The 1371st chapter pretends to be the Chamber of Commerce (3)
I finally got used to this smell, and everyone noticed the layout inside.
One of the herds and flag bags are in groups of three or five, and six or nine into piles form a piece of land. These herds and flag bags are fixed shops, and the open spaces between them are open-air stalls.
Although the crowds in the gathering place are not crowded, they are still flowing. In addition to the noisy noise, there are more noises and noises of hawking and calling parents.
Zhao Hu and his group paid great attention to Geralt's reminder. They did not pay attention to the women around them, but focused on the goods.
People from Muqi were interested in looking around, everything felt fresh and every stall had to leave their eyes.
The emperor was born in the emperor and he ran to watch it with great interest at first, but after looking at the goods, they all became boring.
Luo Ke and Luo Fei, who found that there was no food at the stalls around him, were the first to lose interest.
This is also impossible.
The goods here are really poor, and they sell either sheep or horses, or fur, or just daily necessities, and the most amazing ones are weapons.
The horses and weapons that the Imperial soldiers were interested in disappointment. The horses were all inferior horses, which were not as good as those who pulled carts in the brigade. The weapons were shoddy wooden poles and soft bows. As for other furs, they certainly would not be seen in their eyes.
Originally, Zhao Hu was moved by those wooden arrows, but no matter what, they were arrows, but Geralt's words "There are better ones ahead" made Zhao Hu give up the idea of buying on the spot.
The guide was also a clever person. When he saw the expressions of Zhao Hu and others, he smiled and said, "Sir, this is the area where ordinary bannermen trade items. They are all bad horses and bad skins, and there is no good product. We should take a few steps quickly. The trading area of the Banner Merchants Group is ahead."
Sun Jie immediately shouted.
"So that's the case. I thought it was just selling these things at such a big market."
Deo came up and asked enthusiastically: "Brother, I don't know what the people are in front of you? You must know that we have a high vision and generally don't like things."
The guide glanced at Zhao Hu and immediately looked at this adult who looked calm all the way and had never been attracted by anything.
"There are majestic horses and exquisite fur inside..."
At this point, the guide was stunned for a moment, because there were only two kinds of goods on the grassland, but he quickly continued, "These goods are guaranteed to be the best. You can sell a large amount of gold coins when transported out of the grassland."
Deo raised his eyebrows.
"Just these two things? We are still interested in horses, but we are not interested in furry.
"Oh, we brought thousands of kilograms of refined salt to change things, which is a pity."
"Thousands of kilograms of salt!" The guide was immediately stunned.
If the grassland needs what it most, it is salt and tea. You should know that these are necessities of life. Without these, people will be ruined!
"What you brought is salt! That's great. Our Muqian is in need of salt. I'll let someone inform you."
Then, he immediately called a cavalry inspecting the market and muttered a few words. The cavalry immediately rode his horse towards the center of the gathering place.
After finishing all these things, the guide immediately greeted him enthusiastically.
Soon, Zhao Hu and his group left the messy trading area and entered the trading area of the merchant group.
There are fewer people here, but the space occupied is several times larger. From time to time, there are heavy-duty convoys with long journeys and sealed cars driving into this trading area under the escort of a group of fierce cavalry. At the same time, hundreds of horses and vehicles loaded with fur, leaving in a constant stream.
The guide pointed at the convoys and said proudly, "Our crystal flag is the largest herdsman flag on the grassland in this area. It has countless horses and horses. If you don't want the business groups from other countries, even other herdsman flags on the grassland will come to us to trade horses."
"That's right, if we didn't know that the Crystal Flag ranch was the largest here, we wouldn't have come all the way." Dio responded quickly.
Geralt looked at the horses passing by and said to Zhao Hu, "Sir, these are all trained war horses, and you can fight with a saddle."
Zhao Hu and the others have already discussed the title, otherwise they would be suspicious if they called him the chief.
The sharp-eared guide actually heard this and immediately interrupted, "Hey, I believe you also know that in addition to raising horses, the most powerful thing about our crystal flag is to train horses.
"The horses on the entire ranch, except for the underage young horses, are all trained war horses. Just like this adult, they can go to the battlefield with saddles and horse nails."
"How about these horses?"
Sun Jie asked Lao Dao beside him. Before Lao Dao could make a sound, several people from the cavalry squadrons around him were already swallowing their saliva.
