Chapter 497 Purchase of Foundation Building Slave Cultivator

Even though this staggering expense made him feel a little pain in his heart, in the long run, it was an indispensable investment.

Just when he was about to take care of the last few chores and prepare to leave Holy Peak City temporarily, he received a messenger from the Zodiac Society.

The messenger was surprisingly "Su Mengli" - this was the message Ye Changsheng sent when he first arrived in Holy Peak City. He asked her to meet. Ye Changsheng wanted to purchase a certain number of slave cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Period. These people would The coolies who took on the task of building the city.

For certain large forces, if they need to build caves, open up wasteland, or deploy manpower in certain places, they often purchase or lease a certain number of monks from the Zodiac Society.

The practice of "enslaving monks" is not uncommon in the world of immortality. Although it is not glorious, it can indeed effectively solve the problem of labor shortage.

Ye Changsheng booked a private room in a restaurant somewhere in the city and specially asked the waiter to set up a soundproof array. Not long after, Su Mengli arrived.

I saw Su Mengli wearing a light red dress. She had a beautiful appearance, but she still had a heroic appearance.

She walked briskly and her eyes were full of smiles. When she saw Ye Changsheng, she pursed her lips and smiled and said: "Oh, Mr. Ye is such a big hand. It is said that you are still building the fairy city? This is incredible. Tsk tsk, if I had known earlier You are a rich man, why didn’t I join you in the first place?”

Her teasing was a bit cunning, making people laugh.

Ye Changsheng slightly cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Miss Su is joking, I just earned some spiritual stones by luck. It is your zodiac club that should be envied. That is the country with unparalleled wealth."

"Look at how humble you are."

Su Mengli stroked the hanging black hair beside her ears, pretending to be coquettish, "Now we have to build an independent city. This is a big event that many people dare not even think about, so don't pretend to be poor in front of me."

After the two joked for a while, they started talking about business.

Ye Changsheng told his needs in a concise and concise manner: "I want to build the city this time, and I need at least two thousand servants in the foundation construction period, preferably young male monks.

As for the origin, I don't want to cause any trouble. Naturally, I don't want the kind of enslaved monks who were forced to come here by prisoners of war. I need the kind of monks who were raised by your zodiac sign from childhood, or who voluntarily sold themselves into slavery, so as to ensure obedience and stability. "

When Su Mengli heard this, her eyes lit up - this kind of business is definitely a big deal.

Two thousand foundation-building monks are not a small number for the Zodiac Club.

"Young Master Ye is so courageous, but as you know, it is not cheap to train a monk from a young age or to voluntarily sell yourself into slavery.

The price for enslaved monks captured in the war is only three million high-grade spiritual stones each. However, most of these monks have resentments, are often disobedient to discipline, and have a high risk of rebellion.

In comparison, the price of a monk trained since childhood is doubled, requiring six million spiritual stones per person, which is not a small sum. "

Ye Changsheng nodded without any hesitation: "I understand the gap. What I want is the kind of obedient monks who have received basic education and training, so that there will be no hidden dangers in city construction or future garrisoning.

Six million is just six million, you get what you pay for, and we don’t want to make a big fuss when the time comes. "

Hearing how cheerful he was, Su Mengli praised sincerely: "What a big deal! Two thousand people is the total amount of 1.2 billion spiritual stones. Mr. Ye is indeed generous."

Ye Changsheng chuckled, "No matter how generous you are, it is for the long term. If there are management problems with this heavy labor, there will be endless troubles. Instead of spending all your efforts to suppress it then, it is better to buy a batch now to save trouble."

Su Mengli blinked a little playfully: "Well, maybe after the city is built, I will come to you for some free time. Lord Ye, please don't dislike me as an old friend."

"Wherever you are, you are welcome."

Ye Changsheng smiled.

The two later hammered out more details. To be on the safe side, Su Mengli specifically asked whether these foundation-building monks were going to assist in city defense or just do hard labor.

Ye Changsheng explained that for the time being, it was just labor service and basic protection. If anyone performs well in the future, they will be given freedom and higher-level treatment.

Such a promise is indeed an incentive for these monks who were initially in servile status.

After listening to this, Su Mengli kept nodding her head, indicating that the Zodiac Association would strictly select suitable candidates.

In the end, Ye Changsheng paid half of the deposit on the spot - 60 million high-grade spiritual stones, and settled everything after the other party transported the personnel to Holy Peak City.

Su Mengli was naturally overjoyed about this. Faced with such a large order, she spoke enthusiastically. She expressed "Young Master Ye is very generous" several times and promised again and again that a sufficient number of people would be sent to Holy Peak City in one month.

Seeing that the deal was concluded, the smile on Su Mengli's face became even brighter, and she half-jokingly said: "A leader like you will become famous sooner or later in the future. I wonder if you will regret not dating me more in the first place?"

"Miss Su, please stop teasing me."

Ye Changsheng smiled and shook his head, "You and I are friends after all. If there is a chance in the future, we can have a drink and chat in a restaurant in the fairy city. But at this stage, I still have a lot of preparation work to deal with."

"Okay, then I'll remember it."

While Su Mengli put away the deposit, she bowed deeply to Ye Changsheng, "I will go back to the Zodiac Association to integrate resources and send these people here as soon as possible within a month. I will never let Mr. Ye down."

After saying that, she left the private room with a smile. Looking at her back, Ye Changsheng felt quite emotional: Nowadays, the construction of the city is linked to each other. Materials, manpower, guards... all require huge financial support.

Although his accumulation over the years is not small, he has spent more than 100 million high-quality spirit stones on procurement and recruitment in just a few months.

After Su Mengli left, Ye Changsheng did not stay any longer and returned directly to the inn.

A lot of time has passed in the three-year preparation period, and he must go all out.

During this period, mining, smelting, refining magic weapons, and setting up temporary stations are all not small projects.

In order to ensure that Li Yannian and other technicians can start work immediately after arriving at the site, Ye Changsheng even considered building some simple camps and defense arrays near the spirit veins to pave the way for subsequent large-scale construction.

A month passed like a flash, and it was gone in the blink of an eye.

Su Mengli's efficiency is indeed well-deserved.

In just a few dozen days, she relied on the powerful channels of the Zodiac Association to raise a full 2,000 young foundation-building slaves.

At the agreed time, two thousand foundation-building slaves gathered outside Shengfeng City at dawn. Some looked wooden or confused, and some seemed to have a secret expectation for the unknown future.

At this time, in an open valley on the outskirts of Shengfeng City, there was a huge third-level high-quality "Ark".
