“Good wine from Old Town! Taste is welcome!”

...

With the endless shouts of hawking, Zhang Cheng finally saw the true face of this so-called second largest city in Westeros.

Like most medieval-style cities, the sanitation in King's Landing is really poor, and it can even be called dirty and messy. The streets and buildings are completely unplanned, piled up in a mess, and occasionally smells pungent excrement and urine. taste.

However, due to its close proximity to the sea and river, the trade is very prosperous, at least there is no trace of turmoil now. Every businessman is desperately selling his products to passers-by to earn huge profits. Bring a lot of taxes to the royal family.

Zhang Chengcheng was a little puzzled, sitting on such a cornucopia, how could Green Hat King Robert owe a debt of up to six million golden dragons.

As long as a few laws to protect and promote maritime trade are promulgated, and a few privateer fleets are funded to burn, kill, loot, and establish colonies outside, it won't be long before the Westeros version of the Age of Great Voyage will begin. Don't worry about money.

But it is a pity, maybe it is limited by his vision, or there may be other factors that he does not know. In short, although the owner of the Iron Throne has a fairly powerful royal fleet, he has never used this fleet to absorb wealth.

Billy drove the carriage carefully through the chaotic streets, and soon stopped in an alley marked Flour Street.

It's easy to tell from the smell of wheat and meat around it that this is the food processing district that supplies the city with bread, sausages and cooked meat products.

Not far away, a few busy apprentices are assisting the master to take out the freshly baked bread, put it into the wooden baskets prepared in advance, and then put it on a carriage and transport it to various hotels, restaurants and markets.

The fat man jumped out of the car skillfully, knocked on the door of one of the food workshops, and shouted at the top of his voice: Jian! Jan! Come out! The goods you want have arrived!

Damn it! Don't be noisy! If my toast is burnt, it will definitely peel your skin. A grumpy voice quickly came from the room.

After about two or three minutes, an old man with rough skin and a face around his face pushed open the closed door, waiting for two cloudy eyes to ask, Where's my goods?

Well, it's all in the car. It's definitely the best flour, and there's absolutely no wheat bran. You have to give me a good price. Billy pointed to the cloth bag placed at the back.

Humph! No wheat bran? You told me the same last time, but I found out that it was at least one-sixth of it. If you dare to play such a trick this time, I will tell Jinpao, Let them talk to you about integrity. The old man threatened as he tore open the bag to check the quality of the flour.

Although in Zhang Cheng's opinion, this yellow-to-brown wheat flour must contain a lot of impurities, but he showed a satisfied expression: Not bad! Compared with the last time, it has improved by two grades, and I will give you more. Thirty percent of the price.

No! No! No! Jain, you have to understand that flour like this is not easy to come by, thirty percent is so low,

At least fifty percent. Don't think I don't know how much a good flour like this can sell for when baked, you're a little too greedy, old man. The fat man shook his head desperately trying to bargain.

Fifty percent? Are you crazy? The tournament has not started yet! What's more, the reason why the bread can be sold at a high price is not only because of the good quality of the flour, but also because of the baking skills that have been passed down from three generations of my ancestors. Forty, if you don't agree, get out. The old man called Jaen directly issued an ultimatum.

If it weren't for the recent surge in the floating population in Jun's Landing City, and the consumption of various foods and drinks, he would not be taken advantage of.

Billy narrowed his eyes and stared at the other party, as if he wanted to judge whether there was a possibility of increasing the price. After a full ten seconds, he pretended to reluctantly agreed: Okay, for the sake of our cooperation for many years, The deal. Also, I brought some sausages, cured meat, live chicken, and wine, if you need them, take them all, and I'll have to run to the next one.

Old price? Jain tentatively asked with a look of distrust.

Of course it's a 40% price increase! Let me tell you, in the next period of time, a large number of knights and nobles will flood into King's Landing. As long as you can serve them well, you are guaranteed to make a fortune, so don't be wrong. Friends are so stingy. Fatty unceremoniously fought for his own interests.

Bastard! You are really a greedy viper! Be careful to hold yourself to death! Unload the goods, I'll take it all. After that, Jia En waved his hand into the room.

In the blink of an eye, two young apprentices ran out, carrying flour, food, and drinks into the warehouse one by one.

After a simple calculation, the old man threw a leather bag full of silver deer to the fat man.

The latter carefully counted it again and confirmed that there was no mistake, and the two parties were considered to complete the transaction.

Although there are more valuable currencies such as the golden dragon and the silver moon, in the commercial field, the silver deer is the currency with the largest number and the most widespread circulation.

Zhang Cheng did not speak from the beginning to the end, and watched the entire transaction process silently, and at the same time had a general understanding of the business atmosphere of Junlin City.

First of all, most of the time, the two parties of the transaction do not sign any contract or agreement on paper, but rely on oral commitments and personal credit guarantees.

Secondly, there are definitely many tricks such as cheating and cheating. If you are not careful, 80% of them will be killed.

Finally, the administration and laws rarely interfere with the behavior of merchants, nor do they invent inexplicable taxes like the European lords of the dark Middle Ages on Earth.

Just when he was going to continue to observe the surrounding customs, Fatty finally emptied the entire carriage and invited him with a smile: Sir, get in the car, I'll take you to the place you want to go now...
