In the evening, after eating the meal cooked by his sister Suo Ningbing, he took a comfortable bath and changed into comfortable silk pajamas. He sat in front of the simple table and used a graphite sharpened pen to write on a piece of white paper.
The candles in this world were relatively expensive, but Søren lit ten candles to ensure that there was enough light.
Tonight, he also ate expensive venison, fish, and so on.
Even in such a difficult situation, he would not deliberately be thrifty, nor would he share the hardships with his subordinates.
Even the bottle of wine in front of him now cost five silver coins.
Suo Ningbing quietly walked in and brought over the lotus seed soup. Then, taking advantage of the moment when Søren paused, she used her small hands to massage his temples. Her beautiful eyes fell on the drawings that Søren had drawn.
"What is this?" Suo Ningbing asked.
"The pool that the president paid for with gold coins," Søren said.
"Liar," Suo Ningbing said coquettishly.
Søren reached behind and hugged Suo Ningbing's soft waist. It was smooth and slender, soft as if there were no bones in it. After a slight hesitation, his hands slid down slightly and placed on Suo Ningbing's bouncy and wonderful place.
Suo Ningbing trembled slightly and said, "You are getting more and more daring and naughty."
Søren's hand rested on her waist and gently rubbed it. Then, he leaned back slightly and leaned on Ning Bing's soft chest.
"I didn't lie to you, right? Gui Qinshao is very beautiful, right?" Suo Ningbing asked.
"Yes, no wonder the royal family doesn't dare to marry her," Søren said, "Once this kind of woman is brought out, she will almost become the public enemy of all men. Marrying this kind of woman will immediately give people the impression that she is lustful. "
"Then, are you moved?" Suo Ningbing asked with some jealousy.
"The bird moves, but the heart doesn't …" Søren said.
Before he could finish, Suo Ningbing gently pinched him. First, it was a light pinch, then a hard pinch.
"Scoundrel, don't say such indecent words," Suo Ningbing said angrily.
Søren's hand on her buttocks suddenly tightened, and Suo Ningbing's delicate body trembled violently, almost unable to stand. Then, Søren gently pulled Suo Ningbing's soft buttocks onto his lap, and then looked at her beautiful face.
Suo Ningbing's face was flushed, and she was nervous. She panted and begged, "Don't do this, don't do this, it will be terrible if someone sees it."
Søren didn't take any further action. He just let her sit on his lap. He held her waist with one hand and continued writing and drawing with the other.
Smelling the enchanting fragrance on her body and feeling her soft and delicate body, Søren was fully focused on his work, and his speed was very fast.
As for Suo Ningbing, it was as if she was on fire. She looked outside anxiously, afraid that someone would come in. However, her whole heart was soft and sweet, as if it was about to melt.
"Master, where's Miss … She's dying." At this moment, Ye Jingyu walked in from outside. Seeing the scene in front of her, she was stunned, and then secretly spat.
This master was getting more and more daring. He was actually so openly intimate with Miss. If it was seen by a fourth person, it would be terrible.
Previously, when Søren was in love with Suo Ningbing, Ye Jingyu would even give a warning. But now, she would no longer disobey Søren's orders.
Then, she would stand guard outside to prevent a second person from rushing in recklessly.
After a full two hours, Søren roughly finished drawing the blueprints.
These blueprints were the key to earning 150,000 gold coins.
…
After finishing his work, Søren opened a box at the side and took out a pile of portraits.
These were all portraits of Søren's women. Søren took out Gui Qinshao's portrait.
Søren's drawing skills were not bad, but his freehand style was still not enough to draw Gui Qinshao's beauty.
Gui Qinshao herself was really much more beautiful than the portrait. To be honest, even in the movies on Earth, Soran had never seen a woman as gorgeous as Gui Qinshao. She was so beautiful that people could not open their eyes. She was so dazzling.
After taking a quick look, Søren then put Gui Qinshao's portrait on the candle and lit it up.
Then, he watched as the flame engulfed Gui Qinshao's portrait on the scroll and finally turned into ashes.
When he burned Gui Qinshao's portrait, Søren looked very calm, but Suo Ningbing's heart trembled.
Then, Søren found Zhi Ning's portrait, lit it on the candle and burned it to ashes.
Previously, Suo Ningbing told him that there were three women that he had to pay special attention to: Zhi Ning, Gui Qinshao, and Yan Nair.
