You must purchase cloth so that you don’t need to use challenge points to redeem clothes next time.
Stock up a batch of cloth in the territory and ask Alanna to bring out more apprentices to make various styles of clothing.
When the economic system of the territory is revitalized after the reform of the free people, the citizens of the territory will definitely have a need to buy clothes, which can then be used to promote the internal economic circulation of the territory.
At the same time as the reform of the free people, the commercialization of the territory must also be implemented as soon as possible.
Only then can the operation of leaving the left pocket and entering the right pocket be achieved.
Finally, there are iron tools.
The caravan's inventory of iron tools was much smaller than that of food and cloth.
After more than ten minutes of inquiry and discussion, Zong Shen made a list.
He also made it clear that he had space to store props and could just pack them up and take them away.
He purchased 500 barrels of flour, which is 100 tons, with a total value of 155,000 dinars.
300 baskets of apples, 100 baskets of melons, and 100 baskets of tomatoes weigh only seven or eight tons, with a total value of 17,500 dinars.
50 barrels of beef and mutton jerky and 50 barrels of duck jerky, with a total value of 273,750 dinars.
There are 10,000 meters of cotton and linen and 5,000 meters of cotton. 100 meters is a roll, which is equivalent to 100 rolls of cotton and 50 rolls of cotton. The total value reaches 155,000 dinars.
As for iron tools, there were only more than 3,000 pieces in total, so Zong Shen chose to pack them directly.
It cost 41,726 dinars.
After some shopping, he realized that the salary offered by Baron Bezos to the maids was too low.
I can’t afford even a kilogram of beef and mutton jerky.
If you want to buy a prairie cow, you have to save for at least a year and a half!
In fact, fresh meat is cheaper than dried meat, but it is not durable for storage. Even if you dry it by yourself, you have to consider the weight shrinkage. Basically, there is only one pound left after two pounds. Moreover, drying by yourself will cause certain losses, such as mildew and other losses. The situation is that the dried meat here at Youshang is the finished dried meat.
Therefore, exquisite dried meat is also a kind of luxury food.
It is not only durable in storage, but also restores hunger and satiety a lot, and can also provide protein supplements for soldiers.
After listing, the total value of the deal reached 642,976 dinars!
Zong Shen slashed the price, and originally wanted to cut off a fraction of the 42,972 dinars, but the other party was unwilling, saying that the profit of food and cloth was low.
In fact, Zong Shen already knew their cost through the strategy module.
Excluding transportation and procurement costs and inventory losses, the other party made a net profit of 180,000 dinars from this transaction!
The profit margin has reached 30%. In this world with underdeveloped logistics, this kind of profit is still terrifying.
The bulk of the profit is from the dried meat.
In contrast, if Zong Shen directly purchases live cattle and sheep, they will be broken down, slaughtered and dried.
As long as the drying loss rate is less than 10%, the cost per kilogram is less than 10 dinars per kilogram.
The net slaughter rate of endless continental grassland cattle is not high, only about 35%. A 300kg grassland cattle can produce up to 135kg of meat. After drying, it is 52.5kg. After throwing away 10% of the drying loss, there is still 47.5kg.
, the final cost per kilogram is 7.3 dinars per kilogram.
The gross weight of a prairie cow is about 300 kilograms. The price in the area near the territory is 350 dinars. After slaughtering, removing the bones, blood, internal organs and fur, there is not much meat left. After drying, it will shrink by half.
Considering the drying loss, the cost of refined meat jerky is indeed not low.
But the profits have doubled.
So just those dried meats earned them over one hundred thousand dinars.
The least profitable item was flour, and the rest of the fruits, vegetables, cloth, and ironware together made them tens of thousands of dinars.
Compared with those goblin merchants, Zong Shen felt that it was normal for the other party to earn hundreds of thousands of dinars from such a large-scale material transaction.
Finally, the person in charge of the gold pocket watch market gave in and offered a discount of 30,000 dinars!
After the two parties reached an agreement, half an hour had passed, leaving Zong Shen with not much time.
