Chapter 368

Zhao Hai knew that Feng POQI was testing him, but he didn’t mind. He was indeed going to celestial water city to do business, so there was nothing to hide. He smiled and said, ” &Quot; just as Sir said, I’m going there to do business, but it’s my first time there. I’m just going to take a look. &Quot;

&Nbsp; Feng POQI smiled, ” Tianshui city is really not bad. I wonder what kind of business you want to do there? ”

Zhao Hai smiled. &Quot; I have some business in the grasslands, but I don’t want to do it in the Versailles Duchy. I want to go to Tianshui city to take a look. I heard that there are ships from Tianshui city that can go to the grasslands. &Quot;

Hearing Zhao Hai’s words, Feng POQI did not doubt him at all. There were many people from the Roson Empire who went to the orc Plains to do business, so there was nothing strange about it. Moreover, it was allowed to do business there, and the tax was not very high. It was unlike the Arkas Empire, which needed to smuggle and bribe so many people. So, if one really wanted to do business in the orc Plains from the Roson Empire, it was possible. It was even lower than the cost of doing business in the plains from the Arkas Empire.

There was a reason for this. There was the Arkas Empire between the Roson Empire and the orc grassland. Even if the orcs wanted to invade the South, the Arkas Empire would be the first to be attacked. To the Roson Empire, it would not hurt them at all. Naturally, they would not restrict their business in the orc grassland. On the other hand, the Arkas Empire had to be controlled well, because a single mishandling of business would turn into providing for the enemy.

So every year, many merchants from the Arkas Empire would come to the Roson Empire, and then enter the orc Plains from the Roson Empire. In the end, most of these merchants settled in the Roson Empire and became people of the Roson Empire.

However, Feng POQI was very interested in the business that Zhao Hai was talking about. He looked at Zhao Hai and said, ” “Sir, you have business in the grasslands? Does this mean that Sir is very familiar with those orcs? I wonder if the business on the grassland is good?”

Zhao Hai smiled and said, ” it’s easy. The business on the grasslands is very good. The orcs lack food, resources, and everything. As long as you bring things to the grasslands, you can exchange them for cattle and sheep. However, the cattle and sheep on the grasslands will usually get sick on the mainland and are very difficult to raise. So, when the cattle and sheep are transported back, they will usually be killed immediately. The wool products on the grasslands are also very good and are in short supply on the mainland. &Quot;

Feng POQI’s eyes brightened as he looked at Zhao Hai, ” “Is there no risk in doing business on the grassland?”

Zhao Hai laughed. &Quot; of course there is a risk, and it is very high. Those orcs may become bandits at any time, but they usually only Rob food and don’t kill people. Most of the orcs are still willing to do business with us, but it is not as profitable as people say. &Quot;

Feng POQI nodded. He believed Zhao Hai’s words. Although it was very profitable to do business with orcs, the risks were not small either. He had seen many businessmen doing business with orcs. It was best if they did not end up with any good results.

Zhao Hai then asked Feng POQI about the Roson Empire. Feng POQI did not hide anything from Zhao Hai and told him about the Roson Empire in detail.

However, Xu Wanying had told him everything Feng POQI had said, so Zhao Hai didn’t gain much from it. The two of them chatted as they hurried on, and it was a peaceful journey.

After a while, their car slowed down. Feng POQI didn’t laugh. He smiled at Zhao Hai and said, ” &Quot; you must have arrived at the hundred battle fortress. Everyone is lining up to enter the city, so I won’t keep you any longer. You have to pay taxes and register when you enter the city. Please go back and make the arrangements. &Quot;

Zhao Hai stood up and smiled at Feng POQI, ” “Then I’ll take my leave. If you have time to go to Tianshui city in the future, you must come and find me, but I may have to go to Carson City.”

Feng POQI smiled and said, ” after passing the hundred battle fortress, there are three roads. The main road in the middle is the road to Carson City. The road to the left is the road to Tianshui city, and the road to the right is the road to Yabuli city. My destination is Yabuli city. Sir, if you go to Yabuli city in the future, you must come and find me. When you reach Yabuli city, you only need to find Shunfeng trading company. You can find me by asking Feng POQI. &Quot;

Zhao Hai smiled. &Quot; alright. I’ll definitely go if I have the chance. Goodbye. &Quot; After saying that, he opened the car door and returned to his car. However, he did not enter the car box immediately. Instead, he stood on the car’s platform and sized up the hundred battle fortress.

The hundred battle fortress looked even more impressive than the cold wind fortress. It was 250 feet tall and was entrenched at the exit of lifeline Canyon like a giant beast. The carriages below were like ants in front of this huge fortress, constantly crawling forward.

Zhao Hai never expected to see such tall walls on the ark continent. He couldn’t understand how the people on the ark continent managed to build such tall walls.

However, once he thought of magical magic, he was relieved. In this world, there were even magical things like magic and special techniques. What was impossible?

