Chapter 45: Four Wild Castles

From the wilderness of Blackstone Town to Siye City, there are road markings along the way, such as trees, stone pillars, and the like. These were done when the countryside was opened up to facilitate people's transportation.

As for the road, there is none. Therefore, on the road, you must be careful to guard against the attacks of monsters and robbers.

Maybe it's because the neighborhood is too poor and the robbers don't bother to come, Zheng Haoyu and the others didn't encounter any danger along the way.

After a day of traveling, Siye Castle has arrived!

Siye Castle sits on top of the wilderness, and the surrounding area has been carved out as farmland. The castle, on the other hand, is surrounded by walls and moats.

Zheng Haoyu looked up at the tall city wall made of stones, and he was quite emotional. It is worthy of a world with vitality, and the walls of this small city are comparable to the Great Wall!

On the city wall, there are also guards with guns. Every guard is at least a military general, and the captain of the guard is a military general above the fifth heaven.

However, Zheng Haoyu noticed that the clothes of these guards were not uniform, and there were no standard armor and weapons. It seems that the lord of Siye City is not very wealthy.

The gates of the city were guarded by guards. However, there is no need for any entrance fee or anything like that, but to compare the appearance of the people entering the city.

Because at the city gate, there are some portraits of robbers that are difficult to distinguish, Zheng Haoyu really doubts, relying on this simple portrait, can he really distinguish robbers, or is it just a deterrent?

"Siye City is so big!" Da Niu and the others also entered the city for the first time, and everything was curious.

Zheng Haoyu is the same, fortunately, he has long been mentally prepared, and he is not very exaggerated like the big bulls.

In the city, there are plans for streets and residential areas. The residents who can live in the city and are protected by the guards should be the wealthier residents in Siye Castle recently, and their clothes are more high-end than the villagers.

Here, Zheng Haoyu even saw some passers-by wearing silk satin, probably local wealthy people.

The bazaar in Shiye City is ten times larger than Blackstone Town, with several streets. For example, in the Xuanyuan Continent, iron striking and weapon shops occupy a special street.

Selling martial arts exercises and cultivation resources occupies another street, and then it is a street where miscellaneous goods are sold.

Zheng Haoyu walked around a little, and he was quite satisfied. Doing business here must be more profitable than Blackstone.

And he also found a lot of strange things that are worth studying.

"Find an inn to stay in first, and inquire about everything here. Zheng Haoyu arranged.

A few people found a small inn to live in, and then Zheng Haoyu directly inquired about the shopkeeper.

Siye City, the city lord is called Guan Leopard, and it is said that he is a martial artist powerhouse in the Nine Heavens realm. Combat effectiveness, equivalent to a humanoid tank, no one in the city is his opponent.

It is not difficult to open a store in the city, go to the city lord's mansion and pay a fee, you can rent a shop and start a business, and then pay a tax every year.

It is worth mentioning that the amount of taxes and fees is not calculated according to the turnover of the store, and here, the lord of the castle has no right to know your business. The tax is paid according to the area of the store, and the larger the area, the more you pay. Then those who sell weapons, medicinal herbs, and practice exercises will have to pay half of the tax.

Next, Zheng Haoyu went to the street to inspect the field and see the operation of the shops here.

The most expensive commodity is naturally related to martial arts practice. Other supplies are relatively cheap, but sales are steady.

Zheng Haoyu began to calculate, and it didn't seem to be very profitable to open Dadi Department Store in Siye City. Ordinary materials are cheaper here, and they are collected and sold from Blackstone Town, plus road losses, shop rent, taxes, and employee salaries, they are basically not profitable, and even if the business is not good, they may lose money!

Quenching fluid is a trick, but it certainly can't be as blatant as Blackstone. Zheng Haoyu has already inquired clearly, the quenching fluid in Siye City sells the biggest is the shop opened by the city lord, can he engage in activities like that to steal business? Of course not!

So what kind of business is it? Zheng Haoyu fell into deep thought.

On the street, Zheng Haoyu was hanging out with three guards. They don't understand the big bull, anyway, they just follow Zheng Haoyu.

In the high-end market of those martial arts cultivation resources, Zheng Haoyu doesn't want to do it for the time being, except for quenching body fluid, he has nothing to offer.

He was wandering around other shops and suddenly found one that he was interested in. It was a tailor's shop, and unlike on earth, there were two kinds of clothing stores.

One is called a coarse cloth shop, and the clothes sold are made of linen and coarse cloth, which is shoddy, simple and ugly. Ordinary residents go to such shops to buy cloth and make their own clothes.

If you have a little money, you will buy clothes that have already been made.

If you are richer, you go to another kind of shop, a tailor shop, which specializes in tailor-made clothes.

The tailors do not work on coarse cloth or linen, but they make silk and brocade clothes. Only the rich and those with a certain status can afford to wear it.

Zheng Haoyu was interested in the silk displayed in the tailor shop. The silk here looks very beautiful, as if it were a kind of silk.

Zheng Haoyu wanted to know what kind of material this was, and if it was taken to the earth, it could also be made into high-end clothing.

With three escorts, he entered the tailor's shop. As soon as he entered the store, he immediately greeted the shopkeeper and greeted: "Guest officer, welcome to our Golden Scissors Tailor Shop, in our shop, there are the best tailors in the entire Siye City, that is, the clothes of the city lord, all made here by us!"

Zheng Haoyu nodded and said, "What kind of cloth do you have, let me take a look?"

The shopkeeper hurriedly introduced: "This is silk, there are horned silk, fire silk and ordinary silk." Horn silk has good toughness, can be used as inner armor, and cannot be cut by a general sword, and is the most expensive one. ”

"Fire silk is light, and the flame is generally non-combustible to be lit, which is convenient for dyeing, and the noble ladies like this the most. ”

......

"The soft animal skins here are very suitable for making leather armor, coats, and cloaks......"

The shopkeeper introduced it one by one, Zheng Haoyu touched all the materials and found that this was indeed the case. And it's just the existing materials, and it is said that there is also a rare ice silk, which is extremely cool to wear in the summer, and it is as convenient as carrying an air conditioner with you.

Think about it, if such a material is taken to the earth to make clothes, I am afraid that those women will rush to sell it for a million pieces!

Zheng Haoyu was looking at the materials, when a person came out of the back of the tailor shop.

He was dressed in a robe of fine silk, looked to be half a hundred years old, and his brows were furrowed, as if someone owed him money.

As soon as the shopkeeper saw him, he hurriedly greeted him and said, "Good shopkeeper." ”

He introduced Zheng Haoyu and others: "This is our Zhu shopkeeper, and it is also the famous golden scissors in our Siye City!"

Golden scissors are the name of high-class tailors. It seems that the shopkeeper of this shop is their high-class tailor.

Shopkeeper Zhu saw Zheng Haoyu and others wearing simple linen clothes, and he was immediately a little displeased. Especially the big cows, they are dressed too earthy, just like the village husbands. For the arrogant him, this kind of person entered his golden scissors tailor shop, which is out of class!
