The last 2000 yuan

In the early morning of the next day, the magistrate and the mayor came to visit. They also brought five carts of daily necessities and three empty carriages.

One of the carriages looked very luxurious, not only was it pulled by horses, not mules, but the carriage was also exquisitely crafted, and the curtains were still made of lace.

After the mayor took the initiative to explain, he realized that this most gorgeous carriage is his daily car, and now he is using it as a gift to the passing mage.

Although the other carriages were not as gorgeous as the mayor's, and the carts were not pulled by horses, but by mules, they were durable and spacious, and it was no problem for ten people to fit in one carriage.

The local horses and mules are still somewhat different from the horses and mules on the earth, but their functions and appearance are similar. For the convenience of understanding, the names of the earth are naturally used all the year round.

Each cart is equipped with two mules, and the perennial vehicle is also equipped with two horses.

Just these vehicles and the animals that pull them, this is a lot of property.

As long as mules and carriages are converted into off-road vehicles, and horses and carriages are converted into famous brand sports cars, the local value of these vehicles can be calculated.If many people have a mule cart at home, they can be regarded as a rich man in the local area, let alone a horse-drawn cart.

There is also a car pulled by monsters, the price is about the same as owning a helicopter or even a passenger plane at home.

The mayor looks 50 to [-] years old, with abundant hair, but with deep bags under his eyes. He seemed to have not slept well last night, as if he had painted smoky makeup, and his speech was haggard.

Changnian didn't know what the other party was imagining in one night, he was now considered wealthy, and naturally he would not take what the mayor sent him for nothing - he didn't want to owe these people favors for such a small thing, and let the other party Calculated according to the market price.

The mayor still wanted to give it away for free, but with a perennial embarrassment, the mayor immediately didn't dare to extend friendship, let alone take advantage of Mr. Magician. All supplies were calculated at the purchase price.

With so many supplies, the carriage and mule cart are a bit more expensive, and the other things add up to less than twenty gold coins.

Counting the mule cart alone, an adult healthy mule is worth seven to ten gold, and two mules are worth nearly twenty gold. The carriage is equivalent to a bonus.

Horses are much more expensive, and the price varies according to the breed of horses. The two horses sent by the mayor are good at carrying heavy loads and traveling long distances. One horse costs nearly 160 gold, and two horses cost [-] gold. Six gold.

After all the calculations, he paid the mayor a total of [-] gold all year round, and he was not afraid that the mayor would cheat him, as long as he chose a few items and asked the price from the rule elf, he would know that the price the mayor gave him was really unreal.

According to the overall market average price of Haian Star reported by the rule elves, the price given by the mayor is quite fair, and it has also let me know that the price of food and spices here is much higher than other places, and the price of mules and horses is relatively high. cheaper.

The mayor felt hot while holding the bag of two hundred gold coins.He didn't make much money from this material, but he didn't lose money either.

In fact, the mayor didn't want to charge the two hundred gold at all, he wanted to take this opportunity to get in touch with the distinguished magician, but unfortunately, the young magician didn't want to take any money, and he didn't want to take advantage of it.

All the year round, in front of the townspeople, the Gray Wolf gang was escorted out by Tie Buping and handed over to the mayor and the magistrate, saying only one sentence: "Please punish them according to their crimes."

The mayor and the sheriff hastily agreed.

The Gray Wolf Gang saw the eyes of the two bosses, and they knew that they were finished, and immediately someone fell to the ground.

The townspeople who peeked at the side only felt that their hatred was relieved!

After counting the supplies all the year round, I feel that almost all the things I want to buy are in place. Looking at the shy eyes of the people around me, I don't want to stay in this unknown town any longer.Immediately assign slaves who can drive the carts to set up the carts and prepare to leave.

but!There is not a single slave who can drive a car.

The slaves were ashamed.Tie Buping looked unconvinced, he thought that given him some time, he could tame the mules and horses that pull the cart without being taught.

