Chapter 528 (1/2)
Just as Su Cheng and others were slowly marching towards the imperial capital——
Holy Hiram Empire, somewhere on the far east front.
”El, keep you waiting ~”
”You are so slow...” El looked helplessly at Gabriel and Camille who were walking towards him.
”Gabriel is to blame.” The expressionless Camille took the lead in complaining, ”Gabriel can shit for half an hour, and I took it too.”
”I ate too much last night.” Gabriel rubbed his stomach as he said, ”and shit is one of the few happy times of my day. I want to enjoy it slowly.”
”All right, let's go.” El smiled helplessly and then turned away. ”It's time to go to the exchange.”
”Ah... It's annoying...” Gabriel followed El closely, picking up his nose. ”I hate to patrol the market. I hate the smell of grassland people.”
Speaking of this, Gabriel just pulled a big piece of nose shit out of his nostril.
Gabriel bounced the nose shit on his tail finger and spoke to Camille:
”Camille, how did you go to the exchange market with interest?”
”Don't you find it interesting to browse these exotic goods?”
”It's not interesting at all.”
”Well, the topic is over.”
”Don't end the topic so soon!”
……
Mutual market, also known as mutual trade, is a commodity exchange activity between the Holy Hiran Empire and the Hungarians at the open points or designated markets approved by the imperial government on the far east border and under the supervision of the Holy Hiran Empire Government.
The exchange market is not only in the holy Helan Empire, but also in the Frankish empire.
The prairie of the Far East is a treasure house, with many goods that are often in short supply in countries such as the holy Helan Empire and the Frankish empire. For example: fur, dairy products, handicrafts full of exotic styles
In the eyes of xiongran people, the Holy Hiran Empire and other countries are also a big treasure house, with many goods that will be sold out immediately when they are listed. For example: silk, tea, jewelry
Therefore, the relationship between the Hungarians, the Holy Hiran Empire and the Frankish empire is very delicate - they don't like each other, but they all need each other.
Therefore, the mutual market, a trading place for exchanging goods within the scope designated by the government, was born.
The exchange market on the side of the Holy Hiran empire is opened only twice a year - in April and August each year, each lasting for one month.
However, although the mutual market is a free market that can freely exchange each other's goods, not all goods can be exchanged.
The holy Helan Empire strictly prohibited the exchange of important strategic resources with the Huns, such as salt and iron ore
The Hungarians are not stupid. The Hungarians also strictly prohibit businessmen from exchanging important strategic resources with the hirans and Franks, such as war horses.
However, businessmen have always been a species that dare to sell their own ropes for money.
Even though the government has strictly prohibited the sale of any strategic materials, every time the exchange is opened, there are still a large number of businessmen who are dazzled by the profits of that day, risking being hanged or beheaded to smuggle strategic resources.
Therefore, on the side of the holy Hiram Empire, at the beginning of the trade market every year, a large number of Quartermaster officers will be sent to monitor the trade market to see if there are businessmen in their country smuggling strategic materials.
