The businessmen looked at the light in the distance, and stopped almost at the same time. What kind of thing can emit such a bright light, so dazzling that people can't open their eyes.
Could it be that they went to the wrong place, this is not the dead and silent Chidi City as rumored, but encountered some kind of miracle
It is said that in the desert, people who are short of water will have hallucinations, but they are not short of water, it is just that the journey is too tiring.
Zhuang Yu was also taken aback when he got the news, those merchants didn't move
They didn't move, and Zhuang Yu had to let someone lead them in. The temporary market at the gate of Chidi City was prepared for them.
Zhuang Yu said a few words to the patrol team of the Huangsha Department, and the people from the Huangsha Department ran out.
The people in the caravan were still amazed, "Have you seen what that is?"
"I can't see clearly, but there seems to be a city next to it. According to the records on the map, it should be Chidi City."
Hesitating, anyone will feel fear when facing the unknown, even if the light looks particularly beautiful.
At this time, a gust of yellow sand blew, and there seemed to be someone's shadow in the yellow sand, "Who broke into my Red Emperor City?"
People in the Yellow Sand Department said, Shaojun asked them to be more polite and bring the caravan over. Are they being polite
They used to do it directly, but now they just move their mouths.
However, as a member of the Huangsha tribe who patrolled the desert and scouted out the enemy's situation, he was definitely not a good guide, and his tone sounded like a bandit's, vicious.
No, a group of businessmen couldn't help shivering.
They should not encounter bandits, right
But listening to their tone, it seems that this is Chidi City, but Chidi City has been isolated by thousands of miles of yellow sand, and no one knows what happened.
Trembling.
A group of merchants quickly explained, "We are tribal merchants outside, and we came to Red Emperor City to exchange supplies, and we have no other purpose."
The people from the Huangsha Department were taken aback, why explain this to them
If it wasn't for the caravan, how could they have come here with their combat power? I don't know how many times I have been wiped out on the road.
The people from the Huangsha Department remembered Zhuang Yu's order and said, "Come with us, behave yourself."
A group of businessmen almost shed tears. Judging from the tone, they must have encountered robbers. They have so many supplies that they are in vain.
The point is that they probably won't be able to go back.
I don't know how many people started to regret it in their hearts. They didn't know anything about Chidi City, so they rushed in, and they were too impulsive at the time.
But they couldn't bear the days without snowflake salt.
Both Jiao Hong and Jiao were dumbfounded when they saw the people from the Huangsha Department "leading" a group of businessmen over, as if they had gone out to rob and brought back the spoils.
Didn't Shaojun just ask the people from the Huangsha Department to bring them here
For this transaction, Zhuang Yu still asked the Jiaokang family to be in charge. Originally, they were the caravan of Chidi City, and they were familiar with the road.
The people in the Huangsha Department all had "kind" smiles on their faces, and thought, they have completed the task assigned by the Shaojun, let's see how perfectly they completed it.
It's just that, no matter how you look at them, their smiles are menacing.
Both Jiao Hong and Jiao went up to meet them. They had to figure out what was going on, but they must not rob others.
Shaojun said that this time they want to show the goodness of Red Emperor City to outside merchants, let these merchants spread the news, and let more merchants come to Red Emperor City to do business.
These merchants are just caravans formed by several marginal tribes. There are countless tribes on the land, and there are also many tribes that do not belong to the five major forces. Now this is just the beginning.
What did Shao Jun say at that time? By the way, trade center, let Red Emperor City become a trade center.
Just thinking about it, if merchants from other tribes on the land come to Chidi City to trade, how prosperous Chidi City will become.
Both Jiao Hong and Jiao stepped forward, and kept blinking at the people from the Huangsha Department. What's the matter with you? How did you arrest him
The people from the Huangsha Department are also winking, how about it, besides patrolling and inquiring about the enemy's situation, our Huangsha Department is also a very good guide, right? Look how well we do.
The result is that no one understands what the other party's wink is trying to express.
Both Jiaohong and Jiao simply said, "You guys go to patrol, this place is handed over to us."
No matter how you look at this atmosphere, it doesn't look like the atmosphere of a normal transaction.
People from the Yellow Sand Department muttered as they walked, "Call us for this kind of mission next time."
Both Jiaohong and Jiaodu twitched their mouths, and then said to a group of trembling businessmen, "Everyone, this is the Red Emperor City, if you can come to our Red Emperor City, you will be a distinguished guest of my Red Emperor City."
VIP
A group of businessmen thought to themselves, this VIP is really not an ordinary person, but it scared them to death.
However, seeing that the people from the Huangsha Department left without robbing their supplies, they also relaxed, and many of them knew Jiaohong and Jiaodu, and even made deals.
After untold hardships and trekking through mountains and rivers, they finally arrived.
Jiaohong and Jiaodu continued, "I don't know what's the matter with everyone coming to my Red Emperor City?"
After a group of merchants relaxed, they didn't talk nonsense, "Salt, snowflake salt, do you still have the kind of snowflake salt that you sold in Chidi City last time? We brought enough exchange materials this time."
