Chapter 579: Sworn Enemy
Chapter 579: Mortal Enemy.
Hanon died, and the entire Phnom Penh dynasty fell completely into the hands of Benhaya abroad, and now he holds the military power and the economic lifeblood of the entire country.
Benhaya was very grateful to Ye Xing and the others, so he decided to raise the price of tea, silk and other things brought by Ye Xing and the others, and now that he is a real king, he naturally doesn't care about this little money.
Ye Xing and the others were very happy with Benhaya's decision, who would have trouble with money, so Ye Xing and the others readily agreed.
Winter has only one tail left, and in some areas overseas, the ice is beginning to melt slowly, and maybe within a month, Ye Xing and the others will board their treasure ship again and continue their trip to the West.
Spring is finally coming.
It's just that Cambodia is still business as usual, and nothing has changed.
After staying in this place for a long time, Ye Xing suddenly felt a little bored, a place that had not changed much always made him feel too monotonous, if he continued to live, he would really get sick.
He suddenly missed the snow in his hometown.
If there is no snow in winter, is it still winter?
After breakfast that day, Zheng He said to Ye Xing and the others: "The rich merchants of the Phnom Penh Dynasty want to discuss business with us, if you think it's boring to stay on the boat, why don't you go with me!" ”
A few of them were really bored, and now that Zheng He invited them to trade in the Trade Square, they were naturally happy, and maybe there would be unexpected discoveries, such as beautiful jewelry.
After a few of them made preparations, they escorted their goods to the Trade Square, which was actually a large trading place, and there were many merchants trading there.
But as far as Ye Xing and the others knew, in such a large trading place, there were two of them that were the most powerful, and the two of them almost occupied seventy percent of the trade of the Phnom Penh Dynasty.
The two of them can be said to be rich and rival the country.
It's just that the people of these two families seem to have been at odds, and no one knows the reason, so they often quarrel over a little thing, and sometimes deliberately compete maliciously, raising the price lower and lower, and finally losing money.
King Benhaya also told Ye Xing and the others that these two families had made their country's tax revenue lose a lot by doing so.
But trade is free, and Benhaya has no way to do this as a king, things belong to other people, and he has no way to set the price.
The Trade Square is very lively, full of peddlers, and there are several shops selling things Ye Xing they have never even seen, this is simply a shopper's paradise.
The sundries here are very complete, and there are many trinkets that women like.
After the few of them entered here, Di Xiaoxin and Hua Zhimeng, two women, couldn't help but want to wander around.
It turns out that it is a woman's nature to like shopping and sell things, regardless of dynasty.
Ye Xing and the others came here to trade, and they were received by Ah San, the same person who had helped Ye Xing find Ai Fei'er and Zheng He, and he was ordered by King Benhaya to meet all the needs of Ye Xing and others.
Ah Sang seemed to be very familiar with this trade square, and he said to Ye Xing and them: "This square is a big square, all the shops in the east are the industry of sprinkling, and those shops in the west are the industries of khaki, and the two of them are the largest traders in this area, but the relationship between the two of them is not very good." ”
Now listening to Ah San's words, Ye Xing and the others know that the two big traders were originally called Sama and Kaki.
"Why don't they get along, you know?" Ye Xing asked with some curiosity.
Ahsan shook his head: "This matter is not clear, they were like this about ten years ago, what is the specific reason, only very old people know, I was still a child at that time, and I didn't live here at that time." ”
Ye Xing was a little disappointed, he was curious about many things, so he wanted to know the real reason for the conflict between the Sama and Kaqi families, but no one told him, and he was embarrassed to ask directly.
Zheng He handed over the goods they brought to his business experts to sell, while he and Ye Xing and a few of them casually walked around here, and Ah Sang introduced them all the way.
The square is very large, a kilometer long, so different trades are in different areas, some sell clothes, and buy groceries, so they are also very leisurely when they walk around.
I saw something funny, and it had to be sold.
Ah Sang was even more attentive, taking Di Xiaoxin and Hua Zhimeng to see all the places that sell jewelry in the entire square, and when they came back, Di Xiaoxin and Hua Zhimeng's hands and bodies were already full of jewelry, and after the two women put on the jewelry, the whole person was almost completely new.
They were already beautiful, but now they are even more beautiful, and they feel like noblewomen.
Ye Xing also joked to the two of them: "You wear so many precious jewelry on your body, be careful of being robbed as a rich person!" ”
Hua Zhimeng was dismissive of Ye Xing's words: "Robbery, I see who has the ability to rob us." ”
Everyone laughed, and before they knew it, it was noon, and everyone had been playing all morning, and their stomachs were growling with hunger.
But this matter is not difficult for Ah San, Ah Sang said to everyone: "Not far ahead, in the innermost part of this square, there is a big canteen, we can go there to eat, all the traders here go there to eat, and the food there is delicious. ”
When the crowd heard Ahsan praise the food there, and the place could bear it, they rushed to the canteen that Ahsan had said.
But when everyone ran to the cafeteria, they were shocked by the situation inside.
The anger inside was clearly wrong.
Although many diners had already paid their meals, they did not start eating, and everyone's eyes were on the two people.
It was two middle-aged men in their forties, each of them had a table, but they looked at each other, and their tables were already full of food, but there were still people who kept serving food to their tables.
This situation is not scary at all, but it makes people feel very strange, how can two people order so many dishes, do they want to compete to see who eats more dishes?
Ye Xing took a closer look at the table of these two people, and the dishes on the table of the two of them were basically the same, as if they were specifically going to fight against each other.
The food was still there, and a table could no longer be filled, but they had to get the cooks to bring it to them, and they threw down a large bag of silver, indicating that they had money.
