A huge fleet of ships abducted into an archipelago, and the great businessman Gould started this year's trade with great enthusiasm.

Lake Mlaren is sparkling, and the boats on the lake are rippling. A large number of fishing boats do daily operations, and there are other transport ships with their different kinds of goods, trying to sell them at a good price in the market on the shore.

Gould's forty boats came from the north, and when they arrived at the mouth of the lake, they attracted the attention of nearby fishermen.

"Brothers! Light up the sign."

He gave the order, and a large sail, dyed with the emblem of the Unkras tribe, showed up, and the top of the mast was the emblem of Gould's family.

Don't expect the fishermen to recognize Gould. What they know best is the signs of each tribe.

They come from the north, are they Ross?

is actually from Ankras. Why are they?

Gould naturally did not have time to communicate with the first batch of fishermen who encountered him, they were definitely not his own buyers.

The villages where the fishermen live are built on a large number of shallow sea sandbanks. The new bazaar formed here hundreds of years later is Stockholm.

Gould's destination is more distant.

The fleet entered Lake Mlaren, waiting for him to sail for a whole day.

He will surely sell out the traditional fur goods shipped from the north in a short period of time. Whoever sells the goods is a matter of particularity.

Although the Mlaren people are richer, it is very important for them to satisfy the wealthy households of the Ankras tribe where they belong.

Not to mention, this year's situation is very different!

Ross not only sells a batch of high-quality furs, but also a lot of high-end goods.

Gould was full of enthusiasm, he had fantasized about making a lot of money.

"Master, there are more and more ships ahead. Are we..."

"No need! Now is not a good time to sell. Let's go back to Anklas first." Gould denied his subordinate's suggestion.

In fact, many of Yang Fan's subordinates are paddling at the same time, and their body is affected by fatigue. They want to go ashore to rest.

For example, buy some food and drink at the market, buy some high-quality linen to make some new clothes. Or simply find some beautiful women and spend the night comfortably.

After all, these guys who followed Gould for a long time saw Gould and the two maids having fun all day long. And those Ross women were unwilling, even if they were men from allied tribes.

Because of Gould, he just wanted to go home early.

But he stood on the bow, squinting his eyes and watching the lively market not far away.

The core of the Melaren tribe, a huge settlement with a population of up to 10,000, and the surrounding small villages along the lake, the tribal population is as high as 20,000.

The core area is not given a special name. Merchants all call it Merlaren, or are prefixed with a place-name suffix noun "Fort".

Gould didn't want to disturb the business here, but the small tourist merchants who followed him closely turned into the market.

The most exciting moment is when the ship arrives at the port. The leader of Merlaren is happy to see merchants coming and going to trade in his territory.

Whether it is a merchant from land or sea, or even a Norwegian merchant who has climbed over the mountains and came from the west.

Only the Danes and the merchants of Gotland, even if these people can disguise themselves, once they are discovered, the goods are confiscated and their people beheaded.

Gould's fleet is too big! They did not actually have the intention of calling at the port. When the news reached the ears of Chief Mlaren, Anklas's transport fleet had already moved up the current and headed straight for their home port along the waterway.

Those are indeed transport ships, there is not a warship with a dragon head, and they are also sails of Unkras.

However, all ships that had close contact with them were shocked by the draught of those ships.

They gradually lined up into a giant python, upstream in a small river, to the northwest of Anklas!

The forest is lush and green, and the Anklas people have opened up some farmland on the riverside.

Gould noticed that the wheat of his tribe had grown young, and there was still another four months to wait.

Compared to the Roths, Gould is fortunate that his people have land that can be cultivated. Besides the climate, Anklas is warmer than Roseburg.

Wheat, onion, cabbage. Rurik puts down his rhetoric and will double buy them. Originally, trafficking in these crops could only make a small amount of money, but with Rurik's promise, this matter also became profitable.

The entire Anklas tribe has a total population equal to that of the White Tree Manor in Novgorod.

