Chapter 726 Thousand Machine Pavilion

Chapter 250 Five Thousand Machine Pavilion
The land of the Western Regions is adjacent to the Demon Kingdom, the south is bordered by the Daming Kingdom, and the north is close to the "Endless Wilderness".Its land area is second only to the Far East Kingdom and the Ten Thousand Beasts Kingdom, and it can be regarded as the third largest country in the Qixiong Kingdom.However, just like the first two countries, the countries in the Western Regions occupy a large area, but there are not many lands that are truly suitable for human habitation.

Similar to the Millennium Frozen Land of the Far Eastern Kingdom, the endless forest sea of ​​the Ten Thousand Beasts Kingdom, and the desert landform of the Western Regions are also one of its most notable features.Due to being adjacent to "Endless Wilderness", the wind and sand blowing from there every year will also erode many excellent oases.

Black Castle is an oasis located in the Western Regions. Its area is about several hundred acres. There should be no less than a thousand oases like this in the entire Western Regions. The relatively special thing is that it is adjacent to the border. .From Black Castle to the border of the Demon Kingdom, one can reach it by riding a horse in a day and night, so there are many Demon Sect warriors gathered here.

The origin of Black Fort's name is also a bit of a story. First of all, it is because the rock exposed outside is a kind of dark brown lava rock, which can neither forge weapons nor be mined in batches.Therefore, the people who first lived here dug many caves. Compared with those sand caves with unstable structures, the thermal insulation and heat insulation effects of caves are much better.

Later, this place gradually became an oasis, and people deliberately planted sand-proof vegetation to gradually expand the scope of the oasis, and it gradually became a place where merchants from the Western Regions gathered.

Black Castle relies on the oasis to build a city, and as the population gathers, the mining of black rock has become much easier.So people used local materials to build the city with black rocks, and the name "Black Castle" came from this.

……

Although Black Castle is a city, its area is much smaller than that of Loulan City. After all, it was built on the oasis, and it is definitely not as convenient as Loulan City built on the mountains.

However, although the sparrow is small and well-equipped, it is so close to the border of the Demon Kingdom, so that Black Castle has a convenience that other towns have never had, that is, black market transactions.

The "black market" here is different from the "black market" that Yi Xifeng participated in at the Zhenwu Dao Hall. The black market at the Zhen Wu Dao Hall is actually for fellow disciples to exchange some cultivation resources privately.At best, it's the kind of Yi Xifeng bullying Jintuan, coaxing and tricking him to "get it"!
Uh... just get things in your hands, don't think about it!
However, the "black market" here in Black Castle is really black!It cannot be said that there are cases where buyers and sellers fight over this every day, but it is not much different.

And the things sold are not limited to cultivation resources, such as slaves, women and children, monster inner alchemy, all kinds of forbidden books... everything!As long as you can spend some 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 ten thousand gold".

Of course, Blacksburg is not the most prosperous trading capital in the Western Regions, not even "one of them". The only thing that makes it famous in the Western Regions is the short distance from the Demon Kingdom.

…………Dividing line…………

Qianji Pavilion, one of the most famous trading houses in the Western Regions.

Compared with the Qijia Commercial Bank established by Qi Chengcheng, it took the business route, while Qianji Pavilion took the business route.

Merchant and merchants have been the most important trading methods of commercial firms since ancient times. The two do not conflict and complement each other.

The so-called peddling is to engage in trade, buy from low-priced places, ship to high-priced places to sell, and earn the difference in the re-matching of resources.

Being a merchant refers to engaging in local marketing, gathering resources from all over the world, and selecting products for local buyers to stimulate consumption.

Therefore, most of the merchants have multiple trade routes, and the more trade routes, the greater the power.On the other hand, Zuo Shang has chain stores all over the place, and the more stores there are, the more powerful it is.

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 storefront of "Qianji Pavilion".And in the Seven Heroes of the mainland, they are also distributed in several important capitals.

The Qianji Pavilion in Black Castle is one of the busiest places here. It is a huge five-storey attic. The whole body is made of black rock, which looks depressing!

However, the lights inside are brightly lit. You can see many people wearing robes from the Western Regions walking around here, and people are wearing face scarves. On the one hand, this is the custom of the Western Regions, and on the other hand, it is common sense to buy things in Black Castle.

After all, it is the place where the demon sect warriors gather, so it is inevitable that some people will be jealous.

"Brother, since you are interested in my weapon, what price do you want?"

"I'm sorry, I don't accept gold and silver here, I can only exchange it with what I like!"

……

"These two big families of slave origin, a pair of mother and daughter! They are both good looking, and the young ones can be sold for a high price when they grow up."

"Don't be funny, this little one is obviously stimulated, and he will probably be a fool in the future!"

……

Hearing this, a young man wearing the clothes of the shopkeeper of Qianji Pavilion glanced back at the mother and daughter who were sitting in the cage blankly. A trace of deep hatred.

For this kind of look, young people are not surprised, this is the standard "slave" look.Most people who have just become slaves will have this look, which is a normal phenomenon.On the contrary, it was the little girl in her arms, her eyes were dull, but her eyes were wide open, which was obviously abnormal.

Seeing this scene, the young man spat hard and muttered: "Stinky girl, you have messed up a good deal, I hope I don't beat you to death tonight!"

Following his cursing, the mother and daughter visibly trembled, but no one cared about their reaction at all.The young shopkeeper of Qianji Pavilion met another man who came forward to inquire about the price. After several rounds of bargaining, the man must have taken a fancy to the woman's beauty, and finally settled the deal at ten taels of gold.

This kind of business happened from time to time on the first floor of Qianji Pavilion, not to say that Qianji Pavilion was a place where filth was hidden, because it was Black Castle's choice.

Qianji Pavilion will match various commodities according to the needs of the local people.In their eyes, there are no etiquette and restrictions, only supply and demand!In Qianji Pavilion in Black Castle, there are slaves who can be bought and sold. In Yunxiao City in Luoyun Kingdom, pens, inks, papers and inkstones may be more popular.

After the young shopkeeper sold a few "good products", the cage behind him was already empty. He first shook hands with the people around him, then turned and walked into the side hall.

In one day, there are only so many "goods" that can be brought out. The mother and daughter just now came from an out-and-out big family, and it will take some effort to find such a pair again.The young man sat on the recliner in the side hall, picked up a cup of tea he had prepared, and drank it on his own.
