Chapter 425 [There is a big business to do](1/2)
Martial law has been imposed in the town.
The town that makes the bustling day and the street that is crowded with people and traffic seems to have become a ghost street at this moment.
Occasionally, patrol cavalry with well-dressed Northwest Independent Division can be seen passing by on the streets, and the patrol cavalry's eyes were full of vigilance and sternness.
Almost all shops on both sides of the street closed their doors and closed.
In the years when he was originally backed by the Northwest Fortress and Sylvester, he colluded with chambers of commerce groups of all sizes in the empire to carry out cross-border smuggling business. The abnormal prosperity brought to this town seemed to be wiped out in the war a few days ago!
At this time, there were more than 20 caravans left in the town, affiliated with different large and small chambers of commerce groups, or some wealthy nobles secretly controlled remotely.
These caravans are undoubtedly unlucky.
A few days ago, an incident occurred in the Northwest Independent Division. General Sylvester, who was in charge here, suddenly turned to the new emperor in the imperial capital. It was already very unlucky to encounter such a thing-every businessman would not want to get involved with such things.
Then the Northwest Independent Division announced the temporary closure of the Northwest Fortress and no longer allowed caravans to enter and exit the border.
This made many caravans who came here to do business panic.
After waiting for a few days, more and more news came outside, such as the army of the Empire's Thunder Whip had rushed to the Nulin Province and blocked the border to the Tulip House.
The new emperor of the imperial capital, Hilo, clearly wanted to stop the Tulips from quelling the rebellion.
But the problem is that whether it is Emperor Hilo or the Tulip Family, they are all far away. The real problem in front of everyone is: The Northwest Fortress has been closed, but what should I do if I take the caravans who have taken the brigade of goods to go out to trade with the orcs?
Just after several chambers of commerce with strong backers discussed with each other, they were about to send people to the commander's mansion in the fortress castle to ask for the Lord Sylvester to discuss and see if they could walk around.
News suddenly came out of the Independent Master, saying that it was an orc invasion!
The army that said there were orcs had gathered in the north of the border and was posing as an attack on the Northwest Fortress. And I heard that the Northwest Independent Division had sent troops to fight the orcs for two fierce battles!
This news immediately caused an uproar among everyone!
Orc invasion?!
If the two countries go to war, wouldn’t it completely cut off everyone’s financial path?
In peacetime, it would be fine to quietly traffic some prohibited items to orcs, and even if you have some money, your backer can still hold on.
But once in the war era, if you dare to sell supplies to orcs, you will be charged with collusion with the enemy. It will end up being scouted and destroyed!
The anxious leaders of the chamber of commerce immediately showed their magical powers and began to find ways to inquire about the news.
After all, many chambers of commerce have been in and out of the Northwest fortress over the years, and there are always some of their own ways.
But at this time, the Northwest Independent Division announced martial law! The Daying and the Northwest Fortress were completely closed, and no idle people were allowed to enter and exit!
This made the leaders of the chamber of commerce with gold notes in their arms unable to stare at the closed camp gate and worry.
But in the next two days, some people below came back to report that they had seen the Northwest Fortress and the camp of the Independent Division, and opened the door at night. There were troops guarding them from afar and no one was allowed to enter and exit.
I don't know what I'm doing.
But there were sharp-eyed people who said they had seen it. Under the gate of the northwest fortress, there were troops transporting bodies out!
The bodies were transported out of the fortress one by one, and they were all officers and soldiers of the Northwest Independent Division.
There are at least several hundred people!
This confirmed the news that the orc invasion and the war with the Northwest Independent Division and the orcs had begun! Didn’t you see that the Independent Division had already suffered hundreds of casualties?
Everyone gave up this time.
Many caravans simply left the town and took away a large number of various supplies and goods they carried with them with their own chariots and horses.
Some of these teams plan to try their luck in Mulan City, the capital of Nulin Province, while others plan to take a detour to the Tulips' house to try to see if they can resell the goods to the northwest grassland.
Everyone travels thousands of miles to do business on the border, so you can’t pay all the money!
And at this time, something strange happened.
A group of strange people in white clothes ran to the south of the town and intercepted the caravans on the main road.
These people claim to be believers of the "Wu Shuang Martial Saint Sect".
Of course, this doesn't matter.
What’s important is that these guys actually came to receive the goods!
It is said that there is a large settlement in the city of Rova, the city of Nurin Province, where more than 10,000 of their believers have gathered to reclaim wasteland and build a city.
Tens of thousands of people eat, drink, defecate and vent, and the daily expenses are not small, and various daily necessities are in large demand.
These believers of the "Wu Shuang Martial Saint Sect" ran to the main road to intercept those who left the caravan and offered various transaction conditions on the spot.
What made the caravans helpless was...the lists and quotes of various supplies they offered by these strange white cultists... were simply cutting their own flesh with knives!!
But the problem is that the border transactions have been blocked. The mountains of goods brought by everyone cannot be taken back to the warehouse, right?
