Chapter 19 Players Visit
Speaking of which, Guo Hao is not a devil.
Unfortunately, in order to solve the survival problem of Beifeng Village, Guo Hao studied Chinese and foreign history thoroughly.
Guo Hao has thought about all kinds of ways to get rich , but unfortunately the game system is a huge mountain that he cannot get around.
To engage in papermaking, without the technology, one must at least have a master craftsman to be recognized by the system.
We are trying to develop printing technology, but there is not even any paper. How can we use bamboo slips to print?
Making gunpowder is an old problem: no money and no skilled craftsmen.
Compass? It's a product of the pre-Qin period, and the Han Dynasty had it. Gyroscopes and the like can be used, but unfortunately, the old problem remains: the system is stuck and you have no way to deal with it.
Don't even think about silk, tea, salt, etc. They are completely uncompetitive.
Live by the mountain, eat by the mountain; live by the water, eat by the water. Unfortunately, near Beifeng Village, there is only a small mountain range and not even the shadow of water can be seen.
There are no specialties at all, maybe the Hu people can be considered a specialty?
In the end, Guo Hao understood the two words "cannibalism" from the lines of Chinese and foreign history.
The triangular trade has told us that if you want to be rich, you have to be ruthless and cause many people to die, then you can become prosperous.
When Guo Hao thought of the rescued Han people, he immediately thought of the smooth road of trafficking the Hu people.
When Guo Hao was racking his brains over how to sell the products, Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping came to his door.
Human trafficking is also a serious crime, but the profits are staggeringly huge. Besides, how can the Hu people be considered human beings?
Guo Hao sold the young and strong Hu people for 150 taels, and the old, weak, women and children for 50 taels. Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping then sold them to other noble families and mines, and the price doubled or tripled.
Marx said that as long as a businessman has a 10% profit, he will use it everywhere; with a 20% profit, he will be active; with a 50% profit, the businessman dares to take risks; for a 100% profit, he dares to trample on all human laws;
What's more, the profit is now double or even triple, so Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping dare to ignore everything.
Businessmen are profit-driven. As soon as Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping heard Guo Hao's plan, they immediately took out money and started investing.
Mr. Guang couldn't agree with Guo Hao's approach to some extent , but he knew that Guo Hao was doing it for them, so he didn't say anything else and quietly stepped back to arrange other matters in the village.
“Boom boom boom!”
Hmm? Why is Mr. Guang back again? Is there anything else you haven't said?
Guo Hao opened the door , only to find some completely strangers standing outside.
"Player?"
"Would you like to invite us in and have a seat?" the leading player said with a chuckle.
"You are a guest, please come in!"
"Thank you," the leading player bowed and led the players behind him into the room.
Before Guo Hao could ask any questions, the leading player began to introduce himself.
"I am the leader of the Beimang Gang, Wang Ming, Wang Changying."
"I am Guo Fei, Guo Pengju!"
Wang Ming did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point. He hoped Guo Hao could help train the players in his guild. If possible, he also wanted to buy a batch of war horses from Guo Hao.
Guo Hao had a headache. Training and trading were minor matters. The main thing was that he was not ready to deal with players.
Beifeng Village has just started, and cannot withstand the fierceness of the Fourth Calamity. Moreover, if players make trouble, the troops he has may not be able to suppress it.
"1,000 taels for a horse, and 100 taels for training a player." Guo Hao pondered for a long time, and finally gave an offer that he thought was relatively fair.
"Are you robbing money?" Before Wang Changying could say anything, a player behind him jumped out.
Seeing Wang Changying's silence, Guo Hao sneered in his heart.
"Play the good cop and the bad cop with me ?"
Guo Hao picked up the crescent halberd without saying a word, and before the opposing player could react, he placed the halberd on the neck of the player who was speaking.
"With whom?"
"Heng Di, stop it. How can you do this to Mr. Guo?"
Seeing Wang Changying's acting skills seemed to be half a beat slow, Guo Hao shrugged and removed the halberd from Hengdi's neck.
"It seems that Boss Wang doesn't control his subordinates well. How about I clean up the mess for you?" Guo Hao said with a pout.
"It's just a misunderstanding, just a misunderstanding. Hengdi, why don't you apologize to Mr. Guo?" Wang Changying urged with a smile.
"Forget it. Boss Wang, if you can't afford the price, please go back." Guo Hao shook his head and made a gesture to see him off.
"It's not that we don't want to pay, it's just that the price you ask is too high, Mr. Guo." Wang Changying was also helpless. Their gang was not a wealthy gang. The total amount was only a few thousand taels, not even enough to form a small team.
"Poor?" Guo Hao said excitedly, "I have a way to make money. Are you willing to do it?"
"Speaking!"
"Learn about the human trafficking of the Hu people." Guo Hao showed an innocent smile.
But in the eyes of Wang Changying and other players, it seemed as if a terrifying devil appeared behind Guo Hao, tempting them to sign a contract to sell themselves.
But after listening to Guo Hao's story, they were moved.
Guo Hao killed people all the way, and even with dual systems at his disposal, his strength was only 34, let alone these ordinary players.
There is no way to go up to heaven and no door to enter the earth. This is what they are like. Although they enjoy the 100% simulation feeling, living at the bottom and suffering is not their original intention.
Ordinary players are not like Guo Hao, who can kill people everywhere on the grassland. They can only do some small tasks or follow the regular army to fight some small groups of enemies. Now there are a lot of people who are not higher than level 5.
They were all players who had failed the initial trial. Their lives were already difficult, not to mention that the Han court had blocked all shortcuts.
The average four dimensions of ordinary players are less than 10, so when they heard that Guo Hao could directly increase the force to 15-20, everyone was tempted. They were just the first batch of players who were close, and more players were still behind.
Guo Hao used the training quota and Beifeng Village household registration certificate to directly lock in all the players of the Beimang Gang. If nothing unexpected happens, they will have to work hard for Guo Hao for a long time.
After sending Wang Changying away, Guo Hao directly posted on the forum, saying that with trained soldiers in hand, the players could be used at his will.
After dealing with these trivial matters, Guo Hao began to count on his fingers his next plan.
There are still more than thirty days left before the Yellow Turban Rebellion. I'm sure a lot of players will want to come here, so that the money problem will be solved.
The construction of the village is also proceeding as scheduled. According to the best layout map compiled by the master, Beifeng Village has become the size of a small town.
Canals were being dug, roads were being built, and city walls were being erected everywhere. Thousands of people were working hard on the construction. Guo Hao estimated that by the time the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, he would have been able to fully develop the village into Beifeng City.
As for whether to join the Yellow Turban camp, Guo Hao was also hesitant. After all, if the Yellow Turbans had not been exposed, it would not be a good thing to revolt as scheduled.
