i have a shelter.

"My lord, you are joking. The current continent is not a few decades ago. There is no risk in doing business abroad." Gail said, "It is inevitable that some people will take risks for profit, or some lords will suddenly defect. But the risks How big is the benefit. Those of us who eat this food put our lives down the moment we go out. But for those who are not friendly, we will also make a wanted list. For example , if I die, then the next person in charge of the road will definitely hand over the list to you, or Duke Adeline. As friends of the Chamber of Commerce, if you help the Chamber of Commerce, the Chamber of Commerce will give corresponding help paid."
George nodded, understanding what he meant.
Using profit to drive a sharp sword is a common method used by businessmen.
If he knew who had killed the businessman, making it difficult for his territory to exchange for urgently needed supplies, then he would definitely put the extermination of the trade robbers as the top priority.
Following the conversation, the twelve tents in the entire camp have been seen several times.However, George didn't mean to stop, and continued to stroll leisurely.
It wasn't until he saw a sweaty Martin waving to him in the distance that he finally stopped and chatted with the merchant about the price of the goods.
The businessman had previously given him a list just after he had collected his taxes.
When he saw the list, he almost picked up the hammer.
The above price is no longer ridiculously expensive.Moreover, this businessman seemed to have hit his vitals as if he really needed something most urgently.
Slaves should actually be the least valuable now, and the lords of various territories would never take in these useless refugees.However, the price the businessman gave him was four or five times more expensive.
As for those skinny horses, they were sold at a price several times higher than war horses.
But what made his heart tremble the most was the iron mine.
With the productivity of this world, iron ore, a strategic material, was terribly expensive in the first place, but now, because there are no people to work, and the merchants deliberately drive up the price, the price is simply sky-high
On the contrary, the price of food is extremely low, but it is only charged, not sold.
George picked up the list in his hand again, with a mocking smile on his face, looked at the person in front of him and said, "Gail, you do have a lot of things here. But a lot of things are completely waste. Are you sure you really want to keep them with you?" Are these worthless things, eating and drinking all the way, going to the City of Windsong?"
"My lord, I'm afraid my point of view is completely opposite to yours. I know what is urgently needed in every place I will visit. Unless there is such a thing, the lord and the people have never prayed to God." Gail showed a confident and playful look. Come on with a smile, he meant very clearly, don't play these poor negotiation skills with me.
He said, "My lord, look at those horses. For you, I wasted my time, bypassing the dangerous necropolis, and went to the barren and inhabited ranch in the north of the valley. In addition, I deliberately After persuading those lords, the most anticipated population is 20 yuan for a serf from Silver Fox. This price is very fair. Of course, if you really don’t plan to buy these things, it doesn’t matter, just count me as a waste A little time and spit."
This profiteer spread his hands and made it very clear that I didn't spend much on these things. If you don't buy them, I won't lose much money.
But he was sure that the lord in front of him needed these things urgently.
Obviously, this businessman, like George, is also a hooker.He heard everything George said every night.
"Indeed, Gail." George nodded. He could not deny that this profiteer had indeed caught his pain point. "But you think, people and food, which one is more expensive?"
"Hehe, my lord. It depends on which territory it is in." Gail laughed.
"However, Mr. Gail. There is no waterway to go from here to Wing the Wind City." Speaking of this, George put his arms around Gail's shoulders, "Gail, you really care about this first big order. It even made you come two days late to bring this group of people, the speed of the carriage has slowed down a lot, of course, those foods are very cheap on your list anyway, so there is nothing wrong with wasting a little more."
"My lord, I never buy or sell by force, and doing business is also risky. If you really don't want to exchange the useless things in your hands for useful ones, then I have no choice but to let you come."
"It's useless Gail, I think your news has fallen behind. The situation in my territory now is very different from the previous few days. A few refugees came from my side two days ago and told me that the coal mine in the south There are a lot of young and strong laborers inside, and the guards there are not as strong as your guards, so if I want serfs, I don’t need to spend money at all. As for the horses, you should have seen it too. My soldiers, but They are stronger than horses. Of course, maybe they are not willing to do this kind of rough work, so these soldiers may come to tell me like those refugees, and they just saw where they can get it without spending money. horses."
Having said this, George looked at Aggie.
Aji opened his mouth and smiled, looking at the horses in the market.
"So, you know what I mean, my friend, as you said, these things are not very important to you, but they are life to me. I can honestly tell you that I really These things are needed. I will do anything to get my people through this winter."