Not to mention whether the warehouse can be piled up or how much money it has to occupy... Even if it is a freight fee of thousands of miles, it is enough to make ordinary small merchants lose everything directly!
Although everyone is preparing to try their luck in the Nurin Province and Tulips Territory.
But who doesn’t know that the Nulin Province has been very abandoned over the years. Mulan City has been very depressed and its market capacity is limited. So many things that were originally planned to be "exported" were piled up in the small Mulan City to "transfer domestic sales", but I’m afraid it will directly destroy the market!
At that time, if there is vicious competition, everyone will fight to reduce the price and dump, and then they will have to end up dying together.
As for the Tulip family... anyone with a discerning eye knows that even the Thunder Whip has been opened to the border. If it starts, it will be a civil war!
At this time, it is too risky to go to the Tulips territory!
Instead of saying this, it would be better to sell it to these people who claim to be the "Wu Shuang Martial Saint Sect" halfway.
At least you can get back three or two dates, so you won’t lose all your money. Just treat it as a big sale with tears, give it some blood and stop the loss!
So, on the main road leading to the south, an intersection about a hundred miles away from the town suddenly turned into a lively temporary market.
A large number of believers of the "Wu Shuang Martial Saint Sect" wearing strange white robes set up sheds here and prepared a large number of chariots and horses.
There are long rows of long tables under the shed.
From the morning, teams of caravan transportation teams were attracted here. The leader of the caravan was invited to the shed, and naturally there was a leader of the Wushuang Martial Saint Sect to be responsible for reception. Then, under the shed, everyone came up with a list, and the suppliers and demanders discussed the price with each other.
Some caravans even tried to resist and tried to bargain.
But what made them helpless was that these people from the Unparalleled Martial Saint Sect were sharpening their knives and rushing toward cattle and sheep! One bargaining is more ruthless than the other! People staring at their caravans were like looking at the cattle and sheep waiting to be slaughtered!
And they said, do you like to sell or not! We will offer this price! If you don’t sell, some people are rushing to sell!
People who do business will not fight, and as long as they can recover some losses, they will not care about anything else at this time.
I knew the other party was taking the opportunity to get a bargain, but who made me unlucky? Now dozens of caravans are transporting goods back... and the other party has the only one to get ready-made buyers!
If the initiative is in the hands of others, then you can kill whatever you want?
Awesome? Don’t sell it! Deliver it home to store the warehouse! Deliver it to Mulan City to see if it can be sold! Deliver it to Tulips’ house... If you are not afraid of war.
It's pitiful!!
A large roll of thick linen fabric, in the imperial capital, would cost 200 copper plates per piece! I would sell two pieces if I cry 160 times here! Not only did I pay for the shipping fee that traveled thousands of miles, I also had to nod and thank them for taking care of the business.
Well-burned brick tea. In the imperial capital, twenty copper plates are needed! When transported to the orcs, ten brick tea can be exchanged for a low-level monster magic core!
But these people from the Unparalleled Martial Saint Sect offer... fifty copper plates... one box!!
Such a transaction was held here for three days.
When these caravans sold their goods and left, many caravan leaders even felt that they were not much different from being robbed.
...
The more than 20 caravans left in the town did not choose to leave - of course they also heard that there was a group of strangers who came from and received goods halfway.
However, most of these caravans left in the town are backstage forces.
But they made another abacus in their minds.
Even if the large amount of goods he brought was unable to be transported out of the country... Then, it seems that the Northwest Independent Division is going to rebel against the Tulips... the army has been transferred to the border, and it seems that this battle is inevitable.
So... can we sell these things to the army as military supplies on the spot?
It’s not these businessmen who are whimsical and bold.
After all, they dare to come to this border to do smuggling business... there are big backstages and big financial owners behind them!
Other chambers of commerce dare not think about making money in war, but these people are definitely qualified to do so!
But they encountered something even more unlucky...
Du Weiwei actually suppressed the rebellion so easily!!
God knows what the two Thunder Whip divisions placed on the border do for food!
God knows what the awesome Sylvester is doing for!
The young girls' Duke of Tulip, with three thousand cavalry, rushed all the way to the Northwest Fortress!
Then the young duchess rushed into the Northwest Independent Division camp alone, and recovered the big camp in more than an hour! Then, she led a large number of soldiers who turned against each other to attack the Northwest Fortress...
This time it took faster! In half an hour, the Thorn Flower Emperor Flag originally hung on the Northwest Fortress was cut down and thrown directly on the ground and people were trampled to play with it!
Instead, it was the familiar tulip family flag.
I heard that the duke had cut Sylvester into a useless man in front of the Northwest Fortress Commander's Mansion! I heard that the former general of the Northwest Independent Division had both hands and feet cut off. Then the duke sent someone to rescue him, heal him and bandage him, and sent a carriage to Mulan City, the capital of Nulin Province!
To be continued...
