Chapter 310: The Silver Moon Alliance Hundred Discuss the Debt Group
For the vast majority of people in the new camp in Zeelandia, every day is basically a repetition of the tent, the canteen, and the construction site.
And time is in such a daily repetition, quietly coming to April.
Green Grass Festival.
This is a sign that spring is really coming, the snow and ice are melting, everything is recovering, and with the arrival of the wet season, everything is starting to stir... It's a day to relax and enjoy.
The inhabitants of the city would sprinkle the flowers that had been carefully tended in the temples and castles on the snow to ward off the cold winter and pray for a good harvest in the coming season.
The merchants, on the other hand, would hire men to carry various staple products to the wagons, and put mercenary recruitment notices in the taverns, employing some adventurers as an extra layer of protection on the trade routes.
Because some adventurers will be more or less familiar with some bands of robbers and city guards on the way.
In this case, it is often possible to spend some money to avoid a doomed encounter or to avoid some taxes through another tax calculation.
In this way, it is cost-effective to hire these veteran adventurers.
However, at this time, for some merchants of Silvermoon City, they had another task to do in addition to their trip south to Jishui City to trade.
That is to recover the money of intent to buy the property that he was 'tricked' by the Hogg merchant group.
Yes, they feel like they've been fooled.
Ever since the group of immigrants who had gone to the so-called Northland New City of Minas Tirith returned to Silvermoon City a few years ago, the merchants felt that they had been deceived.
It's just that due to the pressure from the orc tribe in the north, and they are in a hurry to deal with the batch of food that has plummeted all the way due to the large amount of supplies donated by the Hogg merchant group.
Not long after they scrambled to sell their food, they found out that they had been deceived again!
Or ordinary people don't have the leisure or energy to care about the truth of certain things, they just know that they have food to survive this winter.
But businessmen are not the same, they are extremely sensitive to any information that can affect the fluctuation of the value of goods.
It was also after Li Wei donated several containers of rat meat, fathead fish and shiitake mushrooms in public that day, and threatened to continue to donate 2,000 tons of various materials in the future, which caused the prices of major hoarders to plummet and compete to sell goods.
Six thousand tons of food!
Scared to death personally.
And looking at Levi's calm and crazy appearance at that time, almost everyone thought that he really did this kind of thing.
As a result, not to mention three days, they looked forward to the Midwinter Festival for the moon, and from the Midwinter Festival to the present, not to mention any food, and they didn't see a single ship.
However, the official of the Silver Moon Federation announced that it had received this donation...
The businessmen are not stupid, and as soon as they think about it, they immediately scold their mothers.
Feelings: This is a play played by the guy named Levi and the officials of the Silver Moon Federation in order to suppress food prices, just to fool them into selling grain on a large scale.
By the time they reacted, most of the food in their hands had already been sold, enough for Silvermoon City to wait for the rest of the Federation to transport food for disaster relief.
Actually, speaking of which, you really can't blame Levi.
He originally planned to fulfill his promise to fulfill the follow-up supplies, at least to make a show of partnering with the Silver Wing.
As a result, the orcs attacked that night.
When the orcs are repulsed, just cleaning the battlefield and dealing with the wounded will almost mobilize the entire camp, so how can there be the time and energy to continue the exercise.
So he euphemistically mentioned this matter to Silver Wing.
Silver Wing is also an empathetic master, others have already resolved the food crisis in Silvermoon City, do they really want to let the other party 'go bankrupt'?
So after Silverwing returned to Silvermoon City, there was the official announcement that all the merchants were confused by the news that they had received donated materials.
In fact, this kind of comical operation has long been commonplace in the Blue Star next door, before there was the bizarre death case of Zhangzidao scallops, and then there was the light of the nation Ruixing fake accounts to cut Western capital leeks, all kinds of 'jokes' that make leeks stuffy with liquor can be brought out for three days and three nights.
In the face of the 'god-level player' who cut the leeks of the entire Silver Moon Federation in two stubbles after meeting them like this, the merchants were also silent.
Let's put up with it!
After all, they listened to the false news and wantonly sold the grain for the losses, and they had no reason to ask the other party to pay for it, and the poor lord who built the city had to find them to collect wool was bound to not be able to afford it.
And just the advance payment for the purchase of a house with a 'copy of the application', on the contrary, is not much money, not much, but it is just a waste of time, and I am unwilling.
What's more, the other party is a lord anyway, and there should be some power at hand.
And this kind of thinking became even more ingrained after hearing that the other party actually repelled an orc tribe that was raiding south.
In this case, if such a small caravan like you goes to collect debts, isn't that asking for your own hardship? Maybe you will be given another hand by the lord who can't pay for his life, who can stand this!
But now the situation is different.
The merchants of the entire Silver Moon Federation have to bring goods to Jishui City for a large amount of trade, all the way down the Sebrin River, always passing through the territory of the Levi Lord.
The alliance of merchants on the docks also took the opportunity to join together, and all the 'victims' formed a fleet, and the various private soldiers and adventurers combined always numbered two or three thousand.
With such a posture, I will ask you if you are afraid!
If you dare not return the money, the territory can be razed for you.
The merchants of the Silver Moon Federation stood on the deck and looked at this majestic scene, and couldn't help but be full of enthusiasm, and at the same time, another thought came out irrepressibly.
Since we have such a strong force together, why don't we simply maintain this temporary merchant alliance for a long time.
At that time, even the extremely dangerous ocean trade can be carried out.
The profit of sea freight is far greater than that of river transportation.
......
Just as the immensely large 'fleet' approached Levi's camp along the Seblin River.
An emaciated figure was clutching his bleeding waist as he swayed through the forests of the Eternal Wilderness.
It was none other than Ellene, the ranger who had a relationship with Levi on the Sebrin River.
It's just that her situation at the moment is not very good, Xu is waist was scratched by a sharp weapon, and her small face was so pale that there was no blood.
There seemed to be a small number of pursuers behind him, and sharp javelins pierced through the woods, narrowly avoided by Elena.
"It's almost there... It's almost there, and you must inform Mr. Long of these two urgent messages as soon as possible.
"Definitely..."
Erlene bit her white lip and said.
