Warhammer 30k and the Great Tomb of Nazarick

Chapter 39 Trading
The Pu Pai family is a very small family of wandering merchants. Normally, wandering merchants drive huge Conqueror cargo cruisers across the starry sea, but the Pu Pai family only has one frigate.

Although it was very shabby, this was really all their family had.

To put it bluntly, it would be normal for such a small fleet of wandering merchants to be destroyed by space pirates one day.

The reason why the Pu faction is so poor is not because it is involved in political struggles or encounters a war crisis.

They are so poor because they were really that poor to begin with.

In fact, the process by which the Pu family was able to obtain a roving trader's license was not very legitimate.

The most common Rogue Trader Licenses of the Empire were signed by Roboute Guilliman, Primarch of the Ultramarines. The most valuable were those signed by the Emperor himself, while the most exclusive licenses came from the Primarch of the Space Wolves, Leman Russ, also known as the Wolf King.

The current patriarch of the Plough family, Jack Plough, was then just a second-generation rich man in the industrial world. He was keen on adventure and had no interest in just living a life of idleness and waiting for death and then inheriting his father's seventy super factories covering half the planet.

So after inheriting his father's estate, he spent half of his fortune to buy a bottle of rare wine from a smuggler that was said to come from the Eldar.

Jack presented the wine to Leman Russ. After successfully getting the Primarch drunk, Jack obtained a Rogue Trader permit from the Wolf King.

Then he sold all his remaining property, bought a cargo ship and started his own vigorous business life.

Twenty years have passed in a flash. He can't say that he made a fortune, but at least he lost everything.

After getting the spaceship, Jack headed straight for the border of the empire.

Then Jack's experience over the years was basically suffering from Dark Eldar pirates, then Greenskins, then Bloodthirsty Aliens, then Greenskins again.

After much difficulty, they found a world that might have a large number of ruins, but they were almost killed by a metal skeleton that glowed green.

After much reflection, Jack decided to take a safer route, but he never dreamed that the local governor would launch a rebellion as soon as he delivered the goods to the place!
God have mercy on us.

In the galaxy near that world there was a powerful chapter of Space Marines, a chapter of the Word Bearers.

Where did the planet's governor get the confidence to launch a rebellion? Did he eat too many mushrooms?

They actually dared to raise the flag of rebellion right under the nose of the Empire. After including the time spent on the journey, it only took the Word Bearers a week to completely end this stupid rebellion.

The crazy planetary governor was hanged directly under his weird eight-pointed star flag.

This rebellion dealt a heavy blow to Jack. All the cargo was taken away by the rebellious governor, and the cargo ship was seized and used in the war. Although Jack finally got his cargo ship back, it was already riddled with holes.

Considering that the cost of repairing the ship was not enough even if he sold himself, Jack had to exchange this old ship and his meager savings for a frigate.

If Jack had some assets originally, he would have relied on his great willpower to hold on after this blow.

Finally, after years of hard work, Jack successfully transformed his vehicle from the Conqueror-class cruiser commonly seen among traveling merchants into the current Sword-class frigate.

Moreover, he could not even fill the ship with sailors, and could only bring along some fanatical missionaries who believed in the Emperor and regarded him as a god.

These guys don't want money and work very hard. Their only request is that after arriving in the new world, a small number of them stay in this world to preach.

Although Jack felt that these new things seemed to be a little different from the Imperial Truth, who cares? The Emperor did not prohibit it anyway.

Besides, the emperor is so powerful, it is obviously more reasonable for him to be a god.

In this way, Jack captured some gangster thugs and scum from the bottom of the hive as coolies, and barely made up the manpower.

And considering that if he doesn't do some big business with high profits, he will no longer have to be a traveling merchant in this life.

So he gritted his teeth and packed up and sold the last pieces of art and books of inherited knowledge left in his family, exchanging them for a ship full of equipment.

