Haha, boss, you have such a good sense of humor. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

"No, what I said is true. ”

Niza's expression froze, and she could no longer speak.

"Hey, poet. Mu picked up the paper in Niza's hand, looked it up and down, and continued, "Are all the poems you sing these days written by yourself?"

"Not exactly. The poet replied without any scheming, "Sometimes, we also borrow from other people's works, for example, if you read this book." ”

As he spoke, he took out a booklet that was not too thick from his arms and handed it to Mu.

Mu Na is in his hand, the cover is very delicate, and there is a gold wire border, and the carvings on it are still clearly legible even after a few tosses.

He turned a few pages and found that this was not a collection of poems, but a diary, although it was not famous, but judging from the content and Junhua's handwriting, it was still the diary of a noble lady. It's just that this diary is not a flat and straightforward narrative, but a poem that writes the little things of the day into poems, which are not as thick as epics and not as sweet as love poems, giving people a sense of freshness after the rain.

"Hehe, boss, you can see where these poems are. ”

Mu was dumbfounded, "This is not an ordinary poetry collection, where did you get it?"

"It seems to be in Suno," Niza thought for a moment, "I fought valiantly for a lady, and I desperately caught a thief, and this is my trophy." ”

"Ha, you're in luck. ”

"Isn't it, this cover is worth a lot of money. Niza laughed, "What's more, the contents of it have simply opened the door to a new world for me!"

"Well, I think it's good too, how about it, don't you sell it?"

"It's not going to work, it's my baby. ”

"100 dinars?"

Niza shook her head.

“500？”

Niza hesitated, but shook her head.

"Boss, do you know how difficult it is for those of us who make a living from writing to get a book that we like?"

“1000？”

Niza swallowed, but struggled to swing her head to the sides.

"1500?, can't be any higher"

"Deal!"

Niza ran away happily with the money bag, and Mu, holding the booklet, smiled helplessly, and didn't know whether the business was a loss or a profit. Paravon, the capital of the Kingdom of Karadia and the direct domain of King Haraus. Its status as the capital was given to Haraus after he wore the crown, and it was only honored for two years, until then the capital of Swadia had been the city of knights, Suno.

Of course, Paravon is also a very prosperous city and has excellent geographical advantages. Situated next to a bay to the west of Svadia, it enjoyed the riches of maritime trade, which meant that as long as the bay was not blocked, the city would never be short of supplies. And this bay is its natural barrier, because of this bay, the Nords who crossed the mountains could not directly reach the city of Paraven, and Fort Repolet and the village of Costsmo would become their natural outposts. If the Nords wanted to attack from the sea and land near Paravon, they would be spotted by the defenders of Dvalinburg the moment they entered the bay. In the other two directions, Suno and Uxhall were in front, so no matter which direction the enemy attacked, Paravon would not be taken advantage of, and if he wanted to capture Paravon, he could only fight for his life to defend it. And Haraus has been running Parabun for so many years, and his garrison can be described as impregnable, so whoever the lord wants to do something in Parabun, he has to think twice. However, the location is not without its drawbacks, the only downside is that it is too far away from other cities in Swadiaa.

Of course, these are all things for lords and generals, and as a businessman, Mu will only think about one thing, and that is the dinar, and Paravon also has quite a lot of business to do.

After the enthusiastic Nord man helped Mu unload the goods into the warehouse on the shore, he set sail and said goodbye. After all, there is still a big war to be fought on the archipelago, and for these war maniacs, they don't want to miss this honor. And the bard also left after singing a short parting tune, and looking at his not very bright legs and feet, Mu knew that the bastard had taken his words for deaf ears. The one-eyed dragon disappeared with his little brother again, and he didn't know if he caught any prisoners along the way, and I don't know why they went, so now Mu, there are only two people around him who can fight, Bandak and Agna.

Mu scratched his head and sighed, sometimes he really wanted to get rid of the one-eyed dragon's gang.

"Hmmm... Boss," Aigna spoke again, "I'll stay here and guard the goods for you, I... ”

Mu turned around, his expression a little intriguing, "What's the matter, my eldest lady?"

"I... I... Her gaze wandered, at this time, she was not wearing a helmet, so Mu Neng could clearly see the embarrassed expression on her face, "Paraven is not very friendly to me, so... ”

If another guy had said that, Mu would have decisively fired him, except that the person who said it was Agna, a lady who might have a claim to the throne of Svadia.

