Divine Throne of Primordial Blood Chapter 46: Contact (medium)
The walled door opened, and a large crowd burst out from it.
The old man, headed by archery, said: "old man Charle, is the village head here. I have seen Inquisitor Su. Please forgive me for being rude.
"The village chief Charle is polite. It is our recklessness that killed Guizhai Tamer by mistake. I am willing to make compensation for this." Su Chen replied.
When he heard the compensation, the old man lightened his eyes immediately: "I knew Inquisitor Su must be a good friend. Come on, please come in."
Fuck, why did n’t you say that when you were close to the enemy, now you are excited when you hear compensation.
The villagers have no experience but no experience, but people who have no experience also have their own Mind's Eye. The pursuit of benefits is always endless. The difference lies in what interests they value.
Su Chen is not in a hurry. While talking with Charle, touching the bottom of the village, he is also watching everything around him.
Zhaizi is not big, it's called Residing Music Stronghold.
The name is quite meaningful, but unfortunately this is not the case.
In terms of scale, the number of people in Residing Music Stronghold does not exceed 300. In the open space in the middle of the village, there are two behemoths, which are also two Top Grade Vicious Beast, and this moment is sitting on the ground in a dull way.
Su Chen didn't know until after asking. There were three Vicious Beast here. There is no need for villagers to feed. They go out for food by themselves and come back.
Su Chen secretly surprised.
Feeding is the basic condition for taming animals. It is the so-called dependence that will be at your command.
People control beasts by controlling food. It has been a habit for thousands of years, but now, there are Vicious Beasts that can be controlled without domestication. There are many things worth playing in it.
But Su Chen also knows that this is a secret of the village, so it ’s not easy to ask directly, so I just knocked sideways:
"Listening to the Charle village chief just now, you and Clear River City’s bloodline noble clan seem to be at war with each other? What's going on? What about trading?"
Charle replied: "Well, this happened originally because of the transaction. Since Inquisitor Su came to this River West Forest, we should also know something about this forest."
Su Chen nodded: "Know a little. River West Forest is complex and dangerous. Not only Vicious Beast is abused, but also occult cursed. Few people can enter it without dying except the locals."
"Yes! Inquisitor Su can enter here and kill Saint ... Vicious Beast. It is obvious that there is a great ability. But most people don't have this ability. This River West Forest is rich in various resources. They want to Collecting, after all, depends on us natives. "
"That's right. Besides, you are originally River West people, and the resources of River West are also given to you, so outsiders are allowed to pick and choose." Su Chen is also pointing at the point.
"That's Ah!" The old man was immediately excited: "So what price do we want to sell for this River West resource, it's up to us to figure it out?"
"That's natural." Su Chen already understands the whole story.
"But this is not the case." The samurai leader next to him resentfully said: "The resource pricing power of River West Jungle has always been in the hands of bloodline noble clan of Clear River. We can only sell whatever price they quote. The number one herb is hundred gold a tael, but they bought us a gold a tael! "
"So big a price difference?" Su Chen was also taken aback by the price difference.
"Not really! At first we did n’t know the outside market. They were cheated by them and sold them. But later they knew it and talked to them about price increases. Disagree. "
"Why don't you sell it to others?" Su Chen asked.
"I thought about it. But they are all controlled by Clear River. They want to sell others, it is impossible to Ah!" sighed Charle.
From River West Jungle, the nearest city is Clear River. Those bloodline noble clans directly control the trading of Clear River City’s, from cargo ships, to wharf, to shops, all under their control.
If the resources of River West Jungle are to enter Clear River, they must be controlled by them from the time of boarding.
Without the permission of bloodline noble clan, their cargo cannot be loaded on the ship. Even if they are on board, they cannot drop off at wharf. Even if they do, no merchant dares to accept their cargo.
Same reason, you need to buy money for the money you sell, and these shops are also in the hands of bloodline noble clan. in other words even if you solve all the problems before, sell the goods and get the money, you still can't buy anything.
Through this commercial monopoly, River West villagers have been forced to sell their resources to them cheaply.
"Then don't have a look at other cities?"
"I have been there. But I did n’t have a boat, and the river here came to pirate. And pirate is also controlled by those bloodline noble clan, and some are even directly theirs. We once worked hard to build a boat and shipped some goods Going to the downstream cities to sell goods, but before they got there, they were slaughtered by pirate. The heads were sent by those bloodline noble clan. "
"Sure enough!" Su Chen was also slightly surprised.
The manifestation of bloodline noble clan should be used to control all sales channels and seek high profits through channel monopolies, but as resource owners and manufacturers, they can only be exploited.
But even so, the stubborn villagers did not easily follow suit. They grow their own land, pick wild fruits, hunt animal meat, and in this way reduce their dependence on the outside world.
You can control the channel, I can control the output!
In this way, fight against each other.
When commercial methods are used to the extreme, and no one can do it, it is often violent and **** methods.
bloodline noble clans is very angry at the villagers' non-cooperation.
They started sending people in and attacked the villagers directly.
Although the curse of River West Forest is quite scary, bloodline noble clan has been operating here for many years, and has some knowledge of the situation of River West Jungle, knowing some secrets about the curse.
To say that they can't do 100% curse evasion, but some proper precautions can still greatly reduce the probability of curse.
As long as you dare to die, you still enter no problem in the dense forest.
This makes River West Jungle's natural defenses more than half of them.
River West Jungle has had two armed struggles against the bloodline noble clan to plunder their hard-earned wealth, but without exception they have suffered miserable failures and paid a lot of blood.
Because it is in savage land, nothing else people will be in their prime.
The result is that the local villagers can only bow their heads and let the other party exploit them.
But this situation suddenly changed recently.
All the villagers have united again and waged a revolt against bloodline noble clan.
The reason for this is because they have acquired some technology that can control Vicious Beast.
