I really don't want to hang up

Chapter 155 Farming, fighting, reading, enjoying happiness

After the shadow at the end of the alley disappeared, the voice returned to this world.

The streets were filled with people again.

Luden put away the medicine box and sighed softly.

What a bad manners guy, he forgot all the manners he taught her back then.

Lu Deng didn't go to the alley to chase the shadow. He knew that even if he chased it by himself, he would not be able to catch up.

Luden respected the queen's choice.

He returned to the small building and washed up briefly.

Even if it was the supper sent by the Palace of Greed, Lu Deng didn't have much appetite.

He asked Awu and Spartak to share a midnight snack, and he went upstairs early to get ready to rest.

As soon as he entered the house and closed the door, Luden heard movement behind him.

"I thought about it."

Lu Deng was hugged from behind, and a gust of warm wind blew past his earlobe, scratching his heartstrings.

She whispered in her ear,
"Still come up and sit down."

I can't rest tonight.

Last night, Xiaolou was busy.

In the early morning, Awu finished his morning training,
It happened that a carriage stopped in front of the small building, and Al got off the carriage.

Au was stunned for a moment.

Is Miss Al not upstairs?
Who was that last night?

Awu didn't have time to think about it.

It doesn't matter who is upstairs, the important thing is that Miss Al can't be allowed to go upstairs now!
If hit.
hiss--

A Wu dare not think!
He quickly greeted him, and asked politely and measuredly,
"Miss Ayer, last time I said spice"

spices?

Al was stunned for a moment, frowning, completely unimpressed by this matter.

However, Luden often prostituted the supplies of the Senate for free, such as spices, and he never refused.

Okay, it's very Luden.

Awu is very honest, since he said yes, he probably forgot.

Al didn't want to ruin his day because of the spices.

"Forget it, I'll go back to the Senate to get it."

Anyway, no trouble.

For things like spices, without the presence of the elders in person, it is difficult to go for nothing.

Al got into the carriage again and disappeared around the corner.

Until the carriage completely disappeared, Awu slowly returned to the hut and closed the door.

He ran upstairs in a hurry, came outside the room, knocked on the door lightly, and shouted at the top of his voice,

"Mr. Luden, Miss Ayer will send you the spices later."

"Anything like this?"

Luden opened the door, with sleepy eyes, yawned and walked out of the room.

Awu glanced into the room, a little surprised.

There was no one in the room, but the bed was a little messy.

What about people?

gone?

Did I hear wrong last night?
These questions, the young Awu certainly cannot get the answers.

However, A Wu quickly let go of this matter, no longer entangled.

Because something more important happened.

A Wu was surprised to find that Mr. Luden seemed to be different from before?

After breakfast, Luden took Awu and Al to the mine.

Luden adjusted the production plan, lowered the rewards, and even strictly required the working hours of the workers.

Anyone who dares to work overtime without permission will be punished severely!
At the same time, Luden also raised the price of steel on the grounds of protecting the health of miners and rising costs.

The greedy black hole that devoured everything suddenly slowed down!

Not only that, but even the first phase of the water pipe replacement project that Luden had obtained was proposed by him. Due to limited production capacity, he suggested extending the construction period and cutting the budget.

The Palace of Greed readily agreed.

Even the elders in the Senate can see Mr. Luden's transformation!

Tribune Luden, with his smile, has won the respect and love of all!

Work in the mine and become the best place for commoners in Shenbang!

There are high base salary, excessive rewards, strict but humane management system.
After working in the mine for a year, the miso saved is enough to buy a small piece of land outside the city!

Not only that, Mr. Luden is also the best employer:
Do thirteen days off!

Anyone who works for thirteen consecutive days must take a mandatory day off!
Of course, no wages will be paid on the rest day.

But full attendance will not stop!
Shenbang couldn't find a better employer than Mr. Luden.

In addition to the mine, Luden also opened a lot of new kitchen utensils stores.

He divides iron kitchen utensils of different qualities into different price points, and accurately harvests different groups of people!

On the one hand, the dangers of lead pots were hyped up in newspapers to popularize science on how dangerous this metal is.

On the other hand, newspapers promote certain brands of knives and pots, and compile various slogans.

The advertisement showed Shenbang its charm for the first time.

Some kitchen utensils are luxury goods, and only ten sets are produced each year. They are symbols of identity, status, and financial resources, and are endowed with special meanings.

If you want to buy, you need to book a schedule, and you must buy a whole set at a time!

The luxury kitchenware store was decorated by Lu Deng to be comparable to the Senate.

In just one morning, ten sets of kitchen utensils were sold out!
The elders who failed to grab the kitchen utensils were so outraged that they almost pointed at Lu Deng and scolded him.

Fortunately, Luden quickly hinted to the other party that he could write some articles and plays praising the Senate.

Only then did the elders leave contentedly.

In fact, readers love to read these things too.

It's just that readers take this kind of stuff as a joke, and it's best to read it when going to the toilet.

