Grand collar's agricultural output has surged, resulting in a series of new problems, which made Zhou Ming unexpected.

Food is inundated, and the consumption power in the territory cannot be improved for a while. Farmers with a large amount of food on hand have fallen into a state of helplessness.

"Sell all the cattle and farming tools in the castle to the farmer! Then take some coins from the castle vault and buy the surplus grain in the farmer's hands at a reasonable price. If these grains remain in the farmer's hands, I am afraid Next year, not only will Granland ’s grain production increase, but it will fall! People ’s inertia is there, and no one will work on the granary. ”

Zhou Ming took a series of emergency measures to recover the surplus grain in the hands of peasants by means of barter, money, etc., and most of them were recovered into his own hands.

In addition to the old grain accumulated in the castle granary over the years, there are nearly ten thousand tons of grain in the hands of Zhou Ming.

The total population of the Grande Territory is only more than 4,000 people. So much food is enough for the entire territory to eat for three years without any labor.

"No, you must immediately sell the food in your hands, and you will only rot in the granary if you leave it in your hands. You have to let some merchants passing by the Grand Collar help sell these grains to other territories!"

Zhou Ming intends to let travel merchants help to solve the problem of the flooding of the Grand Collar.

Traveling merchants are the main representatives of the world ’s businessmen ’s power. They travel between various territories and peddle all kinds of novelty goods. Some traveling merchants are well-informed and active, and some traveling merchants form business associations. It is undeniable that it is the group of merchants who have connected the nearly closed territories of the world in terms of material and information.

In order to solve the problem of food sales, Zhou Ming ordered people to post an investment announcement at the intersection of the border of the territory.

The main contents of the announcement are three, namely:

1. Travellers who engage in commercial activities in this field will only be subject to a 10% commercial tax, and the total transaction amount is less than 10 gold coins.

Second, there is a lot of food for sale, any businessmen are welcome to come to buy, the more the amount of purchase, the more favorable the price.

III. Travellers who are capable of exempting various types of taxes such as road tax, rest tax, and landing tax. Any traveler can live in a hotel provided by the player.

After these three contents appeared in the announcement, it attracted the attention of almost all the merchants here.

Travelers stood in front of the announcement for a long time. The three articles on the announcement, which are indifferent, have a fatal attraction for these merchants who regard profit as life.

First of all, only 10% of commercial tax is levied. This is the countless territory that these merchants have traveled. The low tax rate they encountered cannot be lowered. Compared with those territories that frequently levy heavy taxes of 30% and 50%, this The astonishingly low 10% tax burden has doubled their profitability compared to other regions.

Second, in addition to business tax, traveling merchants carrying money and property, through various territories, can not avoid being extorted by lords everywhere.

Such as the toll tax, there is no doubt that the toll is a toll. The rest tax refers to a night ’s rest in the territory, and one night ’s rest tax must be paid. The landing tax is even more rogue. As long as it falls on the ground, the goods that have fallen on the ground are no longer related to the owner of the goods. They belong to the local lord.

That is to say, compared with the hard-working farmers in the fields, these seemingly beautiful businessmen are actually not so smart.

Solo was such a merchant who made a living selling food. In recent years, he has traveled south and north and east and west. From the beginning, he has lost a lot of money, and has met many lords and established a strong customer relationship with him. It took more than 20 years. Now his caravan passes through various territories. As long as the banner given by the lord of the place is displayed and the toll is paid at most, he can rely on the relationship with the lord ’s personal friends and bear less. Loss.

Even so, in more than 20 years, the money has earned a little, but Salo has not saved a lot of net worth. After all, food is only a popular commodity, not as good as gold, stone, jade, weapons, copper and iron. The advantage is risk. Smaller, the disadvantage is that the profit rate is low, only in the year of the great famine, can you make a fortune.

Seeing this announcement at the intersection was originally just passing by, and did not intend to enter the Solo of the Grand Collar, decided to meet the lord of this territory and make a friend.

By the way, I would like to ask if this territory really has so much food for sale.

Uh ...

Castle parlor.

"Mr. Solo, Grand Collar welcomes you, grain merchants, to buy grain here, we can provide as much as you want, and the amount is large, the more you buy, the more discounts."

