Chapter 296: We can start now (1)
Translator: 549690339
The night went by without a word. The next morning, Zhao Hai and the others woke up and started to move around the campsite. However, they did not do it very obviously. They only made so simple transactions with the orcs and saw what good things the orcs had. They could exchange for them at a discounted price.
Zhao Hai had a month’s ti to gather information, so he was not in a hurry. What they needed to do now was to lower the wariness of the orcs. How could they do that? To the orcs, it was not about chatting with them, helping them with their work, or selling them food at a discounted price.
This was exactly what Zhao Hai and the others did. However, they did it very discreetly. The transactions they made would never let others feel that they were deliberately currying favor. They did not exceed the duties of a businessman at all.
The bullfighting clansn who were watching Zhao Hai and his group realized that they were acting too normal. There was nothing to watch anymore. In order to make sure that they were not in the wrong, the bullfighting clansn who were watching Zhao Hai and his group went to find them after they finished their transactions. They wanted to know what Zhao Hai had said to them. However, to their disappointnt, Zhao Hai only made a simple transaction with them and didn’t say anything more.
Four days later, those people had lost their patience to keep an eye on Zhao Hai. Even the Foreign Affairs elder had agreed to betta’s request to relax their surveillance on Zhao Hai and the others. When Zhao Hai and the others returned to the camp, they could see through the screen that there were no longer so many people around their camp. This made Zhao Hai feel a lot more at ease.
However, he wasn’t in a hurry to get information. He still moved around the camp every day, but the scope of his activities was wider, and he slowly went deeper into the center of the camp.
On the fifth day after they arrived at King Sichi’s camp, Weyers “blood eagle ca to Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai wrote down the situation in detail and handed it to blood eagle to bring to Weyers.
He told Weyers not to count on King XI Qi, as he was afraid that King XI Qi was going to join the bullfighting race. The reason why he was still here was to find out more about the bullfighting race, as well as the second and third princesses. If they were in trouble, he had to find a way to save them and then et up with him.
After sending out the letter, Zhao Hai was finally at ease. At the sa ti, he took a look at the progress of the convoy. They would be able to enter the camp officially tomorrow. This ti, they had brought over a total of nearly three million catties of food. This was not a small amount.
Seeing this, Zhao Hai imdiately went to look for betta. These days, Zhao Hai had been in contact with betta the most. Although he knew that betta had been sent by the elder to monitor him, he still took the initiative to contact him. This would lower betta’s guard. If he kept hiding from betta, it would be impossible for betta to relax his surveillance over the past few days.
Betta was mainly responsible for the safety of his camp, so he didn’t have to graze like the other bullfighting tribe mbers. All he had to do every day was patrol, so Zhao Hai found him easily.
These few days, under Zhao Hai’s special room, betta’s relationship with him was pretty good. So when he saw Zhao Hai, he imdiately smiled and said, ” “Brother Zhao Hai, what are you busy with?”
&Quot; brother beta, ” Zhao Hai quickly said, ” I was looking for you. I have sothing that I need your help with. &Quot;
Betta was taken aback. &Quot; brother Zhao Hai, why are you being so polite with ? tell , what’s the matter? as long as I can help, I’ll definitely help. &Quot;
Zhao Hai nodded. &Quot; brother beta, our convoy will arrive at the camp tomorrow. This ti, they brought a lot of food. I have to find a place to put it. You have to arrange a good place for . &Quot;
Betta was stunned for a mont, then said emotionally, ” “You’re back so quickly. Brother Zhao Hai, your n are very fast. How many catties of food did you bring this ti?”
“Around 1.5 million kilograms,” Zhao Hai replied with a smile.
Betta was stunned, then he looked at Zhao Hai in shock. &Quot; “Brother Zhao Hai, you an three million Jin? It’s not 300000 Jin?”
&Nbsp; Zhao Hai laughed out loud, ” brother beta, why would I joke about this? it’s 1.5 million kilograms, that’s right. That’s why we need a huge space. &Quot;
Betta saw how certain Zhao Hai was and quickly said, ” “Brother Zhao Hai, go back to the camp and wait. I’ll imdiately report to the elders and give you an answer.”
Zhao Hai smiled, bowed to betta, and left. Betta looked at Zhao Hai’s back and imdiately turned around, heading straight for the Foreign Affairs elder’s tent.
When they arrived outside the Foreign Affairs elder’s tent, betta did not bother to report and barged into the tent directly. Fortunately, there was no one in the tent, only the Foreign Affairs elder was there dealing with sothing like an account book. When he saw betta enter, the Foreign Affairs elder said in dissatisfaction, ” “Can’t you be a little more steady? You’re already an adult, yet you’re still so flustered.”