Now, the portraits of the first two women had been burned by Søren, which meant that in Søren's heart, these two women were already enemies. Of the three important women, only Yan Nair was left.
Søren found Yan Nair's portrait from the pile of portraits and looked at it carefully.
Although it was a freehand portrait and not very lifelike, Søren could still see the woman's temperament.
There was a very contradictory quality in her body. Her face was exquisite, like a porcelain doll. However, he was also very serious, and even cold as ice.
A frosty temperament was usually matched with a slim and slender figure.
But Yan Nair's figure was very … bold. Although she dressed conservatively, her figure was too plump, completely like a meat ball. Even in the freehand portrait, Søren could feel the woman's plump and delicate body.
This was the woman that Søren chased the hardest, and also the woman that left the deepest impression.
"Sister, what kind of person is this Yan Nair?" Søren asked.
Suo Ningbing thought for a while and said, "She's a very stubborn, very serious, and very serious girl. She looks as cold as ice on the outside, but her heart is very passionate. She's not very good at expressing her feelings and is very conservative. Although she loves Søren very much, she doesn't even let him hold hands before they get married."
Then, Suo Ningbing said, "I like her very, very much. If it wasn't for the fact that Søren and Gui Qinshao were already engaged, I really wanted Søren to marry her."
Søren said, "How's her martial arts?"
Suo Ningbing said, "Very, very high."
Søren said, "How could such an outstanding girl be pursued by that prodigal Søren?"
Suo Ningbing said, "Søren is so thick-skinned. Yan Nair looks as cold as ice on the outside, and no one dares to get close to her, but in fact, her heart is very passionate and pure. That's why she was deceived by that b * stard Søren."
Not only was she deceived, she was heartbroken.
Yan Nair was extremely annoyed with Søren at first, and even used violent means to beat up Søren until he wailed like a ghost and howled like a wolf. But a strong woman was afraid of a pestering man, and in addition, Søren's pretty face was earth-shatteringly beautiful.
Over time, under Søren's persistent pestering, Yan Nair, this pure girl, completely fell for him. Even though she knew that Søren was a good-for-nothing prodigal, she still fell in love with him.
In order to be with Søren, Yan Nair almost cut off all ties with her father, and Søren became her only spiritual support.
However, he had only been dating Yan Nair for half a year. Perhaps it was because the other party refused to let him touch her, or perhaps Yan Nair's infatuation made Søren feel guilty.
In any case, Søren had fallen in love with someone else.
When Yan Nair heard that Søren was pursuing Princess Zhi Ning, she first felt as if she had been struck by lightning. Then, she rushed into the Royal City College and held a sword against Søren's neck, forcing Søren to marry her immediately.
A prideful and pure girl, a beautiful girl who was regarded as the dream lover of countless men, a girl who was extremely skilled in martial arts, actually held a sword to force Søren to marry her. On the surface, it seemed that she was forcing Søren, but in fact, she was throwing her dignity to the ground and letting Søren trample on it.
Even so, Søren insisted on breaking up with her, and turned around to pursue Princess Zhi Ning.
One could imagine how heartbroken Yan Nair was at that time. After breaking up, she disappeared from Royal City.
And her uncle, Yan Nu, almost directly rushed from Tianshui City to Royal City to kill Søren.
That's right, it was that Yan Nu. The number one expert under the Suo Clan, the master of Suo Hanyi.
Yan Nair's father, Yan Yan, was more skilled in martial arts than Yan Nu, but he was free by nature and was unwilling to be restrained. Therefore, he did not become a member of the royal family or the feudal lords, but led a mercenary team and fought everywhere.
Yan Nair inherited her father's martial arts talent. At a very young age, her martial arts was very high. And since childhood, she followed her father to fight everywhere. Even though she was a girl, and an unparalleled beauty at that, her father raised her as a boy, which also shaped her special character.
It could be said that if it wasn't for her special growing environment, such an outstanding and beautiful girl like her would not be able to be pursued by a prodigal like Søren.
"What a poor girl. Now that her uncle Yan Nu has died in the hands of Suo Hanyi, I wonder if she knows?" Søren said.
Suo Ningbing looked at him and said, "Little brother, are you going to look for her?"
