Realm of Power

414 Turga (2)

The night is like water, and the bright moonlight shuttles through the layers of clouds.

The fat man took the guards and sat down in a tavern on the street. Hu Keqili followed cautiously. The fat man waved to the tavern owner and ordered a few glasses of Langjia wine, which is unique to the grassland.

This kind of wine is brewed from Langjia seeds that have just sprouted in March. This kind of grass seeds can be seen everywhere on the grassland and is the most common grass species. Langjiu can be said to be Kujit’s national drink.

Herdsmen often collect langaga grass seeds on the spot near their tents in the spring, then seal them in water-filled skin bags. After three months of sealed fermentation in the spring,

Until the grass seeds are completely turned into sour water, giving off a sour and unpleasant smell, and then adding a special spice called Laruka,

The fat man took a bite, and the slightly bitter taste in his mouth was filled with a sour grass seed aroma.

The taste was quite good, it felt a bit like a modern refreshing wheat beer. The fat man smacked his lips and his face immediately turned red.

"Grand Duke, how should we deal with Kujit's request?" Hu Keqili asked in a low voice, looking at the Grand Duke's frowning eyebrows,

Hu Keqili knew that this matter was by no means as simple as it seemed, but he didn't know what Fatty was thinking, so he only dared to test it carefully.

"Ignore him, drag him on first." The fat man took another sip of wine, wiped the foam from the corner of his mouth with his hand, and said with a rosy face.

"Since it is a negotiation, both sides need to show some sincerity. The Kugits are used to being the boss. Now we need to tell him with facts. We, Wikiya, are not either.

Helping them resist Rui Erdian is out of the interests of the kingdom. If the trade routes in the eastern grassland are not opened up, there is no way to expect a designated cargo to be transported into Yunzhong City."

"This, isn't it appropriate to be afraid?" Hu Keqili looked stunned for a moment, feeling a little troubled.

"This is just a trade mission in name only. Even if we use Wikiya's official name, we can't completely control the incoming caravans. The Kugits can get what they need through other channels."

"You don't have to worry about this matter. You are a good general when it comes to charging into battle, but when it comes to various means in business wars, you must leave it to "professionals" to deal with. Fatty's embarrassment to Hu Keqili, He whispered with a mysterious face

"You can use what I gave you to go to the Business Alliance branch and tell them that this is an occasional order.

I don’t care what method they use, if another piece of goods is transported into Turga City within five days, they will all go back to the country."

The fat man's voice paused and continued, "You have to remember that this is a war. Although there is no sword battle, it is the most direct economic collision between the two countries. At this point, we, Wikiia, have an absolute advantage. right to speak"

"Starting from tomorrow, your task is to drag Doweiyan to sit tight for me, no matter how tempting the Kugit people propose,

You have to learn to shake your head and say, unfortunately, without the eastern grassland, there would be nothing.”

"Sir, is this so..." Hu Keqili looked embarrassed. He directly confronted the Kugits. It was not like the Grand Duke's usual style of secretly scheming.

He carefully looked at the fat man's slightly drunk face and said cautiously, "Restricting caravans from entering Turga is fatal to the Kugit Royal Court, which is in urgent need of expanding its power.

Hundreds of thousands of tribes gathered in Turga City. Not to mention the need for weapons and equipment, the daily consumption of hundreds of thousands of people is measured in tons.

The subordinates are afraid that if a restraining order is issued,

The Court of Kugit itself will collapse under this heavy burden.

At that time, it will actually help the Ruidian people a big favor.

Opening up the eastern grassland is also beneficial to the royal court. I believe the Kugit royal court will know what choice to make."

"Haha, there are some things you don't understand." The fat man smiled and placed the wine glass in his hand heavily on the table.

"Politics sometimes requires this kind of directness. I just want the Kugit Court to realize this. We in Vecilia are not afraid of toughness and delay.

Make it clear to them,

What is in front of them now is not the small southern country before, but a rising southern hegemon.

Behind us are a hundred thousand elite troops and tens of thousands of Vekian caravans.

What you have to do is to give such a clear warning to the Kugit people."

