@Faryshta Wow. You really are as dumb as you sound. By the way, to make that clear, you sound extremely dumb.
Did you read my comment at all? I am saying the opposite of what you claim I'm saying.
Yes, the intermediaries are needed. Guess what? If other countries are already using intermediaries to trade with the pagans, then why not just skip the sugar cane seed part and just trade regular food through the intermediaries? Herp derp, too hard for you to understand.
And now I know you're just a boring troll who can't even understand what cartoonish means. Even if you tried reading my comments for 20 minutes, I bet you still wouldn't understand because your reading comprehension is just that bad.