Søren nodded and said, "Her father, Silver Wolf, leads an incomparably powerful mercenary team, no less than two thousand people. I need this team to become the seeds of the Suo Clan's army. "
Silver Wolf Yan Yan was probably a legendary figure in the mercenary world.
He was highly skilled in martial arts and extremely talented. At the age of twenty-five, he advanced to a Dragon Warrior.
At that time, not only the feudal lords, but even the royal family treated him with high positions and generous salaries. Glory, splendor, and wealth were all at his fingertips.
However, he abandoned these high-ranking officials and nobles like they were worn out shoes, and turned around to become a mercenary.
In the mercenary world, he fought for decades and traveled all over the world. He fought with the barbarian army, fought with the Western Liang Kingdom, and fought with the powerful beast tide army.
He was experienced in hundreds of battles and was almost invincible. For thirty years, he led the Silver Wolf Mercenary Team and became one of the strongest mercenary organizations in the world. As for himself, he became a legend in the mercenary world.
Suo Ningbing said worriedly, "Søren once hurt Yan Nair like this. I'm afraid that her father … I'm afraid that the moment he sees you, he will fly into a rage."
Not only will he fly into a rage, he will definitely draw his sword and kill.
When Yan Nair and Søren were dating, how opposed was Silver Wolf Yan Yan? How could he allow his daughter to be with a scum like Søren?
But once a girl falls in love, her IQ will directly drop, just like water that has been poured out.
In order to be with Søren, Yan Nair directly fell out with her father Yan Yan. Yan Yan directly said that if she followed this bastard, she would not recognize him as her father.
As a result, Yan Nair really had to quit the Silver Wolf Mercenary Team and stay in Royal City, by Søren's side.
Yan Yan, who was heartbroken by his daughter, returned to the Silver Wolf Mercenary Team at the border without looking back.
Yan Nair was so infatuated that she threw away a girl's dignity and modesty, and even fell out with her father Yan Yan. In the end, she was abandoned by Søren.
Now, you, Søren, have nowhere else to go, and you want to turn around and beg me? You even have ideas about my mercenary team, do you still have any shame?
At this time, if it was anyone else, the first moment they saw Søren, they would probably draw their sword and cut him into a thousand pieces.
Søren asked, "After Yan Nair left Royal City, did she go to her father's Silver Wolf Mercenary Team?"
Suo Ningbing shook her head and said, "I don't know, but it should be. Other than her father, she has nowhere else to go."
Søren looked at Yan Nair's portrait and said, "Søren really deserves to be cut into pieces. He actually had the heart to hurt such a cute and innocent girl. This bastard is not worthy of her."
Suo Ningbing said softly, "But you are worthy of her. Bring her back, and then bring her father's army back."
"Aren't you jealous?" Søren smiled.
Suo Ningbing's expression darkened, "You, you can't really marry me after all."
"Who said so?" Søren said resolutely, "I will definitely marry you, and I will restore my original identity, and only marry you."
Suo Ningbing's beautiful face flushed with happiness, then she fiercely rolled her eyes and said, "You can say it, but do you need to do it? And with so much force? "
Søren found that when he said this, his hand was placed in a place where it shouldn't be, and he even clenched it hard.
Then, Suo Ningbing said reluctantly, "When are you going to find Yan Nair and fight for her father's army?"
Søren said, "When the basic construction here is finished, and the plan to earn 150,000 gold coins has become a foregone conclusion, and I have at least 30,000 gold coins in my hand, then I will immediately set off."
…
The next day, the hall of the small castle was full of people.
Not only the warriors of the Suo clan were present, but also the leaders of the more than one thousand slaves were also present.
Today, Søren was going to officially announce the miracle plan to earn 150,000 gold coins.
Suo Mu's eyes were red. He didn't sleep well last night because he really didn't know how to earn 150,000 gold coins in this barren land in less than half a year.
He thought over and over again, but there was no clue.
What was the most profitable thing in this world? Of course, it was gold and silver mines. Slaves and prisoners of war were used to mine, and after refining the gold and silver, they could be directly used to make coins.
However, this was the power of the royal family of each country. Other nobles couldn't touch it. Anyone who touched it would die.
There were three kinds of mines that were more profitable than gold and silver, and they were not exclusive to the royal family. They were the three big secret metals, Miwu gold, Mibai gold and Miwu gold.
Each of these three big secret metals was priceless, several times more valuable than gold of the same weight. Without exception, they were all related to force.