They are deep inland, connected to Lake Mlaren by the waterway. Circumstances determined that they could not become the Russ fishermen who could sweep herring across the Gulf of Bothnia. They became farmers, and they were more loyal to raising cattle and sheep during the slack season.

Of course there must be commerce, but there are too few residents of the tribe, and the richest are only a dozen people and families that are not thriving.

Here, Gould is undoubtedly the richest.

He is not only rich, because he has raised a guard composed of fifty strong fighters, at least the clansmen, and even the big leaders, dare not attack his ideas.

Even Gould can use money to buy people's hearts, and he becomes the leader of the Ankras.

He has never thought about this. He doesn't want to assume the responsibilities and obligations of a big boss, he just wants to be a rich man.

However, wealth without power to defend will eventually be a dream.

The Anklaas are too weak compared to the Melalen, and in terms of population alone, the Ross are also much weaker than the Melalen.

Perhaps the balance of power is being broken by the Otto father and son of the Rus.

Spring is here. After the ice and snow melt, the people of Melaren have rushed to the market of Melaren to sell their own agricultural products. For example, leather jackets made of cheese, yogurt blocks and sheepskin, and even a few metal tools made by blacksmiths.

Besides, how many ways can Ankrasians have to earn wealth?

Everyone knows that no one in the tribe is richer than Gould, who has lived in Roseburg for a long time.

Many people imagine that maybe a million silver coins are buried in this old guy's house!

This is of course a joke, but everyone is willing to believe that Gould's money is at least one hundred thousand silver coins.

Gould is back, don't bother him to disembark himself, the mighty fleet has already proved his identity.

A large number of farmers farming on the farmland by the river stopped to watch the fleet of their tribe, and they could see a fat man standing on the bow of the ship from a distance! Is there anyone fatter than that family? No more.

Anklas people know that Gould and his five sons are a group of fat people, and the women with them are even more plump.

The news spread quickly across the settlements, and a large number of people flocked to the tribe's riverside dock.

The leader of the tribe Ungriffe was excited: "What? Is the news reliable?"

The humble servant complimented: "It is true, it must be Gould. No one of us has more ships than his."

The truth is true, but the big leader Ungriffe was a little unhappy.

He knew that his leader should not convince people. Everyone knows that the Gould family is the richest. Isn't it logical that that guy is the leader?

As a result, the fat man spent most of the year mixing with the Ross people in the far north.

It seems that he has power, and poor himself can't maintain a guard of fifty strong fighters for a long time.

Give the guard a salary of up to 600 silver coins a month? The big leader Ungriffe couldn't spend this money by himself for a long time. By his side, there are only more than a dozen followers who are physically fit, and they will only follow the action at critical moments. Because according to his wealth status, he can only pay a small amount of money and hire a small group of people as "security guards."

Ungriffe twisted his beard, and slowly answered the servant waiting for the order: "Let's go. Gather the staff and let's go to the dock."

"Good! Big boss, do you need to change your armor?"

"No! I'm not going to the battlefield. Bring my sable coat."

At this moment, Ungriffe hopes that a sable fur coat that he has purchased with a huge amount of money will show his wealth status in appearance.

He eagerly led his men to the dock.

Before that, Gould's family members had received Xiner, and accompanied by a heavily armed warrior, they were already waiting at the dock.

Looking at the lively people, I knew that I was sloppy, and I didn't deserve to be close to the wealthy Gould.

Look at that guy's women! He actually has five wives, each with a ruddy complexion, wearing an all-white ferret coat and a gold-decorated belt tied around the waist. Even these women's leather boots are decorated with rubies, not to mention that they all have beautiful gold necklaces, and their ears are hung with huge cobalt sapphire earrings that almost break the ears.

The women are full of luxury, and the group of chubby children around them are even more well-dressed.

