Volume 3 The King of Kunlun Chapter 92 The robbery

Long Yubing was silent for a moment before he said slowly: "I heard from Xiaoyu and Guimu that there are about 350 people in the village now, but now the food and salt are very expensive. Each person's daily expenses are about two cents and silver, and more than three hundred people are seventy taels... In a month, it will be more than two thousand taels, which is just food rations and clothes."

Li Mo's heart skipped a beat and mutely said, "No wonder he said there is little money! After careful calculation, it's really... not good." Seeing that Long Yubing seemed to be waiting for him to ask, Li Mo frowned and continued, "Thinking this way, the money is not much. Miss Long, continue." Long Yubing continued, "I said just now that the expenses of these two thousand taels are just to maintain fullness and warmth. If other expenses are included, it will cost about three thousand taels."

Li Mo picked up his arms and breathed, his face becoming more and more serious. Of course, Long Yubing hid in the quilt and couldn't see her, but just said to himself: "...In other words, if it were all replaced with food and cloth, this ten thousand taels of silver could last for almost three months, provided that the village has maintained a scale of more than 300 people in the past three months and cannot add any more people."

Li Mo lowered his head and thought for a while and said, "That is, if you buy enough food and grass, you can last for five months... enough." "But I think Aunt Hua should have more than 10,000 taels of silver in her hands, right? Until the crops are over, the expenses of food rations can be reduced by half. The remaining silver should be enough to buy cotton and charcoal for winter." Long Yubing said slowly.

Li Mo nodded, then thought to himself: "The price of cotton and charcoal will definitely increase after the beginning of autumn, which is not as good as it is now..." However, Long Yubing seemed to be born to touch Li Mo's vein gate, and wanted to go with her again: "The cotton and charcoal fire are not very expensive now. If Aunt Hua wants to save money, buy it now. As for livestock, iron ore, you can wait for the money to buy it when you have more money. After all, without cotton and charcoal, you can't forge armor and weapons."

Li Mo looked at Long Yubing who refused to show up, nodded with relief and said, "Then, Miss Long, how much money do you think I have on hand? Guess." Long Yubing smiled: "At least 15,000 taels!" Li Mo patted the chair, stood up quickly and said, "Food, cotton, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and charcoal... I know, it's great."

"Carbon can be burned by yourself. In fact, it is more suitable to buy logs. Not only is it cheap, it can be used to build a village and a house." Long Yubing added. Li Mo nodded with satisfaction, then called Mu Wushuang outside the door, sighed and said slowly: "I used to be a god, and I have never been worried about the weapons. As for the food and weeds, I have never thought about it, which is sad."

Mu Wushuang bowed and replied, "Aunt Mo, we are different from the gods now, and you are not the gods who eat wind and dew now." Li Mo sighed and nodded: "Yes, gods can avoid eating or drinking, and when they are injured, there are countless magical medicines that can be used openly. I really don't know how expensive firewood and rice are..."

Speaking of this, Li Mo suddenly reached out to block his lips with a strange expression, and then silently said in his heart: "How could I say such things that cannot be heard in the Heavenly Court... Li Shuanghua, are you doing it behind me? Come out." Mu Wushuang saw that Li Mo suddenly stood there silently, and could only stand aside and wait for her patiently.

Li Mo waited for a while but didn't see Li Shuanghua responding, then put down his right hand and continued, "Hanbao, tell me the truth: Letting Li Shuanghua take care of this village is more suitable than me, right?" Mu Wushuang nodded at Li Mo's tears mole: "Yes, Aunt Mo, you were a goddess after all, and you don't have to go around and work hard, so you naturally don't understand the trivial matters of firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea."

Li Mo bit his nails and smiled bitterly: "But, I am a vulgar now. If I don't understand, I will still be froze and starve... I just wanted to use those silver to cast a spear as a weapon, but after Miss Long said that... I'd better forget it." After that, Li Mo turned around and looked at Mu Wushuang, nodded: "I won't appear again before the Heavenly Court sends troops next time. Let Li Shuanghua hold up the stall as soon as possible, hurry up."

Mu Wushuang smiled and took two steps back to look at Li Mo, then clasped his fists and said, "Aunt Mo, your fireworks are getting stronger and stronger, and your murderous aura is much smaller!" Li Mo lowered his head and sighed: "The ordinary people must look like a vulgar people. Since I have praised Haikou, I have to do it... Okay, see you again."

After saying that, the tears moles under the corner of Li Mo's eyes slowly faded away under Mu Wushuang's gaze. Li Shuanghua, who saw the light of the sky again, looked at Mu Wushuang with a sigh of relief and shook her head: "Your uncle is really not simple! You can even make Li Mo look at her with a high glance!" Mu Wushuang tilted his head curiously and looked at Li Shuanghua. Li Shuanghua immediately asked unnaturally: "What's wrong? Why are you staring at me like this? Is there a rice grain on my face?"

Mu Wushuang shook his head quickly: "No! It's just Aunt Hua, you seem to be getting more and more beautiful..." Li Shuanghua closed his eyes and hummed: "It should be that he looks more and more like Li Mo, right! Alas, his whole body has changed, and I don't know if he should be happy or unhappy..." Mu Wushuang scratched his head and said, "Then, have you heard what Aunt Mo and the junior uncle said just now?"

Li Shuanghua put his hands on his hips and nodded: "That's natural. Li Mo is not wary of me and does not hide anything from me. Moreover, Miss Long's arrangements are very reasonable, so I will arrange someone to do it now!" Li Shuanghua was about to turn around, but suddenly stopped and frowned and said, "But to bring so much money into the city, you have to find someone who is foolproof!"

Mu Wushuang raised his eyebrows: "Look for someone? How about Brother Cheng?" Li Shuanghua pondered for a moment, then frowned and said, "Chen Ying is naturally fine, but he is not alone, at least five or six people need to come over." Mu Wushuang said with an Oh and continued, "The mouse is also in the city, but he has only two people! We can't go into the city rashly..."

Li Shuanghua held her chin with a look of distress: "Indeed, there are too few people! If Cheng Ying comes to the city to make a lot of purchases every time, it will definitely attract attention. This is not a long-term solution..." Mu Wushuang turned his head and looked at Long Yubing's residence, and suddenly smiled and said, "How about let Xiaoyu go?" Li Shuanghua looked at Mu Wushuang with some confusion and said, "Xiaoyu? Is it appropriate for her to go?"
