"There are many infected people around the world. Special medicines will be supplied to infected people all over the world. Although the price is not high, it is a long-term business. The profit of 5% is definitely huge. I don't think so. I believe your family will not be tempted.
And even if you, the people in charge who make the decision, are not moved, then are you sure that other members of your family will not be moved either, especially those who have mastered the core cultivation technology of gray lung grass..."
As soon as he said the threatening words with a gun and a stick, the old man's expression changed.
"Are you threatening me?"
"It's not a threat, I'm just stating a fact.
As people move to higher places and water flows to lower places, there will be better opportunities for development. I believe that someone in your family will be tempted. "
Wu Ke replied with a smile.
"The Yan family does not welcome bad guests. Now I ask you to leave, and please never come to the door again."
The old man with black and white wings had a cold face.
"Don't you think about it?"
Wu Ke asked.
"If you come to visit me again next time, I will report it directly to the official government office."
The old man's meaning is very clear. If he doesn't cooperate, he won't be offended.
But if they still want to cause trouble, they are not afraid of it.
But he will bring the matter to the forefront and let the official people in the Yan Kingdom know the situation and handle the matter.
"Okay, I'll take your words as a sign that your family will be on the same page as our northern forces in Ursus."
After drinking the tea in front of him, Wu Ke waved to Amiya next to him to get up and leave without waiting for the two strong men who came in.
"Come on, I'll take you to lunch."
After coming out, Wu Ke took the gray rabbit beside him to a restaurant that smelled good. He ordered two meat and three vegetables, then leaned against the window and looked in the direction of Tongqitang, with a smile on his face. A smile.
"Master SB, how can you still laugh? It seems that our negotiations have failed?"
Amiya couldn't understand this kind of operation at all, and she didn't understand why the other party who wanted to steal technical talents would go in directly and explain the purpose of their visit.
I don’t understand why Wu Ke used some irritating words to irritate the person in charge of Tongqitang during the negotiation after explaining his intention.
"Don't worry, you need to eat first if you're hungry.
After dinner, things are probably almost over. "
"Hey, what's almost done?"
Amiya was a little confused, but Wu Ke didn't explain it to her and let her have lunch in peace.
After Amiya filled her belly, Wu Ke used an aerial swing made of a hanging rope to fly her to a mountainous area about ten kilometers away from the outskirts of Yanguo city.
Through the clouds, Amiya saw a vast basin of gray-green vegetation surrounded by mountains below. She was a little surprised and asked, "That is it?"
"Tongqitang, Yanjia, the main planting place of gray lung grass."
Wu Ke stayed in the clouds and answered Amiya's question.
[No wonder, the spies sent by Tallulah could not find the place. It turns out that the entire planting area is surrounded by mountains. If people from outside want to get in, they must either climb over the steep rock wall or walk up the mountain. The tunnel in the body...]
Wu Ke thought, his eyes had penetrated the tunnel inside the mountain, and the part of the mountain close to the inside had actually been transformed into a place for living.
In the vast planting fields, some people dressed in farm clothes can be vaguely seen. They are like ants working diligently in the fields, fertilizing and watering, or casting some weak Origin Stone spells, but they are taking good care of them. , those herbs that are not yet fully mature.
"Master SB, do we want to go down?"
Amiya asked.
"No, let's go back."
Wu Ke shook his head and flew back with Amiya in the direction of the city he came from.
"Hey, don't you need people and skills?"
A look of confusion appeared on Gray Rabbit's little face. Based on the previous conversation between Wu Ke and the old man of the Yan family, she, who was not an idiot, had already guessed what Wu Ke planned to do, but now the other party's answer made Amiya Some of it is incomprehensible.
"You need people and skills, but you also need to be prepared, right? I am here to confirm the situation. Now that it has been confirmed, of course I want to go back and mobilize the northern spy forces hidden here, and let them come here at night to assist I take whoever I can take away.”
Wu Ke explained, returning to the city faster than the stewards sent by Tongqitang below to arrange for the strengthening of defense and concealment of the gray lung grass planting area.
. . . .
"Sir, everything is arranged.
These days, the frequency of transport trucks coming out of the planting area will be reduced.
