Chapter 454: The magic of commerce

The other is that they don't have such a large brain capacity at all, and they don't think so much.
As always, these Odin orc tribes who came to trade were mixed, and a large part of them had a dual purpose.
If the trading partner is too weak, they don’t mind turning into horse bandits and making a non-profit business. Anyway, these border smugglers are like leeks. After cutting a crop, a new crop will come out in a few days. Although they didn’t know that it was driven by huge interests, at least the other party had been doing this all the time and didn’t worry about no new deals at all.
If the trading partner is strong, they will deal honestly and obtain the living supplies they need.
There are also horse bandit tribes who don't carry any supplies. They are prepared to do nothing from the beginning. They don't care about robbing border smugglers from the Byron Alliance or other Odin orc tribes.
But when I arrived at the trading place, I found that there were soldiers with broken blood fort, guarding inside and out, and my heart trembled involuntarily.
Most of these tribes have survived on the border for many years and have dealt with Broken Blood Fort for many years. In recent decades, it has not been they who have harmed the Byron Alliance, but Broken Blood Castle has in turn harmed them.
As soon as it feels that some tribes on the Odin Prairie are too powerful, the iron hoofs of the Broken Blood Fortress will rush in and sort out the tribes here. They should be cut and slaughtered without mercy.
Over the years, the small and medium-sized tribes of Odin orcs around Broken Blood Fortress, in order to protect themselves, did not make offerings to the Eastern and Western Odin Empires, but paid a certain amount of cattle and sheep to Broken Blood Fortress as a protection fee and did not ask them to protect themselves. Just beg them not to harm themselves.
The magistrate is better off now.
The two kings of the Eastern and Western Odin Empire are too far away from them. Even if they didn't pay taxes, they didn't necessarily know. Even if they knew, they probably didn't have the energy to pay attention to them. They couldn't go all the way to crusade them!
On the contrary, any decision of Broken Blood Castle is closely related to them, and sometimes directly determines the survival of their entire tribe, and they have to be careful to please.
To this kind of semi-naturalized Odin orc tribe, as long as they did not grow to the extent of threatening to break the blood fortress, even the square and old-fashioned Grand Duke Cedric turned a blind eye.
After all, the orcs of Odin can't kill endlessly. As long as the fertile land and grassland are there, other tribes will be attracted to migrate. Instead of coming to a group of unruly students, it is better to keep a group of people who are feared by themselves. The tribe occupies a place there and raises sheep and horses for themselves by the way.
The relationship between the two big powers is not that strong and absolute. You have to split up as soon as you meet. This kind of situation is in the minority after all. Most of them are you in me and you in me.
Only when the interests of both parties are irreconcilable, will they fight.
There are many Odin orc tribes who can't hang on the Odin Prairie on the Fractured Grassland of the Strache family's fief, and they completely fall to the Fractured Blood Fort, and come here to graze sheep and horses for them, and they are peaceful. Submissive people.
There are also some Byrons who exiled to the Odin prairie to open up wasteland for the Odin orcs, among which the Miracle Peninsula is the most.
After the Western Odin Empire captured the Miracle Peninsula that year, it did not slaughter the Byronians here, but left some people to cultivate wasteland for them.
After a hundred years of domestication and fusion, the descendants of these people can no longer be called Byrons. After all, they were born and grown 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, but few people still think about their rule.
After all, the rule of the Commons family was harsher than that of the Siodin Empire.
After all, the Royal Court of the West Odin Empire is in a semi-nomadic state. Only in winter will stay here for the winter. Most of the time, they will enter the Odin Prairie. As long as they pay taxes on time and provide the food they need to spend the winter here, it is very Few people will be aggressive towards them.
Soon these Odin orc tribes who came to hear the news found that as long as they honestly followed the trading system, these Broken Blood Fort soldiers would not only not harm them, but their protectors.
For those horse bandit tribes who purely want to fight the autumn wind, the soldiers of the broken blood castle are not welcome, and immediately use thunder means to suppress them.