There were probably thousands of carriages in front of him, and he didn’t know when they would get their turn. He wasn’t in a hurry and returned to the carriage. Laura was chatting in the carriage.

Seeing Zhao Hai return, Laura immediately said, ” “What do you think, big brother hai? What did Feng POQI say to you?”

Zhao Hai smiled and said, ” nothing much. We just chatted for a while. You’re right. You were impressed by the way I dealt with those thieves last night. However, when he heard that I was going to do business with the orcs, he didn’t seem very enthusiastic. It’s strange. &Quot;

Laura smiled and said, ” not all merchants on the continent like to do business with orcs. Shun Feng trading company is one of them. I heard that since their establishment, they have never done business with orcs. It seems that the first owner of Shun Feng trading company has a grudge against orcs. &Quot;

Zhao Hai frowned. &Quot; but today, the storm asked me about the business in the grasslands. Could it be that they also want to interfere in the business there? ”

Laura thought for a moment and said, ” it’s possible. In any case, in the eyes of ordinary people, doing business in the grasslands is definitely profitable. After so many years, it’s normal for them to want to do business with the orcs. &Quot;

Zhao Hai nodded his head and did not continue talking about this matter. To Zhao Hai, Feng POQI was just a passer-by in his life. It was hard to say if he would encounter another Feng POQI in the future. He raised his head and said to Laura, ” &Quot; I want to send Ryan to Carson City first, then we’ll go to Tianshui city. What do you think? ”

Lola didn’t object. She just nodded and said, ” &Quot; that’s good too. She’s uncle Ivan’s daughter after all. We should take care of her. We’ve done our best to send her to Carson City and let her settle down. &Quot;

Zhao Hai nodded. &Quot; let Ryan settle down, and we will send a letter to uncle Ivan. Even if we have to complete the mission, we can’t control what happens in school. Even if we can’t, if Ryan offends someone in school, I’m afraid even Uncle Ivan won’t be able to do anything. &Quot;

Lola sighed and didn’t say anything. Instead, it was meg who said, ” “Young master, I think we should go directly to Tianshui city. It’s already good enough that she followed us here. Based on what she has done, we should have left by ourselves long ago. We shouldn’t have bothered with her at all.”

Zhao Hai didn’t say anything. He knew that meg hated Ryan even more than Laura, because Ryan first refused the marriage and then schemed against Zhao Hai. These were all reasons for meg to hate Ryan.

“Forget it,” Zhao Hai shook his head and said,”I’ll help him to the end.” As they were talking, a voice came from outside, ” &Quot; the carriages behind, listen up. You have to pay taxes. If you are not from the Roson Empire, you have to come here to register. &Quot;

Zhao Hai didn’t move. He just left these things to Xu Wanying and shun Yi. They didn’t need to worry about it at all. The guards wouldn’t make things difficult for them. After all, they were all nobles with titles. They wouldn’t dare to go too far.

Xu Wanying paid a tax of two gold coins and did a simple registration before he was allowed to go. However, Zhao Hai thought that two gold coins was not cheap. They only had two cars, and the tax rate was a little too high.

What he didn’t know was that this was because they were from the Arkas Empire. If they were from the Rosen Empire, they only needed to pay one silver coin for a carriage. The nobles could even be exempted from tax, but the people of the Arkas Empire could not. They had to pay heavy taxes.

As such, most of the people from the Arkas Empire who came to the Roson Empire to do business would have an identity in the Roson Empire. They would even spend money to buy an identity as a noble in the Roson Empire. This was also one of the tricks of the Roson Empire.

Zhao Hai and the others quickly entered the hundred battle fortress. As soon as they entered, Zhao Hai rolled down the window and looked out. Unlike the streets at Hanfeng fortress, the streets at Hanfeng Han’s place looked very dilapidated, and there were armored mercenaries everywhere.

On the other hand, the streets of the hundred battle fortress were very neat. There were shops on both sides of the street, and pedestrians were shuttling back and forth. It was a very prosperous place, completely different from the cold wind fortress.

Zhao Hai did not plan to leave the hundred battle fortress immediately. He wanted to rest here for the night and leave the next day. He could also take the opportunity to learn more about the local customs of the Roson Empire.

Even a place like cold wind fortress had Sheila hotel, so it was impossible for the hundred battle fortress to not have one. Zhao Hai and the others did not choose any other hotel to stay in, so they went straight to Sheila hotel.

However, Zhao Hai could feel the difference the moment he arrived at the hotel. Back at cold wind fortress, the hotel’s business was booming. Most of the businessmen would stay at the hotel. However, the hotel here in the hundred battle fortress did not seem to be doing so well. There were only a few people here, and it gave off the feeling that business was very bad.

However, the waiters in Sheila’s hotel were still as enthusiastic as ever. In fact, they were even more enthusiastic than when they were at Hanfeng fortress. They immediately arranged rooms for Zhao Hai and the others. Even the magical beasts were taken away immediately. This made Zhao Hai very confused.
