After a night of silence, the next morning, Zhao Hai and the others woke up and began to move around the camp. But what they did wasn't very obvious, they only made some simple transactions with the beastmen, they also wanted to see if the beastmen had any good things that they could exchange for at a discounted price.
Zhao Hai now has time, they have a month to inquire about information, so of course they wouldn't be in a hurry. So what they need to do now is to eliminate the beastmen's vigilance. How can they eliminate their vigilance? For the beastmen, you can't just chat with them or help them with their work and sell them food at a discounted price.
Zhao Hai and the others did this, but they did it very covertly. Their transactions would never make people feel that they were deliberately trying to curry favor, they didn't go beyond being merchants.
The Fighting Bulls who were monitoring Zhao Hai and the others found that Zhao Hai's performance was too normal, so they didn't have anything to monitor. In order to make sure that they didn't make a mistake, the Fighting Bulls who were monitoring Zhao Hai and the others would look for the other party after they finished their transactions. They wanted to know what Zhao Hai said to them, but to their disappointment, Zhao Hai only made a simple transaction with them and didn't say anything more.
After four days, the Fighting Bulls lost their patience to monitor Zhao Hai, even the foreign affairs elder agreed to Beta's request to relax their monitoring of Zhao Hai and the others. When Zhao Hai and the others returned to the camp, they could see through the monitor that there weren't many people around their camp anymore, this made Zhao Hai feel relieved.
However, he didn't rush to inquire about information, he still moved around the camp every day, but the range of his activities had increased, and he was slowly moving towards the center of the camp.
On the fifth day after they arrived at West Wonder King's camp, Wales' Blood Hawk arrived at Zhao Hai's place. Zhao Hai wrote down the details of the situation here and then gave it to the Blood Hawk to deliver to Wales.
He told Wales not to count on West Wonder King, he was afraid that West Wonder King would seek refuge with the Fighting Bull Clan. The reason why he stayed here was to inquire about the Fighting Bull Clan's situation. At the same time, he also wanted to know about the situation of the second and third princesses. If the two were in trouble, he would find a way to rescue them and then reunite with him.
After sending the letter, Zhao Hai felt relieved. At the same time, he also looked at the progress of the carts, tomorrow they would officially enter the camp. This time, they brought a total of three million jin of food, this was not a small number.
When Zhao Hai saw this situation, he immediately went to find Beta. These days, Zhao Hai had the most contact with Beta. Although he knew that Beta was sent by the elder to monitor him, he still took the initiative to contact Beta, this allowed him to eliminate Beta's vigilance. If he always avoided Beta, then it would be impossible for Beta to relax his monitoring in just a few days.
Beta was mainly responsible for the safety of his camp, so he didn't need to graze like the other Fighting Bulls. What he did every day was patrol, so Zhao Hai easily found him.
In the past few days, under Zhao Hai's special treatment, Beta's relationship with him was very good. So when he saw Zhao Hai, Beta immediately smiled and said, "Brother Zhao Hai, what are you busy with?"
Zhao Hai quickly replied, "Brother Beta, I was looking for you, I have something I need your help with."
Beta stared blankly for a moment, then said, "Brother Zhao Hai, you don't need to be so polite with me. What is it, as long as I can help, I'll certainly help."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Brother Beta, tomorrow our caravan will arrive at the camp. This time, they brought a lot of food, I need to find a place to put it, you have to arrange a good place for me."
Beta stared blankly for a moment, then said emotionally, "You came back so quickly, Brother Zhao Hai, your subordinates are very fast. How many jin of food did you bring this time?"
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "About three million jin."
Beta stared blankly, then he looked at Zhao Hai with a startled expression, "Brother Zhao Hai, did you say three million jin? Not three hundred thousand jin? "
Zhao Hai laughed and said, "Brother Beta, how can I joke with you about this matter, it's three million jin, so you need a large place."
Beta looked at Zhao Hai and quickly said, "Brother Zhao Hai, you go back to the camp and wait, I'll immediately report to the elders and give you an answer."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly, then he gave Beta a salute and turned away. Beta looked at Zhao Hai's back, then he immediately turned around and walked towards the Foreign Affairs Elder's tent.
When he arrived outside the Foreign Affairs Elder's tent, Beta didn't have time to report and directly broke into the tent. Fortunately, there was no one inside, only the Foreign Affairs Elder was handling an account book. Seeing Beta come in, the Foreign Affairs Elder was dissatisfied and said, "Can't you be a bit more calm? You're already an adult, yet you're still so impatient. "
Beta didn't have time to salute as he said, "Elder, Zhao Hai just came to me and asked me to prepare a place for him. Tomorrow, his first batch of food will arrive, a total of three million jin."
