"Attract wandering heroes?" After seeing this information, Su Lun's breathing instantly became a little heavier.

There are only three heroes in his current territory, Johnson and Boulder and Chrissy, and each hero is not weak, and if he can recruit heroes, this tavern will be even more valuable.

Arrange for people to open the tavern, and Su Lun deliberately went to sit in the tavern for a while. After experiencing the tavern, he instructed the person in charge to pay attention to gathering information in the tavern, and at the same time watch out for some strange people.

After the tavern opened, Suren discovered that the barbarian warriors had become more fond of the place than the schoolyard, and Suren had to restrict them.

......

In order to cope with the rest of the trade, Suren built a barracks near the trading market, which was a resting place for the soldiers, and next to the barracks was the tax office of the trading market, which was now very rudimentary, and even the tax officer in the territory had not been appointed, so Chrissy could only serve as a part-time officer.

Fortunately, there is no other tax in the territory except for the caravan to trade, which is also the reason why Su Lun has not appointed a tax official for a long time, after all, there is no tax.

For caravans to trade, this kind of tax must be charged, as long as the transaction in the territory exceeds 100 gold nar, it must be filed with the tax office, and pay a certain tax, if someone wants to take advantage of the loophole and deliberately limit the transaction amount to less than 100 gold coins, once found, it will be directly punished ten times.

All transactions must be carried out in the market, and it is considered illegal to trade outside the market, and the goods will be confiscated by the soldiers in charge of market security.

Coming out of the tavern, Suren saw Jean with a dusty face at a glance.

"It's great to see you, sir, I'm about to report to you. Jean was overjoyed when he saw Suren, walked quickly to Suren, and then bowed and saluted: "Sir, the caravan has returned to the territory safely, and there is no damage to all the goods and materials, this time we bought three hundred slaves from Carthusian City, and we also made a profit of fifteen hundred kinnars from this trade." ”

So much?

Su Lun was stunned for a moment, then took the bill and looked at it.

The biggest income on the bill was sugar, and Jean had brought a total of fifty pounds of sugar with him to the Carthusian City for trade, and the rest were furs and the like, which together sold for less than five hundred goldennars. Fifty pounds of sugar were sold for nearly three thousand kinnars in the city of Calente.

Then it cost more than 1,000 jinnars to purchase supplies in Carthusian City, more than 1,000 jinnars to buy 300 slaves, and 1,000 jinnars left after paying taxes.

The average price of the white sugar sold by Jean is almost two hundred and thirty jinnar a catty, which is several times higher than the price of the distributed sugar, and as a result, all the white sugar was sold out before it even arrived for half a day, and there are still a large number of nobles and merchants who have not bought white sugar who want to pre-order, but without Su Lun's order, Jean does not dare to accept it.

"It seems that those nobles have a strong demand for sugar. Su Lun secretly thought about it.

Although he was mentally prepared, he still underestimated the nobles' love for sugar, these nobles who lived extravagantly had reached a very high level in the pursuit of various material comforts, and the long-term peace made the nobles more and more arrogant and lascivious.

"Good job. Suren patted Jean on the shoulder and complimented.

Jean is very satisfied with his current job, from a destitute, well-fed mercenary who licks blood every day to a businessman who now has a family and a business, working for a territorial nobleman, and this drastic change makes him full of gratitude to Suren for the man who gave him all this.

"It's all your guidance, I'm just doing some of the bare basics. Jean said respectfully.

As one of the first mercenaries hired by Suren to expand his territory, Jean watched Suren overcome obstacles and gain a foothold in this dangerous wilderness, and then lead the barbarian warriors to victory after victory.

In just over two months, having built a town from scratch and unearthed a gold mine in this barren land, he now thinks he is witnessing the rise of a legend.

Being able to follow a legendary figure would also be of great benefit to himself, perhaps he could take the opportunity to become a new nobleman from a commoner.

"Jean, don't be modest, I know all your efforts. Su Lun nodded at him.

After this period of caravan work, Jean's negotiation and trade skills improved, which was the most obvious change.

"Sir, only a small number of the slaves purchased this time have skills, and the rest of the slaves can only be serfs or handymen. ”

"I'm sorry sir, but most of the artisan slaves with skills were bought by which nobles... ”

For skilled slaves, they were all in demand in the slave market, and they were basically monopolized by big merchants and nobles, and others could only pick up some leftovers from them. Su Lun was able to buy dozens of artisan slaves at the beginning, also because of his aristocratic status.

"More than three hundred slaves, divide the labor according to their skills, and as for the remaining slaves, let them build roads. Suren quickly arranged a place for the slaves.

"Sir, this time in the sale of white sugar in Carthusian City, there are many people who are inquiring about our sources, and I have told several trading houses according to your instructions, and they have decided to come to our territory to trade. ”

"Okay, I got it. "Su Lun released the news that attracting other chambers of commerce to come here is to let more people compete for sugar.

Of course, in addition to sugar, the arrival of many chambers of commerce will also drive the development of territorial commerce, which is very important for the development of Sulun's territory.

As for sugar, he plans to take out 500 catties every month to trade.

The 500 catties of sugar were divided into five portions, and then one by one was auctioned, and the highest price was won. In order to prevent those caravans from secretly colluding with each other to suppress prices, Suren decided to use secret bidding.

Prices are confidential, and each person only has one chance to bid. In this way, even if they have negotiated the price in advance and divided the share, it is useless. In order not to be eliminated, the price can only be increased.

The caravans hadn't followed Jean to Fort North, they were ready to come together.

For the upcoming trade, Suren gave priority to the slaves to build roads to the trading market, and the roads of the realm began to be extended outward.

In this era, it was very expensive to build roads, and Suren required that the roads in the territory should be at least stone roads, and in some places they needed stone slabs. Such roads will not be dusty on sunny days and muddy on rainy days.