Miwu gold was an extremely hard and heavy metal. Strong warriors used it to cast swords, and dragon archers used it to cast arrowheads. Arrowheads forged with Miwu gold were completely indestructible.
Last time at the southern border, Søren spent a lot of gold coins to buy a gold-plated arrow, which was already indestructible.
The price of one tael of Miwu gold was roughly equivalent to two gold coins. Søren estimated that the so-called Miwu gold should be similar to tungsten on the earth, but because it was extremely rare here and difficult to mine and refine, it was more expensive than gold.
As for Mithril Gold, it should be a metal unique to this world. It was very light and soft, but its flexibility was astonishingly high. The hairs of white gold could bear more than ten kilograms of weight. The soft armor made of white gold could not be pierced by swords, not even Miwu gold arrows could penetrate it.
One tael of white gold was equivalent to more than ten gold coins.
As for the Secret Dragon Gold, it was a very mysterious divine object. It was harder than the Secret Black Gold, and more tenacious than the Secret White Gold. However, it was even lighter than the Secret White Gold. Moreover, it had a very strong memory function. Many people regarded it as a mysterious living metal. Legend had it that it was transformed from the bones of the ancient divine dragons.
A sword made of Miwu gold was the most amazing weapon in this world. It was truly indestructible.
The first two kinds of secret metals had a price, but Miwu gold had no price at all. It was not a kind of mine, but a piece of it that accidentally existed in this world.
Tianshui City was a noble city, but there was no weapon made of Miwu gold. It was obvious that this thing was mysterious and rare.
In addition to the three big secret metals, gold and silver, the rest of the profitable things were copper mines, iron mines and so on. Although it was not as much as tens of thousands of gold coins, it was definitely a huge profit.
However, there were no mines on this island. Other than stones, there was almost nothing else.
"Master, you said to earn one hundred and fifty thousand gold coins in half a year. What is your plan?" Suo Mu could not help but ask, "I really can't think of any possibility."
Søren looked at the slave leader and said, "You have more than a thousand people. Gui Xingfu hid you on this island. What kind of business do you do?"
The slave leader said, "Boiling salt. Chopping firewood from the mountains, diving from the sea, and boiling salt in a big pot."
This village was actually one of Gui Xingfu's black salt fields. It was more than ten thousand mu of salt field.
Søren asked, "How much salt does this salt field produce in a year? How much gold coins can it earn? "
The slave leader said, "At its peak, there were more than three thousand salt slaves. They produced more than one million jin of salt a year and earned three thousand gold coins. Now, because the trees on the mountain have been cut down, the salt production is getting lower and lower. Last year, the salt production was less than four hundred thousand jin, and the profit was less than one thousand gold coins. So, this salt field and us slaves were completely abandoned. "
You didn't hear wrong. The price of salt in this world is dozens of copper coins per jin, which is equivalent to more than twenty RMB. But for ordinary people, the price is at least two or three times higher.
Of course, in ancient China, the price of salt was almost the same. Because of the high cost of boiling salt, coupled with the monopoly of salt and iron, the price of salt for a hundred copper coins per jin has always been the norm.
In ancient China, there was also well salt and rock salt. But in this world, salt is completely boiled. So, the price of salt is even higher.
Suo Mu said, "Master, this island is already useless. What is your plan to make money?"
"Salt, or salt production." Søren said.
Suo Mu said to the salt slave leader, "But, the trees on the mountain have almost all been cut down. There is no way to boil salt. Otherwise, this salt field would not have been abandoned by Gui Xingfu."
Søren said, "We are not boiling salt, but drying it."
"Drying salt? How? "Suo Mu asked.
"Of course, it is the sun." Søren said.
The salt slave leader said in disbelief, "The sun can make salt? How is that possible? "
Søren said, "Not only can it be made, but the yield is dozens of times more than boiling salt."
That's right, when Søren was in Royal City, he had the idea of Gui Xingfu's rocky island.
According to Ye Jingyu and Suo Ningbing's description, this island is the perfect natural salt field. It can easily open up tens of thousands of mu of salt ponds.
As long as there are enough people, an astronomical amount of salt can be produced in a year.
And in this world, salt is almost the same as silver, copper, and grain. It is an absolute hard currency.
Earning hundreds of thousands of gold coins can be said to be easy!
