Chapter 19 Initial Sight of the Market

Fort Dubai is big and bustling, and there are no thatched houses in sight.

The streets are full of excrement, the prototype of a big city, and most notably, the trading market, which Meron has seen for the first time in the world.

There is a surplus of what people produce, and there will be trade, and in a place like Edinburgh, it would be good not to starve to death, then there is still something to trade, and the two places are not at the same level at all.

Of course, there are very few other territories that can form a trading market, after all, the productivity of this world is generally very low.

After a general look, the things traded in the trading market are basically food and daily necessities, and there are very few other things.

But that's it, Kana jumped up excitedly.

Yalina was no better, although not as good as Kana, but her eyes shone brightly, all revealing excitement.

"Lord Viscount, if there is anything you like to buy a knack, the countess gave me a sum of money when I came out." A man from Central South who looked like a little butler saluted Meron and spoke.

This man Meron has some impression that he is Kaski, the little butler of Edinburgh.

There is more than one steward in the big castle, in addition to the big steward who is in charge of the overall situation, there are also a number of small stewards, who are mainly responsible for purchasing, receiving guests, and guiding guests.

Whether it is a big butler or a small butler, they all have common characteristics, loyalty, etiquette, cleverness, and ability to figure out people's hearts, otherwise it is easy to disgrace the castle if they react slowly and half a beat to worship the lamp.

The original Meron was a ruthless man who had not left the house for eighteen years, and he had never left the castle when he was so old.

If you want something, you either tell O'Bardon or Eliza, and you don't have any idea about money.

When he was in Edinburgh, he asked O'Neid to trade his prey for food, but he didn't hear anything about currency.

Kaski was sent by Eliza to be Meron's guide, and he didn't eat dry food, and he knew Meron's thoughts by looking at Meron's expression, so he bowed and explained: "Lord Viscount, silver can buy things, of course, gold can also be, but gold is much more precious than silver.

Gold and silver were mainly circulated among the nobility, but also among the common people, but to a lesser extent, and they generally bartered. ”

Hearing this, Meron nodded slightly, it seems that this thing is similar to the ancient times of the previous world.

Most of the people of the common people take barter, not because they don't recognize gold and silver, but because they are shy in their pockets, it is purely helpless, and there are also direct exchanges for what they want, and they have to buy gold and silver when they get it, and they directly exchange the trouble of saving money.

"How much silver did Eliza give? How many things can I buy? After a moment's thought, Meron asked.

Yalina also looked at Kaski, apparently she didn't know much about the purchasing power of the silver either.

"The Countess has taken five coins, as for how many things can be bought......" Kaski reached out and took out five shiny metals, and smiled awkwardly, not that five coins were too little to buy much, but that he didn't know how to describe Meron to understand intuitively.

"If you buy food, how long will it be enough for a civilian?"

"According to the standard level of Fort Dubai, five coins of silver is enough for a civilian to live for seven days, but silver is easy to buy, and it is not easy to exchange things for silver, so you can buy more." Kaski thought for a moment and replied.

Meron nodded, and secretly said that Eliza did not give less.

Fort Dubai is more prosperous, the standard of living is high, the consumption is also high, and the standard living standard of the common people is half of the black bread, which is the second grade to catch up with the escort of Edinburgh.

Yalina looked at the shiny silver in Kaski's hand with some surprise, each of which was not the size of a green bean, and could buy so many things.

Women naturally like shiny things, and knowing that they can buy so much food, their first reaction is to want it.

"Give me two silver beans, it should be fine, right?" Meron looked at the silver that Kaski had taken out and lost interest, the purity was too low, but he still spoke.

"Lord Viscount said with a smile, the Countess gave the silver to let the Lord Viscount buy something, which means that the silver is the Lord Viscount's, and if the Lord Viscount wants, it is naturally no problem." Kaski saluted again and spoke.

"I only need two." As he spoke, Meron took two silver beans from Kaski's hand and stuffed them into Alina and Kana respectively.

Kana's little girl carefully held it in her hand and accepted it with peace of mind, but Yalina was a little entangled.

Don't, I really like it, I want it, I'm a little embarrassed.

With a hint of a smile on her lips, Meron ignored Alina and continued to walk forward.

Yalina looked at Meron's back, gritted her teeth and stomped her feet, took out a clean handkerchief and wrapped the silver beans and put them away, comforting herself in her heart that she was the daughter-in-law of the Earl's Castle anyway, and took a silver bean......

When he returned to the castle, it was already dark, and Meron finally realized the power of the woman's shopping, and almost broke her leg.

Meron is sure that if it weren't for the darkness, Yalina and Kana, the two girls, would continue to shop.

"Hey Meron, I haven't seen you for a few months, and I look a lot healthier than I used to be." Just entered the castle, and before Meron could catch his breath, an excited voice came.

Listening to the voice, Meron knew who it was, turned his head to look, and sure enough, he saw Korda coming down from the second floor.

"Thanks to my brother, these few months have been fine, of course, the days in Edouburgh can't be compared with Dubai Fort." After hugging Korda, Meron spoke.

Patting Meron on the shoulder, Korda smiled and nodded at Yalina again, as if he had said hello.

Koda is the heir to the earl, but he is not an earl after all, while Meron is a viscount, Yalina is a viscountess, and the three of them are relatives of the same generation, so they don't need any etiquette between each other.

"Let's go, father and Eliza are waiting in the hall on the second floor, and we're going to have dinner for you."

Everyone went up to the second floor, and sure enough, they saw Bent and Eliza sitting at the table in the hall, and greeted Bent, but Meron couldn't find any other topic, so he could only obediently close his mouth, which was in line with his original image.

Bent had always had a serious face and was a man of few words, and the whole dinner was spent in a dull state.

"Come to my study later, I'll wait for you in my study." Seeing that everyone had almost eaten, Bent said to Meron and got up to leave.

Eliza winked at Meron and told Meron to hurry up.

"I've heard Eliza say about you, and the personnel side can only give you another five-person team, and as for metal materials, I want to hear how you use them." Seeing Meron follow, Bant motioned for Meron to sit down and get straight to the point.

Originally, Meron still wanted to cry and cry poor, counting on Bent to change more under Eliza's blowing, but now it seems that this trick is not very useful, and Bent has already made a decision in his heart.

Of course, Bent can give a five-man team, which is also a bit beyond Meron's expectations, Meron knows that if he is performing well at the moment, he can fight for some in metal.