Jiaohong and Jiao looked at each other, and Shaojun's guess was really good, they came here for the snowflake salt.
Think about it too, as long as you eat their snowflake salt, how can you go back to licking salt stones.
For example, their Red Emperor City is now worrying about what to do with some of the salt rocks they had stored in the past. Although there are not many salt rocks left, it would be a pity to just throw them away. In exchange for less supplies, but keep it for yourself to eat, and you really can't eat it.
There was no need for Jiao Hong and Jiao Du to answer, the relaxed businessman glanced behind Jiao Hong and the others, and saw the animal skin bags neatly arranged in two rows.
The animal skin bag has been opened, revealing the snow-white salt inside.
"It's salt, snowflake salt."
A group of businessmen were so excited that there seemed to be nothing but snowflake salt in their eyes.
Both Jiaohong and Jiaodu had smiles on their faces, and said, "Everyone, behind us is the market in our Red Emperor City, and everything can be traded here. I believe that you will have a good harvest when you come from afar."
A group of businessmen nodded without blinking their eyes. If it wasn't for exchanging some snowflake salt, they would have a good life, but they would have to suffer so much through thousands of miles of yellow sand to come here.
Jiao Hong and Jiao both said, "Everyone wants to exchange something, go to the market and have a look, as long as the two parties negotiate the terms of the transaction, it will be fine."
When a group of businessmen heard this, they couldn't hold back anymore, and ran behind them, "Salt, I want snowflake salt, give me all of it."
"Nonsense, save some for me."
Both Jiao Hong and Jiao were stunned for a moment, these people really... can't wait, what a lack of salt.
However, the Yunmeng clan provided a lot of salt this time, which should be able to meet the needs of all of them.
The merchants began to ask from the first bag of salt, "How do you change this salt?"
The people of the Jiaokang tribe have already prepared, "All the salt on this road is mine, and it is still at the old price. If you exchange more, it will be slightly cheaper. It is best to exchange it with meat, animal skins and the like."
Their meat consumption in Chidi City has been too fast recently, Shao Jun asked them to change to more meat.
The businessman was taken aback, "Why is it still the old price? We came to your Red Emperor City specially to save you the manpower and material resources to go back and forth, so it should be cheaper."
The members of the Jiaokang family smiled, "This distance is nothing to us in Chidi City. We can sell it at this price if we take it outside. Our salt is easy to sell."
The merchants hesitated, because they had worked so hard to get here, and it would be cheaper to transport the salt out of Chidi City.
Still hesitating, a businessman from another tribe next to him said, "Do you want any more? If you don't want it, give it to me. I'll exchange it with meat."
People from the Jiaokang family also said, "We will not ship out the snowflake salt from Chidi City in the future. If you want to buy it, you can only come to Chidi City to trade, and the price is also the same."
This is also Zhuang Yu's decision. He wants to use salt to attract merchants from other forces to Chidi City, so that a trade route can be formed.
Didn't ship it out and sell it? Doesn't it mean that if you want to buy snowflake salt, you have to come to Chidi City
The members of the Jiaokang family said again, "The salt in our Chidi City is probably at this price. If you buy more, you can get a little discount. When you buy salt, we don't care how much you have to sell after you ship it out."
The merchants were taken aback when they heard this. Most of them bought salt for their own tribes, and they hadn't thought about shipping it out for sale.
But the eyes couldn't help but brighten up, the people outside were similar to them, they were crazy about Snowflake Salt, but unlike them, they ran to Chidi City with great determination.
If... if they shipped the salt out and sold it more expensively, wouldn't they be able to make a lot of money
As for whether it can be sold or not, this is not a problem at all, no one can resist the taste of snowflake salt.
In addition, now that Ruidi City and Baidi City are desperate for face, it is impossible to send a caravan to Red Emperor City, that is to say, Ruidi City and Baidi City have to be in their hands to buy snowflake salt. With such a large population in Emperor City and Baidi City, no matter how much salt they bought, they could still sell it.
When they entered Chidi, they heard that the benefits of Snowflake Salt had spread rapidly to Ruidi City and Baidi City. Those guys didn't even think about it at first, and even ordered not to buy salt from Chidi City, but now Buying sneakily everywhere, I don't know what kind of mood it is.
As for the hardships of the journey, they just need to sell it more expensive after they are transported out, and no matter how difficult the journey is, it will be easier than going to the battlefield.
I don’t know how many merchants have thought of going together. They only need to transport salt back and forth, and they can make a lot of money by selling it at a high price. Just luck.
Good things never worry about selling.
The businessman next to him looked at the questioning businessman and said, "Whether you want to buy it or not, I'll take it all."
"If you want it, give it to me." When the businessman heard that it was worth it, he thought he was stupid, wouldn't he buy it
The people of the Jiaokang tribe smiled, "Don't worry, this road is full of salt sellers, if you are interested, you can go to the market for a walk, maybe there will be surprises."
The businessman thought, what surprises can there be? There is nothing else in Chidi City except this snowflake salt. He wants salt and nothing else.
Said, "Exchange all my supplies for salt."
