Chapter 62: Prices in Another World
Murdo is one of the two lords in the barony's town, since Li Yunyang took office, he is the guy who runs to the barony's mansion the most often, and I don't know why, Li Yunyang is very disgusted with dealing with such a guy who does business in the name of a lord, or he doesn't like to deal with it at all, facing this duplicity smiling face all day long, Li Yunyang is a little irritable, he still likes the feeling when he was a knight lord before, at least no one will want to slap him at that time.
The so-called lord is actually a noble title bought with money, and it itself does not have any real power, of course, if you insist on having it, it is nothing more than having privileges that a few commoners cannot have, such as slaves, because no matter in any country in the Star Continent, slaves are always playthings between nobles, and civilians are strictly forbidden to be involved, even if you have more money, you can't, once you are discovered, it is a violation of this law, and the result is to turn yourself into a slave。
This is a hierarchical world, many nobles can do, but commoners can not emulate, if there is a mustard between nobles, they can duel, but between nobles and commoners, there is no such preferential treatment, nobles can fight commoners, but commoners can not directly offend nobles for any reason, and as a member of the nobles, the most inferior lord, that is also able to obtain two or more acres of fertile land in the local area as private property, the contract is over on the day your lord expires.
And in this perverted world, commoners can only marry one wife, and they can't even continue to die anymore, but the aristocracy has no upper limit, as long as you want, you can marry a few, but the same relationship is the system, often the lower the level of the noble, the fewer wives he marries, not that no one wants to marry him, but this actually contains an unspoken rule, but all the wives married by nobles are generally the children of noble families, and commoners are rarely accepted by this perverted group, so since they marry the children of noble families, like the lord, they already belong to the bottom of the aristocracyEven if people are willing, then his eldest wife is not willing, unless the first one he marries is a commoner.
No, he came again today, looking at the half-old man who walked into the door with a pot of wine, Li Yunyang had a headache, you said that a big man who is in his forties drinks a wine every day around a young man who is not yet twenty years old, and as soon as he is on the table, he will not leave the line in three sentences, and start to talk about his various industries in the barony, in fact, it is nothing more than thinking that Li Yunyang helped him monopolize the salt and fur in this territory. Iron ore and other things, and even he wants to monopolize all the grain trade in this territory.
In fact, there are some things that don't need to be said by Stanny, Li Yunyang himself knows very well, monopoly is naturally a constant deal for himself, but if these daily substances are really monopolized, it means that these ordinary prices will continue to rise, and the final result is to offend Andre and Wendell, the two high-ranking squires in the territory.
Almost every place is almost composed of one or more clans, and these clans are also divided into generations of the eldest and youngest, the main population of the Barony of Pirka is actually composed of the Johnson clan and the Harvison clan, the patriarch of these two clans, Andrei and Wendell, are the leaders of the barony with a population of nearly 15,000, and Andrei is still the patriarch of Li Yunyang.
As the patriarch of a clan, it is natural to seek some benefits for his clan, if this resolution is really to be implemented, these two well-known squires will be a hurdle that cannot be passed, otherwise it is estimated that they will not be able to wait for Li Yunyang to have a headache, and Ronald will have it done when he is in power!
But then again, Li Yunyang can be this idle parent official all day long, in fact, most of the work is taken care of by these two respected old men, and if there is anything that cannot be solved in the general territory, it is absolutely impossible to poke the knight lord or the baron lord here, and most of them go to their respective patriarchs.
Artek was very attentive when Li Yunyang first took office, but only after Li Yunyang said that he would not let one of them dominate, there were relatively few comes, and he didn't even appear recently, but occasionally he would bring some outside specialties to pay tribute to Li Yunyang, the parent official of this territory.
Now Li Yunyang understands the pain of businessmen a little, some people say that prices are rising too fast, and there is no way to do it, not to mention the world before him, you can see a general outline here, in addition to wanting to become bigger and stronger, a businessman is actually more worried about being replaced by someone who will make a hindrance from it, even if he knows that Li Yunyang will not let Andre's family dominate, but Artek will still send some items from time to time to honor Li Yunyang.
Why? Is there only two merchants in this world, him and Andrei? If the lord is dissatisfied with him, then he may replace him at any time with another person!
But Li Yunyang's idea is much simpler, as long as the people can live well, anyway, whether these materials are purchased or sold, someone must do them, and who is not doing it, why should he break the tacit understanding that has lasted for decades?
Randomly found an excuse to get rid of Andre, Li Yunyang wandered out alone, to be honest, after coming for so long, he really didn't turn around this area is not as big as Johnson's territory, but the population is much denser than Johnson's territory.
The center is the center, Li Yunyang sighed, like these regional structures, in fact, they are not much different from the township structure on the earth, the knight domain is actually a way of life that is mainly based on farmland hunters, and in a knight domain, the population is not as concentrated as the barony, most of them are also composed of countless scattered small villages, after all, a farmland is the mainstay, and not a house can be built anywhere.
And in the barony, except for half of the people who still rely on farmland or hunting as the main source of income, in fact, there have been many changes, because the geographical location of the barony is also in the center of the three knights' orders, so a larger commercial circle is naturally formed, on the street, all kinds of shops are opened along the street, except for most of them belong to Andre and Artek, like this one named ' Selma's bar was more than twice the size of Johnson's Domain, and there was a dessert shop with jams, a weapons shop with a few weapons, and even a jewelry shop, all of which were rarely found in the Knight's Territory.
Of course, it is not comparable to the scale of Blory Town, the ancient Roman Colosseum-like building, originally called the Trade Center, which is also occasionally heard when I went to Brory this time, and the bigger the city, the more spectacular the market center like this is, Li Yunyang is even a little vaguely looking forward to when it is time to go to the Marquis City......
