The only one who could stand in front of Jia Kedao was the businessman who came out to greet him.

"I just passed by here and wanted to ask something, go do whatever you should do, and the merchants stayed."

Jia Kedao said with a smile, which made most of the people in the camp feel relieved. Of course, even if they do their own things, the eyes of these guys still swept over from time to time, for fear that something would suddenly appear and implicate themselves.

However, the two merchants were anxiously waiting for the Dragon Rider General's inquiry.

"I don't know what the great Dragon Knight General wants to know? We will definitely not be reserved."

The businessman who welcomed Jia Kedao mustered up the courage to answer the words.

Next, Jia Kedao asked a lot of things, such as where the caravan came from, what goods were brought, where he was going, etc. What was inevitable was to ask for a map drawn by the caravan.

This is very important. From the moment any caravan is established, the place where it passes will be drawn into a map, which is a reserve that merchants regard as treasures.

In this other world where road construction does not pay attention to, even if the road is stepped on by people, it will be quickly covered by wild grass and shrubs in the season of abundant rain.

If there is no corresponding map, even the most experienced caravan may get lost.

These two caravans came from the Principality of Temu and the Kingdom of Ida respectively.

The entire Duchy of Temu has 90% mountainous areas, so it is rich in various ores. The Kingdom of Ida was established as a commercial country and can be called a commercial distribution center for several nearby countries.

News between businessmen spread very quickly.

After hearing about the Hope Town near the Lion City under the Lion Kingdom, which is under the Lion Kingdom, produces a large amount of cheap fine salt and even luxurious white sugar, many merchants came from these two countries in an attempt to make a fortune.

These two caravans are one of them.

Of course, due to the first time we came and the short time, they had not heard any rumors about weapons and armor.

The caravans from the Principal of Temu carried a large amount of ore. Jia Kedao looked around and found that most of them were iron ore and some metal ore.

In the other world, for most intelligent species, iron is an extremely important strategic resource. Not only does weapons and armor require a large amount of iron, but it is also indispensable in agriculture.

But for Jia Kedao, these ores seem a bit useless.

Jia Kedao can easily purchase a large amount of steel from the earth without any restrictions. For caravans from the Principal of Temu, this is originally a risk. If iron ore is sold to countries with poor relations with Temu, it may be subject to official sanctions.

This is the gap between industrialized society and primitive society.

But Jia Kedao found good things in the ore.

"What is this? How much is it?"

Jia Kedao asked, pointing to some ores that were thrown into the corner.

The Tem merchant, the merchant who came out to greet Jia Kedao, looked at it and replied embarrassedly: "This is white bluestone, a material used to make stone statues. The price is very cheap. You can buy a large box with a silver coin. Does the Dragon Rider need it?"

In fact, the merchant was embarrassed to say that these white bluestones were the ones they used to purchase iron ore. The use of this thing was extremely limited and the hardness was not too high, so they could only be used to carve stone statues. As for other uses, they have not been discovered yet.

White bluestone?

Jia Kedao did not answer, raised his eyebrows, reached out and took a piece of white bluestone the size of a fist in his hand. It was covered with stone skin on the outside. As soon as Jia Kedao tried hard, the white bluestone was pulled down, and what was revealed inside turned out was a warm mixture of white and blue.

Isn't this jade?

Jia Kedao had guessed something before, but now he is sure.

The so-called white bluestone is actually a relatively inferior jade, and the texture is relatively mixed. There are also many stone threads that can be seen inside, which greatly reduces the value of this jade.

No wonder I can only use it to carve stone statues.

Jia Kedao nodded, but these inferior jades have no value to others, but they are different for Jia Kedao.

You should know that the Dragon and Tiger Red Flame Cauldron can purify jade, and after two consecutive plunders, even if the Big Gold Teeth tries every possible way, it will be difficult to get cheap jade chips.

There is no way, there is a rumor in the jade market now that XXX has developed the technology to completely melt and integrate jade, which has made the jade bosses reluctant to sell the jade chips and would rather keep them.

Of course, there are many of these things that are made into fakes after being filled with resin, so the source is not much.

This is not good news for Jia Kedao.

You should know that for those who practice Taoism, the consumption of jade is very large.

If it weren't for the insufficient jade shavings, Jia Kedao would have the idea of ​​using purified white jade to forge a small alchemy tripod.

Unfortunately, even if the jade shavings and stone skins collected from the Big Gold Teeth were melted and purified for the second time, the obtained mutton fat white jade was only half the amount used for making a small alchemy cauldron.

Now, since the so-called white bluestone is cheap in the Principal of Temu, there will be no shortage of jade in the future. Maybe there will be a good jade mine in the Principal of Temu, but they don’t know how to use it.

But after Jia Kedao asked, the answer of the merchants in the Principal of Natum disappointed Jia Kedao. There was no stone described by Jia Kedao in the Principal of Terum, at least no one has discovered it yet.

This disappointed Jia Kedao.

To talk about the difference between white bluestone and good jade, for Jia Kedao, it is actually the difference between poor ore and rich ore.

If there is a rich mine, you can also reduce some trouble yourself.

Even if the Dragon and Tiger Red Flame Cauldron can purify inferior jade into mutton fat white jade, this is always a labor-consuming and time-consuming trouble.

The goods brought by the merchant in the Kingdom of Ida this time were basically all things from the body of the monster.

For example, the best monster fur and magic core are originally the main export commodities of the Ida Kingdom.

The only thing that made Jia Kedao regret was that the grades of those magic cores were relatively low, and the best magic core was the Wind Wolf's magic core.

After thinking for a while, Jia Kedao revealed his identity to the two merchants and expressed his hope that the merchants of the Duchy of Temu will transport as many white bluestones to Hope Town for sale as much as possible in the future, and the price will be five times higher than the normal price.

The merchants in the Kingdom of Ida should try to bring some high-level magic cores to sell. As for the price, it is 20% higher than the market price.