I don't trust novice drivers all the year round, especially if they haven't even learned how to drive.I discussed with the mayor of the town and said that I wanted to hire a few coachmen and let them teach the iron inequality to drive. When the next town came, he would pay the fare to send those coachmen back.

The mayor was eager to get in touch with Niannian more, but he also wanted him to leave quickly. No matter how conflicted he was, he did not dare to neglect the request of Mr. Magician, and quickly said that he would help find someone.

That's when the bearded man came over.

Early in the morning, his young master happily raised his head to show him the corners of his lips, pointed to the corners of his lips and said, "Look! It's much better, this herbal ointment is really effective. It would be great if I could buy more of it. It will definitely sell well in our South Bank Adventure City."

The beard looks so good, do you still have to hesitate?Immediately rushed to the Gray Wolf Gang's resident with the fastest speed, and was lucky to see the perennial party who was about to leave.

I heard that I have been looking for a coachman to train my subordinates how to drive all year round. Before the mayor looked for him, the bearded man said with great enthusiasm: "Which direction are you going? It happens that our caravan is also going, why don't we go together? There are many experienced drivers in the caravan, and they can just help the brothers train their subordinates. You don’t need to take the trouble to send them back and forth.”

The mayor was angry, didn't he deliberately disconnect him from the mage.But the Kangmu Trading Company is also one of the giants he can't afford to mess with. The Kangmu Trading Company in the town has almost monopolized most of the daily necessities of the townspeople. What a happy ending.The big trading houses that can gain a firm foothold in the chaotic South Bank Adventure City are not ordinary trading houses, and there must be someone behind them.

After hearing it all year round, this method really saves a lot of trouble, so I asked the bearded which direction to go.

The bearded man replied that they were going all the way to South Bank Adventure City, and it would be okay to make a detour on the way.

Looking at the iron uneven all the year round.

Tie Buping nodded. The big lake he was talking about was Nanka Lake on the side of the forest on the south bank, where several vegetable villages were scattered.The South Bank Adventure City is on the south side of Nanka Lake, and their village is on the north side, separated by a Nanka Lake and a huge swamp.

That is to say, they have been walking in the direction of Nanka Lake, and their directions are almost the same. They don't need to separate until they are about to approach Nanka Lake.

Seeing that there is no problem with the direction all the year round, I agreed to the bearded proposal.

It's not that no one doubts why the entourage of the majestic magician doesn't even know the basic skill of driving a car, but who dares to ask?I can only help myself to find a reason, such as these attendants may have just been bought by the magician on the road, or the magician did not need a carriage to go on the road, but now he is going to a crowded place. To cover up people's eyes and ears, they will temporarily find someone to drive and so on.

Then the bearded man strongly praised the usefulness of the grass ointment, and then naturally asked whether he could buy more.

Perennial originally intended to use the grass paste as his first trade item as a "herb dealer", so he naturally had a lively conversation with Lu Hu.

Domineering and cold president?To show the face of the guests?Ignore the suppliers?Rebuke subordinates like grandchildren?Is this a feud or a feud?

People who do business, especially those who do well, know a word: peace makes money.

All in all, he never admits that he is a domineering and cold CEO all the year round, and most of the time he is very "kind", especially when he wants to make money from someone.

The bearded man knew that he was a noble magician all the year round, even if the other party was just a magic apprentice.He called him brother just pretending not to know Niannian's identity, pretending to be close, now seeing that Niannian really doesn't have the slightest bit of contempt for him, and talking with him very affectionately, he couldn't help but feel [-]% fond of Niannian.

However, no matter how much he likes him, in terms of the purchase price of Qingcao Ointment, Lu Hu doesn't make any concessions.

Anyone who believes in the saying "I treat you as a friend (brother) to give you this preferential price" in the mall is a big fool.

