Chapter 237 Is There Such A Good Thing? The Law Of True Fragrance
Andong City City Lord's Mansion.
Anthony has been a little irritable lately.
What happened in the upper reaches of the village brought him a lot of pressure.
It's not that he didn't want to send troops to attack, but that he didn't dare.
According to the news from the man in black, the other party turned out to be a god.
Although ordinary people don't know what gods are, they still have some understanding.
According to the family history records, the so-called god should be the main god.
Although he has the same ability, he is completely different compared to the other party.
First of all, the fact that the opponent can fly is far beyond his reach.
This represents a gap in strength.
Even if he sent all the troops to wipe it out.
As long as the opponent soars into the sky at any time, even if I live my whole life, I will not be able to catch up with the opponent.
But he will be threatened by the other party at any time.
Maybe when he will come to his mansion and assassinate him.
That's why he hasn't moved yet.
But the only good thing is that the main god who occupied the upstream village did not attack him.
But with a fishbone stuck in his throat, it was always difficult for him to swallow. This feeling was simply terrible.
Recently, even the right to enjoy the first night has not been carried out.
At this moment, he is standing at the viewing platform, with his hands on the fence, admiring his own city.
The breeze blowing on his face relieved his mood a lot.
At this moment, in the main hall behind, a black-robed man came out.
"My lord!"
Anthony knew who it was as soon as he heard the voice, and asked without looking back.
"Is there a problem?"
"Recently, a large number of unknown commodities have come to the city. According to inquiries, they are all transported from the upstream village. Do we want to stop the sale of these commodities?"
It made him frown instantly.
"Are those commodities dangerous to us?"
"No in 387. Those strange products are very useful and are loved by the nobles. Even among the common people, many people have purchased them."
Hearing that there was no harm, his brows eased a lot.
"Supervise more, if there is no harm, then forget it."
"Yes! There is one more thing. There is news from the front that someone has sent a large amount of food to the front to sell.
This made Anthony startled for a while, and turned to look at the man in black.
"Someone transported a large amount of food to the front line to sell food? Did I hear correctly?"
This simply made him unbelievable.
You must know that the grain in his territory has been looted by him.
Not to mention selling grain, famine has already begun in many places.
If there is really grain to sell, why not sell it directly, instead go to the front line.
"In the three messages sent back from the front line, all of them mentioned this matter, so it should not be false."
asked in a puzzled tone.
"What's the price? Is there a problem with the food? Is there an explanation in the message sent back?"
"Yes, the price is a little higher than the normal market price, and the other party said that this is due to transportation costs. There is no problem with the quality of the grain, and in terms of the fullness of the grain, it may be better than what we received."
This made Anthony confused.
"Did you say where the food came from?"
"There is no specific explanation, but a non-commissioned officer on the front line is a relative of the grain merchant. According to the investigation of the non-commissioned officer's information, the place where they live is not far from the upstream village, so the subordinates suspect that the grain came from the upstream village."
Anthony nodded, and this made him feel more reasonable.
Just out of curiosity, the main god came to him, but only occupied a remote corner, and there was no further movement.
You can even sell a large amount of grain.
I thought to myself: Could it be that the other party's Divine Kingdom is a space dedicated to planting? No, no, he still has so many strange commodities, which obviously cannot be produced locally in the upstream village.
Thinking of this, I felt a little unable to sit still.
"Try to send someone to investigate the matter in the upper reaches of the village. For the time being, everyone will keep peace and don't provoke each other. In addition, we will tentatively go to collect some food.
"yes!"
Once the other party has enough food, it is tantamount to doing him a big favor.
Then he said to the two servants next to him.
"Prepare me a low-key sedan chair, I'm going out to see those products."
"yes!"
As for why they didn't buy those things back, the main reason is to check the popularity of those products to the public.
Tans Avenue.
The busiest street in Andong City.
The width of the road is about two lanes in both directions.
Some people may think how small a two-way two-lane road is. How can a big city have such a narrow main road?
In fact, this is the case.
The roads of the city are related to the size of the city.
The wider the road, the larger the area built by the city wall.
However, this is a huge project for the locals, so in order to save the scope of the city wall, the roads are generally not too wide.
The whole city is also very crowded.
A large number of houses are crowded in this small city, giving people a false sense of prosperity.
The most powerful person in the main structure of the city is naturally Anthony himself.
Next are some nobles in the city, who control various power institutions in the city.
It is simply a luxury for common people to want to be in power.
