Chapter 222, Caravan
Even during the day, there is still a lot of noise in the bar.
More than a dozen Vajra armor wrestlers are patrolling the streets, and if anyone dares to make trouble here, the wooden poles erected behind the gate will be their day's home.
At this time, there were two naked human bodies hanging from the wooden pole, and they were desperately begging for mercy, but the mercenaries guarding under the wooden pole did not pay any attention to it, and always paid attention to the vomit of the two drunks not falling on themselves.
Arriving at the mayor's mansion, Terrance was discussing the price with several merchants at this time, and when he saw Jia Kedao coming in, he hurriedly got up and saluted.
And the merchants also followed in a panic and saluted Jia Kedao: "May the great god of wealth bless your territory with eternal prosperity." â
This is a believer in Grandius, the god of wealth?
Relevant memories immediately appeared in Jia Kedao's mind.
Grandius, the god of wealth, is the god of most merchants on the continent, and it is said that this god is in charge of the two rich priesthoods of wealth and commerce.
Well, it can only be said that it is rich, not powerful, no way, this god of wealth is said to be a god before he was a god, when he was still a mortal, his combat power was known as scum, so how he was a god is also a secret.
Wealth, business? How can there be no contract?
It seems that the belief in this god of wealth is not very strong.
Jia Kedao smiled and asked a few merchants to sit down: "What I believe in is the great god of the land. â
And Terrance also explained at this time: "Lord Mingyang is the earthly spokesman of the great land god. â
As soon as Terrance said this, several merchants stood up again in shock and bowed to Jacodao.
These businessmen traveled far and wide, and their knowledge of the churches was by no means comparable to that of ordinary people.
Although the great land god has not been heard of by several people, any god, even an evil god, is at least a chief priest whose earthly spokesperson.
Big shots like this. How dare a few lowly businessmen sit in front of each other?
Jia Kedao guessed one thing correctly.
The god of wealth, Grandius, is said to be weak in combat, and it is also a joke for the organization of believers.
It has been more than 3,000 years since the true gods and gods have been canonized, and the beliefs under their banners are still loose, and they have not gathered a church organization with a high degree of execution.
To put it bluntly, there were many merchants who believed in this god of wealth, Grandius, but these merchants were not organized, at most the merchants of a region united to worship this god when necessary.
That's a far cry from his gods.
Of course. This is also due to the nature of the businessman.
For the vast majority of normal businessmen, it is an irrefutable truth to make a big profit with a small capital.
And no businessman would want his capital, that is, his capital, to be controlled by other businessmen.
These two points prevented the merchants from uniting together to form a unified church.
Well, the essence of the church is the same regardless of the god it is.
That is to gather the power of believers to defend the faith of the gods and judge heresy.
This is in conflict with the habit of merchants who can even betray their ancestors if necessary.
Of course, in the absence of a unified church, the greed of the merchants made them very popular among the people, and since their reputation was very poor. Without a solid background, the status of a businessman can be imagined.
Especially now that they have come to an unfamiliar territory, facing the supreme ruler of this territory and the spokesman of a god, the fear of the merchants can be imagined.
Jia Kedao was more kind and talked with a few businessmen for a while. After learning a little about the situation, he asked Terrance to continue communicating with the other party, and he took his disciples to visit around.
After a long time, Terrance was finally done. He came to see Jia Kedao and gave a detailed introduction to the caravan's comings and goings.
The arrival of the caravan was a good start for the town of Hope.
The first caravan alone will buy up all the loot allocated to Hope Town. Makes Terrance happy for a few days.
Although Hope Town now has support from the Aoki Valley, and there is no shortage of food and even other necessities, Terrance does not want to be like this all the time, in that case, wouldn't it seem a little too incompetent.
The gold coins obtained from the sale of captured weapons, jewelry, etc., were returned to the caravans in the blink of an eye.
Food was the main purchase, but in addition to this, there was salt, leather, and some herbs brought by the caravan, and even ten slave girls.
From this moment on, hopefully the town will be partially self-sufficient.
The ten slave girls were purchased by Trenster to reward the good King Kong armor wrestlers and even the mercenaries.
Hearing this, Jia Kedao frowned, not that he felt that there was a problem with the slave's existence, but that he had found a problem.
Whether it's Hope Town or Aoki Valley, there is a question of zĂ i.
The ratio of men to women is strictly out of balance.
Aoki Valley is a little better, among the more than 400 people, there are about 80 women, and the hope town is all young and strong men.
Now I can't see anything under the high-pressure policy, at most it's just a fight to vent, and after a long time, those young people who are vigorously secreted hormones may cause trouble.
Although Jia Kedao has not endured this kind of torment, as a man, he can also understand the truth.
Not to mention anything else, just to make this place develop normally, women are absolutely indispensable concoctors.
"Ten slave girls, how is it enough?"
Jacodao smiled and asked Terrance to bring all the merchants over.
I heard that the actual ruler of the land, the earthly spokesman of the gods, a powerful priest, invited his merchants to come and discuss important matters.
Merchants were busy, preparing gifts, washing and changing, and so on.
In the camp of the caravan, there are occasional voices of urging.
"Quick, find out the dress I made in Wangcheng!"
"Hurry up, tap, the things in here are broken, even if you sell your whole family, you can't afford to pay for it!"
"Be careful, do you want me to give the broken gift to the Priestess?"
After a period of confusion, the merchants began to gather at the mayor's mansion one by one, and gave the gifts they had carefully selected to the chief priest while being received by the chief priest.
In the eyes of these merchants, if they can make friends with this priest, they will be able to do business in this area in the future.
Many of the merchants in it have been in Hope Town for a while.
Don't look at the small scale of Hope Town, but the strength is absolutely strong, the residents inside are all with the blood of a fighting man, you can know at a glance that it has been stained with human blood, especially those strong men patrolling the streets, I heard that they actually defeated the Wang army of more than 3,000 people with 50 people!
