Chapter 844 The Slaughtered Prince

Two cane sugar products with significant differences were placed in front of Elsarion. The factory director originally thought that the Assur nobleman, who was accompanied by the mayor, had completed the inspection.

It is reasonable to place a sky-high price order and supply it first at a premium price to show your distinguished status.

But who knows, Elsarion seems not to understand the deeper meaning of the factory director's words, and has no idea how to persuade these high-quality cane sugars to be lovable. He keeps nodding, but never takes the initiative to extend any topic.

The Watcher, whose family is not very wealthy, does not want to invest the little money left in the bottomless hole of improving food. This is the power of the sissy in the Inner Ring Kingdom. The people of Yris are not yet strong enough to enter the era of food liberalization. .

What makes him even more worried is how much profit the Dragon Palace has gained from it. The sugar industry is a hugely profitable industry. If it is not run by the state, then the private sector will definitely pay high taxes.

He carefully rubbed the beautiful white crystal substance in his hands and thought to himself.

No wonder Imric was so confident in withdrawing from the War Council, and was not worried at all about receiving commercial sanctions headed by Lothern. The sugar industry alone was enough for any businessman to risk breaking the law.

The Watcher clapped his palms, took a wet tissue and wiped it carefully to remove the sticky feeling from his fingertips.

Said to the mayor who was still accompanying him,

"Can you explain to me in detail the spices produced in Qingyan Port?"

The mayor paused for a moment, thought a little, and told the current situation about spices.

"As we all know, in the past, the main sources of spices in Ulthuan and the Old World were Cathay and Indy. Some of the more precious types, such as cinnamon, pepper, cloves, and nutmeg, were all exchanged for equal weight of gold. .

The environment of the Isthmus of Lustria is very suitable for large-scale spice cultivation. According to the instructions of the palace, a special spice planting commune was established, and every resident was obliged to take care of these priceless and rare plants.

We export at least dozens of tons of spices to the outside world every year. Thanks to the stable trade routes, the reputation of Qingyan Port spices in the old world has gradually surpassed that of Cathay and Indy. "

The mayor didn't lie, but he didn't tell the truth either. The most important factor in spice cultivation was the terrain and climate modification made by Lord Slan and the cultivation of some life-based spells. This made Qingyan Port spices not only magical, but also magical. Hard work, no less than the original Indy.

Elsharion thoughtfully said that food is a very important aspect when evaluating whether a palace is prominent.

If the master of a kingdom cannot even satisfy the tastes of his guests, how can he talk about being noble?

Perhaps the person who purchases the largest number of Qingyan Port spices and sugars every year is Lothern, whose banquet never stops.

This made the Watcher feel funny, but he also put forward the request to increase the delivery of spices to the Drift Islands.

Although the maximum profit would definitely not be obtained, as a second-tier dealer, when transporting spices to the old world, Iris could naturally increase some transportation costs as appropriate and earn a small profit from it.

With this in mind, the visiting group left the sugar factory and followed Elsarion's idea to patrol around the city.

What he saw along the way, the endless flow of vendors and people, and the mixed situation of various races made the watcher feel very novel.

He saw many human beings with completely different facial features here. Although the majority of them were Kislevians, the Imperials, Bretonnians, Southern Kingdom people, and Arabis all spoke fluent Kislevian. , exclaiming the sound of Ula.

With a little knowledge, the new generation of young people born are required to learn Elvish language in school. This is the rule set by Imrik.

A kingdom must have a mainstream and recognized language. The former refugees and slaves did not have the energy to teach, but after the city is on the right track, they must understand who the master of the kingdom is.

The watcher's keen hearing completely lost its function after entering the trade area, and it was even difficult to distinguish where the sound came from.

This is the place where traders gather the most. Merchants from all over the world bring goods and gold, and...

custom.

Kislev with a strong dwarf accent, Imperial with a Kislev accent, Dwarf with an imperial accent, Elvish with a Cathay accent, Cathay with an Arabi accent, and even the long-forgotten Nehe The Kara language can be vaguely heard.

Generally speaking, language barrier is a very troublesome thing. If it is a diplomatic session, two impartial translators must be present to interpret clearly what each other means.

But in the trade process, this little trouble doesn't matter at all, because gold is enough to make all troubles disappear.

The numb Elsharion, after wandering around the trade area for two hours, finally walked out of this cage made of gold.

In order to actually experience what it's like to be a customer, he did not use the magic of language communication. He only relied on experience and knowledge and visited many shops.

He himself does not have high requirements for life. He has been accompanied by books in the White Tower of Hos since he was a child. Walking among the dazzling array of goods, he just feels ridiculous.

If it were in the past, Elsharion might only remember the prices of these goods and silently analyze the registration afterwards to see if Iris could find some opportunities in them.

But now, he is no longer alone.

The watchman, carrying a small wooden box, walked out of the trading area and couldn't help but recall the scene just now.

A Cathay man said that the pink pearl bracelet he sells is the Tears of the Queen of the Moon, a treasure condensed by the winds of the Five Elements Compass of Cathay. The wearer can receive the Queen's mercy throughout his life, ensuring good weather and good health. .

Of course, Elsharion didn't understand what the Cathay man was talking about. The reason why he caught sight of her at first glance was that the pink pearls were very similar to his wife's eyes - equally pure and alluring.

The Cathayans asked for a thousand gold leaf coins, which made Eltharion feel very embarrassed. A decoration with no magic fluctuations was worth a thousand gold leaf coins?

The watcher who didn't want to be slaughtered left immediately, but was soon stopped by the Cathay people, who said that everything is easy to discuss, and this time we will give him a discount. We are very destined, maybe it is the Dragon Emperor's will, and he is willing to give the moon queen The hanging curtain is given to the elves.

The watcher who didn't understand this cliché, while Kara couldn't help shaking his head and sighing, finally bought this full and round pearl bracelet for a hundred gold leaf coins...

Elsharion handed the ebony box to the attendant and asked Mayor Carla, who was silent all the time,

"How much is the real price of this bracelet?"

“Including transportation costs, maybe twenty gold leaf coins, if you want pink pearls as decorations, you can spend two gold leaf coins to let the fishermen go to the sea to catch some pearl clams.

The sea area of ​​Lustria is in the protection stage, and it is probably much rounder and fuller than the Tears of the Moon Queen sold by the Cathayans. "(End of chapter)
