    Section 22 Grain Prices (Please add to your collection¡ª¡ª721¡ª¡ª>!)

    After Lin Fenghan, Vera and others arranged their salutes, they walked out of the harbor and entered the nearby Lindong City.

    Totela, a middle-aged Elantra merchant who often works here, walked over and introduced: "Lindong City covers an area of ??more than 30 to 40 square kilometers and has a population of between 50,000 and 80,000. It is a very huge coastal city.  This city is very prosperous, relying on the taxation of the seaport, manufacturing ships, maintaining ships, manufacturing handicrafts and civilizing the surrounding cities.¡±

    "The lord of this city is Baron Feitlin. This city has more than 100 square kilometers of land around it, and more than 20 villages and towns are his family's property. This man is in his fifties and is of royal blood.  He is a nobleman, but has a very bad temperament. He likes vanity, enjoyment, and ignores government affairs. Everything in this city is taken care of by his stewards and subordinates. These people do not care about managing territories that do not belong to them. They often do random things and improve their access to the port.  Taxation, fabricating numerous tax names, and oppressing foreign merchants have resulted in this city at the intersection of gold trade being less prosperous than Cape Lookout and the deep-water port of Uri Bay in the west."

    Totela stroked his beard and shook his head and said: "But the environment here must be very good, and the location is very important. Many domestic nobles use sea ships to produce their own food, cotton, linen, iron ore, and other products in exchange for funds. This place has  Many nearby nobles from the north come here to trade, and we can indeed buy a lot of things we need in our territory here."

    "Um!"

    Lin Fenghan smiled and said: "Totela, please take me to the trading market. I'll learn more and see if I can buy some gadgets I like ¡ª¡ª 721 ¡ª¡ª>."

    "Baron!" Totela lowered his head and smiled: "You are too polite, everyone, come with me!"

    Everyone followed the flow of people and paid the city entry fee, entering the commercial road in the east area of ??the city.  Lin Fenghan looked with interest at the houses and roads built with bricks, wood, and gravel, as well as the endless flow of people wearing various robes, walking into the grain trading area.

    Vera handed the kettle in her hand to Lin Fenghan with concern, and asked doubtfully: "Baron, why don't you ride a horse or make a carriage, but walk into the city streets? How tiring it is!"

    "hehe!"

    Lin Fenghan smiled slightly and said: "Walking among the crowd and feeling the lively atmosphere, I feel that I am an ordinary human being. Only then can I feel the hardships of the world, understand the people's troubles, and gain more knowledge."

    Lin Fenghan had already arrived at the first grain store in the commercial street. This grain store had a large facade and the front of the house was more than ten meters wide. Lin Fenghan picked up a handful of wheat and asked: "Boss, what are the major grain stores here now?"  price?"

    A man in his forties, with a strong build, wearing a leather hat and long black hair said:

    ¡°Rice costs 4.8 copper coins per pound.

    Corn is 4.2 copper coins per pound.

    Wheat costs 4.5 copper coins per pound.

    Soybeans cost 10 copper coins per pound.

    Xiaomi 4.2 copper coins per pound.

    Barley costs 4.1 copper coins per pound.  "

    "Ah! This seems to be very cheap ¡ª¡ª 721 ¡ª¡ª>!" Lin Fenghan nodded in confusion.

    ¡°It¡¯s still cheap!¡±

    Totela quickly grabbed Lin Fenghan and said, "Lord Baron, the food sold in the city is very expensive. Let's buy it from the downstream, or buy it in the granary. It's more than half the price."

    "There's nothing we can do about it!"

    The middle-aged businessman stretched out his hands and said helplessly: "You can buy ten kilograms of cabbage for one copper coin in the field, but you have to transport the cabbage to the city. It takes a lot of manpower and material resources. Excluding the time and energy spent by the driver, we sell it here.  Food is not expensive.¡±

    "oh!"

    Lin Fenghan suddenly nodded and said, "That's right!"

    "Let's go!"

    "Let's go!"

    Totela took Lin Fenghan's left hand and left the grain store, and whispered to Lin Fenghan: "Lord Baron, we buy here at the cost of buying at the granary. The price is basically kept at 2.2 copper coins per pound. 100 pounds of grain costs  About 2.4 silver coins.¡±

    "Why is it so cheap? Is there any reason behind this?" Lin Fenghan asked with interest.