He still had to spare some time to save people.
At his urging, the person in charge of the gold pocket watch market immediately called for a few fast horses.
Zong Shen and Betty were riding together, and the man with the gold pocket watch was leading the way.
Behind them were two small groups of traveling merchant escorts, roughly equal to the third level of troops.
A guard team of this level is simply not worth mentioning in Zong Shen's eyes.
However, the guards in the merchant camp should be stronger, and it might be a little difficult for Zong Shen to rob.
The city defense troops at the checkpoint seemed to be very familiar with these traveling merchants.
They passed the level directly without any hindrance.
After riding fast for more than ten minutes, they arrived at the merchant camp outside the city.
There are large square wooden houses here, with walls and roofs luxuriously covered with leather.
As a storage warehouse for traveling merchants, it is located northeast of Bangcheng and covers a large area, comparable to that of a large farm.
The Gold Pocket Watch caravan's warehouse is near the center of the camp.
When they entered the camp, people from the Gold Pocket Watch caravan quickly surrounded them.
Medium-sized caravans like this also have many separate groups of caravans.
The warehouse has a security team of hundreds of people. The total number of traveling merchant security teams in the entire camp totals tens of thousands!
After hearing the quantity and amount of Zong Shen's transaction, the deputy head of the gold pocket watch caravan who stayed at the camp came out to meet him in person. Zong Shen was in a hurry and asked them to move the goods immediately.
Those escorts also had to work part-time as porters, but fortunately they were quite powerful. Hundreds of people acted at the same time, and it only took more than ten minutes to prepare all his goods.
The deputy leader personally held the crowbar and prepared to let Zong Shen inspect the goods, but he reached out to stop him.
With the strategy module there, there was no need for him to inspect the goods in person.
According to the comments in the guide, everything is normal with this batch of goods and there are no problems.
There are no defective products mixed in. Just like the previous screening, the Golden Pocket Watch Caravan is still very honest.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This made Zong Shen kill the last impulse in his heart to rob.
I happily took out 612,976 dinars at the discounted price!
Because he had said before that he had space to store items, the man with the gold pocket watch waved his hand to him and poured out a large amount of dinars. He did not find it strange.
Thousands of big coins piled up into a small "mountain bag".
The deputy leader took out a big bag and put the dinars into it, and soon got the exact amount. Their big bag had its own counting function.
After clearing the money and goods, Zong Shen took out his own [Pascal Contract's Big Bag (Gold)]
Non-living animals can be quickly stored in the big bag, so he quickly collected all the supplies.
Then open the space door and let Feihu come out!
After Feihu appeared, the people in the merchant camp were startled and thought he was going to cause trouble.
Betty quietly watched Zong Shen purchase supplies throughout the process and did not rush him.
When Feihu walked out of the big bag, Zong Shen pulled her and rode up.
Wave goodbye to these traveling merchants.
Only then did everyone realize that the behemoth in front of them was Zong Shen's mount.
The deputy leader of the gold pocket watch walked over quickly and handed Zong Shen a golden emblem engraved on the pocket watch.
"My lord, this is the token of our golden pocket watch traveling group."
"As a medium-sized business group in the mainland, we have corresponding warehouses and camps in Wolffang Castle and the giant city of Lentax in Avalon. The one here is just one of them, because Wintertrop City is an important inland port.
!”
He explained in a hurried tone.
Zong Shen raised his hand to take the emblem and nodded.
The next moment, the flying tiger fluttered its wings. Betty wanted to show Zong Shen the way, but he didn't need it at all.
Zong Shen used the strategy module to navigate directly, and the location he locked was where Betty's younger brothers and sisters were!
The safety time left for him now is only about half an hour, and it is less than an hour and a half before the Eye of Cthulhu arrives here.
The remaining one hour is his reserved return time!
It's not too close from the merchant camp to the Aldrich Dance Company's headquarters in Bangcheng.
The two are located at different locations in Wintertrop City.
The nearest route needs to cross the urban area, and even then the distance is more than 30 kilometers.
