Working Prophet

"You can go to a nearby town and find a market. As soon as you put it out, a businessman will come to you and ask for the price. Or you can go directly to the big chambers of commerce. They have strong financial resources and can definitely eat so much. Goods."

Miss Rabbit reluctantly put the bag of pepper back on the table.

What is the most painful thing in the world?

Answer: There is a lot of gold placed in front of you, but it does not belong to you.

This is how Ilea feels now.

It hurts, it hurts so much! In this cold world, it turns out that only the ancestors who can dance the grid still have the slightest warmth.

The girl was thinking this, and one hand was already touching the necklace hanging around her neck.

But then I heard Li Yu say again, "What's the nearest town to Luye?"

"Black Rock City, if you take a carriage, it only takes less than a day." Miss Rabbit said, "You can go to Fausto and ask him to find someone to take you there."

"One day is too time-consuming." Li Yu said, "I don't have that much time to spend on the road."

The girl had already held the electronic pet egg, but she seemed to notice something and stopped.

"And I have just arrived in this continent not long ago. I am not familiar with the place and I don't know the merchants in Blackstone City. They will definitely lower the price with me."

"You can find a few more and ask."

"What if they were united?"

"Well, your worries are not unreasonable." Miss Rabbit seemed to smell the sweet smell of gold coins, but she was too close to Li Yu, so she was embarrassed to speak about some things, but the hand that reached for the necklace had already retracted.

"The biggest question is, according to you, this batch of pepper is worth a lot of money. How can I keep the wealth and my own safety after selling them?"

The girl swallowed and followed Li Yu's words, "You can hire mercenaries, but with such a big sum of money, those mercenaries are unreliable. They are just a bunch of hungry wolves who are blind to money and have no money at all." A sense of honor.”

Miss Rabbit pretended to be worried about Li Yu while secretly observing someone's expression, hoping that Li Yu would propose that she send someone to complete the transaction.

As a result, Li Yu said, "It seems I have to find another helper."

"That's right, that's right." The young girl kept nodding her head like a chicken pecking rice, and her eyes became more and more excited.

"I think Jude is good. Although he is greedy for money, he is very disciplined and will do what he promises. He is also good at martial arts. He could fight four or five people by himself before. Plus me, even if he encounters six A team of seven is not afraid."

Li Yu noticed that some people's true nature was exposed very quickly. In just a short while, his saliva was almost dripping. He had to remind her a little to restrain herself, lest this guy would get carried away later and completely succumb to his instincts and sit on the ground. Starting price.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Miss Rabbit felt as if someone had poured cold water on her, and said anxiously, "Jude...how can he do it?!"

"Why can't Jude?" Li Yu asked back.

"He... he's still working for me, how can he take other people's money?" Ilea thought up a quick wit and came up with a perfect excuse.

"It's simple. You haven't paid him much money anyway. At worst, let him quit your job and concentrate on selling pepper for me. To be fair, we can let him make his own choice."

Miss Rabbit was dumbfounded, how could it be possible to make more money by being a showman for her than doing big business with Li Yu, a fool would know how to choose.

Seeing that the fat from her mouth was about to fly away, the girl was about to cry.

Li Yu also felt that the heat was almost over, so he changed the subject, "But after all, Jude is just a mercenary, not good at doing business, and he has been living in the wild before, and the way he communicates with people is, well... quite special. , so I think it’s better for me to find someone else.”

"Choose me." Ilea finally couldn't help blurting out.

"I have businessmen I know well in Black Rock City who can get you a more satisfactory price. And with the reputation of the Arias family around here, no one dares to put their ideas on our heads. If you don't Don’t worry, I can also send a knight to complete the transaction and guarantee that I can help you get your money back. Of course, this requires you to give up a little profit, just a little bit."

After Miss Rabbit finished speaking in one breath, she felt relieved for a while, as if the big stone that had been pressing on her chest had been removed.

"How much do you want?" Li Yu asked.

"Thirty percent!" Miss Rabbit said without thinking, and then she seemed to be worried that Li Yu would be dissatisfied. She explained, "Although I am a lord, except during wars, when I send knights out to do things, I can't let others work in vain. I have to be considerate. Of course, this part doesn’t need much, the big one is the transaction tax.”

"Transaction tax?"

"Yes, Black Rock City is the territory of the Gustav family. All transactions in the city are taxed by the Gustav family, especially the spices. They keep a close eye on it and send consuls to the market every day. Patrolling.”

"What's the tax rate?"

"Twenty percent." Miss Rabbit's eyes flickered when she reported the count.

Li Yu immediately understood that this kid must have a way to evade taxes.

This is not the universe he is in. As long as the tax authorities want to investigate, there is basically no tax that cannot be found. Moreover, even in his universe, there are still many people evading taxes, let alone here.

In order to collect taxes, King Athelstan of England in the Middle Ages once ordered that no one could buy more than twenty pence of goods outside the town. Even God moved out. However, where the administrative officials could not see, the underground economy had been flourishing. develop.

This must be no exception. The Arias family has been rooted in the western region for hundreds of years. It would be strange if they couldn't even do something as small as tax evasion.

But Li Yu didn't point it out. Anyway, if he sells it himself, he must pay the tax.

Instead of paying the Gustav family, it would be better to give Ilea a bargain, and based on this calculation, he only needs to pay 10% of his income to let Miss Rabbit take care of everything from negotiation to transportation.

It can be called a model of one-stop service, and with Ilea as a stingy check, the final transaction price must be higher than what he negotiated by himself.

Maybe it can already make up for the 30% that was allocated, and with the back of the Arias family, it won't cause any unnecessary trouble.

Li Yu was very satisfied with this transaction, and Miss Rabbit was even more delighted, and her heart was full of joy.

He kept asking, "Is there a lot of black gold in your hometown? Why don't you bring some more next time."

"Let's talk about it," Li Yu said, "I have other things to get, but when it comes to selling them for money, I have some other goods here. I'm a little unsure of their value. Please help me take a look. "

"What other good things did you bring?" The girl became interested, "Can it compare to pepper?"

"It might work."

Li Yu took out another small bag from his pocket, this time he directly poured the contents of the bag on the table.

After seeing the sharp-edged gadgets on the table that exuded dazzling light, Ilea's breathing stopped instantly.

--artificial gemstone. The main chemical components of natural gemstones are no different, they are all aluminum oxide, and then mixed with different compounds to show different colors. The wholesale price on 1688 ranges from a few cents to dozens of yuan depending on the size of the workmanship.

Li Yu bought the 10*10mm ones, and since there were ten bids, he took ten bids, and spent a total of one hundred and fourteen yuan.