The Foreign Affairs Elder stared, then his eyes lit up as he said, "So fast? Is it really three million jin? "
Beta nodded and said, "Yes, Zhao Hai said it, he's very sure."
The Foreign Affairs Elder gently closed his eyes and muttered, "Three million jin of food at half price, this really saves us a lot of trouble. You go and arrange a place for him, a good place. When the food arrives tomorrow, you can help unload it and see the quality of the food."
Beta nodded, then he turned around and left. After Beta left, the Foreign Affairs Elder opened his eyes and muttered, "It arrived so quickly? Does he have a transit station in the Prairie? "
Human merchants building transit stations in the Beastmen Prairie wasn't a strange thing. Some large human merchants would build transit stations in the Beastmen Prairie. Generally, these transit stations would cooperate with medium or large beastmen tribes. They would place their goods in the beastmen tribe and then pay the tribe a commission. This way, they would be able to transport their goods to the place they wanted them to be transported to.
The Foreign Affairs Elder didn't care, he was only thinking about Zhao Hai's food. To be honest, Zhao Hai's food was really cheap. Even the merchants who often cooperated with them couldn't give Zhao Hai this price. Those merchants' food was almost the same price, a thousand jin for an argali. But Zhao Hai's food was half the price of those merchants.
What does half the price mean for West Wonder King's camp? This meant that they would have more food. To them, this was the best news they could get.
When Zhao Hai first came to him, he didn't believe in Zhao Hai. Therefore, he had Zhao Hai deliver the food so that they could give him the argali. He didn't think that Zhao Hai's food would arrive so quickly.
The next morning, a huge convoy slowly approached West Wonder King's camp. As it got closer and closer, Beta and the others stood at the side of the camp, looking at the convoy. This convoy was composed of more than a thousand carriages. At the front were a hundred large carriages commonly used in the prairie, followed by small carriages commonly used by humans.
Zhao Hai stood outside the labor field. This time, the convoy was filled with undead. In fact, he didn't need to worry about them. But this time, Beta and the others were waiting for the food carriages. Looking at the long line of carriages, Zhao Hai's heart was very excited. This convoy was his, all of this was his, how could he not be excited?
After the convoy arrived, Zhao Hai and Beta immediately led the convoy to an open space. Beta and the others had arranged for Zhao Hai to store the food. Now that it was almost winter, it was impossible for it to rain in the prairie. Therefore, even if the food was stored in the open, there was no need to worry about it getting wet.
Beta had been paying attention to the bags of food on the carriages. These bags of food looked very ordinary, there was nothing special about them. Beta carefully observed them, he wanted to know the quality of Zhao Hai's food.
Soon, they arrived at the open space. Zhao Hai originally wanted to direct the undead to unload the food, but he didn't expect Beta and the others to come and help. Zhao Hai felt embarrassed to refuse, so he agreed.
When Beta picked up a bag of food, he froze for a moment. This was because this bag of food was very heavy. It wasn't that he couldn't carry it, but it was much heavier than the other grain merchants.
This made Beta stunned for a moment, then his face sank. He had encountered this situation before, those grain merchants would add sand to the food to make it heavier. This was one of Beta's most hated methods of counterfeiting.
He picked up a few more bags of food without making a sound. All the bags were so heavy, which made Beta's face turn even uglier. After he picked up the food, he pretended to be careless and dropped a bag from his shoulder. This bag of food was made from cloth, and after such a long time of transportation, the cloth was not necessarily sturdy. When it fell from Beta's shoulder, the bag immediately split open.
Beta looked at the bag of food, he wanted to ridicule Zhao Hai, but when he saw the bag of food, he froze. The grain in the bag was of the highest quality, each grain seemed to be shining with oil. If this grain couldn't be called the highest quality, then the grain they had eaten before could only be regarded as substandard rice. The most important thing was that there wasn't even a grain of sand in the bag, it was very clean.
Beta stared blankly at the bag of food. The other Fighting Bulls also gathered around and looked at the cracked bag of food on the ground. Their expressions were as wonderful as Beta's.
These Fighting Bulls deliberately broke the bag of food and then looked for trouble with the human merchants. As long as they found a problem with the food, they would do it. This way, they could lower the price. Originally, when they saw Beta doing this, everyone was ready to kick up a fuss, but when they saw the food on the ground, everyone lost their voice.
