Chapter 282 Businessman Clothing
Not long after the weather turned cooler, the merchants came.

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

The second time, because I made a lot of money, I called my family and formed a team of ten people, eight people and two slaves.

Now Dulu is here for the third time. The team has expanded to 25 people, and there is a long yak and three big goats pulling the cart.

Dulou said respectfully to Lawrence: "Merciful prophet, I am very happy to come here again. This time I brought five slaves, as well as food and seeds from the south, and beautiful clothes from the south."

Lawrence no longer looked down on these small businesses and quickly handed the matter over to Seravan.

"Selavin, you are responsible for this matter. Navia and Brielle can also follow."

Both Navia and Brielle said: "Yes, Prophet."

Church members themselves need to master business skills. After all, many monasteries and churches are considered business premises.

How to ensure the normal operation of the church's funds, how to make money with money, how to ensure that there are enough funds to support monks and pilgrims, and to provide rescue to believers are all essential qualities for important members of the church.

Acquire and lease land, invest in various businesses, and even make loan sharks.

Without a shrewd leader, the monastery and church would soon be unable to make ends meet.

The church in this world does not just chant scriptures or hold meetings. It is very inclusive and complex.

Du Lu looked at these barbarians in surprise, and suddenly discovered that these women, who were supposed to be barbarians, were actually much more beautiful than the women at home, even many women in the south could not compare.

Forget about the women around the prophet, they must be beautiful slaves who were snatched away.

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

But this matter is not important, business is the most important thing.

Du Lu wanted to discuss business with Lawrence. He brought a lot of good things this time and wanted to exchange for more treasures and make a lot of money.

Lawrence turned to leave, and Seravan said to Dulu: "Take me to see your things."

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

"Do you have enough food here?" Du Lu asked in confusion: "I can bring more wheat and sweet wine from the south next time. One barrel only requires a wig, a jar of soy sauce, and a jar of crow dung. .”

Navia mocked: "We can't finish the wheat here, and we can't finish the wine even if we drink it for ten years."

Du Lu showed an expression of disbelief and said firmly: "How is it possible? There can be no wine or grapes here!"

This is the cold north. How can southern crops like grapes grow here?

Even if it grows, it is not enough to make wine. These people can only make ale at best, but they can never make wine.

Navia smiled and said: "We have more than 400 barrels of wine, which are filled with the church's warehouse and cellar. It took several months to drink less than one barrel!"

Seravan then said: "The wine is not good, not as good as the ale."

Du Lu still didn't believe it, "It must be inferior wine!"

Seravan still had a lot to do, and stared at Dulu impatiently.

"Hurry up and get your stuff."

"Okay." Du Lu quickly and quietly arranged for his son and nephew to come over.

A large number of commodities were quickly lifted out of the car and placed on a table made of straw baskets and wooden boards.

The red and yellow long skirts quickly attracted the attention of the two nuns. These clothes were hung with small but exquisite pearl decorations. Both the design style and the bright and luxurious decorations made the two young girls like it very much.

Compared with these six pieces of clothing, the rest of the items such as slaves and crops seem very ordinary.

Du Lu noticed the change in the eyes of the two women and tried his best to sell them: "These clothes are the clothes of the southern aristocratic lady. They are aristocratic clothes made for the beautiful and noble countess, and I brought them here from the south. Only twenty cans of crow poop are needed each!”

Seravan glanced at the crops and slaves and said directly: "The clothes are too expensive. Five slaves are too thin. Each of them can only be given the price of a basket of wheat. Five of them is... a jar of crow dung."

Seravan did a simple calculation and gave a very casual price. "These grains can be exchanged for a can of Orrunchi powder."

When Navia heard that Seravan didn't want these clothes, she quickly reminded: "Selaven, the master did not let you ignore these beautiful clothes."

Seravan patiently explained: "We have enough wool. The master said we would make clothes. We don't need these clothes."

Brielle quickly said: "No, the wool the master wants to make is different from these! These are not wool clothes, they are more expensive noble clothes than wool clothes!"

Seeing this, Seravan didn't want to argue. After all, she was a nun in the church.

"Okay, these clothes can be bought, but we don't have that much crow dung, and the owner didn't give us that much crow dung."

Du Lu was happy to see these people attaching so much importance to these beautiful clothes. "If there is no crow excrement, it can be exchanged for soy sauce and refined salt. I can also accept these things."

Seravan said quickly: "This is not okay. Only people in the manor can eat soy sauce, and the same goes for refined salt."

Navia and Brielle both wanted to buy these clothes.

Navia said: "I can give you wood. We have oak and pine here. We can give you thirty pieces of wood."

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

"No, I don't want wood."

The two parties quickly continued to bargain here, each wanting something they were satisfied with, but the other party refused to let go.

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

Emma's two children, Um and Tim, are also here to help, taking out the dirty old wood and tables from the house.

Lawrence quickly walked to the street and chatted with the residents here to learn about the recent status of road construction and whether anything had happened.

While chatting, Navia walked over quickly.

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

After hearing this, Lawrence said: "Well, have we discussed it in detail?"

Navia explained: "The merchant wants to exchange six pieces of clothing for a four-wheeled vehicle with a box, the one we just built, and he also wants two Dom sheep."

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

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

"Okay, I hope he can bring some seeds of spices and herbs next time he comes here, especially those crops and herbs unique to the south."

Navia nodded and said, "Yes."

Lawrence walked out and said, "Let me see what beautiful clothes they are. I hope they are not too small."

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

But there are also young women like Sophia and Saryl who can wear basically the same thing.

Lawrence checked the six pieces of clothing. They were indeed of a level that ordinary people in this area could not produce.

And sometimes descriptions alone can't make the tailors here understand their ideas. Lawrence needs samples. These beautiful clothes can open up the tailors' ideas, not just a piece of clothing.

Lawrence did not give any advice on the business level of Seravan and the two nuns. After all, business is something that is learned little by little.

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

If you think you can afford it, then buy it.

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