Last night, Chongsheng and Kurong talked with candles.

Ku Rong recalled the two brothers' lives in exile for eight years, and Chongsheng also roughly explained his future plans.

Ku Rong knew that in order to fulfill this great ambition and even ambition, the most important thing at the initial stage was to raise enough money.

The so-called unprofitable can't afford to be early, the sky is not yet dawn, Chongsheng is still sleeping, Ku Rong did not bother, alone with the camel team and horses, with the goods to the morning market.

The morning market on Junguo Yucheng South Street is organized by the Junguo Operations Division.

The seller counts his goods and hands them over to the operation office for safekeeping, and after receiving the signed ticket, he can find a buyer in the morning market.

Buyers need to exchange the silver tickets for them at the Pledge Office of the Operations Division before they can find a seller to trade.

After the buyer and seller reach an agreement, the transaction is carried out at the market trade office of the operation department, which is copied by the yamen of the operation department, and a single transaction is completed.

The ratio of silver tickets to quality tickets is one to one, and the ratio of quality tickets to silver tickets is ten to nine, which is called ticket flowers.

The ticket is composed of three parts: guarantee tax, resettlement tax, and easy market tax.

Junguo is the only two feudal states in the Holy Dynasty that have civil laws outside of criminal laws.

Article 4 of the "Junguo Law Market Chapter" stipulates that all transactions that are not organized by the Junguo Operation Division are black market transactions. Once there is forced buying and selling, fraud and extortion in the black market, the Junguo government will not protect it. Once the black market transaction is reported, Junguo officials will confiscate the funds and goods involved in the trade.

The so-called safeguard tax is a tax that the government guarantees fair and safe transactions.

Article 7 of the "Junmin Law Market Chapter" stipulates that all goods handed over to the Yamen Office of the Operations Department shall be counted and signed for the payment of the bill. The property recorded in the signed document is guaranteed by the Junguo government. In the event of loss, change, escape, etc., the Yamen of the Operations Division shall compensate at 30% higher than the market price.

The so-called resettlement tax, commonly known as the storage fee, is the storage fee.

Article 9 of the "Junmin Law Market Change" stipulates that, with the permission of the "Wen Bo Law" of the Holy Dynasty, Junguo supports all valuable transactions within the territory of Junguo that are subject to the supervision of the Yamen of the Operations Department, and both parties in the Yi City, whether they are bandits or enemy countries, can enjoy fair, just and open transaction protection.

The so-called easy city tax, commonly known as the protection fee, the site fee.

The law of "Jun Min's Law" obviously follows the concept of "private property first" of Nangong Xiu, the most wanted criminal of the Holy Dynasty and the son of the soldier Nangong Sheng.

After the promulgation of the "Junmin Law", Junguo Yucheng became the largest commercial port in the eastern part of the Holy Dynasty, resulting in many benefits such as a sharp increase in transaction volumes, a skyrocketing government income, and the extinction of black market trading.

Of course, Ku Rong did not understand the "Junmin Law", but the Yamen of the Operations Department had a special person responsible for guiding new businesses.

"Forty camels, cover with flowers!" The officials who operated the office shouted loudly, only to see several officials stamping the camels brought by Kurong with red paint.

"Ten vermilion lacquer boxes, filled with white tiger ditch silk from the country, sealed!"

The officials also put an openable seal on the top of the vermilion lacquer box brought by Kurong.

"Eleven black lacquer boxes, containing white porcelain from abroad, on the seal!"

"Eighty-six old blankets, filled with green tea from the middle of the country, sealed!"

After all the goods were counted, the official shouted loudly: "One hundred and twenty-three in the warehouse!" Issuance of a Bill! ”

Everything was fast and efficient, and Ku Rong, who had never done business, was dumbfounded.

With the ticket in hand, the next step is to find the right buyer.

There are all kinds of shops next to the market trade office of the operation department, and there are a bunch of merchants with various flags at the door.

One of the largest banners reads: Thousands of miles of money, thousands of goods are bartered, everything is collected, everything is sold.

