The First Arrival Chapter 17: Leisure Time (1)
Nearly half a month has passed since Yi Ye and his party's caravan exited the trade.
Under the guidance of Mr. Three Cans, the caravan took a shortcut and arrived at Fort Elbuk earlier, because the castle had experienced a great war and was relatively short of supplies, but it was close to the Kingdom of Vecchia, and the market had basically stabilized, and they did not earn as many dinars as they imagined.
Three cans, now it's time to call the boss of three cans, from his subordinates know that the nearest nest is very short of these supplies, because of the battle of Fort Elbuk, the Nord kingdom transported a large amount of supplies from the nest to support Fort Elbuk, but now that this castle has fallen, the trade on land is completely cut off, and the sea trade is completely unable to satisfy the people of Woche, no one wants to eat smoked fish for a month, let alone rotten bread, rotten meat.
The power of the three-pot boss in Fort Elbuk is not small, all the horses can have about fifty together, and the equipment is not bad, enough to defeat some small nobles.
The pirates near the woche were more rampant, and the boss of the three cans also sent twenty light cavalry to escort them.
Yi Ye's original idea was to go to Suggs, the capital of the Nord Kingdom, because there are always many nobles from enemy countries imprisoned, maybe there are traces of Mr. Fatis, but interests are paramount, and the ransom of the nobles is thousands of dinars, and even if he finds it, he can't redeem it.
As the hot summer approached, the rate of food decay began to accelerate, and Yi Ye and the others had to speed up.
Yi Ye finally learned to ride a horse with the help of one of the three can bosses, but in fact, this was also due to his own improvement. At present, he has invested more than 400 dinars in his caravan in Geni, and with the profit of these days, it has exceeded 500 dinars, and the salary of 1 dinar per week, he directly ignored it. Later, he bought a pack horse from a horse dealer introduced by the owner of the three cans for only 100 dinars. Although the pack horse is not very combative, it can still carry a lot of cargo, and it seems to be relatively robust.
"Three-can boss, then we're going." Yi Ye was a little reluctant.
"Mr. Yi, I thank you for saving my life, I am very happy with you, I ......" Three cans shed reluctant tears, and a three-person fat man was a little cute.
"There's no need for that, I'll trouble you in the future."
"We await you."
"So, let's go."
"Walk slowly." The three-can boss wiped a handful of snot.
"A few of you." The three-can boss pointed to his subordinates on the side.
"Protect Mr. Yi for me, understand."
"Understood!"
Under the leadership of the boss of the three cans, this caravan arrived at Wocheze in a few days, during which it encountered a small group of pirates, but there were a lot of people in this caravan, so they didn't start.
Yi Ye and the others quickly sold their goods and made a lot of money, but because they didn't bring many goods, they actually doubled, plus the accommodation fees and taxes paid, they didn't become nouveau riche.
The smoked fish, salt, and leather are much cheaper than the market price, and it will be profitable to sell them back to Kulau.
After coming into contact with the Nords, I found that they were not so barbaric, the education rate was very high, the townspeople behaved more elegantly, and the tavern rooms were tidy, but they were a bunch of crazy people who started fighting, and it was said that they were influenced by some sect, and no one could say what sect it was.
Passing by the equipment store, Nord's Germanic God of War Helmet is so shiny, with it, you don't have to say anything, you are already a great warrior, Yi Ye wants one very much, but the price makes people feel unreachable.
The weather had become hot, and the caravan was a little restless, and had slept in the daytime, except for the horses, which had been faithfully escorted by the twenty light cavalry before reaching the border of Vicchia, and had avoided a lot of trouble.
Hot weather, restless people......
I don't know how long it took, Yi Ye felt a little cold, and only then did he get up smartly. At this time, the captain of the light cavalry was bidding farewell to the caravan, and before leaving, he glanced at Yi Ye meaningfully. During this time, in addition to eating some smoked fish bread and satisfying his physiological needs, Yi Ye was lying in the carriage and closing his eyes to recuperate, not that he was too lazy, but he was not familiar with the summer of Calradia.
Entering the territory of Vekia, Yi Ye seemed to have arrived in heaven, and his whole person was in a lot of spirits, and he even put on a cotton coat.
At this time, Yi Ye realized how important it was to have a house in the Kingdom of Vekia.
When he returned to Kulau on June 16, Yi Ye's fortune was already a little more than 800 dinars, which were enough for him to live a decent life as a squire if his pursuit was not great.
