The most hateful thing is that if you don't go deep enough, they will just stare at you in the dark from a distance. Only when you go deep enough will they appear. The deepest among those who come back alive is just gone.

It’s only 70 to 80 kilometers in a day and a half. No one knows what will happen further in.

What's more, no one has come back alive yet, including the carefully selected ghost slaves, who can only see in but not out.

There were some daring ones who went into the mountains under the pretense of doing business, but at most they had only walked seventy or eighty kilometers along the Jacob's Ancient River before they were stopped by people from a village, but they didn't embarrass them.

Just tell them that if you want to do business, you can do it with them. If you go further, you will be dead.

The appearance of the village is very strange. It is placed on the ground and cannot be lived in. Like the castles of the Lords and Nobles, it is built on the mountainside. It already has the prototype of the castle. The whole is a masonry structure, layered on top of each other. It is very...

Three-dimensional feeling.

It was incredibly neat and tidy, and the goods here were quite complete. In addition to the regular leather goods and medicinal herbs of the Andis mountain people, they also found a large amount of honey. After asking, the price was incredibly cheap. One hundred pounds of salt could be exchanged for one.

Pounds of honey are incredibly cheap.

Although it is true that Manyu Military Leader is deep inland, it does have the largest salt lake in the continent. Although it is also a controlled product, it has a little power, so it is not a problem to buy it in large quantities.

Honey is different. It is an absolute luxury product. In the Asia Minor plains where beekeeping is relatively developed, it is exclusively supplied by noble lords, not to mention that most of the territory belongs to the semi-Gobi Manyu Army.

This thing can only be transported thousands of miles from other places. It is not common even on the tables of nobles and nobles, let alone ordinary families. Only those greedy children, with their heads full of risks, come from wild honeycombs.

Do something to satisfy your craving.

With this New World, those profit-seeking businessmen had long forgotten other things and worked as hard-working porters, exchanging cartloads of salt and grain for cartloads of honey.

The huge profits from the sales are enough to make these businessmen laugh out of their dreams. Although the majority of it does not belong to them, even the remaining small part is enough for them to live a luxurious life.

As for the ban, what a joke, without the support of those nobles and nobles, how could the caravan organized by ordinary people safely carry a large amount of goods through the market in such a chaotic situation?

How could it be possible to transport military supplies such as salt and grain across the Bastille army to the Andes Mountains?

There is no doubt that Duke Borg not only knew about it, but was also the biggest participant.

Judging from the current situation of the Manyu military leader, it is impossible to restart the slave trade in the short term. However, with the continuous battles, the Phelan family's finances are tight and the deficit is serious. They must develop new financial sources. Suddenly, in the Andis Mountains,

The large amount of honey that came out made the finance ministers of the Duke's Palace shine.

In this world of scarcity, any dessert is a luxury product, a scarce resource, a hard currency that is as good as gold and silver, and is in short supply.

Not only can they be used for their own use, but they can also be used as foreign trade goods and transported to other territories to be sold at high prices.

Any experienced businessman knows that these days, the quickest way to make money is by deducting three melons and two dates from the untouchables. After being exploited at all levels, they have basically no residual value. The wealth belongs to the nobles and nobles.

The private treasure house is moldy and rotten. Most of the time, there is no place to spend it. Making their money is the fastest way.

Another point is that high-purity honey is relatively easy to store. As long as it is put into a sealed wooden barrel, it can be stored for several years. In addition, it has high value and small size, so it is suitable for becoming a commodity.

Once this kind of thing opens up, it is like a flooded dam that cannot be blocked even if it is tried.

In any era, the most courageous group of people are not heroes and warriors, but businessmen, especially businessmen who are faced with the temptation of sufficient benefits. They dare to walk hundreds of miles or even hundreds of miles alone with a lot of wealth.

They traveled thousands of miles to earn the meager price difference. If the benefits were big enough, they could ignore the crime of decapitation.

Chebman is one of the best. Ever since he embarked on the road of doing business with eight Byron silver coins that he collected from here and there, he knew that this is a game for the brave. Only those who dare to do things that others dare not do

Only by doing things can you earn your own share of wealth.

He has done everything from selling needlework to running business with large caravans, but it has always been a small business, with profits and losses, and he has been struggling to survive. However, he has not given up hope. He firmly believes that it is not that he is not working hard, but that

I haven't met my own luck yet.

Then six months ago, the opportunity came and he seized it.

Yes, he was the first spy to enter the Andis Mountains under the guise of doing business.

However, when Chebman entered the mountains, he was not what people praise now. He had an outstanding business vision that ordinary people did not have. If he was really as amazing as they praised, would he still be so miserable in the first half of his life?

