Chapter 4 The First Pot of Gold

Seeing that both sides were going to discuss business, the hotel owner packed up a table and asked both sides to talk.

Lin Kaixin, who sat down, drank the drink he brought and said to the leader of the mercenary group: "The purpose of hiring mercenaries is to obtain titles in the future, to go to the battlefield. Life is in danger at any time."

The leader of the Mercenary Group: "What we mercenaries have to go to the battlefield almost every year is just a relationship between state employment and private employment. Of course, it is very dangerous on the battlefield, but there are only a few people who die on the battlefield. Most of the defeated parties are captured or fled.

Those who escaped will naturally be fine. Those who died in battle can only say that he is unlucky, and those who are captured still have the chance to exchange prisoners or buy them back. Even if the prisoners who have no money to redeem them, the worst outcome is to go to the mine as mine slaves."

In the past, Lin Kaixin's understanding of this world only came from Xueshi Village. Xueshi Village is just an agricultural village. Nearly half of the village's income every year has to be handed over to the local lords for taxation. As for the villagers, they are naturally struggling on the food and clothing line.

However, this was the case for most periods of feudal society, and there was nothing special about it.

While the two were talking, the maid, Jasmine, who had a plump and charming figure, brought tea and water to several people and gave her a snack. Lin Kaixin tasted it. According to the taste, the snack was made of flour, sugar and red beans.

After the maid, Jasmine, finished all this, she sat directly on Lin Kaixin's thigh.

This is considered harassment? Lin Kaixin thought, but why am I so happy?

The two sides continued to talk after drinking water and eating some snacks.

Lin Kaixin has no objection to the price and has started to trade in other worlds. The problem that money can solve is not a problem.

The problem is that Lin Kaixin doesn’t have that much money in her hands. Now Lin Kaixin only has dozens of silver coins on her body, but she still exchanged it for selling salt from Bloodstone Village.

In this world, the price of salt is very expensive because generally countries import salt from the six Western desert countries. There may be some salt mines in the mountains, but the mountains are all the lands of bandits. The coastal beaches in the south are coastal, but because the rainy south is rainy, salt will be killed by death. You can only boil salt in sea water, because brine has a great corrosion effect on the iron pot, and the cost of boiling salt in sea water remains high. It can only be used as an emergency means rather than the main salt source.

The salt transported from the six desert countries is naturally not too cheap. The retail price is only two and a half kilograms of salt per large silver dollar, which is equivalent to buying half a kilogram of salt per small silver dollar. Moreover, the quality of the salt here can only be considered coarse salt in Lin Kaixin's opinion.

But people must not eat salt, otherwise they will lose all their strength and may even die of illness.

The two parties made an agreement that the mercenary group would come to help Lin Kaixin sell goods tomorrow morning. After the goods were paid, Lin Kaixin would pay the settlement fee and sign the contract with the mercenary group. The notary who signed the contract was naturally the owner of the hotel. This involved an employer paying 5% of the notarization fee, which was to be given to the notary.

Without this fee, the hotel owner naturally would not owe any debts and would have to keep a mercenary group to eat and live here.

After the negotiations, Lin Kaixin went back to the room first. Jasmine hooked Lin Kaixin's arm to guide the way. When she entered the room, she heard the squeaking bed inside, and then no one came out.

The best room under Lin Kai Xinbao is still good. The entrance is a large living room. In addition to the master bedroom, there are two servant rooms. Of course, the main point is that the bed in the master bedroom is big and comfortable - especially when there is a mattress like Jasmine.

Jasmine got the tip before dawn the next morning—the dozens of silver coins left on Lin Kaixin.

Lin Kaixin, who had a little weak legs, returned home and made two calls first and ordered a batch of ten tons of coarse salt and twenty tons of five millimeters of steel plate. The set specification was two square meters per piece. Five millimeters of steel plate, two square meters per piece, and the weight of two square meters per piece was also 78 kilograms, which was equivalent to the weight of an adult. If Lin Kaixin had not upgraded two levels and added three attribute points, he would still not be able to pick it up. Coarse salt was fifty kilograms per pack, and ten tons of coarse salt was 200 packs.

Among them, the price of steel plate is 4,200 per ton, 20 tons and 84,000 yuan. The price of coarse salt is 5,510 tons and 10 tons is 5,550 yuan. I also bought a box of fine salt for my own people to eat, and I spent a total of 90,000 yuan of soft sister coins.

Although the world over there is also shortage of food, some of the domestic grain is also imported. On the contrary, the domestic steel and salt output is greater than the sales, so a large amount of imported grain will have problems. As for buying more salt and steel, basically no one will manage it.

After resting for a long time, the steel plates and salt were delivered one after another and unloaded the goods directly in the yard.

After recovering some of the physical strength that had been exhausted from plowing Jasmine on five times, Lin Kaixin began to send salt and steel plates into the door bit by bit, then opened the door and placed some of the salt and steel plates in the living room - all of them were about 30 tons. Lin Kaixin was afraid that the room on the second floor would collapse.

The coarse salt I took out was ten packs, five hundred kilograms, and the steel plate I took out was forty pieces, more than three thousand kilograms.

Then Lin Kaixin went downstairs and asked the proprietress to call the mercenary group to move the goods. The leader of the mercenary group, Mo Lin, and the deputy mercenary leader Murphy, came to see the goods first. There was nothing good about salt, it was nothing but snow-white salt particles.

Lin Kaixin said: "I calculate such salt by the wholesale price of one pound of a small silver dollar. One bag can sell one hundred small silver dollars. That is, yes, twenty large silver dollars and one small gold."

Mo Lin picked up a bag of salt and picked up the portion: "More than that, a bag of salt is about 110 kilograms. Even at the wholesale price of one kilogram and one small silver dollar, it should be sold for 22 large silver dollars, one small gold and two large silver dollars."

Lin Kaixin knew that the two worlds had different concepts about pounds. One pound here is about 0.45 kilograms on the earth.

I borrowed the hotel and praised it. A sack of salt really weighed 111 kilograms. Excluding the sack weight, it looked about 110 kilograms. Tenth generation coarse salt can sell about 220 large silver dollars and 21 small gold coins.

A piece of steel plate with a thickness of five millimeters and a weight of 173 kilograms is a little over 173 kilograms. In this world, the price of steel is still very high, because there is no blast furnace steelmaking. Here we first use a blast furnace to smelter, and then use a hundred forging method to obtain 100 steelmaking.

A large silver dollar can buy two and a half kilograms of salt, but only one kilogram of 100 steel.

According to the inspection by Molin and Murphy, the steel Lin Kaixin took out is not worse than that of Bailian Steel. Moreover, such a large piece of steel plate has a uniform texture, which is difficult to achieve by Bailian Steel. It can be made into a good sword and is also a good material for making armor.
