Twilight City is a place where stolen goods are sold, and it is also a place where underground mercenaries are extremely active. Less than two days after Old Tom left, there happened to be an underground auction. The underground auction in Twilight City was actually
One operation method for transferring stolen goods is just to transfer the stolen goods from the first level to the second level. At this point, the goods basically have a legal source.
A roll of silk almost twenty meters long was sold for 260 gold coins directly after being appreciated by many experts at the auction. The guy who received Old Tom's silk, within just two days, even
After leaving the Twilight City, I directly made sixty gold coins by changing hands, which made everyone watching with envy. Fortunately, everyone got the guarantee from Old Tom that the silk was still in supply, otherwise they might have started looting it on the spot regardless of the rules.
Five days later, at a noble dinner in the principality, a certain marquise wore a silk dress that was carefully tailored and stunned the audience. Almost within a few days, the name of silk had spread throughout the principality.
upper layer.
For a time, those ladies and ladies were looking for these precious silks everywhere as if they were crazy. And those guys in Twilight City were already looking at the desert outside the city, and they were looking forward to it. The dignitaries behind them
It’s a rush every day, and I wish I could come here in person to supervise them getting the silk right away.
When a large group of guys carrying mercenary backpacks appeared in the desert, the people in Twilight City seemed to have seen a savior. Before they even entered the city, the mercenaries were swarmed from the city.
The buyers who came out were shocked by the aura they showed. A few of the leaders turned around and ran away without hesitation. Their actions also attracted the mercenaries who followed them, and they all rushed in unison.
The brushing action.
"Don't go, don't go, we are here to buy silk!" The buyers who were chasing behind them shouted hurriedly. How could they not understand the reason for these people's actions? Their shouts also made the mercenaries
Slowly relax and stop running away.
Old Tom played a vital role in this large-scale long-distance trafficking across the desert. He united a group of mercenaries to form a powerful organization that was not afraid of sand pirates for the time being, and then everyone pooled their money to sell the goods in Meng Han's hands.
The few batches of silk that had just been produced were swept away, and they happily went to Twilight City just to earn another vote. Unexpectedly, they were greeted by such a grand "welcome" ceremony in Twilight City as soon as they arrived. Naturally, they made
They were frightened all the way.
After understanding the truth of the matter, these buyers generously promised to increase the price of this batch of silk by 5% as a shock payment to everyone. Later, the silk purchased with hundreds of gold coins in Huangsha Town was
It became a forbidden prize in the hands of a group of buyers. As for how to distribute it, naturally let them fight for it themselves. The mercenaries of Huangsha Town, after getting the heavy gold coins, no longer doubted Old Tom's words, and after quickly replenishing their supplies,
Without further ado, I returned immediately.
If you make more trips, you can earn a lot more gold coins, and they also know from the attitude of the buyers just now that silk is simply a good thing with a price but no market. Such a good thing, if you go back a moment later, will it be lost?
No one is sure whether someone will buy it first. All people think about is seizing the time to make money.
At this time, the mercenaries 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 along with the upper-class nobles of the country.
The group of people crossing the desert were lucky. After they united, even the sand pirates did not dare to do anything to them. But the other group of people were not as lucky as them.
Meng Han had already warned these people when he sold the silk that if the things from Huangsha Town passed through Stormwind City, there would be only one outcome, that is, the things would be confiscated and the people would be detained. Old Tom and the others believed it, but in this world
, there is always a group of people who will not believe anyone except themselves. Meng Han's kindness has become an excuse for him to deliberately fabricate such a story so that he can operate this easy trade route.
Now that Adrian has the superficial support of the Mercenary Guild, the blockade of Huangsha Town has begun to become unscrupulous. Anyone coming from the direction of Huangsha Town will be interrogated, even those who left Meng Han
Everyone in the mercenary guild investigated once. Fortunately, his men recognized those people and dealt with them in time, so that the people in the mercenary guild would not fall out.
The people in the mercenary guild had a backing, but the guys who got the silk did not have such good strength and luck. When the city guards surrounded them aggressively and everything on them was robbed, these people began to regret it.
It turns out that everything the lord said is true. It's a pity that no matter which world you are in, there is no good regret medicine.
