It's easier to spot up close, it's mostly wood.
A wooden royal court of this size cannot be made of wood. It must be something similar to the world tree. This place is probably related to the mother of all living beings. I heard that she likes to build all kinds of giant trees.
Looking at the surface again, it is obvious that it is a new city. Private houses of various shapes do not even fill a quarter of the city wall, and there are also large open spaces between the buildings.
The unusual figure of the two people attracted the attention of many passers-by. They did not dare to stay too long and quickly asked for directions.
Brother Manu, who has the blessing of language knowledge, realized that the language used by people this time was different.
But it doesn't matter, as long as you can understand.
Following the instructions, the two took the camel beast car into the shadow directly below the giant royal court. There were a large number of sharp blades and night tribes enjoying the cool weather here, probably tens of thousands, and it was impossible to count them.
Through this, the two brothers also discovered something was wrong.
"Brother, there are no foreigners among them. The two of us may be the first to discover this city."
Brother Manu nodded, his eyes shining.
Being the first to discover a new city means that the specialties in this city have not yet become popular and huge profits are easily available.
Speeding up the pace, the two of them arrived at the door of the city warehouse in a car and asked the guards how to replenish the goods.
The guard didn't bother to explain, so he pointed his hand and the two of them saw the notice board.
The notice board is on the wall of the warehouse, and it is written in extremely detail. Each type of goods includes three numbers, which are the warehouse purchase price, shipping price, and limited tonnage.
It was a bit unclear. Brother Manu was not afraid of embarrassment, so he licked his face and asked the guard what the tonnage limit meant.
"The warehouse will no longer sell when it is below the lowest value, and will no longer buy when it is above the highest value."
Brother Manu suddenly realized that it was amazing.
Although the guard explains it clearly in one sentence, this is a very novel way to solve over-provisioning.
In general, if a few caravans in a city happen to deliver the same durable consumables to your doorstep, the market price will plummet, the caravans will not make any money, and local merchants will have a headache to ship goods.
For example, for one pound of raw magic crystal, the normal shipping price of a caravan ranges from 80 to 130 gold coins, which is really more expensive than gold, but its audience is very small. Only gemmakers associated with mages are in need of unprocessed magic crystal. .
It is difficult for a jeweler or a shop to come up with the money to supply several caravans at once. If you want to buy the goods, you have to borrow money or the caravan will lower the price. No one can lend huge sums of money. If a caravan moves to another city, it will bear huge security risks due to the exposure of high-value goods. Therefore, the caravan often chooses to ship at a reduced price to reduce the difficulty of fundraising for the buyer.
But if the buyer really hoards so many rough stones, it will be a headache. Mages are a group of people who are difficult to serve, and there are only a few of them. They may consume them all in a month, or they may not buy any in ten years. Merchants and gemmakers are equal to Trapped.
With limited tonnage, caravans can better estimate the amount of cargo they carry, and the chance of cargo collisions will be greatly reduced.
Moreover, this is an urban warehouse. Even if there is an excess of goods, it can be transferred to the private sector at a slightly discounted price. The locals can know the inventory limit immediately, and will definitely take over as long as there is a certain profit.
But the method is a good one, that is, not having too many goods in stock.
The existing stocks include soybeans, watermelon sugar powder, pineapple sugar powder, paper, coarse cloth, obsidian, leather, and sulfur, all of which are below the shipping limit except obsidian.
Obsidian can also be used. I heard that obsidian is very useful for tailoring scissors and daggers. It is rare in origin and has a certain profit. High-quality obsidian is also a casting material, not as good as magic crystal, but it is cheaper and more suitable for one-time magic. The gem is released faster than the scroll, but it can only infuse fire and earth magic.
In addition to the inventory section, there are also various purchased items on the notice board that are not in stock, such as magic notes, cloth, salt, spices, various ores, etc.
Realizing that the weight units used locally were also different, Brother Manu licked his face again and consulted the guard. The guard was a little irritable, but he still gave an answer and did not hit anyone.
It turns out that many people have wooden pots, and one pot of water is one kilogram, almost three pounds.
