Before Ange and the others could figure out what was going on, the little boy who ran back had already rushed over with a bunch of people, pointing towards Ange and the others: "It's right there!"
A bunch of unarmed civilians were running towards everyone happily, obviously not here to attack, especially when they were holding money in their hands.
"I want to buy candies! Candies! Just sweet ones." The little boy who first spotted them was also the fastest runner. He held up two copper coins in his hand and shouted excitedly.
Ange almost didn't recognize what kind of coin it was. He had almost never seen currency with such a small face value. The gold coins that passed through his hands were already the smallest face value, and they were basically in boxes, which made him a little confused.
.
Anthony, who was next to him, reacted quickly. He took the copper coins from the little boy, handed him two candies, and then picked him up before he was squashed by the people coming up from behind.
"Don't be crowded, take your time, line up, and we won't sell it if it gets crowded again!" Anthony shouted loudly, and quickly pulled the black horse over to block the front.
I don’t know whether it was the dark horse that was a deterrent, or the ‘not selling it’ that was a deterrent. The excited crowd quickly became orderly and huddled in front of Anthony.
Anthony turned around quickly and whispered: "They seem to have regarded us as a mobile station. The situation is unknown. The Holy Fire of the Undead was ignited for some reason. Let's pretend to see the situation first. Lao Du, you can quietly practice some needles and kitchen knives.
Come out of the iron pot, Sir Nag, and get some salt and sugar."
Nigris said quickly: "Fetti, little zombie, you go to the front to take over and maintain order. Anthony, come back and make arrangements. Why do you need those things?"
Little Zombie and Fetty swung in front of the crowd, and the black horse crossed. Unless there was another mourning skeleton, they would not be able to break through their blockade. Anthony also took the opportunity to retreat, and looked at the neck of the rock giant with a dumbfounded look.
's brand.
"If they regard us as a mobile station, then these things are necessary for the station. Needles, which cannot be made in many places, are light in weight, and ordinary merchants will bring a large bag with them. They do not take up space but are very profitable."
"Not to mention salt and sugar. They can be used as money in many places. These are necessary for doing business. I don't know much about the inn, but it should not be much different. It's a pity that the silver coins are not there. He is more familiar with these. Everyone first
Get ready, I'll find out what's going on first." Anthony finished quickly, and then ran forward again.
"What do you want to buy? Tell me first and I'll register it so I can prepare the goods for you." Anthony found a stone and stood on it so that everyone could see him, and then shouted loudly.
"Salt salt salt."
"Sugar, sugar, I want to make Holy Fire Baba. Without sugar, if you don't come early, the Holy Fire Festival will be over."
"Yes, yes, why are you here so late? And only your family is here, and no other merchants are here. Don't you know that the location of the Holy Fire Festival has been changed?"
A bunch of people started shouting.
Anthony kept a calm expression on his face and said loudly: "Our chamber of commerce went bankrupt and everyone was recalled. I came here despite the risk of losing my job."
"... is... bankrupt? Is the Black Soil Chamber of Commerce bankrupt?" Anthony's words frightened everyone.
After a moment of silence, everyone started talking again, but no one dared to push forward anymore.
From their discussion, Anthony registered the supplies they needed and sorted out the situation. It didn't take long for him to figure out what was going on.
Retreating with a dumbfounded look on his face, Anthony said: "I know what's going on. It's the annual Festival of the Dead. It used to be held in a valley eighty kilometers away. This year, because of us, it's
Moved back."
"For our sake? What does it have to do with us?" Nigris asked in astonishment.
Anthony rolled his eyes: "What do you think, we took the Silver Priest away, no one swept the floor, no one drove them away, so they moved back."
"Pfft! That little guy who surrendered after being defeated?" Nigris spat out a mouthful of blood, it was really their fault.
Xiaogu has a strange obsession - purification, to sweep the floor clean within the temple. Nigris suspects that this is not Xiaogu's obsession, but the obsession of the silver priest, because the bone priest in the main plane
Also like this.
Moreover, this little guy was very slick. He would run away if he couldn't beat him, and he would shoot if he couldn't run. He gave his soul oath very neatly, so he was taken away.
Except for it, other skeleton zombies in the ruins of the temple do not have this obsession. Others come over to do activities and no one cares about the mess they make.
Someone discovered that the small bone was missing, and they spread the word to ten, and then to hundreds of people. Finally, several villages and towns gathered together and decided to move the Festival of the Dead back, so they moved it back here.
Unfortunately, this year's Fire Festival of the Dead happened to coincide with the bankruptcy of the Heitang Chamber of Commerce. In the outside world, the Heitang Chamber of Commerce was unknown, but within the deadline, the Heitang Chamber of Commerce was the largest people's livelihood chamber of commerce.
