11. Scouting the kite(1/2)
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the 'Locust Destroyer' mission and exceeding the expected effect, the amount of rewarded food doubled again, increasing to 320,000 stones, and an additional chance of winning the lottery."
“Is it a lottery draw now?”
Luo Taisui made a confused choice to confirm.
"Ding! The host is full of luck and draws a volume of drawings for detecting the Muk Kite mechanism."
Investigate wooden kites?
Isn’t it the Mohist art?
This thought flashed through Luo Taisui's mind and was then occupied by greater confusion.
How did you complete the task?
Why did it exceed expectations?
What does it mean?
The people in Chang'an said in a very resistant way...
Next, he was preparing to take revenge on society and tried various ways of locusts, steaming, stir-frying, stewing, and mixing... Let the people of Chang'an feel what a real dark cuisine is.
Who knew that the task was completed inexplicably.
Are you having fun?
The system comes out and gives me a perfect explanation!
Luo Taisui shouted in his heart.
Of course no one paid attention to him.
This system also sends tasks and rewards, and there is no other nonsense.
Luo Taisui touched his nose in disappointment, and then began to check the drawings of the wooden kite.
The moment he unfolded, he suddenly shook all over.
Then he widened his eyes.
It seems to be extremely shocked.
I saw the drawings densely painted floor plans of various parts and annotated texts.
As the drawings spread out bit by bit, various parts are assembled in batches and turned into a wooden mechanism that looks like a goshawk at the end.
This... this... this... this... what kind of thing is it, I can't understand it at all!
Luo Taisui felt his mind swelling and threw the drawing aside.
It’s either farm work or cooking, or carpentry. What’s going on with this system?
Should he be trained to be a good young man with comprehensive development of agriculture, industry and commerce?
Can you get something reliable?
At this moment, a sudden ding sound scared Luo Taisui.
"The system released the advanced task of 'Locust Destroyer': to stimulate the determination of the people in Guanzhong to fight the locust plague, and kill 100 million locusts, minimizing the loss of crops."
“Task Reward: Double the amount of food stored and once a chance to draw.”
When Luo Taisui saw 100 million of these numbers, he wanted to curse.
But the mission reward seems a bit perverted.
After the previous task was completed, the amount of food I had hoarded had reached 320,000 stones, which tripled...
Luo Taisui broke a branch and calculated it on the ground.
Thirty-two times eight, two hundred and fifty-six.
Two million and sixteen thousand stones!
It can be eaten by more than one million people in Chang'an for two months!
I have never seen so much food in my life.
When the task is completed, I am also a big grain owner.
Let's go and see.
Still come to the backyard.
The food accumulated this time is much more spectacular than the last time... Of course, it takes more time and effort to move into the house.
Luo Taisui held his forehead with his hands, which made him feel a little headache.
So much food is going to be moved to the Year of the Monkey and Horse Month?
It seems that some people need to be hired.
Let's leave it for now.
When he returned to the vestibule, Luo Taisui found that Miss Li was coming again.
Standing next to the formula for calculating the quantity on the ground just now, he stared at it curiously.
"What is this?" Li Li asked.
"A kind of Western Region number." Luo Taisui replied.
"You actually understand the Western Region numbers!" Li Lizhi was a little surprised, "What's the point of being arranged like this?"
"Calculate, calculate the quantity." Luo Taisui looked as if he was taken for granted.
"Oh... that's almost the same as the plan." Li Lizhi glanced at her again, but still couldn't understand, so she simply gave up.
Luo Taisui asked her to sit down and poured a cup of tea.
"I suddenly realized that there was a loophole in the method you mentioned last time, so I will discuss it with you today."
Li Lizhi was disdainful of going around the corner and went straight to the point and asked the question Li Shimin wanted to ask the most.
After talking to Empress Changsun, he already knew that the treacherous guy in front of him was actually the son of the late Duke of Shan.
And this Luo Mansion is the former Duke of Shanguo.
"Oh?" Luo Taisui showed a look of attention, "What loophole?"
Li Lizhi took a sip of the tea ceremony: "Your plan to manipulate grain prices is based on the premise that all grain merchants are unaware of it. Once it is leaked, it will be defeated.
There is no airtight wall in the world. I want to know what you should do to hide it from the eyes and ears of all people in the world?”
"If you leak it, just leak it, why should you hide it?" Luo Taisui blinked the copper bell's eyes.
He didn't know that Li Shimin had already pierced the window paper.
Fan Zhongyan, in later generations, was scolded by the people and beaten to death without explaining it, and finally successfully fooled the grain merchants of all sizes.
"What?" Li Lizhi was caught off guard and was stunned by his question.
It seemed like I had asked nonsense.
I heard Luo Taisui say: "The so-called "invisible" means "real" and "in reality means "invisible".
The mall is treacherous and changeable, and is already full of all kinds of lies.
If the water is muddy, then stir it even more, won’t it be enough?”
After a pause, he said again: "For example, if there are rumors that the price of grain in Guanzhong will drop, you will spread other rumors that the price of grain will continue to fall. You should seize the opportunity to sell the grain as soon as possible.
Or maybe the grain prices are rising steadily, and some people want to monopolize the lucrative grain market, so they spread rumors to prevent grain traders from entering the country.
Or, just say that the Turks were going to be attacked. The five surnames and seven sects wanted to make money from the national crisis, and maliciously hoarded grain and did not lend it to the court, resulting in the court having no grain available and had to buy it at a high price...
Anything that's fine.
Once Guanzhong is affected by disaster, the price of grain will inevitably rise all the way, and the court will eat grain in small quantities at double prices, which is more convincing than anything else.
You should know that food is different from real money and silver. It is not easy to store and is consumed every day.
Only by selling it can it be considered real money.
When will you not sell it now?”
This is how it was in the last world. No one knows what the truth is.
On the contrary, it is true that the popularity has been hyped up.
Facing Luo Taisui’s final problem, Li Lizhi was speechless and thought to herself that this could be done?
It turns out that he is a businessman and a traitor.
But then again, isn’t this guy in front of you also a profiteer?
It seems that he is also stocking up food, and there are still a lot of it.
More importantly, these tricks are all from his mouth, so maybe he is more treacherous than a profiteer?
But he had another honest face...
What kind of person is this guy?
To be continued...
