Section 69 Miller's courage to sell horses and enter the imperial capital

After returning to the convoy, Mompot told Miller what had happened. Despite his detailed explanations, Miller still complained, reminding Mompot: "In these extraordinary times, we still don't need to cause anything else. ”

Mompot humbly accepted the criticism, but was still in a good mood. He lay down in the carriage and fell asleep in the blink of an eye. In the dream, Fiona is wearing a black dress with fair skin showing between the necklines. She kept waving at Monpot with a smile on her face, and her big charming eyes made Montpot intoxicated! Fiona then stood on the prairie and danced for him, much to the amuse of Montpot.

With the token of the Prince's Mansion of Warkass, Miller and Mompot led the mighty convoy through the western fortress of Luo Khan with a swagger, and arrived at the imperial capital of Visa, on the west side!

The token of the Prince's Mansion is really very good, and even the guards of Visal City are very respectful to them, and enthusiastically open the way for them.

This was the first time he had come to a foreign city-state, and it was also the imperial capital of Tubis. The streets and alleys were crowded with Tubis people, who looked at the strange Knight convoy with great curiosity, and everyone had a surprised expression on their faces, and they gathered to watch the excitement.

When they came to bring the enemy capital, Miller and Mompot did not dare to be careless, they did not dare to go anywhere, and directly led the convoy to the market south of Visa.

As a pure trader, Miller was very experienced, and he was not in a hurry to sell these precious goods, but first went to the market to find out the price of the goods. Later, Miller compared the local prices, set up a stall on the spot and began to sell goods, and for a time the stall was crowded and business was booming.

Vesal hadn't seen a Knight caravan in two years, and all of these scarce goods had been snapped up in just one afternoon, and there were many late Tubis nobles who had to sigh and return empty-handed.

In the evening, Miller took everyone to a restaurant. Miller and Mompot lived in the same room, and Miller sat in front of several large wooden boxes, counting the gold coins he had earned, with a happy smile on his face.

Montpot smiled and said, "Lord Miller is really good at trading, this point is so clear. ”

"Of course!" Miller replied with a triumphant smile: "In this world, the Tubisi people have the best money, and they lack everything here." You see the silk and cloth we bought from Huiyuan, and when we sold them at a high price, we made nearly three times the profit. And those flour and wine, earn more. With the gold coins given by Duke Thatcher, we now have more than 30,000 gold coins in our hands. ”

After saying that, Miller said to Montpot quipped: "I said Monpot, if we escape with these gold coins, and then find a place with few people to live in peace!" Do you think Thatcher and Prince Rearton are going to be half angry with us? ”

Montpot smiled and said, "Where there are few people, it must be a remote and poor place, and it is useless to give us so many gold coins." I can't sell anything I want to buy, so what's the use of asking for so many gold coins. ”

Miller nodded and said, "That's what I said." Ouch, that's a lot of gold, and my eyes are dazzled to see it. ”

Montpot reminded Miller, "In the savage's territory, we'd better keep the matter of Knight less. You better think about it first, people say that you can't sell horses, and it's useless for us to earn so many gold coins, so what should we do? ”

"Who said it was useless!" Miller reached out and threw all the gold coins into the chest, then closed the lid and said, "To-morrow accompany me to the bazaar to see their leathers, and by the way get some more carriages." ”

Montpot was a little puzzled, but he knew that Miller should have something in mind, so he didn't ask much. After a busy day, Mompot was really tired, and he fell asleep with his head up.

For the rest of the day, Miller didn't care about the horses, but only asked about the price of those leather products, and replaced more carriages everywhere, and it seemed that he really planned to buy a large number of leather products.

When Miller's huge caravan arrived in Visa, they sold a lot of goods and then prepared to buy more leather, and for a time the city was full of turmoil, and soon the ministers of the empire began to pay attention.

One morning, a large group of imperial guards suddenly surrounded the entire restaurant, and detained Miller and Mompot. The leader was an Imperial Chancellor dressed in fancy attire, who ordered the guards to immediately take Miller and Mompot into their cells. Although Miller showed the Prince's token in time, the nobleman did not seem to appreciate it, and not only let them continue to take them away, but also confiscated Miller's Prince's Mansion token.

This man is the first powerful minister of the Tubis Empire, his name is Byron, he is forty-three this year, he is the first duke of the empire, and his status in the empire is similar to that of Connor in the Knight Kingdom. Byron's disregard for the face of the Prince's Mansion and such an obvious seizure of Miller and them was done by Byron out of his own strategic considerations.

For a long time, Byron and Warkas had a grudge over political differences, and the two had many public quarrels in the palace hall, and they were very unhappy for a while. Since Warkas is the prince of the empire and is the younger brother of the current king of Lhoga VI, the king will follow Warkass's advice in everything, which makes Byron very unhappy in the political arena. Byron was annoyed by the snub, and was always looking for an opportunity to trip up Prince Warkas.

Knowing that a Knight caravan had come to the imperial capital to trade with the tokens of the Prince's Palace, Byron immediately took action and arrested him with his people and cars.

