Chapter 261: Monopolized Cotton
"Look, my lord, there is the Yevon Forest, after here, we will enter the Good Luck Gorge, which is sandwiched between the Don Hills and the Good Luck Tooth Mountains, after the Good Luck Gorge, the Black Feather Bridge is not far away." The halfling leader pointed to the north shore, the large forest road.
In the distance, you can see the tall silhouettes of the forest trees, and you can see the history at a glance.
Gavin had previously had the intention of enlightening some of the Enlightenment Trees in the Yevon Forest, and assisting him in the development of the Vizeme Manor, preferably by the way, with a few Tree Men in mind.
However, all kinds of things are piled up, and I haven't been able to find time.
But it's a matter of time before you come here.
After entering the Good Luck Gorge, the water flow did not change too significantly, except that the scenery on both sides turned into mountains.
Because the two mountain ranges are not very close together, there are quite a few flat areas on both sides.
As soon as the Good Luck Gorge came out, the boats on the Ashaba River suddenly increased.
The further down you go, the more ships there are, especially when you reach the left side of the Black Feather Bridge.
On both sides of the Ashaba River, all kinds of boats are densely piled up.
There are halflings of this type of houseboat, as well as flat fishing boats, and occasionally a few luxury yachts, and the largest of them is a relatively narrow keelboat.
Without Gavin asking, Avery took the initiative to explain: "This kind of ship, called the Feather Boat, is not named because it is produced in the Feather Valley, but because it resembles the Feather Valley, this kind of ship does not carry a lot of cargo, but it is light and agile, and the speed is very fast, and it is the most commonly used clipper ship in the Feather Valley."
Although the people of Lingyu Valley do not take ships as their home like us, they are also a combination of land and ship, and everything is inseparable from ships for travel and sales.
For the people of Lingyu Valley, they can live without horses at home, but they can't live without boats.
The Black Feather Bridge and the surrounding Ashaba River have become the largest commercial distribution center in the Lingyu Valley.
They either bought their products from the merchants of the Rosavier Way, or sold their own products directly to those merchants.
If the lord has goods in the future, he can also sell them here.
But if you want to maximize your profits, you have to organize your own land caravan and go to Odurin, the capital of Sambia. ”
Gavin nodded, his attention focused on the huge black feather stone bridge.
Even if it was built in a narrow area, the Al Shaba River is a kilometer wide, and as you can imagine how big this huge stone bridge spans the entire length of the river.
Such a bridge across the river is a vast project that cannot be completed for ordinary people.
But there's mage, there's magic, and that's a different story.
This stone bridge was not built little by little, but was shaped overnight using the legendary spell - Bridge Shaping Technique.
The Philosopher's Stone Bridge was named after the legendary mage's nickname, Black Feather.
It's a pity that the legendary spell Bridge Shaping Technique was lost with the disappearance of the Black Feather Mage.
Legend has it that the Black Feather Mage fused all of his spells, including the Bridge Shaping Technique, into the Black Feather Bridge.
Many young mages came here, hoping to obtain the inheritance of the Black Feather mage.
But unfortunately, the legend is still just a legend, and I haven't heard of any mage in Faeron who has been inherited by the Black Feather Mage.
In recent years, the reason for the black feather bridge's small fame, the god of conspiracy, Ciric, was here, and he used the Divine Calamity Sword to bombard and kill Layla, the goddess of trickery and illusions.
It's just that the process was too secretive at the beginning, and most people in the world didn't know about it, at least not the residents of Feather Valley.
But in the eyes of Pastor Shirek, it is a sacred place that is often visited with a pilgrimage heart.
Therefore, in the future, you must be cautious when dealing with people here, because no one knows whether behind those kind faces are hidden believers in the gods of conspiracy with ulterior motives.
Gavin did not disembark, but continued to follow the halfling leader down the river, deep into the Valley of Feathers.
When they arrived, they did not sail quickly, but stopped and went, coming ashore from time to time to visit the lords of the Feather Valley and try to buy or exchange cotton from them.
It's just that compared to the smooth sailing of the time, the process of coming to the door to buy is quite unsmooth.
The owners of these estates were polite, but they were very resolute in refusing to sell cotton.
A manor owner who had a good relationship with the halfling leader told him the real reason.
Last year, the gods came.
A number of low-level water gods such as Saikola and Anhe descended on the Falling Star Sea, causing great damage here.
In particular, Amberi, the queen of spicy and the goddess of the sea, ravaged the pirate islands of the inland sea with hurricanes and torrential rains, destroying more than two-thirds of the pirate fleet.
This kind of disaster, when it comes to Lingyu Valley, has become a huge business opportunity.
In order to rebuild the fleet and compete for the hegemony of the Fallen Star Sea, those pirates frantically purchased warship-related goods.
The high-quality canvas produced by Lingyu Valley is naturally the focus of rush purchases, and the price is double or even triple that of the past, and it is still in short supply.
Where do those farmers still stock up on cotton?
It was all made into canvas and sold.
Including the coarse cotton that has just come down this year, it is also made into inferior canvas, Rao is so, and it is also sold at the price of the best canvas in previous years.
It is believed that the situation will be more tense this fall.
The group of merchants in Sambia, like wolves smelling fish, had already come to the door and signed purchase agreements from door to door, including those scattered farmers.
The idea of fighting is self-evident.
That is to prepare to monopolize the canvas business and extract the maximum profit from those pirates.
Gavin and they can be said to have come while they were in a hurry and returned in defeat.
"I'm sorry, my lord, this matter is my mistake, I didn't notice the changes in cotton supply and marketing, not only did I not complete the task you entrusted, but also let you run in vain." The halfling leader apologized apologetically.