And the existing reserve of gray lung grass in our warehouse is enough for us to last for a year and a half.
However, I have never heard of a thousand days to be a thief, but I have never heard of a thousand days to prevent a thief.
I am always being watched and coveted secretly, but there is always no solution..."
The old steward had a worried look on his face after returning from the planting area.
"I know.
The Lord Iron Guard has not left yet. I will visit him tomorrow to explain that the forces in the northern border of Ursus covet the talents and technology of the gray lung grass cultivation area.
As the imperial guard of His Majesty the Emperor, Lord Iron Guard should be able to help us solve the current problem, which is that we need to spend a lot of money. "
The old man surnamed Yan felt a little distressed as he spoke.
That iron guard was known as a man who made money.
Anyone who asks him to do something will usually be killed by the other party.
"Sigh, I don't know why our Emperor wants to ban the export of gray lung grass. The specific medicine for Originium Disease developed by the Ursus Research Institute. If we cooperate with them, it will have great consequences for both our countries. This is a huge benefit, and our family can also get a new, stable enough, long-term supply channel of materials..."
"Be careful!"
The sighing old steward was scolded by the black and white Yiyu old man.
However, in the heart of the old man named Yan, he also agreed with the other party's statement.
It's just that for some things, it's best not to even complain in secret.
. . . .
Over at Tongqitang, when they were discussing how to solve some troubles that might be caused by the Ursus Northern Research Institute, Wu Ke had already summoned the northern spies in this Yan Kingdom city.
A total of thirty-four spies are lurking in this southern city with different identities, but they have already mastered some of the preparation tools and forces that can be mobilized to forcefully recruit technical talents.
"Captain SB, I never thought that I, old John, would be able to meet you again and carry out a robbery together..."
"Not looting."
Wu Ke corrected the mistakes in the words of the man in front of him, and the veteran who had followed him in an operation to obtain supplies six years ago also quickly reacted and nodded as well.
"That's right, it's not robbery, but a just act of helping the poor. I'm really honored. Captain SB, please allow me, Old John, to charge into battle, open warehouses, kidnap people and transport supplies for you!"
The man was holding a charge in his hand and holding a cigar as thick as his thumb in his mouth, but he was talking like a bandit.
"Me too!"
Amiya, who was younger and had a relatively innocent personality, looked at the angry crowd around her, her neck shrunk, and she almost squatted down with her head in her hands, hiding herself in a bunch of bandit-like crowds.
"Okay, needless to say anything else. Obtaining supplies this time is not our fundamental purpose. Recruiting righteous and ambitious technical talents is the key point. Once we arrive at the location, everything will be under my command. Now, let's all set off. !”
"Amiya, what are you doing? Get in the car quickly."
Wu Ke took the lead and walked onto a transport vehicle. When he found that the gray rabbit girl behind him was still standing there, he reached out and lifted Amu Ya into the vehicle.
. . . .
The convoy split out of the city and regrouped outside the wilderness. When they arrived at Tongqitang, the mountain area where medicinal herbs are grown, it was the early morning of this world. The mountain forests under the moonlit night seemed quiet and deep.
After taking a picture of a hand-drawn map to Amiya, Wu Ke said to the convoy of spies who were following him: "I will go first, and you will follow behind. I will see people and control them along the way, but don't let anyone have the opportunity to spread the news here. Delay The longer it takes, the more people can be recruited, and the safer it will be when taken away."
The spies didn't hesitate, they all nodded. After Wu Ke said to Amiya, "Look at the map and find the points marked on it to control the person I knocked unconscious," his figure flashed into the quiet mountains. In the dense forest.
Amiya wanted to cry. She had never done such a night raid before, but after a group of gangster spies came over, this timid little rabbit could only hold on. My scalp is dry.
"Well, there is a monitoring point on the right, and an observation tree house on the left..."
Under the leadership of Amiya, a group of people followed Wu Ke and moved forward quickly. Every time they found a warning and defense point around the planting site, they tied up the guards one by one. None of these people Except, all of them were knocked unconscious.
"Captain SB, today's silent stealth night attack technology is even more advanced than back then."
