The other is that they simply don’t have such a big brain capacity and won’t think so much.
Just like in the past, these tribes of Odin orcs who came to trade were a mixed bag, and a large part of them had dual purposes.
If the target of the transaction is too weak, they don't mind turning into horse bandits and making a business without capital. Anyway, these border smugglers are like leeks. Once a crop is cut, a new crop will pop up within a few days.
, although they don’t know that this is caused by being driven by huge profits, at least the other party has been doing this all the time, and they are not worried about no new deals at all.
If the trading partner is powerful, they will trade honestly to obtain the daily necessities they need.
There are also horse bandit tribes that do not carry any supplies and are ready to engage in business without capital from the beginning. They do not care about robbing border smugglers from the Byron Alliance or other Odin orc tribes.
But when I arrived at the transaction location, I found that there were soldiers from the Broken Mouth Blood Fort, guarding them both inside and outside, and I couldn't help but tremble in my heart.
Most of these tribes have lived on the border for many years and have been dealing with the Bloody Broken Mouth Castle for many years. In recent decades, it is not they who have harmed the Byron Alliance, but the Bloody Broken Mouth Castle that has harmed them in turn.
As soon as they feel that some tribes on the Odin Prairie are too powerful, the iron hooves of Broken Mouth Blood Castle will rush in and sort out the tribes here. They will cut down what should be chopped off and slaughter what should be slaughtered without mercy.
Over the years, in order to protect themselves, the small and medium-sized tribes of Odin orcs around the Broken Mouth Blood Castle have paid a certain number of cattle and sheep to the Broken Mouth Blood Castle as protection fees instead of submitting supplies to the East and West Odin Empire. They do not ask them to protect themselves.
I just ask them not to harm me.
The county magistrate is not as good as taking charge now.
The two royal courts of the Eastern and Western Odin Empire are too far away from them. Even if they don't pay taxes, they may not know about it. Even if they know, they probably don't have the energy to pay attention. They can't come all the way to conquer them!
On the contrary, every decision of the Broken Mouth Blood Castle is closely related to them. Sometimes it directly determines the life and death of their entire tribe, so they have to be careful to please.
Even the upright and rigid Archduke Cedric would turn a blind eye to this semi-naturalized Odin orc tribe, as long as they did not grow enough to threaten the Broken Mouth Blood Castle.
After all, the Odin orcs can't stop killing them all. As long as the fertile land and grasslands are there, other tribes will be attracted to migrate over. Instead of a group of undisciplined tribesmen, it is better to keep a group of people who are afraid of being slaughtered by themselves.
The tribe occupied a place there and raised sheep and horses for themselves.
The relationship between the two major forces is not so absolute. They have to fight each other to the death as soon as they meet. After all, this situation is in the minority. Most of them are you who have me, and I have you.
Only when the interests of both parties are irreconcilable will they fight.
On the Broken Kou Grassland, which is the fiefdom of the Strachey family, there are many Odin orc tribes who could no longer hang out on the Odin Prairie. They completely turned to the Broken Mouth Blood Castle and came here to herd sheep and horses for them and live in peace.
Submissive people.
There are also some Byron people who have been exiled to the Odin Steppes to open up wasteland and cultivate land for the Odin Orcs, of which the Miracle Peninsula is the most important.
After the Theodin Empire captured the Miracle Peninsula, they did not slaughter all the Byrons here, but left some people to reclaim wasteland and cultivate land for them.
After hundreds of years of domestication and integration, the descendants of these people can no longer be called Byrons. After all, they were born and grew up under the rule of the Odin orcs, and many things have been assimilated by them. The rule of the Commons family
It has become a distant past, but few people still think about their rule in their hearts.
After all, the rule of the Commons family is harsher than that of the Theodin Empire.
After all, the Royal Court of Theodin Empire is in a semi-nomadic state. They only stay here for the winter and spend most of their time in the Odin Prairie. As long as they pay taxes on time and provide the food they need to spend the winter here, it will be easy.
Few people would tax them violently.
Soon these Odin orc tribes who came after hearing the news discovered that as long as they followed the trading system honestly, these soldiers of the Broken Mouth Blood Castle would not only not harm them, but would actually be their protectors.
For those horse bandit tribes who simply wanted to fight against the autumn wind, the soldiers of Duankou Blood Fort were not polite and immediately used thunderous means to suppress them.
