Be a Lord in the World of Black Beasts

"What do you mean?" Winston looked at the map and asked strangely.

"I have divided each area, and each businessman can obtain the exclusive sales rights of drugs in these areas through bidding."

This is an interesting proposal. Although it will cost a lot of money to obtain these areas through bidding, it will not be a small amount of money if it is used to reduce the price.

Thinking about it this way, the eyes of all the businessmen looking at Yi Cheng became incredulous, which is almost equivalent to taking all the money from the price reduction to the consumers in their own hands.

A rather cunning, wise man.

"However, how can you ensure that only those who have obtained the sales will be sold in this part of the area you have divided?" It was also a question from a small businessman.

"If someone enters the divided area without your consent, you can report it to me. If the situation is true, I will stop the supply of goods to him."

Yi Cheng's words shocked everyone.

The eyes of big businessmen and small businessmen alike are shining.The big merchants think they can eat all the regions, and the small merchants think that they finally have a place to live.

The bidding started, and Yi Cheng announced a rule in advance.

"Although you have won the competition for each area, it does not mean that you have obtained permanent sales rights. There is a wave of re-bidding for each area's sales rights every year."

"Isn't this a little too complicated?" A businessman suggested.

"No, I think this proposal is very necessary." Winston voiced his support for Yi Cheng's opinion.

If we follow Yicheng's method, it is equivalent to having an opportunity to reshuffle the cards every year, and those with a poor sales share can have sales rights in better regions.

At the same time, it can also annex some other areas.

In fact, Yi Cheng also thinks this way, it is impossible for him to give preferential treatment to these small businessmen all the time, and they are not related to him.

If after a period of time, they still can't survive in the mouths of big businessmen, then there is no need for them to exist.

Similarly, this is also an opportunity for small businessmen to obtain greater capital, and of course it is also an opportunity for Yicheng.

If it succeeds this time, then Yicheng will gradually gain a certain prestige and power in the business world, with the continuous export of Yicheng capital in the future.

Yicheng's status as a business giant will be established, which is equivalent to seizing the economic lifeline of the mainland. This will have a great effect on the development of Yicheng's territory and its future expansion.

Finally, the bidding began. The nearest second fortress, first fortress, and fifth fortress were all controlled by several big businessmen, and the remaining few fortresses were all taken down.

However, the prices of these fortresses are not as high as those of the previous fortresses, because the distance is relatively long, the road is more dangerous, and the cost of transportation is too high.

But even so, it is impossible for the big merchants to abandon these sites.

After taking on the extra rent and sales funds of these large cities, the control of the big merchants over the small cities is not as strong as expected.

Small merchants got the opportunity to bid for sales qualifications in cities that are not so large in scale.

Although the living population of these small cities may not be very large, the consumption power of a city is still very considerable.

Moreover, Yi Cheng also showed medicines that are far more than just Billy King, as well as other commonly used medicines that can treat colds and fevers.

These are all heavy gold coins, and the eyes of the merchants are red.

No one would easily let themselves die, and in this world, the medical environment is extremely backward, and a high fever may kill a person.

It's just a few silver coins, no one will be reluctant to part with this money.

Seeing the merchants scrambling to place orders, Yi Cheng showed a satisfied smile. Investing in talent and technology at any time is a sure-fire business.

The pharmaceutical technology in Guduo's hands is a huge asset. Of course, Guduo doesn't have many orc prescriptions, and Yi Cheng still needs more orcs to work for him.

So the merchants returned with a full load, taking away jars of various pills, shiny armors, and swords, leaving behind piles of grain and ores.

Of course, there are nearly four to five thousand gold coins in total.

This is the beginning of capital accumulation, and it is also a big step for Yicheng to officially enter the world!

Yi Cheng bought all the slaves with blacksmith skills from the merchant who bought and sold slaves before, and they were proficient in making steel and making weapons and equipment.

At first, the blacksmiths just thought that they had changed their masters, and their future life would still be as miserable as before, working for their masters every day.

