Chapter 83

"Attract wandering heroes?" after seeing this message, Su Lun's breathing increased a bit.

He now has only three heroes in his territory, Johnson, boulder and Chris. The strength of each hero is not weak. If heroes can be recruited, the value of this tavern will be higher.

Arrange people to open the tavern. Su Lun specially sat in the tavern for a while. After experiencing the tavern, he told the person in charge to collect information in the tavern and pay attention to some strange people at the same time.

After the tavern opened, Su Lun found that the barbarian warriors loved it more than the school field, so Su Lun had to restrict them.

......

In order to cope with the next trade, Suellen built a barracks near the trading market, which is a resting place for soldiers. Next to the barracks is the tax office of the trading market. The tax office is very simple now. Even the tax officer in the territory has not been appointed, so Chris can only serve concurrently.

Fortunately, there are no other taxes in the territory except for caravans coming to trade. This is also the reason why sulun has not appointed a tax official. After all, there is no tax.

For caravans coming to trade, such taxes must be collected. Transactions with more than 100 jinnars in the territory must be filed with the tax department and pay certain taxes. If someone wants to exploit the loophole and deliberately limit the transaction amount to less than 100 gold coins, he will be directly punished ten times once found.

All transactions must be conducted in the trading market. Transactions outside the trading market are regarded as illegal, and the goods will be directly confiscated by the soldiers responsible for market security.

Coming out of the tavern, Suellen saw gene with a dusty face.

"Sir, it's great to see you. I'm just going to report to you." gene was overjoyed when he saw Su Lun. He walked quickly to Su Lun, and then bowed and saluted: "Sir, the caravan returned to the territory safely. All goods and materials were not damaged. We bought 300 slaves from kart city this time, and we also made a profit of 1500 dinars."

so many?

Su Lun was a little stunned, then took the bill and looked through it.

The biggest income on the bill is white sugar. Jean went to kart city for trade this time, bringing a total of 50 kilograms of white sugar. The rest are fur and other things. Together, those things sold less than 500 jinar. Fifty catties of sugar sold nearly three thousand ginals in Karen city.

Then he spent more than 1000 jinnars on shopping in kart City, more than 1000 jinnars on buying 300 slaves, and there were still 1500 jinnars left after paying taxes.

The average price of sugar sold by Jean was almost 60 ginals a kilogram. Compared with the distribution of sugar, the price of sugar doubled directly. As a result, all these sugar were sold out before they arrived for half a day. Moreover, a large number of nobles and businessmen who did not buy sugar wanted to book, but Jean did not dare to accept the order of sulun.

"It seems that those nobles have a strong demand for white sugar." Suellen thought it over secretly.

Although he was prepared, he still underestimated the nobles' love for sugar. These extravagant nobles had reached a very high level in the pursuit of various material enjoyment. The long-term peace made the nobles more and more extravagant and licentious.

"Well done," Suellen said with a pat on gene's shoulder.

Gene is very satisfied with his current job. He has changed from a poor mercenary who eats wind and dew and licks blood on the knife every day to a businessman who has a family and a career and works for a territorial aristocrat. This great change makes him grateful to Su Lun, who gave all this.

"It's all your guidance. I just did some basic things," gene said respectfully.

As the first mercenary hired by Suellen to explore the territory, gene watched Suellen cut through thorns and thorns, gain a foothold in this dangerous wilderness, and then lead the barbarian warriors to victory again and again.

In this short period of more than two months, he built a town from scratch and excavated a gold mine in this barren land. Now he thinks he is witnessing the rise of a legend.

Being able to follow a legend is also of great benefit to himself. Maybe he can take this opportunity to become a new aristocrat from a civilian.

"Gene, don't be modest. I know your efforts." Suellen nodded to him.

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

"Sir, only a few of the nobles bought this time have skills, and the other slaves can only be serfs or handmaids."

"I'm sorry, sir, who bought most of the skilled artisan slaves..."

Skilled slaves are in short supply in the slave market and are basically monopolized by big businessmen and nobles. Others can only pick up some leftovers from them. Sulun was able to buy dozens of artisan slaves because of his aristocratic status.

"More than 300 slaves, which artisan slaves will be divided according to their skills. As for the remaining slaves, let them build roads." Su Lun quickly arranged their own places for these slaves.

"Sir, many people are asking about our supply of white sugar in kart city this time. According to your instructions, I told several commercial firms that they have decided to come to our territory for trade."

"OK, I see." Su Lun sent out the news to attract other chambers of Commerce to come here to let more people compete for white sugar.

Of course, in addition to sugar, the arrival of many chambers of Commerce will also lead to the discovery of territory commerce, which is very important to the discovery of sulun's territory.

As for white sugar, he plans to trade 500 Jin a month.

Five hundred catties of white sugar are divided into five parts, and then auctioned one by one. The one with the highest price will get it. In order to prevent those caravans from secretly colluding with each other to suppress the price, sulun used dark bidding.

The price is confidential. Each person has only one bidding opportunity. In this way, even if they have negotiated the price and divided the share in advance, it is useless. In order not to be eliminated, we can only increase the price.

The caravans did not follow Jean to Zhenbei fort. They were ready to come together.

For the upcoming trade, sulun asked the slaves to give priority to building the road of the trading market, and the road of the territory began to extend outward.

In this era, it cost a lot to build roads. Sulun requires that the roads in the territory are at least stone roads, and stone slabs are needed in some places. Such roads will not be dusty in sunny days and muddy in rainy days.
