Live Stream: I Am A Lord In Another World

【Anchor, potatoes are being sold too cheaply, they should go for at least 20 copper coins per pound.】

【Alright, if you’re so good, why don’t you do it yourself instead of just talking?】

【Don’t you guys realize this is the anchor’s trick?】

【Yes, after a trip, potatoes can at most fetch a dozen gold coins, but glass cups and the like sell for dozens or even hundreds of gold coins, that’s where the real profit is.】

【But won’t the prices for glass cups become saturated soon?】

【What does it matter? The anchor has already sold them, any losses will be on those merchants.】

【…】

On a new day, when Richard livestreamed a trade with a merchant, the chat room became lively.

“Lord, it’s a total of 89 gold coins, but I only have 40 gold coins, the rest are silver and copper coins. Please count them.”

In front of a caravan, the leader of the caravan took out a bag of money.

The gold coins and silver coins were separated. The bag contained only copper coins.

Richard called two people over to carry the bag in and began counting.

These merchants usually strung the copper coins together, a hundred coins per string, so counting them didn’t take long.

Soon, the money was counted.

The total was 89 gold coins for the goods, but in fact, the potatoes were only worth 19 gold coins. The remaining 60 gold coins were for glass cups, mirrors, porcelain, and so on.

When the market for these items became saturated, Richard planned to bring out some new things, like silk, to make money from the nobles.

This caravan began loading the goods.

Their carriages drove to a newly built trading building, where people inside would help them load and unload the goods.

Yes, many buildings in Richard’s new city were already ready for use.

As the carriages of this caravan began loading, the guards, coachmen, and other assistants in the caravan began to wander around some buildings on the side of the square.

In these buildings, several shops had already opened.

One shop sold some small gadgets, such as pins, hair clips, rubber bands, and small toys.

Hmm, the toys were genuine toys, the kind that would sell for one or two yuan online.

Another shop sold fabric, similar to the cotton fabric Richard bought online, though the colors were more vibrant. In another world, this type of fabric would be used to make bed sheets priced around several tens of yuan for a four-piece set.

The quality was not exceptional, and the prices were cheap, only 2 or 3 yuan per meter, or even less, because Richard had purchased a substantial amount in bulk.

“These fabrics are great.”

“Yeah, they feel so soft to the touch, and the colors are so nice.”

“They must not be cheap.”

In front of the shop selling fabric, two armed caravan guards looked at the fabrics with eyes full of desire.

“Shopkeeper, how much for this fabric?”

Finally, one guard was ready to buy.

Guarding this shop were two middle-aged women. Upon hearing their question, one of the women said: “2 silver coins per meter, no bargaining.”

【I bet this fabric doesn’t cost more than 2 yuan per meter!】

【Wow, the anchor is really ruthless, making a hundredfold profit!】

【666, anchor, please tell me how to cross over!】

【Anchor, take me with you.】

【Anchor, I can be your maid!】

In the livestream, when viewers saw Richard selling a meter of fabric for such a high price… all the viewers instantly became envious and jealous!

【This is the crushing power of productivity】

Someone exclaimed.

Indeed, in this world, an average person would consider themselves well-off if they could afford a new piece of clothing every year.

Many people wouldn’t even be able to afford a new piece of clothing for several years.

Even if someone went out to work, their monthly wage would be less than 200 copper coins, which is less than 2 silver coins, and most of it would be spent on food expenses. Saving ten copper coins a month would already be considered good.

Over the course of a year, they might not even be able to afford a meter of fabric. And thicker fabric for winter clothes would be even more expensive.

However, the two guards were somewhat pleasantly surprised to hear this price.

This price was higher than that of ordinary fabrics, but… it was also cheaper than they had imagined!

As guards of the caravan, these two were a bit wealthier than ordinary people.

After all, they lived through bloodshed every day. Typically, caravan guards could earn 300 copper coins or even more per month.

In times of battle, these caravan guards also received some combat subsidies, and they could eat with the merchants, saving a lot of expenses.

So, relatively speaking, they were considered wealthy. This difference was like the difference between someone earning a monthly salary of 1,000 and someone earning 2,000 before Richard crossed over.

Someone earning 1,000 a month could barely cover their food and transportation expenses, while someone earning 2,000 could still have some money left to buy other things.

So, after hesitating for a moment, these two caravan guards each bought two meters of fabric.

When they brought the fabric back, other guards couldn’t help but admire.

“This fabric is really good.”

“Yes, exceptionally good. Let’s also buy a few meters.”

“Good idea.”

So, the other dozen or so guards also crowded around and each bought two meters of fabric.

After seeing this, the carriage drivers of the caravan also crowded around. After envying for a while, some of them also bought one or two meters of fabric.

Making a piece of clothing typically requires a bit more than a meter of fabric.

Others also started buying other small gadgets.

So, Richard thoroughly squeezed the value out of this incoming caravan.

And from that day on, there were almost caravans arriving every day.

These caravans typically followed a similar pattern.

After the leader of the caravan bought food, they were immediately attracted by Richard’s glass cups, mirrors, and other goods, and they began to take out their gold coins to buy them.

And the guards, drivers, or other helpers in the caravan would be attracted by the town shops and would also open their wallets.

In addition, the people in Richard’s territory, after receiving their wages, began to patronize the shops Richard had opened around the square.

Richard’s new city had not yet been inhabited, but the market around the square was already bustling.

And Richard’s average daily income soared, making dozens of gold coins almost every day.

It was truly making money every day!

This kind of daily gold rush made some people in the livestream extremely envious!

After living this golden life for a few days, Richard received another batch of refugees.

Among these refugees, many strong ones were selected by Richard to join the army, and his army finally expanded to a scale of a thousand people.

In other words, Richard now commanded a legion of one thousand soldiers.

Of course, these people still needed continuous training.

After all, only the initial three hundred soldiers had experienced actual combat.
