The next day, a caravan arrived in Locketown, making the peaceful town bustling with activity in an instant.

The caravan was not very large, with ten wagons and twenty or thirty people.

Chen Yiyi inquired that the caravan was from Crescent City, and it was a caravan formed by three merchants. There were a few small vendors in it, bringing some small goods such as needlework and thread, which attracted many townspeople to come and buy them.

However, the townspeople of Locke Town generally do not have much money, and the main transaction is between them and the Baron.

He had heard Amy, the maid who served him, say that in the past, caravans used to come once every six months, and at the end of spring and autumn, when the blue olives were harvested.

Locketown, or the Baron's main source of income, is blueolive oil.

And now it's just summer, and the blue olive has not yet borne fruit.

"Could it be something that Viscount Sean is trying to plot?"

He had some guesses in his mind.

The caravan stayed in town for only one day, and the next morning, it was about to leave. Chen Yi had the baron's recommendation, and the head of the caravan quickly agreed to let him set off with the caravan.

He brought a lot of dried meat, and used it to open the way, and within a few days, he was familiar with everyone in the caravan.

In this era, those who dare to come out to be merchants are people with a very adventurous spirit, who travel from south to north, and their knowledge is not comparable to those townspeople who have been trapped in one territory all their lives. didn't show too much rejection of his unusual appearance.

He chatted with the people in the caravan whenever he could, whether it was the caravan's leader, the small traders who followed the caravan, or the ten mercenaries who provided protection for the caravan.

From them, he learned that although Crescent City was the largest city in the surrounding area, it was nothing in the entire kingdom, but it was only somewhat famous in the southwest of the kingdom.

"Those are the robbers?"

Chen Yi pointed to the edge of the woods not far away, the "robbers" in ragged clothes and armed with rudimentary weapons. Ask one of the guards next to you.

The guard said lazily, "Those are wild people who have escaped from their territory, and often rob those who pass by. But don't worry, they are like hyenas, and they don't dare to mess with a caravan with strong force. But if there are few people, they will rush up and snatch everything they can. ”

Chen Yi looked at those people, a little silent.

After that, the caravan encountered several waves of such wild people. This made him a little lucky, but fortunately he chose to go with the caravan in the first place. If he had gone alone, the wild people would have come to raid him.

With his strength, these people came over, but they were just sent to death. It's just that as a modern man who grew up in peacetime, he is unwilling to kill people unless necessary.

…………

Twenty days later, the caravan passed through three territories and finally arrived in Crescent City. It was a real castle with walls made of stone three meters high and its gates guarded.

These guards were responsible for checking the pedestrians and caravans entering and leaving the city gates, as well as collecting taxes.

Before entering the city, Chen Yi dyed his hair brown in order to avoid trouble, so that his appearance was not so eye-catching.

After paying ten copper coins to enter the city, he entered the city. Say goodbye to the caravanserais, put on a cloak and mask, and disappear into the city.

Half an hour later, he came to a small hotel, and after paying the deposit and rent, he was taken to a room, and when the boss left, he locked the door and returned to the transit space.

He came to the corner, where there were a dozen sacks full of things, and he took one of them down, and untied the bag, and it was all white and full of silver coins.

He looked at the silver coins, his eyes glowing.

Such a sack is 10,000 silver coins. Fifteen bags in total, not 150,000 pieces. He commissioned a small processing plant to make it.

Now the price of industrial silver is only three or four yuan a gram, and counting the processing fee, it cost him more than 700,000 yuan in total.

The more than 700,000 yuan was raised by selling the gold coins he had collected from Old Willy.

As for why these silver coins were created on Earth, the answer is simple, to exchange them for gold coins.

According to the exchange rate of another world, ten silver coins are exchanged for one gold coin. That is, these silver coins can be exchanged for fifteen thousand gold coins.

So, how much are fifteen thousand gold coins worth on Earth?

The answer is more than 30 million.

The cost of minting silver coins is only more than 700,000 yuan, as long as it is exchanged for gold coins, once it changes hands, it is more than 30 million. What a horrible profit.

What's even more terrifying is that this kind of business can be done forever without just doing this order.

In fact, when he learned about the exchange rate of gold and silver coins in this world, he knew that he had found the easiest way to earn money. It may even be the fastest way to get money.

He didn't have to think about what to trade from the earth. You only need to earn the first pot of gold, and the next thing is to keep minting silver coins and exchange them for gold coins in another world.

You know, gold is hard currency, and there is no more insuring commodity than this.

Although he did not understand why the exchange rate of gold and silver in this world was so deformed. But there is such a simple way to make money, and it would be foolish not to take advantage of it.

He picked up a bag of silver coins, returned to the hotel in another world, opened the door, passed the noisy tavern on the first floor, and walked outside.

When he was in the caravan, he inquired and knew which chambers of commerce in Crescent City were stronger and had better reputations. In fact, as long as there is a certain scale of chamber of commerce, there must be a big nobleman standing behind it. Otherwise, those nobles would have been left with no bones left.

He walked into a chamber of commerce called "Hollins", did not look at the goods inside, and said to the clerk who greeted him, "Take me to meet your principal, I have a business to discuss with him." ”

When the clerk saw that he was wearing a cloak and covering his face, but he was dressed extraordinarily, and that he was holding a knight's sword in his hand, he was a little uncertain, and said cautiously, "Please come with me." ”

The clerk took him to the back and sat down before saying, "I'll go tell the steward." ”

After a while, a shrewd middle-aged man walked out and looked at him, especially the knight's sword in his hand and the sack under his feet, with a smile on his face, "This distinguished guest, I don't know what business you have to take care of us?" ”

"I'd like to exchange it for some gold." Chen Yi didn't talk nonsense, and said straight to the point, "Use this." With that, he tossed a silver coin.

The middle-aged steward took it, looked at it, and judged that it was a silver coin in perfect condition, and more importantly, very new, as if it had just been struck.

His face showed a sad look, "This, our Chamber of Commerce, has never done this kind of business." ”

"Here are 10,000 of these silver coins, for 950 gold coins. Do you do this kind of business? ”

The middle-aged steward's eyes lit up, and he said without hesitation, "Do." ”

Chen Yi stretched out a finger, "I'll give you an hour." ”

"No problem."
