After the separation, the family had a lot of fish and meat every day, and the best was furious

Chapter 427 The Latest Situation of the Xiluo People

Fox furs are very valuable, so if the Xiluo people go fox hunting, their farming will be disrupted.

Agriculture and sericulture are the foundation of a country. It seems that everyone in Xiro is living a good life now, but if this continues, it may not be the case.

This is to deal with Xi Luo from the root.

Tian Wei didn't know what Lin Ting's specific plan was, but this was what he could guess.

He said that with someone like Madam Lin in Dongxia, how could they do business at a loss?

After observing in Yangcheng for an afternoon, Lin Ting saw someone riding an ox cart and carrying a basket on his back coming towards the street.

The backpack exuded the scent of fox fur. Lin Ting walked forward and greeted the middle-aged man.

"Hello, uncle. Are you here to sell fox fur? From your accent just now, I don't think you are from Yangcheng, right?"

Lin Ting just heard this man talking to the ox cart driver and was sure that he was not from here.

According to Lin Ting's understanding, Xiluo does not only collect fox fur in Yangcheng, but now people in many places also collect it, but the prices vary.

The uncle carrying the basket on his back saw that Lin Ting and the others looked like Dongxia people, and thought that she wanted to collect fox furs, so he stopped and talked to Lin Ting and the others.

"I'm from Dar. The price of fox fur there isn't as good as in Yangcheng, so I wanted to come here and take a look."

After saying that, the uncle put down the backpack and lifted the cloth covering it.

There were five skins in it, four of which were brown, but one was a silver fox, and the fur was of a particularly beautiful color.

"Are you from Dongxia? Do you collect fox furs? These fox furs I hunted are all from the best and most beautiful foxes in our area."

Lin Ting: "That's right, let's sit down and talk."

Lin Ting pointed to a tea stall nearby. The uncle saw that Lin Ting looked very wealthy, and from her dress, he could tell at a glance that she was not an ordinary person.

The two sat at the tea stall, Bai Lu stood next to Lin Ting, and Ling Feng and Tian Wei sat at a table next to them.

"What's your name, uncle?"

The person opposite him looked to be in his fifties and seemed to be the head of an ordinary farming household.

"Just call me Dawa. Madam, you can tell at a glance that I am a blessed person."

"Thank you. How much would you like to sell these fox furs, Uncle Dawa?"

If you want to know the situation of the Xiro people, communicating with the grassroots people is the fastest and most direct way to understand.

"I heard that the fur shops in Yangcheng offer the fairest prices and also have samples for comparison. If Madam really wants these fox furs of mine, just give me the same price as the fur shops."

This was not the first time Uncle Dawa had gone to the fur shop to sell fox furs. He had a rough idea of ​​how much money he could get from selling these fox furs.

It’s just that this location is a bit far from the Chengmen Fur Shop. If Lin Ting offered a suitable price, he wouldn’t have to go to the shop.

Lin Ting also understood what he meant. He looked at the fox skin in the backpack and pointed at the silver fox skin.

"I'll give you ten taels of silver for this silver fox pelt, and five taels each for the remaining ones. How about that?"

Dawa's face lit up with joy. Ten taels of silver was the normal price for a silver fox, but the other four fox skins were not worth five taels of silver at all. The price Lin Ting gave him was much higher than the market price.

"Ma'am, this...this price is very good."

Lin Ting picked up the teacup and drank tea, while Bai Lu took out thirty taels of silver from her waist and gave it to Dawa.

Seeing so much silver, Dawa felt that all his hunting efforts were worth it. Now he could take the silver home and do many things.

"Uncle, the fox fur you brought this time is really beautiful. Maybe everyone has had a good wheat harvest recently, so fewer and fewer people come to sell fox fur. It's really rare to see such beautiful fur like the one you hunted."

Lin Ting chatted casually with Dawa and pushed a cup of tea in front of Dawa.

Autumn is dry, so this tea is very timely for Dawa.

"It's not a matter of harvest. The people of Xiluo have heard that you, the people of Dongxia, love fox fur.

In addition, there are now a large number of merchants coming to buy fox furs, and no one wants to miss this opportunity to make money.

At my age, I can earn thirty taels of silver by spending half a month hunting foxes.

If we were to continue as we were before, with the wheat we grew and the cattle and sheep we raised, we wouldn't be able to earn this much in a year, even after deducting costs."

Dawa thought of the cow in his family. He was just an ordinary citizen, and it was already good enough for a family to have a cow.

Even if there were cows and they gave birth to calves to sell, it would take several months to earn that much silver.

Compared to this, he preferred to go fox hunting, since there were a lot of foxes in Xiro anyway.

"It seems that fox hunting is indeed a good way to make money. The Xiluo people are very smart."

Lin Ting turned the teacup in his hand with an approachable smile on his face.

But after hearing her words, Dawa nodded in agreement.

“Earning money is earning money, but there are so many people in Xiluo, and everyone wants to earn money. Fox hunting has become something that every household is willing to do.

There are more and more merchants buying fox furs, and people from all over the country go fox hunting. Foxes with good fur color are highly sought after.

The remaining ones are all foxes with ugly fur colors and no value, so it is not easy for you, Madam, to receive fox furs with good fur colors now."

During this period, the fox fur business was not doing well and the output also decreased. In addition, there was a lack of high-quality fox fur. Lin Ting also discovered this on the bill.

"With fewer foxes, there will be more merchants, which will suppress prices, and the cycle will continue."

Dawa lowered his eyelids, agreeing with what Lin Ting said.

"That's right, now everyone wants to seize this opportunity, and any man who can move in the family will go out to look for foxes.

I just hope that you Dongxia people will like fox fur for a little longer, so that everyone can get what they need and it will be perfect."

Lin Ting: "Yes, within three years, this business will definitely continue."

After parting with Uncle Dawa, Lin Ting learned that selling fox furs was now the main source of income for the Xiluo people. Everyone went fox hunting. The Xiluo army was also human and needed silver.

King Xiluo is already a fierce tiger before he even grows up. In a few years, Dongxia may very likely cease to exist.

However, the current Dongxia will definitely not sit idly by and wait for death.

Lin Ting watched the sunset. After the darkness, dawn would surely come.

"Ma'am, are we going home?"

"Let's go back inside the store."

After staying in Yangcheng for two days, the autumn wind blew away the lanterns at the door. Yangcheng, which had not seen rain for half a year, seemed to be about to usher in a rainstorm.

Thinking that Shen Qingzhou and his men were at the foot of Wushan Volcano, with only a few simple tents, they didn't know if they could withstand such a heavy rain.

"Lingfeng, go prepare the horses, the tents and the food, and follow me to Wushan."

Lord Shen and his men are in Wushan, and Lin Ting is also going to Wushan. These things must be prepared for Lord Shen and his men.

"Yes, ma'am."

Lin Ting found it easier to buy these things in Yangcheng than in the border town, and Yangcheng was also closer to Wushan, and it only took one hour to get there.