Zong Shen asked the flying tiger to rise to a height of 4,000 meters, so that it would not be attacked by the defensive arrow towers and sentry towers in the city, and would not attract the attention of the sentries.
It only takes Feihu three or four minutes to reach the distance of thirty kilometers. Including the time to ascend, the whole journey takes at most five or six minutes!
Soon, they came to the sky above the Aldrich Dance Company's headquarters in Bangcheng.
In Zong Shen's field of vision, two golden circle marks locked the positions of Betty's brother and sister respectively.
Her brother and sister were not far apart, the straight-line distance was only a few dozen meters.
After locking the position, Zong Shen asked Feihu to dive at high speed!
At almost a free fall speed, Betty finally lost her composure and wrapped her nervous hands around Zong Shen's waist. Only in this way could she bring some sense of security.
Zong Shen was in front of her, blocking most of the airflow with his body.
High-speed diving is still very exciting, and most people may not be able to handle it.
He had experienced this once before when he tamed Yingjiang, and it knocked him to pieces.
But at that time, Yingjiang didn't dive directly vertically, but rolled and jumped in the air while diving at the same time.
Soon, they quickly approached the ground.
The so-called Aldrich Dance Company's Bongcheng station was much smaller than the traveling merchant camp.
A total of five or six stone houses and seven or eight wooden houses were built, with a fence around them.
It seems that together with the highlander warrior guards and the dancing boys accompanying the dancing girls, there are only one or two hundred people at most.
They are not limited to the Little Ear Tavern, they will perform in various pubs every night, and they will also bid on the spot for the whole night after the performance.
In fact, in addition to dancers, gigolos are also very popular, and many guys just like this.
Unfortunately, the dance company's revenue is managed separately by several people in charge, and Ram is one of them.
Basically all the nightly income goes to the dance troupe, and the dancers and gigolos only get 10%.
Even this ten percent is given to prevent them from not working hard.
Under the high-speed dive, Feihu quickly landed on the ground.
Zong Shen asked Betty to stay on Feihu's back as support, and asked Feihu to launch a harassing attack.
He himself ran towards one of the golden circle marks with clear goals.
Arriving outside a large wooden house, I used my war hammer to break open the door!
The room was extremely dark, and there were about a dozen little boys under the age of ten huddled on the main bunk.
Following the guidance of the mark, he quickly found his target, Betty's younger brother, a little boy named Kaji. He and Betty both had single names and no family surnames.
When Zong Shen used his war hammer to break in, these little boys all woke up.
He came straight to Kaji and picked him up with one hand.
"Who are you?"
"Let me go!"
Kaji shook his little body and struggled!
"Shut up, I received Betty's request and came to save you!"
"Your sister is outside!"
"Don't talk, I'll take you!"
After mentioning Betty, Kaji stopped struggling.
"Is it really my sister who asked you to come?"
He asked softly, but Zong Shen didn't answer. He carried him and prepared to save the next target.
At this time, all the children in the wooden house gathered around him.
"Sir, please take us away too!"
"Sir, please save me!
The little boys were all begging Zong Shen.
This made Zong Shen hesitate for a moment.
It is not troublesome to take away these children, you only need to open the storage space door of the large pocket.
The role of these children is to make the dancers and gigolos give up the idea of escape.
It is an indirect means of control.
Make the dancers worry when they have the chance to escape.
The real method is those Highlander Warrior Guards and people like Ram who are responsible for supervising!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Even if he takes away these children, it will be useless. In addition to children, there are also elderly people in so many wooden houses.
Rather than taking these children away, it is better to wait until the next time we get rid of the Eye of Cthulhu and uproot the entire Aldrich Dance Troupe in Wintro State!
Thinking of this, Zong Shen walked out without saying a word.
At this time, the Aldrich Dance Company's location was in great chaos.
The flying tiger roared across the sky, firing bone spurs at the Highlander warriors.
Betty also shoots with a hand crossbow, but because Feihu is flying at high maneuverability, her shooting accuracy is almost non-existent, and it is a consolation attack.