Betta didn’t even bother to bow. &Quot; elder, Zhao Hai ca to just now. He asked to help him prepare a place. His first batch of food will arrive tomorrow. There’s a total of 1.5 million kilograms. &Quot;
The Foreign Affairs elder was stunned for a mont, then his eyes lit up.”So fast? Is it really three million Jin?”
&Quot; yes, ” betta nodded. &Quot; Zhao Hai said so. He was very sure. &Quot;
The Foreign Affairs elder gently closed his eyes and muttered, ” “Three million Jin of grain at half price, this really saves us a lot of trouble. Go arrange a place for him, a good place. When the grain arrives tomorrow, you guys will help unload it and see how good the quality is.”
Betta responded and turned to leave. It was not until betta left that the Foreign Affairs elder opened his eyes and muttered, ” “It’s here so quickly? Could it be that he has a transfer station here?”
It wasn’t strange for human rchants to build a transfer station here. So big human rchants would build a transfer station here. Usually, this transfer station would cooperate with so dium-sized or large-sized orc tribes. They would put their goods there and pay the orc tribe a Commission. This way, they could quickly and conveniently transport their goods to the place they wanted to transport.
The Foreign Affairs elder didn’t mind. He was only thinking about Zhao Hai’s food. To be honest, Zhao Hai’s food was really cheap. Even the rchants who often worked with them couldn’t give Zhao Hai this price. The rchants ‘food prices were almost the sa, 500 kilograms for one lamb. Zhao Hai’s food was half the price of the rchants’.
What did it an for King Sichi’s camp to have half the price of food? It ant that there would be more food. To them, this was the best news.
When Zhao Hai first ca to find him, he didn’t trust Zhao Hai, so he told Zhao Hai to wait for the food to arrive. They were going to start coiling the sheep for him. He didn’t expect Zhao Hai’s food to arrive so quickly.
The next morning, a huge convoy slowly walked towards King Sichi’s camp. As it got closer and closer, betta and the others stood beside the camp and looked at the convoy. The convoy was made up of more than a thousand carriages. The one in front was a hundred large carriages commonly used on the grasslands, while the one behind was a small carriage commonly used by the human race.
Zhao Hai stood outside Lao di. This ti, the convoy was filled with undead creatures, so he didn’t have to worry at all. However, betta and the others were all standing there waiting for the food trucks. Looking at the long line of vehicles, Zhao Hai was very excited. This fleet was his. Everything was his. How could he not be excited?
When the convoy arrived, Zhao Hai and betta imdiately led the convoy to an open space. Betta and the others had specially arranged for Zhao Hai and the others to store food there. It was almost winter, so it was impossible for it to rain on the plains. So even if the food was left out in the open, they didn’t have to worry about getting wet.
Betta, on the other hand, had been paying attention to the sacks on the truck. They looked ordinary, nothing special. However, betta had been carefully observing them. He wanted to know the quality of Zhao Hai’s grain.
Soon, they arrived at the empty plot of land. Zhao Hai wanted to direct the undead creatures to unload the food, but he didn’t expect betta and the others to rush over to help. Zhao Hai couldn’t refuse, so he had to agree.
When betta picked up a bag of food, he was stunned for a mont because this bag of food was very heavy. It was not that he could not carry it, but it was much heavier than the food transported by other grain rchants.
This stunned betta for a mont, then his face darkened. He had encountered such a situation before. The grain rchants would put sand in the grain, making it heavier. This was the trick that betta hated the most.
He silently picked up a few more bags of food, and the bags were all so heavy, which made betta’s face even uglier. He picked up the food and pretended to be careless. A bag fell from his shoulder. The food was in a cloth bag, and after such a long ti of transportation, the cloth was not very strong. When it fell from a big man like betta, the bag imdiately cracked.
Betta looked at the food in the bag. He wanted to mock Zhao Hai, but when he saw the food, he was stunned. The food in the bag was of the best quality. Each grain seed to be glistening with oil. If this kind of food could not be called the best, then the food they had eaten in the past could only be considered unripe subrice. Most importantly, there was not a single grain of sand in the food. It was very clean.
Betta looked at the bag of food in a daze. The other bullfighting clansn also gathered around and looked at the cracked bag on the ground. Their expressions were as wonderful as betta’s.
These bullfighting tribe people had done this kind of thing many tis. As long as they discovered that there was a problem with the food, they would do it. This way, they could lower the price. When they saw betta’s actions, everyone was ready to make a fuss. However, when they saw the food on the ground, everyone lost their voice.
Zhao Hai looked at them and smiled. He knew that he could carry out his plan from now on.
