Phoenix Grand Lord

Fat Jimmy, the grain trade officer, returned to the company with a bright face.

Luo Wei knew without guessing that Viscount Shattered Star agreed.

No matter what Viscount Shattered Star thought, he had no reason not to accept the business that came to his door - Luo Wei grasped this point very accurately.

Fat Jimmy told Luo Wei the condition that he must purchase 20 carts of grain every month within a year, and Luo Wei agreed without even thinking about it.

Meilin Valley Manor was short of grain, and it was difficult to open up wasteland for farming.

Although 20 carts of grain per month could not be eaten, from the perspective of a mature strategist, stockpiling grain was definitely a necessary strategic matter.

Even if the economic output capacity of Meilin Valley Manor was not enough now, as long as there was an opportunity to stockpile grain, he had to do his best.

Moreover, with the golden finger of "turning stone into gold", Luo Wei was naturally full of confidence.

Fat Jimmy handed Luo Wei the long-term grain purchase contract with Viscount Miranden's autograph and wax seal, and Luo Wei immediately determined the types and proportions of the 20 carts of grain.

Rye accounted for the vast majority of the 20 carts of grain, followed by oats, and barley and wheat together accounted for less than one cart.

The total price of the grain after the discount was 43 gold coins, and the fractions of silver and copper coins were naturally eliminated.

The price of the carriage and horse transportation was also negotiated, and the total was 16 gold coins after the discount.

Other expenses, such as food and drink on the road, tolls and bridge fees, etc., were clearly written in the contract, and all were borne by Viscount Shattered Star.

It was not until this time that Xia Liz finally understood the lord's layout.

Good guy, it really doesn't cost a penny to cross the bridge!

All of it was passed on to Viscount Shattered Star!

But...

Xia Liz worriedly invited Luo Wei to the side and lowered her voice: "Master, we can't eat so much food! We have to buy 20 trucks every month or we will have to pay ten times the compensation. The financial pressure is too great."

Luo Wei nodded: "Yes, you are right, it is too great."

Xia Liz asked: "What are your plans?"

Luo Wei smiled, "I haven't thought about it yet."

"You..."

Xia Liz was almost going crazy because of Luo Wei.

She had just figured out the confusion of "crossing the bridge without spending a penny", and now she was in a new and bigger confusion.

Luo Wei did not explain anything to Xia Liz, but happily paid 59 gold coins and gave Fat Jimmy an extra gold coin reward.

Rewarding is the behavior that best reflects the virtue of the lord.

Fat Jimmy was so excited that he couldn't close his mouth after receiving the reward.

Fat Jimmy kept calling him "my dearest lord" and enthusiastically helped Luo Wei with the details of loading the grain, which really saved Luo Wei a lot of trouble in the procedures.

Luo Wei asked Xia Liz to go with Fat Jimmy to the granary area of ​​River Valley Town to supervise the loading of grain, and agreed with Xia Liz to meet outside the gate of River Valley Town after dinner to return.

While Xia Liz was gloomy and supervised the grain loading, Luo Wei went to the market of River Valley Town leisurely.

Now there are only 11 gold coins left in his pocket, and he will have to pay 60 gold coins every month in the future, but Luo Wei is not panicked at all.

Luo Wei covered the magic hanging bag in the animal skin cloak, walked and stopped in the crowd, and opened the insight vision to secretly observe the pedestrians and various goods coming and going.

When he stood at the door of the brothel, his insight suddenly found a nimble level 3 assassin flashing through the secret passage of the brothel.

Luo Wei wanted to use his insight to carefully investigate along the secret passage, but the moving distance of his insight was not enough. If he wanted to investigate, he had to go deep into the brothel.

Luo Wei thought about it and decided not to make any more trouble.

This brothel is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface. It is likely to be a secret base of the Assassin Brotherhood.

If you rush into a brothel, you will need to spend money and may be noticed by the Assassin Brotherhood.

What's more... you have to keep some budget.

