“Weapon! Great weapon! Do you want to get a good ranking in the competition? Please choose a weapon that is handy! We have the best long sword of King’s Land here! Warhammer that is hard to urge! A hundred steps to wear Yang! Crossbows and longbows!”

“Mr. Come in and see our armor! Mail armor, plate armor, leather armor, inlaid armor, knee pads, neck pads, almost everything! They can Protect you from harm!”

“Please note that beautiful young ladies, silk from far abroad has just arrived today. It will not only make you shine in various banquets, but also take care of you. Delicate skin.”

“Spices! Delicious spices! Only three hundred silver deer in a small bag! You will never find your value-for-money goods!”

“Wine from the old town! Welcome to taste!”

……

With the endless cries, Zhang Cheng finally saw this known as the second largest in Westeros. The true face of the city.

Like most medieval-style cities, the sanitary condition of King’s Landing is really not very good. It can even be called dirty and messy. The streets and buildings are completely unplanned. They are piled up in a mess, sometimes Can smell pungent feces and urine.

However, due to the proximity to the sea and the river, the trade is very prosperous. At least there is no trace of turbulence. Every businessman is desperately selling his products to passersby in order to earn money. The huge profits will also bring large taxes to the royal family.

Zhang Cheng really does not understand. Sitting on such a Treasure Gathering Pot, how could Robert the “Green Hat King” owe up to 6,000,000 Golden Dragon debts.

As long as you promulgate a few laws to protect and promote maritime trade, and then fund a few privateer fleets to burn, loot, and establish colonies, it won’t take long for the Westeros Continental Edition of the Great Navigation Era It will be opened, and there is no need to worry about money at all.

But it’s a pity that it may be restricted by his vision, or it may be restricted by factors he does not know. In short, although the owner of the Iron Throne possesses a very powerful royal fleet, he has never used it. The fleet goes to ingest wealth.

Billy drove the carriage cautiously through the chaotic street, and quickly stopped in an alley marked “Flour Street”.

It is easy to tell from the smell of wheat and meat from the surroundings that this is the food processing area that provides bread, sausage and cooked meat products for the entire city.

Several busy apprentices not far away are assisting the Master to take out the freshly baked bread, put it in a wooden basket prepared in advance, and then load it into a carriage and transport it to various hotels, restaurants and markets.

Fatty jumped out of the car proficiently, knocked hard on the door of one of the food workshops, and yelled: “Jain! Jain! Come out! The goods you want are here!”

“Damn! Don’t make a noise! ​​If my bread burns, I will peel your skin.” A grumpy voice came out quickly from the room.

About two or three minutes later, an old man with rough skin and all around his face pushed open the closed door, waiting for two cloudy eyes to ask: “Where is my goods?”

“Hey, it’s all in the car. It’s definitely the finest flour. There is absolutely no wheat bran. You have to give me a good price.” Billy pointed to the cloth bag at the end.

“hmph! Don’t have any wheat bran? You told me the same way last time, but I checked that it was mixed with at least 60%. This time, if you dare to play this trick , I will tell the golden robe and ask them to talk to you about honesty.” The old man threatened and opened the bag to carefully check the quality of the flour.

Although, in Zhang Cheng’s opinion, this yellow-brown wheat flour must contain a lot of impurities, he showed a satisfied expression: “Yes! For high quality, I will give you 30% more price.”

“no! No! No! Jain, you have to understand that it’s not easy to get such a good flour. The 30% price is too low. At least 50% will do. Don’t think I don’t know how much money can be sold after baking the top-quality flour into bread. Old Partner, you are too greedy.” Fatty shook his head desperately trying to bargain.

“50%? Are you crazy? The competition hasn’t started yet! Even more how bread can be sold at a high price, not only because of the good quality of the flour, but also because of the three generations of baking Craftsmanship, up to 40%, if you disagree, get out.” The old man called Jain directly issued an ultimatum.

If it were not for the most recently rapid increase in the floating population of Junlin City, and the consumption of various food and beverages, he would not be taken advantage of.

Billy squinted his eyes and stared at him, seeming to want to judge whether there is a possibility of increasing the price, and after a full ten seconds, he pretended to be reluctant to agree: “Well, look at We have worked together for many years, and the deal has been made. In addition, I also brought some sausages, cured meats, live chickens and wine. If you need them, you can take them together. I will run to the next one if you save them.”

“Old price?” Jane looked probed with distrust.

“Of course it is a 40% price increase! I tell you that in the next period of time, a large number of Knights and nobles will flood into King’s Landing City. As long as you can serve them well, you can make a fiercely. So don’t be so stingy with your friends.” Fatty is unceremoniously fighting for his own interests.

“Asshole! You are such a greedy poisonous snake! Be careful to hold yourself to death! Unload the cargo, I want it.” After that, Jain waved his hand inside the house.

In the blink of an eye, two young apprentices ran out and carried bags of flour, various foods, and alcohol into the warehouse.

After a simple calculation, the old man threw a leather bag full of silver deer to the fatty.

The latter carefully counted it again and confirmed that there was no error, and then the two parties were deemed to have completed the transaction.

Although there are higher-value currencies such as Golden Dragon and Silver Moon, Silver Deer is the currency with the largest number and the most widespread circulation in the commercial field.

Zhang Cheng did not speak from beginning to end, silently watching the entire transaction process, and at the same time, he had a general understanding of the business atmosphere of Junlin City.

First of all, most of the time, both parties to the transaction do not sign any paper contracts or agreements, and rely solely on verbal promises and personal credit guarantees.

Secondly, small tricks such as swindle are definitely not rare. If you are not careful, 80% will be cheated to death.

Finally, administrative agencies and laws rarely interfere with the behavior of businessmen, nor do they, like the European lords of the Dark Middle Ages on Earth, randomly set up names to increase taxes on unfathomable mystery.

Just when he was going to continue observing the surrounding customs, Fatty finally emptied the entire carriage and invited with a smile: “Sir, get in the car, I will take you to the place you most want to go now. Place…”