These blood fort soldiers living at the bottom of the breach know better than Grand Duke Cedric how big the oil and water in the border trade are. After all, some border smuggling activities are carried out with one eye closed, and there are Part of their benefits.
People always have to eat, and the supplies provided by the Byron Alliance are tight. They can only find a way to subsidize their families.
Now that Grand Duke Cedric decided to open the border exchange market, he naturally received their strong support. They can handle many things properly without the above instructions.
The large amount of unpaid aid materials delivered by the Valesta Chamber of Commerce has won the unanimous favor of the blood fort. They are their own gods of wealth, who come to make money for themselves, and of course they must protect them.
After a series of reasons, the result is.
Border trade has entered a hot state from the beginning.
How hot is it?
The goods that were so popular that the Valesta Chamber of Commerce originally provided free assistance to Fracture Blood Castle were temporarily seconded and sold as commodities. Even so, they were out of stock after only a month.
Many Odin orcs who came to trade didn't even know what bargaining was.
Two kilograms of salt, leave a lamb, take it and leave.
Take an iron pot, throw a cow, pick it up and leave.
A pack of needles, drop a little lamb, and take it away.
An iron sword, a three-year-old high-class war horse, take it away.
This price is simply the previous smuggling price, and the psychological price prepared by the merchants of the Valesta Chamber of Commerce at the beginning is more than one or two higher, but has doubled several times.
No one would kindly remind the orcs of Odin, but they made a lot of money with peace of mind, even if the big head was eaten by the blood fort, they would also make a profit.
The various furs from 10,000 carts of goods refilled these carts, and there are also a herd of animals like clouds, the number of which is definitely no less than three million.
Those herds that are too young or fat enough will be directly handed over to the Broken Blood Fort for disposal and will be raised by their affiliated tribes on the Broken Grassland. Those who are too old or have disabilities to travel far will be slaughtered on the spot. Treated the soldiers who broke the blood fort.
Only those animals with fat body, good age, and high value will be transported by them to the Byron Alliance.
In a big city like Valesta, the value of sheep on the border is only two kilograms of salt, and one hundred kilograms can’t be exchanged. The value is not doubled, but dozens of times. The huge profits are enough to make countless people jealous.
Under such circumstances, how could the merchants of the Valesta Chamber of Commerce still engage in business in other directions?
Of course, mobilize all human and material resources to focus on this direction.
The furs and livestock delivered by the Valesta Chamber of Commerce were all released before they even finished halfway to the royal capital of Valesta.
Get rid of one, then replenish the goods nearby, turn the direction for the first time, and return to the border line. There are countless Odin orc tribes who have heard the news, waiting for their goods eagerly!
Their current pursuit of maximizing profits is not long-term high prices, but low prices and fast in and out. Compared with the former, profits are still several times higher.
After all, one trip to Valesta was enough for them to run three or four times close.
The merchants of the Valesta Chamber of Commerce, like a group of diligent ants, move the goods of the Byron Alliance to the hands of the Odin orcs, and then move the goods from the Odin orcs to the hands of the Byrons in need. The middle seeks a huge price difference.
The hiring of retired soldiers from Broken Blood Castle as mercenaries was a snap.
One is thirsty for talents, but there is no way.
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 have a moment of idleness, and they will go on the road after they have negotiated terms.
The Valesta Chamber of Commerce did not worry about the loyalty of these soldiers. In the middle, there was Broken Blood Fortress. Once there was a problem, the Chamber of Commerce did not need to send a disciplinary team. Broken Blood Fort would send people to chase them to the ends of the world.
Just in case, when the Valesta Chamber of Commerce merchants select retired soldiers, they give priority to those who have families in the border or have a good reputation, and then try to adulterate some problematic retired soldiers, even if they There really is a problem, and those retired soldiers who want to support their families are suppressing it!
Employment files and employment records are established in the first time. As the information in this area becomes more and more comprehensive, the employment industry will embark on a formalized pace, and then the followers will naturally be like clouds.