Yi Ye said goodbye to Genie's caravan here, not because they had caused any conflict, but because they had made enough money to do what they had to do - slaughter the Snow Bandits.
It is said that when they were young, they accompanied their parents, a team of bounty hunters, to encounter a group of snowy bandits on a snowy mountain in the northeast, and their parents captured these robbers after the battle, giving the robbers a chance to mend their ways, but these robbers who pretended to be good found an opportunity to kill the bounty force, and at the last moment, the three brothers and sisters were pushed off the cliff by their father, but fortunately, the cliff was not high, and the wind and snow were relatively heavy, and the three brothers and sisters were soon buried, and they were found by the villagers who later went up the mountain to collect medicine, so they were rescued.
Due to the relationship between the owners of the three cans, they finished the trip without much trouble.
In the future, if Yi Ye follows this route to trade, the risk will be minimized, but the profit will not be so big.
The scorching summer made him have to stay in the comfort of Vicchia, although he wanted to leave to find his companions, but the summer in Calradia was so stuffy that he couldn't breathe, and the temperature was acceptable, but the oxygen content in the air dropped sharply, and he couldn't adapt to the environment.
With eight hundred dinars in hand, it's time to think about the rest of your life.
However, it is more embarrassing that this no more than no less dinar can do nothing in the city, neither can afford to buy a house, nor can he recruit many people, now at most he can form a small caravan, and now he needs an agent.
Luckily, Yi Ye was soon found, and his name was Manid.
It was dusk, a man in white walked into the tavern in despair, his clothes were ragged, his connections seemed to be good, many people also teased him, it could be seen that he was a down-and-out businessman, Yi Ye felt that his opportunity had come.
Although Manid knew many people, a down-and-out merchant had no interest in them, and naturally no one was willing to cooperate with him anymore.
"Friend, would you like a drink? I ask you," Yi Ye stepped forward to speak.
"Yes, good sir, my name is Manid."
"My name is Yi Ye."
"So, Mr. Yi Ye, do you have something to do, shouldn't you also come to mock me?"
"Of course not, can you tell me what's going on?"
"I am a businessman, I have done business in various countries, although the profit is not high, but thank God, we merchants are not a loss if they are not robbed, even if the tax rate is high...... Not long ago, I had brought a few wagons of goods from Gronia to go to Sagos for business, but as I passed through Kugit I was robbed by a troop of ringing horses, and my guards ran away when they saw that the situation was not good, and I could do nothing but leave the precious goods for the ringing horses. ”
"I don't think a true merchant would be unaware that the Kugit Khanate has always been in turmoil."
"Yes, sir, but you don't know, even if I take a detour from the kingdom of Svadia or the kingdom of Salander, my situation is not much better. This is a long journey, and we will pass through many places, and the taxes of these two countries are too much for us to bear, and with so many goods through dozens of cities, I am afraid that our wallets will dry up before we reach Sagos. ”
"Besides, I know more about the situation of Kujitt's horses, so I'll tell you a secret." Manid leaned closer to Yi Ye and whispered.
"Many of Hibiki horses are connected to the lords of Kujit."
"No wonder these ringing horses are so rampant."
"Actually, I planned the route before I set out, and I spent some dinars to get it from a lord of one lord, and when the time comes, he will order his ringing horses to make way for us."
"Then why are you still ......" Yi Ye was surprised.
"I don't know the specifics, but it's very likely that they were blacked out, those lords, on the surface, speak softly, and none of them behind the scenes are not ruthless."
"Mr. Manid, do I have a proposal to hear?"
"What a proposal."
"I have eight hundred dinars on hand, maybe you can take advantage of them."
"You mean, let me go into business?"
"That's right."
"As a merchant, I'd love to, but I'll say that I can't protect your dinar if you encounter a robber or a ringing horse or something like that."
"I have a safe route now."
"Let's hope it's really safe." Manid sighed.
"As for your salary, how about twenty percent of your profits."
"Very generous terms, Mr. Yi Ye, you trust me so much, I will definitely do my job well."
"By the way, help me get news of Mr. Fatis."
"It's a pleasure to work with, Mr. Manid."
"Happy cooperation, Mr. Yi Ye."
After that, Manid hurried out to shop.
If he changed to someone else, Yi Ye didn't dare to put all his belongings on him, and Yi Ye was still impressed by the name Manid.
Yi Ye wrote a letter to the owner of the three cans in Fort Elbuk, and was going to trouble him again, it was too important to have a few good friends in this continent or no matter where it was.
This summer resort will soon be flooded with a large number of people.