These soldiers of Broken Blood Castle who live at the bottom know better than Archduke Cedric how rich the border trade is. After all, some border smuggling activities are carried out while they turn a blind eye, and there are contents belonging to them.
part of their benefits.
People always need to eat, and the supply of supplies from the Byron Alliance is tight, so they can only find ways to support their families.
Now that Archduke Cedric has decided to open the border to mutual trade, he has naturally received their strong support. They can handle many things properly without any instructions from above.
The large amount of free aid materials delivered by the Valesta Chamber of Commerce has won the unanimous favor of everyone in the Broken Blood Castle. They are their own gods of wealth and are here to make money for themselves, so of course they must protect them.
A series of reasons lead to the result.
Border trade has been booming from the beginning.
How hot is it?
It was so popular that the goods originally provided by the Valesta Chamber of Commerce to the Broken Blood Castle for free were temporarily loaned out and sold as merchandise. Even so, they only lasted less than a month before they were out of stock.
Many Odin orcs who come to trade have no idea what bargaining is.
Two kilograms of salt, leave a sheep behind, take it and leave.
An iron pot, a cow thrown away, picked up and left.
A pack of needles, drop a lamb, take it.
Take away an iron sword and a three-year-old fine war horse.
This price was basically the previous smuggling price. The psychological price prepared by the merchants of the Valesta Chamber of Commerce at the beginning was not only a chip or two higher, but several times higher.
No one would kindly remind the Odin orcs, but they would make a lot of money with peace of mind. Even if most of their heads were eaten by the Broken Mouth Blood Castle, they would still make some money.
Ten thousand carts of goods were exchanged for all kinds of furs to refill these carts, and there were also cloud-like herds of livestock, the number of which was definitely no less than three million.
Those livestock herds that are too young and not fat enough will be directly handed over to the Duankou Blood Fort for disposal, and will be raised by their affiliated tribes on the Duankou Grassland. Those that are too old or disabled and unable to travel far will be slaughtered on the spot.
Rewarded the soldiers of Broken Mouth Blood Fort.
Only those animals that are fat, strong, healthy, and of high value will be transported thousands of miles to the Byron Alliance.
In a big city like the royal capital of Valesta, a sheep on the border that is only worth two kilograms of salt cannot be exchanged for a hundred kilograms. The value is not multiplied several times, but dozens of times. Among them
The huge profits hidden there are enough to make countless people jealous.
Under such circumstances, how could the merchants of the Valesta Chamber of Commerce still engage in business in other directions?
Of course, all manpower and material resources should be mobilized to focus on this direction.
The furs and livestock transported by the Valesta Chamber of Commerce were all abandoned before they even made it halfway to the royal capital of Valesta.
If you let go of one, replenish the goods nearby, immediately change direction, and return to the border, where there are countless Odin orc tribes who have heard the news and come eagerly waiting for their goods!
Their current way of pursuing profit maximization is not to raise prices in the long term, but to quickly move in and out at low prices. Compared with the former, profits are still several times higher.
After all, one trip to Valesta was enough for them to make three or four trips to the nearest location.
The merchants of the Valesta Chamber of Commerce are like a group of diligent ants, moving the goods of the Byron Alliance to the hands of the Odin Orcs, and then moving the goods of the Odin Orcs to the hands of the Byron people in need.
Get a huge price difference in the middle.
The matter of hiring retired soldiers from the Broken Blood Fort as mercenaries was an instant hit.
On the one hand, one is thirsty for talents but has no connections.
The other party has no livelihood and is forced by life.
This is simply a match made in heaven. The border trade is booming, which makes them have no time to relax. After negotiating the terms, they will be on their way.
The Valesta Chamber of Commerce is not worried about the loyalty of these soldiers at all. There is the Broken Mouth Blood Castle as a guarantee. Once something goes wrong, the Chamber of Commerce does not need to send out a punishment team. The Broken Mouth Blood Castle will send people to chase them to the ends of the earth.
Just in case, when merchants from the Valesta Chamber of Commerce select retired soldiers, they give priority to those who have families at the border or have a good reputation, and then try to mix in some retired soldiers with problems, even if they
Something is really wrong, and there are those retired soldiers who want to support their families!
Employment files and employment records are established immediately. As this information becomes more and more comprehensive, the employment industry will move towards formalization, and by then there will naturally be a cloud of followers.
