Chapter 13: Out of the City
Holding a bank card of 10,000 gold coins in his arms, Mars's face was swept away for many days, the corners of his cracked mouth couldn't help laughing, his eyes were full of excitement, and he walked on the extremely scorching road under the scorching sun, not feeling a trace of discomfort, but feeling warm on his body.
I, Mars, are finally going to be developed, as long as he does well in business this time, there will be a marquis family standing behind him, and he is also a big man in Creery, he must let that Grandet kneel down and apologize to him, and then drive him out of Creery, as for those who cross the river and tear down the bridge, they have regrets.
Returning to the house at home, the joy and excitement in his heart decreased slightly, and after taking a deep breath, Mars opened the fur purchase bill in the safe and carefully looked at the previous records.
The long-awaited capital is finally there, and it is more than he imagined, 10,000 gold coins, he has never used such a big deal, he must be extremely careful and set a rigorous plan.
Although William, the heir of the Augustus family, did not say it, he knew very well in his heart that if the business was messed up by him this time, his life would not be saved.
The Augustus family is preparing to secretly enter the fur business market, if he can't satisfy the Augustus family, then he will definitely be replaced by the Augustus family, in order to keep it a secret, the end of the replacement is definitely what he doesn't want.
The Augustus family gave him this opportunity, but this opportunity is a double-edged sword, if used well, it is not a problem to increase the official and make a fortune, but if it is not used well, his life will not be guaranteed.
After going through all the bills for the purchase of furs for more than ten years, a clear plan gradually formed in Mars's mind, with 10,000 gold coins of acquisition funds, in order to obtain greater profits, he needed to go deeper into the Nurha steppe.
As soon as the plan was formed, Mars immediately went to the mercenary union to hire reliable mercenaries, it was not safe to enter the steppe, and the fur merchants who died in the Nurha steppe every year were enough to circle around Kriri.
Later, Mars rented a large number of transports from the Crery Fur Chamber of Commerce, and 10,000 gold coins was not a small amount, and the purchased furs were estimated to fill more than ten large carts.
With sufficient funds and Mars's hard work, three days later, in the early morning, Mars straightened his new clothes and knocked on the door of the heir of the Augustus family.
"Good morning, my lord!" At the first sight of William, Mars made a very standard bow, respectfully and authentically, he had practiced this simple bow for several days, just to make a good impression on William.
"The caravan's affairs have all been settled, as long as the adults can be ready, we can leave at any time."
Carré put down the newspaper in his hand, glanced up at Mars slightly, and said lightly: "Yes, this work efficiency makes my expectations for you rise again!" ”
It seems that his plan to disguise himself as the heir of the Augustus family is very correct, otherwise he will sponsor Mars with an unidentified person, not to mention whether Mars will hack the sponsorship money, even if it is not hacked, it is estimated that the efficiency of the action will be very slow.
"Now that we're ready, let's go now!" Carré stood up and said to Mars, then waved to Delina, "Lina, pack your bags. ”
Although he now has all the clothes and food in his space spar, this kind of thing must not be exposed unless it is absolutely necessary, even if it is a martial king, he is afraid that he is also very hot on the space spar.
"Let's go now!" Mars seemed to be a little incredulous, his voice a little surprised, and he stared at Carré with wide eyes.
"Why, can't you!" Carré glanced at Mars, his gaze cold as windy.
"Nope! My lord, it's totally possible, everything is ready, my lord will wait first, I'll go and call a taxi below! Mars hurriedly replied, in his impression of the nobles, don't these nobles like to procrastinate and procrastinate, but because this matter involves his net worth and life, he is indeed fully prepared.
"It is worthy of being a big nobleman from the imperial capital, completely different from the small nobles of Crery, this kind of efficiency, it is no wonder that he will become the first heir to the Marquis family." Mars said secretly in his heart, feeling that he had figured out the problem, and walked downstairs quickly.
In order to make a better impression on Carré, Mars specially called a very luxurious-looking steam taxi, the interior of the taxi is very spacious, there are five positions, and the space where the passengers are located is separated from the driver's cab, giving passengers a lot of privacy.
Sitting in the steam taxi, Mars sat opposite Carré, took out a tissue to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and explained: "My lord, the caravan's transports and the mercenaries guarding it are all outside the city. ”
"Yes!" Carré nodded, "By the way, you can just call me by name in the future, don't reveal my identity!" ”
"I know, I know, my lord said that I wanted to hide my whereabouts, and my subordinates never revealed the identity of my lord, and I announced that the 10,000 gold coins were lent to me by a rich elder from afar, as for the identity of my lord, my subordinates dared to announce that it was the grandson of my rich elder, that is, the nephew of the next, I hope that my lord will not blame!" Mars said respectfully.
"It's okay!" Carré waved his hand, this Mars is indeed very good at getting things done, and everything is arranged very comfortably.
Soon, the steam cab left the city and stopped in an area north of the city outside of the city, where the fur traders used to enter the Nurha steppes.
It was not the best time to buy furs, there were not many merchants, and it was not very noisy, but there were a few tents scattered around, and around the tents there were several dark brown cattle tethered, licking the hay with their heads down.
These cattle are generally more than two meters tall, three or four meters long, the muscles of the whole body like iron bumps bulge quickly, full of a sense of strength, these cattle are purebred Nuer bison, adult Nuer bison is enough to carry nearly ten tons, Nuer bison is the most common animal for fur traders to transport fur on the Nurha steppe, not only powerful, but also not slow.
Of course, the speed is definitely not as good as the steam wagon, but although the grassland looks endless and very flat, and the ground is actually bumpy, the steam wagon is difficult to drive, and there is a big advantage of using Nuer bison to transport goods, there is no need to prepare food, and the Nurha grassland is at most weeds.
After getting out of the car, led by Mars, Carré and Delina came to several tents that were tied together.
"Old Gree, pack up and get ready to go!" Mars lifted the curtain that hung from a tent, leaned in and shouted loudly.
"Got it, why are you so loud, I'm not deaf!" A very rough voice came from the tent, and a strong man with a thick brown beard rushed out of the tent, the muscles of his chest held tightly in his thin shirt.
"Get up, pack up your tent, put the cattle on the carriage, and get ready to go." Old Gree yelled at a few tents around him.
One by one, young men who looked very sturdy came out of the tent, stretched their waists, and there were more than twenty people, and connected the bison to the carriage parked not far away, and one carriage connected two cows, and then dismantled the tent and loaded it in the carriage.
It's been a busy morning!
