Starting Today, I’ll Work as a City Lord
Chapter 80
Tori took out four steel coins from his pocket. These steel coins are more exquisite than copper coins. One copper coin can be exchanged for ten. He suddenly thought, what would happen if steel coins were introduced in Beifeng City?
"Heh..." Tori sneered, and immediately guessed the answer. No one would use it, because they didn't believe in such a good thing at all, and they were afraid that they would cheat money. After all, it's not like no nobles have used this trick before.
"Perhaps it would be a good idea to sell the goods this time and open a shop in Xiyang City. Before I left, I heard that the house there was almost finished."
Tori doesn't have many coins left now. He bought too many things in the Xiyang City Market, and he spent a lot of coins. Now he urgently needs a sum of coins to get into his account.
"Master Tory, your banquet is ready and everyone is waiting for you."
The servant's call is missing Tori.
"Yeah! Go there right away!" Tori nodded, got up and straightened his clothes, seeing the clothes with a few silver coins on his body, Tori couldn't help but sighed.
"Even someone else's housekeeper's clothes are better than mine, what kind of nobleman is this?"
After tidying up a bit, Tuo Liqiang cheered up and walked to the living room. Today he hosted a banquet for many merchants in Beifeng City, and he wanted to exchange the things he bought from Xiyang City into coins.
As soon as he entered the living room, many people greeted Tori.
"Master Tory, what good goods are there this time?"
"The ceramic mug you bought from me last time, I bought it from Wangdu again this time, would you like to take a look again?"
"Master Tory, I bought seven horses from Beiyuan this time, and one of them is in good condition..."
It's not the first time that Tori has done this kind of thing. Last time, in order to make enough cattle, sheep and horses for Liu Feng, he held such a banquet once.
"Sit down, I have a big deal to do with you today." Tori waved his hand and ordered the servants to serve refreshments.
Portions of gray, half-fist-sized pastries were delivered, accompanied by cloudy tea.
After Tori saw the refreshments, he had no appetite at all after eating the refreshments at Mr. Liu Feng's house for the pastries that he used to like very much.
"Wow! Every time I eat pastries from Master Tori's house, it is a great enjoyment in life."
"Indeed, the juice in this pastry is still so thick, paired with bitter tea, it's really hard to change."
The merchants ate their mouths full of oil, pastries made of wild boar fat wrapped in wheat flour, let them immerse themselves in it, only Tuo sat expressionless.
He thought to himself, if these people had eaten the delicacies served by Mr. Liu Feng's house, they would definitely think that what they ate today was shit. That's what he thought at the beginning, and he even bit the ceramic plate in shame.
"Okay, I called everyone here today, because there is something to show." Tori asked the servant to bring the things up.
Servants came in with trays, each of different sizes, and common things in daily life appeared here, such as wooden spoons, ceramic cups and bowls, and several large trays of lollipops.
The businessmen looked at each other, what's going on? When did nobles also intervene in the buying and selling of daily necessities?
"Let's take a look at the samples first!" Tori didn't explain, indicating to look at the things before talking.
The merchants also held back their doubts, got up and walked towards the servants, picked up the things on the tray and looked at them.
"This wooden spoon is not bad. If you take it to the capital, you should be able to sell it for two copper coins."
"Huh? Is this ceramic? It's so beautiful!"
The white and clean ceramic cups and bowls immediately attracted many businessmen to gather around.
"Master Tori, how many copper coins are these ceramic cups and bowls? I'll buy them all."
"Hey... what do you mean? Want to take it all for yourself? I can also buy it all."
Tuoli looked at the merchants expressionlessly, and only after they calmed down, he said, "You can buy two of those wooden spoons for one copper coin."
"Porcelain cups and plates, according to the color, they are divided into thirty copper coins, one fifty copper coins, one hundred copper coins..."
"..."
Tori quoted the price of more than a dozen samples in a row, which stunned the businessman. Is it expensive? No, it's not expensive at all, but much cheaper.
"Wow! Those wooden spoons, I want three hundred." Immediately, a businessman raised his hand and shouted. He thought about transporting them to the capital, and changing hands could earn several times.
"I want fifteen ceramic cups and plates, one hundred copper coins."
"..."
Everything was robbed, and even the lollipops were sold by Tori for a copper coin, and he made several times when he changed hands.
"Master Tory, I would like to ask, where do you get these goods from?" The merchant who did not grab the goods boldly asked for advice.
"Xiyang City!"
Tori got up and left. He didn't know why he mentioned Xiyang City. If he blocked the news, he would pack up the goods of Xiyang City by himself and sell them again. Wouldn't he be able to earn more?
Maybe it's because of Master Liu Feng's food.
"Businessmen should be crazy too. Will Xiyang City be the next North Wind City?"
Tori didn't care about these issues anymore, he was going to make some preparations, and then he took his wife and children to Xiyang City.
He doesn't intend to fight for the title of nobility in Beifeng City, and he doesn't like nobles who eat, drink and dress like country bumpkins.
Chapter 0102 The start of the negotiations between the two cities.
Niu Wu stood in front of the bow, looking at the faintly visible Beifeng City. What caught his eyes was many large and small ships, most of which were better than the boats under his feet. It can be said that the boats under his feet were these One of the worst grades in the boat.
"As expected of a city that prospered by trade, the ship is really good, but it's just a corrupt noble who has no brains and got into the coins."
Niu Wu remembered what Master Liu Feng had told him before Beifeng City, and couldn't help but sneer, "Heh! Enjoy the life of the aristocrats now, and it will be a bit uncomfortable after a while."
"Fifth brother, we are about to enter the pier of Beifeng City." The entourage hurriedly came to Niu Wu to ask for instructions.
"Yeah!" Niu Wu nodded, and said indifferently, "Let them act according to the plan, be careful, don't get caught, spoil your business, and I'll take your skin off when you come back."
"Fifth brother, don't worry, we are not going to do something bad, we are doing something good, no one will come to arrest us, and if we are caught, we will deny that we don't know anything."
"You should change your name to Xiao Lai in the future!" Niu Wu said angrily.
"Hey...that's fine, then I'll be called Xiao Lai from now on." Xiao Lai said with a smile.
"Get out!" Niu Wu rolled his eyes and shouted angrily.
"hey-hey……"
Xiao Lai let out a giggle, and took a few people with him. After approaching the pier, he slipped into the crowd and entered Beifeng City with the flow of people.
Xiao Lai does not think that what the city lord told him is a bad thing, but a good thing. He recruited some civilians to work in Xiyang City. You must know that the salary in Xiyang City is very high. Xiao Lai has never seen such a city lord meeting. So generous.
Those civilians who can't eat, if they don't seize such an opportunity, they are a bunch of idiots.
