The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 235 Traveling to the old place to buy crystals

After learning about the investigation department's situation, Lin Yifan, accompanied by Jin Jiuyuan, went to visit the commercial market.

Lin Yifan was still very familiar with this market. Last year, he bought hundreds of slaves from the Western Regions here.Now these slaves have become his retainers, the women joined Luo Qing'er's female guards, and the men joined his personal guard camp.

In the commercial market at this time, there were people coming and going, and nearly half of them were blond and blue-eyed people from the Western Regions.Now that the war in Shazhou has ended, merchants from the Western Regions who had been watching outside Tianmen Pass immediately poured into Shazhou, carrying a large amount of goods, in an attempt to make a fortune in Shazhou.In their view, Shazhou after the war is a paradise for businessmen. Only war can completely destroy the entire market, and they have the opportunity to seize a market.For this reason, when they entered Shazhou this time, they came here with a full load, wishing to transport all their goods.

But they never expected that after the battle, the Dingxi Army would continue to raise military funds and recruit soldiers after the battle.what to do?Their eyes naturally fixed on this group of fat-headed Western Region businessmen.Therefore, when these businessmen entered Shazhou, they suddenly discovered that this place is not a paradise for businessmen at all, it is simply hell.All kinds of exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes emerged one after another, and the flesh and blood of these businessmen were searched layer by layer, causing them to complain endlessly.But if they came all the way here, how could they just leave? If the goods were not sold out, they would not be able to earn money to buy goods from the East, and they would not be able to transport them to the West to earn huge wealth.Therefore, they had to grit their teeth, endure the exploitation of the Dingxi army, and conduct transactions in this Dingxi city.

"Gentlemen, everyone is welcome to visit Cruise Business, where there are all kinds of dazzling commodities in the Western Continent; It is the unique purple pearl of the Kingdom of Welland, and the most representative wine of the Brooks countries, we, Cruises, have everything you need..."

While Lin Yifan was casually admiring the products displayed in the surrounding shops, a familiar voice suddenly sounded, making him involuntarily look up at the source of the sound.

Then I saw an old man with a big belly, wearing a costume unique to the Western Regions, leaning on a cane, trying his best to promote it to people walking on the street.

"Mr. Cruise?" Lin Yifan stepped forward, looked at him in surprise, and called out tentatively.

Cruise looked at him with his cloudy eyes, and looked at Lin Yifan suspiciously, "Who are you?"

"Mr. Cruise is such a noble man, how forgetful he is," Lin Yifan said with a smile, "Last year, I bought all the slaves from you."

"Oh, it turns out that he is the most honorable gentleman of our Chris Firm!" Cruise thought carefully, his eyes lit up, and he immediately remembered the young man in front of him.Immediately put on a warm smile, and exclaimed, "Since we parted last year, I never expected to see you again now. This is simply the guidance of the Father God, so that we can meet again, thank the Father God!"

"Haha, I didn't expect us to be so destined." Lin Yifan laughed, "What? Mr. Cruise is going to make a fortune here again this time?"

"Where is it?" Cruise smiled bitterly, "This time it may be at a loss. The general of Dingxi City suffered too much loss due to the unsatisfactory war, so he took a group of kind businessmen from us and cut off a lot of money from us." Blood, it is already very good to be able to earn back the cost this time. By the way, honorable sir, since you are here, you must be purchasing goods, why not come to our firm to have a look, and I guarantee that you will be satisfied."

"Oh, Mr. Cruise, you really know how to do business. You are thinking about how to make money all the time." Lin Yifan laughed and said, "If that's the case, then I'll go in and see what good things you brought this year. Come."

"I will never let you down!" Cruise patted his fat chest confidently and said loudly.

When everyone entered the shop, they saw that it was filled with all kinds of exotic goods.Cruise followed Lin Yifan hopefully, introducing various products to him graciously.

"By the way, Mr. Cruise, haven't you sold any more slaves this year?" Lin Yifan asked while looking at the merchandise on the stage.