"Warning?" Hu Keqili's expression tightened. There was something wrong in the Grand Duke's words, but he quickly realized it and said with a trembling voice, "The Grand Duke said that this time, we, Wekiya, are asked to provide supplies. It is the Kugits." A trap?”

Seeing Hu Keqili's look of sudden realization, the fat man said solemnly, "Although it's not clear yet, we need to make a posture even more.

We need to make the Kugits realize that there will be no good results if they accuse us of conspiracy and ambition.

"Otherwise," the fat man paused, and a chilling smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "we don't need a war, we can also let the Kujit Khanate collapse on its own.

"Yes, I understand." Hu Keqili nodded with sudden realization, stood up from his seat and said, "I will go to the Business Alliance branch to arrange this matter and never let a single piece of goods flow into Yunzhong City."

"Well, this matter must be done immediately." The fat man nodded. A cold light flashed in his drunken eyes, and he shook his fist at Hu Keqili who was about to stand up and leave his seat.

"If Duo Weiyan is held back, his instigators will have to step forward in person to let them know who is the real protagonist."

The morning light shines through the gaps between the towering superstructures of Yunzhong City,

The golden sunshine dispels the darkness of the night and brings warmth and light to the earth.

The caravan was marching on the vast grassland, and the carriages loaded with goods made a rutting sound on the flat grassy hills.

Azar, the leader of the caravan, wiped the dust and sweat off his face with his hands. As the carriage passed through the corner of the hill, the scenery in front of him suddenly brightened.

Under the blue sky, a white city rises into the sky like a huge sky pillar, looking particularly beautiful against the blue background.

"Hurry up, speed up!" Azar shouted happily, waving to the dozens of caravans behind him, with an unconcealable joy on his face.

After passing the fork in the road, it was the destination of this trip, Cloud City Turga. As long as he ran like this 6 times, his merchant qualification level would break through the intermediate merchant level 3. That was the watershed for merchant levels. Only Only intermediate level 3 is qualified to operate Wikiia's most generous goods "weapons"

Suddenly, a black pennant appeared at the intersection. A middle-aged man wearing a Business Alliance uniform and a person who looked like an accountant from the Business Association stood at the intersection.

"I'm sorry that there is a problem with Turga's trade route. All caravans are asked to go to Ventres in the north to unload their goods." The middle-aged man stopped the carriage traveling in the direction and handed a sign of a business alliance to the confused Aza. you

"The Business Alliance is already ready to receive the goods in Ventress. You only need to hand in your goods together with the tags, and we will pay you according to the current price."

"Ventres?" Azar's face was confused. "We have walked from the border of Wikiia to here for 15 days. If we have to go further north to Ventres, we will lose a lot..." "

"You don't have to worry about this at all." The middle-aged man from the Business Alliance smiled and waved to interrupt Azar's words.

"We will give you relevant compensation in Ventress based on 30% of the total price of the goods, and your enthusiastic assistance this time will also be recorded in the records of our business alliance.

The middle-aged man looked at the cargo certificate mark on Azar's carriage again, with a gentle smile on his lips.

"As a reward for your friendly behavior, your cargo level in the Business Alliance will be increased from the current level 2 intermediate merchant to a level 3 intermediate merchant. In other words, you only need to go north for 2 more days, which is equivalent to completing 1 more Transaction volume of 10,000 gold coins”

"You mean that as long as I place goods in Ventress, not only can I get 30% more of the price of the goods, but I can also be directly promoted to a level 3 intermediate merchant." Azar almost suspected that he had heard wrong. This is an incredible good thing. Let his unhappiness fly away to the sky

In business alliances, merchant levels are generally divided into high-level, mid-level, and low-level. Each level is divided into 5 levels. Each level corresponds to different supply privileges.

Level 2 merchants like Azar can only transport some daily necessities. Only merchants who have passed Intermediate Level 3 are eligible for weapon subsidies and operating rights.

That is something more profitable than these daily necessities. It is the first step into the big business class.

If you reach a higher level of senior businessman,

He is qualified to traffic in the most profitable luxury goods. He is a nominally junior wealthy businessman.

