Chapter 222, Caravan
Even during the day, there are still loud noises in the bar.
More than a dozen Vajra Armored Heroes were patrolling back and forth on the street. If someone dared to cause trouble here, the wooden pole erected behind the gate would be their destination for the day.
At this time, two human bodies were hanging from the wooden pole. They were begging for mercy, but the mercenaries who were guarding the wooden pole ignored them at all, just kept paying attention to the fact that the two drunken vomit would not fall on themselves.
When he arrived at the mayor's residence, Terence was discussing price issues with several merchants. When he saw Jia Kedao coming in, he hurriedly got up and saluted.
And the merchants followed in a panic and saluted to Jia Kedao: "May the great God of Wealth bless your territory forever."
Is this a believer of Grancius, the God of Wealth?
Relevant memories immediately emerged in Jia Kedao's mind.
The God of Wealth Grancius is a god believed by most merchants on the entire continent. It is said that this god is in charge of the two rich clergy of wealth and business.
Well, it can only be said to be rich, not powerful, and there is no way. It is said that before the god of gods and when he was a mortal, his combat power was called a scumbag, so how he was a god was also a secret.
Wealth, business? Why there is no contract?
It seems that the faith of this God of Wealth is not very strong.
Jia Kedao smiled and asked several merchants to sit down: "What I believe in is the great land god."
Terence also explained at this time: "Mr. Mingyang is the earthly spokesperson of the great land god."
After Terence said this, the merchants stood up again in shock and bowed to Jia Kedao.
These merchants walked around and their understanding of the churches was beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Although he had never heard of the great land god, even if he was an evil god, the spokesperson of his land was at least one of the Lord's Priests.
How could a few big men like this dare to sit in front of each other?
Jia Kedao guessed something right.
The God of Wealth, Grancius, is said to be weak in combat, but it is also a joke to the organization of believers.
A true god has been enthroned for almost three thousand years, but its faith is still loose and has not gathered a church organization with high execution ability.
To put it bluntly, there are many merchants who believe in the God of Wealth, Grancius, but these merchants were not organized. At most, merchants from a region united to worship the god when necessary.
This is much different from other gods.
Of course, this is also determined by the nature of a businessman.
For the vast majority of normal businessmen, it is an irrefutable truth to fight for profit with small money.
And no businessman would want his capital, that is, his capital, to be controlled by other businessmen.
These two points prevented the merchants from uniting to form a unified church.
Well, no matter what the church believes in any god, its essence is unchanging.
That is to gather the power of believers to defend the faith of God and judge heresy.
This conflicts with the habit of merchants who can even sell off their ancestors when necessary.
Of course, in the absence of a unified church, the greed of merchants made them very poor among the people. Since their reputation was very poor, and without a solid background, the status of merchants could be imagined.
Especially now that we have come to a strange territory, facing the supreme ruler and spokesperson of a god, the merchants can be imagined.
Jia Kedao talked with several businessmen in a friendly manner for a while. After learning about some situations, he asked Terence to continue communicating with the other party, and he took his disciples to visit.
After a long time, Terence finally finished his business. He came to see Jia Kedao and introduced in detail the situation of the caravan.
The arrival of the caravan is a good start for Hope Town.
The first caravan that arrived alone acquired all the seized items assigned to Hope Town, which made Terence happy for a few days.
Although I hope the town now has support from Aoki Valley and there is no shortage of food and even other necessities for daily necessities, Terence does not want to keep doing this. In that case, wouldn’t he seem too incompetent?
The gold coins obtained by selling seized weapons, jewelry, etc. were flowed back to the caravan in a blink of an eye.
Grain is the main purchase product. In addition, there are salt, leather and some herbs brought by caravans, and even ten female slaves were purchased.
From this moment on, Hope Town can be considered partly self-sufficient.
The ten female slaves were specially purchased by Terence to reward the well-behaved King Kong armored heroes and even mercenaries.
Hearing this, Jia Kedao frowned. It was not that he felt that there was something wrong with the existence of slaves, but that he discovered a problem.
This problem exists in both Hope Town and Aoki Valley.
The ratio of men and women is severely unbalanced.
The Aoki Valley is a little better. Among the more than 400 people, there are about 80 women, and the Hope Town is full of young and strong men.
Now, under the high-pressure policy, there is nothing to see. At most, it is just a fight to vent. If it takes a long time, the young and strong secreted hormones may cause trouble.
Although Jia Kedao has never suffered such suffering, as a man, he can understand the truth here.
Not to mention anything else, just to make this place develop normally, women are absolutely indispensable harmonics.
"How can ten female slaves be enough?"
Jia Kedao smiled and asked Terence to invite all the merchants over.
I heard that the actual ruler here, a god's earthly spokesperson, and a powerful priest invited him and these merchants to discuss major events.
The merchants were busy preparing gifts, washing and changing clothes, etc.
In the camp composed of caravans, there will be sounds of supervision from time to time.
"Quick! Find out the dress I made in the royal city!"
"Move quickly, be gentler. If the things in it are broken, you can't afford to pay even if you sell your whole family!"
"Be careful! Do you want me to give the broken gift to the Lord of the Priest?"
After a chaotic chaos, the merchants began to gather in the mayor's mansion one by one, and while accepting the reception from the priest, they gave their carefully selected gifts to the priest.
In the eyes of these merchants, if they could get along with this priest, their business in this area would be easier in the future.
Many businessmen inside have been in Hope Town for a while.
Although Hope Town is not large in size, it is absolutely powerful. The residents inside are all carrying the blood of fighting men. You can tell at a glance that they have been stained with human blood, especially those strong men patrolling the streets. I heard that they actually defeated Wang Jun, who had more than 3,000 people with fifty people! (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
