Soon after the weather cooled down, the merchant Du Lu came.

When I first came here, there were only six people in Dulu.

The second time, because he had made a lot of money, he called his family again, and formed a team of ten people, eight people and two slaves.

Now for the third time, Dulu has grown to twenty-five people, and has a long yak and three big goats pulling the cart.

Dulu said respectfully to Lawrence, "Merciful prophet, it is a pleasure to be here again, this time I have brought five slaves, as well as grain and seeds from the South, and beautiful clothes from the South. ”

Lawrence couldn't afford these small deals anymore and quickly left the matter to Seravan.

"Seravan, you're in charge of this, and Navia and Brielier can follow along."

Both Navia and Brielel replied, "Yes, Prophet. ”

The people of the church themselves have to master business skills, after all, many monasteries and churches are considered places of business.

How to ensure the normal operation of the church's funds, how to make money, how to ensure that there are enough funds to help those monks and pilgrims, and to provide relief to believers are all essential qualities of important personnel of the church.

Buying and leasing land, investing in various businesses, and even loan sharking.

Without a shrewd leader, monasteries and churches will soon be unable to make ends meet.

The church in this world is not just chanting the scriptures, nor is it just meeting, it is very inclusive and complex.

Du Lu looked at these barbarians in surprise, and suddenly found that these women who were supposed to be barbarians were much better looking than the women in the family, and even many women in the south could not compare.

Even if the women around the prophet are forgotten, they must be snatched beautiful slaves.

But why do you feel like there are so many beautiful women in this place?

But it's not important, it's the business that matters.

Dulu wants to talk to Lawrence about business, and this time he brings a lot of good things, and wants to exchange for more treasures to make a lot of money.

Lawrence turned to leave, and Seravin said to Dulu, "Take me to see your things." ”

Du Lu had no choice but to take the man to see the goods.

"Do you have enough food here?" Du Lu bewitched: "I can bring more wheat next time, and sweet wine from the south, and only need a wig for a barrel, or a can of soy sauce, and a can of crow dung." ”

Navia scoffed, "We can't finish the wheat here, and we can't finish the wine for ten years." ”

Du Lu showed an expression of disbelief and said firmly: "How is it possible, there can be no wine here, and there can be no grapes!" ”

It's a cold north, and it's impossible for grapes to grow in a southern crop!

Even if it grows, it is not enough to make wine, and these people can make ale wine at most, and definitely not wine.

Navia smiled and said, "We have more than 400 barrels of wine, which fill the storehouses and cellars of the church, and it has been a few months before we have drunk a single barrel!" ”

Seravin then said, "Wine is not good, not as good as ale. ”

Dulu was still a little unconvinced, "It must be an inferior wine!" ”

Seravin still had a lot to do, and glared at Dulu impatiently.

"Hurry up and get your stuff down."

"Okay." Dulu quickly arranged for his son and nephew to come over in a low-key manner.

The goods were quickly lifted off the cart and placed on a table made of straw baskets and wooden planks.

The long red and yellow dresses soon attracted the attention of the two nuns, and the small but delicate pearl decorations on the dresses made the two young girls very fond of both the design and the bright and luxurious decorations.

Compared to these six clothes, the rest of the slaves and crops and other things seemed very commonplace.

Dulu noticed the change in the gaze of the two women, and tried his best to sell: "These clothes are all the clothes of the noble ladies of the south, they are made for the beautiful and noble lady of the countess, and I brought them here from the south, and each one only needs twenty jars of crow droppings!" ”

Seravin glanced at the crops and slaves, and said directly: "The clothes are too expensive, don't do it, five slaves are too thin, each can only give the price of one basket of wheat, and five words are ...... A jar of crow droppings. ”

Seravin did a simple calculation and gave a very casual price.

"These grains can be exchanged for a can of Aorun branch powder."

When Navia heard that Seravin didn't want these clothes, she quickly reminded, "Seravin, the master didn't let you ignore these beautiful clothes. ”

"We have enough wool, and the master said to make clothes, which we don't need," Salavin patiently explained. ”

Brielier quickly said, "No, the wool that the master wants to make is different from these!" These are not woolen clothes, they are aristocratic costumes that are more expensive than woolen clothes! ”

Seeing this, Seravin didn't want to quarrel, after all, she was a nun of the church.

"Well, these clothes can be bought, but we don't have so much crow droppings, and the master doesn't give us so much crow droppings."

Dulu's heart blossomed with joy when he saw that these people valued these beautiful clothes so much, "There is no crow droppings, you can exchange soy sauce and refined salt, and I can accept these things." ”

Salavin quickly said: "This is not good, soy sauce can only be eaten by people in the manor, and the same is true for refined salt. ”

Navia and Brielier were eager to buy the clothes.

Navia said, "I can give you wood, we have oak and pine here, and we can give you thirty pieces of wood." ”

Dulu didn't want wood, and carrying that kind of heavy wood would be a great test of the physical strength of the livestock.

"No, I don't want wood."

Both sides soon continued to bargain here, both wanting something they were happy with, but neither side would let go.

Lawrence was packing up at Emma's house, he didn't do anything, mainly Emma and the rest were here.

Emma's two children, um and Tim, are also here to help out with the dirty old wood and tables out of the house.

Lawrence quickly went out into the street and chatted with the residents to find out how the road had been repaired recently and if anything had happened.

While she was chatting, Navia walked over quickly.

"Master, the merchant has brought six beautiful clothes from the noble count, but we don't have so much crow dung and soy sauce that we hope to get."

Lawrence heard it and said, "Well, is it discussed?" ”

Navia explained: "The merchant wanted to exchange six pieces of clothing for a four-wheeled vehicle with a box, the one we had just made, and two domme sheep. ”

Lawrence knew that clothes were expensive in this era, but six pieces of clothing was still a little too expensive.

After learning about the price of slaves, crop seeds, and clothing, Lawrence quickly nodded and agreed to the deal.

"Yes, I hope that the next time he comes, he will bring some spices and seeds of medicinal herbs, especially those crops and herbs that are unique to the south."

Navia nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Lawrence walked out and said, "I'll see what kind of beautiful clothes are, and I hope it's not too small." ”

Several women in the family are relatively plump in height and have higher requirements for clothes.

However, there are also young women like Sophia and Sariel, who can basically wear almost the same.

Lawrence inspected the six pieces of clothing, and it was indeed a level that ordinary people in this area could not make.

And sometimes descriptions alone can't make the tailors here understand their own ideas, Lawrence needs a model, these beautiful clothes can open the minds of the tailors, not just a piece of clothing.

Lawrence did not give any indication of the business level of Seravin and the two nuns, after all, business is a little bit of exercise.

At present, Lawrence himself does not have the ability to accurately estimate value, and many things do not depend on how much he earns, but whether he can afford to buy and consume.

If you feel you can afford it, buy it.

After all, the essence of doing business is not only exchange, but also for one's own enjoyment.
