My Empire War Game

"Attracting wandering heroes?" After seeing this message, Su Lun's breathing instantly increased a bit.

There are only three heroes in his territory now, Johnson, Dwayne and Chris. Each hero is not weak. If heroes can be recruited, the value of this tavern will be even higher.

Arranging for someone to open the tavern, Su Lun deliberately went to the tavern to sit for a while. After experiencing the tavern, I instructed the person in charge to collect information in the tavern and pay attention to some strange people.

After the tavern opened, Sullen found that the barbarian warriors loved it more than the school grounds, so Sullen had to restrict them.

In order to deal with the next trade, Su Lun built a barracks near the trading market. This is a resting place for soldiers. Next to the barracks is the tax office of the trading market. The tax office is very simple now, and there is no tax officer in the territory. Appointment, only Chrissy can serve concurrently.

Fortunately, there are no other taxes in the territory except for the caravan to trade. This is why Su Lun has not appointed a tax officer for a long time. After all, there is no tax.

For the caravan to trade, this must be taxed. In the territory, as long as the transaction exceeds 100 gold nars, it must be recorded at the tax office, and a certain amount of tax must be paid. The transaction amount is limited to less than 100 gold coins, and once found, it will be directly punished ten times.

All transactions must be conducted in the trading market, and trading outside the trading market is considered illegal, and the goods will be directly confiscated by the soldiers responsible for market security.

After coming out of the tavern, Su Lun saw Jean with a dusty face at a glance.

"It's great to see you, Sir, I was just going to report to you." Jean was overjoyed when he saw Su Lun, walked quickly to Su Lun, and then bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty, The caravan returned to the territory safely, and all the goods and materials were not damaged. This time, we purchased 300 slaves from Cartel City, and we also made a profit of 1,500 gold nars from this trade."

so much?

Su Lun was stunned for a moment, then took the bill and looked at it.

The biggest credit on the bill is sugar. Gene brought a total of 50 catties of sugar when he went to Cart City for trade this time. Kinnar. Fifty catties of white sugar sold for nearly 8,000 jinnars in Calente City.

Then, it cost more than 5,000 gold nars to purchase supplies in Carter City, and more than 1,000 jin nars to buy 300 slaves.

The average price of white sugar sold by Gene was almost 230 jinnars per pound, which was several times higher than the price of the allocated white sugar. As a result, all the white sugar was sold out before it even arrived for a long time, and there were still a lot of them. Nobles and merchants who didn't buy sugar wanted to make reservations, but without Su Lun's order, Jean didn't dare to accept it.

"It seems that those nobles have a very strong demand for white sugar." Su Lun thought for a while.

Although he was already mentally prepared, he still underestimated the nobles' love for white sugar. These nobles who lived extravagantly had reached a very high level of pursuing various material enjoyments. The long-term peace made the nobles more and more arrogant and extravagant.

"Good job." Sullen patted Gene's shoulder in praise.

Gene is very satisfied with his current job, from a poor mercenary who eats and drinks dew and licks blood every day to a businessman who has a family and a business and works for a territorial aristocrat. The change filled him with gratitude for Sullen, the man who gave it all.

"These are all your guidelines, I just did some basic things." Gene said respectfully.

As the first mercenary hired by Sullen to open up his territory, Jean watched Sullen overcome all obstacles, gain a firm foothold in this dangerous wilderness, and then lead which barbarian warriors to victory again and again.

In just over two months, he built a town from scratch and unearthed a gold mine in this barren land. Now he thinks he is witnessing the rise of a legend. .

And being able to follow a legendary figure is also of great benefit to himself. Maybe he can take this opportunity to become a new noble from a commoner.

"Gene, don't be humble, I know all your hard work." Su Lun nodded at him.

After this period of caravan work, Jean's negotiation and trade skills have improved, which is the most obvious change.

"Sir, only a few of the slaves purchased this time have skills, and the other slaves can only be serfs or handymen."

"I'm sorry sir, which nobles bought most of the skilled artisan slaves..."

For skilled slaves, they are in short supply in the slave market, and they are basically monopolized by big businessmen and nobles, and others can only pick up leftovers from their hands. Su Lun was able to buy dozens of artisan slaves because of his aristocratic status.

"More than 300 slaves, which artisan slaves will be divided according to their skills. As for the remaining slaves, let them build roads." Su Lun quickly arranged their own places for these slaves.

"Sir, this time we are selling white sugar in Carter City, and many people are asking about our source of supply. I followed your instructions and told a few companies that they have decided to come to our territory to trade."

"Okay, I see." Su Lun released news that attracting other chambers of commerce to come here is to let more people compete for sugar.

Of course, in addition to sugar, the arrival of many chambers of commerce will also drive the development of territorial commerce, which is very important to the development of Su Lun's territory.

As for white sugar, he plans to trade 500 pounds of sugar every month.

Five hundred catties of white sugar are divided into five parts, and then auctioned one by one, the highest bidder wins. In order to prevent those caravans from secretly colluding and suppressing the price, Su Lun decided to use dark bidding.

The price is kept confidential, and each person has only one chance to bid. In this way, even if they have negotiated the price in advance and divided the share, it is useless. In order not to be eliminated, you can only increase the price.

Those caravans did not follow Jean to Zhenbei Fort, they were ready to come together.

For the upcoming trade, Sulun gave the slaves priority to build the roads of the trading market, and the roads of the territory also began to extend outwards.

Building roads in this era cost a lot, and Su Lun required that all roads in the territory were gravel roads at a minimum, and some places even needed slate paving. Such roads are not dusty on sunny days and muddy on rainy days.