The so-called people's livelihood chamber of commerce refers to the kind of chamber of commerce that deals in daily necessities, which is not very profitable, but is large and indispensable. It is this type of chamber of commerce that deals with bulk commodities such as grain and cloth.
It would be better if Silver Coin laid off all the people. Those traveling merchant postmen would be transferred to individual traveling merchants on the spot, and they would probably continue to do their previous jobs.
However, Silver Coin not only did not lay off its staff, but also raised their salaries and then transferred them all away, because Silver Coin was not originally for a chamber of commerce, but for the skilled manpower in the chamber of commerce, especially the skilled manpower who had nothing to do with the outside world and had no foundation.
Silver Coin can really be said to have come from nothing. Although Ange gave him millions of magic crystals and soul crystals, he didn't give them to anyone. He recruited all the people around him.
The people he recruited had two shortcomings: they were not professional enough and they were not loyal enough. They were not at the same level as his previous subordinates.
This means that Silver Coin must cultivate these people while also being wary of them.
However, people who are obedient and professional are so hard to find. Yin Coin is interested in the Heisang Chamber of Commerce not because they want to plot against him, but because the Heisang Chamber of Commerce has prospered in a dead line. It has a shallow foundation outside, but its personnel are talented.
With a certain amount of experience, it is easier to cultivate and better to control.
These traveling merchants who have experience but no foundation are the real targets of the silver coins, so once the acquisition is successful, they will be called over with a salary increase.
With sufficient manpower, the Silver Coin Chamber of Commerce can develop faster.
But this harms the people in the dead line.
"Chambers of commerce like Black Soil are indispensable for people's livelihood. They rely on them to transport needles, threads, brains, salt, sugar, cloth, and iron. There are large commercial houses in big cities, but those villages and towns are in trouble. Many villages mainly rely on these merchants to supplement their daily necessities.
If there were no merchants, they would have to go to the big cities to buy these necessities."
"But this situation doesn't matter, because the market vacated by the Black Soil Chamber of Commerce will soon be filled by other chambers of commerce. Even some villagers who go out to purchase will buy more and sell it back to the village. If the profit is considerable, they will transfer
Those who work as traveling traders are the unlucky ones for those who attend the Holy Fire Festival."
"They didn't know that the Black Soil Chamber of Commerce went bankrupt and temporarily changed the venue of the festival this year. As a result, not a single traveling merchant came. Daily necessities such as sugar and salt that could have been purchased at the festival venue were all unavailable."
"A lot of people actually go out for big shopping for the Holy Fire Festival, because at that time, traveling merchants from all over the country come and form a big market, and the prices are much cheaper. Now it's better, and many people even collect the materials for making sacrifices.
It’s not all in order, and it’s too late to find a place to buy it because the Fire Festival is about to pass.”
After Anthony's explanation, everyone finally knew what happened. Nigris asked: "Then what is this sacred fire of the undead?"
"Oh, it was moved here during the Holy Fire Festival. It is guarded by the undead priests of the temple." At this point, Anthony lowered his voice and said: "The priests of the Holy Fire of the Undead should be the last elite of the Undead Temple. I heard that there is an undead soul.
Saint, please be careful not to expose yourself."
Nigris was shocked and quickly told him to go down.
Ange chanted the incantation gracefully, and the rock giant walked to the roadside and built himself up piece by piece to build a two-story stone house.
Ange walked in, took out various supplies from the space, and pretended to carry them out.
Anthony carried a bag of salt and a bag of sugar over, pretended to open the mouth of the bag, revealing the white salt and sugar inside, and shouted: "Here it comes, the best refined salt frosting sugar, those who want it have to line up.
Don’t push.”
After a burst of uproar, the people quickly lined up, but this so-called "queue" was actually in a fan shape, and they were all squeezed in front of Anthony.
Anthony smiled bitterly. He also knew that this was the limit of these people, so he had no choice but to start selling.
As long as there is no fighting, whether it is arranged in a fan shape or a line, it is an orderly manner. The number of people will soon be reduced. If you want to buy other things, hurry to Duroken's place and huddle together.
Half an hour passed, several bags of salt and sugar were gone, and Anthony was reluctant to accept the money.
At this moment, there was a violent sound of horse hooves, and three skeleton knights galloped over on their skeleton horses. After shaking the whip in their hands to drive the crowd away, the leader of the skeleton knights asked sternly:
"Where did you get all this salt and sugar? Could this pale salt and sugar be from the Warlock Alliance?! Are you the spies of the Warlock Alliance!?"
