Twilight, as a place to sell stolen goods, is also a place where underground mercenaries are very active, and less than two days after Tom Sr. left, it happened to be in time for an underground auction. The underground auction in Twilight is actually a way to transfer the stolen goods, but the first level of the stolen goods is transferred to the second level, so that the goods basically have a legal source.

A roll of silk, almost twenty meters long, sold for two hundred and sixty gold coins directly at auction after being appreciated by many experts. The guy who received Old Tom's silk earned sixty gold coins in just two days, without even leaving Twilight City, and everyone who watched it was envious. Fortunately, everyone was assured by Old Tom that silk was still in supply, otherwise they might have rushed it on the spot regardless of the rules.

Five days later, at a dinner party of the nobility of the Duchy, a certain marquise dressed in a silk dress amazed the audience, and almost in a few days, the name of silk had spread throughout the upper echelons of the Duchy.

For a while, those noble ladies and celebrities seemed to be crazy looking for these precious silks. And those guys in Twilight are already looking at the desert outside the city at this moment, and they are almost looking forward to it. The dignitaries behind him were urging them a few times a day, and they couldn't wait to come here in person to supervise them to get the silk in their hands immediately.

When a large crowd of people with mercenary backpacks appeared in the desert, the people of Twilight felt like they had seen a savior. Far away from the city, those mercenaries were startled by the momentum shown by the buyers who swarmed out of the city, and a few of them even turned around and ran away without hesitation. Their actions also drove the mercenaries who followed behind, all of whom were brushing in unison.

"Don't go, don't go, we're here to buy silk!" the buyer who was chasing after him, how could he not understand the reason for the actions of these people, and hurriedly shouted. Their shouts also made those mercenaries slowly relax and stop running away.

In this large-scale long-distance cross-desert trafficking, Old Tom played a crucial role. He united a bunch of mercenaries to form a powerful organization that was not afraid of sand thieves for the time being, and then everyone pooled money to sweep away the few silks that had just been produced in Meng Han's hands, and happily killed them to Twilight City, just to earn another vote. Unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived, they received such a grand "welcome" ceremony from Twilight, which naturally frightened them all the way.

After understanding the truth of the matter, the buyers generously promised to increase the price of the silk by 5 percent as a contiguous fee. Subsequently, the silk purchased in Huangsha Town with hundreds of gold coins became a forbidden place in the hands of a group of buyers. As for how to distribute it, it is natural to let them go by themselves, the mercenaries in Huangsha Town, after getting a heavy amount of gold coins, no longer doubted Old Tom's words, and after quickly replenishing the provisions, they didn't care about it and returned immediately.

One more trip, you can earn a lot of more gold coins, and they also know from the attitude of the buyers just now, silk is now simply a good thing with no price, such a good thing, if you go back a moment late, will it be bought first, no one is sure, all you think in your mind, all you want is to hurry up and make money.

At this time, the mercenaries, who did not know the madness caused by silk in this country, nor did they know that the reputation of silk had slowly begun to flow to the entire continent with the upper nobles of this country.

The group of people who crossed the desert were lucky, and when they were united, even the sand pirates did not dare to do anything to them. But the other group was not as fortunate as they were.

Meng Han had already told these people when he was selling silk that if the things in Huangsha Town passed through Stormwind City, there would be only one end, that is, the things would be confiscated and the people would be seized. Old Tom they believe it, but there are always a group of people in this world who will not believe it except themselves. Meng Han's kindness turned into an excuse for him to deliberately make up such a story in order to run this easy trade route for himself.

Adrian now has the apparent backing of the Mercenary Guild, and the blockade of Sand Town has begun to become unscrupulous. As long as the people who came from the direction of Huangsha Town, they were all investigated, and even the people from the mercenary guild who left from Meng Han were investigated once. Fortunately, his subordinates recognized those people and dealt with them in time, so as not to make the people of the Mercenary Guild turn their faces.

The people of the Mercenary Guild have a backstage, but these guys who got the silk don't have such good strength and luck. When the city guards surrounded them violently and looted their belongings, these people began to regret that what the lord said was all true. It's a pity that no matter which world it is, there is no regret that the medicine is delicious.

