The First Tyrant of Daxia
Chapter 2173 Merchants in the Wild Mountains
In the vast territory of the British region, there is a rare mountain range with mountains and water, and lush forests, as if it is in its original primitive state since ancient times.
At this time, on this rugged mud road, a convoy was walking on the mud road with one step deep and one step shallow.
This convoy was a grain transport convoy, loaded with all kinds of vegetables and grains. It was full, with dozens of cars. The long convoy moved like a long snake.
In this era, caravans transporting grain were quite common, and they were all traveling groups of merchants.
The reason why these merchants made a lot of money from these grains was because of the information gap.
For example, a certain kind of grain is not available in Place A, but is abundant in Place B, resulting in a very low price. However, if this grain is transported from Place B to Place A, it can be sold at a high price.
Therefore, many traveling merchants always travel around with their caravans.
You can make money, but it's really tiring.
But this time it seemed a little strange.
Because there are too many.
These dozens of carts of food are enough to feed tens of thousands of people for several days.
Even the merchants who traveled all over the country had never seen such a scene.
Unless it was a large army, they couldn't think of any other possibilities.
Such a large amount of food cannot be provided by a single merchant alone. It takes more than a dozen caravans joining together to provide such a large amount of food at one time.
But there is no way, because the sellers offer too high a price and want too many things, so they can earn a very generous reward from this trip.
"Tell me, who bought this grain and what was it for?" a traveling merchant couldn't help asking.
The merchant next to him was also puzzled: "I don't know. The person who bought the grain was very mysterious. He just said that it was delivered here, but he didn't say anything."
"Hey, why do you worry about this? When it comes to business, it's done as long as the money is in place. Why do you care who he is or what he is bought for?" said a pot-bellied middle-aged man impatiently.
"that is!"
Many businessmen also nodded in agreement.
Because of this incident, these former competitors gathered together and came to the same place.
However, at the beginning, they were unaware of each other's existence, but instead joined together on the road.
After all, this place is primitive and wild. Not to mention the traveling merchants, even the bards and rangers who like to travel around would not come to such a place.
Eventually, the businessmen agreed not to discuss the matter any further.
However, they are all knowledgeable and experienced people, and they can vaguely feel that something is wrong.
They couldn't think of any other way to use so much food except to make military supplies.
Now the entire territory of the former British Empire has been conquered by Qin Yun, and the entire British region is under Qin Yun's control.
Under such circumstances, apart from Qin Yun's army, no other army could appear in the Great Britain District.
The possibility of this suspected army appearing at this time can only mean one thing.
These traveling merchants travel far and wide, across mountains and rivers, just to make money.
Even though they knew that there was something wrong with the other party, these merchants did not dare to think about it too much and had to pretend that they knew nothing and understood nothing.
For them, they only need to deliver the things the buyers need to the designated place. As for who buys these things, it really has nothing to do with them!
As long as they pay money, anyone can be their customer.
A group of people, each with their own ulterior motives, walked towards the depths of the mountains and gradually came to an open space.
It was obvious that this open space had been cleared not long ago. The surrounding trees all had signs of being newly cut down, and some of the trees had signs of being covered with patina just recently.
Even the ground had just been tidied, otherwise it would have been covered with waist-high weeds.
These obvious signs naturally could not escape the attention of these most astute businessmen, but they all pretended not to see them.
"discharge!"
Following the orders from a dozen merchants, the workers who followed also began to dismantle the food from the convoy.
The purpose of leaving an open space is obvious, which is to allow them to pile up all the food here.
These merchants were all smart people and they all started unloading the goods.
In order to leave this barren land as soon as possible, merchants urged their workers to unload the goods quickly.
After unloading the goods, they ran away very fast.
The merchants who had not yet finished unloading their goods wanted them to help unload the goods, but when they saw this scene, they could only express their helplessness.
Finally, before the sun was about to set over the sea, the merchants had unloaded all the food that was supposed to be delivered.
These businessmen also breathed a sigh of relief, and then left in a hurry, not even daring to rest for a moment.
After these merchants walked away and disappeared, a lot of people suddenly appeared in the depths of the mountains and forests. These people were all wearing uniform armor, and their movements were very orderly. They were obviously soldiers in the army.
"Move all this food into the valley!"
A young but majestic voice came from not far away, and a figure walked out of the valley with the gait of a dragon and a tiger. He had a noble temperament, and his every move was full of the majesty of a king.
Next to him, there was a middle-aged man in fancy clothes. Although his bearing and majesty were far inferior to the young man next to him, he was also a person in power at first glance, and had his own aura.
"Yes, my king!"
When the soldiers heard the young man's words, they immediately worked harder to move the food piled on the open space.
The middle-aged man at the side looked at the busy soldiers and asked in confusion: "Meredith, why did you buy so much food and pile it up in this valley deep in the mountains and old forests?"
This young man with extraordinary bearing and kingly majesty is naturally Meredith, and the middle-aged man next to him is the Duke of Polk who fled with Meredith.
At the beginning, Meredith found Polk and took him to say that they wanted to go through Noahville Castle to find the Fryes, a strange and secluded people.
But Meredith did not take Polk directly to the vicinity of Noahville Castle, nor did she launch an attack on Noahville Castle, and there was not even any discussion.
This made Duke Polk feel very strange, and he didn't understand what Meredith was doing.
Later, Meredith spent a large amount of money to buy large quantities of grain from grain merchants from all over the place, and then stored it in the mountains.
This made Duke Polk even more confused.
Meredith's actions seemed to indicate that she had no intention of passing through Noahville Castle, but rather was planning to use this valley as her camp.
Otherwise, why would he stockpile so much food?
