390 Cheng bites gold
Jiajing glanced at Xiusi appreciatively, and then instructed: "No matter how you say that Ghuramton is also the heir of the Gula family, don't be too lazy. ”
Renault smiled and said, "Brother Jiajing, don't worry! Glumton is still a good person, and there is no need for us to embarrass him!"
The two of them followed Ander into the courtyard, and after a few circles, they arrived in the hall of this courtyard, the courtyard rented by Renault. Although it was not as big as the courtyard they had bought in Star Picking City before, it was not much smaller, but in the eyes of a big nobleman like Ghulamton, it looked very shabby.
Of course, Ghulamton and Sugir would not show any disdain.
Seeing them coming in, Renault immediately stood up, stretched his palm to the chair on the side, his face looked a little surprised, but his mouth was smiling enthusiastically and said: "Today, the two senior brothers came to visit our brother so freely, they live in a simple house, and I hope to forgive me for not greeting them well, please sit down!"
Xiusi also stood up, smiled bitterly and said, "Senior brother is a little unwell, and he can't pay respects." ”
Grunton glanced around quickly, but he didn't find the expected master, and he was inevitably a little disappointed in his heart, but the fierce warrior who only appeared today meant that the mysterious master should be in this house, and hurriedly smiled and said: "Don't be polite, two junior brothers, we came here suddenly, I hope you don't blame us for being abrupt, Xius, how is your injury?" Do you want me to call the therapist at home to come and show you!"
Xius smiled: "It's nothing, it's just a broken bone, and it's already been treated, so there's no need to trouble Senior Brother Gullah." ”
Renault invited them to sit down and ordered the guards to serve tea, and then said with a smile: "We don't have any good wine here, we can only drink some tea, I don't know what is the matter with the senior brother?"
Grunton sighed: "Senior brother, I'll tell you the truth, I just heard that Bora is going to find trouble with the two junior brothers, Sugir and I were about to find someone to help, but we found that the people of the Potter family have been driven away by you, junior brothers, and I was surprised to come to see what was going on, and by the way, I asked if there was any useful place for senior brothers!"
Sugir took over: "The people of the Potter family will not give up, the two junior brothers have to be careful!"
Renault's performance was completely inconsistent with his age, and he looked very old: "Thanks to the kindness of the two senior brothers, we stabbed Bora with a sword, and he also broke one of Xius's arms and smashed the leg of their guards, and our guards are not necessarily intact, speaking of which, it should be our trouble with him!"
Grunton groaned, his brows furrowed: "The Potter family is one of the five major families of the empire, it's not for me to elevate myself, within the empire, the power that the five major families can use is not small at all, the junior brother beat their people, they won't reason with you, otherwise, I will let the people of the family say mercy for you!"
Hughes is younger than Renault, and now he is less than twelve years old, his mind is not as calm as Renault, and his wrist is still aching faintly, and he can't help but snort: "Looking for trouble, if we don't look for trouble for him, it's his luck!"
Grunton couldn't help but glance at Sugir and saw the surprise in each other's eyes, it seemed that there were not only one or two masters behind Xiusi and Renault, but they should be a top force that could compete with the five major families, but thinking about it, I couldn't imagine that there would be any force on the continent that had this ability.
Sugir couldn't help but say tentatively: "By the way, as senior brothers, we still don't know where you are from Renault." ”
Renault hesitated, and was about to say the address he had fabricated before, but then the door suddenly opened, and Jiajing walked in, smiling as he went: "They are my Jiajing's younger brothers, the two of you should know why the Potter family broke their legs, right?"
It turned out that Jiajing and Yan Mei were resting in the inner hall not far away, and with his current skills, the sound of a hundred meters could easily be heard in his ears, and he naturally heard the content of everyone's conversation. He heard that Grunton had a good intention, and he also had the idea of getting involved with the Gula family in his heart, and he didn't want to give the other party a feeling of being deceived, so he walked over quickly, and with his strength, dozens of meters were there in an instant.
Speaking of which, Jiajing's first impression of the Gula family was from the side of the Kasia Empire.
The Gula family is the largest trader in the Kasia Empire, controlling the three main trade routes, ostensibly trading fur specialties, but secretly having arms smuggling with the officials of the Kasia Empire, but the price is ridiculously expensive, which is not something that the Kasia Empire can easily afford.
The Potter family saw the huge benefits of trade between the Gula family and the Kasia Empire, so they put pressure on the Gula family to obtain one of the trade routes, and the two sides were fighting fiercely.
Originally, King Ocassia of Kasia didn't want to tell Jiajing the news, lest Jiajing sit on the ground and raise the price of weapons and equipment, but later, seeing that Jiajing kept his promise several times and shipped the equipment to the Kasia Empire as scheduled, he decided to terminate the military trade between them and the Gula family, and at the same time, in order to avoid causing Jiajing's misunderstanding, he specially told Jiajing the news.
After all, 10,000 or thousands of equipment was not enough to arm the entire Kasia Legion, and Okasia's idea was to obtain human craftsmen and forging and other technologies from Jiajing in the later stage. He didn't want to lose Jiajing's ally because of a misunderstanding, after all, Badaling was never short of money, even if the price of those thousands of weapons and equipment was raised, they wouldn't make much, and Ocassia saw that Jiajing would not break the contract because of this, it was better than always being exploited by the Gula family, so he generously told him.
Due to Jiajing's accession, the Gula family lost the purchase of weapons at the state level of the Kasia Empire, and could only sell them privately to the Kasia nobles, and the profits plummeted by three percent. However, although normal trade requires the payment of customs duties, and the profit per unit of goods is lower than that of smuggled mercenary caravans, the victory is that the number is huge, the three main trade routes are still controlled, and the Gula family makes a lot of money, if it is just given to the Potter family, it is absolutely impossible.
On the other hand, since the three trade routes were controlled by them, the goods of the Athena Empire could only be transported to the Kasia Empire through them. In terms of fees, the Gula family has a lot of power, if they give up one to the Potter family, with competition, the price will be difficult to guarantee, and the profit will definitely drop significantly. Therefore, even if the Potter family took out their two chambers of commerce and a slave exchange to exchange with the Gula family, and used the forces of all walks of life to exert pressure, the Gula family still ignored it.