Zhou Ming asked the servant to hand over a drink and entertained the elegantly dressed, short man in front of him, but in his eyes shone with the merchant's unique light, Mr. Solo, selling the food of the Grand Collar.

"Dear Ryan Butler, I would like to ask, is that the announcement written by your leader at the intersection, is the content above true? For example, only 10% of commercial tax and exemption of miscellaneous taxes on various types of business travel?"

Before confirming the cooperation, Solo would like to confirm again.

"Writing in plain text and displaying it publicly, how could there be a fake? Mr. Solomon, the Grand Lord is a place that strictly abides by the laws and regulations. As long as the decree made by the Grand Lord Lord will not be implemented on the ground, if Solomon When you met someone in Grand Collegiate who levied a commercial tax other than those stipulated by law, you told me that I must punish that person severely! "

Hearing Zhou Ming's eloquent words of assurance, Solomon let go of it and asked him how much grain was sold by Grand Collar.

Zhou Ming took him to the granary of the castle for a look, and looked at the granary full of grain, almost overflowing grain, so Solo could not help exclaiming.

"God, I am afraid that there is enough food for a population led by an earl to eat for a year. The food I have trafficked in my life has not added up!"

The heart of Luo Jue could not bear it anymore. The grain filled with grain was like a beautiful woman who was naked and standing in front of him. He wanted to eat but couldn't eat it.

but……

With so much food in front of them, it also means that a huge business opportunity is in front of him. If he can seize this business opportunity, let's not get rich overnight, and eat a round of belly in one bit!

Because, from some of his traveling business friends, Solomon heard that the iron castle kingdom adjacent to the south of the Kingdom of Warris, since the death of the old king, the prince and the uncle had a fierce battle for the throne, this war has been fought For more than a year, there is still no difference between victory and defeat. The massive land desolation caused by the war has caused a serious shortage of food in the country and prices have skyrocketed. If a batch of grain can be transported to the Iron Fort Kingdom ...

However, although Salo wanted to make a lot of money, it was good for him to eat one-tenth of the grain in his current family, which is full of grain.

Zhou Ming looked at him with embarrassment, and asked some reasons. After listening to Solomon's introduction to the chaos in the Iron Fort Kingdom and the embarrassment of his lack of capital, he made a decision he couldn't expect.

"Solo, I can sell these grains to you in batches on credit. As long as you sell these grains to the Iron Fort Kingdom, and then buy a batch of iron ingots needed by the Grand Collar from the Iron Fort Kingdom, you do n’t need to ask me To pay extra money, you just need to get enough iron ingots for me. "

As for the Iron Fort Kingdom, Zhou Ming has heard of it for a long time. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com is a wealthy kingdom with 36 counts and famous for producing large quantities of high-quality iron ore. How many times, the Iron Fort Kingdom was in civil strife, and the small countries around the world who wanted to get a little cheap did not know how many. Zhou Ming also wanted to make a dozen ideas. Of course, the idea of ​​playing the iron ingot resources of the Iron Fort Kingdom.

Heard this.

Suddenly stood up from the chair, took off his hat, knelt in front of Zhou Ming on one knee, and bowed deeply with his hand touching his chest: "Dear Ryan Butler, your generosity and kindness moved Solo immensely. , You can rest assured that after I have transported your food to the Iron Fort Kingdom, I will definitely replace all the food with iron ingots and transport them to Grand Collar, even if I do n’t earn a silver coin this time, I will complete your delivery. Give me the task of Solo! "

The so-called warrior died for his soulmate, and Solo always regarded profit as life. Every business trip made a big profit, but this time, he wanted to give up this huge profit as an investment to obtain this. The trust and reuse of a young housekeeper will lay a solid foundation for more cooperation opportunities in the future!

"Mr. Solo, hurry up, how can I make you not earn a silver coin? Rest assured, all the benefits that belong to you should be obtained by you. If you complete this business well, Gran will produce it in the future. Food will continue to work with you to sell to various kingdoms and all over the world! "

Zhou Ming saw many opportunities to promote the rapid development of the Grand Collar from the merchants such as Solo, such as the most scarce iron ingot in the current Grand Collar, if Solo can ship enough iron ingots, he can Rely on these iron ingots, build more farm tools, make more armor, and train more soldiers and horses.

And what the Grand Collegiate lacks most at present is a fighting horse capable of defending the security of this territory.
