Each horse carries two 100-pound bags of tobacco, saddlebags, and these guys, you know, will storm into a town.

These begin to be kind of mid-level towns, not, not the biggest towns.

They never do this in Lyon or Grenoble, but they do it in the kind of middling towns, and they come in, and they develop a procedure that's very clear, and becomes a pattern.

They secure the, all the gates in these towns.

These towns were generally walled with city gates to protect them from people like bandits and things like that.

Right.