Now we have a good start.
The goods originally flowed into the Odin Prairie by the Eternal Night Army through the northern fortress line flowed down the Jakob River, to the royal capital of Valesta, and then transferred to the border.
The tea leaves, condiments and some mountain delicacies they hold are very marketable in the Odin Prairie, and the prices are usually not low.
As for whether these goods will have the opportunity to be transported to the Odin Prairie, it is still unknown. After all, the Byron Alliance also has a demand for the goods of the Eternal Night Army.
By the time Archduke Cedric wandered around outside for a long time and returned to the Broken Blood Castle, the merchants of the Valesta Chamber of Commerce had made two or three round trips for long-distance trips, and more than eight or nine short-distance trips.
He was dumbfounded by the profit that was given to Broken Kou Blood Castle. It was two or three times greater than what he had achieved after half a year of begging for alms.
The soldiers of the Broken Mouth Blood Fort were all fat and strong after eating.
There is no way, there are too many animals traded from the Odin orcs, so the chance of problems is naturally greater, and they all get an advantage.
After Archduke Cedric returned to the Blood Castle, he was dragged and slapped wildly by the generals who were not good at flattery. It was so disgusting that his face almost turned red.
Obviously they took all of this as Archduke Cedric's credit.
Now they not only have a lot of wealth in their accounts, but they have also thrown away the big burden of retired soldiers and found a new way out for them. In their memories, they have never been as well-off as they are now.
It has only been less than half a year, and everything is just in its infancy.
Affected by the turbulent state of the Odin Prairie, a large number of small and medium-sized Odin orc tribes flocked to the Broken Mountains in order to survive and avoid the army of the Odin Empire.
Their presence has escalated the popularity of border trade.
If this continues, it is not impossible for the Broken Mouth Blood Castle to get rid of its dependence on other grand duke families of the Byron Alliance, and it will naturally have more say in time.
Archduke Cedric finally understood why in the last few days of his stay in the Eternal Night Army, Sean began to crazily sell various military supplies for their Eternal Night Army, especially the Andis longbow and black powder.
The former is a weapon for defending the city, which greatly enhances the long-range firepower of the Blood Castle.
The latter is a strategic weapon with the magical power to make the impossible possible.
It all made Grand Duke Cedric salivate, and he signed a purchase and sale agreement worth tens of millions in a daze. On the way back, he was still worried about what to pay the leader of the Evernight Army!
I didn’t expect that my finances were already so strong that paying this amount was not a problem.
It seems that the young lord of the Yongye Army made his plans right from the beginning and went around in a circle, and a large amount of wealth still flowed into the hands of the Yongye Army Leader.
During the whole process, no one seemed to suffer, and everyone got what they needed.
The Odin orc tribe received the living supplies they were short of.
The Byron League obtained a large number of relatively scarce livestock.
Broken Mouth Blood Fort received a large amount of military expenditures and military supplies.
Valesta merchants and retired soldiers who became mercenaries received their share of the wealth.
The leader of the Yongye Army successfully sold off the large amount of arms he had accumulated in exchange for a large amount of liquidity.
This is the magic of business. Although the whole process does not create value, it can satisfy everyone and make everyone feel that they have made money.
Having tasted the sweetness, Archduke Cedric will naturally pay more attention to this matter to ensure that this transaction can continue in the long term.
As the saying goes, money moves people's hearts.
There are huge interests in it, and other lords and nobles of the Byron Alliance are also interested in it, wanting to get involved.
At this time, the great concession made by the Valesta Chamber of Commerce in the initial negotiation with Archduke Cedric was reflected, and the majority was held in the hands of the Broken Mouth Blood Castle.
If others want to enter, they must at least be on an equal footing with the Valesta Chamber of Commerce. Otherwise, there is no need for them to take action at all. The Broken Mouth Blood Castle will naturally stop them.
Now it is not that Archduke Cedric begged his grandfather and grandma to beg them for help, but now they are begging the Broken Mouth Blood Castle to show their favor and share a piece of the pie with them.
Archduke Cedric's attitude is as tough as ever. Want to enter the market to make money?
Yes, as long as you and the Valesta Chamber of Commerce are at the same level, and by the way, all the materials that should be supported for the Broken Blood Castle will be replenished.
Otherwise, why should we allow you to freely come and go in our territory to seek benefits?
