The Origin of Arcane

Chapter 454 The Magic of Commerce

The other is that they don't have such a big brain capacity at all, and they don't think so much at all.

As in the past, these Odin orc tribes who came to trade were mixed, and a large part of them had dual purposes.

If the trading partner is too weak, they don't mind turning into horse bandits and making a deal without money. Anyway, these border smugglers are like leeks. Once they cut off a crop, a new crop will emerge in a few days , although they don't know that this is driven by huge interests, at least the other party has been doing this all the time, and they are not worried that there will be no new transactions at all.

If the trading partner is strong, they will trade honestly and obtain the daily necessities they need.

There are also horse bandit tribes who don't carry any supplies and are ready to do business without money from the beginning. They don't care whether they rob border smugglers from the Byron Alliance or other Odin orc tribes.

But when I got to the trading place, I found that there were soldiers from the Broken Blood Fort, guarding it inside and out, and my heart trembled involuntarily.

Most of these tribes have survived on the border for many years, and they have also dealt with the Blood Fortress for many years. In recent decades, it is not they who have harmed the Byron Alliance, but Blood Castle has in turn harmed them.

As soon as it feels that some tribes are too powerful on the Odin Prairie, the iron hooves of the Blood Fortress will rush in and sort out the tribes here.

Over the years, in order to protect themselves, the small and medium-sized Odin orc tribes around the Blood Fortress did not offer sacrifices to the Eastern and Western Odin Empires, but paid a certain amount of cattle and sheep to Blood Fortress as protection fees, and did not ask them to protect themselves. Just beg them not to harm themselves.

The county magistrate is not as good as the current one.

The two royal courts of the Eastern and Western Odin Empires are too far away from them. Even if they don't pay taxes, they don't necessarily know about it.

On the contrary, every decision of Broken Blood Castle is closely related to them, and sometimes directly determines the life and death of their entire tribe, so they have to be careful to please.

For this kind of semi-naturalized Odin orc tribe, as long as they don't grow to the point where they threaten Blood Fortress, even the square and staid Grand Duke Cedric will turn a blind eye.

After all, the Odin orcs can't stop killing them. As long as the fertile land and grasslands are there, other tribes will be attracted to migrate here. The tribe occupies a place there, and by the way raises sheep and horses for themselves.

The relationship between the two big powers is not so absolute, and they have to be divided as soon as they meet. This kind of situation is a minority after all, and most of them are you with me, and you with me.

Only when the interests of the two parties cannot be reconciled will there be a big fight.

On the Fractured Grassland, which was entrusted by the Strachey family, there were many Odin orc tribes who could not hang out on the Odin Grassland, and they completely fell to Broken Blood Castle. Submissive people.

There are also some Byrons who were exiled to the Odin prairie to open up wasteland for the Odin orcs, among which the Miracle Peninsula is the most.

After the Theodin Empire captured the Miracle Peninsula, they did not slaughter all the Byrons here, but left some people to cultivate wasteland for them.

After a hundred years of domestication and integration, the descendants of these people can no longer be called Byrons. After all, they were born and raised under the rule of the Odin orcs, and many things have been assimilated by them. The rule of the Commons family It has become a distant past, and there are not many people who still miss their rule in their hearts.

After all, the rule of the Commons family was harsher than that of the Theodin Empire.

After all, the royal family of the Theodin Empire is in a semi-nomadic state. They only spend the winter here permanently, and most of the time they will enter the Odin Prairie. As long as they pay taxes on time and provide them with the food they need to spend the winter here, it will be very easy Few people will extort money from them.

Soon these Odin orc tribes who heard the news discovered that as long as they honestly followed the trading system, the soldiers of the Broken Blood Castle would not only not harm them, but instead be their protectors.

For those horse bandit tribes who purely wanted to fight the autumn wind, the soldiers of Broken Blood Fort were not polite, and immediately used thunder to suppress them.

These soldiers living at the bottom of the Broken Blood Fort know better than Grand Duke Cedric how lucrative the border trade is. After all, some border smuggling activities are carried out when they turn a blind eye. part of their benefits.