In addition to luxury kitchen utensils, Luden has also developed [Light Luxury] kitchen utensils, [Youth Edition] kitchen utensils, and [King of Cost-effective] kitchen utensils.
In terms of selling iron pots, it can be regarded as letting Lu Deng understand.

However, Luden soon received a joint warning from the Palace of War, the Palace of Slashing and the Palace of Greed.

The slash palace asked Luden to sell steel products at a higher price.

Productivity tools cannot be priced too low.

Once this is done, the farmers' farming profits will be high!

They have too much spare money and the harvest is so good that they will buy more land
Shenbang does not need more landlords.

Who are farming, who are fighting, who are studying, and who are enjoying life.

Everything is clearly arranged in Shenbang.

These guys are good at farming honestly. When the orcs attacked, the lords showed mercy and asked them to hand over all their wealth, hide in the kingdom of God, and leave a life.

When the situation stabilizes, these penniless people will work hard to farm the fields to prepare for the next orc attack.

Isn't this how Shenbang has come here for the past eight hundred years?

Faced with the order from the Slash Hall, Lu Deng had no choice but to raise the price.

At the same time, the Palace of Greed and the Palace of War banned Luden from producing and selling kitchen knives.

There is no way, Luden's cost is too low, his kitchen knives can make a profit at any price.

And kitchen knives are not small in this era.

This leads to certain absurd things playing out in this land.

When the Shenbang Legion was conquering foreign countries, they were surprised to find:

Their enemies - the weapons wielded by the warriors in the rich town turned out to be kitchen knives from the Kingdom of God!

Relying on these kitchen knives, the opponent caused a lot of casualties to the Shenbang Legion!
After this incident was reported to the Kingdom of God, the Senate was furious!
The Inquisition Office investigated for half a month and sent all the gangs who smuggled kitchen knives to the gallows!
In this era, smuggling arms, even kitchen knives, is a capital offense!
It's just that the profit is too high.

A kitchen knife, in Shenbang, Luden only sells it for 10 meters.

If you transport the kitchen knife to a peninsula 500 miles away, you can easily sell it for 150 meters!
For a while, kitchen knives became the most popular commodity on the smuggling business.

Fortunately, Mr. Loudon, the tribune, stood firm and did not intervene in this dirty business.

As for why Luden didn't do this.
Quite simply, the profit is not enough.

That's right, although the gross profit is 1400%.

However, considering the cost of the caravan, the cost after the smuggling is discovered, the payback period, and the input-output ratio.
Luden felt that this profit was not worth the risk.

Those guys from the Inquisition House probably want to hang themselves to death in their dreams, right?
Luden couldn't give them this chance!
What's more, Luden has better business to invest in:

pang.

In nearly half a year, Pang Ge's army beat up all the dissatisfied forces around them.

Every time he wins a battle, Pangge will 'scrap' a large number of weapons and armors, and place new orders to Lu Deng.

This is a very common thing, and no one can fault it.

After a battle, elite fighters usually cut down one or two weapons.

In the past, these weapons would be recovered, transported to the rear, and someone would be responsible for maintenance.

but,

The times have changed.

Now there is a strange phenomenon in Shenbang:

Rather than repairing a broken sword, it is better to buy a new one directly!
The latter costs less!
Therefore, a large amount of equipment was scrapped and new equipment was shipped to the front.

The scrapped equipment was recycled by Lu Deng at the price of scrap iron, and returned to the furnace for recasting to further reduce the cost.

Everything is going in a good direction!

Apart from the business of the mine, Luden obviously did not forget his responsibility as a tribune.

With his own money, he opened twenty schools in Shenbang!
In these schools, quasi-scholars and scholars are in charge of teaching, teaching children literacy, reading, and sacred codes.
And these schools are all free!
Luden doesn't charge a penny for doing these things!

Commoners, citizens, and even holy descendants can all learn in the school!

In private, Luden even opened a school for slaves.

Although he can't understand slavery, slaves are still useful at certain times.

What's more, if Luden wants to solve slavery, he must not only start from the outside, but also let the slaves have self-awareness awakening.

Teaching them literacy is the easiest way!

Seeing Mr. Luden's actions, Spartak became more and more silent day by day.

No one knows what the strongest gladiator in the Kingdom of God is thinking.

Awu only knew that when facing Mr. Luden, Mr. Spartak's attitude became more and more respectful, even worshipful.
Time flies, and several months have passed.

Luden visits the Palace of Greed again.

"What are you going to do again?"

Judge Gured looked at Luden warily, like guarding against wolves.

Compared with a few months ago, Justice Gured lost more than two laps!

His obesity stems more from his self-abandonment, turning greed into appetite.

When the greed that had nowhere to rest finally came into play again, Judge Gured naturally regained his fighting spirit.

He knows very well how lucky he is compared to his predecessors!

Lu Deng took a sip of the wine and said leisurely,

"You can talk about it after reading the proposal."

Judge Gured opened the bill, and a line of words came into view:

"Application for the establishment of Shenbang Fubao Insurance Company"
