Section 401 Bauhinia Merchants Alliance City-State

If you use horse-drawn carriages to load it.

Divine roots, boundless grass, Jialuo leaves, fish gelatin, animal glue and other precious medicinal materials, supplements can be loaded into 6 carriages.

The best lake beads can fit 3 carriages.

Jade can fit 5 wagons.

Jadeite and jadeite rough can fit dozens of horse-drawn carts.

Diamonds can fit half a wagon.

It has to be said that the gemstones produced here are much more abundant and of better quality than those produced on the surface.

In fact, it does.

We know that the deeper the earth goes from the surface to the depths of the earth, the higher the temperature and the greater the pressure.

Gemstones such as diamonds are formed by crystallization at high temperatures and pressures.

In other words, here, the deep part of the earth's crust of hundreds of thousands of meters or hundreds of thousands of meters below the surface has more favorable conditions for the formation of gemstones than on the surface.

The purchase of these 'goods' cost Chen Rui less than 5 tons of gold.

Five tonnes of gold are worth less than $1.2 billion.

However, the profit brought to Chen Rui by selling it on the surface was N times that of 1.2 billion, and the value of N exceeded 100.

For example, diamonds, there are a lot of excellent diamonds.

Diamonds that have reached the colorless, flawless level, and have the ability to retain their value and have the ability to collect a large proportion of diamonds above the carat level.

By visual inspection, diamonds over ten carats and tens of carats account for 10% of the half-carriage diamonds.

And there are dozens of diamonds that exceed hundreds of carats and hundreds of carats.

There are even 6 diamonds of the legendary level that exceed the kilogram pull.

I have to admit that the diamonds in the space here are so abundant and of very good quality.

Chen Rui was under the eyes of the businessman's 'reluctance'. Leaving the city of Marani.

Half a year after an agreement with the merchants. At the high tide of the Endra River. Will come to trade once.

Chen Rui left the city of Marani and continued downstream along the banks of the Enzhuo River.

Along the way, camouflaged cameras hidden in cloth bags on horseback were always on to photograph the landscapes, farmsteads, estates, and farmers working in the fields along the road, like a documentary. Gardeners pruning flowers and plants in the garden, passing caravans, horseback riding, wearing armor and helmets, knightly swords hanging from their waists, knights guarding the rules of knighthood, and various customs, Phoenician culture.

After walking on the road for several days, one man and one horse arrived at the Ava River, the largest tributary of the Ndra River.

On the banks of the Ava River.

Chen Rui witnessed a war.

The war was very brutal, more than a thousand people were on the banks of the Ava River. Tearing into pieces, blood stained the land red. The sound of horses' hooves, the sound of a single horn, the clashing of weapons and armor, the screams, roars, and neighing of soldiers composed a brutal prelude to war.

Two parties.

One side holds a flag embroidered with a fierce bird pattern of 'yi'.

Chen Rui knew that they were the army of the nearby city-state of Garnet.

On the other side, there are armies of three forces: the city-state of Blackwater, which holds a banner embroidered with a fish pattern called 'cat', the city-state of the merchant alliance of the three-petaled bauhinia, and the city-state of Maste, which embroiders a beast flag called 'moi'.

The result was almost doomed, three against one, the city-state of Garnet was defeated, defeated to the ground, and lost its armor.

Chen Rui left the battlefield.

At a ferry port in the upper reaches of the Ava River, take a raft boat, cross the Ava River, and enter the city-state of the Bauhinia Merchant League.

The Bauhinia Merchant League city-state is located in the middle and upper reaches of the Encro River, although the area is very small, only less than half of the territory of the Lamani city-state, but, the location is very good, at the confluence of two large rivers, the Ava River and the Ndzhuo River, the waterway transportation is convenient, and the geographical location is special, it is an alluvial plain, where the Ndzo River surrounds the Bauhinia Merchant League in a U-shape.

The city-state of the Bauhinia Merchant Alliance knows it at a glance.

The Bauhinia Merchant League city-state was not ruled by traditional aristocrats like other city-states, but was a merchant city-state with merchants holding all the power of the city-state.

The council, made up of a dozen or so big businessmen, holds most of the power of the alliance.

The city of Bernie, the ruling center of the city-state of the Bauhinia Merchant League, is where merchants gather, and all kinds of merchant ships are docked on the docks, and goods from the upper reaches of the Ava River are transported here by water, and from the upper reaches of the Ndro River and the lower coastal city-states are transported here by water, and almost all the goods of the whole Tyre continent are gathered here.

The city of Bernie was the largest and most famous commercial and trade center in all of Tyre.

The trading market in Burnie City has more than ten times the daily trading volume of Marani City, and there are more than 50,000 gold matts trading volume in Burnie City's trading market every day.

Chen Rui paid the entrance tax of 3 copper Seth at the city gate and entered Bernie City.

Chen Rui felt a little hungry.

Came to a more luxurious restaurant.

Give the horse to the waiter and tell the waiter to feed the horse good forage and soybeans.

Chen Rui entered the restaurant and ordered this signature dish.

A type of barbecue called the Monkey Beast.

A boiled fish called flounder from the Endra River.

Plus a delicious mushroom soup.

The taste is very delicate and delicious, which makes Chen Rui eat it with a big mouth.

While dining at the restaurant, Chen Rui overheard some news from the mouths of the guests dining at the table next to him.

About the war that took place a few days ago on the banks of the Ava River.

The origin of the war was the act of death of the city-state of Garnet.

The whole of Tyre knew that the gods had come from the whirlpool and lived by the river at the source of the Ndro River, and many people had made a pilgrimage to the source of the Undro River by boats from the lower reaches of the Undro River with large piles of offerings to the gods, during which they had to pass through a very narrow stretch of the river that belonged to the city-state of Garnet.

Every day a large number of ships carrying treasures passed in front of them, and this tempted and bewildered, and the nobles of the city-state of Garnet were so brain-swung that they set up cards on the river to collect the money for the passage, and collected a tenth of the offerings carried by the passing ships on pilgrimage.

This angered the public.

Soon, the three city-states downstream of the city-state of Garnet, which had been extorted for tolls, joined forces and beat the city-state of Garnet violently.

Of course, there is another important reason, the city-state of Garnet set up card fees in the upstream, which blocked the upstream trade routes.

Of course, the city-state of the Bauhinia Merchant Alliance was not happy, and took the lead in uniting the city-state of Blackwater, and the city-state of Master sent troops to fight the city-state of Garnet.

The city-state of Garnet not only spit out several times the extorted tolls, but also lost half of the land.

After eating, I found an inn in the city as a temporary place to stay.

Chen Rui first wandered around Bernie City to feel the various cultures of the Phoenicians, taste various delicacies and Phoenician customs, customs, etc., of course, the camera lens hidden in the cloth bag camouflage recorded all this. (To be continued......)
