European Emperor Cultivation System

Chapter 70 Visit
"Where is this..."

Li Peijun opened his eyes, stretched his sleepy body, and looked around again.The familiar environment reminded him that this was his bedroom.

Recalling the memory before he lost consciousness, Li Peijun seemed to remember that he was dipping in fruit wine and chewing bread with relish. Maybe he was exhausted, or maybe he was drunk, and he didn't know what happened after that.

There was a knock on the door, Li Peijun answered with a soft greeting, and Catherine pushed the door open.

"How long have I been asleep?" Li Peijun's first concern is this, after all, it will affect the follow-up work arrangements.

"It's been a while since lunch time, is it in time?"

"Hee hee, almost."

Li Peijun adjusted his condition, changed into casual clothes, hung up his sword and went out.

The three of Bernard had already run out, maybe they were looking for some fun in the city again. Li Peijun didn't want to let Catherine stay alone in the monastery to look after the house, so he took her out as well.

"Go to Possang's house, as for dressing like this..."

I saw Catherine wearing armor and girdling her waist, and tying up her hair. Her golden hair was tied up with a silver hairpin and hidden in her iron helmet, showing a womanly attitude.

"Of course I want to protect you, this stupid young man. Besides, I don't want to cause you any trouble. It would be bad if you went out wearing women's clothes like last time and caused unnecessary trouble."

Catherine twisted her neck from side to side to adjust the body feeling. It seemed that it didn't fit well, but she still put on the gauntlet and shawl calmly.

"Okay, ready to go at any time."

Catherine, fully armed, stood in front of Li Peijun, and with the thick and deep voice that was deliberately imitated, it was hard to tell that it was her daughter's house without careful identification.

"I'm convinced, let's go." Li Peijun sighed, and wanted to lead Catherine along, but Catherine dodged him.

Catherine shook her head and said clearly, "I'm your servant now. I've never seen a lord leading his servants away."

"Okay, let's go."

Li Peijun rolled his eyes, and opened the door first, followed by Catherine after squeezing back the hair that ran out from the brim of the helmet.

Although the Posang family is a prominent family in the city and is in charge of the Chamber of Commerce in Harfleur, they do not have their own fiefdom and can only live in the city.

Relying on the location described by Father Marcel, Li Peijun quickly found it along the signs, and the outside looked no different from the surrounding houses.Light and simple wooden big house, several buildings are connected together, there is no gap in the middle, this is where it can be slightly distinguished from the surrounding houses.

Li Peijun walked towards the building half a floor higher in the middle, guessing that it should be the main house, and knocked on the door.

After waiting for too long, there was a reply from inside the door. After Li Peijun reported his identity, he was unimpeded. The person who opened the door should be a servant. The tablecloth around his waist has not been taken off, and his thin body does not look like It's what a wealthy family should look like.

"My lord, what wind brought you here."

The eldest son of the Posang family walked out of the inner hall. He had the same brown-yellow hair as a lawyer, and his thick eyebrows and big eyes made Li Peijun suspect that he looked like a defendant being summoned in court.

"As a newcomer, it is natural to run more diligently and learn more about the situation, so as to facilitate production in the future." Li Peijun quickly entered the state, showing his due majesty.

The eldest son of the Possang family smiled and greeted warmly: "If you come from far away, please come inside and talk."

From the outside to the inner hall, Li Peijun was looking at the interior furnishings along the way. Although the house looks the same from the outside except that it is a little newer than other houses, the interior furnishings are unique. Very elegant.

"Mr. Possant, I didn't expect you to have a special liking for artworks. From the porch corridor to the meeting hall, I have seen at least a dozen or so paintings."

Li Peijun pointed to the portraits on the wall. Although they were all painted in the same style as the series of Our Lady of Jesus, each painting was depicted as if they were on the scene.

"No, it's just a bad taste that is not worth mentioning. Please sit down, my lord." Possant was modest and continued to show his friendship as a landlord.

The maid entertained the distinguished guests with fruit and fruit wine. Li Peijun didn't like to drink too much for fear of delaying his business, so he just pretended to be.

"Mr. Posang, why have I never seen the head of the family? I only see you showing up every time." Li Peijun has always been curious about this question.

Possant pretended to be elegant and picked a grape and threw it into his mouth. He said casually: "Father is old, and it is not convenient for him to walk around because of his illness. He fainted, so he entrusted me to deal with all major and minor matters."

"Please worry about it." Li Peijun said politely, but he had another thought in his heart.

"Don't you have a younger brother? If you are too busy, you can give him some care. They are young and energetic." Li Peijun took the opportunity to test his tone.

Possang looked distressed, but he still pretended to be calm, "My younger brother is not going to do anything, and the family will be separated in the future. It's not easy for him to get involved in these matters. He has his own life, and I don't want to interfere."

When Li Peijun heard this, he meant it clearly, so he couldn't continue to ask, so he took another sip and began to change the subject.

"Mr. Possant, you are the head of the chamber of commerce, so you are naturally the clearest about the business situation in the city. Can you give us an overview of the situation?"

"Naturally, it was not very prosperous. During the time when pirates were frequently invading, no one dared to do business. In terms of taxation, it was about [-] soles a month, which was still worse than that in Honfleur. .”

"Except for the self-produced aquatic products, the types and quantities of other commodities in the city are extremely small. Many of them are transported here from nearby cities and manors, and the prices are naturally a bit more expensive."

Like another simple and honest Possant, this strong Possant is also eloquent in his old business. Li Peijun has a general understanding of the current industrial and commercial situation in the city.

"In the situation you mentioned, where there is a shortage of materials, rare goods, and poor circulation, do you want to establish a planned economy?" Li Peijun said with interest.

"Planned economy?" Passant was very unfamiliar with this term.

"It means that all materials are allocated uniformly and priced uniformly."

The planned economy is not simply simple pricing and unified distribution. It is to formulate the corresponding ratio and price according to the output and consumption of each product. It is really a huge project to calculate it. It just so happens that Li Peijun's system happens to be have this skill.

After thinking about it, Li Peijun realized that something was wrong. After all, the Middle Ages was not a unified regime. These merchants belonged to their own jurisdiction in name, but they were actually independent units. Driven by profit-seeking To do it is to cut off other people's money, and it is popular.

"Forget it, just pretend that I didn't say that sentence just now."

Li Peijun looked at Possang's furrowed brows, hesitant to speak, but he spoke to dispel the idea himself, so as not to make the atmosphere too embarrassing.

The two exchanged pleasantries again and said something casually. Seeing that the time was almost enough, Li Peijun got up and said goodbye. When he went out, he ran into the simple and honest Posang who had just returned. The smelly body odor made Li Peijun subconsciously walk away. a few steps.

"Paussant, have you gone to dig out the excrement? Why is it so smelly?"

Passant reported with a smile on his face: "My lord, after I handed over the livestock to Birmingham, I saw that they were busy digging the cesspit, so I also went up to help, but my hands and feet were a bit awkward. If you don't pay attention..."

Li Peijun ordered in a strong nasal voice: "Don't go back, I think your family will kick you out if you look like this, jump into the sea and take a bath, remember to wash clean."

"Yes, my lord." Passant drove away the buzzing flies beside him, and made a simple salute.