Living a life of only black bread and cold water every day, he worked hard in front of the iron stove until he finally died in front of the iron stove.

However, the young master in front of them didn't just give them a whip warning, but kindly asked his subordinates to remove all the chains from his hands.

The blacksmiths were at a loss because they didn't know what the young man in front of them meant.

Until Yi Cheng told them that they would become members of the village from today onwards, and that if they behaved well, they could be freed, the faces of the blacksmiths who had experienced many vicissitudes finally changed.

Chapter 96 Progress

A glimmer of light in the darkness, if it were you, would you try your best to pursue it?

The blacksmiths didn't know whether they should believe it or not, but human beings' longing for beauty still made them choose to believe it. The steaming food seemed to give them a reason to believe it.

With the joining of a group of blacksmiths, Yi Cheng finally breathed a sigh of relief. It is impossible for industrial construction to rely on him to fight alone. What he needs is a whole team.

Because the blacksmiths joined relatively late, all the apartments in the village were divided, and the five dwarf sisters went to make iron blast furnaces after the construction of the village was completed.

Therefore, Yi Cheng could only temporarily allocate two separate houses for this group of blacksmiths to temporarily live in. There were 20 of them in total, and ten people had an independent house, which was just right.

Yi Cheng doesn't know much about ironmaking, these are not within his liking, the only thing he understands is the method of electric furnace ironmaking.

But now there is no electricity in Yicheng, even if there is electricity, there is no copper to make wires, and the method of electric furnace iron smelting is too advanced for the time being.

The way of iron smelting by indigenous methods is too rough, and the iron smelted is pig iron, which requires blacksmiths to beat repeatedly for a long time before it can be turned into wrought iron.

When Yi Cheng was worried, it was the five dwarf sisters who stepped forward to solve Yi Cheng's problem. The elder sister said that the dwarves are best at making iron.

Yi Cheng thought about it, what a mother!I have always been a dwarf who can do construction, but I have neglected that dwarves are also good at smelting and forging.

This is the rhythm of guarding Jinshan and being starved to death.

After regaining his senses, Yi Cheng immediately handed over the task of building the iron-making blast furnace to the five dwarf sisters. This happened to be their strong point. With the participation of this group of blacksmiths, the progress in iron-making will surely improve by leaps and bounds.

But before Yi Cheng brought back the two dwarves again, let them continue to lead the construction workers in the construction.

Yi Cheng's next goal is to build a school, a hospital, and a training ground for training soldiers.

Now the villagers are divided into different batches to study, and each batch of people will continue to study for a week, and then change to another batch.

Those who are qualified will go to the next age, and at the same time have the opportunity to serve as clerical or management positions at work, and those who are unqualified will stay and continue their studies.

In order to improve the enthusiasm of the villagers in learning, Yicheng will also give certain subsidies to the staff of different ages, from the first grade to the sixth grade.

The weekly subsidy is two coppers, four coppers, eight coppers, sixteen coppers, 32 coppers, and currently the highest grade is 64 coppers.

This is a windfall, and almost no one would refuse it foolishly. Under the temptation of money, every villager is studying hard.

Of course, Yicheng did not reject capable people. In addition to different degrees, Yicheng also set ratings for different types of jobs.

The more people who know it, the higher the score, and the higher the corresponding rating, and the income will naturally rise, if the degree subsidy is added.

Then it is not a delusion that the villagers will be able to earn one gold coin every month in the future, just take the richest group of carpenters in the village as an example.

Since the sales of furniture have increased, the income of ordinary carpenters is almost several times that of ordinary workers, and the monthly salary of others is almost three silver coins.

And now the lowest apprentice salary of carpenters is six silver coins, and the highest wages for two elders, Gabriel and Juhak, are close to thirty silver coins a month.

Carpenter is currently the most profitable type of work in the village, followed by those in the brick kiln. Because it is manual work, Yi Cheng also pays high wages.

