value of this batch of goods is 5319 gold soul coins, and you have paid a deposit of 319 gold soul coins." The strong man handed a gold card to Wang Xiaofeng, "This is the pick-up certificate. You will arrive in the northwest in three days The Wanbao Pavilion in the urban area can pick up the goods after paying the final payment.”

After making the transaction, Gref suddenly lost interest in wandering around the black market, and was depressed on the way back.

This is nothing more than seeing the miserable appearance of the same kind, and empathy has committed a crime.

It's good to have a big meal.