Kurong walked in the direction of the flag.

"This merchant, do you want to buy or sell?" A clever merchant came forward to greet him.

"Sell." Ku Rong said flatly.

"What to sell?" The merchant asked with a smile on his face.

Ku Rong didn't answer, but just handed the signed ticket to the merchant guy.

"Big boss! For such a big business, I'll have to call our owner. After saying that, the man handed over the paper ticket to Ku Rong, and then ran into the shop not far away.

After a while, a fat businessman with a mustache and his buddy came running with his buddy while wiping his sweat with a handkerchief.

"Big boss! Slack, slack! Going to the store for tea first? ”

Before the sound arrived, the voice was extremely earnest, but Ku Rong didn't eat it, and said coldly: "No need! ”

"Then let's inspect the goods now?" The fat merchant looked at Kurong's face, the flesh on his face squeezed together, squinting and smiling.

Ku Rong didn't say much, turned around directly, and walked towards the place.

"Go get the abacus, get the account book, and lift the scale!" The fat merchant yelled at the guy and jogged after Kurong.

Kurong was tall and striding a meteor, and the fat merchant had a hard time keeping up, and he was out of breath for a short distance.

After entering warehouse No. 123, the fat merchant began to count the goods with two men, but Kurong did not follow, but just stood at the door and watched.

About half an hour later, the fat merchant came out with an abacus.

"Big boss! I've finished counting and inspecting the goods, and although it's a big business, it's not too big. The fat merchant smiled earnestly, tentatively withering the glory.

"However, the goods are very good, and they are in short supply right now." Seeing that Kurong was speechless, the fat merchant changed his tone.

Ku Rong closed his eyes impatiently as he listened, and the fat merchant continued: "But it is not a good time, but the quality is not excellent. ”

"However, the quality is not bad, at least it is medium."

After a while, the merchant said four times in a row, but Kurong was a little angry, gritted his teeth, and clenched his fists.

The fat merchant immediately changed his words: "But tea and porcelain are definitely of the highest quality!" ”

Kurong suddenly opened his eyes and glared at the fat merchant fiercely.

The fat businessman's face did not change, and he still smiled: "The big boss, I will calculate it for you, you will listen to the price, if it is not suitable, we can discuss it again." ”

"Forty medium-grade lame old camels, weak and infertility, according to the market price of eighty taels of silver." The merchant tapped his calculations as he spoke.

"Seventy pieces of medium-grade coarse cloth and inferior silk, with a single color and rough texture. According to the market price, a horse is ten taels of silver ......" The merchant's fingers were fast, but the speed of his speech was very slow, and he looked at Kurong's face every time he said a word.

"That's it! You say, how much is it?" Kurong couldn't bear it anymore, and he really didn't expect that he would deal with profiteers in his lifetime.

"It's seven thousand six hundred and forty-four two hundred and seventy in total." The merchant pointed to the abacus and showed it to Kurong, who stepped his head aside in disgust.

"Our Ronghua firm is one of the best in the whole Yucheng, and it has always been undeceived, the price is fair, it is easy to make friends, and it is not greedy for profit. This is the first time to do business with the big boss, and I also want to make a friend with the big boss, so we add five to the two, not a fraction. The merchant paused, cleared his throat, glanced at Ku Rong and continued: "I'll give the big boss a whole number, eight thousand taels of silver!" Think it's feasible for the big boss? ”

"Boss! It's a loss! With such a big concession, you haven't discussed it with other shopkeepers! The guy on the side hurriedly stopped.

"Is it your turn to speak? I said yes! The merchant feigned anger and scolded the fellow.

Ku Rong naturally understood in his heart that this was the trickery of the profiteers, but he really didn't want to stay in this dirty market and intrigue with the profiteers, so he was ready to trade immediately, take the money and leave immediately.

Ku Rong was about to nod, suddenly a stone flew in, the speed was not fast, Ku Rong clamped his fingers, and the stone was already in his hand.
