Chapter 36: The Avengers Assemble!
At this, Calitz jumped up in anger to flip the table. Everyone hurriedly went up and held him down, and they all said with relief: "Who is not like this? Everybody's like that!
But what can we do? The people are the government and the kings of this land. We begged for food on their territory, and we had to endure it! ”
But the red-haired thin man who had been joking with Kaliz before heard this, and he became excited. Everyone hurriedly pressed him again, who would have thought that he would cry when he pressed it.
"You don't understand! It took me eight years and three trips to the Great Food to find a superb Persian dancer, whom I had intended to place in Cochin to avoid my wife at home.
But this time they forcibly took her away! And what do you say that I am not worthy of such a beautiful woman, and they will take her away and sacrifice her to their king!
Do you know how much pain I have? That's the love that took me eight years to meet! ”
Speaking of emotion, the red-haired thin man choked up at one point.
And he is not alone in the same situation. In the eyes of the Jiaozhi people, businessmen are not important. These businessmen with strange looks are even less important.
If you are familiar with it, you may be able to give you some face on weekdays, but if something really happens, who will recognize who you are? You are a colt, and you have to speak with money.
Many of the merchants present were from the Western Regions, and the goods were disliked by the Song people, so they had no choice but to come to Jiaozhi.
was already aggrieved in their hearts, and in the past half a month, the unfair treatment they have suffered has made them feel even more painful.
In addition, they drank a lot of wine before, and everyone hugged each other and cried.
Calitz didn't stop it, and let everyone cry for a long time, and the momentum gradually stopped, and then he said tragically: "I can't stand this kind of unfair treatment anymore!"
Such a cruel tyrant, such an official government, if I could watch this tall building fall to the ground with my own eyes, what a happy thing it would be!
When the time comes, I must re-enter the Cochin Palace, which is full of treasures, and loot and take back what I have lost!" ”
"Yes!" The red-haired thin man said with a hideous face: "I want to ride Li Deqian's queen under my body, and I want him to watch me his queen!" ”
It was as if they had found a place to vent their emotions, and everyone cursed Li Deqian viciously with different accents.
Seeing the anger of the crowd, Kaliz knew that it was almost time to brew. He was about to speak, when a smart person who saw through his intentions took the lead and said: "It's a pity that we are weak, even if we add up all the people in our family, it is only more than a thousand people, which is not enough for the guards in the palace."
Alas, these words are said today, and tomorrow they will be forgotten! ”
Calitz looked at the man in surprise, and the man made a eighty-two gesture. Calitz understood and sang and harmonized with him
"Don't worry! My friend! Allah willing, I have found an ally! ”
"What?" The man hurriedly cooperated and made a shocked look and said, "So, we have a play?" ”
Who is a fool to be invited here by Kalitz? As soon as the two sang and harmonized, others immediately understood.
The red-haired thin man said impatiently: "Kalitz, don't sell it here." As long as I can make this damned king pay, even if it costs me money, I'm willing! ”
Some of the people agreed, and some remained silent. But there is no one who has no anger in his eyes.
Calitz laughed and said, "How come! My friend! We're businessmen, we don't make a profit!
We came all the way from faraway places, taking countless risks along the way, and each time we walked with death, didn't we just make money?
As long as you listen to my next words, you will know that this time, we can not only make money, but also vent our anger. If you're lucky, maybe you can go to Kaifeng in the future and do business with the Song people! ”
Doing business with the Song people? The businessmen present were breathing a little shorter.
Who doesn't want to do business with the Song people? Their silk and tea leaves, their breathtakingly beautiful calligraphy and paintings, handicrafts, and fine porcelain, are a great profit to bring back to their own countries and sell.
As long as they take a trip back with enough goods, they can live the life of a rich man with peace of mind in the next ten years, or even decades.
If it weren't for the fact that the Song people didn't look down on their goods, who would want to go to such a smoky land to trade with monkeys?
In Kalize's words, making money and getting angry have been ignored by them. Doing business with the Song people is the most desperate point of these conditions.
"The army of the Great Song Kingdom has been hidden outside the city." When Kaliz said this, he saw that everyone had a fist in their mouths.
He was very satisfied, and when he was caught by Song Jun, he also reacted in this way.
How did you get to Thang Long City? How did they get here? Why wasn't it discovered?
"But they are in a predicament, they have been hungry for days, and if they don't find them something to eat, they won't have the strength to capture Thang Long City, and our revenge plan will be in vain......"
"Wait a minute, Calitz!" The red-haired thin man didn't know whether he was too excited or too surprised, and his whole person trembled violently: "What the hell is going on?" Didn't the Song people be discovered? ”
Kaliz explained it this way, so and so and so. Basically, it is the original words of Steward Chu, to put it simply, 'We have marched all the way from a shortcut that is inaccessible'.
"Oh my God." The red-haired man hugged his head and sighed with emotion: "The Song people are amazing!" Goose girl! ”
"In short, if we want to take revenge, we need their help. So now, we are one with them. Not to mention that the general who led the army promised me that he would praise our merits to their emperor when he returned.
I think you know better than anyone how much wealth there is in Thang Long City.
If the army of the Great Song Kingdom captures this city, we can take advantage of the chaos to loot wealth and make a lot of gold and silver treasures, and we will not have to pay any price.
Isn't this a gold coin delivered to your door? Whoever doesn't want is a fool!
We ......"
After that, Kaliz talked a lot about it like a pyramid scheme, which made the eyes of these Western businessmen who put their interests first red. They couldn't wait for the Song army to capture Thang Long City in the next second, and then they immediately took advantage of the chaos to loot other people's gold, silver and jewelry.
The dry-mouthed Kaliz took a big sip of water and said, "...... So now it's time to take a stand, who is for and who is against? ”
"I'm for it!"
"I agree!"
"I'm joining!"
Everyone answered in unison at the first time, but no one jumped out to object.
Calitz was overjoyed, so he said his arrangement: "Then let's do this, this and this, so ......."
………………
"Have you heard? It seems that the price of food has risen recently! ”
"I've heard about it, it's all those high-nosed people from the Western Regions! They said that they couldn't stay in Thang Long City anymore and that they wanted to leave and go back to their hometown. The grain in the granary store in the city was almost emptied by them. ”
"These shameless people, just go, what are you doing with such a big deal. Now, a pound of food has risen by a full 200 yuan compared to the past, and we ordinary people can't afford to eat! It's a pest! ”
"Who's to say it isn't! If you come, you want to make our money, and if you leave, you will harm us. Even if the price of food rises like this, they still take it all.
Grandma's, I'm angry when I talk about it. These pests are quite united, and when they go, they go together. But if they leave one by one, they will not be like this. ”
The next day, Thang Long City was very lively, and the streets and alleys were talking about these merchants from the Western Regions. The people who don't know the truth come as soon as they open their mouths, what Westerners can tell fortunes, people look at the fortunes of the stars in the sky and see that there are meteorites, and they are about to fall in Thang Long City, and they ran away in advance.
What is our treasury already empty, the emperor wanted to use these fat sheep to make up the hole, but the news leaked, and they quickly cleaned up the mess such as soft and soft nonsense, and in an instant, it spread throughout Thang Long City.
But the merchants of the Western Regions were still unmoved, they carried carts of grain like ants, even if the grain store owner raised the price on the spot, they also smiled and took all the orders......
