Chapter 61 Spending a Ton of Money

Chapter 61 Spending a Thousand Gold

Not long after, Gallon and Tom, who had bought the wrought iron, came to the tavern as agreed.

According to the description of the two, they visited several iron ore trading shops, and after some comparison and negotiation, they bought two thousand kilograms of wrought iron at a price of 40 copper coins per kilogram, spending a total of 80 gold coins.

The quality of these two thousand kilograms of wrought iron is medium to low, and it is not a good product, but it is completely sufficient to forge some tools used in production and life, such as plowshares.

Roning looked at the pieces of wrought iron brought by Tom, and asked for his poor eyesight to see the quality.

"Well done!"

Roning took the remaining 20 gold coins from Gallon and praised the two.

It was the first time in their lives that the two carried so many gold coins and spent so many gold coins. Being able to get this done shows that the two are still capable.

Unlike some useless guys, they dare not buy things with money in their hands.

In one morning, Roning was in a good mood after getting so many things done.

He called the waiter to prepare the dishes, and asked Garen to arrange lunch for the guards guarding the carriage.

During the meal, Ronin introduced Rydar by the way, saying that he was a wandering knight he met by chance, and now he joined Shanlin Town and was loyal to him.

Garen had no specific knowledge of the high-level peak knights, but Tom was different.

As a junior knight, he knew the power of the high-level peak knights.

This was not the key point. Before, the lord relied on a trick to deceive the Knight Filiton of the Sean Territory, so that the other party did not dare to act rashly.

But now, Lord Ronin has a genuine high-level peak knight by his side, and I am afraid that he will not have to worry so much about Sean Territory in the future.

During this period, he personally felt Ronin's uniqueness, and he felt more and more that he followed the right master. Maybe in the future he can really stand out and reproduce the glory of his ancestors!

After lunch, Ronin took the caravan to circulate in various shops and stalls of daily necessities.

He wanted to open an iron and wood workshop, so he needed to buy axes, saws, and axe;

He wanted to continue to reclaim wasteland, so hoes and shovels were also necessary. He felt so annoyed when he saw the tools made of stone by the serfs.

After spending a whole afternoon comparing several shops, Roning finally bought all the tools.

There were 20 axes, saws, and axe, and 400 hoes and shovels. Even after bargaining for several rounds, he still spent 172 gold, 7 silver, and 60 copper coins.

Axes, saws, and axe were prepared for the iron and wood workshop. Considering the loss of tools, 20 of each was not much;

A total of 800 hoes and shovels, he planned to distribute them equally among the villages.

It can be seen that these tools are far from enough for each serf, but Roning has made great efforts to invest so much money at one time.

So far, he has spent more than 900 gold coins in this visit to the herdsman city!

A baron from a remote mountain village could actually spend a fortune. If this matter were spread out, no one would dare to believe it. Ye Yan

Roning now only has 281 gold coins on hand. After reserving everyone's salary for a year, he still has dozens of gold coins left.

I remember that when I first crossed over, I was penniless and had nothing. If I wanted to reach the mountain town safely, I had to get a little here and cheat there.

But now it's different. Roning already has a way and plan to make money. He is like a farmer with food at home, no longer panicking.

After purchasing various materials, most of Roning's plans to go to the horse-herding city have been completed. The only thing left is to go to the slave house and inquire about the slave trade.

The sale and trading of slaves is allowed in this world. Basically, there are slave exchanges in every city and even in some knights' manors.

Here, as long as you are a free man and as long as you can afford the price, you can legally own slaves that belong to you completely and use all the rights of the master to the slaves.

To some extent, slaves are even lower in status than the serfs in the territory.

As a time traveler, Roning's knowledge of slavery is limited to books. He has not seen the real life and experience of slaves with his own eyes, so he can't empathize.

Perhaps civilization told him that slavery is not good, but as the saying goes, he can't change anything now.

Since it can't be changed, then adapt to the local customs and use this system to improve yourself.

At present, the total population of Shanlin Town has just exceeded 2,000, which is quite different from the ordinary baronies with a population of tens of thousands.

Wanting to rely on attracting free people to join and relying on the people in the territory to grow the population is a bit slow.

He wants the population of the territory to grow fast in a short period of time, so he can only buy it with money.

And for Roning, if he can buy a thousand people at a time, he can also complete the population achievement and strengthen his own strength.

This is a good thing to kill many birds with one stone.

Before it gets dark, Roning inquired about the location information of the slave exchange, and rushed there with the team early the next morning.

In order to control and tame slaves, exchanges were mostly set up outside the city, and some were even set up in a knight's manor.

Roning was riding on his horse and looking at the slave house in front of him in a daze.

He originally thought that the exchange would be a large yard, and then some prisons, where the slaves would be locked up.

But the small castle-like exchange in front of him was obviously beyond his expectations.

The high walls made of stone and mud were full of spikes. Although it was not as strong as the walls of the noble castle, it was enough to prevent people inside from climbing over the wall and escaping.

In addition, tall watchtowers were built with wood at the four corners of the high wall. Each watchtower was equipped with a special monitor. Once a situation was discovered, these monitors would immediately report it.

In addition, there was a team of people patrolling back and forth around the high wall, and four people were arranged to guard the main entrance of the exchange to ensure that everything was safe.

When the guards saw a team of people coming towards the exchange, they immediately became alert.

However, those who came so swaggeringly were likely to be customers, so they did not show any hostility.

As soon as Roning and others arrived outside the exchange, a middle-aged man hurried out of the gate. He trotted to Roning's horse with a playful smile and offered courtesy and greetings.

"Good morning, gentlemen. I am the manager of the Viper Exchange in the Horse Herder City. You can call me Anthony!"

Anthony only took a glance and roughly knew that this group of people was led by the young man in front of him, and this young man had a signature silver hair. He immediately thought of someone.

As a manager who has been dealing with the outside world for many years, Anthony's eyesight is no less than Hooker of the Silva Magic Chamber of Commerce.

It's just that this is not a trading area, and the slave house is not an ordinary chamber of commerce, so even if he guessed Roning's identity, he would not take the initiative to point it out if the latter did not take the initiative to make it clear.

"Hello Anthony, I want to see the slaves here."

Roning, riding on a horse, stated the purpose of this trip, "If there are suitable ones, I will take a batch away."

Anthony's ears moved, and he noticed that Roning was not talking about one, but a batch.

This is a big customer!

As a result, every inch of the steward's face was revealing a flattering smile, "Master, don't worry, no matter what kind of goods you need, our Viper Slave Exchange will provide you with it!"

Roning turned over and dismounted, and handed the horse to Galen for management, "Let's go, take me to visit your slave house."
