~ two goods you traded and why

Answer 1

I have traveled all over China and to Europe to sell diff things like paper bcuz the Europeans didn't have any and were able to give us their goods. I traded silk bcuz I knew I could trade it for a high price. I've seen ppl die all around me and decided to stay away from thosewith huge blisters upon them and was able to survive.I've seen ppl die of thirst and hunger bcuz they did not have the resources they needed but I was lucky to bring a plentiful supply. Of all those years I have traded I've heard out Jesus and Christianity.I thought those ppl where crazy.
