Bab 9: Dara teaches
Now let's go say Li Ban ...
Oh, my dear guest ... Dara interrupted him in mid-sentence, now is the time later, it is better to have a good snack, rest, gain strength, and tomorrow we will go together to inspect the mines and in order to see all the key mountain passes, passes, crossings will take more than one month, and you need to prepare for such a journey. If you are ready, then slowly and begin with tomorrow.
Now I will acquaint you with those who rule in our region, which clans are the most important. Who should be wary, with whom to be friends, who to ignore. I'll tell you the very structure of power, the biggest secret.
So in our principality, the five main clans are Benham, he holds the trade in wool and glass, Behruz - for food, Deroshi - they hold the whole market of chain mail and armor, Hendar - are responsible for weapons, and Shadi for everything else in the city, including the collection data on countries, foreigners in our kingdom.
I am just their clan, besides, I am the head of the clan! So welcome to us, dear guest!
Dara, he smiled broadly!
By the way, the guest probably guesses that each clan has its own symbol, Banem is respected, Behruz is lucky, Derosh is rich, Heider is a lion, but we, Shedi, are just happy!
Whoever has knowledge, who possesses information, knows a lot in front of it, this is how you, dear Li Ban, play Weiqi with me Dara, and I know in advance for fifty moves. So you lose to me. But we do one thing together, earn reputation and money. We have a joint business, we are allies. So relax. But at the same time keep your ears and eyes open. Do not get lost, come on!
Well, the most influential clan? Guess yourself! This clan begins with the letter Sh and ends with I. Well, that's the whole alignment. I do not understand at all, Sir Pei, why check everything? We have collected the most complete information, we have no need to deceive us, we have a joint business!
By the way, as they say here, I heard the phrase once I believed, I doubted two, and on the third I realized that they were lying to me. But in this case it does not work. As you understand the rules and life experience, it is not universal. Different situations, they change everything. Like plans, if they are inviolable like iron, they will break when there is a strong cold or load, then when plans are like water, they can easily adapt to changing situations. And thereby win, surviving!
Everything just works, everything complicated breaks down. Popular wisdom!
The forces that are in sight, they are just the face of the community, and those that are in the shadows, they manage everything. But only the elect know about them. This does not apply to you, Lee Ban. With all due respect, this is a different type of information and the price for it is higher, not your level, except that of Sir Pei. So alas, here I am not your assistant.
Li-Ban, I thought, probably this is the Sh family ... well, it was not worth further thinking about it. Not that level of access to information.
At the expense of mountain passes, passes, crossings are easy. Tomorrow we will go, we'll see. At the same time, we will look at taverns, caravanserais, fortresses, customs points, and introduce you to our robbers and smugglers. And how to trade without them?
Place of Birth? There are no problems, I'll show you around the capital, gold, silver. But precious stones and iron ... will need to ride. After 10 days show.
Crystals like your head, rubies and diamonds like a fist. Well, you will see everything yourself!
By the way, our horses are the best! Swift! Hardy and do not forget to buy them, our steel armor, protect against any weapon. Warranty! Secret? Let me just say - that the secret is in various supplements, but it's not for me, for Deroshi , but probably he won't sell you a secret, except that a more outdated version and not for money but for a favor from Sir Pei.
You learn tomorrow, and now everything, eat and sleep. Tomorrow we leave early in the morning, when the city is still asleep, and the guards are awake!
You will learn customs and traditions along the way, your experience is better than a thousand words. Although if these are my words, it is better than your experience.
