The Origin of Arcane

Chapter 69: Trade route

The most hateful thing is that if you don’t go deep enough, they just stare at you in the dark, and when they go deep enough, they will come out. The deepest one of the people who came back alive just left. A day and a half, but seven or eighty kilometers, no one knows what is going on.

   More in-depth, no one has come back alive, including those carefully selected ghost slaves, also only see in, but not out.

They were bold and reckless. They entered the mountain under the banner of doing business, but at most they had walked seventy or eighty kilometers along the ancient river of Jacob. They were stopped by a villager. They did not embarrass them. Just tell them that they want to do business, just do it here, and go inside, a dead end.

The village is very strange in appearance. It is well-placed on the ground. Like the castles of the lord and nobles, it was built halfway up the mountain. It already has the prototype of the castle. The whole is a masonry structure, layered on top of each other. Three-dimensional.

It’s incredibly tidy. The goods here are quite complete. In addition to the regular leather goods and herbs of the Andes mountain people, they also found a lot of honey. When asked, the price is incredible. One hundred pounds of salt is exchanged for one. A pound of honey is so cheap that it can't be cheaper.

Although   Man Yu military leader is deep inland, there is the largest salt lake in the whole continent. Although it is also a controlled commodity, it is a little bit powerful and it is not a problem to buy in large quantities.

   Honey is different. It is an absolute luxury. In Asia Minor, where the beekeeping industry is relatively developed, it is exclusively provided by the noble lords, not to mention that most of the territory belongs to the semi-Gobi-oriented Manyu army.

This thing can only be transported thousands of miles from other places. It is not common even at the table of the nobles of the lord, let alone ordinary families. There are only those greedy children, with the risk of being full of bags, from the wild beehive. Get a little bit out of greedy.

  With this new world, those profit-only businessmen have long forgotten other things and become industrious porters, trading carts of salt and food for carts of honey.

   The huge profits from the sales are enough to make these businessmen wake up in their dreams. Although the big part of them does not belong to them, even the remaining small part is enough for them to live a small luxury life.

   As for the prohibition, what's the joke, if there is no support from the nobles of the lord, how can the caravan organized by the flat-headed people in such a chaotic situation, peacefully carry a large amount of goods through the market?

   How could it be possible to pass the military supplies such as salt and grain over the army of the Bastille and sway into the Andes Mountains?

   There is no doubt that Duke Borg not only knows, he is also the biggest participant.

Judging from the current situation of the army leader in Manyu, it is impossible to restart the slave trade line in a short time. However, after repeated battles, the Faerun family's finances are tight and the deficit is serious. New financial sources must be explored. Suddenly in the Andes Mountains The huge amount of honey that came out made the finance ministers of the Duke's Palace a bright spot.

  In this material-scarce world, any dessert is a luxury, a scarce resource, a hard currency that is not inferior to gold and silver, and is in short supply.

   They can be used not only for their own use, but also as foreign trade goods, which can be transported to other territories and sold at high prices.

As all experienced businessmen know, these years, the fastest buying and selling of money is by no means deducting the three melons and two dates from the untouchables. After layers of exploitation, they have basically no surplus value. The wealth belongs to the nobles and nobles. The private treasure house is moldy and rotten. Most of the time, there is nowhere to spend it. The fastest way to make their money is.

   There is another point. High-purity honey is easier to store. It can be stored for several years as long as it is put in a sealed wooden barrel. In addition, it is high in value and small in size, making it suitable for commercial products.

   Once such a thing is opened, it is like a flooded dyke, and it can't be stopped even if you want to plug it.

In any era, the most courageous group of people are not heroes and warriors, but businessmen, especially businessmen who face the temptation of sufficient interest. They dare to walk hundreds of miles or even higher alone with a lot of wealth. Thousands of miles, to earn the meager price difference, if the benefit is large enough, even if the crime of decapitation, they can ignore it.

Chebman is one of the best. Ever since he embarked on the road of business with eight Byron silver coins collected from the East, he knew that this is a game for the brave, only if others dare not do it. Only by doing things, can I earn my own wealth.

He has done everything from selling needles and threads to running business with large caravans, but it has always been a small business. There is a profit and loss, and it is not alive. However, he did not give up hope. He firmly believes that it is not that he does not work hard, but I haven't encountered the luck that belongs to me.

   Then half a year ago, the opportunity came and he seized it.

   Yes, he was the first spy who entered the Andes Mountains under the banner of doing business.

   But Chebman’s entry into the mountains back then wasn’t something people praised now. He had an outstanding businessman vision that ordinary people didn’t have. If they were so fascinating as they boasted, would he still be so upset with his front body?