Fortunately, these people were not detained, but were directly driven out of Stormwind City after the Lord of Stormwind used various reasons to loot all the valuable things on their bodies. Of course, from the side facing Huangsha Town.

City Lord Adrian had even thought that as long as he could blockade Huangsha Town for half a year to a year, the people there would definitely be trapped alive by him. There was no other way but to kneel and beg for his forgiveness. When the time comes, the lord of that hateful Yellow Sand Town, Adrian must make him look good. At the very least, Meng Han had to die, otherwise, he couldn't let go of the fact that the city guards of more than 500 people were killed.

However, after these looted guys ran back to Huangsha Town without tears, their experience immediately became a living lesson for everyone, and no one would get away with shipping through Stormwind City. At this time, the Stormwind City Lord didn't realize that the white cloth that his wolf-like warriors had captured was a precious thing, but he just casually gave the gold coins he had looted to himself, and those things were divided among his subordinates.

By the time the Mercenary Guild began to recruit quarrymen in Yellow Sands, a regular trade route had formed in the desert. Ever since I heard the words Silk Road from the mouth of the lord that day, the name has spread among the treasure hunters, and then it has become the official name of this newly discovered trade route.

Meng Han can receive a lot of spider silk from the elves every day, but not many of these spider silks have become mature silk after processing, and Meng Han's current weavers are not skilled, so the output of silk has not been able to rise. But this also directly caused the supply of silk to be far from meeting the demand of the market, even in Huangsha Town, those original mercenaries and current merchants who wanted to get silk earlier even took the initiative to increase the price and bid to obtain the limited right to purchase silk in Meng Han's hands.

Alice was very sensitive to this and immediately came to discuss with Meng Han. This kind of preemptive right is more appropriate to grasp in your own hands.

"No!no!no!" Meng Han shook his head and said three words in a row: "We don't sell the right of first refusal, we only sell silk." ”

"Why, my lord!" Alice didn't understand why Meng Han wanted to give this great opportunity to make money to others for nothing, if this part of the income was in his hands, the profit of silk would never be just that.

"Because we need these people to withstand the pressure for us. Meng Han smiled, pulled Alice to sit on his lap, hugged her in his arms, and gently sniffed the fragrance of Alice's hair: "If we get all the benefits, then we will be the target of everyone, and all attacks will be directed at us." But if we give up that part of the profits, those people will fight for it, and no one will touch our most basic industries. ”

"But what if some of the great nobles' merchant groups take a fancy to silk?" Alice was still a little worried. If you don't take advantage of this time to make enough money, you always seem to feel unsure.

"The silk of the jungle spider is in my hands, and no one can snatch it away. Meng Han smiled: "My price remains the same, whoever buys it will be at this price, and when the time comes, these people will still fight for the right to supply first." These are not in my hands, whoever likes to fight will go, we just need to make a fortune in silence. No matter who fights, he can't lose our money. Besides, if I don't want someone to fight for it, what can he do if I don't give him the goods? I have never recognized this so-called right of first refusal. ”

"I see, sir. Alice's eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on her face: "We have never admitted it, but we have never denied it, if it is a normal person bidding, then we will give the goods, if it is someone we don't like, then we will not give the goods, we can attack, and we can retreat." ”

That's what it means. Meng Han hugged Alice's arm slightly, and Alice leaned almost completely on Meng Han's body: "It's really worthy of my lovely housekeeper." ”

"You're amazing, sir!" Alice couldn't help but compliment.

"Do you still call me sir?" Meng Han strangled Alice's waist with some dissatisfaction: "Call me Tony." ”

"Tony. Hearing Meng Han say this, Alice's body seemed to stiffen suddenly, and then returned to normal.

Meng Han didn't feel Alice's strangeness, continued to lean into Alice's ear, and said softly to her: "When the silk trade is stable, we will arrange the wedding, and I will prepare the most unforgettable wedding for you, so that you will remember it for the rest of your life." ”

"Okay!" Alice turned her back to Meng Han, leaning her body completely on Meng Han's body, enjoying the warm feeling brought to her by Meng Han's hug, but her eyes revealed a sense of attachment and reluctance.
