Chapter 255 Qianji Pavilion
(Not revised yet, please check it out tomorrow!)
The Western Regions are adjacent to the Demon Kingdom, the Ming Kingdom in the south, and the "Endless Barbarians" to the north. The area is second only to the extreme east and the Ten Thousand Beast Kingdoms, and it is considered the third largest seven-thousand kingdoms in territory. However, like the top two, the Western Regions have a large area of land, but not much land is truly suitable for human habitation.
Similar to the millennium permafrost in the extreme eastern country, the endless forests of the Ten Thousand Beasts Kingdom, and the desert landforms of the Western Regions are also one of its most prominent features. Because they are adjacent to the "endless wilderness", the wind and sand that blows from there every year will also erode many oasis areas.
Black Fort is an oasis located in the Western Regions. Its range is about a few hundred acres. There should be no less than a thousand oasis like this in the Western Regions. Relatively speaking, the special thing is that it is adjacent to the border. From Black Fort to the border of the Demon Kingdom, you can reach it by riding a horse day and night, so there are many demon sect warriors gathered here.
The origin of the Black Fort is also a bit of a topic. First of all, the exposed rock is a kind of black-brown molten rock, which cannot forge weapons and is difficult to mine in batches. So the people who lived here first dug many caves. Compared with those sand caves with unstable structures, the caves have much better insulation and thermal insulation effects.
Later, this place gradually became an oasis. People deliberately planted sand-proof vegetation and gradually expanded the scope of the oasis, which gradually became a place where merchants from the Western Regions gathered.
Black Fort built a city based on an oasis. With the gathering of population, the mining of black rocks became much easier. So people used local materials to build this city with black rocks, and the name "Black Fort" came from this.
...
Although Black Fort is a city, its area is far less than that of Loulan City. After all, it was built on an oasis, and it is definitely not as convenient as Loulan’s construction based on mountains.
However, although the sparrow is small and has all the internal organs, it is so close to the border of the Demon Kingdom that Black Fort has an aspect that other towns have never had, that is, black market trading.
The "black market" here is different from the "black market" that Yi Xifeng participated in in Zhenwu Dao Hall. The black market in Zhenwu Dao Hall is actually a disciple of his fellow disciples who privately exchange for some cultivation resources, at least the real price. And it is impossible to have something to do with black people. At best, it is the kind of Yi Xifeng bullying Jintuan and coaxing and deceiving to "get it"!
Well...it's just getting the things done, don't think wrong!
However, the "black market" here in Black Fort is really dark! The situation where buyers and sellers fight for this cannot be said to be there every day, but it is not much different.
Moreover, the things sold are not limited to cultivation resources, such as slaves, women and children, monsters, inner alchemy, and various forbidden books... everything is available! As long as you can take out money, you can really find what you want in the Western Regions. This is also the reason why the countries in the Western Regions are called "the land of thousands of gold".
Of course, Black Fort is not the capital with the most prosperous trade in the Western Regions, and it is not even considered "one". The only thing that makes it famous in the Western Regions is its very close distance from the Demon Kingdom.
………… Dividing line………………
Qianji Pavilion is one of the most famous businesses in the Western Regions.
Compared with Qijia Trading Company established by Qi Chengcheng, it is taking the business route, while Qianji Pavilion is taking the business route.
Traveling and sitting business have been the most important trading method of business since ancient times. The two do not conflict and complement each other.
The so-called businessman is to engage in trade, buy from the lowest price, ship to the high price, and earn the difference in the resource rematch.
Sit-selling business refers to conducting marketing locally, gathering resources from all over the world, and selecting products for local buyers to stimulate consumption.
Therefore, most businessmen have multiple trade routes, and the more trade routes, the greater the power. While businessmen have chain stores everywhere, the more stores, the greater the power.
Qianji Pavilion is one of the most famous merchants in the Western Regions. Almost all the larger city-states in the Western Regions can see the store of "Qianji Pavilion". Among the seven heroes of the mainland, their distribution is also found in several more important capitals.
The Qianji Pavilion in Black Fort is one of the most lively places here. It has a huge attic of five-story high, and is made of black rock, which looks like a depressing style!
However, the lights are brightly lit inside, and you can see many people wearing Western robes shuttled here, and people are wearing facial scarves. On the one hand, this is a custom of the Western Regions, and on the other hand, it is also common sense to buy things in black castles.
After all, it is a place where warriors of the Demon Sect gather, and people will inevitably be jealous.
"Brother, since you have fallen in love with my weapon, what price do you want?"
"Sorry, I don't charge gold and silver here, I can only exchange for something I like!"
...
"These two slaves are from big families, a mother and daughter! They are both of them well-deserved. They can also sell for a high price when they are raised."
"Stop teasing, this little guy is obviously stimulated, he may be a fool in the future, okay!"
...
When a young man wearing Qianji Pavilion shopkeeper heard this, he glanced back at the mother and daughter sitting in the cage. The mother was in disheveled clothes. It seemed that she had experienced some unbearable things to look back on. In addition to indifference, there was also a deep hatred in her eyes.
Young people are not surprised by this kind of look. At this time, the standard "slave" look. Most people who have just become slaves have this expression, which is normal. On the contrary, the little girl in her arms has a blind eye, but her eyes are wide open, which is obviously a bit abnormal.
Seeing this scene, the young man spat hard and muttered: "Stupid girl, a good deal will ruin you. I'll see if you won't beat you to death at night!"
As he cursed, the mother and daughter trembled obviously, but no one was present to their reaction. The young shopkeeper of Qianji Pavilion met another man who came forward to inquire. After several bargaining, the man should have fallen in love with the woman and finally made a deal for ten taels of gold.
Such transactions occur frequently on the first floor of Qianji Pavilion. It is not that Qianji Pavilion is a place where dirt is hidden, but the choice of black castle.
Qianji Pavilion will match various commodities according to the needs of local people. In their eyes, there is no etiquette or constraint, as long as supply and demand! In Qianji Pavilion in Black Fort, there are slaves to buy and sell. When it comes to Yunxiao City in Luoyun Kingdom, pens, ink, paper and inkstones may be more popular.