People always have to eat, and the supplies provided by the Byron Alliance are tight, so they can only find ways to subsidize their families.

Now that Grand Duke Cedric has decided to open up the border market, they naturally get their strong support. They can handle many things properly without any orders from above.

The large amount of free aid delivered by the Valesta Chamber of Commerce has won the unanimous favor of the blood castle. They are their own gods of wealth, and they come to make money for themselves, so of course they must be protected.

A series of reasons come down, leading to the result.

Border trade has been booming from the start.

How hot is it?

It was so hot that the goods that the Valesta Chamber of Commerce originally donated to Broken Blood Castle for free were temporarily seconded and sold as commodities. Even so, they only lasted for less than a month before they were out of stock.

Many Odin orcs who came to trade did not know what bargaining was.

Two kilograms of salt, leaving a sheep behind, took it and left.

Take an iron pot, drop a cow, pick it up and leave.

A pack of needles, drop a lamb, take it.

Take an iron sword and a three-year-old first-class war horse, take them away.

This price is basically the previous smuggling price, and the psychological price prepared by the merchants of the Valesta Chamber of Commerce at the beginning is not only one or two chips higher, but several times higher.

No one would kindly remind the Odin orcs, but made a lot of money with peace of mind. Even if the big head was eaten by the blood castle, they would still make some money.

Not to mention refilling these carts with all kinds of furs exchanged for the cargo of 10,000 carts, there are also a cloud-like herd of livestock, the number of which is definitely not less than three million.

The herds of livestock, those that are too young and not fat enough, are directly handed over to the Broken Blood Fort, and their subordinate tribes raise them in the Broken Grassland. Reward the soldiers of Broken Blood Castle.

Only those animals that are fat, strong, of good age, and of high value will be transported to the interior of the Byron Union for thousands of miles.

In a big city like Valesta, the capital of the kingdom, sheep worth only two kilograms of salt on the border cannot be exchanged for a hundred kilograms. The value is not several times, but dozens of times. The huge profits it contains are enough to make countless people jealous.

Under such circumstances, how could the merchants of the Valesta Chamber of Commerce engage in business in other directions?

Of course, mobilize all manpower and material resources to focus on this direction.

The furs and animals transported by the Valesta Chamber of Commerce were all sold before they even finished halfway to the capital Valesta.

Once you get rid of one, then replenish the goods nearby, turn the direction immediately, and return to the border. There are countless Odin orc tribes who have heard the news and are eagerly waiting for their goods!

Their current pursuit of maximizing profits is not long-term high prices, but fast in and out at low prices. Compared with the former, their profits are still several times higher.

After all, the effort to go to Valesta once is enough for them to go three or four times nearby.

The merchants of the Valesta Chamber of Commerce, like a group of hardworking ants, moved the goods from the Byron Alliance to the hands of the Odin orcs, and then moved the goods from the Odin orcs to the hands of the Byrons who needed them. Seek huge price difference in the middle.

The matter of hiring retired soldiers from Broken Blood Castle as mercenaries was even more hit and miss.

One side is thirsty for talent, but has no way to do it.

The other party has no livelihood and is forced by life.

This is simply a match made in heaven. The border trade is booming, which makes them restless for a moment. After negotiating the terms, they will go on the road.

The Valesta Chamber of Commerce doesn't worry about the loyalty of these soldiers at all. There is the Blood Fortress of the Broken Port as a guarantee. If something goes wrong, the Blood Castle of the Broken Port will send people to hunt them down to the ends of the world without the Chamber of Commerce sending out a disciplinary team.

Just in case, when the merchants of the Valesta Chamber of Commerce select retired soldiers, they give priority to those who have families at the border, or who have a good reputation, and then try to mix some retired soldiers with problems, even if they Something is really wrong, and those retired soldiers who want to support their families are pressing it!

Employment archives and employment records are established immediately. As the information in this area becomes more and more comprehensive, the employment industry will embark on a formalized pace, and there will naturally be a cloud of followers.

A good start has been made.

The goods that the Eternal Night Army led originally flowed into the Odin prairie through the northern fortress line, went downstream through the Jacob River, arrived at the capital Valesta, and then diverted to the border.

