The beginning is the emperor

Chapter 82 Markets
At present, there are only a few generals in the new country, Tian Dan, Wang Xuan, Hao Meng and Meng Ben. Of course, the only ones who can lead the army independently are Tian Dan and Wang Xuan.

These two people are strong enough, so there is no need to worry about their loyalty. Hao Meng is actually reluctant, but Ren Tian has doubts about his loyalty and will never hand over the legion to him, otherwise if there is a war in the new country , it is estimated that this guy Hao Meng will take away his army.

Hao Meng Hao Meng, not cute at all.

In Ren Tian's heart, the importance of the four generals is naturally Hao Meng at the bottom. Hao Meng doesn't even have a special title, in fact, he just has one more skill than ordinary generals.

As for Meng Ben, there is no doubt that he will be a fierce general, and his poor commander-in-chief points are even less suitable for being a commander-in-chief.

After such a careful calculation, there are only two legions that can be pulled out to fight independently, the Imperial Guard Legion and the Shanzi Army. The remaining two legions are still recruiting soldiers, and there is no suitable leader for the legion yet.

This can only be done slowly. Without a commander, these soldiers can only be used to garrison the city for the time being, and cannot fight in the wild at all.

Various chaotic thoughts flashed through Ren Tian's mind, Ren Tian suppressed these thoughts and said, "Go to the market."

"Yes."

The little eunuch immediately led the way, walked out of the North City, and then walked south. The entire DC area was along the central street near the river. Originally, a large part of this place was residential, but now all the land has been requisitioned and rebuilt into a Small scale market.

The nearby houses have already received subsidies, and they have bought land to build houses in other places in the city, which is exactly the same as the current monetization and resettlement of shed reform.

Standing in front of Ren Tian, ​​this market is of the kind that runs through. There are four gates on the front, back, left, and right sides. The gates are open and made of red-lacquered solid wood. There are many caravans near the market, displaying all kinds of goods, and the market is crowded with people.

Out of curiosity, Ren Tian walked in.

There were people coming and going in this market, and many people from Nan County were walking through the market. Some people spread cloth on the ground with various goods on it, and some people brought a table.

It seemed to be in order. There were nearly a hundred stalls here, large and small. There were different caravans behind each stall. There were also some residents of Nan County who wanted to do business, so they rented some stalls.

"The best silk, come and have a look."

"Jingzhou ceramics, smooth ceramics."

"Does anyone need farm tools? I have farm tools from Weizhou here, and the latest models are lighter."

"The tea leaves are here, the tea leaves are here. The spring tea made after the spring this year is sold cheap."

Various noisy sounds echoed in the market. It was so lively. Ren Tian nodded secretly in his heart, and opened the building like the market. He looked at the commercial tax rate. The current commercial tax rate is not high. The standard tax rate index is 3 %.

There are many types of commercial taxes in history, such as overtax and residential tax, but they are all unified in the game. The tax rate for caravans entering the city is the same as the tax for market transactions. The principle of taxation in the market is that transactions exceed a certain amount. After the price, the tax is levied.

This method is also quite reasonable. Regarding this tax rate, Nintendo has no intention of increasing or reducing it. Increasing taxes will drive away those caravans invisibly, and reducing taxes will greatly attract caravans. The current purchasing power of Nan County is just like this, and the market size is not too big, so it is not worthwhile.

There are also some caravans selling cattle in the market. Ren Tian took a look and saw that there were special personnel standing there at the stalls, asking everyone, "Do you want to buy cattle? It's not expensive, only one gold and twenty silver."

"Do you want to farm cattle? The best farm cattle, male and female, are all outside the city. If you want, I'll have someone take you there to see them?"

Animals like farm cattle are no longer able to enter the city, so these caravans are all placed in nearby villages.

Around these people, there are quite a few common people around, and some people took them to the village to watch cattle.

Ren Tian walked around the market and started to look at the goods.

Looking over, the information of each item popped up.

Item: oiled paper umbrella
Introduction: The oil-paper umbrella produced in Huangzhou can be used to hold an umbrella when it rains. The price is 10 copper coins.

A very cheap oiled paper umbrella, Ren Tian smiled, and then looked at the other items.

Item: Green Salt

Introduction: Qingzhou’s top-quality green salt is priced at 25 copper coins per catty (Note: This item is a smuggled item, report it to market management officials, and the caravan can be driven out of the city).

Ren Tian was a little surprised, can he still smuggle?

However, things like salt and iron have always been a national monopoly in ancient times. Salt has always been a matter of getting rich. Being able to smuggle salt is considered a skill.

Ren Tian shook his head, smuggling is smuggling, anyway, what is being smuggled is not from his own country. There is only one source of salt in Xinguo, and the supply of salt is barely enough. It is an additional supplement for these traders to provide salt. .

Ren Tian walked a few more steps, and suddenly, Ren Tian stopped in front of a booth.

When the businessman saw someone stopping, he immediately said expectantly: "Sir, do you want to see something?"

Ren Tian looked at each other: "Are these drawings?"

"Yes, do you need it? If you use these items to forge and sell them to the army, you can definitely earn money. Even if you don't sell them to the army, they are much better than ordinary items."

The man was rambling on, but before Ren Tian's eyes, there were several drawings and information.

Blueprint: Thick Leather Helm
Function: defense +5, fatal attack defense +10, weight +0.5
Introduction: The thick leather helmet produced in Bingzhou, blacksmiths learn the blueprint, and can create a thick leather helmet in Bingzhou. Compared with ordinary helmets, the thick leather helmet has a thicker defense.

Blueprint: Paneled Leather Armor

Function: Defense +15, Weight +1.0
Introduction: The protective leather armor produced in Bingzhou. If a blacksmith learns the blueprint, he can create Bingzhou paneled leather armor. This leather armor has better defense than ordinary leather armor.

In addition, there are three blueprints, which are Bingzhou Armor, Bingzhou Hard Leather Pants, and Bingzhou Straw Sandals, which are basically items and equipment that a soldier needs.

Ren Tian looked at these blueprints, and inexplicably remembered the introduction in the previous market building: "When players visit privately on WeChat, there will be a small chance of finding treasures in the market." These blueprints are simply more affordable than treasures!

If a set of equipment can be built and equipped in batches for soldiers, the defense will definitely be greatly improved, and the survival rate and combat effectiveness on the battlefield will also be greatly improved!

You must know that in addition to the attributes on the surface, equipment and defense are also useful, but they are not directly reflected. If the entire army equipment is replaced, at least the combat effectiveness will rise to another level. If you bought the blueprint yourself, you will definitely not suffer a loss.

So Ren Tian directly interrupted the businessman: "I want all five blueprints."
