“Are you from the Hemu Caravan?”
In the reception hall, Richard’s voice rang out from the main seat.
Martins came back to his senses, froze for a moment, and quickly said:
“Greetings, respected Viscount! In reply to your words, our caravan is the Heim caravan! My name is Martins, and I am the head of the caravan.”
Richard hummed casually and glanced at him lightly:
“Whether it’s Hem or Hem, it doesn’t matter.”
Martins smiled and said:
“Yes, yes, yes! It’s not important, it’s not important!”
He smiled bitterly in his heart. My ancestral surname has been changed. How can it not be important?
But he dared not say this. After all, the other party is a man of his word here. To put it bluntly, not doing business with him is a small matter, even if he robs his property, it is nothing. If the other party is really unhappy, killing and robbing is just a matter of thought.
As the saying goes, wealth and honor are sought in danger, and the danger of opening up trade routes lies here.
This is also the reason why most caravans are unwilling and dare not easily try to open up new trade routes.
Also because of the huge profits of trade routes, it is impossible to let their subordinates open up, otherwise once the managers under their command establish a relationship with the territorial bosses on the trade routes, the result is that their subordinates’ ambitions will grow and they will leave the caravan.
Therefore, if a caravan is really to be opened, the person in charge of the caravan, or the son of the person in charge, will generally be the pioneer leader.
Martins is one of the few caravan leaders who still has some courage.
“So, your caravan is coming to trade with my Long Eagle Territory?” Richard looked at him with interest.
Martins nodded immediately, but as an experienced caravan leader, he naturally would not forget the etiquette of meeting, so he quickly said:
“My lord, before that, please allow me to present you with a generous gift to show my respect to you!”
“”Oh?” Richard smiled and said casually,”Then bring it up for us to see.”
Soon, someone took out a wooden box and handed it over.
The wooden box was not small, half a meter long and more than a foot wide, but only half a foot thick.
“This is what you call a ‘gift’’?”Richard was a little curious about what was in this obviously specially made box.”Open it and take a look.””
“Yes!”
As Martins opened the wooden box himself, many people around him showed amazed expressions.
Cinderella and Rhodes also opened their mouths slightly in surprise.
Only Richard looked disappointed.
It turned out to be just a mirror?
Martins had not noticed Richard’s expression yet, and was excitedly introducing:
“Sir, this is a mirror made of mercury coating, which can clearly reflect a person’s image. Even if it is placed in the capital, it is a good thing that many great people dream of.
Along the way, I have never given this mirror to you until I saw you. I was shocked by your heroic and magnificent appearance, so I thought of using this mirror as a gift for you to highlight your unparalleled style!”
“So, if I don’t have this mirror, I can’t be called peerless and heroic?” Richard sneered.
Martins immediately knelt down:
“Please forgive me, sir. I never meant that!”
Richard snorted coldly and waved his hand in a disinterested manner:
“”Okay, it’s just a mirror, tell me about your goods!”
Richard was not interested in the mirror at all, and there was nothing strange about it.
If it was the queen’s magic mirror, he might look at it with a higher regard, but forget about it as an ordinary mirror.
Martins was stunned, knowing that his horse had hit the horse’s leg before, and he didn’t dare to mention the mirror anymore, and said quickly:
“My Lord, I have brought a lot of good stuff this time! There are peppers that can only grow in the place where dragons live, silk that grows on mysterious oriental trees, swords given by gods, and porcelain brought from the oriental wonderland.……”
Before he could finish, Richard interrupted him.
He was really fed up with the merchants on this continent. Isn’t it just pepper, silk, weapons and porcelain? He really brags without thinking.
Why don’t you say you are a fairy from heaven?
The reincarnation of the God of Wealth?
The most important thing is, you have to be more realistic when you brag, right? Do
I really look like an idiot who is easy to be fooled?
Richard felt as if his IQ was insulted.
“I need food, iron ore, and slaves. Do you have any?”
He did not let the merchant continue to speak, but directly stated his needs.
“Yes! All of them!”
The businessman was slightly stunned, then he quickly reacted and nodded immediately:
“Sir, our caravan currently carries more than 6,000 kilograms of food and two carts of iron ore, but we have fewer slaves, only about ten.
You know, if the slaves die, it will be a loss, and it will be difficult to take care of them if we bring too many!”
He said with an awkward smile, and then quickly added:
“But don’t worry, if you have any needs in this regard, I will definitely bring you a large number of slaves next time!”
After saying this, the merchant looked at Richard with a flattering smile, the fat on his face was shiny, and it trembled with his smile, which was annoying.
Richard closed his eyes speechlessly and nodded:
“Very good! I want all the food, iron ore and slaves you brought this time!”
After all, he didn’t like the greasy image of this businessman, but who can go against supplies?
As for the reward!
During this period, Richard’s team hunted a lot of tree spirits.
To be honest, there are still many low-level extraordinary creatures like tree spirits in the forest.
At the beginning, they also informed Richard that as the militia became stronger and stronger, and their cooperation became more and more skilled, they didn’t even need Richard to come forward, and they dealt with the tree spirits themselves.
At this time, Richard had accumulated a lot of extraordinary materials in his warehouse.
Richard waved his hand, and a pile of materials immediately appeared on the carpet in front of him.
“A tree spirit heart and the remains of these extraordinary creatures, is that enough?”Richard said calmly.
The merchant was surprised at Richard’s ability to conjure something out of thin air, but the next moment his eyes were attracted by the tree spirit heart on the ground, and he nodded immediately:
“”Enough! Too much!”
These things, even at the normal purchase price in remote areas, are worth two or three hundred gold coins.
Enough to buy all the supplies Richard mentioned earlier.
When Richard saw the other party’s expression, he knew that the other party must have made a lot of money.
But it doesn’t matter. Giving the other party a little sweetness at the beginning will make him work hard for himself.
After all, his appetite cannot be satisfied by these six thousand kilograms of food. At the same time, he also despised the happy appearance of these merchants. If he met some black-hearted sellers, they would have eaten them up long ago.
