Stories Of Nine Cities

In the middle of the night, they went up the mountain and then down the mountain in a hurry. After sleeping for two hours, they got up to pack up their things and set out. When they were close to the mining boundary, the three men gave up riding and should go all the way from the mountain to the camp.

With a compass in his hand, Jun linwan bit the pen and ink to mark something on Liu Ao's open paper. Occasionally, he would check the plants growing on the ground, or dig a pit with some soil. It looks like that. It makes Liu Ao feel more at ease, and he is more willing to help. On the contrary, it makes Han xixie look superfluous.

Looking at the seemingly busy junlinwan and liuao with a cold face, hanxixie is silent all the time, but occasionally he looks at the beautiful river and mountain in the distance in a daze, so that he often misses the call of people around him.

"Young master? Young master Looking at hanxixie standing in the distance, liuao picked up his things and came over.

"Young master, I'm leaving. What are you looking at?" Flow Ao along the other side line of sight look, but what didn't see out of the frown asked a sentence.

"Well? Is it all done? " Hanxixie looks back at liuao, and at the same time, she also looks at junlinwan, who is walking down the mountain. Her pretty figure is as crisp as walking on the ground.

If it wasn't for the mutual agreement, I'm afraid he couldn't keep such a person! Cold Xi evil thought in the heart, don't know why, because of this idea and some unhappy frown.

"Almost, jun'er said that he wanted to go to the opposite mountain to have a look. After seeing it, he should be able to go to the camp." Liu Ao said also looked at the direction of Jun Lin night, did not expect that the other side action so fast, so quickly turned to keep up, did not forget to turn back and shout.

"Young master, let's move faster, or we can't get to the village before dark. If we miss the time, I'm afraid we'll have to sleep in the mountains again." With that, Liu Ao turned and jumped down the mountain road. He saw that Han xixie frowned, but he still followed.

Three people in the mountains for a few days, quite embarrassed finally arrived at the foot of the mountain village before dark, found the inn to settle down, ordered the second child to go to the kitchen to cook, at the same time, also let people bring hot water to wash.

Because hanxixie was noble, he lived alone. Liuao and junlinwan should have lived together, but somehow, hanxixie made people prepare three rooms, which made junlinwan feel relieved for convenience.

When the three people were clear, the dinner in the kitchen was ready. In the corner of the hall, near the charcoal fire, except for hanxixie, liuao and junlinwan seemed to be hungry.

It's very quiet because we only care about food, which naturally enlarges the voice of the people around us. At the long table behind the screen, it seems that there are a group of merchants who are talking about business. It's not strange that someone talks about tax with a sigh. It's just like throwing a huge stone into a river, causing waves.

"Now it's really more and more difficult to do this business. The taxes of every city are different, and they always change according to their mood. It's estimated that the goods stored last year can only be sold at a low price this year." Someone said with a sigh.

"It's not true. I thought that the fur imported from the city would be used in this winter. As a result, the customs duties for transit have been collected three times, and the soaring prices have lost the market. It's estimated that we will have to wait for next year."

"Your fur is OK. It's not a problem to keep it properly. The problem is that my medicinal materials are stuck by Customs on the way home. I'm worried about getting wet in the rainy season. I can't make any money when I send them here. I can only sell them at a low price in the local area. As a result, I can't even pay for the travel expenses." It's sad to think about it.

"What are you? All the ores in my warehouse are going to be piled out of the warehouse. I don't know where the work department is so busy. We've found all the smelting masters, so we have nothing to do. Now we all sell the ores cheaply to the government. What's the point of you saying that I've worked hard to buy a mining right from the government, and then sell it back cheaply, and the money I earn is not enough to send out labor services? " Those who said this looked at the crowd and shook their heads.

"It's not. The labor cost will be reduced by half, otherwise there will be no money to earn."

"You don't have to say that since the end of last year, when there was a rebellion there, the refugees are hard to find. Without cheap labor, I don't dare to do business casually."

"Don't talk about business. It's hard to find a delivery person. It's risky to do it by yourself. Just look for someone! I don't feel at ease. The point is that those who have a way have to pump oil. It's like a business group made up of refugees. They don't dare to make trouble even though the price is low. If they don't get it right, they will lose their heads. They can put 120 hearts at ease. "

"Well, when can you get rid of it? I'm still waiting to see lion dragon city! "

"I don't know when to clean it up, but I don't know why in lion dragon city. It seems that I'm very interested in brocade this year. I've recruited a lot of brocade people, so that the tax of brocade has changed. I dare not go."