However, Feihu and Betty do not need to bear the responsibility of the main attack. They only need to cause chaos in the Aldrich Dance Company's residence!
Zong Shen held Kaji's collar at the back of his neck with one hand and ran towards the next golden circle mark dozens of meters away.
There was also a wooden house there. Without any hesitation, he directly kicked open the wooden door.
This wooden house is full of young little girls.
He followed the guidance of the golden circle mark and found Betty's sister.
A little girl named Olga.
"I was sent by your sister to save you."
Zong Shen quickly explained without any explanation, and raised his hand to pick up her back collar as usual.
The little girl is slightly older than the little boy Kaji by two or three years.
She tried to struggle, but Kaji shouted.
"Sister Olga!"
"Kaji, who is this person?"
"This gentleman is here to save us..."
Zong Shen couldn't pay attention to the conversation between the two siblings. These two little guys were as light as nothing to him.
He can carry it around easily.
After walking out of the wooden house, a flying tiger happened to pass by at low altitude.
After it circled around, it landed in front of Zong Shen.
The plows left deep marks on the ground.
The highlander warriors chased it all over the ground without even touching a hair on its head.
"Olga, Kaji!"
Betty shouted excitedly, and the two little guys' eyes suddenly lit up when they heard their sister's voice.
Zong Shen bent his legs slightly and jumped directly onto Feihu's back.
Place these two little guys directly next to Betty.
"Sit tight!"
After giving the explanation, Zong Shen patted Feihu on the neck.
The flying tiger spread its wings directly, flapped and soared into the sky.
Before the Highland warriors arrived, they flew away from the Aldrich Dance Company's station.
Betty hugged her brothers and sisters tightly and comforted them softly.
At the same time, several reminders appeared in front of Zong Shen.
[You have gained Betty’s loyalty]
【Betty becomes your hero】
[Initial loyalty is 90 points]
…
[Task: Betty's concerns]
[Request: Go to the Aldrich Dance Company’s stronghold on the outskirts of the city and rescue Betty’s brother and sister]
【mission completed】
[Reward: [Betty’s Allegiance], [Level 3 Hero Qualification Improvement Scroll (Blue)], [Experience Value x1000], [Dinar x500]]
…
The mission was completed, Zong Shen had an extra scroll in his storage, and also received a sum of dinars and experience points. It was better than nothing.
Since she obtained her loyalty through missions, Betty's initial loyalty points reached 90 points.
You don't need to cultivate them in the next step, and your loyalty will gradually increase.
The entire rescue operation only took a few minutes.
It can be said that Zong Shen took such a reckless task at his fingertips.
The Eye of Cthulhu is currently more than 1,600 kilometers away from his position.
You'll arrive there in about an hour and ten minutes.
It's almost time to use the portal to return to the territory.
Since the distance from Wintrobang City to the territory is more than 9999 kilometers, you still need to fly three to four hundred kilometers in the direction of the territory to enter the range of the [thousand-kilometer level portal (orange)].
More than twenty minutes later, it was already past four in the morning.
Feihu took Zong Shen and the others to a suitable distance and landed directly.
This is still the scope of the green cypress forest, with tall cypress trees growing densely.
[Thousand-kilometer level portal (orange)] There are 4 beacon spaces left.
In order to make it easier to go to Winterlow State next time, Zong Shen also left a beacon here.
Then, select the territory and open the portal.
A blue light door more than ten meters high appeared in the forest, rippling in circles.
Zong Shen led Betty and the others through the space portal.
As for the flying tiger, it folded its wings, ran wildly on all fours, and passed through the space door.
The flying tiger is different from Yingjiang. After folding its wings, its four limbs and feet can run at the same speed.
It is especially good at trekking in mountains. Zong Shen can use it as a ground mount when necessary.
But that's not possible with Eagle Sauce. Its limbs are sharp claws and are not suitable for running on the ground.
Short distance travel is no problem.
After returning to the territory, Zong Shen asked Feihu to guard the portal.
At this point, the night shift construction has come to an end and everyone has gone to rest.
