Chapter 318: Selling Honey
The so-called convoy is actually a few horses that are captured at the moment, and then put into the animal pen to be domesticated and converted into vehicles.
Watermelons and grapes can be stacked to 999, and a horse can carry about 5,000 fruits. Load all the watermelons and grapes in the warehouse and ice cellar, and you can do it with just 6 horses!
Polypoch was so frightened that he brought so many horses that he could not take a tenth of the fruit. But the six horses of the Holy Dragon City took all the fruits!
During the questioning, he learned that Lord Kean, the lord of Holy Dragon City, was a spatial magister who could transform the horse into a special vehicle with spatial abilities.
He begged Master Keane to sell him the horse, saying that he would give it no matter how much money he had. However, the other party resolutely disagreed, and was only willing to lease a transport team to himself.
Polypoch quickly figured out that after all, he and Master Keane were meeting for the first time, and the two sides did not have enough mutual trust. Therefore, he did not insist any longer, so he decisively agreed to lease the convoy and took the members of the caravan to count the number of fruits.
In the end, it was calculated that there were 13,218 watermelons and 21,776 bunches of grapes.
After a period of discussion between Jia Zhengjin and Polypochi, they finally came to the conclusion that the watermelons were sold to Polypoch at a price of 2 silver coins each, and the grapes were sold to Polypoch at a price of 1 silver coin per bunch. The reason why grapes are cheaper is because there are more people who grow grapes, and the yield is far better than that of watermelons.
In the end, the watermelon sold for 265 gold coins and the grape sold for 218 gold coins.
This is not much for Jia Zhengjin, but for melon farmers, it is a great fortune!
483 gold coins were nothing to Polipoch, and he easily took them out.
Jia Zhengjin distributed the money evenly among the melon farmers, and the city suddenly became like a celebration, and everyone was overjoyed.
It's not that he doesn't want gold coins, it's just that the income from selling melons is too small, so it is better to share them with the melon farmers.
"Master Kean, we will come back next month, and we will take all the fruit according to the price, no matter how much fruit there is!" said after Poripocchi paid, looking at Jia Zhengjin seriously.
"That's a good feeling!" Jia Zhengjin nodded, thinking that it seems that more ice cellars and warehouses should be built to store fruits. The greater the harvest and the better the life of the farmers in the city, the stronger the centripetal force towards the Holy Dragon City. It can even attract more people to join the Holy Dragon City. When the number of people reaches a certain level, the tax system can be introduced accordingly, and then the source of gold can be easily increased!
As members of the convoy, they must have a certain strength to protect the caravan from robbers, to protect the cargo from loss, and most importantly, to decisively kill the caravan when they are no match for the enemy to make sure they do not fall into the hands of others!
After thinking about it, Jia Zhengjin felt that the elves would definitely not be able to! Although they were outstanding, let alone protecting others, they themselves were the ones who needed to be protected. If you send elves out, I'm afraid the most worrying thing is that you will attract major forces to capture them as slaves again.
Although the strength of the town guards is good, they are not enough to undertake such a task. After all, caravans are going to go all over the world, and it is a bit difficult with their strength.
The town guards are not good, and the Holy Dragon Guards are even worse! their training is not as good as that of the town guards, and their strength is far behind.
After thinking about it, Jia Zhengjin finally decided to let Carl be the captain of the transport team, with his second-order demonic beast Dakras, and then 500 kobold crossbowmen as the main force, with 1,000 giant bees Ruruto.
This kind of force is actually not very strong, after all, kobold crossbowmen and Ruruto are both cannon fodder-level existences. But because of the numerical superiority, it is very effective to delay the enemy. And the main force Carl is a werewolf, his own combat effectiveness is good, and there is the existence of the second-order demonic beast Dakras, which ordinary robbers can deal with!
This transport team is based on the second-order Demonic Beast Dakras!
If it's an enemy that Dakras can't defeat, then with kobolds, Carl can easily kill the vehicle and keep it out of the hands of the enemy, and transfer the goods to the silk bag. And with the delay of the kobolds, they can also successfully use Ruluto to take all the caravan members away!
After the convoy was formed, not only Jia Zhengjin was satisfied, but Poripocchi was also quite satisfied! Although he was full of doubts about why Lord Keene was able to tame the kobold and ruluto, and even train them into a strong army, having such a convoy could ensure that the goods would not be robbed or lost on the way, and the lives of the caravan members could also be safe!
Over the years, the Chamber of Commerce has traveled from south to north, and they have encountered robbers and underground troops of certain forces, and it is nothing to be taken away with gold, silver, treasures and goods, and some members who lost their lives because of this will never come back!
Because Polypoch bought all the watermelons and grapes in the city, Jia Zhengjin realized that maybe the Kingdom of Salves did lack all kinds of food because of its geographical location. And besides fruit, of course he has better goods here! and his own goods!
The hive produces a lot of honey every day, and now the warehouse is full.
Jia Zhengjin immediately asked someone to take a bottle of honey and let Polypoch try it.
When Polipoch ate the honey, he was so surprised that he immediately asked to buy all the honey!
I didn't even ask the price, I just wanted to buy them all, it seems that this guy is much richer than Matru's side!
However, Jia Zhengjin can't sell it all to him, after all, some of it must be kept in the city, and it is indispensable on the table every day! And many times, these honeys can also be used as a slow recovery potion during battle!
Therefore, out of more than 20,000 bottles of honey, Jia Zhengjin only agreed to sell 5,000 bottles to Polypoch first! It's not that he doesn't want to make more money, it's just that the Holy Dragon City may have another war at any time, and he doesn't know which force will come to attack. You must prepare enough honey for yourself!
Although Poripocchi felt that it was not enough, he must not be too anxious and too greedy for the first transaction.
After discussion, it was decided to sell the deal at a price of 2 gold coins per bottle.
Because honey not only tastes good, but even has a healing effect on stamina and stamina. Polipoch is definitely not worried about sales, and even thinks that 5,000 bottles is not enough!
When making the payment, Bori Poch took out a black card with a six-star magic array painted on it, which looked quite mysterious.
Jia Zhengjin didn't know what it was, but when he saw Polypoch handing over the card, he took it.
The gold coins are too heavy to carry. Most reputable merchants will entrust the Magic Guild to help make these cards, and deposit a large sum of money in the Magic Guild Bank. During the transaction, the magic teleportation array will be opened, and the magic guild staff will transfer the requested amount through the teleportation array. It's more convenient to transfer money between cards and cards directly within the Magic Guild!
【News】Do you immediately withdraw gold coins from your magic money card?
[Yes] Jia Zhengjin chose to be sure.
【Message】Please enter the withdrawal amount!
Jia Zhengjin thought for a moment and directly entered 10,000 gold coins. However, because of a momentary miss, I hit one more zero.
【MESSAGE】The number of coins is wrong!Please re-enter!
Jia Zhengjin was quite surprised, it was quite advanced! It seems that when Polipoch took out the card, the amount had already been set.
He re-entered 10,000, and this time he noticed a pile of shiny gold coins like a hill in front of him.
Quickly put in the virtual backpack, and sure enough, there was no mistake, and 10,000 gold coins arrived!