Fortunately, these people were not detained, but were driven out of Stormwind City directly after the Lord of Stormwind City used various reasons to rob them of all their valuables. Of course, from the side facing Huangsha Town
.
The city lord Adrian has even thought that as long as Huangsha Town can be sealed off for half a year to a year, the people there will definitely be trapped to death by him. There is no other way but to kneel down and beg for his forgiveness.
When the time comes, that hateful lord of Huangsha Town, Adrian must make him look good. At least, Meng Han must die, otherwise, he will not be able to let go of the fact that more than 500 city guards were killed.
However, after these looted guys ran back to Huangsha Town in tears, their experiences immediately became a living lesson for everyone. No one would be lucky enough to ship goods through Stormwind City. At this time, the Lord of Stormwind City
He didn't realize that the few seemingly white pieces of cloth captured by his wolf-like warriors were valuable things. He just casually took the gold coins he collected and gave them to his men.
Divide them all.
When the Mercenary Guild began to recruit quarry workers in Huangsha Town, a fixed trade route had been formed in the desert. Ever since I accidentally heard the words Silk Road from the lord that day, the name became
It spread among the treasure-hunting mercenaries, and then directly became the official name of this newly explored trade route.
Meng Han can receive a lot of spider silk from the elves every day, but not many of these spider silks become mature silk after processing. In addition, Meng Han's current weavers are not skilled, so the silk
The output has been unable to increase. But this has also directly caused the supply of silk to be far from meeting the market demand. Even in Huangsha Town, those former mercenaries and current businessmen who wanted to get silk earlier even offered to
He used price increase and bidding to obtain the limited purchase right of silk from Meng Han.
Alice discovered this very sensitively and immediately came to Meng Han to discuss it. It would be more appropriate to hold this kind of preemptive right in her own hands.
"No! No! No!" Meng Han shook his head and said three consecutive words: "We don't sell the right of first refusal, we only sell silk."
"Why? Sir!" Alice didn't understand why Meng Han gave away this great opportunity to make money to others. If this part of the income was in his hands, the profit from silk would never be just this small.
"Because we need these people to withstand the pressure from the outside world for us." Meng Han smiled, pulled Alice to sit on his lap, hugged her in his arms, and gently smelled the fragrance of Alice's hair: "If we
If we get all the benefits, we will be the target of public criticism, and all attacks will be directed at us. However, if we give up these benefits, those people will fight for them, and no one will touch our most basic industries.
"
"But, what if there are some merchant groups of big nobles who are interested in silk?" Alice is still a little worried. If she doesn't take advantage of this time to make enough money, she always seems to feel uneasy.
"The jungle spider's silk is in my hands, and no one can take it away." Meng Han smiled: "My price remains unchanged, and whoever buys it will pay it. When the time comes, these people will fight for it, and priority will still be given to supply.
These rights are not in my hands. Whoever wants to fight for them can do it. We just need to keep silent and get rich. No matter who wins, he can't lose our money. Besides, if I really don't want to fight for someone,
, what can he do if I don’t give him the goods? I have never recognized this so-called right of priority in supply.”
"I understand, 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 normal people bid at that time, then we will give the goods. If
If they are people we don’t like, then we won’t give them the goods. If we advance, we can attack, and if we retreat, we can defend.”
"That's what I mean." Meng Han held Alice's arm with a little force, and Alice almost completely leaned on Meng Han: "You are indeed my lovely housekeeper."
"You are so awesome, my lord!" Alice couldn't help but praise.
"You still call me Sir?" Meng Han pinched Alice's waist with some dissatisfaction: "Call me Tony."
"Tony." When Meng Han said this, Alice's body seemed to stiffen suddenly, and then returned to normal.
Meng Han didn't feel anything strange about Alice, and continued to lean into Alice's ear, saying softly to her: "When the silk business is stable, we will arrange a wedding, and I will prepare the most unforgettable one for you.
The wedding will be something you will remember for the rest of your life.”
"Okay!" Alice turned her back to Meng Han, leaning her body completely against Meng Han's, enjoying the warm feeling brought by Meng Han's embrace, but there was a sense of attachment and reluctance in her eyes.