According to mining experience, it is very profitable, but unfortunately, the two brothers have no money and no goods!
Damn it, it’s all the fault of those bastards in Red Rock City!
Leaving the city warehouse, the two continued to explore business opportunities in the city and looked for any jobs with better pay.
It is very strange that no matter what they do in this city, the salary given to the two of them is 1 yuan a day!
One yuan can buy ten pots of sugar water, and even if you let the locals do it for you, you can buy eight pots. It is enough to live a lazy life for a few days. It is absolutely high price. The problem of blacksmith apprentices is only one yuan. It is obviously not the same technology as mining. It is really strange.
The last job the two of them found was to collect sulfur. There was no foreman for this job, so anyone could do it if they were willing to do it, because the hot spring water with sulfur blocks was very hot. There were not many locals doing it. The Qingyan people were not so afraid of being hot, so they were more efficient. .
After collecting sulfur for a day, I went to the city warehouse to sell it and got five one-yuan Phoenix coins!
This is picking up money!
The two brothers became more motivated and spent three days earning more than 20 coins, sleeping on the floor like many people in the city. According to local calculations, more than 200 kilograms of sugar water for more than 20 yuan should be sold for three to five gold coins when sent home, which still feels a bit small.
Just save the sulfur and sell it back. The value of the sulfur is relatively limited, and the demand is not large.
Brother Manu took out one yuan and handed it to the warehouse guard, hoping to see the quality of the obsidian. As a result, as soon as the money was passed through, the man was caught, twisted to the side and hung up.
Brother Manu looked confused and followed him with the camel beast. He didn't take the language knowledge capsule, so he couldn't understand what others were saying and didn't know how to ask.
Brother Manu is optimistic. Not only is he not angry, he is also very happy.
Bribery is the most commonly used method by businessmen and is used all over the world, but here you have to hang up for a day, which shows that the local rules are very strict.
Strict rules are not a good thing for many people, especially those in high positions. But for novice foreign merchants like them, the situation couldn't be better. At least they don't have to worry about their goods being robbed and no one will take care of them.
He hung on the gatehouse, sent his brother away to continue collecting sulfur, and chatted with the hanging friend next to him.
"May I ask what you committed?"
The people next to him looked at him and turned away, ashamed to hang out with such an unknown foreigner.
Brother Manu went to ask the person on the other side.
Most friends ignored him, but some responded.
Most of them were stealing, leading fights, and one was hanged for trying to sacrifice a human being and causing harm. This man had to be hanged for a month!
Even if they are from the sharp blade tribe, their hands will be useless if they hang up for a month.
As a result, halfway through the hoisting, the city guards actually came to lower them down in batches to rest. Each of them was given half a pot of sugar water, and they continued to hoist them after a while.
After experiencing the hanging sentence for a day, before leaving, there were people from the Night Clan who came to lecture him. If he committed another crime, he would be hanged for three days. Brother Manu quickly said that he did not dare.
The two brothers met up and came to the city warehouse again, this time directly asking to see obsidian samples.
The guard's reaction was a bit strange, and he didn't show any irritation. He went directly into the warehouse and took out a few pieces to show to the two of them.
None of them are big, the largest one is about half the size of a head, and the smaller one is smaller than a fist, but the quality seems to be okay.
There are three prices for obsidian on the bulletin board. According to the weight, the price is calculated by kilogram for less than half a kilogram, between half a kilogram and three kilograms, and for more than three kilograms. The largest one only costs five yuan per kilogram.
One kilogram of large obsidian can be sold for one gold coin or slightly more. Calculated, the profit is about the same as sugar water, and the quantity is small enough to be hidden, so that's it.
The two brothers stopped waiting and weighed five kilograms of obsidian. They spent all the remaining money on sugar water to recoup their capital first.
It would be a good idea to stay and continue collecting money, but they have calculated that it is faster to sell salt here to buy obsidian and go back. Six to eight gold coins are enough to buy a small cart of salt near my hometown. If I bring it here, I will sell it for at least 300 yuan in Phoenix coins. Hurry up. , a round trip of about twenty days, which is more than picking up sulfur.
