Lin Xiao didn't plan to negotiate with the lord here, and after learning some about the situation here, he rushed to the market. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Before entering the bazaar, several guard-like men stood up, and at the front stood a fat man with a bloated figure, who was the tax collector.

The way of taxation here is not to sell one and receive one, but as long as you sell here, you have to pay all taxes, whether you sell them or not.

Although the grain tax is not high, Lin Xiao still needs to pay a tax of 4,000 copper for this cart of grain.

In the Kingdom of Middle Earth, 1 gold bar was equal to 10 silver bars, 1 silver bar was equal to 30 copper bars, and 1 copper bar was equal to 100 copper bars, that is, round coins made of copper.

Gold and silver do not have the concept of coins, after all, the market pays attention to the circulation of copper letters, occasionally copper bars, silver bars are rare.

According to the price of grain in the market, Lin Xiao's red fruits are estimated to be sold for 10,000 copper, and I have to say that this tax is still very high, but it is much lower than other taxes.

After paying the tax, if you want to sell it, you still need a store, which also requires money, and you can also set up a stall, but you have to pay the stall tax.

The taxes also made Lin Xiao unhappy, but he still paid obediently, directly rented a shop, and spent 2,000 copper letters.

The courtyard behind the store was also bought by Lin Xiao, and it cost 1 silver, and the original owner took the money and left excitedly.

The rented shop had nothing, and it still needed to be renovated and purchased furniture, which cost another 2,000 copper letters.

After spending so much money, it was not without effect, I got acquainted with the carpenters and got a lot of market information.

The decoration of the shop is also very atmospheric, and it is more eye-catching than other old stores.

The store opened soon and sold a single product, all of which were red fruits.

In order to open the market, Lin Xiao deliberately lowered the price on the first day of opening, and also engaged in a tasting session, which was very effective, and the red fruit was also very novel, and many guests came.

The taste of the red fruit is good, and every guest who tastes it is full of praise and has the desire to buy it.

A middle-aged man with a full beard asked, "Boss, how do you sell this red fruit?" ”

"10 wen a kilogram, today is 8 wen discount." Lin Xue replied.

"Jin?"

The guests who came were talking about it, they had never heard of this unit of measurement, and they were a little cautious.

You must know that many black-hearted traders will use their hands and feet on this weight unit.

Seeing this appearance, Lin Xiao in the store asked the guards to push him out and said, "Let me explain, 1 catty is equal to your 2 sand ......."

The unit of measurement in the Middle Earth Kingdom is different from that used by Lin Xiao, it is to use sand as a unit, and he has tested that 1 catty is equal to 2 sand.

Lin Xiao didn't plan to use the unit of measurement here, the accuracy of the sand was really problematic, and he didn't know if it was a problem with the measuring tool.

And his use of catties is very accurate, he estimated it, and it is similar to the unit of measurement on the earth, but it is different in details.

In addition to the unit of weight, Lin Xiao is also ready to use his own unit of length, the reason is very simple, the unit of length here is not only not uniform, but also not accurate, not even millimeters.

After explaining some of their units of measurement, they quickly accepted, after all, the same price and weight are about the same.

Due to the price reduction on the first day of sales, coupled with the good taste of red fruits, many people bought them, and they earned 2,000 wen on the first day alone.

Of course, this is the effect of the first day, and it can't go on like this forever, and by the second day, the number of people buying is gradually decreasing.

According to this trend, it is estimated that the average income per day will only be 500 wen in the future.

Lin Xiao didn't come here to do business this time, he also had an important purpose - to buy iron!

Once he had become familiar with the town, he had a rough idea of where he could buy iron.

Walking along the streets of the town, you will enter one of the forks in the road and you will see a shop that sells iron.

According to his understanding a few days, he learned that this shop belonged to the owner of the iron mine in Huangsha Town, and was used to dump iron to earn extra money.

But the amount of iron dumped is not large, and iron is a metal that can be used to make not only tools, but also weapons.

It doesn't matter if the quantity sold is not much, a large number of sales are very sensitive, and Lin Xiao needs a very large amount, and he is a little annoyed when he sees this situation.

He didn't plan to give up, he went to buy iron ore, built a good relationship with the owner of the shop, Horch, and even bribed the other party with a lot of money.

Under the temptation of money, Horch was still moved and handed over a note.

It says that the mine produces a lot of output, and he can find an excuse to ship out an extra batch every month, which can smelt about 1,200 sand iron, that is, 600 kilograms of iron.

Lin Xiao was not very satisfied with this amount, but he still accepted it, after all, he was very short of iron.

In order to pull Hosh onto the thief ship, he is willing to buy iron ore at a price 10% higher than the market price, so he doesn't have to worry too much about the other party's backlash.

You must know that the extra coins are all in Horch's pocket, unless he wants to cut off this financial route.

A few days passed, Huo Xi greeted in advance and agreed on a remote location to trade, Lin Xiao sent scouts to reconnoiter first, and only after making sure that there was no problem, did he go.

A moment later, Lin Xiao and several guards came to a small hillside a few kilometers away, where no one usually came, let alone in the evening.

There were 4 guards standing beside Horch, all armed, and it seemed that the other party was still very concerned about his own safety.

"Mr. Lin, you're finally here."

Horch was a little excited, and walked over as he spoke.

"Stop, if you want rabies, don't come any closer." Lin Xiao reminded weakly.

"Rabies?"

Huo Xi looked puzzled and looked at Lin Xiao puzzled, wanting to hear his explanation.

Seeing this, Lin Xiao coughed a few times and said:

"I have a disease, normal people can get infected as long as they get too close, and after infection, they will become like a mad dog, and they will die violently within three days!"

"These people around me have also had this disease, but because they have been cured by taking medicinal herbs, they will not be infected again, but unfortunately these herbs have become extinct......

Speaking of this, Lin Xiao paused, looked at Huo Xi, and said in a weird manner: "If you also want to be infected, you can get closer." ”

Lin Xiao's current appearance is indeed like a patient, he can feel the chill just a little closer, and it can't be pretended.

"That's still not necessary...... Huo Xi hurriedly waved his hand, and subconsciously took a few steps back.

These were all seen by Lin Xiao, and they were not broken, anyway, they had already achieved the results they wanted.

The atmosphere at the scene was a little awkward, Huo Xi hurriedly came to the carriage, opened a corner, and signaled to Lin Xiao.

Through this corner, it can be seen that it is all iron ore, Lin Xiao nodded, and said, "Xiaoxue, take out the boxes on the carriage." ”

When Lin Xue heard this, she turned around and took out a wooden box from the carriage, and after opening it, it was full of silver bars.

Horch's gaze was fixed on it until the wooden box was closed.

The two sides then began to inspect the goods, and after ten minutes, they exchanged goods with each other.

Buying this iron cost Lin Xiao most of the money he got from the desert bandits, but it was also worth it for him!