"Yes, yes, especially the speed at which we can solve the guard points. We were able to help a little in the past, but now we are completely in the background..."
The voices of two veterans who had transferred to the Northern Territory, lamenting the past and lamenting the present, left Amiya completely speechless.
The actual impression given to her by the legendary patron saint of Ursus in the North was different from the perfect image she sometimes imagined before meeting him.
Fortunately, Amiya only respected the other party after hearing the story, and was not like some northerners in Ursus who would worship the other party as a belief. Otherwise, after seeing the other party's true condition, it might be possible. Something happened that shattered faith...
. . . .
"Damn it, Mother Ganta, I finally took the vacation and it's gone."
In the living area, a group of men with swallow characteristics were playing cards. One of the men was unlucky and lost the cards. He was in a bad mood and began to curse. In the afternoon, the plantation management office issued a notice of no vacation.
"Hey, Lao Shui, be careful if the administrator hears it, your salary will be deducted."
Another shirtless man who won the card said teasingly.
"If you like it, let him take it. You can't get out of the plantation. Money is of no use here and you can't buy anything."
Yan Shui is an ordinary member of the Yan family. Because of his talent for Origin Stone magic, he applied to become an herb grower at Tongqitang Plantation.
Originally, this time he had saved enough money to buy a house and get married. He planned to take advantage of his vacation time to go back on a blind date and find a good girl to get married.
As a result, after a piece of paper was issued by the plantation management office, not only was the holiday ruined, but no one could leave the plantation for the time being.
"There is no money for the closed vacation. Tongqitang only provides food and accommodation. If there was no supervisor to whip us, I would have thought that we were slaves in the plantation, ha, ha ha..."
A young man who had just come here to work as a planter spoke. He originally wanted to make a joke to liven up the atmosphere, but after his words came out, some of the older planters fell silent.
"Uncle Shan, everyone, what's wrong with you?"
"Gua Wazi, you are also lucky. You were not born more than forty years ago. If you were born more than forty years ago, you would really be a slave working here, or you may have violated serious clan rules. The exiled Yan family."
"Eh?"
"If you don't believe it, go dig in the wasteland in the south. I guarantee you can still dig up the bones of those slaves who died from overwork in the wasteland."
The old planters told bloody stories about the past planting areas, which made the scalps of the young planters who did not know these historical truths feel numb and their backs even more chilly.
"But this is all in the past. After slavery was abolished, the planting areas here have undergone great changes. Today they are all planted with hired workers."
After the old planter finished speaking, he comforted the young people around him.
"However, having said that, it is actually not much different from paying to rent a group of coolies who are not called slaves to work.
Using the Origin Stone spell of growing Gray Lung Grass multiple times will give us a higher chance of contracting Origin Stone Disease. Compared with this risk, the monthly salary we can get is just less than working in an ordinary factory. There are slightly more people..."
The words of another middle-aged planter are very practical.
Tongqitang is a family-style capital group, and its exploitation of workers is the same as other capital groups. There is no difference.
This group will pursue profits. Since it was previously unable to increase the market size and increase the selling price of Brassica striata, the easiest way to pursue more profits is to reduce the cost of growing Brassica striata.
"What's the use of saying this? Can we go to work elsewhere?"
This is impossible. The business of gray lung grass has already been almost monopolized by Tongqitang.
If there weren't certain requirements for planting work, the wages would be too low and no one would be willing to do it.
It is unbelievable that the wages of these planters have long been reduced to an extremely low level.
If you want to make more money through the art of growing gray lung grass, Tongqitang is the only choice.
There are people among planters who are good at settling accounts.
However, even if you know that your efforts are not proportional to your gains, what can you do?
Tongqitang provides the only platform on which it has no competitors.
"boom!"
Just when the planters in the card playing area were somewhat silent.
The big stone door in the living area was violently kicked open.
A large number of pneumocystis planters who had dinner and were doing some entertainment activities in the living area heard the sound and looked towards the door, and saw a man walking in carrying a sign.
"Beijing Medical Research Institute is recruiting people online away from home, with five insurances and one housing fund, and favorable treatment. Starting from three times the original salary of Tongqitang..."
