As for the direction of the transformation, it must be determined based on what they are good at. Of course, it is not a job that they are good at on the surface, and the work of a bricklayer carpenter does not require physical fitness that is not as strong as a human. Shi Lei came from their combat ability.

Although they are old now, if they are really ruthless, ordinary trainees may not be able to withstand it. They are used to doing black work and can always take away the lives of their enemies at the lowest price. This is how the old injuries on their bodies come from.

Most of these people are good at taking human life in a small way, and are more similar to later agents and professional killers. A few people take the route of opening and closing, so agility is also the direction they focus on transformation.

Shi Lei felt very pleased when he saw them experiencing a brand new body. Improving their living conditions and even allowing them to have the life they yearn for will be the direction of Shi Lei's future efforts, and it is also the promise he made for these and loyal subordinates who have devoted most of his life to their family in his heart.

Let go of this worry for the time being. With these trustworthy subordinates participating in the construction of the Tulou, there is no need to worry about it. Someone can complete those secret jobs, and Shi Lei can be his hand-off manager again, putting aside the Tulou affairs and focusing on other aspects.

These professional laborers are not complicated to do this. As long as they are willing to work hard, they will not be very slow. They are still very powerful, especially when laying foundations and building stone walls. The speed is quite fast, and it will definitely change every day. The change speed is a bit beyond Shi Lei's expectations.

Just as the stone wall was completely built and was about to start to use the three-mix soil to increase it, the caravans returned to Chang'an with many top luxury goods they had obtained from the merchants, and rushed back in turmoil.

Of course they would not come back empty-handedly. Hard currency such as gold and silver is indispensable. If you want to do business in Guangzhou and the entire Lingnan area, you will not be able to do this without these red goods.

Things like copper coins have small face value and are dull. Just bring some daily expenses, and don’t require too much quantity.

There must be a small amount of luxury goods produced by oneself. Although there are no rich people in Guangzhou, no matter how small the mosquitoes are, they are still meat. If they really can't do it, can they still do business with foreigners?

Things like purple clay teapots and magical objects like tea are also indispensable. Even if it is just for Shi Lei to use it or given it to his colleagues, it is good.

These things are very famous in the upper class of the Tang Dynasty. I believe these colleagues will be very interested in them. It is not so easy to get these things in such a cramped place as Guangzhou. After all, Guangzhou now has no tradition of engaging in tea trade.

However, what Shi Lei cares most is that he is transporting it from Chang'an, which is also the chili he strongly requests. As an authentic foodie, he can actually tolerate anything else, but he can't stand it, especially when his family has the conditions to satisfy his appetite.

Fortunately, the butler and the others had known Shi Lei's hobby for a long time. When Yu Linglong and the others came here, the chef who sent him to serve him brought a lot of pepper noodles alone, which did not make Shi Lei suffer.

Of course, it is not entirely to satisfy Shi Lei's own selfishness. The caravan also wanted to open a "unique" semicolon in Guangzhou City this time.

Although Guangzhou City does not have the most top wealthy people, there are still many of them above the middle class. After all, it is a trade-oriented city, and many people still benefit from it.

Although due to the development of Guangzhou City, their living standards are still quite different from those in the heart of the Central Plains, this does not delay their infinite yearning for a better life.

Moreover, according to Shi Lei's observation, these people are still willing to spend money on food and drink. The reason why this place can become a well-known paradise for foodies and even the reputation of the chef's hometown is that it has historical traditions, so I think our restaurant business is not much worse.

As for other ingredients needed by our family, such as special broilers that can also be used as unique secrets, there is no need to transport them from Chang'an from thousands of miles away, because Shi Lei's transformation ability has become much stronger now, with a total of 1,000 cubic meters per day. As for the population base of Guangzhou City, there is no need to worry that it will not be enough for them to eat.

Just the chickens, ducks, geese, and many ingredients that Shi Lei transformed in order to upgrade the system, there should be little problem to meet the early needs. It should be supplemented at any time when needed in the future. We have a lot of energy to transform and can be willful.

However, since it is a caravan rather than a chef team, there must be a need to do other transactions. The more important purpose is to open up a stable trade route.

Last time I came to Guangzhou, I bought that batch of top-quality raw materials, but my family tasted a lot of sweetness and made a lot of money from it. This time, I naturally thought about purchasing more top-quality goods. Even the share of the merchants was mostly divided by spokespersons of other nobles.

Even if you are still in a tug-of-war with foreign merchants, you cannot go over and interfere with them in violation of the hidden rules, which means that these goods are no longer the same as yours.

However, Guangzhou is also a commodity distribution center for the entire Lingnan. In the environment of Lingnan, it is not only possible to rely on foreign merchants to have good things like ivory and rhinoceros horns. Their advantages are more about spices and slaves.

Because there is no shortage of elephants and rhinos in Lingnan, it is not difficult to acquire these good things from locals. The price is even cheaper than those obtained by foreign merchants, but the quality may be slightly worse than those transported from the distant African continent.

But at most, it is just put into secondary-level goods. When pricing, it is just a little more flexible, and the profits in it have also increased a lot.

Of course, Yizhou can also provide a lot of this type of goods, but compared with Lingnan, the number is much smaller, and most of them have been monopolized by themselves.

There is also an advantage here, that is, Hepu pearls, which are regarded as the flesh of his three wives. Guangzhou is not too far from Hepu, at least much closer than from Chang'an. It is also very profitable to purchase more Hepu pearls from here.

Finally, there is the special silk that is still in short supply at home. The thousand acres of mulberry forest in Guangzhou are really powerful. The growth of this mulberry silkworm is indeed fast. It is almost time to go on the market again. It is also a good idea to let your caravan transport more points back to Chang'an, and it can further consolidate your position and market share in top clothing.

The caravan's staff had just been settled here, and good news came from there. The ocean-going ships that Shi Lei ordered early were about to be completed. The flagship that was the earliest to pay the money will be launched in the water in the past few days. Shi Lei's dream of sailing is about to come true.
Chapter completed!