"You seem to have gotten something wrong, Agna. Mu smiled and said, "The chamber of commerce in Paravon is not in Paravon City, so we don't need to go into the city." ”

"Huh?" Aigna was visibly stunned.

"Well, my uncle mentioned this to me when he was drinking before," Aigna didn't expect to be answered by Bandak, a taciturn honest man who had never had a high presence in Mu's caravan, "It seems that the lords here are going to raise land taxes, so the Chamber of Commerce moved out." ”

"That's right," Mu continued, "that Haraus had just ascended the throne at the time, and within a few days he had declared war on Rhodok in the name of revenge. In order to raise funds for the war, he announced that a land tax would be levied on all property in Paravon. The president of the Parabun Chamber of Commerce, Gwenson, was a fierce man, and in a fit of rage, he moved the chamber of commerce from the city of Parabun to the port of Paraven. ”

Aigna was stunned, and then smiled, "This can be regarded as being smart, but being clever and mistaken." ”

"Of course," Mu smiled back, "but President Gwenson soon discovered the benefits of doing so. ”

"Oh?" said Agna.

Mu continued, "The main crops produced here in Paravon are crops and their subsequent products, such as wheat, flax, and ale. ”

"Before the Chamber of Commerce moved out, farmers, merchants, and distillery owners were charged a fee for entering the city, which in turn was determined by the value of their goods. Therefore, after moving out, because they no longer have to pay the entrance fee, these businessmen are more and more willing to trade with the Chamber of Commerce, and the Chamber of Commerce also makes a lot of money. ”

Then Haraus must have died of tears. "Aigna seems to be happy.

"That's right," Mu himself didn't have a good impression of Harlaus, and naturally he didn't have any dissatisfaction with Agna's language, but he also showed a gloating smile, "Harlaus ordered him to return to the city many times, but Gwenson didn't pay attention to it at all, after all, the port of Paravon is not a territory of Paravon, and Gwenson himself is a small nobleman, and Harlaus can't take too drastic measures." ”

"You don't like Harlaus either?" asked Aigna suddenly.

"Of course. Mu replied affirmatively, "This old bastard is too greedy, and the rent of the house in the city is so expensive that I can't even open a shop in it." ”

Aigna smiled knowingly.

Between the jokes, the Chamber of Commerce is already close at hand. Unlike other local chambers of commerce, there were several heavily armed soldiers standing guard at the entrance of the Paraven Chamber of Commerce, and a patrol approaching from the direction of the warehouse. Seeing Mu walk in, the guy from the Chamber of Commerce greeted him and said attentively, "Sir, do you need anything?"

"Of course. Mu bypassed the guy and quickly glanced at the price board.

"Hmm, the price of velvet is so low, oh!" Mu patted his head, and then remembered that although neither side had the ability to attack again, Svadia and Nord had not stopped fighting yet, and it seemed that Velvet still had to be dragged to Tulga or Zhivadin.

As for Salander's pottery, the price is a little low, but this is normal, after all, they are indeed a little behind.

Other... His eyes swept over the price of food.

Hey, the price of wheat has only risen by less than 10 percent? Now that we are at war, how can it be so stable? If it were left to other kingdoms, the price of grain would have soared to sky-high at this time.

"That's it," Mu instructed the man, "sell four sets of Salander pottery, and then buy it... Forget it, I'll write it to you. ”

"That's better, sir, please, the pen and ink are ready. ”

Mu took the two into the Chamber of Commerce, found a table and sat down, the guy with quick hands and feet had already brought paper and pen, Mu thought about it, quickly wrote down the goods on the paper, and then signed the name, dried the ink, and handed it to the guy.

"Just press this, and write the location of the warehouse at the end. ”

"Good!" said the man, glancing quickly at the list, and then a little embarrassed, "Sir, wheat and flax are easy to say, but this ale... You specify the next summer winery, you know, the next summer winery is very popular, this batch has been sold out. So, can you replace it with wine from Aguerdelon Winery?"

"Aguerdron?" Mu frowned, "The quality of that winery's wine is not very good, and you can't make much money by pulling it out." ”

"Don't worry," the guy squeezed his eyes, "we can use the casks of tomorrow summer to fill the wine with you, and make sure it doesn't sink before drinking." ”

Aigna frowned and turned her head to stare at Mu, as if waiting for him to make a decision.

