Chapter 453 (1/2)
The Silk Road from the eastern regions to the western regions was not so rich.
After leaving the eastern regions, they entered the desolate western territory.
There is nothing there. It's easy to be robbed by the demons in the West!
That's dangerous and unprofitable.
Thus, the Silk Road from southern Xinjiang to Beihai is really the most productive and profitable silk road.
However, in today's troubled times, there are too many refugees because the world is difficult to mix up.
In order to have a bite, some people would not hesitate to become bandits. Among them, there were bandits who robbed the caravan, and even a large group of refugees were starving to the extreme. They directly stood by the caravan on the way. When the caravan came, they would stop in front of the caravan, demanding to leave food!
Otherwise, it's a robbery!
When the caravan met with such a situation, they were really dumb and ate Coptis. They couldn't say what they had suffered. They couldn't resist the bandits, or they would have lost their lives!
But for the refugees, they are not able to kill all of them ruthlessly. After all, it is not easy for anyone in this troubled time.
What's more, the refugees are so hungry that they don't fear death.
Even if they kill in front of this kind of refugees, they will never get out of the way.
They will be more difficult to deal with, until the caravan is willing to give them something, they will get out of the way.
Among these refugees, not everyone is inhuman.
They are only forced by the chaotic times to such an unreasonable level, but they usually only ask the caravan for enough food to eat and then leave on their own, and will never embarrass the caravan any more.
After a few such experiences, passing caravans usually prepare more food to ”buy” the money.
At this time, there are fewer and fewer caravans.
Some of them are frightened by bandits, others are forced to become refugees by the chaotic times...
even so, businessmen still have to send caravans to do business to make money, otherwise, they will go bankrupt and become refugees.
After that, the caravan usually hired qualified monks as bodyguards to escort the caravan to its destination.
Now, there is a group of friars going to Beihai Qilu, willing to go with them, that is the best!
With so many monks accompanying, the security has been greatly improved. These businessmen are naturally very happy!
So he treated the monks as if they were serving their ancestors!
After Zhou Hao and his party joined the mountain pair, they were one of the most famous people in the business caravan.
Just because he has a mount.
There is a mount, which is at least a common collocation of a good monk.
If the mount is more remarkable, the identity of the owner's family is of course even more remarkable!
Because of their identity, Zhou Hao, Da Qingzi, and two dogs and three ”mounts” were treated favorably by businessmen.
If the caravan is in danger in the future, they will naturally have to pay the greatest strength, or they will certainly be thrown down by the merchants.
