“Massive brother.”

Seeing Lu Yuan, particularly the big basket on his again, the main Biao Ye immediately revealed a touch of smile.

He walked proper as much as the basket with none courtesies and opened it to have a look. He pushed apart the nugatory rabbit skins, and when he noticed the Wild Yellow Canine skins inside, his eyes lit up, clicking his tongue in awe, “Three giant pelts, you’ve received fairly a harvest previously two months.”

“It’s all because of Biao Ye’s blessings.” Lu Yuan complimented him, however in his coronary heart, he couldn’t assist however curse. He knew he was going to be bled dry by this skinflint.

Biao Ye chuckled and put down the basket lid, saying, “You understand the principles, 30% safety price for the products. The pelts listed here are price about two silver taels, so the safety price this time is six cents.”

“The small fry understands.”

Upon listening to the worth, Lu Yuan’s coronary heart bled. He hated not having the ability to minimize Biao Ye down with a single stroke as he watched his grinning face.

However after seeing the sturdy builds of Biao Ye and his gang of three or 5 lackeys, that loopy thought instantly vanished.

Though he’s a hunter and fairly expert, it’s clearly a joke to suppose he may single-handedly tackle a number of burly males.

To not point out, that is their Previous Nest, the town the place the Black Wolf Gang has their base. If something occurred, the Black Wolf Gang can be alerted instantly and arrive very quickly.

By then, the Black Wolf Gang would cooperate with the federal government, and probably he wouldn’t even be capable of depart the town earlier than being caught.

So, there was no method he may resist them. The one approach to safely conduct enterprise was to actually pay the safety price.

Actually taking out 540 copper cash from his pocket, Lu Yuan counted them fastidiously and handed them over.

One silver tael was equal to 10 cents, which was 9 hundred coppers. Six cents was 540 coppers.

He had ready these copper cash earlier than descending the mountain, understanding he couldn’t keep away from this layer of exploitation.

“Right here’s the safety price, Biao Ye, please settle for it.”

Biao Ye weighed the copper cash in his hand, glanced at his remaining coppers, and greed flashed in his eyes, however then it was gone.

Though there have been nonetheless fairly just a few cash left in Lu Yuan’s hand, probably a number of hundred coppers, folks of their line of labor sought to make a gentle revenue in the long term.

Exacerbating that exploitation can be like draining the lake to catch fish, doubtlessly driving this teenager out of enterprise within the county city eternally.

In spite of everything, few may bear that kind of skinning and bloodsucking exploitation.

Everybody wanted to make a dwelling.

By forcing somebody into destitution, leaving them with out a single copper, how may they survive?

Don’t they should purchase rice, salt, and different requirements? Don’t they should save up for marrying or having youngsters?

What’s extra, the enterprise of being a hunter meant mingling with harmful beasts, continually combating and killing, so the occupation tended to draw these with a little bit of brutality and fierceness. If these folks weren’t given a method out, they’d naturally not offer you one both.

Biao Ye didn’t suppose that this seemingly timid little man, who dutifully paid up, was actually simply as cowardly as he appeared on the floor.

Who is aware of, perhaps the teenager was secretly plotting to stab him to dying.

So, the clever Biao Ye pocketed the cash after confirming the safety price was appropriate, and patted Lu Yuan’s shoulder together with his different hand, “Not unhealthy, actually paying up is healthier than these short-sighted folks. Alright, go about your small business.”

“Sure, I perceive.”

Lu Yuan continued to drive a smile, suppressing his urge to chop down the man in entrance of him on the spot as he managed to see them off.

…

After paying twice, nobody else got here to trouble him.

Laden with the basket, Lu Yuan, who had paid his safety price, headed straight to a tannery he was acquainted with.

“Supervisor Liu, take a look. These pelts are virtually all complete and intact, with minimal injury and scratches, and the fur may be very lustrous. They’re high quality items.”

Among the many companies available in the market, Lu Yuan took out a number of pelts from the basket and strained to advertise them to the smiling and chubby supervisor in entrance of him.

As he listened, Supervisor Liu nodded and hummed in settlement, however his eyes sparkled with crafty and avarice.

After Lu Yuan completed talking, Supervisor Liu touched the pelts, feeling their delicate texture, and leisurely stated, “Certainly, they’re of top of the range, however these pelts are initially simply low-grade pelts that aren’t price a lot.

Even when their high quality is phenomenal, that doesn’t make them useful.

Moreover, a few of these pelts aren’t even full.”

Lu Yuan’s coronary heart sank.

The implication of the supervisor’s phrases was clear: he was attempting to decrease the worth.

Nevertheless, he had already anticipated this and was ready to simply accept it so long as the worth was not too low.

Because of this, he bluntly requested, “How a lot are you keen to pay?”

Supervisor Liu chuckled and held up two fingers, “Two silver taels.”

This value was certainly in regards to the market value, simply as Biao Ye had talked about earlier, however it was the bottom value.

Lu Yuan was not going to simply accept this, so he shook his head, “Too low. You must add extra, in any other case I’d quite promote them myself at a stand.”

Though the 4 Connections Tannery specialised in fur commerce and was the biggest within the county city, even monopolizing the transactions, the market additionally allowed particular person distributors to arrange their very own stands.

Since Lu Yuan had already paid the safety charges to the town gate tax official and the Black Wolf Gang, he abided by the principles.

So, although the tannery was backed by the Black Wolf Gang, they couldn’t drive the Black Wolf Gang to maintain coming after somebody who had already paid the safety price.

Subsequently, it was attainable for Lu Yuan to arrange his personal stand to promote his pelts, however he must spend extra on a spot to remain within the metropolis and that will be an additional expense.

With a purpose to get monetary savings and bother, hunters normally went straight to large outlets just like the 4 Connections Tannery to make one-time giant transactions.

After all, if the tannery lowered the worth an excessive amount of, the hunters would naturally not be keen to promote at a loss. They might quite put themselves by means of the difficulty and arrange a stand to promote their items.

In spite of everything, these have been pelts they’d risked their lives for; who can be keen to promote them cheaply?

Supervisor Liu understood this precept, so he hesitated for a second and waved the 2 fingers he was holding up, “I’ll add one other 200 coppers, at most.”

Two thousand copper cash.

Lu Yuan weighed the providing, which was about the identical as his previous transaction costs. He knew it was the supervisor’s backside line and that he couldn’t ask for extra, so he nodded, “Alright, deal.”

Supervisor Liu’s face instantly relaxed, and he ordered his employees to take the pelts whereas he took out the cash from the counter and handed it over, finishing the transaction.

Lu Yuan couldn’t assist however grumble inwardly.

He paid 100 coppers for the town entrance tax and 540 coppers for the safety price. His pelts offered for two,000 coppers, leaving him with a revenue of 1,360 copper cash.

After his unique self and his personal transmigration, all his exhausting work over two months solely earned him one tael and 5 cents.

Averaging it out, it was lower than one tael a month.

Even the laborers within the metropolis who did easy work earned over a tael a month.

It’s actually…

“As I believed, being a hunter and an unlawful resident is actually not human!”

Lu Yuan sighed in his coronary heart, much more decided to eliminate his standing restrictions as quickly as attainable.

In any other case, doing issues can be too restrictive, and it might be insufferable.