The tea, condiments and some delicacies in their hands are very popular on the Odin Prairie, and the prices are usually not low.

As for whether these commodities will have the opportunity to be transported to the Odin Prairie, it is still unknown. After all, the Byron Alliance also has a demand for the goods of the Eternal Night Army.

When Grand Duke Cedric wandered around outside for a long time and returned to Broken Blood Castle, the merchants of the Valesta Chamber of Commerce also ran two or three times for the long-term, and more than eight or nine times for the short-term. He was dumbfounded by the part of the benefits distributed to Broken Blood Fort, which was two or three times larger than what he had achieved in half a year.

The soldiers of Broken Blood Fortress eat their mouths full of oil, and they are fat and strong.

There is no way, there are too many animals traded from the Odin orcs, and the chances of problems are naturally greater, and they are all cheaper.

After Grand Duke Cedric returned to Broken Blood Castle, he was dragged and slapped wildly by those generals who were not good at flattering, which made his old face turn red.

Obviously they took all of this as the credit of Grand Duke Cedric.

Now they not only have a lot of wealth in the account, but also get rid of the big burden of retired soldiers, and find a new way out for them. In their memory, they have never been so affluent as they are now.

It's only been less than half a year, and everything is just in its infancy.

Affected by the turbulent state of the Odin prairie, a large number of small and medium-sized Odin orc tribes flocked towards the Broken Mountain Range in order to survive, avoiding the soldiers of the Theodin Empire.

Their existence escalated the popularity of border trade.

If it continues like this, it is not impossible for Broken Blood Castle to get rid of its dependence on the other Grand Duke families of the Byron Alliance, and it will naturally have more right to speak at that time.

Grand Duke Cedric finally understood why during the last few days of his stay in the Eternal Night Army, Sean began to frantically sell various military supplies of the Eternal Night Army, especially the Andis longbow and black powder.

The former is a sharp weapon for defending the city, greatly enhancing the long-range firepower of Blood Fortress.

The latter is a strategic weapon with the magical power to make the impossible possible.

It made Grand Duke Cedric salivate, and he signed a sales agreement worth tens of millions in a daze. On the way back, he was still worrying about what he would pay for the Yongye army leader!

I didn't expect that my finances were already so rich that paying the money was not a problem.

It seems that the young lord of the Yongye army leader had started to crack his abacus, and after going around in a circle, a lot of wealth still flowed into the hands of the Yongye army leader.

During the whole process, it seems that there is no disadvantage, and everyone gets what they need.

The Odin orc tribe obtained their own shortage of living supplies.

The Byron Union acquired a large number of relatively scarce cattle.

Broken Blood Fort received a large amount of military spending and military supplies.

Valesta merchants and ex-soldiers who turned into mercenaries got their share of the wealth.

The Yong Ye army leader successfully sold off the large amount of ammunition he had accumulated in exchange for a large amount of working capital.

This is the magic of commerce. Although the whole process does not create value, it can satisfy everyone and feel that they have earned money.

Grand Duke Cedric, who has tasted the sweetness, will naturally pay more attention to this matter, so as to ensure that this business can go on for a long time.

As the saying goes, money touches people's hearts.

There are huge interests in it, and other Lords and nobles of the Byron Alliance are also tempted, wanting to get a kick out of it.

At this time, the Valesta Chamber of Commerce made a big concession in the initial negotiations with Grand Duke Cedric, and the advantages were reflected, but the big head was pinched in the hands of Broken Blood Castle.

If other people want to enter the arena, at least they have to be equal to the Valesta Chamber of Commerce, otherwise they don't need to make a move at all, and the Broken Blood Fort naturally stopped them.

Now it's not that Grand Duke Cedric begged his grandpa to tell his grandma to ask them for alms, but they begged the Fortress of Broken Blood to give them a piece of the pie.

Grand Duke Cedric's attitude is as tough as ever, want to enter the market to make money?

Yes, as long as you can achieve the same level as the Valesta Chamber of Commerce, and by the way, make up all the supplies that should be supported for Broken Blood Castle.

Otherwise, why should we allow you to come and go freely in our territory? for profit?