Anthony also understands this, but the tradition of thousands of years is difficult to change.
Once he does something that makes the nobles betray their relatives, he will be attacked by the group.
After so many years of precipitation, their power has penetrated into various institutions.
Not even Anthony could remove these troubles.
It can only be maintained at this stage, which is also a method of balance.
Antony gave those nobles power and money.
And those nobles can give others talent and loyalty.
Of course, this loyalty is conditional.
Generally speaking, this system has continued to the present, and there have been no major problems.
Tans Boulevard was also crowded with people.
There is a constant flow of people of all kinds.
From time to time, a sedan chair or a carriage passed by.
There are always some strong (acae) warriors around the sedan chair and carriage, responsible for driving the road ahead.
If there are civilians standing in front of them, they will immediately taste the whip.
In this case, even if the civilians were killed, the nobles would not bear any responsibility.
To put it simply, civilian life is like a wild dog, and the Kui people don't regard them as real people at all.
Anthony's sedan chair also continued to pass through the crowd.
A servant ran to the curtain of the sedan chair and asked.
"Sir, which store shall we go to first?"
Anthony's faint voice came from inside the sedan chair.
"Which shop is frequented by nobles?"
"Aristocratic gentlemen seldom come out, but noble ladies often visit clothing stores and spice shops.
Anthony thought about it.
"Then go to the entrance of the spice shop, you don't have to go in, just stop at the entrance!"
"yes!"
The main clothing stores are usually visited by women, and it would be very embarrassing for him to be discovered.
Spice shops would be much better, although most of them are mainly women, but there are also some male nobles who help their wives or concubines buy spices.
Tulip Shop is the largest spice shop in Anton City.
Their main feature is the sachet made of various tulips, which is very popular among nobles.
However, when Anthony's sedan chair came to the door of the tulip shop.
Through the curtains of the sedan chair, I found that the place was overcrowded.
A long queue has even started to form.
He waved to his servants.
"What is the master's order?"
"Go and ask why there is such a long queue over there?"
"yes!"
The servant just went to inquire for a while, then got the news and came back to report.
"My lord, they are all here to buy perfume!"
"What is perfume?"
"I heard that perfume is a kind of liquid, as long as you put two drops on your body, your body will keep the fragrance for a day.
"Oh? You go to line up and buy some for me."
"yes!"
Because there is no sewage treatment system in Andong City, people have long dumped their feces on the side of the road.
Over time, the whole city is full of stench.
Even if the clothes are cleaned repeatedly, there is always a faint strange smell.
This made those nobles intolerable.
They need to use all kinds of sachets to cover up the unpleasant smell of their clothes.
In order to win the favor of their husbands, those aristocratic ladies would buy some sachets and put them on their bodies, so that they always smell delicious.
But every lady has to hang several sachets every day, which is a burden for them.
The smell of sachet is also a bit pungent.
No one wants to say that the scent on their body is brought by the sachet.
They all hope that others will praise her body fragrance.
This is a common problem of women.
Now suddenly there is a perfume on the market, as long as you put two drops on your body, you can keep the fragrance for a day.
How can we keep these ladies from going crazy?
As for the source of goods for tulips, that is simpler.
As a big merchant, how could it be possible not to understand the trend of the market.
When they discovered this product, they immediately monopolized all perfumes.
Even if others want to buy it, they can't buy it, so they can only come to the Tulip Chamber of Commerce.
The slave went to queue for more than half an hour before buying 5 bottles of perfume.
When Anthony looked at the five perfume bottles in his hand, which were only half the size of his thumb, he suddenly felt speechless.
Just this small bottle of perfume cost ten gold coins.
You must know that the income of ordinary middle-aged people is only two gold coins a month.
In other words, this perfume, which I don't know how many times it can be used, is worth nearly half a year's salary of a strong man.
He opened one of the bottles of perfume and smelled it.
A faint fragrance came to my face.
This shook him up.
I have even imagined that my concubines, if they put on this perfume and come in front of me, I will definitely have the idea of kissing Fangze.
Carefully put away the 5 bottles of perfume, he planned to go back and give them to his 5 favorite women.
Then she looked at some other shops.
All the new products are being snapped up by people.
Even Anthony found this scene a bit unbelievable.
After that, he not only bought perfume, but also bought a lot of small things.
You have thrown out a lot of money, but after a try, you can only say two words.
"It's delicious!"
The Law of True Fragrance is repeated in this other world. .