It was purely at that time that my own business was affected by the war, and it plummeted, and I owed a debt. Those creditors who came to the door for three days to engage in troubles really couldn't get along in the collar. It happened at this time that Bastille was caught by the Andes mountain people. When news of the fall came, Duke Faerun was angry and sent a large army to attack.

He found a relationship and got into the servant army, and wanted to take the opportunity to make a fortune, but he was still in bad luck. A large fire burned all the hopes of people with the same purpose as him. Of course, compared to those buried in the flames. People, he is relatively lucky.

   Then the great turmoil of the entire Manyu army began. At this time, he wisely chose to stay in the reconstructed Bastille.

   I have a few catties and a few taels, Chebman is very good, really on the battlefield, only my own small arms and legs, at best, is the life of cannon fodder, the reconstruction of the Bastille looks very dangerous, there will be no big battle in a short time.

   This can be seen from the fact that the opponent took the initiative to withdraw to the depths of the mountain. The opponent did not intend to provoke the Manyu army to lead the army, at least not now.

Then his life turned around, but this turnaround was not something he actively fought for, but was forced. The Lord Baron Patlem, who was stationed at the Bastille, might have a whim in his dream during his nap and came up with a chance. The spy dresses up as a businessman and enters the mountains to investigate. As a small businessman with many years of business experience, facing such a life is a true performance!

In this way, Chebman was sold by his captain, and he walked into the mountain with a few poor commodities, and then bumped into the village in a daze. Then he found the mountain flower honey in the village, and then he slumped back. When he arrived at the Bastille, he dedicated it to Lord Baron Patlem, and then he was promoted in a daze and became a quartermaster of the Bastille defender.

He, a quartermaster, does not care about military equipment and other things, but is responsible for dealing with the Andis mountain people in the mountains. There are more than one hundred people under his command, including his former captain. Among them, Shanhua Honey is him. The focus of purchasing.

   While thinking about it, Chebman’s destination this time has arrived-the grocery store.

   Yes, this shop has no name, so it’s called a grocery store, and you will never admit it. This is the whole village, but Chebman usually refers to it as the bridgehead grocery store. The bridgehead is the name of the village.

   He always thought that the name was weird, there was neither a river nor a bridge, what kind of bridgehead it was called!

   For this question, the owner of the Qiaotou Grocery Store always smiles without saying a word.

   Speaking of the owner of this bridgehead grocery store, Chebman knew very well in his heart that he was not at all confused about the silly experience that he could not explain half a year ago, especially when he saw the young boss for the first time.

  From beginning to end, it was not that I found the bridgehead and this grocery store by myself, but people led me all the way, in order to deliver the big killer of Shanhua Honey to the hands of a worthy person through my own hands.

  As one of the benefit-winners, even if Chebman understood it, he had to pretend to be confused. As more and more people are involved, the scale of the business is getting bigger and bigger. This kind of confusion will only be used forever.

The young grocery store owner greeted him with a big smile, "Mr. Chebman, you are finally here. This time you are two days later than before. If you are one or two days late, I will deliver the goods to others. ."

Chebman restrained his mind, UU read www.uukanshu.com carefully accompanied with a smile and said: "I also ask Boss Ralf to forgive me. It is not that I intend to delay, but the road is not peaceful. I met a group of little thieves, which was delayed for two days. , I can’t come to the door empty-handed, forgive me, forgive me, the next is not an example, the next is not an example."

   "Okay, I also know your difficulties, these years, no one has a good life, let's talk inside."

   "You first please, you first please."

   "With me, you are welcome. I am the lord and you are the guest. There is no reason to let the lord be the guest. Please please first."

   "It is better to be respectful than fate."

   "Let's get straight to the point, the price is still the old price, but one thing I have to remind Mr. Chebman, at most two trips, this business will have to stop."

   "Stop it? Why? Didn't we do it well? How can I stop it?" Chebman jumped up before his **** was on the stool.

  What a joke, this is a big deal of tens of thousands of silver silver coins per order. If it stops suddenly, not only is it painful and scratching, but the baron who is already addicted to money will not spare him lightly.

"Don't worry, I haven't finished speaking yet!" Ralph, who became the owner of the Qiaotou grocery store after a change, showed a signature smile, "It's not that we want to stop, but God does not allow it. The reincarnation of the four seasons is about to enter. It's cold and the flowers are gone. Where can I get you so much honey?"

   "That's what I said! That's what I said! I think it's bad, I think it's bad. The honey business is seasonal and cannot be controlled by manpower."

   Chebman wiped the sweat that came out of his forehead, still sitting and lying down, his expression a little ugly.

   "This seasonal product is not only honey, herbs and animal skins, but also a significant reduction in production in winter! Can't our trading stop for half a year?"
