073 Traveling merchants
Between the peaks in the east, there is a large mountain.
It is surrounded by a high cliff, with only a stone castle standing on top of the hill.
In front of and behind the castle, there are two hanging gates, which connect to other gently sloping peaks, so that they can be contacted by the outside world.
Hundreds of people live in this castle, called Anchaira.
The castle's hostess, now Grand Duke Tiger, Chobilo Tiger, watches as her knights move some of the collection out of her father's favorite storage room.
The collection will be handed over to the traveling merchants from the New Town in exchange for some goods needed by the castle of Amchala.
Good seeds, good farming tools, sharp weapons and hard armor.
It's all about what the castle desperately needs.
As a nobleman, she did not buy any kind of luxury that she had to enjoy.
It is the fearless dedication of two generations of Grand Dukes that the knights under their hands will always follow their Tiger family.
Even after the death of her eloquent father, the knights did not abandon her as a weak woman.
"Bang dang..."
Two burly knights stumbled a large bronze statue to the ground.
Seeing Qiao Biluo's concerned gaze, the two knights also looked a little embarrassed.
One of the bearded men said, "It's rude to the Grand Duke, this bronze statue is indeed too heavy." ”
Qiao Biluo looked at the bronze statue that smashed a groove in the floor, and she didn't blame the two of them.
After all, looking at the damaged floor, you know that this thing is really not light.
She said to the two of them, "You can move something else first, and I'll come here." ”
As he spoke, Qiao Biluo lifted his skirt and walked in front of the bronze statue that was as tall as a person.
Her two big hands like a fan hugged the bronze statue.
"Up!"
Qiao Biluo burst into a shout, and several knights around him felt that their ears were ringing, and their eyes were full of stars.
I saw that the muscles all over her body were instantly congested, and the green tendons were exposed.
The bear-like waist suddenly exerted force, and directly pulled the huge bronze statue from the ground, and then carried it on his shoulder.
"Boom.... Boom...."
Giobilo walked away with heavy steps.
The two knights behind him looked at Qiao Biluo's back and looked at each other, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
The Tiger family, sure enough, can only continue to grow and develop under the leadership of such a fierce man.
"Boom!"
Qiao Biluo pestled the bronze statue directly in front of the traveling merchant, and several stone slabs were directly smashed.
She patted the bronze statue in front of her.
"You can take this kind of big guy too, right?"
The merchant looked at the idol and then at the objects around him.
The goods that the Tiger family moved out to trade were all quite large items.
But that didn't stump the Luo family.
You Shang smiled and said: "Collect, of course accept, it's just.... Is that all? ”
The Luo family is not only eyeing the Tiger family's collection, but also their family's secret cultivation method: the Silver Section Body Technique.
Although it is not particularly strong, Rhodes's attitude towards the collection of knowledge has always been due to the collection of everything.
Instead of answering directly, Qiao Biluo said, "You first calculate how much these can be worth." ”
I saw a few assistants standing around the traveling merchants, and they immediately stepped forward to sort out the goods.
Tearing open the coat that wrapped the collection, revealing the true body of the collection inside.
Several assistants played with the collection up and down, carefully analyzing the age and workmanship of these things.
This deduces a price that they think is reasonable.
Qiao Biluo stood to the side, holding his arms and watching quietly.
The drawbridge at the entrance has been pulled up, and the surrounding knights have been secretly hidden.
If these dog-talking wanderers dare to lie to me, then let them taste the Iron Fist of Tiger's Justice!
That's a fist the size of a casserole!
The traveling merchant's men did not delay long before they finished counting all the goods.
Listening to the report of his subordinates, the traveling merchant fiddled with the abacus in his hand: "It's a total of.... 425 taels. ”
Qiao Biluo frowned when he heard the figures reported by the traveling merchants.
She was young when her father collected these items, but she also knew that she had paid a lot of money to get them.
When comparing the two numbers, the difference is one in the sky and one in the ground.
Qiao Biluo was instantly furious, his fists clattering.
Damn, these dog-called traveling merchants are really treacherous.
And before Qiao Biluo could get angry, the wandering merchant spoke.
"Don't be too small, your goods are very large and extremely troublesome to transport."
"That is, the first time I make a transaction, I am willing to buy you at a loss, and if you are replaced by other forces, you are afraid that you will not be able to sell a single one."
You Shang was not in a hurry, so he quietly waited for Qiao Biluo to reply.
Giobilo took a deep breath.
She thought about it for a moment, and it seemed that this was indeed what the wandering merchant said.
But she had inquired with the traveling merchant about the purchasing power of the silver taels before, and the number of 425 taels was even worse than she imagined.
"Add a little more, it's too little."
Hearing Qiao Biluo's words, You Shang said with a smile:
"It's not that I don't want to add it, now that monsters are frequent in the Far West, many of the traveling merchants I know don't know where they are buried.
I'm risking my head to keep going, and you shouldn't have seen any other traveling merchants besides me, right? ”
Qiao Biluo knew that having said that, she couldn't just follow the words of the wandering merchant.
If no other traveling merchant comes to the door, this person will become an exclusive business, and this person will not be able to sit on the ground and raise the price?
She retorted, "No, there are other merchants who have come to my castle of Anchala, and their prices are much higher than yours. ”
You Shang smiled, but did not debunk it.
"Then you can change to a batch of easy-to-carry collections, those things don't take up space and are easy to carry, I will definitely give you a higher price."
At this time, it was Giobilo who was silent.
These large things, not to mention that they haven't seen a traveling merchant for so many years, even if they do, it is estimated that they will not accept them like this person.
In this world, the collection no longer has much meaning, and it cannot be eaten or drunk.
Moreover, it is so large that it is very difficult to transport it through mountains and rivers.
It's something you can only throw away when you're in danger.
It is better to sell them today and exchange them for urgently needed materials, so that the people under his command can be developed.
After thinking about it for a while, Qiao Biluo relented.
"Okay, these items will be at your price, and I'll let someone take some other items."
With that, Qiao Biluo turned and walked towards the house.
The traveling merchant was not idle.
He beckoned to the children who were peeking around.
"Come on, uncle, bring you candy."
There was some commotion among the children, but none of them stepped forward.
Not long after, a somewhat thin child was pushed out.
Somewhat bewildered, he walked up to the wandering merchant.
He is dirty, with a pair of big eyes and a very spiritual look.
You Shang fondly touched his head.
"What a good boy."
As he spoke, he took out a piece of candy from his pocket and stuffed it into the child's mouth.
"Hmm!"
Feeling the sugar bloom between his lips and tongue, the child's eyes immediately widened.
As an orphan, it is common for him not to have enough to eat, and where has he ever eaten such a good thing.
Seeing that there was no problem, the other children also gathered around the wandering merchants.
"I want it too, I want it too!"
"Good, good, it's all there."