"What else can it be? They are all good horses, better than most of our horses!"
Sun Jie turned his head and saw it immediately shocked, because all these guys looked at the horses passing by with red eyes.
While chatting, everyone came to a big mute flag bag with hundreds of strong men guarding and stopped not far away. The guide asked them to dismount on the spot and wait, and he walked forward to prepare for reporting.
Just then, several people walked out of it. A middle-aged and strong man like a master spoke to a middle-aged businessman with two guards. His voice was so loud that Zhao Hu could hear it clearly.
"Haha, don't worry, we don't have other things here, but there are countless war horses. As long as you transport the things we need continuously, you can pull our war horses away continuously."
The merchant said something, and the strong man slapped the merchant on the shoulder and smiled, "Don't worry, you will never be in danger on this prairie. There are orders on it. No one dares to touch you in the entire prairie. Even those damn horse thieves will pretend that they didn't see you...
"But you have to be careful not to be discovered by your Imperial Intelligence Department, then we cannot guarantee your safety."
When Zhao Hu and others were shocked when they heard this.
Except for the August Empire, no country near the prairie has the title of "imperial" or "Information Department". The merchant also turned his head nervously and looked around. When he saw Zhao Hu and others, his face immediately changed.
Seeing this scene, Geralt immediately whispered: "Hurry, everyone is pretending to be arrogant."
Although Sun Jie and other emperors didn't know what was going on, they all looked at people with their eyes slanted.
They looked down on these nomadic civilizations, especially when they saw the goods traded by the nomadic peoples, so they looked so arrogant.
As for Zhao Hu, although he did not pretend to be arrogant, his indifferent look was enough to show that he did not take the situation around him seriously.
The servants did not obey the order because it was not Zhao Hu's order. They were now looking down and looked at them. After entering this trading area of the business group, they became restrained automatically.
The merchant saw Zhao Hu and others' expressions and then saw the hundreds of servants, and the vigilant expression in his eyes relaxed slightly, but he still muttered to the strong man.
The strong man glanced at Zhao Hu and others with his head, took a few steps forward, and the guide took the opportunity to introduce to each other, "Mr. Jingxiong, they are Jiuding Merchants Group."
"Sir, this is the younger brother of the owner of the Maid Banner. Lord Jingxiong Wanfu."
After the captain Wanfu bowed to Zhao Hu and the others, he shouted, "Crystal Flag welcomes you. I wonder where the guests came from?"
Geralt whispered to Zhao Hu, "We are from the Free Alliance."
Zhao Hu knew that the boss would greet him, so he would not be able to go without showing up. He took a step forward and learned from Jingxiong's ten thousand men to salute him.
"We come from the Free Alliance, I am Zhao Hu."
A look of surprise immediately appeared on the face of the head of Jingxiong Wanfu, and then returned to his normal expression.
"It's rare. Lord Zhao Hu is actually a business group from the Free Alliance. Our Jingziqin has not met guests from the Free Alliance for many years.
"By the way, have you heard of the West Merchant Group in Port Mante?"
Zhao Hu hesitated. He didn't know whether this business group was famous or not. He had heard of it. Maybe there was no such business group at all. He had never heard of it. Maybe this business group was famous. At this moment, Deo walked out openly.
"I'm sorry, Lord Wanfu, we have never heard of your business group, but if you have any verbal messages that we need to pass on, we will be happy to serve you."
The businessman suddenly gave a tribute without a smile.
"Sorry, I'm from the Weiss Merchant Group, but I haven't heard of your Jiuding Merchant Group. Which province are you registered in?"
Zhao Hu and others immediately understood what was going on. If they hadn't heard the words of the ten thousand men just now, "Your Empire Intelligence Department" they were like these fakes, and Deo immediately saluted with apologetic look.
"Ah, I'm really sorry just now, but I really didn't expect to meet my compatriots on this vast grassland. It's such a coincidence.
"We are from Kuoqiao Port, and there are so many registered merchant groups there. It's not surprising that you haven't heard of merchant groups like us... The last time we passed Mante Port, the port was expanding. I wonder if the expansion has been successful now? The dad who manages the port supplies is still healthy, right?"
The businessman who was originally smiling flashed a hint of panic in his eyes and sighed, "We have been out for more than half a year, and we don't know what the hometown has become. The port should be still being expanded, right? After all, a large project is not so easy to complete.