Mu sighed, "For the Grinder Distillery, there should always be this." ”

"Well, listen to you. ”

Seeing Mu sign the receipt, Aigna suddenly said, "I didn't expect you to have some virtues in your heart, which really surprised me." ”

"Although the merchants are cunning, you are too much to say!" Mu rolled up the receipt and stuffed it into his pocket, "Moreover, you have to believe that how can a businessman do something that is not conducive to his own money?"

After waiting for a long time, Mu didn't hear Agna reply, so he asked, "Why didn't you ask me, how can you make money?"

Aigna rolled her eyes, "Are you sarcastic again?"

Bandak behind him laughed out loud without hesitation.

Mu Lao's face flushed, coughed lightly, and still explained, "In the eyes of merchants, there are few things more valuable than the dinar, except for one thing, and that is credit. "Credit?" Agna tilted her head, with an expression that you were teasing me, "The merchant thinks that credit is more important than the dinar?"

Mu touched his nose and was a little embarrassed, "Of course, I don't deny that some people make a living by cheating, but you can look at the people who can really do business, and you will find that they have a very good reputation without exception." ”

"Including the Salanders?" said Agna scoffed.

"Including the Salanders. Mu replied seriously.

Looking at Agna's expression of disbelief, Mu shrugged, "It seems that you don't believe it, especially after the incident with Sultan Hakim. ”

"Of course. ”

"Okay, let's tell you that," Mu Si thought for a while and said, "The Salander people's understanding of the word credit is a little different from ours, to put it simply, before signing the contract, I will not damage your reputation, but after the contract is signed, even if you are bankrupt, you must complete the contract." They call it the 'spirit of contract'. ”

Aigna frowned, "Really?"

"Isn't it?" Mu continued, "You see, after I have singled out all the problems with Hakim's contract, he has not completed the contract honestly? at most, he used his noble privileges to take two more horses from me. That's why, even if the Salanders are so annoying, they can still do business all over the continent. Because no matter how treacherous they are, no matter how cunning they are, at least, they are still reliable. At this point, the Nords are not doing very well. Thinking of the naval battle that night, Mu couldn't help but sigh.

Aigna just nodded, "I'll see it with my own eyes." ”

Mu shrugged, the lady in front of him was a standard knight, and she would never assert anything lightly.

After walking together for a while, Aigna suddenly said, "You said about the Grinder Distillery... Is the wine there good, and how does it compare to the one next summer?"

"Well, you've drunk next summer's ale?"

"I'm also a Ryrdian, okay?" Agna glared at Mu with disgust, and continued, "I've drunk Aguerdron's wine, and it's a good match with shabu-shabu water, and even the poor, drunkards, and unsophisticated Nords will drink it." ”

"I said, is it really good to be a Black Nord like this?"

"That's what it is!" Aigna retorted, "can they really taste the wine by the way they drink like water?" Oh, by the way, you haven't answered my question, what about the ale at the Grinder Distillery, how come I haven't heard of it?"

"Looks like you've been wandering outside for a long time," Mu thought back, "The Grinder Distillery was only built last year, and the owner is a retired cavalryman. Their ale wine is made with a unique recipe from her wife's family, and although the taste is similar, the aroma is more fragrant. In addition, the couple creatively added blue daisies to the wine, which changed the wine from golden to a beautiful turquoise, and at the same time, the wine also had a floral aroma for a very unique taste. ”

"Sounds good," Aigna lamented, "and I can't wait to try it." ”

"yes, I can't wait. ”

As soon as the female voice fell, the fragrance came, and a hand grabbed Agna's throat from behind, and then she felt a cold hard object pick up her chain mail and press against her back.

The mutation suddenly occurred, and Bandak immediately raised the big crossbow that had already been loaded with arrows, while Mu was a beat slower and just put his hand on the hilt of the sword.

"Don't move!" the assassin suddenly shouted, it was the same woman's voice just now, "If you move again, I'll stab her to death, and tell your people to put down their crossbow arrows!"

Seeing that the assassin had hidden his entire body behind Agna and glanced at Bandak covertly, the honest man shook his head at him, and he had no choice but to say, "Put it down." ”

Bandak lowered his crossbow machine, but still watched the Assassin warily.

"Tell him to loosen the strings!"

Bandak looked at Mu, Mu was helpless, and nodded again. The former God-Eye sniper had no choice but to let go of the crossbow string in resignation.