While the bearded man praised the green grass ointment, he also said that the green grass ointment is a daily medicine, and if the price is too expensive, it will not be easy to sell. At the same time, he complained about the perennial competition, saying how fierce the competition in the South Bank Adventure City is.

And their home is just a grocery store, and there is no special pharmacy. Some pharmacies with alchemy pharmacists behind them are doing very well. No matter how expensive the medicines in their shops are, people patronize them, but those kind of shops are generally only used by middle- and high-class people. Going forward, ordinary people usually rely on self-healing when they are sick, and if they really want to buy medicine, they will only buy the cheapest herbal medicine.

The bearded man is not afraid that he will change his collaborator after hearing this all the year round. Magicians are very proud, especially alchemists.He was able to produce green herb ointment all the year round, but he was only a magic apprentice. It was basically impossible to sell the green herb ointment to other alchemist's pharmacies, unless he was willing to work for the alchemist of that pharmacy.

This is the same reason that shops that also make pastries will not just buy pastries from other people's homes to sell, the more they care about their reputation, the more so.

And Kangmu Commercial Bank is a comprehensive commercial firm. Their main business is a grocery store that sells all kinds of things. As long as the grass paste is really effective, it can become one of their products.

All the year round expressed very frankly that he regards the beard as a friend, and is willing to sell the grass cream to Kangmu Trading Company at the price offered by the beard, but does not sign a long-term supply contract, and can only supply the batch on hand for the time being.

Although the bearded man hoped to buy the prescription directly, or get a long-term supply, but the other party was a magic apprentice, he didn't dare to force him, and his generosity all the year round made him even more fond of him.

This goodwill was maintained until the team of Kang Mu Trading Company and the perennial party separated.

Kang Mu Commercial Company provided the coachman and was also in charge of teaching, and did not stay in the unnamed town for many years, and soon set off with the Kang Mu caravan.

The old man from the hotel came early with his grandson, but he saw that the mayor and the sheriff were all there, and his fear of authority made him dare not bring his grandson over to talk to the magician. Mr. Shi was very close, and in the end he could only watch the people who had been with Kang Mu Commercial Company all the year round leave.

The old man didn't live up to it, but his grandson Xiaoyun was bold.

Xiao Yun knew very well that the mayor's son had taken a fancy to their family because of their ability to brew beer. The mayor's son wanted them to donate the brewing recipe, and wanted to turn their family into a beer brewing beer for the mayor's family. Beer workers, if their families cannot withstand the pressure, not only will they lose their profitable business, but they will gradually turn from commoners into slaves of the mayor.

Xiaoyun is still young and doesn't know how to help his family, so coming out to help the family attract guests is the only thing he can do.

And yesterday he saw with his own eyes how the young guest beat the damn gray wolf gang to the ground, and heard from his family that the young master was a noble magician, Xiaoyun felt that this would be his family's escape from the predicament the only chance.

The newborn calf is not afraid of the tiger, which is the current Xiaoyun.

For the sake of his family, in order not to become a slave, and to prevent his mother from being bullied, Xiaoyun broke free from his grandfather's hand and ran towards the master magician at the fastest speed.

"My lord! My lord, wait for me!" the child called while running.

The old man's face turned pale with fright, and everyone was looking at him and his grandson. He wanted to call his grandson back, but his legs were weak and his mouth was too soft to speak.

Looking back all the year round, I saw that little figure running.

The driver of Kangmu Commercial Bank, who has been helping to drive the car all the year round, stopped on the side of the road and waited for the little guy to catch up.

The little guy chased after the car panting, "Big, my lord!"

"What's the matter?" When he got out of the car all year round, he still remembered this little boy. Among the children who solicited business yesterday, this boy cleaned himself up the most.

Xiao Yun plucked up the courage and said the prepared speech: "Can you help tell the mayor that their family will not steal our family's beer brewing formula, and don't turn our family into their workers and slaves?" I, I can give you a reward."