    Totela's expression froze, he frowned, then he let go, and sighed: "That's it, Baron! When nobles and businessmen buy wheat and corn from farmers, the price is only 1.2 to 1.7 copper coins per pound.  Price, they made profits by transporting grain to the city and selling it at double the price. In various noble cities, a part of the tax revenue was still collected directly in the form of grain. This grain was stored in the castles and warehouses of the nobles, and was usually collected by the stewards and  ?I am responsible for guarding.  "

    "It's very serious here in Lindong City. After bribing the person in charge of the granary, we can sell it at a low price, which is slightly higher than the cost price in the market warehouse, to get the grain that is stored in the official granary and cannot be traded. Through this  Method, we have continuously purchased more than 6,400 100 kilograms of standard grain bags ¡ª¡ª 721 ¡ª¡ª>."

    "It is precisely because this city is a big city and the bureaucracy is corrupt that we set up an office here and smuggle food."

    "oh!"

    Lin Fenghan nodded and said, "So that's it!"

    "Ahem!"

    Totela looked at the enlightened Lin Fenghan, Vera and others, coughed and said: "We have transported 640,000 kilograms of grain here so far. It is the early spring season and the grain reserves here are expected to be between 5 million kilograms and 9 million kilograms.  time. At present, we have mobilized many ships to transport and purchase. It is estimated that the food here will be lower than the normal reserve level of the market in less than a month. By then, the price of food here will definitely rise. So let¡¯s take a look at the food stores here.  Yes, please don't be aggressive. If these people recognize us as the troublemaker in the future, we will definitely be in trouble next time."

    "Baron, Lindong City is the southeasternmost port on the northern continent of the Kingdom. In addition to the food street, this block also has a linen and cloth clothing commercial street, an antique stone and handicraft trading street, an opera house, and a gladiatorial arena. It covers an area of ??three to five square kilometers.  Clouds of brothels, and finally the largest slave exchange on the eastern coast."

    Having said this, Totela glanced at Lin Fenghan with deep fear and whispered: "Lord Baron, Lindong City has five major entertainment venues, song and dance halls, casinos, arenas, brothel streets, and slave trading grounds. This city's  There are more than a dozen brothels. The number of performances and the number of beauties are among the best in coastal cities. I have been there several times in my spare time. Today, the baron finally came to Lindong City to inspect, so I will spend money to invite the baron to go there today.  .¡±

    "Wow!"

    Paros¡¯s eyes lit up and he drooled as he said, ¡°Brother Totela, what are the service prices in this brothel! I also want to go in and experience it.¡±

    "Yes! One"

    "I want to go too"

    "I also need to go"

    ¡­¡­

    Vera, Sfit, Felit, Planner, Vadolan and others all opened their eyes wide and shouted ¡ª¡ª 721 ¡ª¡ª>.  The loud sound caused the surrounding pedestrians to look sideways, and they all laughed strangely and kept away from a few people.

    "asshole!"

    Totela looked at the eyes of the passers-by around him and shouted angrily at Paros: "You bastards, can't you keep your voices down?"

    Totela led more than a dozen people to a corner of the street. Looking at Lin Fenghan and others who were confused, he introduced in detail: "According to the level of beauties, services are different and prices are also different. Brothels have many functions, in addition to making love between men and women.  In addition, there are many ancillary businesses such as songs, operas, pedicures, massages, and health care. There are items with prices ranging from 50 copper coins, 1 silver coin, to 100 silver coins."

    "Ahem!"

    Lin Fenghan shook his head slowly and said: "No need to talk about this, I don't want to go, let's go to the clothing store and antique store first!"

    "All right!"

    Totela shook his head gently, stretched out his hand and walked forward.

    Today is March 22, 2013 at 17:40:35. When I was spitting, I suddenly found that the sputum was mixed with blood, and there was a lot of it. I went to Baiduo to search, and it said that there are many reasons for coughing up blood.  I rarely got sick in the past, and combined with my own reasons, I know it is because I have been too tired these days. From today on, I go to bed after 9 o'clock in the evening, eat and sleep on time, and I am no longer so tired.

    Why!

    If working hard and coughing up blood can lead to good grades, it¡¯s worth it!  But now, my novel¡¯s grades are not good, and I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s worth it?  ?  ?  ?  ?  ?  ?  ?  ?