"The recent slave market is not booming, and it is too costly to transport thousands of miles." Cruise sighed, "In addition, the countries in the Western Continent are now fighting hard, and the control over the population is much stricter than before. The price given by the slave transportation channel was too high. We felt that buying slaves would not be worth the loss, so we turned to selling special products from various countries. It’s a pity that we don’t know that we can meet you, sir, otherwise, we would have to send a batch of them.”

"Well, when you go back in the future, try your best to buy some slaves, especially slaves with skills or knowledge. No matter how many you send, we will cover them all." Lin Yifan secretly thought it was a pity, and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, pointing to the slaves behind him. Jin Jiuyuan, "In the future, he will be in charge of the business here, and you can consult with him."

When Cruise heard the words, his face showed ecstasy, and he nodded quickly and said, "Oh, you are the most generous customer in the world, and Cruise Firm will serve you wholeheartedly." Central Plains etiquette.

Lin Yifan continued to look at the products in the store, and was suddenly attracted by a small object, "What is that, show it to me?"

Cruise followed the direction of his fingers, and immediately fixed on a crystal cup. He couldn't help being overjoyed. He quickly moved his fat body, took off the cup himself, and handed it to Lin Yifan carefully, "This is the crystal cup of the Oslan Empire. The crystal cup made by a high-level alchemist is very precious, and generally only the upper-class nobles can have it. It took me a lot of effort to buy this."

Lin Yifan picked up the crystal cup and looked at it carefully, but his heart was very excited.Isn't this glass? Although the manufacturing process is still very rough, and there are still impurities and bubbles in it, this is indeed glass. "Mr. Cruise, how is this cup made so that it is so transparent and bright?"

"This is a top-secret technology unique to the alchemist, how could we know?" Cruz shrugged and said regretfully.

"I bought this cup, how much is it?" Lin Yifan stroked the cup lightly, with a hot light in his eyes.

With glass, you can develop your own telescope and use it in military reconnaissance and command. Wouldn't it be possible to predict the enemy's opportunity?Moreover, glass has many applications. If Hengshan has glass, it can play a great role in greenhouse cultivation, chemical research, or commercial trade.But, how to make this glass?Lin Yifan's brain was involuntarily running rapidly, trying to find out the method of making glass from various information in his memory.Thoughts flashed like lightning and flint, he only remembered a few broken memories.Sand, coal, calcination, etc.

Before he had time to think about it, Cruise replied eagerly, "Honorable Sir, this cup is worth ten gold coins, about 100 taels of silver. For your sake, let's give you a discount and count it as 80 taels of silver."

"Money is not a problem, but I don't know how many crystals like this you have here, how many, and how many I want." Lin Yifan waved his hand and said proudly.

"Ah? Really, really?" Cruise couldn't help but opened his eyes and exclaimed.Then there was excitement on his face, and he nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, we still have several crystal crafts, I'll show them to you right now."

Soon, several boxes were brought to the table, and Cruise opened them one by one, preparing to introduce them to him.But Lin Yifan just raised his eyes and said directly: "Okay, we bought all of these, let's make a price."

When Cruise heard this, his hands couldn't help shaking, and he almost threw out the crystal beads already in his hands.After a little hesitation, he said tremblingly, "One, 1000 taels."

Lin Yifan nodded, and immediately looked at Jin Jiuyuan.Jin Jiuyuan understood immediately, took out a golden ticket from his body, and handed it to Cruise, "This is the golden ticket of our Jin family. You can use this golden ticket to exchange for silver in our Jin family business."

"Understood, understood!" Cruise naturally knew the status of the Jin family in Dingxi City, and immediately accepted the golden ticket without hesitation, and said happily.

After looking at it for a while, Lin Yifan didn't like anything else, he only bought some things that girls like, and he was about to say goodbye and leave.

Just when he was about to leave, he saw an inconspicuous place in the store, and a touch of white caught his eyes, "Huh? This is..."