The business I was running at that time was affected by the war, plummeted, and I still owed a lot of debt. Those creditors came to my door every day to cause trouble, and I really couldn't survive in the job. At this time, the Bastille was captured by the Andis Mountain residents.

When news of the attack came, the Duke of Faerûn was furious and sent a large army to attack.

He found connections and infiltrated into the servant army, hoping to take the opportunity to make a fortune, but he still suffered bad luck. A fire burned out all the hopes of those who had the same purpose as him. Of course, compared to those who perished in the sea of ​​​​fire,

Man, he is relatively lucky.

Then the great turmoil in the entire Manyu military leadership began. At this time, he wisely chose to stay and garrison in the rebuilt Bastille.

Chebman knew how much he weighed. When it came to the battlefield, his little arms and legs would be cannon fodder at best. The rebuilt Bastille looked very dangerous, and there would be no big battles to be fought in the short term.

This can be seen from the fact that the other party took the initiative to retreat deep into the mountains. The other party did not intend to provoke Manyu's army to lead a large army, at least not now.

Then a turning point in his life came, but this turning point was not something he took the initiative to strive for, but was forced. The Baron Patram, who was stationed in the Bastille, may have had a sudden idea in his dream while taking a nap, and came up with the idea of ​​letting him go.

The spy dressed up as a businessman and went into the mountains to conduct reconnaissance. As a small businessman with many years of business experience, it was his true nature to face such a job!

In this way, Chebman was betrayed by his captain. He went into the mountains with a meager amount of goods in a daze, and then bumped into the village in a daze. Then he discovered mountain flower honey in the village, and then returned in a daze.

When he arrived at the Bastille, he presented it to Baron Patreme, and then he was promoted to a quartermaster in the Bastille garrison.

As a quartermaster, he does not care about the army's equipment and other matters, but is responsible for transactions with the Andis mountain people in the mountains. He has more than a hundred people under his command, including his former captain, among whom he is Shanhua Honey.

The focus of purchasing.

In his wild thoughts, Chebman's destination this time has arrived - the grocery store.

That's right, this store has no name, it's just called the General Store, and there's no mistaking it. It's the only one in the entire village, but Chebman usually calls it Bridgehead General Store, which is the name of the village.

He always thought the name was weird. There was neither a river nor a bridge. What kind of bridgehead was it called?

Regarding this issue, the owner of Qiaotoubao Grocery Store always smiles and says nothing.

Speaking of the owner of the bridgehead grocery store, Chebman knew very well that the confusing experience that he couldn't explain half a year ago was actually not confusing at all, especially when he saw the young boss for the first time.

From the beginning to the end, it was not that I found the bridgehead and this grocery store, but that others led me all the way here, in order to deliver the killer weapon of mountain flower honey to the hands of important people through my own hands.

As one of those who gained immediate benefits, Chebman had to pretend to be confused even if he understood. As more and more people participated and the scale of the business grew, this confusion would probably last forever.

The young grocer greeted him with a smile on his face, "Mr. Chibman, you are finally here. This time you are two days later than usual. If you are still a day or two later, I will sell the goods to others."

.”

Chebman calmed down and said with a careful smile: "Please forgive me, Boss Ralph. It's not that I meant to delay, but the road was not smooth, and I encountered a group of thieves. I was delayed for two days. I can't come to the door empty-handed."

Okay, forgive me, forgive me, I won’t do it next time, I won’t do it next time.”

"Okay, I also know your difficulties. No one's life is easy these days. Let's talk inside."

"Please come first, please come first."

"No need to be polite when you are here. I am the host and you are the guest. There is no reason why a guest should give way to the host. You should invite me first."

"Being respectful is worse than obeying orders."

"Let's get straight to the point. The prices are still the same, but I have to remind Mr. Chibman that if I make two more trips at most, this transaction will have to stop."

"Stop? Why? Aren't we doing a good job? Why did we stop when we said stop?" Chebman jumped up before his butt even touched the stool.

Are you kidding me? This is a big deal with tens of thousands of Byron silver coins per order. If it suddenly stops, not only will I feel heartbroken, but the Baron behind me who is addicted to money-grabbing will not let him go easily.

"Don't worry, I haven't finished speaking yet!" Ralph, who had suddenly transformed into the owner of the Qiaotou grocery store, showed his signature smile, "It's not that we want to stop, but God doesn't allow it. The reincarnation of the seasons is about to begin.

It's winter and all the flowers have faded. Where can I get you so much honey?"

"It's true! It's true! I was wrong. I was wrong. The sale of honey is seasonal and cannot be controlled by manpower."

Chebman wiped the profuse sweat from his forehead, but he was still sitting up and down, looking a little ugly.
