Chapter 655: Saltpeter?! (4/4)

Castle Study.

Liu Feng is reading a book, studying economics by himself, to be more prepared for future economic rule. After all, his business will become bigger and bigger in the future. If he does not have more knowledge reserves now, he is afraid that he will not be able to do what he wants in the future.

"Bang bang bang……"

There was a knock on the study door, and Liu Feng said without raising his head,"Come in.""

"Gah!"

The study door opened, and Mina stepped in, holding a envelope in one hand and a cloth bag in the other. She said softly,"Master, this is the catalog that the group brought."

"oh? so fast?"Liu Feng was surprised. How long did it take for him to count all the goods? He thought it would take him half an hour to count all the goods.

"Master, you'll know just by looking at it."Mina's delicate face was a little weird, and she put the file on the desk.

"Looks like something interesting happened?"Liu Feng understood the character of the cat-eared girl, put down the book, picked up the document and read

"Huh? this……"Liu Feng just looked at it, his black eyes opened slightly, and his expression suddenly became strange. The names of the goods on this document were too familiar, right? linen, ceramics……

"Young Master, these goods are all sold by us in Xiyang City."Mina was a little dumbfounded, and the cat's tail was swaying around.

"what's the situation?"Liu Feng frowned and said, the goods he sold are now being transferred back to Xiyang City?

The information he received was that Tisi's sister sent someone and brought the goods, but he didn't expect it to be him in Xiyang. Goods sold in the city

"Young Master, I have found out clearly that these goods were all sent by Sister Tisi to rob them."Mina looked a little helpless,

"Robbed?"Liu Feng paused while flipping through the documents and looked at the cat-eared lady in surprise.

"Master, this is the only thing that belongs to them."Mina said angrily, putting the bag in her other hand on the table.

"Boom!"A soft sound

"what?"Liu Feng rubbed his forehead. This gave him a difficult problem.

"It should be an ore."Mina opened the bag and said helplessly,"Those people don't know what it is. I heard they brought it to us to see if it's worth anything."

"It's unreasonable……"Liu Feng put down his hand and looked at the ore on the table, but he stopped what he wanted to say.

"Master, what's wrong?"Mina wondered, and glanced at the ore on the table. It was just an ordinary stone.

"Finally found."Liu Feng picked up the ore and observed it carefully, then chuckled and said,"I didn't expect it to be delivered to my door. Mina blinked her blue eyes, her cat ears stood up, and hesitantly said,"Master, do you know this ore?""

"Saltpeter, this is a good thing, summer depends on it."Liu Feng's black eyes flickered, and he couldn't say some words. Saltpeter is one of the raw materials of gunpowder.

Originally, he planned to get gunpowder from the earth, but when he thought of a series of consequences, he gave up the idea. The world is looking for saltpeter and makes gunpowder first. Even if it is really leaked in the future, there will be improvements and he will always be ahead of others.

Of course, he does not plan to use gunpowder for the time being. It is used as a base and as a trump card. , based on his plans and observations, there is a high probability that this gunpowder will not be used in the next few years.

He does not want the devil of war to appear too soon. Once it is leaked, careerists will dare to do anything. He knows gunpowder too well. The power and harm of it.

Once it leaks out, and someone desperately uses gunpowder to deal with him, it is really too dangerous, so I can only keep it to the bottom of the box and use it as a trump card.

"summer?"Mina was confused. What does this ore have to do with Xia Tian?

"You will know by then, summer is not far away anyway."Liu Feng put down the saltpeter. Another function of saltpeter is to make ice.

Liu Feng has not experienced summer in this era, but it is not far away. He heard from Nicole, Wei Ya and others that summer is very hot. of

"oh."Mina pouted and stopped asking. She knew the young master's temperament and wouldn't tell him if she asked.

"Where are people? Liu Feng looked at the saltpeter and began to think.

"Tisi was shopping with her, and seemed to be getting ready to eat."Mina walked to the shelf where the kettle was placed and poured Liu Feng a glass of water.

"How do you think it should be handled? Liu Feng picked up the water cup and asked,"We can't accept those goods.""

"Young Master, are you afraid that others will say that we are cheating on others?"Mina immediately understood the young master's concerns.

"The news will get out, it can't be concealed."Liu Feng sighed. He is from the earth and knows how important reputation and credibility are.

"really."Mina nodded lightly. How could those merchants come to Xiyang City after being robbed? They must have seen those orcs.

Now that the orcs have also come to Xiyang City, there is no guarantee that they will not recognize them. If Xiyang City accepts These goods, even if they are bought without knowing it, will cause a lot of trouble.

"How many goods are there? Liu Feng looked at the saltpeter and thought about countermeasures.

"About five hundred gold coins."Mina responded immediately. When counting the goods, someone had sent someone to estimate the price.

"so much? Liu Feng was surprised, how many caravans had been robbed?

"The information I got from those orcs revealed that they were all robbing small caravans."Mina can now think of how Tisi will be embarrassed when she finds out.

"It seems that it depends on this thing."Liu Feng patted the saltpeter on the table. He had a rough plan.

"Master, what should I do?"Mina asked curiously, her cat ears raised in Liu Feng's direction.

"Don't let that shipment come to town. Liu Feng raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said calmly,"Let them give up this batch of goods and sell them at a low price.""

The low-price sale he is talking about means selling to other merchants outside the territory of Xiyang City, so that no one will suspect him. After all, the price in Xiyang City is unified and will not be shipped at a lower price. This is well known rules

"Will they?"Mina frowned and said, they are talking about Ruian and others.

"They will. Liu Feng said calmly, having already thought of a way.