Xiao Yun untied a small basket he was carrying from behind, lifted the cloth covering it, and handed it to Chang Nian.

Half of the basket was filled with hay at the bottom, and a few green stems were planted inside.

He didn't want to be nosy all the year round, but he lamented the courage of the little guy. This kid is seven or eight years old at most, but he is more courageous and upright than most adults.He still remembered that the proprietress' skirt was scratched, and even her husband didn't think of what to do. Instead, the little guy took the clothes to cover his mother, and he didn't look at the iron unequal.

I picked up the small basket all the year round, touched the green stem, and sniffed it, and a record appeared in my mind: hops, also known as hops, can increase the aroma and taste of beer, make the wine clear, and be medicinal. It has the effects of resolving phlegm and relieving cough, invigorating the stomach and eliminating food, calming and lowering blood pressure, etc., and the cuttings survive.

The little guy is equivalent to contributing the secret of his home brewing to him.

He can't laugh or cry all the year round, he has no interest in brewing beer, and he doesn't like to drink that thing.but……

"For the sake of your integrity and courage, I accept your reward and your entrustment. You can go home and rest assured that as long as your family does not cause trouble on its own, no one will come to snatch your family's wine-making formula, nor No one will forcibly turn you into slaves. However, if someone offers a suitable price, as long as it is not an exclusive buyout, your family does not have to stick to the prescription, and only by making money can you make more money."

After accepting the small basket all the year round, he also took out a silver coin from the money bag, carved a square character Chang on the back of the silver coin with the claws of the iron feather bird, and gave the silver coin to the little boy.

"As a souvenir, if you leave the town and see a shop with this mark in the future, you can take this silver coin to find a job." I haven't lied to the boy all the year round. There is no shop now, but there will definitely be one in the future.

"Thank you, my lord!" The little guy was overjoyed, holding the silver coin curiously, without any doubts, bowed to him, and ran away.

The townspeople who noticed this scene were envious of Xiaoyun, and some bold children looked eager to try under the secret push and push of their parents.

Sit back in the carriage all the year round and let the driver set off.

Tie Buping sat beside the coachman, watching carefully how the coachman manipulated the horses.The coachman also dutifully whispered to him some precautions for driving horses and mules.

The coachman also noticed the black eyeballs of the Iron Inequality, but the few people who could be selected by the bearded people were very winking, and they pretended not to see it, and they did not show any discrimination against the Iron Inequality.

The magistrate was afraid that more people would come to take advantage of the Lord Magician, and that he and the mayor would not be able to govern the townspeople in the future, so he looked around coldly.

Immediately, all the townspeople who were about to move were suppressed.

He hadn't seen the magistrate and the mayor secretly intimidate the townspeople all the year round, and he didn't want to take a lot of trouble for himself.

But since he has taken over the matter of Xiaoyun's family, he has to help him solve it.

All the year round, he looked at the mayor and the sheriff who sent them out of the town through the car window. Not sure how much the other party had heard, he raised his voice and smiled at them and said, "That little guy is not bad. Although his old man is a bit stubborn, his family The beer tastes pretty good, and if you manage it well, it might become a specialty of your town."

The mayor smiled badly. He also knew the behavior of the eldest son, but in his opinion, this was a trivial matter. Without this magician, the beer recipe and the family would not last long.

But now that family has entered the eyes of the magician. No one knows whether the magician will pass through this town again in the future, or what he gave the little boy. If the little boy is in danger, will he be able to notify? To this magician?

If you want to do it all year round, you must do your best. He doesn't want to leave sequelae, so he helped to make suggestions and said: "I say, instead of robbing and making people die, it's better to cooperate and win-win, and let their family provide the formula and brewing. Method, you give money, people, places, and dividends when you make money. If you think it’s troublesome, give people a little more money, directly buy the regional exclusive operation and sales rights of the formula, and explain to people that your beer is not sold in the town , but to pull it out. Don’t prohibit people from selling the formula again, at most delineate the sales place. For example, if your family wants to sell beer in the South Bank Adventure City area, ask the store not to sell the formula to people in the same area. In other areas, let him sell."

