The stubbornness of human nature shocked Reggie more than once, and this time was no exception. When the herdsmen saw the soldiers put down their weapons, knowing that their lives would not be threatened for the time being, they once again chose silence.
Maybe they were worried about Chi Luomen's revenge in the future, or maybe they didn't believe in Reggie's strength. No matter what the reason was, their stubbornness made Reggie extremely disgusted.
Such people are not worthy of help and cannot be helped. Since they can still survive, Reggie will let them fend for themselves for the time being. The main target now is Chiluomen, the big fat sheep.
Reggie was about to take the big fat sheep back to the castle to be cooked when he suddenly heard a woman shout: "Sir, one sheep can only exchange for one hundred and thirty pounds of grain. We really can't survive!"
Someone finally spoke, and it was a girl who spoke. Like the other shepherds, she was also wearing a tattered leather jacket. After a fierce battle, her unkempt hair and stains of blood almost completely concealed her beauty.
But Reggie's eyes were very vicious. She was a typical running wolf beauty. Her sunken eye sockets, tall bridge of nose, and those slightly cold eyes made her look a bit ferocious, but underneath this ferocity
The charm is even more irresistible.
Reggie had already lost patience with this group of numb werewolves, but for the sake of this girl, Reggie temporarily changed his mind. He handed Chi Luomen to the soldiers, turned around, and watched with interest
Businessman behind.
"One sheep has one hundred and thirty pounds of grain. This is a bit outrageous. What do you think?"
The businessmen looked at each other and did not speak. A young man suddenly came to Reji and said to Reji: "This is the situation. The country of Lane, which is suffering from war, does not produce food. Several countries around it are infested by insects. In the country of Genting, food is not available."
The price has risen to twenty copper coins, and one hundred and thirty pounds of grain is worth twenty-six silver coins."
Reggie looked up and down at this young businessman. He should be only fifteen or sixteen years old, but he was standing in the middle of the businessmen. The material of his clothes was obviously a higher grade than other businessmen. It seemed that he was unusual among this group of businessmen.
status.
From the time he started talking to now, he didn't use an honorific or even a decent title for Reggie. It seemed that he didn't regard Reggie as the master of Sangro Port, and he didn't know much about Reggie's reputation.
"You don't seem to know much about me."
"I have heard your name and know that you are from Broken Snow City, that's all."
Reggie's reputation on the West Coast is indeed not that great, but this young man is too arrogant. At least he should be able to see that Reggie was pointing a musket at the head of the Spotted Wolf King just now.
"It doesn't matter, I think you will understand me soon," Reggie smiled tolerantly and asked, "How much can a sheep sell for in Genting Country?"
"Why are you asking?"
"I just want to make a comparison," Reggie said. "A fat sheep can be sold for fifty silver coins in Suixue City, while the food in Suixue City only costs twelve copper coins per pound. That is to say, a fat sheep can be sold for fifty silver coins in Suixue City."
The sheep can be exchanged for at least four hundred pounds of grain."
"That's the market in Suixue City. If you think it's more cost-effective there, go do business there." The young man smiled contemptuously at Reggie, and a middle-aged businessman next to him tugged at the corner of his clothes.
He threw her away with a look of disgust.
A young man should have some arrogance, but being so arrogant like him is a bit annoying. Reggie nodded and said, "What you said makes sense. These sheep are so fat and strong. They should be sold to Suixue City. There is no need for them here."
You, get out!"
The young man was stunned. Seeing Reggie turning to leave, the young man immediately chased after him: "Wait a minute, what did you mean just now?"
He chased after Reggie and wanted to grab Reggie's clothes, but found that Modeza's gun was already pointed at his head.
Just now, Modesa killed a soldier. The boy saw the horror of the musket. He took two steps back, tried his best to restrain his panic, and shouted to Reggie: "Tell your people to kill him."
Put down your weapons, you have no idea who I am."
"Is this important?" Reggie rolled his eyes and looked at the young man, "No matter who you are, you must abide by my rules on my territory."
"We have always abided by the rules here. We handed over the offerings after we disembarked from the ship. After handing over the offerings, we can do business freely. Isn't this the rule of Sangro Port?"
"The rules have changed now because the owner here has changed."
"You accepted the offerings and then changed the rules. Are all the people in Broken Snow City as shameless as you?"
Fortunately, Iron Skull and his orc army were not present, otherwise this young man would have died.
Reggie stared at him for a while. He wanted to know who gave this young man so much courage. Someone had just died here, so why couldn't he see much fear on his face.
The young man felt very uncomfortable when he was looked at by Reggie: "Why are you staring at me? You look so irritating..."
Halfway through the words, the young man suddenly lost his voice. His face turned red and he couldn't utter a word for a while.
The orc army was not there, but there was a bad-tempered wizard beside him. Charka blocked the young businessman's trachea and suffocated him for almost a minute.
"Did you use witchcraft on me? You despicable..." The young man just regained his breath, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he choked again. Charka whispered to Reggie: "Just let him die, this guy
It’s really unbearable.”
This time he was suffocated for a much longer time. Reggie paid close attention to the reactions of the businessmen. They were nervous but not panicked. Several businessmen's right hands were shaking, which was a sign before drawing their swords, and several businessmen kept speaking.
Looking at Reji, he seemed to want to negotiate with him. The group of subordinates were both civilized and military, and it was obvious that this young man had a lot of background.
Reggie signaled Charka to withdraw his witchcraft. The young man coughed for a long time, but he did not speak in a hurry. The pain of suffocation twice taught him to restrain himself.
"Are you willing to listen to my rules now?" Reggie looked at the other party with a smile.
"If you want to use violence to oppress innocent businessmen, it's okay if you don't listen to such rules."
"There are indeed some elements of violence, but it is definitely not bullying." Reggie formulated three new rules for Sangro Port.
First, all herdsmen must sell their livestock to Reggie.
Second, all merchants must sell goods to Reggie.
Third, everyone can buy goods from Reggie, and all transactions must use coins.
After hearing Reggie's rules, the young man thought for a long time and finally discovered the key point.
"Why not let us trade directly with the shepherds?"
Reggie said: "Because you are too smart, the shepherds always suffer from you."
"Nonsense! Our merchants have never oppressed the shepherds!"
"Your businessman?" Reggie looked at the young man in surprise. The young man knew that he had spilled the beans. He panicked for a moment and quickly regained his composure.
"I mean we have never bullied the shepherds. You don't allow us to trade directly because you want to make a profit!"
"Yes, I have plans in this regard." In front of everyone, Reggie admitted readily, without any cover-up.
The young man said angrily: "You don't earn enough. Each side takes 30% of the offerings. Do you want to drive everyone crazy?"
Reggie smiled and immediately announced the most important rule.
"The market is closed today and all transactions are prohibited. Starting from tomorrow, Sangro Port will no longer collect any offerings! All offerings collected today will be returned in full!"
