NOVEL NEXT Chapter 264: Big Capitalist
Afterwards, Xia Yu returned to the City Lord's Mansion and ordered 3 million common coins in food at the City Lord's Mansion in one go.
With such a large amount of food purchased, even the city lord was curious to come over to take a look, and after asking about it, he asked someone to help Xia Yu collect the food.
From the mouth of the city lord, I learned that this group of gray dwarves appeared in the city because a territory was breached some time ago and was re-occupied by the abyssal demons.
These gray dwarves were the citizens of that territory. They originally had their own land and fields, but they all lost at that moment.
Afterwards, they could only discuss life in the city, but their life was not very good all the time, because their abilities were not needed by people in the city.
After arriving in the city, these gray dwarves have been asking for a living, but it has also caused some confusion. Now that Xia Yu is willing to take them away, the city lord naturally supports it.
The next day, early in the morning.
Seven carriages stood in front of the city lord's mansion, one was a special carriage for the lord, and the remaining six were carriages carrying grain, each of which carried grain worth 1 million.
"Didn't we just want 3.2 million?" Xia Yu asked Elana.
"Yesterday when the city lord left, he asked me to gather up 5 million grains for Mr. Lord, which is your support for helping the gray dwarves."
"Thank you, City Lord, for helping me."
Although more than one million yuan is nothing to the achievement of this true god-level powerhouse and myself, since they have helped you, then naturally you have to thank others.
"Mr. Lord, the gray dwarves are already waiting for us outside the city gate, it's time to go."
"Let's go then."
…
When I came outside the city gate, I saw the gray dwarves sitting outside the city gate waiting for something densely, and the passers-by were also talking about it.
Two carriages drove over. When the gray dwarf with the gray beard saw the leading lord's carriage, he stood up excitedly and looked at the carriage eagerly.
Hope is the carriage of the lord who hired them.
But the gray dwarves did not dare to stop the carriage of these lords. You must know that the lords are generally legendary powerhouses at the very least, and they are not something they can mess with.
As the carriage passed by, the carriage did not stop, but left slowly.
The gray dwarf with the gray beard sighed heavily and sat back.
"Chief, isn't it the lord who came to make us happy?" a gray dwarf said cautiously.
"No, the lords from the Earth Dragon Kingdom are at worst mythological powerhouses. They don't need to come to make us happy, just wait patiently." The gray dwarf with a gray beard said seriously, "Also, don't question the lord."
"Yes, Chief."
Twelve carriages drove slowly out of the city gate, and the gray dwarf with the big gray beard immediately stood up again.
This time the carriage stopped beside him, and Elana walked down, "There is a carriage bought for you by Mr. Lord at the back, please sit in it with gratitude."
Originally, more than 2,000 gray dwarves had to walk to Yong'an, and the journey was windy and rainy.
But now, the lord actually bought space carriages for them. Although there were only six of them, it was enough for all the more than two thousand gray dwarves to sit on them.
My lord, you are kind!
This is the word that Elanna and many gray dwarves thought of. You must know that every space carriage is worth tens of millions.
The space carriage for transporting food will return to the City Lord's Mansion after delivering the food to Yong'an.
The gray dwarves were excited and careful, and they lined up to get on the carriage, fearing that their hands would get dirty with the decorations on the carriage.
Elana also returned to the carriage, "Mr. Lord, the space carriage you bought at such a high price is not just to make these gray dwarves more stable along the way? In fact, with the stamina of the gray dwarves, this journey is nothing."
Hearing this, Xia Yu couldn't help but give Elanna a blank look, "With the space carriage, the time we need to go to Yong'an collar has been reduced from half a month to seven days. Time is precious, and there is a saying in my hometown that it is very good, and an inch of money cannot buy an inch of time."
"But the 200 million universal coins can buy thousands of my whole life..." Elana didn't say this.
But Xia Yu's words also silenced her.
In fact, Xia Yu had other plans. Naturally, the space carriage he bought would not be just for transporting the gray dwarves there.
With the space carriage, it is naturally no problem at all to transport the gray dwarves to the mine as a shuttle bus to and from work.
Afterwards, it is also fully useful for transporting ore out of the mine, which can greatly improve efficiency.
If you want to get rich, you must first build roads, and after building roads, you need cars.
The carriage set off towards Xia Yu Yong'an in a very steady way.
Along the way, Xia Yu didn't meet the robbers Elana mentioned, perhaps because he saw the lord's carriage, so naturally he didn't dare to come up and hijack it.
He is a robber, but not a fool.
This also made the originally scheduled seven-day journey finished in five days.
And these five days also made the gray dwarf, who was already grateful to Xia Yu, even more determined to Xia Yu.
Because Xia Yu provided food and shelter for more than two thousand people for the past five days. Even for the five hundred strong gray dwarves, Xia Yu considered them already at work and paid five days' wages.
After getting the money, some young gray dwarves excitedly took the money back to show their families. They didn't have the skills to maintain equipment like the older generation of gray dwarves.
In the city, they can only do some chores, and the wages they get are just enough to make ends meet.
"You are a charitable lord," Elana looked at Xia Yu with complicated eyes.
"It's not a lot of money for me."
Xia Yu looked at the excited gray dwarves outside the carriage, and said lightly.
"But for me... the gray dwarves, for the non-transcendents in this world, this is enough money to maintain their lives."
"Thank you, yes, this is your salary." Xia Yu, you handed a sum of money to Elana, "Because you have more things to do, so you have more than them."
"I can't, I was sent by the city lord to help you," Elana shook her head and refused.
Xia Yu stuffed the money into her hands, "I don't know how much the city lord will give you as a salary. But since you work for me, you should also be paid, so accept it."
Facing a mythical powerhouse, Elana had already held the money in her hands before she realized it, and she and Xia Yu had already sat back.
"Thank you, Lord Lord." Elanna didn't know what to do with the money for a while, and finally she could only thank Xia Yu softly.
In fact, the supporters sent by the city lord to these lords who have never had any experience in managing the territory are actually slaves bought by the city lord without any salary.