After hearing this, the mayor suddenly felt his mind broaden.Yes, why should he be confined to such a small town.With their family's financial resources, they can open a pub in other towns or larger cities, or supply beer to local pubs.

As for Nameless Town, how much beer can it consume?Even if he snatches all the business from this town, how much can he earn?

The mayor's unhappiness dissipated, he hurriedly drove the horses to the window of the car, and asked in detail what is the exclusive right to operate in the region, and how to restrict the stores from selling the formula indiscriminately.

I just said a few words casually all the year round.

The bearded man also listened carefully. The words used all the year round are more interesting, but he understands the general meaning.These old business firms more or less understand these small business tricks, such as the exclusive management and sales rights in a certain area, which are similar to the rights granted by the main family to the division.

Not to mention how happy the hotel family was to hear the good news of Xiaoyun's return, but also to say that when they were out of town all year round, they saw a very small and simple temple at the gate of the town.

The whole temple is built of stones, only one meter high, and covers an area of ​​less than two square meters.There is a stone statue of indeterminate gender inside. There is a red cloth cloak tied to the stone statue. There are two pottery bowls in front of the stone statue. One is filled with clear water, and the other is filled with a few slightly shriveled melons and fruits.

The reason why he has noticed this temple all the year round is because he is very familiar with the lines on the base of the stone statue of this temple.

It's like the engravings in the underground space he saw when he first came to this world and woke up.

"What kind of god is that?" Perennial asked the mayor casually.

The mayor felt strange, but he quickly replied: "That is the guardian god, also known as the guardian god of human beings. Put him at the entrance of the town, and it is said that it can prevent the invasion of monsters and non-human robbers."

Knowing that he has shown his feet all the year round, as a local and a human being, how could he not know the guardian god who specially protects human beings?

But all the year round, it was as if he asked very normally, "This stone statue looks a little different from ours. I thought it was a certain characteristic of your local area."

The mayor quickly waved his hands to dispel his doubts, and said repeatedly: "No, no, that is the guardian god. It has been passed down from ancient times to such an image, and his red cloak is the symbol."

Hearing the word "red cloak" all the year round, an image of a foreigner wearing underpants pops up in his mind, almost laughing.

But he couldn't continue to ask further, so he could only write down the name of this god, and planned to find a place like a library in the future to absorb this knowledge.

Otherwise, as a magic apprentice, he didn't know the slightest bit about the gods and spirits in the world, that would be too unreasonable.

Send it to the mouth of the town, so that the mayor and others don't have to send it down all the year round.

The caravan of Kang Mu Commercial Company also got the news in advance and waited outside the town in advance.

Tie Buping watched the mayor and the magistrate leave, and glanced at the stone statue of the guardian god, with disdain and anger in his eyes.

"Fucking patron saint of humans, he has never protected our vegetable race!" Tie Buping's voice was not loud, but full of hatred.

The driver next to him was so frightened that he covered his ears, and what Tie Buping said and did could be considered blasphemy.

He flicked the back of his head all the year round, causing the boy to turn his head and stare at him fiercely.

I have harassed my little slave wife all the year round... Cough, it's my employees, and I went to harass the rule elf, asking if it knew about the Guardian God.

The rule elf replied coldly: "It has nothing to do with magic skills, please explore by yourself."

I have been full of doubts all the year round. It seems that the rule elves are sent by the gods?So are there really gods in this world?

But what kind of existence are gods?Are they really paying attention to the sentient beings in Hai'an all the time?Why did the Vegetable Race fall to the bottom of society?

All the year round, maybe he needs more than a library, he also needs a teacher who is proficient in theology and the history of Hai'an Star.