In the palace garden of Visa, Byron reported in righteous words: "Your Majesty, Warkas connived at the Nate merchants to sell goods in my Visa, and even gave them a pass pass to the Prince's Palace. The fact that this caravan, led by two young men who were only fifteen or sixteen years old, but who had a thousand carriages, was very suspicious. Since this matter involves the Prince, and his subordinates do not dare to make their own decisions, he has come to ask His Majesty the King, hoping that His Majesty will order the severe punishment of these treacherous Knight merchants to prevent future troubles. ”

The Luojia Dynasty glanced at him with disdain, and while admiring the flowers, he asked slowly, "Then what kind of goods did they come to my empire to sell?" ”

Byron was stunned when he heard this, the king was not angry, and it seemed that this matter was probably a little hanging. Byron hesitated for a moment, but still replied truthfully: "They sold nearly a thousand carts of flour and wine, and three hundred carts of silk and cloth in the southern bazaar, and earned more than 30,000 gold coins. ”

King Luojia was slightly surprised when he heard this, and he sighed and said, "Wow, it seems that this vendor is not small, so what kind of goods are they all buying in my Visa?" ”

Byron replied: "They are desperately buying more wagons, and they are asking around about the price of fur products, presumably buying a large amount of leather to bring back to Knight." These materials can be used to make riding boots and armor, which are necessary materials for the Knights, and they have to be guarded against, Your Majesty. ”

"Hmm!" After hearing this, King Lhoga rebuked: "It's good that you don't know how to live and die, and you actually play such a trick right under my nose!" Go and bring me the two vendors to the main hall, and I will interrogate them myself. ”

After hearing this, Byron replied on one knee again and again: "Yes, your majesty is wise!" ”。

In the palace hall of the imperial capital, King Lhoga VI sat high on the throne of the king and shouted at Miller, who was kneeling at the foot of the steps: "Well, you arrogant trader, you dare to come to my Visa, to smuggle the materials used by the Knights, and steal the tokens of our Prince. You've grown a few heads, don't you get tired of being alive? ”

This unexpected change made Miller at a loss for a while, this plan is really not as fast as the change, I didn't expect that even the token of the Prince's Mansion would not be easy to use.

In desperation, Miller reluctantly cleared his head, and he replied fearfully, "My Majesty, I have not stolen the Prince's token. When I came, I made an agreement with the prince in the royal capital that I would bring more food and iron tools to the empire when I returned this time. That's why the Prince gave me this token so that it would be easier for us to come to the Empire to sell goods. ”

"Huh?" After hearing this, King Lhoga fell into deep thought, his brows tightened, and after thinking for a while, he asked, "According to you, it was the prince who agreed to you to come to the empire to sell goods?" But I have heard that you are also inquiring about the price of horses, and that it is forbidden to sell horses to Knight, which is an order of the Prince himself. Isn't that a contradiction in what you say? Call me how to trust you. ”

Miller was stunned for a moment, pondered for a moment, and then replied, "But Your Majesty, we have only wanted to buy some fur products in Visa, but we have kept the agreement with the Prince." We can't pull much cargo with our carts and horses, so I'd like to buy some more wagons and horses in Vishalt to pull some more cargo back to us at once. I didn't think of selling horses, Your Majesty! ”

Byron was furious when he heard this, pointed at Miller and roared: "It doesn't matter whether you sell horses or not, the key is that those leather goods can be daily necessities, and can also be used as military quartersupplies for the Knights." You always confess, who sent you? ”

After hearing this, Miller immediately fell to the ground and explained in fear: "Wronged, Your Majesty." I'm just a pure businessman, and my purpose is to make money. Historically, this vendor has never returned empty, otherwise we would not have made a profit. We are really just pure traders, the conscience of heaven and earth! ”

Byron disagreed, and continued to reply to the king: "This guy can speak well, Your Majesty, you must not listen to his nonsense, the prince is wise and powerful, how can he have an agreement with them." ”

After hearing this, King Luoga looked at Byron in a daze, and after thinking for a while, he said, "No, this matter may have really been arranged by the prince. Since the outbreak of the Crusades, the trade routes with Knight have been completely cut off, and our empire is now in dire need of food and iron tools. To tell you the truth, even I haven't eaten bread for a long time, and it was only yesterday that I ate the fragrant bread this morning after buying a hundred carts of flour from the market. If you look at our herdsmen, which family's leather is not piled up with tents? It seems that it is really not possible to trade without merchants, thanks to the Prince's thoughtfulness. ”

Byron was anxious when he heard this, and he continued to explain: "Your Majesty, don't be careless, you see that these two merchants are so young, there must be something wrong here. ”

Before the king could speak, Miller muttered, "What's wrong with being young, I started selling goods in the royal capital ten years ago!" ”

Byron was stunned when he heard this, and he immediately asked, "What is your name, and who are you?" ”

Miller replied casually: "I am Miller of Uba Town, and I sold all the Uba wines in the royal capital in the past. ”

After hearing this, King Luojia said cheerfully, "Oh, you are Miller, I have heard your name. Tut-tut, no wonder it's so exciting, it turned out to be Miller from Uba Town, you kid can do it. ”

After saying this, the king of Luojia raised his head and laughed, which made Miller and Mompot confused, not knowing what he meant.
