After hearing Li Shu's words, Su Chen understood.

The forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds.

There are those who make money by luck, those who make money by robbery, and those who make a living by hard work, so naturally there are also those who are flexible and clinging to high branches.

Li Shu is such a person.

This person is not a warrior, and he has no force. He can come to the Emerald Valley and still gives silver and sneaks in with a team of warriors.

Although he had no force, this man's brain was still working. After getting the news of the Star Silver Mine in the Emerald Valley, he made up his mind to make a fortune here. However, he did not plan to dig Star Silver. He had no strength, and he could not steal the place even if he had the luck to find some broken Star Silver, he might as well let others take it away.

So he chose to be a helper. From the beginning of entering the valley, he looked around for a support for his thighs.

However, his luck was obviously not very good. Although he had found several waves of people, none of them looked at him.

This is mainly because this kid's asking price is really higher.

A source stone for five days.

You should know that the value of a source stone is similar to one or two red gold, and a shop assistant usually only earns one or two red gold in the whole month.

In other words, this kid's asking price is six times that of a normal person, so no wonder no one wants him.

However, Li Shu insisted on asking for his price. He believed that he would meet a rich man who could discover his value.

After talking to Li Shu at this moment, Su Chen also smiled.

"You dare to ask for a price, and you are not afraid that I will kill you in anger."

Li Shu hurriedly said: "The adults misunderstood. It's not that the price is small and the sky-high, but that the people here are generally worth three times higher than those outside."

"Oh?" Su Chen was stunned.

Li Shuyi said: "Sir, you think, Emerald Valley is deep in the deep red mountains, and there are ferocious beasts all the way. The journey is difficult and it is not easy to get in and out. It is not easy to get here. It is also a workmanship, so who would come here?"

This is right, if it weren't for the hope of getting rich, who would have come here at the risk of his life?

"So the real price of a small one is not six times, it is actually only twice." Li Shu smiled and raised his two fingers.

"It's twice as good, you're pretty good at calculating." Su Chen couldn't help laughing at Li Shu: "Then why do you charge twice as much money than others?"

"Just because I, Li Shu, can write and calculate, and can identify all kinds of minerals." Li Shu replied proudly.

This is an era when books are highly valued and over literature are not printed. The cost of printing books is difficult to spread, which further leads to difficulties in dissemination of culture. Even middle and upper class people are mostly illiterate and rude, let alone lower class people.

Li Shu is indeed a relatively rare skill to be able to read and calculate.

Su Chen looked at him in surprise, then looked around and said, "But your ability doesn't seem to be of any use in this place."

Li Shu's face turned red.

That’s right, so what if he can write and calculate it? So what if he is flexible?

Here, only strength is the only thing needed.

Without enough power, even if you pick Star Silver, you can't keep it.

When Li Shu thought of this, he sighed again.

Just when he thought he had failed again, he heard the boy in front of him say, "But you have good luck. If you can write and calculate, it may be of some use to me."

What?

Li Shu looked up in surprise.

But he saw Su Chen walking forward: "Let's use you for a day first and introduce me to the situation of the Emerald Valley. If you are really capable and this place is indeed as I thought, I can consider formally using you."

Li Shu was overjoyed and hurriedly followed: "Thank you to the love of the Lord, Li Shuding worked hard to serve the young master. By the way, the place where the Jade Valley is easiest to mine is still..."

Su Chen interrupted him and said, "I don't want to know where the most mines are here. I just want to know how many people are mining in this Jade Valley now, how are their power distributed, and how are they food, clothing and consumption on weekdays..."

Su Chen has made a series of requests.

Li Shu was a little dizzy when he heard this. He couldn't figure out what Su Chen didn't care about the mine, but he cared about what people did.

However, Li Shu is really capable. Although Su Chen’s questions are a bit tricky, he can still answer most of them:

"Sir, there are currently about 500 to 600 jadeites. Among them, 32 Yuanshi, oh, you are 33. There are more than 400 hunters and warriors, and the rest are ordinary people, here to try their luck."

"How are the cultivation levels of those Sources?"

"I don't know the specific details, but there are three most powerful source soldiers here, namely the Death Lan Swordsman, the Crimson Demon Crimson Cyclone and the Narcissus Zhou Yuniang. These three people occupy the three most produced mines in the Emerald Valley. They are said to be the Source soldiers in the Boiling Blood Realm. The Death Lan Swordsman is a little introverted, and he is the only one who doesn't like to talk. The two adults, the Crimson Demon Cryclone and the Narcissus, gathered some people to mine for them. At present, these two gangs have the greatest power, but they seem to be in harmony with each other."

Su Chen finally looked at Li Shu with some admiration. He was able to collect so much information in advance, which shows that Li Shu is indeed a thoughtful person.

Next, Su Chen asked some questions, but they were all about the situation of the miners in the Jade Valley, and they were completely uninterested in the Star Silver Mine itself.

While listening, Su Chen also took a pen and wrote on paper.

After almost the understanding, Su Chen handed Li Shu a piece of paper and said, "I will leave for a few days next. I want you to do something well in the days when I am not here."

Li Shu took it and saw a wooden house painted on it, and the background was clearly in the Emerald Valley.

"Sir, I want me to build a house?" Li Shu understood and blurted out.

"Yes, build a wooden house for me as required in the picture. You have five days to find the manpower yourself. This is money." Su Chen handed Li Shu ten taels of red gold.

He was not worried that Li Shu would run away with the money, and no one dared to rely on Yuanqishi's account.

"But sir, you came here without collecting star silver, but building wooden houses... Why is this for?" Li Shu was puzzled.

"I don't plan to pick Xingyin." Su Chen replied: "I just plan to open a tavern and grocery store here to do some business."

"Doing business? Taverns and grocery stores?" Li Shu was stunned.

"Yes." Su Chen replied: "Selling wine, selling ferocious beast meat, selling mining hoes, selling all the utensils needed for life, pots and pans... So many people are looking for Xingyin here, so they always have to live? You can make do with it a day or two, but after the days are long, it will be uncomfortable. If no one provides services for them, then I will do it. Besides..."