Now we have a good start.
The Yongye Army led the goods that flowed into the Odin Prairie through the northern fortress line, but then flowed down the Jacob River to the royal capital Valesta, and then diverted to the border.
The tea, condiments and some mountain treasures they have in their hands are very popular on the Oding Prairie, and the prices are usually not low.
As to whether these goods will have a chance to be shipped to the Odin Prairie, it is still unknown. After all, the Byron Alliance also has a demand for the goods led by Yongye.
When Grand Duke Cedric wandered around for a long time and returned to the Broken Blood Castle, the merchants of the Valesta Chamber of Commerce also ran two or three back and forth for the long-distance, and there were more than eight or nine short-term runs. The part of the benefit that was given to the blood fort in the breach left him stunned. It was two or three times larger than the result of half a year after he went out for alms.
The soldiers of the Broken Blood Fort each ate their mouths full of oil, fat and strong.
There is no way. There are too many animals traded from Odin orcs, and the chances of having problems are naturally greater, and they are all cheaper.
After Grand Duke Cedric returned to the Blood Fortress, he was dragged by the generals who were not good at flattering, and his old face was flushed.
Obviously they took all this as the credit of Grand Duke Cedric.
Now they not only have a lot of wealth in their accounts, but they have also got rid of the burden of retired soldiers and found a new way out for them. In their memory, they have not been as rich as they are now.
This has 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 orc tribes of Odin rushed towards the Fracture Mountain Range in order to survive to avoid the tide of troops in the Western Odin Empire.
Their presence has increased the popularity of border trade.
If this continues, it will not be impossible for Broken Blood Castle to get rid of its dependence on the other Grand Duke families of the Byron Alliance, and will naturally have more voice at that time.
Grand Duke Cedric finally understood why in the last few days of his stay with the leader of the Evernight, Sean began to frantically promote the various military supplies they commanded, especially the Andis longbow and black powder.
The former is a weapon for defending the city, which greatly strengthens the long-range firepower of the Broken Blood Fort.
The latter is a strategic weapon, possessing the magical power to turn the impossible into possible.
All made Grand Duke Cedric salivate, and he signed a sale and purchase agreement of tens of millions in confusion. On the way back, he was still worried about what to pay for the Yongye army leader!
I didn't expect my finances to be so rich that paying this amount was not a problem.
It seemed that the young lord of the Yongye Army led the abacus from the beginning, and after a round, a lot of wealth still flowed to the Yongye Army leader.
In the whole process, it seemed that there was no loss, everyone got what they needed.
The Odin orc tribe got their own shortage of living supplies.
The Byron Alliance acquired a large number of scarce livestock.
Broken Blood Fort received a large amount of military expenses and supplies.
Valesta merchants and retired soldiers who were transferred to mercenaries gained their own wealth.
The Yongye Army leader smoothly sold off the large amount of arms 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 made a profit.
Grand Duke Cedric, who has tasted the sweetness, will naturally pay more attention to this matter to ensure that this business can go on for a long time~EbookFREE.me~ As the so-called financial and emotional heart.
With the huge benefits in it, the other Lords and Nobles of the Byron Alliance are also excited, wanting to get involved.
At this time, the Valesta Chamber of Commerce made a big concession during the initial negotiation with Grand Duke Cedric, and the advantage was manifested, but the big head was held in the hands of Broken Blood Castle.
If other people want to enter the arena, at least they have to be on par with the Valesta Chamber of Commerce, otherwise they won't have to take action at all, and the blood fort will naturally stop them.
Now it's not that Grand Duke Cedric asked his grandpa to sue them for alms, but they asked the blood fort to raise their hands and share their share of the pie.
Grand Duke Cedric's attitude is as tough as ever. Want to enter the market for gold?
Yes, as long as you and the Valesta Chamber of Commerce are at the same level, by the way, all the materials that should be supported to Broken Blood Fort will be supplemented as many as possible.
Otherwise, why should we allow you to move freely in our territory? For profit?