Although most of them are obsolete items, they are large in quantity and filling.

After all, fifty throne coins could not buy the Imperial Army's laser gun at all, but a gunpowder-type automatic gun that cost one kilogram of one throne coin could be used.

Then Jack took his 80% new Imperial Navy frigate, formerly the Dwarf and now the Lucky, and rushed to the border of the Empire in the Hazy Star Region.

He decided that it would be best to find a backward alien planet this time, colonize it directly, and then sell it to other forces in the empire. If that doesn't work, he will become a mercenary. If that still doesn't work, he will rob pirates. In short, Jack, who was so eager to get the throne coins that his eyes turned green, couldn't care less.

And he was also lucky, as he received the White Scars' distress signal while running around the border.

Jack immediately decided that this was extremely good news.

A planet occupied by backward witchcraft aliens. Even if one's own power cannot liberate it, if one joins in now, that would be the original share.

Jack, determined, rushed over at a speed that would make White Scar give him a thumbs up.

The arrival of the wandering merchant made Mamiko, Barn and others who were worried about the lack of manpower very happy.

But knowing that this traveling merchant only had one frigate, they were speechless.

As a child of the noble family, Mamiko, and as a member of the White Scars' exploration team, Barn were well-informed, but it was also the first time for them to see such a poor wandering merchant.

Governor Jim was very happy. After all, the planet Agaro was too barren. The average population density was less than one person per ten thousandth of a square kilometer. Except for the ships collecting the tithe, no one went there normally, so naturally there were no traveling merchants.

Originally, Mamiko didn't want to bother with such a weak traveling merchant, but when she heard that the goods he was transporting were the munitions they currently needed, and that he was willing to lend manpower and resources at a low price, Mamiko decided to have a talk.

Jack and his butler and bodyguard Marni Chen were invited to the other side of the portal and tasted the fresh food from ancient Terra.

After tasting the food called cucumber, Jack praised it highly.

He was also very curious about the existence called magic in this world, and was also interested in those beautiful elves.

There are many things here that can be sold for a high price.

But so, Jack decided to go big.

He used his amazing wisdom to formulate a plan in a short period of time. He led his people to participate in the war on this planet and became the first generation of nobles. Then, relying on his status as a great noble, he obtained the privilege of low or even tax exemption, and made a fortune.

Buy back your own Conqueror-class freighter, and even buy three more Moon-class cruisers, travel freely in the starry sea, and reach the peak of your life.

Looking at the local indigenous leader who was brought before him, Jack smiled confidently.

"Like I said let's talk about money."

He knew that this local native named John certainly could not make the decision, and what he just said was just a habitual opening remark. After he finished speaking, he faced Mamiko and Barn again.

These two are the ones who really have the final say here.

"As you all know, what I brought with me were arms, which should have been worth a lot of money."

"But considering that it's all for the purpose of fighting against the enemies of humanity, I can give away the arms for free."

"Oh, Captain Jack, what's the price?"

"Colonel Romanov, how dare I ask you for a price? I just have a small request."

"Seeing these evil and blasphemous aliens, I am also outraged, so I hope to lead people to participate in the war to eliminate evil from this world. To this end, I can provide enough weapons to arm 10,000 people and 10,000 laborers."

"Afterwards, I just want to become the first noble in this world and have my own trading port."

Although I don't really want to let the Rogue Trader intervene, a few thousand people are not enough for conquering a vast world. And considering the instability of the warp, the time for the arrival of other reinforcements is uncertain, so adding a Rogue Trader as an auxiliary force is not a bad idea.

Mamiko thought about it and asked Barn for his opinion. After receiving a positive answer, she asked John again.

What could John say? He could only agree.

In this way, the five thousand followers of the Ecclesiarch followed the Fortune and stepped into the land of another world, holding the "Sacred Words" written by the great Primarch Lorgar.

Also coming into this world with the wandering merchants were some tiny, inconspicuous spores.
