……

With the endless Hawking, Zhang Cheng finally saw the true face of this so-called second-largest city in Westeros.

Like most medieval style cities, the sanitary condition of Junlin is really not very good. It can even be called dirty and messy. The streets and buildings have not been planned at all. They are piled up in a mess, and the pungent smell of excrement and urine can be smelled from time to time.

However, due to its close proximity to the sea and rivers, the trade is very prosperous. At least there is no sign of unrest at present. Every businessman is trying his best to sell his goods to passers-by in order to make huge profits and bring a large amount of tax revenue to the royal family.

Zhang Cheng is a little confused. Sitting in such a cornucopia, how could Robert, the "green hat king", owe up to six million Golden dragons.

As long as a few decrees are issued to protect and promote maritime trade, and several privateering fleets are funded to burn, kill, loot and establish colonies outside, it will not be long before the Westeros continental version of the era of great navigation will open, and there will be no need to worry about money at all.

However, it is a pity that it may be restricted by his vision or factors he does not know. In short, although the owner of the Iron Throne has a very powerful Royal Fleet, he has never used this fleet to absorb wealth.

Billy drove his carriage carefully through the chaotic street and soon stopped in an alley marked "flour Street".

The smell of wheat and meat from the surrounding area can easily be judged as a food processing area providing bread, sausage and cooked meat products for the whole city.

Not far away, several busy apprentices are assisting the master to take out the freshly baked bread, put it into the prepared wooden basket, and then load the carriage to various hotels, restaurants and markets.

The fat man skillfully jumped out of the car, knocked on the door of one of the food workshops, and shouted at the top of his voice, "Jean! Jean! Come out! The goods you want have arrived!"

"Damn it! Don\'t make a noise! If I burn this oven of bread, I will peel your skin." a grumpy voice quickly came out of the house.

About two or three minutes later, an old man with rough skin and a face pushed open the closed door, waiting for his two turbid eyes to ask, "where are my goods?"

"Well, it\'s all in the car. It\'s definitely the best flour. There\'s absolutely no wheat bran. You have to give me a good price." Billy pointed to the cloth bag at the back.

"Hum! No wheat bran? That\'s what you told me last time, but I found that at least one sixth of it was mixed. If you dare to play such a trick this time, I\'ll tell the golden robe and let them talk to you about integrity." the old man tore open the bag and carefully checked the quality of the flour while threatening.

Although in Zhang Cheng\'s opinion, this yellow and brown wheat flour must contain a lot of impurities, he showed a satisfied expression: "yes! It has been fully improved by two grades compared with the last time, and I will give you an additional 30% price."

"No! No! No! Jain, you have to understand that flour as good as this is not easy to get. The price of 30% is too low, at least 50%. Don\'t think I don\'t know how much it can sell after baking bread. Old man, you are a little greedy." the fat man shook his head desperately and tried to bargain.

"Fifty percent? Are you crazy? The martial arts contest hasn\'t started yet! What\'s more, the reason why bread can sell at a high price is not only the good quality of flour, but also my ancestral baking skills for three generations, up to 40 percent. If you don\'t agree, go away." the old man called Jan directly issued an ultimatum.

If it were not for the recent surge of floating population in Junlin city and the increasing consumption of all kinds of food and drinks, he would not be the head of this injustice.

Billy narrowed his eyes and stared at each other. He seemed to want to judge whether there was any possibility of increasing the price. After more than ten seconds, he pretended to reluctantly promise: "well, for the sake of our cooperation for many years, we have a deal. In addition, I also brought some sausages, bacon, live chicken and wine. If you need them, take them together. I have to run to the next one."

"Old price?" said Jan with a look of distrust.

"Of course, the price is increased by 40%. I tell you, in the next period of time, there will be a large number of knights and nobles in King\'s landing city. As long as you can serve them well, you can make a lot of money, so don\'t be so stingy to your friends." the fat man fought for his own interests impolitely.

"Asshole! You\'re such a greedy snake! Be careful to prop yourself up! Unload it, I\'ll take it all." after saying that, Jain waved to the house.

In the blink of an eye, two young apprentices ran out and carried flour, various food and drinks into the warehouse bag by bag.

After a simple calculation, the old man threw a leather pocket full of silver deer to the fat man.

The latter carefully counted and confirmed that there was no error, and then the two sides completed the transaction.

Although there are more valuable currencies such as Golden Dragon and silver moon, silver deer is the most abundant and widely circulated currency in the commercial field.

Zhang Cheng did not speak from beginning to end. He silently read the whole transaction process and had a general understanding of the business atmosphere of Junlin city.

First of all, most of the time, neither party has signed any paper contracts or agreements, all relying on oral commitments and personal credit guarantee.

Secondly, there are certainly not a few tricks such as filling up and cheating. If you are not careful, you will probably be killed.

Finally, administrative agencies and laws rarely interfere with the behavior of businessmen, and will not increase inexplicable taxes under the same pretext as the dark medieval European Lords on earth.

Just as he was going to continue to observe the local conditions and customs around him, the fat man finally emptied the whole carriage, smiled and invited: "Sir, get in the car, I\'ll take you to the place you want to go most now..."
