As they entered the city, they saw a group of people gathering at the gate.
Xu Shaotang curiously stepped forward and casually asked a strong man with bare upper body: "brother, what are you going to do?"
Hearing Xu Shaotang's question, people around him immediately burst out a burst of laughter.
The strong man patted his chest and pointed out the animal skin backpack to Xu Shaotang: "can't you see that? We are going to go into the Tianqiong mountains to collect the elixir
"So many people going together?"
Xu Shaotang glanced at it in surprise. He roughly estimated that there were about 100 people at the gate of the city. Most of them were men and old people in ragged clothes, and a few women. Moreover, there were people gathering from the city.
"You are not from Shuozhou!"
The strong man was also talkative and said with a smile: "if you want to go to Tianqiong mountain to collect the elixir, you must go through this terrible sea of sand. If one or two people go in, no one will know when they die! And that day, monsters and beasts were rampant in the dome mountains. When we went together, we could take care of some danger. "
I see!
Looking at the boundless sea of sand and the ragged people, Xu Shaotang didn't know how many people could come back alive with so many people marching forward.
Although the barrenness of Jumu city is not as good as the land of frost and snow, it is not easy to survive here. These people are exchanging their lives for those elixirs.
After greeting the strong man, Xu Shaotang and Tantai Jingming walk slowly into the city.
The streets in the city are very wide. Because of the sand sea outside, the three or four foot wide streets are full of yellow sand, and the buildings on both sides of the street are covered with a thick layer of yellow sand.
On both sides of the street, there are people selling miraculous drugs in stalls everywhere. Most of the miraculous drugs on those stalls are ordinary ones. From time to time, people who come and go ask at the stalls, and their ears are filled with bargaining voices.
"It's really lively here!"
Looking at the people coming and going in front of her, she said with a smile, "I thought the giant wooden city near the Tianqiong mountains would be very desolate."
"I hope there are fewer people here. In this way, it should be easier to inquire about Mu Tiance's whereabouts." Xu Shaotang showed a wry smile at the corner of his mouth: "let's go and buy some medicine."
"Why do you buy the elixir?" Tan Tai Jing Ming asked, "you should look down on the elixirs in these stalls, right?"
Others don't know. She doesn't know that Xu Shaotang has a lot of precious elixirs in his bag. With these ordinary elixirs, Xu Shaotang doesn't even bother to take a look at them.
Xu Shaotang smiles and doesn't answer her question. She goes to a nearby stall and asks about the price of several kinds of elixirs. Then she doesn't bargain and happily buys them.
"By the way, I'd like to ask you something. How can I get to the city master's residence?"
After buying the elixir, Xu Shaotang did not leave, but talked with the man who bought the elixir there.
Tan Tai Jing Ming understands Xu Shaotang's purpose. He dares to feel that this guy is drunk, not drunk!
"Are you looking for the Lord's mansion?" The man looked at Xu Shaotang in surprise. He seemed to think that Xu Shaotang's question was very strange.
Xu Shaotang nodded with a smile and said, "I want to go to the city Lord's mansion to do something."
Naturally, he would not be silly to ask anyone if they have met mu Tiance. If anyone who wants to inquire about Mu Tiance has ever been to the city master's mansion, the best place to go is the city master's mansion. The city master must know the most about the news of this huge wooden city.
"I guess you can't do it." Because Xu Shaotang bought a lot of big elixirs, the man was a little patient and said with a smile, "there is no master's mansion in this huge wooden city!"
"Ah?"
Tan Tai Jing Ming and Xu Shaotang exclaimed in amazement at the same time. The news was really beyond their expectation. How could this huge wooden city be more prosperous than the city of sin, and there was not even a city leader?
"Is there no one in charge of this giant wooden city?" Dan Tai Jing Ming doubts a way.
"There are people in charge." The man said slowly: "the people who come and go to Jumu city usually are people who live by elixirs. Most people rely on Tianxing chamber of Commerce in the city to survive. As time goes by, the affairs of Jumu city will be in the charge of Tianxing chamber of Commerce."
"In other words, this day the chamber of commerce is similar to the city Lord's mansion?" Xu Shaotang frowned slightly and said, "let a chamber of commerce manage a city. It's really a wonderful work."
"You don't know that Tianxing chamber of commerce is our God of wealth!" The man said with a smile: "after you go to Tianqiong mountain to collect the elixir, you first take it to Tianxing chamber of Commerce. The elixir that Tianxing chamber of Commerce doesn't need is sold outside."
"It seems that the business of miraculous drugs in this city is monopolized by Tianxing chamber of Commerce!" "In this case, will Tianxing chamber of commerce give you a reasonable price? Will not maliciously depress the price of the elixir? "Business is just like this. Once it forms a monopoly, it has the power to set the market price. It is the nature of businessmen to make profits. As long as they monopolize the market, it is natural for them to lower the price.
"They're going to drive down the price of the elixir, but at least it's still acceptable." The man said with a smile: "if you don't sell it in Tianxing chamber of Commerce, you can sell it in other cities of Shuozhou. Maybe the price will be a little higher than that in Tianxing chamber of Commerce, but it's too tossing and it's basically not much higher. As time goes by, people will get used to it."
Smart!
After hearing the man's words, Xu Shaotang immediately defined the people in Tianxing chamber of Commerce as smart people. They lowered the price, but they were still in the acceptable range, so that everyone would willingly sell the elixir in Tianxing chamber of Commerce. They gained both benefits and good reputation.
"It seems that Tianxing chamber of commerce is not bad." Tan Tai Jing Ming said with a smile.
The man nodded and said, "it's really good, but it's also because of this that we are willing to sell the elixir we got in exchange for our lives to Tianxing chamber of Commerce!"
"How will the merchant go that day?"
Xu Shaotang plans to go to Tianxing chamber of Commerce for a visit. Since Tianxing chamber of commerce is in charge, if he wants to inquire about Mu Tiance's whereabouts, he naturally has to ask them.
In addition, people of Tianxing chamber of commerce can contact people who come and go every day. If there is any strange news, it should also be available for the first time.
"Go straight along this road, there is a scarlet yard, which is where Tianxing chamber of commerce is located."
After the man pointed out the direction for them, they immediately rushed to Tianxing chamber of Commerce.