Looking at the lord who suddenly changed his face, the businessman felt chills down his back, and the sweat on the top of his head couldn't help but burst out.He felt a little uncertain, "My lord, this is not what a pious believer should say."
"Damn fat man." Ajipi smiled bluntly, glanced at the fat man from top to bottom with his gloomy eyes, opened his mouth and said, "Before I was forced to become a bandit, I used to be a bandit." A law-abiding citizen."
""
"My friend, as you said, doing business is risky, because the news is different every day, and the prices are also changing every day. However, I guarantee that with my trading plan, not only will it not violate God's will, it will also let Both of us can fill the wallet." After speaking, he laughed and put his arms around Gail's shoulders, and said, "Come on, let's talk about the new transaction method."
George finally sold 125 barrels of the 100-gallon barrels of ordinary wine, some of which were slightly sour. There were about [-] or so barrels in the cellar in the original territory. A dozen barrels of completely rancid wine were blended out.
A dozen or so four-caravans were fully loaded.
These wines were finally exchanged for five loads of cotton, three loads of hemp, three loads of wool, three loads of coal mines, half a load of salt, and a small pile of iron ore.
The most valuable thing here is the iron, which accounts for almost half of the overall value.
As for other things, they are also very urgently needed by the territory.With these cotton, linen and wool coals, people will not freeze to death in winter.
After bargaining, the captain of the caravan's guard stripped off the equipment on his body, and was presented to George as a gift by the businessman with a double-layer rivet chain armor.There is also a long sword.
According to the market price in peacetime, George is not very cost-effective.But the iron mine is indeed in urgent need of supplies, and given the status of the Countess's territory, no one digs it at all.Therefore, in the entire Black Pearl Valley, iron ore can be said to have a price but no market.
So judging from the current situation, the price of the new list is still very reasonable.
Especially for George now, these things can be said to have solved the urgent need. The stone on the plow cart is waiting to be replaced with iron.
According to the rules of this transaction, unless one day I occupy coal mines, iron mines, and salt mines.Otherwise the prices of these things would never come down.It is even possible that the price will continue to rise due to the increasing demand for the territory.
Unless he is willing to give up part of his grace and do a costless business.
The iron ore carts were not fully filled because they were too heavy.The weight of this car traded is about two and a half tons.
According to the estimation of the old blacksmith, although the quality of this cart of iron ore is not as good as that of the Black Pearl Valley, it is still a good ore.The old blacksmith estimated that about 1 ton of iron could be smelted.
As shown on the scroll of the shelter, when these ores were traded, the number of iron also increased by 1023 kilograms.
In fact, the iron content of these iron ores is more than this, but with the current smelting level of the territory, only these can be smelted.
A double-layer rivet mail armor with a hood on the top and a knee-length iron skirt on the bottom is actually about fifteen or sixteen kilograms.And a long sword is actually two kilograms.George estimated that even if he armed all his soldiers to the teeth, the iron used by one person would not exceed 25 kilograms.So these irons are enough for him to arm three or forty people.
Counting farm tools, there are about [-] armed people.
As for salt, because it is coarse salt full of impurities, remove those impurities such as sand, ten catties of coarse salt, that is, six to eight catties of salt.
The residents have to do a lot of work at present, and it is almost appropriate to calculate 10 grams of coarse salt per person per day. More than 100 people consume just over a catty per day.
This half of the carload of salt is about one and a half tons, and this salt is enough for the citizens to use for four or five years.
But if you want cured meat and pickled vegetables, I'm afraid that's not the case.Because according to the situation of these coarse salts, 100 kilograms of cured meat or pickles need at least a dozen kilograms.
Moreover, things like salt are now comparable to gold and silver as a store of value, and can be used as money.In addition, considering that the number of people in the territory will continue to increase in the future, George's demand for salt is extremely eager.
But the merchant can only sell so much, and he will transport the rest to Yongfeng City.
To George's surprise, the merchant wasn't dissatisfied with the small portion of slightly sour wine.
"Although some are a little sour. But these are the most precious and clean water. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the common people have too little money, I would prefer to buy and sell more low-strength alcohol. Rather than those that are extremely expensive brandy." Gail said after tasting the wine in the barrel.
After the goods were settled, they began to talk about the price of the brandy.
After hearing the word water, George couldn't help blinking.Because the wells in the sanctuary were all purified by divine grace, he never realized the importance of water sources.But in fact, even in peacetime, people here are very resistant to drinking hot water. Even in some free cities with chaotic management, garbage is piled up near the water source.Plagues often break out as a result.
So in some periods, water is even more expensive than wine.