Of course, the quota of goods that can be obtained is still related to the level.

This seemingly layer-by-layer hierarchy of grades and privileges allows these businessmen to make a lot of money while also watching themselves move step by step towards their own bright future.

This exciting excitement and sense of achievement has made many small businessmen addicted

Small caravans like Azar are the main members of the caravans in Kugit. Under the tempting conditions issued by the commercial alliance, most merchants have made wise choices, and many caravans traveling to and from the Turga area have detour,

Within one day, the Business Alliance intercepted more than 300 large and small caravans outside the city of Turga, intercepted more than ten tons of goods, and subsidized nearly 400,000 gold coins.

No one dares to interfere with the decision of the Business Alliance, because the certificates and routes for picking up the goods must be issued by the Business Alliance, otherwise they will be included in the unpopular blacklist.

They will no longer be able to obtain urgently needed goods and price privileges from the business alliance network. To a certain extent, their business careers will be over.

Of course, there are also many unnamed smugglers. They also received warnings from the Business Alliance outside Turga City, but they just laughed about it.

But soon the receptionist of the Business Alliance gave them a post with a name stamp on it. Even the boldest smuggler was frightened by the post in his hand.

The words in the post are very kind and tactful. Apart from the nonsense of asking for help, I hope everyone can cooperate with this embargo. The business alliance will remember the friendship of helping this time.

"What does this mean?" A smuggler looked confused and looked at the kind middle-aged man in front of him. Could it be that the people in the Business Alliance were stupid?

Are you going to make yourself run north for another two days with a few words that don't hurt?

"I'm sorry, your business alliance can't order me." The smuggler handed the post to his assistant in shame, and prepared to enter the fork in front of him.

"This is..." The assistant looked at the name sticker in his hand curiously, with a puzzled look on his face. Suddenly, the assistant's eyes were fixed on the back of the name sticker.

"Sir, let's go to Ventres..." The assistant gently pushed his boss with an ugly expression and said in a hesitant voice.

"Well, what's the matter?" The smuggler looked stunned. His assistant was also a ruthless figure in the underworld, killing people without blinking an eye.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t have taken it with me specially, but what happened today?

Not only was his voice surprisingly low, but his face also changed.

"Look at this post, sir," the assistant whispered. The hand holding the name post trembled slightly. Even his voice was wrong this time.

"Isn't a name card just a name card?" The smuggling businessman felt that his assistant was so embarrassed that he was so frightened by a business alliance's name card.

If word spreads about this, how can he still get away with his reputation as a "rock"?

The smuggler took the name card angrily and glanced at the words on it again. Is there any difference?

"Sir, the back, the back of the name card," the assistant reminded in a low voice.

"The back side?" The smuggler turned over the famous post in his hand and saw a dazzling white thorn flower engraved on the back of the post.

The "Grand Duke of Falcon" smuggler's face suddenly turned extremely pale, and the hand holding the name card felt like it was being burned.

There is no fear of business alliances in Wikiia, but absolutely no one dares to challenge the powerful Grand Duke Falcon.

This is the demon king who has swept through all of Wikidia in two years.

Excluding the Kugits, more than 500,000 migrants died in the southern and northern wars, and the number of people killed in the war alone exceeded 100,000.

The amount of human blood on my hand is not even comparable to a hair on the opponent's side.

In the two years since Samor’s rise,

There are even rumors that the falcon flag that this great man used to intimidate his enemies was dyed red with the blood of his enemies.

This big shot often seems to have a preference for underground forces.

Bloodbathed Zhivadin’s underground forces and suppressed Cresto City.

Once it was a thunderous means, a disaster, a spring breeze and rain, and the wind and rain

The two attacks were both a major reshuffle of underground forces.

Even if he is his own master,

The big boss of Hertha Nord, in front of this big man, could only bow his head.

"Order the entire team to go to Ventress." The smuggler gritted his teeth and said to his assistant,

"Sent another group." The head of the business alliance branch who received the reception wiped the sweat from his head, looked at the smuggling caravan going away, and thought to himself, "
