Chapter Eighty-Seven: Cunning and Vicious Usury

Tamil was somewhat incredulous.

A few days ago, he was scratching his ears and cheeks for these two tribes, and he was at a loss, but in the blink of an eye, he stepped into the camp of the two tribes and announced the occupation.

If it weren't for the sight of goblins looting for wealth and resources like locusts, Tamil would have almost thought he was dreaming.

If in the past, goblins were not to say that they were powerful in front of barbarians, and they would have to be hammered to death as soon as they appeared.

But now, the members of the Wild Wolf Tribe and the Violent Bear Tribe lowered their eyebrows one by one, bowing their heads and ears, not daring to have the slightest disobedience.

It's not that they coax, but that the conquerors are too strong.

Have you ever seen a barbarian tribe fight with a dozen mountain giants?

That's a god descendant who is nearly 20 meters tall, let alone fighting, just stretch your legs and lift your feet, and you can dismantle the camp.

Moreover, the best fighting method of the mountain giants is to carry giant trees and stones and throw them remotely, which is basically a humanoid stone thrower and a humanoid bed crossbow.

Even in the heyday of the tribe, they had to be cautious in the face of the mountain giants, not to mention that now the elite has been completely damaged and has never been weaker.

Barbarians are poor, and even goblins can make a pitiful amount of wealth even if they scavenge for a bone-and-bone scavenging.

Except for a portion of furs, animal tendons, jerky, and all sorts of colorful ores, the remaining 90% of wealth is salt. Bought from the southern human caravans, it carried blue, black, brown impurities, and even inferior salt mixed with sea sand and mud.

This kind of inferior salt is still expensive to death, and a cow can only be exchanged for a piece the size of a sheep's head, and it is sold very hot. In the past, when Tamil had not yet obtained the system, his furious tribe often came to exchange salt.

The Wild Wolf Tribe and the Violent Bear Tribe are almost the local dealers of the southern caravans, taking goods from those human caravans, selling them on the ground, and making a lot of money.

At the same time, he obtained sophisticated weapons and armor from the southern caravans, and continued to strengthen his own strength to deter those red-eyed tribes.

This is also the reason why Tamil chose to spread rumors under the name of "salt mines", because salt is the lifeblood of these two tribes, the source of their wealth and status.

However, in Tamil's view, the two tribes had other secret missions, one that was full of malice towards the barbarians of the plateau.

"Your Majesty, a total of more than 2,000 bags of salt have been seized, which should be 3 or 40 tons, and in addition, the people who have taken refuge in us have identified several account offices."

The barbarian brought a few accounts like a chick and threw them on the ground at will.

This is humanity, the humanity of the Southern Kingdom.

They are very short, and they are taller than the hill dwarves, not even the tidal frogmen.

Barbarians are generally 2 meters tall, and 2.2 meters are not a few, and there are very few humans in the south who are generally 1.6 meters and 1.8 meters.

Moreover, the southern humans are even thinner - at least in the eyes of the barbarians, and they are not as tall as the barbarians'.

It is said that in the southern kingdom, thinness is the symbol of perfection, with skinny bones, chopstick legs, and an awl face.

!

Tamil spat out, full of contempt for the southern human kingdom, and secretly decided in his heart that one day he would correct the aesthetics of those people with his broadsword.

Tamil groped a few ledgers and loaded the language pack.

"The Wild Wolf Tribe and the Violent Bear Tribe have been selling salt for hundreds of years, how can they be so rich? Tell me, where is the money? ”

Pressing the hilt of the knife with his hand, Tamil's voice was cold, "You can choose not to say anything, or you can choose to deceive me, but as long as I find even a gold coin, you will be chopped into pieces the size of gold coins and fed to the dogs." ”

"Let's start with you, and after you finish speaking, others will help you supplement and correct it."

The account room that was named collapsed directly on the ground, "Chief ......"

"Your Majesty!" The barbarians corrected.

"Your Majesty, I am the liaison between the Bauhinia Caravan and the Wild Wolf Tribe, I dare not deceive you, it is now the end of the year, and the two families have just finished delivering the goods and settling all the accounts, so ......"

"He lied!" A person next to him said gloomily.

"Kill!"

The barbarian next to him raised his knife and slashed the first account room, his head gurgling and rolling seven or eight times, the blood in his neck sprayed three meters away, and the headless corpse spasmed and convulsed on the ground.

Tamil smiled and looked at the second person, "Say, if you don't say it right, or if you don't finish it, he's your role model." ”

The few remaining bookkeepers were all trembling, and Tamil's flat smile was a greeting from the devil and a lure from hell in their eyes.

The second accountant swallowed his saliva, and explained like a bamboo tube pouring beans: "I am the person in charge of the Silver Hammer Stone Court Chamber of Commerce, last month, the two tribes made a deal with each other, and purchased a total of 1,000 sets of iron armor, 1,600 spears, 10 dragon hunting crossbows, and 100 dragon hunting arrows. A total of 210,000 gold coins. ”

Tamil nodded, "The Wild Wolf Tribe and the Violent Bear Tribe are so stupid? Paid for the goods before they arrived? ”

To be reasonable, isn't the normal transaction all about paying a deposit first and then closing the payment?

The account room suddenly felt his scalp tingle, and out of the corner of his eye, he even saw the barbarian holding a knife next to him and began to laugh.

"It's always been like this, the arms trade is different from others, these two tribes are not qualified to bargain, and we have the final say on the rules and price."

Afraid that the barbarian king on the opposite side would cut him down, the bookkeeper hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I am responsible for the liaison and transaction of this batch of ordnance, kill me, the Chamber of Commerce will definitely detect the abnormality, and this batch of goods will be lost." With Your Majesty's wisdom, you shouldn't kill me. ”

"Well, kill it!"

"Huh? Your Majesty, this is a business worth 210,000 gold coins! Ahh

Tamil stepped on Gollum's head and looked at the remaining trembling accounts.

"The ordnance business, especially this kind of large-scale transaction, must be dominated by the big lords and nobles. An ordinary chamber of commerce, even if there is a source of goods, without the approval of the lord and nobles, he will not dare to sell it here. ”

"It's okay if you're dead, I don't think that lord or nobleman would dare to rely on me."

"Next."

The third accountant almost resigned to his fate, "I was a slave captured by the Wild Wolf Tribe when they were fighting in the Grass Valley, and I could write a few words, so they kept me to do something to write and calculate." Every year when the first snow falls, the Wild Wolf Tribe will fund those small tribes in the form of supplies and equipment, and the small tribes will go south to plunder after eating and drinking. This month, 17 families have been funded, and the total value of the materials lent out is 74,185 gold coins, and if these small tribes return with a full load, they will have to be repaid in double parts. ”

Tamil listened a little confused, the barbarians are not too sensitive to numbers, when calculating their wealth, they are all a herd of sheep and a herd of cows, instead of 8 sheep and 3 cows, and this kind of thing is too advanced to lend and collect money, Tamil listens to the big head.

Xi Tong from God's perspective scolded in his heart, the monthly interest rate is 100%, which is more Goryeo die than Goryeo die!

The barbarians can't get rid of these fancy intestines, and there is no need to think about it, it must be the poisonous ploy of the southern merchants.