As Yi Cheng's income continued to increase, their salary was about five silver coins, which was a little lower than that of carpenters.

However, the most promising ones should be these confused blacksmiths who just joined the group. Gabriel and Yuhak are old and cunning, with extremely vicious eyes.

The two originally planned to follow Yi Cheng to learn mechanical manufacturing, but now that the blacksmiths came, they simply went to work as blacksmiths, and gave up their original job as a head carpenter who paid [-] silver coins a month.

This Coke ruined the people under them, and the rest of the villagers were also discussing whether the two of them had broken their heads and gave up such high-paying jobs.

At first, their family members didn't understand. Gabriel and Yuhak always laughed it off without explaining too much.

In their view, although the carpenter's income is high, there is no prospect. The apex of a lifetime seems to be thirty silver coins, but the mechanical industry mentioned in this village made them see the way.

Now the two follow the blacksmiths to learn from the simplest, step by step to understand the production process of steel and how to judge the quality of steel.

Yi Cheng would spare two hours to study every day, but he didn't go to the church with the villagers to attend classes. Yi Cheng was corrupt enough.

He has a special teacher, that is the baby Sherlock, even though Sherlock looks like a girl with low IQ, she is also a magician after all.

As long as you are a magician, you must be able to read, otherwise how can you read the scroll?

In fact, Sherlock's knowledge is very rich, which is inversely proportional to her IQ. One can imagine how knowledgeable she is.

So Yicheng would always bring Chloe and Guduo over to enjoy individual teaching when the time came every day. Sherlock refused at first, you can't just be a teacher if you let me be a teacher.

First, I am an intermediate magician, and I want to be respected. I can use very powerful magic with a single "duang", although I still can't...

Sherlock blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah, but in the end he couldn't stand up to Yi Cheng's coercion, and under the means of carrots and sticks, Sherlock could only agree.

Sherlock was still reluctant at first, but since Yi Cheng gave Sherlock two sets of beautiful clothes, Sherlock agreed without saying a word.

This is a combination of several clothes, a white shirt inside, a small black and blue slim vest outside, and a small skirt that wraps tightly around the hips.

Finally put on the black stockings, Sherlock felt that he was so beautiful, and his IQ seemed to be +1+1+1+1. Whenever he was going to teach, Sherlock would change into this suit. I can't bear to wear it.

Moreover, Yicheng also equipped Sherlock with a new house. In view of Sherlock's importance to his industrialization, Yicheng specially approved Sherlock to have an independent house.

Sherlock simply chose the one next to Yicheng's house, because Sherlock's house has not been renovated yet, and she plans to come to Yicheng's house to sleep every night before the decoration is completed.

Of course, it is definitely impossible to let Yi Cheng know, otherwise there will be no chance. Sherlock likes the sofa in Yi Cheng's house with a fireplace, it is very warm.

Chapter 97 Layoffs

Everyone is studying, and everyone does not want to fall behind. The atmosphere of learning in the village is in full swing, and everyone has a smile on their faces.

After Yi Cheng's usual study time every day, he began to think about the next things to do in the village.

Now the village needs iron mines, coal mines, and oil, as well as Yicheng's most important sulfur mines and saltpeter.

In front of Yi Cheng's village is a boundless mountain. The mountain has always been a place of production of various minerals. It stands to reason that if a certain amount of manpower can be invested, then the minerals that are lacking should be able to be obtained.

"Ah, by the way, there don't seem to be any small shops in our village. It's the kind of shop that sells bread. I don't think it's very lively."

After Sherlock completed Yi Cheng's teaching task, he lay down on the sofa bored. Although the Shengguang persimmons were delicious, he also wanted to try other things.

Sherlock remembered that there was that kind of grilled fish in Rose Town, a few copper coins, about the size of a middle finger, sprinkled with salt, and tasted so good, I would buy one when I was hungry.

"Small shop..." Sherlock's words reminded Yi Cheng that almost everyone in the village is now working for him, but this is not destined to be a good way out.