"I don't blame you for this matter, after all, you are just hired workers, not professional businessmen, it is normal for this kind of news to be relatively sluggish, and your news can be quite good to this extent." Gavin's mood wasn't affected too much.
Nine times out of ten, things that are unsatisfactory in life.
If you are not really the first choice of the people in front of Temorrah, how can you do everything as you want.
Although Gavin said this, Avery still felt a little uncomfortable, and took the initiative to propose: "Otherwise, I will take the time to go to the Bow Valley, the Deep Forest Valley, the Shadow Valley, and the Misty Valley to walk around next to each other, although the cotton there is not as famous as the Feather Valley, but it is more or less cultivated, I don't believe it, I can't even buy a boat." ”
Gavin shook his head and said: "Don't waste time, you can think of it, those Sambian businessmen have thought of it a long time ago, and it is estimated that they have been looted several times, this matter, this matter will end here, I will think of another way." ”
"Okay." Avery looked regretful.
Not only did he regret Gavin's ruined business, but he also felt sorry for himself.
If they can get through this business, they can be profitable in the middle.
"Although you have done a good job, I think you can do it more professionally, such as setting up fixed settlements in some towns and cities, sending people there, collecting relevant employment and business information, and exchanging information.
When the time comes, you will be able to go and accept employment as needed, and you can even purchase a part of the goods that are more needed there along the way, and earn a part of the difference, even if the difference is not much, but it is also a subsidy.
If you do it well enough, even information will become a commodity. ”
Gavin offered to give the halfling leader an idea.
This approach is not unique to him.
Many large chambers of commerce in Faeron adopt this set.
But the best and most professional to do is to first recommend the Tallinn Society, which is their nickname Dark Intelligence Network, and that's how it came about.
The halfling leader couldn't help but sigh and said: "It's not that we haven't thought about it, but the problem is to fix the place of residence, in the towns of the intelligent race, we often become the target of oppression and exclusion by the local evil forces, and in the wild, we lack the ability to protect ourselves."
Especially after a little improvement and expansion, other caravans will peep and take advantage of it.
On the contrary, it is not as good as the current life, which is free and easy. ”
"If you want to become bigger and stronger, it is not enough to have ideas, you must have enough strength to support it, if you are interested, we have the opportunity to cooperate in this area." Gavin nodded knowingly.
In a world where laws are not sound, the law of the jungle of poverty is often applied.
Poverty is the best umbrella for those who are vulnerable, and many powerful beings disdain you because you are poor.
If once you get rich and don't have enough strength to protect yourself, then I'm sorry, you just wait to be carved up and eaten.
Isn't it for this reason that his dragon rubber collar has entered a period of silent development.
Avery smiled and said, "I look forward to this day, but in this case, we will take advantage of the Lord again." ”
"If I can take advantage of you, it means that I have enough oil and water on my body, even if I let you take advantage of it, it doesn't hurt." Gavin smiled generously.
"Lord Lord, you can really think about it, haha......"
As they spoke, their ship turned back to the Black Feather Bridge.
As Gavin prepared to land, he said to the halfling leader, "Wait a minute, you don't want to sail back, just wait for me here, at least three days, at most five days, and I will be back, and then I may need your help in hiring ships to transport people to the land of the three rivers."
"Okay." Avery nodded cheerfully.
After going ashore, Gavin had to go around the Black Feather Bridge.
Find out if you have a chance to earn the Black Feather Mage's inheritance, or find some traces of trickery related to the illusion goddess Layla, in preparation for the next step in finding her godhead.
The result can be imagined, and he returned empty-handed.
Every year, there are no less than hundreds of mages who visit here, and many of them are transcendent mages.
As a small first-level mage, he can see that he is a little tired, so he is really a ghost.
No one can find it, there are only two possibilities.
One is that legends are just legends, and the truth does not exist in the form of false conjectures.
The other is that there is a powerful spell that protects the place, and there must be a relevant key to open and enter, which is a common occurrence in Ferron.
After a round of sightseeing, Gavin casually found a caravan that didn't look like a bad guy and went with him.
The journey was not long, and after thirty kilometers along the Rosavel Way, we arrived at the village of Good Luck.
This village, backed by the Tooth of Good Luck mountain range, is the gateway to the Battle Valley.
Like many of the towns in Battle Valley, this village straddles the Rosavier Way, using it as the village's main road and trading market.
This village is named after Loshanda.
In the year 916 of the Valley calendar, the good forces led by the Church of Loshanda sniped the Worship of the Dragons here, and the Lord of the Dawn, Loshanda sent an avatar to participate in the battle, completely defeating the cultists of the Worship of the Dragons and keeping them out of the Valley.
In order to celebrate this victory, the believers of Los Angeles built a large Los Sanda church here, called the Good Luck Church, and this village was built on the basis of this church, so it was naturally called Good Luck Village.
On the way here, Gavin was still worried about a series of questions such as where he should look if Regina missed the appointment or did not arrive, even if he did.
After all, in this world, there is no mobile phone, so you can make a temporary ventilation appointment.
Most of the time, the agreement is very vague and requires several days of waiting, which is normal.
At least below the transcendental, this is basically the case.
If it is transcendent, especially a mage, then there are many methods, after being able to cast the teleportation, if the other party has a signal marker, you can directly open the portal to that person.
Thanks to the self-improvement boss for the reward, a large number of monthly passes, and check-in.
Being so punctual and punctual is true love!
Give me more motivation to write.
I hope there will be more of this big guy.
Thank you readers who really like it, I will read every vote you cast and every message you leave a message.
If there is a good suggestion, I will take it at my discretion.
I try my best to write non-repetitive, different stories for everyone!
If you have the ability, help spread the word, the book's grades are steadily rising, but not too good.
Go one step further and you're stable!
You are a genius, remember in a second: Red Sweet Spring:
