Chapter 14: Intentions (2)

After he put the list away, he said: "According to the rules of Blackwood City, outsiders are not allowed to sell in person, so there must be a middleman for the items looted by the Thirteen Murderers, is there any clue about this?"

Lu Bei shook his head and said: "There is no news about this for the time being, and it is not easy to hear more news, the population here is very tight, and if it is suspected, it will be wasted." ”

Fang Ling also nodded clearly and said: "Safety first, the more this time, the more you can't rush for quick success." ”

Dong Canghai asked, "Your Highness, what should we do now?"

Fang Ling flicked his finger and said: "If you want to ensure the safety of the fiefdom, you must not only solve the problem of Shicheng, the existence of these border towns has always been a hidden danger, but what we have to do now is to get more reliable information, if you want to get these news, you must have channels, and to get the news, then the best identity is to be a black businessman." ”

"Your Highness means that we are also pretending to be buyers?" Dong Canghai said in surprise.

Fang Ling shook his head and said, "No, the buyers are all local magnates, and these people are not on the same line as Yuan Ba and the local residents, so they must become sellers." Moreover, we are not approaching ordinary middlemen, preferably official ones. Brother Lu, is there any way to directly contact some of Yuan Ba's leaders?"

Lu Bei said: "There is a trading place, which is directly managed by Yuan Ba's subordinates, and anyone can sell goods, but it must be quite expensive. ”

"Oh, there is such a place?" Fang Ling asked with interest.

Lu Bei nodded and said, "That place is called the Fluttering Field." ”

Fang Ling understood, and continued to ask, "How about the price of medicinal materials here?"

Lu Bei thought for a while and said: "The prices are much cheaper than those in the outside market, if you talk about it, I'm afraid you can buy five or six achievements." ”

"Fifty or sixty percent? That's really too cheap, wouldn't it be a big profit to sell it in China from here?" Dong Canghai said in surprise.

Fang Ling smiled slightly: "This is also normal, many of the industries in those noble families have special purchase channels, so that they can earn a lot of silver." So, what if it's more expensive medicinal herbs?"

"The same is true, because everything here is circulated through improper channels, and it can be said that it is a safe and profitable business, so even if it is a rare treasure, the price is much lower than that in the market. Lu Bei replied.

Fang Ling had a plan in his heart, picked up a pen and paper and wrote down a list, then took out a few silver tickets of one thousand taels, handed them to Lu Bei to buy some things, and kept the excess for the soldiers to pay here, and then returned to the room.

After a while, Lu Bei bought back the items on the list, which were eight 30-year-old ginseng plants, and in order not to arouse suspicion, the eight ginseng plants were purchased in three places.

When Fang Ling heard the price of medicinal materials, he secretly sighed that it was worthy of being on the black market, the things were so cheap that people couldn't believe it, the 30-year-old ginseng could be sold for sixty or seventy taels of silver in the outside market, but it was only sold for thirty taels here, and the eight plants were not even three hundred taels after being bought, but if they were bought according to the market price, it would cost twice as much money, and it was no wonder that local forces flocked to it and became a veritable seller of stolen goods.
