Rise In Calradia

Chapter 72: : Spice Trade

   It’s not easy to train riding skills. For half a month in a row, besides eating and sleeping, Byron spent almost all the rest of his time right away.

   After training every day, Byron has to wait for a while before he can move. He felt that his legs didn't belong to him at that time, and he couldn't close together.

   After half a month, the fat on Byron's legs was almost gone, and he could sit firmly immediately. Even if it is to charge, holding a weapon such as a lance in his hand, Byron can step on the stirrup and launch an attack on the back of his horse. When the lance and spear hit the target, he was able to stabilize his body from falling.

   This is a painful lesson learned after falling off the horse three times. Once, Byron felt that his rib was about to break, but he insisted on remounting the horse and continued training.

   Under the strict requirements and training of Fatis, Byron and other Swadia light infantry have made considerable progress in equestrianism.

   [Your riding skills have improved, riding level 2;]

   After the riding level was improved, Byron's life did not relax at all. In addition to riding training, Byron had to sell the equipment seized at the front end. The price of weapons and equipment fell due to the sale of loot due to the Earl’s victory. Byron waited for half a month. Only waited until this time the price rebounded again.

   In addition, Byron will read those books every afternoon after returning to the mansion, reading books on the army and weapons, the huge books on the genealogy of kings and nobles, and the general history and poetry of Calradia.

  【Combat is an art, maybe you haven't mastered it yet, but you can always learn something from the experience of military strategists. Tactical level +1;]

   "It's just a little fur."

   Listening to the system's prompt, although Byron sighed with emotion, he was actually quite happy in his heart. He guessed right, just like in a game, reading books can indeed improve some of his skill levels.

   However, it is not as long as you have read it, such as those poems and aristocratic genealogy, those things make him look a little irritable, he really can't get into it, so there is no improvement in skills.

   The weather is getting warmer and warmer, and summer has arrived.

  The crops in the fields are growing vigorously, the trees in the forest are luxuriant, and the insects and beasts are also active.

  Dehrim has more business travels than before, and the warming weather has made many business roads that were inconvenient to pass before have become smoother. The most profitable trades on the mainland have also become popular. Silk from the north, velvet from the south, and oriental spices. For a time, the market in Dehrim was flooded with exotic goods, as well as those wearing all kinds of clothes selling goods. Foreign businessmen.

   "The cost of 3000 dinars is not enough to spend all the money from the armory. Hiring these mercenaries is not a bit too much?"

   Looking at the hired riders on the farm, Fatis asked with some doubts.

   "There is no way, the mercenaries everywhere are increasing prices, and 15 cavalry with full equipment, let them join us, no matter how much we have to pay a sufficient price."

   Byron shrugged. Indeed, he sold the seized equipment for less than 2,000 dinars, and it cost 3,000 to hire these 15 hired riders. Counting the army salary paid at the end of the month, Byron’s cash has been reduced to 12,000.

But this money is necessary, because Byron has been paying attention to the market of Dehrim when he was studying and training, and he also used his silver to create a group of intelligence forces that are not high in quality but have a strong penetration. Many of these people are gangsters and beggars, as well as some wealthy nobles and servants of the rich. Byron has learned a lot of information by relying on them.

The spice trade has the highest income in a single trade on the mainland. According to the market news that Byron has inquired, it is from Dehrim to Zhiwading in the north, and from Dehrim to Veluga in the south. The price has always maintained a high level, and there are no merchants hoarding enough spices to affect the market.

   The situation is obvious. Just like in previous years, the roads to the east this year are not very clean, and the amount of spices shipped is still not enough to satisfy the market.

   Spices are to be transported from the steppe country Kujit Khanate, and the folk customs of the Kujit people are stronger than those of the Nord Kingdom. You can use your hands as much as possible without your brain, and you will never talk too much about things that can be solved by force.

  This is especially true during war. When you encounter a village, you burn it, and you rob the city when you see it. As long as the horses can reach, there is a mess. The civilians and militiamen flee when they see their flags, and they dare not confront these grassland wolves.

And the most frightening thing is that the soldiers of the Khergit Khanate are loyal, and the Khan and Nayan are actually like prairie wolves. Not only are they insane and brave in combat, but they also have insidious and efficient tactics. Once they start thinking, they will be One carnage after another.

   Therefore, all trade roads that need to pass through the Khergit Khanate are all high-risk roads.

   As long as there are herders who feel that they are short of money, they will bring a group of relatives and friends on horses, pick up bows and sabers, and attack the past foreign caravans.

  Kujit lords are actually in order to receive sufficient tax burden, so they will try to limit these crimes.

   However, despite this, the chance of being robbed of the spice dealers is still more than 50%. UU reading www.uukanshu. com

  Byron also wants to participate in this spice trade to make double the profits.

But if he wants to ensure that he can reach the trading city of Turga smoothly and come back alive, he needs a cavalry force strong enough to ensure that he is not as sensitive as those vultures, and fights better than evil wolves. The fierce, flexible and rabbit-like prairie predators cut off their heads after robbing them all.

   In addition to these 15 hired riders, there are 12 caravan guards also hired by him. Byron put together more than 40 cavalry, this should be able to guarantee the minimum safety.

As for the light infantry, Byron also intends to let them ride pack horses or travel horses to follow the troops. They have learned riding for a month. If they can't ride these slow horses, Byron will not consider promoting them in the future. Too bad.

   As for the other infantry, Byron didn't plan to take it. In front of the hordes of prairie cavalry, these infantry were actually vulnerable.

   Although Fatis is still worried about the potential safety hazards in it, Eleon has already begun to prepare the clothing needed to enter the grassland.

Eleon still recognizes the strength of the prairie crocodile, because when he is home, he can always hear the news that the caravan of pure milk from afar has been robbed or slaughtered by the crocodile, but after he became an adult, he wanted very much. Challenge these Kujit robbers, just like his usual style.

  Byron began to purchase iron tools, which can be sold at a good price in the prairie cities.

  The soldiers also idled for a while. They saved a lot of money, but they still wanted more. So when Byron told them they were about to leave, they accepted it and took the initiative to repair their armor and weapons.

  Byron is very satisfied, and he also hopes that this journey will be a little smoother.