"Really, can't these eight cities manage all these tariffs in a unified way? These dead things are OK. What about the living things and farming? I don't dare to hoard goods at will, and I don't dare to move them at will. If I can't make them rotten, I can lose my life. "

"Are you stupid? Eight cities are waiting to see whether other cities are rich or poor, and they all customize their tariffs through this. If they are unified, where can they make money? There are also monopolies of those crafts, such as the silkworm weaving and dyeing of lion dragon, the civil carving of Jai canthus, the smelting and forging of Pang, the fur mineral of Pang kiss If everyone is the same, who will be afraid of who? ""Just like the original Jiaotu, no one is afraid. What's the result? It's destroyed by eight cities, isn't it? "

"It's not that, with our vast territory and abundant resources, we are looking forward to the mutiny. Fortunately, we found it early, otherwise we can live and work in peace and contentment?"

"So this also has such advantages, that is, if it's cheaper than the Ministry of industry, the red envelope is expected to go up this time."

"It's OK to go up. I'm afraid I won't get stuck. It's better to be a trader."

"You think it's easy to go shopping! Throughout the year, in the barter trade in various cities, if you receive the wrong goods once, you may lose all your money. If you meet a mountain bandit, it's a complete end. "

"So! It's better to rely on the government as a backer. Although the profit will be less, the risk is small, and it's not entirely without benefits. "

It's estimated that it's a village in the wild. I don't think there will be any dignitaries, so these people are completely forgetful of themselves, and they don't notice that there are people like hanxixie behind the screen.

Jun Lin night secretly looked at Hanxi evil, see each other always face unchanged eating, as if nothing heard the same, this let her can't help but frown.

"Young master, it seems that it is not entirely because of us that the Ministry of work will transfer all the people this time." It was Liu Ao who spoke first. When he heard this, he couldn't help saying something like this.

"Because of the rebellion and the vagrant movement in juanjun County, all the mountain watchers hid, and what they knew was controlled by the prime minister, so that I could do nothing. Therefore, I'm afraid that there will be no one to watch the mountain in Juanqin, which is far away in the northwest, this year. Mining will also have an impact. It's inevitable that the price of mineral trade in the market will rise. The Ministry of industry will raise taxes to take back the private ore, and then forge it into utensils, I'm afraid it will be a lot of income if the goods are scarce and expensive. "

Han xixie's response in a low voice doesn't seem to pay attention to those conversations.

"It's no wonder that the Ministry of work will keep writing to the master, urging him to do the work of starting the mountain. He wanted to take advantage of the east wind." Liu Ao said suddenly.

"It's because he wants to take advantage of this wind that we know that this vein is actually profitable, isn't it?" If you were suspicious of this vein at the beginning, you can be sure now. If this vein is not really valuable, the Ministry of industry will not be so anxious. If he wants to wait for his failure to start the mountain, he will be able to take over the market. If he still takes over the dark market, his profit will be more than twice as bad as that of the surface.

"If the ore is really mined and there is a smelter, it will be your turn to take advantage of this trend." Think of what flow Ao a face excited, looking at cold Xi evil eyes have light.

"Before that, we have to position the mountain first." Hanxixie, who said this, turned to look at junlinwan, who could not help frowning slightly, and then opened his mouth in the sight of liuao and hanxixie.

"Everything is almost ready. It shouldn't be difficult."

"Really?" Liu Ao happily looks at the king's arrival in the evening, and then turns to look at Hanxi evil.

"Young master, can we plan the freight next?" Before the Ministry of industry was ready, it was better for them to start first and make a small profit first. Liu Ao thought in his heart.

"No hurry." Cold Xi evil is calm, let flow Ao looking at him some doubt.

"No hurry? I don't think there's any way not to worry about the current situation in the government? " Liu Ao frowned and looked at hanxixie, but the latter didn't speak until Junlin night suddenly broke the silence.

"You want a dyer?" Seeing what hanxixie said just now, she should also have a lot of research on the market, otherwise she would not have believed his identity as a businessman at first sight.

Why do you know so much about these market affairs when you are a childe? Jun Lin looks at Hanxi evil strangely in the evening.

"What? What's the problem? " Cold Xi evil looking at the king asked in the evening.

"No, it's just strange. After all, it's an official mine. Even if you want to get involved, it's not so easy, is it?" If not, it will be against the law. Don't you dig your own grave then?

"It depends on what you do. If it's just freight, it's OK." Once the smelting starts, what is forged is the finished product. Although there is no mineral transportation, the transportation of goods is still necessary. Otherwise, what's the use of forging and piling in the mountains? This should have been an official business, but since the order was received, the cost was naturally passed on.

In order to ensure the safety of the goods, the receiving party will naturally entrust a third party to carry the goods. In this way, if there is an accident on the way, there will be a compensation. The establishment of a compensation mechanism means that the freight will be 10% higher. As long as there is no accident, there will be no compensation.

"Do you think the Ministry will let go?" Is the Ministry stupid to make money? Jun Lin asked with a frown in the evening.

"How much risk do you think the Ministry is willing to take?" Cold Xi evil smile not smile of looking at the king to come late to ask.

Yes! If the monopoly is so far, what else is going on?
