Chapter 264: Kia Merchant Group
Speaking of this Slavic caravanserais, the history goes back more than 300 years. At that time, the Fran Empire had begun to decline from its extreme prosperity to decline, and the years of war with the Orc Empire Campas had caused the resources in the Fran Empire to be consumed day after day. Many of the descendants of the once great nobles have lost the glory and protection of their ancestors, and in order to continue the high status and the high cost of money in high society, the grandson of the Grand Duke of Kia, who was once very famous in the French Empire, has lost the glory and protection of their ancestors. Kia began to establish trade with the Slavic kingdoms in the far north.
Although the journey was dangerous and arduous, the rewards were equally impressive. Today, the descendants of the Grand Duke of Kia have been restored to glory by the trade route between the Slavs and the French, and they have to hand over huge amounts of gold and treasures to the French royal family every year, but they have also obtained the protection of the French royal family and obtained the exclusive right to trade on this alluring trade route.
I have to say that the Asian business group is very smart, and after so many years, they have been following the ancestor Burton. Kia's guidelines were to trade goods from Slavia to the country as fairly as possible, to get along well with the Snowman, and to increase the number of offerings to the royal family.
This made it possible for any conflict between the French Empire and the Slavic Kingdom to affect the passage of Kia caravans. In their eyes, a deal is a deal, and politics and war have nothing to do with them......
Now, after all these years, Kia's caravan has grown into a united group of thousands of merchants. They gathered under the banner of the Kia trade community and together built this trade lifeline between the Slavs and the Francos.
The team of Kia merchants slowly stopped on the frozen plains, two miles away from the village of Egmaya. During the year, the Kia caravans only had a maximum of three months to trade in the Slavic kingdoms, and due to the heavy snow and cold in winter, the Kia caravans generally entered the snowfields in the spring, first to the royal city in eastern Slavia, and then westward to the area of Frozen Lake City, and when autumn arrived, they passed through the village of Aigmaya and returned to Flange with various Slavic goods.
Following the ancient system, they would leave supplies to each village along the way to trade, so even after walking most of the way through the vast snowfield, the Kia merchant still had items to trade. The distance of two miles represents respect for the Slavs.
This time of year is a time of great joy for the Slavs. All kinds of goods from the rich Francois Empire make the monotonous and harsh life in the snowfields more convenient and fun. Zhang Yang saw that almost every household would take out the furs and various materials unique to the snow fields that they had accumulated for nearly a year, as well as a small amount of gold and silver, and exchange them for food, cloth, wine, and other daily necessities with the Kia merchant group.
Take Emma as an example, because of Zhang Yang's reasons recently, her family has harvested more than forty pieces of various furs and a large number of Warcraft materials. With these things, Emma actually exchanged four large bags of 100 pak of powder from the Kia merchant group; a small bag of spice for 5 pakris; five rolls of cotton; A pile of porcelain cutlery and a lot of fine wine. In addition, because Emma had a large transaction volume this time, the Kia merchant group also gave her a beautiful blanket, which made Emma immediately happy.
Although Zhang Yang is not particularly good at business, as a mercenary, he still has some understanding of prices. For those complete furs and monster materials that Emma exchanged for, it is enough to exchange at least ten times the number of those goods in the Flange territory! However, considering the transportation distance of thousands of miles, Zhang Yang feels that such a price is quite fair.
The Kia business group would stay here for a full day's rest, so Zhang Yang was invited by Emma to get ready to take a stroll around the large mobile market.
In addition to bartering, Kia merchants also circulated currency. Not only are there all kinds of daily necessities here, but many chefs and artists who are willing to make hard-earned money have also come to the Far North Snow Fields with the business group. With the exception of killers and prostitutes, the two oldest industries, the Kia Chamber of Commerce includes operators of almost every industry!
Walking in the noisy mobile market, Zhang and Yang seem to have found a feeling of being in a Ladovian market. Emma is taller, but she is only a nineteen-year-old girl, and she really likes such a rare activity as 'shopping'!
"Wright! Look how beautiful that bottle is! ”
"Wright! Look at that blanket! ”
"Wright! What's that? How is it dark? ”
"Wright ......"
Emma is like a happy bird, chattering from the moment she enters the bazaar. Although every year the Kia caravan comes to the snowfield, there are still many things that Emma has never seen. That is, Zhang Yang has a gentle temperament on weekdays, otherwise he will be annoyed to death if he is replaced by a Slavic man......
Zhang Yang bought some small things for Emma bits and pieces, which made her very happy. However, when Emma thought that this guy was going to leave soon, she felt a sense of indescribability in her heart, which made her originally extremely excited mood suddenly weaken a lot.
After the Kia caravan's bazaar opened, it was more than two miles long, and at this time, Zhang Yang and the two walked more than halfway. That's when a delicate-looking mobile jewelry workshop caught Emma's attention.
"Look, Wright! These necklaces and jewelry are so beautiful! Look at those gems, they are so beautiful! In the past, we were very rare in these things, and every time a caravan came, I had to watch it for a long time! ”
Emma's words revealed a hint of longing and a bit of gloom. Life in the village of Aigmaya is not easy, and the little money and goods are kept in exchange for the necessities of life. For these luxuries and ornaments, Emma's family has no spare money to buy.
Following Emma's gaze, Zhang Yang found that there was nothing too valuable in this jewelry workshop pulled by a horse-drawn carriage, most of the jewelry was silver, and the gems were cheap goods with very poor condition. This is very normal, such a long journey, rich jewelers will not come to suffer this hardship, and if the value of the jewelry is too high, the risk will be much greater. However, Emma's vision is not bad, and judging from the finished products made by this workshop, at least the craftsmanship is still very good.
Looking sideways at Emma, who was almost as tall as herself, and looking at her kind of genuine longing eyes, Zhang Yang suddenly felt a little sour in his heart. The Slavic snowfields are so bitter that even the small wishes of a young girl cannot be fulfilled! All right! It's a parting time, and the final gift is ready.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yang leaned in front of the window of the carriage workshop, and thought of a thin old man here and said:
"Sir, don't you know you can customize jewelry here?"
