Just looking at the number of nearby pedestrians was several times more than in Chonga County.

Juan Schwen nodded.

Yes, system towns naturally attract players.

So, even though this is just a county, it has more foot traffic than typical player control prefectures.

A nearby player chimed in.

Not only that, mainly because they're essentu, so the first few days of every month are this crowded.

Another merchant player added, "Exactly.

Look at all the carts on the road, all transporting goods.

They say it's an auction, but right now, Wamping County is practically one big market.

Merchants not participating in the auction are also gathering here to trade during these days.

" Other players around them joined in the complaints and discussions.

Ruan added a few merchant contacts.

Sujene also gained a lot of useful information from their conversations.

After slowly walking through the crowd for another half hour, they finally reached the city gate of Wongping County.

The walls of Wamping County were built of stone, high and thick, looking very sturdy.

There were several fully armed soldiers patrolling the top.

The city gate was large and several soldiers were checking the incoming traffic.

Stop.

Are these carts behind you yours? A soldier stopped Sugene.

Sugene dismounted.

Yes, these 78 carts are all mine.

Mainly carrying grain and furniture.

Is this your first time here? Do you have a pass? Sujene replied, "Yes, it's my first time.

I don't have a pass.

What should I do? Go register over there.

" Ruan dismounted.

Let me handle it.

Ru was familiar with these matters since she had been here often.

Soon the pass was processed.

It was just a small wooden sign with Sue, Jean, and the others information engraved on it.

The main requirement was to pay the entry fee.

Grain was charged at two of the average trading price while furniture like beds was charged at three of the average trading price.

The unit price of flour was not high.

The average trading price was 10 copper coins per kilogram.

So the fee was zero.

Two copper coins per kilogram.

Therefore, for 100 tons of flour, the total fee was two gold coins.

The improved sleeping beds were calculated at a trading price of 50 silver coins each.

So the fee was 1 five silver coins per bed for 30 beds.

A total of 45 silver coins was paid.

Fortunately, these sleeping beds were charged at the normal price.

Su jins were of excellent quality, so the fees were relatively lower.

In contrast, those selling inferior quality goods would incur greater losses.

After obtaining the pass, Su Jeene and the others smoothly entered Wongping County.

Ruan Shuel whispered, "We only have a little over 20 silver coins left.

" Suji nodded, "Yes, I know.

I spent most of the money last time, and I haven't earned anything during this period, but it's okay.

Tanny County is nearby.

If we need money, we can go there to exchange for achievements.

" Juan Schwest said, "That's what I was thinking, too.

We can stay at the barracks in Tiani County at night.

The accommodation costs here in Wongping County are too high.

Once they passed through the city gate, there were even more people inside.

Many soldiers were maintaining order.

Ruan Schw said there are two types of auctions.

One is held by the official trading house of Wongping County.

Any goods can be auctioned, but the handling fee is not low, estimated to be around 15 to 25.

Sujene was a bit surprised.

So high? Then I might as well just pay the tax to Chonga County.

Participating in the auction shouldn't be worse than paying the tax, right? Wa laughed.

Don't worry.

If it were a loss, I would have reminded you long ago.

Several nearby legions have gone through a lot of wars and grain consumption is high.

They ve also suffered attacks from the fog and many field have been destroyed.

Right now, grain prices are an all-time high.

Bruce selling through auction can fetch even higher prices.

So, even with the high handling fee, it definitely won't be a loss.

Suji nodded while listening.

Chapter 322.

Good storage made it very clear.

However, Sujene still had a question.

Can we contact buyers privately? This way we could save a lot on fees.

Ruan Schwen nodded.

Of course, the merchants I just added are for private transactions.

But I mainly added them for purchasing, not selling.

These small merchants might not be able to handle a large quantity of grain unless we can contact larger buyers.

Selling in small amounts is not as good as going through the auction house.

Although the fees are not low, it can sell faster, saving manpower and allowing us to quickly recover funds.

And it is also safer.

Sugene said, "I understand.

What about the other type of auction house? Is it private?" Ruan Schwen nodded.

Yes.

Is held by players at privately established trading posts as well as auctions conducted by various guilds.

The auctions held by guilds also accept anything, but they are usually smaller in scale.

It's better to participate in the auction in Wongping County.

Private auctions generally do not accept basic materials like grain and wood as the profit margins are too low.

They prefer to accept higher value items such as sleeping beds and stockings.

The fees for these private auctions are lower and safety is also guaranteed.

We can auction grain at the Wongping County Trading Post while the sleeping beds and stockings can be sold at player held auctions.

Sujene agreed.

Let us do it your way.

Let us go.

Since they were carrying dozens of carts of goods, Sugene and the others could only take the outer road.

Along the way, they could see many shops in the center of Wamping County.

There were many merchants and tourists, and several streets were bustling and lively.

Juan Schwe tilted her head and looked, her eyes revealing a longing expression.

Can you accompany me to shop after we sell the goods? I haven't shopped in a long time.

Of course, no problem.

He he next time, let S invite Zhu Ting, too.

There is a hot pot restaurant that s particularly delicious.