Just based on the crazy inflation of prices in the Regan world, it will definitely not be cheap to spend money in such a den of money.

"Handsome sir, come in and play!"

"Bah, I'm a serious lord."

Luo Wei walked away from the door of the brothel with a righteous look and went to the bookstore next to it.

Luo Wei bought several books in the bookstore, such as "Chronicles of the Apocalypse Era", "Geography of the Continent of Theia", "Theoretical Foundations of Fire Magic: Apprenticeship", "Arcane: The Birth of Runes", and "Introduction to the Preferences of Famous Female Nobles in the Soladin Empire" (illustrated version).

Knowledge is a luxury in the Regan world. These books cost Luo Wei 3 gold coins, equivalent to 36,000 yuan.

It hurts...

After leaving the bookstore, Luo Wei turned around and walked into a rather impressive magic commodity trading house.

"Welcome to the Magic Supplies Trading House in River Valley Town!"

A trader standing at the counter saw Luo Wei wearing a noble cloak and immediately bowed to greet him, with an extremely respectful tone:

"Dear sir, you have come to the right place! This is the only magic supplies trading house in the five baron and viscount territories around! Excuse me, is there anything I can do for you?"

Luo Wei nodded calmly, "Let me take a look first."

The magic goods in this store are dazzling, from enchanted armor and weapons to various magic materials and rune stones.

However, the level of most magic goods does not exceed level 3.

In addition to Luo Wei, there are six or seven Awakening Knights in the store who are carefully selecting magic equipment, and none of them exceed level 3.

Luo Wei is the only guest here who has not yet awakened.

The trader followed Luo Wei with enthusiasm and took the trouble to introduce the magical products in the store to Luo Wei.

Every time a piece of magic equipment is sold, the trader can get a lot of commission.

And Luo Wei has the face of a young prodigal who has never experienced anything in the world. Traders feel that they will definitely make a lot of money from Luo Wei today.

After Luo Wei looked at more than a dozen magic products with great interest, the trader finally couldn't help but ask: "Dear Sir, after seeing so many, what is the most interesting to you?"

Luo Wei thought for a moment, "Do you have rune stones here?"

The trader's eyes lit up, "Of course! But... that thing is very valuable."

Luo Wei's eyes also lit up, "Really? How expensive can it be? Show me quickly."

The trader then respectfully invited Luo Wei to the glass cabinet in the back room of the shop.

"Sir, please see, the rune stones here are all level 1 rune stones. Level 1 rune stones come with an amplification effect. Depending on the type of amplification, the prices vary, but the cheapest one costs 25 gold coins."

Luo Wei's brows moved slightly: "Are there any higher-level rune stones?"

"Of course!" The trader couldn't help but smile with joy, "Sir, please follow me to the second floor. Oh, please pay attention to the steps under your feet."

Under the guidance of the trader, Luo Wei climbed the steps and came to the second floor, which was decorated more high-end.

The magic products displayed here are quite expensive. At first glance, they are equipment that ordinary awakened people cannot afford.

The trader invited Luo Wei to the crystal cabinet in the corner, "Sir, the runes here are all level 2 runes. The cheapest one costs 50 gold coins."

Luo Wei glanced briefly and asked: "Not bad, not bad! Do you have level 3 ones in your store?"

The trader was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Sir, things like rune stones are not something that ordinary awakened people can use, especially level 3 rune stones. Our store is surrounded by five baron viscounties. It’s the only magic supplies trading shop in the world, but our store only has level 2 rune stones, not level 3 ones.”

Luo Wei nodded, "That's it..."

The trader's face was filled with the expectation of earning a commission: "My distinguished lord, do you want to buy a level 2 rune stone or a level 1 rune stone?"

"Oh, I'm not here to buy, I'm here to sell."

With that said, Luo Wei took out the shining level 3 rune stone from the magic hanging bag:

"Don't you have level 3 rune stones in your store? Congratulations, now is your chance."

The traders were dumbfounded.