This is Gould's family, the person who Gould loves most. They are exactly the same! Gould wanted to have more sons to expand his family business, and he married a beautiful girl in the market of Mellaren. Now that I have five sons, I am returning now, and I want my wives to be jealous of the real life.

what! In Roseburg's days, only two women from Britain around him gave him physical comfort. However, if they give birth to a son, the situation will change again. I am afraid, it will become a grand occasion for seven wives to be jealous and contend for beauty.

Life should continue, not to mention that when you come back this year, a major family meeting concerning your family's future must be held.

Of course, before that, Gould still needs to pay a visit to the chief of the tribe, first of all, as if "filial piety", sell some of the goods shipped to him "cheap".

The ships landed one after another. Before that, Gould had covered his old face full of fat.

then ordered the two maids: "Annie, you two avoid it."

The two maids sat obediently, watching the oarsmen stand up, and desperately toss the cable to the trestle. People waiting on the shore took the rope and desperately pulled the ship to the shore.

Gould's big feet stepped firmly on the trestle bridge of the Ankras tribe's wharf, as if the entire bridge was shaking because of his weight.

Oh no! That's because the ship is carrying too much cargo. The powerful potential energy of the ship collided with the trestle bridge. No, two of the more than 20 trestle bridges of the tribe were stunned by the collision, even if the speed of the ship was very slow.

As soon as Gould went ashore, his five wives were as if they found half of gold, rushing over, for fear that the baby would be snatched by others.

The situation is also suitable. The original meaning of Gould's name is "a piece of gold."

They hope to get more pampering from their men, even if there are female slaves among these women.

No, after giving birth to a son, his status and status have completely changed.

Gould's cheerful face revealed dissatisfaction.

He rebuked: "You all go away, let's go home and talk about anything!" He desperately pushed away the hands of the women who had stretched out, and then got out of him after another rebuke.

However, it was the tribal leader Ungriffe that really made him get away.

Ungriffe, this man with a slightly dry face and a short beard and a scar under his eyes, his name means "fighting and offensive". However, they are now loyal to the inland agricultural tribe. Farm land and manage your own farmland.

There are many scars on Ungriffe's body, which are the result of fighting the Danes when he was young.

Until now, this enthusiasm for fighting has not been consumed by the years.

As a big leader, if a powerful enemy attacks, he must lead his people to participate in the battle.

As for the dozen or so professional businessmen, they will run away with their families.

Regarding this matter, Ungriffe could not restrain them, at most he muttered a few words.

Especially this Gould, what this person wants, even if it is to ask for the position of the leader, Angrieff thinks that if this is the case, he should withdraw.

"Oh, noble merchants like gold, you are finally back!" Ungriffe stretched out his arms and walked over, accompanied by a dozen guards.

At this moment, Gould is not only his family, but also dozens of loyal guards.

Especially the warrior Yevlo who was bought from the market and trained for more than ten years.

These guards are only loyal to their gold master, and the most powerful Jeflo is only loyal to his master.

Ungriffe is here~www.mtlnovel.com~ Even though the other party is very kind, they still remain vigilant.

The superficial skills must be done well. Gould pushed his own person away, and also stretched out his fat arms, and walked over firmly.

Two powerful people hugged each other. They patted each other's shoulders, and said some obviously polite blessings.

They let go of each other, and the big leader Ungriffe stopped lingering, and said straightforwardly: "You still come from the Ross people. It seems that this time you really brought a lot of good goods."

"Of course! I have never forgotten who I am. I am from Angkola. This year, I have bought more good things from the Ross people, some good things that will shock you. I am not in Mellaren at all. I stayed at the market, and I didn't even have any stay after entering the Great Lake. You see, I'm home, this is my only foothold along the way."

This is still very polite, and the leader Ungriffe was really happy to hear it.

Hehe asked: "Should it still be a batch of precious furs?"

"Of course! More than fur!" Gould was about to announce some big things to Ungriffe, and he estimated that those things would definitely make Ungriffe dissatisfied. Although in fact, I don't need to think about this old guy's mood at all, there is really no one in the entire tribe more powerful than himself.

In the end, I have been Anklas from my ancestors, and the friendship of several generations must be considered.
