forty-four gifts
In addition to the god-controlled soldiers, there are also those who need to be placed recently. After a simple statistics, Feng Feiyang sent most of them to the mine veins to dig out the iron and coal they need now.
In fact, after Robert discovered the three spies, the population transaction stopped at Katniss's sign. At that time, the girl was a little confused about who wanted to deal with her, so she had to act cautiously.
Unexpectedly, this delay has been delayed until now.
"Two 'Holy Angels' reappeared on earth!" This news has spread throughout the Iris Principality and has spread quickly to other countries. People who receive the news will be shocked, surprised, but will not have doubts...
Because there are so many witnesses to this miracle!
Moreover, most of them were very identifiable. Almost all the lords near Messi's house were present, and hundreds of devout knights came to visit! After witnessing such a scene, they couldn't help but kneel down on the ground, kissed the land, saluted to the Holy Angels, and recited the glory of God the Father loudly.
After returning to their own seal, most of these witnesses announced the "fasting festival" at the same time. (For girls, this is a very formal ceremony.)
Because of this, although the royal family and the church have not yet made any statements, a very small number of keen merchants have already smelled the smell of interests. They inquired about Messi's family and soon learned that Katnis had purchased a batch of slaves not long ago.
For example, the current man named Yao Xi Leo is the warp among his merchants. His family has been a maritime merchant for generations and has a prominent position in Hermes, the port city of the southern Duchy of Iris. His uncle is one of the permanent members of the Merchant Guild.[]
According to Mr. Leo's family status, there was no need to come to curry favor with the girl in a hurry. But he also had his own considerations - the most common business of his family was to bring spices and slaves from the East to sell them. This business was originally profitable, but in recent years, the Eastern Expedition Army advocated by the church opened up the East and West continents, and the trade routes also expanded - although land traders were slower than marine traders, they were better at safety, and they did not use the monsoon and could be carried out anytime and anywhere.
Under such circumstances, there will naturally be countless new people joining the trade. Most of them are not profitable, and only a few can succeed. But no matter what, what they are moved is the cheese that originally belonged to Yao Xi and the others.
Of course, Yao Xi did not want to see such a situation, but he had no choice but to do anything. The influence and appeal of the Father God Church were by no means shaking them... And if you want to buy business licenses through bribery, the Governor in the Far East was a pious and enthusiastic warrior. The Governor thought about how to burn, kill, loot the pagans all day long, but lacked interest in such fine things as trading.
In the eyes of the governor, a businessman like Yao Xi was just a logistics officer who provided him with gold coins and food.
Yao Xi and the others were unable to contact the speakers within the church, but they accidentally heard the news of the arrival of the Holy Angel. How could they not make them happy?
So while most people were still watching and tempting, Yao Xi and the others had already pulled up the carriage and moved towards the Rapidsburg.
"Three hundred people?" Katniss looked at the long gift list in her hand and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. The butler beside her immediately attached to her ear and whispered, "Yes, Miss. Robert has looked at those people from afar. Most of them are very strong men, and their quality is much better than what we bought last time!"
Katnis nodded and looked down. In addition to these slaves, Yao Xi also sent food that could support these slaves for a year, as well as a large number of tools needed for mining. Obviously, Yao Xi, who is quite skilled, has guessed Katnis' intention to buy slaves.
But these are nothing surprising. Other merchants have come before Yao Xi. Although they don’t send so many slaves and other items, they are not as many.
When dealing with those businessmen, the girl just thanked them politely and paid in full with the treasures she brought with her master at the normal price.
But the list Yao Xi sent was a little different. At the end, he respectfully wrote: Because he admired the saint of Lord Holy Angel, some of the free people in his port wanted to migrate here to live for the convenience of worship. He thought of the devout faith of these people, and couldn't help but agree rashly, and on this way to transport slaves, he escorted them here.
Below the gift list is the list of free people who requested settlement. Their names are nothing surprising, they are common names such as John and George. What really makes Katniss think Yao Xi not simple is the notes behind their names.
Most of these ten free people have craftsmanship! From the scarce blacksmiths here in Katnis to the more common coopers, there are everything. Of course, Katnis would not naively think that these people really came to her "voluntarily", so while admiring, they were also a little confused about Yao Xi's big moves.
Of course, Katniss didn't mean to refuse the gift that came to the door, but there was some qualities to accept it. After thinking about it, she ordered the housekeeper around her, "First treat this gentleman well for me and invite him to the dinner with me."
...
At night, when Mr. Yao Xi entered the castle hall with hope, he was surprised to find that sitting on the main table was not the "Son" he wanted to visit, but Richard Messi, the young brother of Katnis, who was the nominal owner of the Rapids Castle.
Little Richard leaned against his sister beside him and the raven on his shoulders, and greeted the visiting guests with awkward and warmth.
Seeing this, Yao Xi could only smile bitterly: Just like he was a visit for his uncle in name, Katnis also gained the necessary room for maneuver by hiding behind Little Richard.
After the dinner, Yao Xi did not get any promises except that he should have received compensation. But he was not disappointed, because the keen businessman had obtained enough information from the action of Katniss who would push his beloved brother to the front desk.
He believes that their cooperation with Messi has just begun. What he needs to do now is to deliver all the things Katniss asked for as soon as possible.
