"That...... I don't understand that the concept of 'agency' was not proposed by you yourself, but now it is ......

Do you think my fleet is not strong enough, or is it to punish me for concealing it? ”

After Lilu learned that she could not obtain the "agency", she bit her lip with a pale face and asked politely.

She didn't hide her sad expression, which made Kenshin-chan, Ayagozen and others involuntarily sympathize with this petite and weak girl, and even ignore the fact that she is a military general who is far more powerful than ordinary men.

"No...... We only intend to set up 'agents' in our own country, and for foreign merchants, our transactions will take on a new form.

In fact, we didn't have a big need for money in Echigo, we needed materials, and many East Asian merchants made their fortunes by exchanging cheap materials from neighboring countries for gold and silver in our Echigo.

These goods, which are only produced by us in Echigo, will be traded in the form of 'barter trade'.

As long as foreign merchants are able to transport the goods specified by us for trading, they can get a more favorable purchase price; If the goods traded are undesirable to us, it is possible that we may not be able to exchange for any of our exclusive products and will have to trade otherwise.

I'll give you a free copy of the product catalogue and discount ratio, so you can think about what you can buy elsewhere and how you can match it to maximize your profits.

In addition, our exchange rates for various types of goods are not fixed, and the quantities are not unlimited.

If we import too many items into a certain category, we will reduce its exchange rate or even reject it.

Once you've decided on the product you want to exchange, you can come to me directly to determine the remaining share of the product and sign the trade contract.

As long as you ship the goods specified in the contract and meet the quality standards within the time specified in the contract, we will trade the goods you need to you according to the price and quantity specified in the contract.

If the transaction amount is particularly large, we will add a penalty clause for breach of contract on both parties; In a contract with no penalty clause for breach of contract, there is a good chance that the goods you have ordered will be sold to other merchants at the market price after you have defaulted - even if you arrive before any merchant has purchased the goods, you will only be able to exchange the goods at the market price.

Based on the number of contracts and the number and quality of completed contracts, we will assign a credit rating to the broker.

Merchants with higher credit ratings will receive preferential treatment such as preferential signing of contracts, purchase of goods on credit, loans, etc.; Businessmen with low credit ratings must pay a deposit in advance when signing a contract; Merchants with low credit ratings are unable to enter into contracts with us and can only expect certain goods to enter the market due to default or other reasons.

――Of course, they can also buy from our 'agents' in various parts of the country, but if we find that the price fluctuations of Echigo-exclusive products in the region are abnormal, we have the right to suspend the supply of such goods indefinitely. ”

Chu Xuan's answer was very clear and clear, but this was for Lilu, after he had roughly introduced Echigo's "barter trade", except for Lilu, Hei Chang Nao Lori Naoe, and the "Kai Tiger" Takeda Shingen, the other girls present were already drowsy.

-- Takeda Shingen is an unborn genius who is "both civil and military", and compared with the "Dragon of Echigo" Uesugi Kenshin, except for her ability to command operations, she is much stronger than Kenshin-chan in other aspects, especially in internal affairs.

"I see, thank you for helping me.

Although I don't know much about the detailed trading method, from your introduction, it should be a very well-established business policy, and it is truly a 'win-win'.

We, the Agot Chamber of Commerce, have the determination and ability to establish long-term and stable trade relations with Echigo. ”

Lilu bowed to Chu Xuan solemnly and raised her head again, her eyes were already full of brilliance shining like stars in the sky, making people subconsciously willing to believe what she said.

Chu Xuan nodded expressionlessly, and then took the initiative to ask her questions that had nothing to do with "business":

"In the future, if you have a problem with trade, you can come to me directly - including officials who ask you or other businessmen for taxes and fees that are not regulated.

If you don't have anything else to do, then I'd like to ask you for some information about Europe......"

Then, Chu Xuan asked the Dutch merchant Lilu and the Portuguese nun Louise about Europe and other continents that Lilu had visited, but unlike Aya Gozen and others, Chu Xuan was not interested in foreign customs, anecdotes, treasures and wealth, and what he asked about the regional politics, famous figures, and history of each region.

From Lilu's mouth, Chu Xuan could be regarded as having an exact understanding of the chaos of time in this world.

Unexpectedly, Britain and France in Europe now started the "Hundred Years' War" because of religious conflicts, and the names of the leaders of both sides are even more terrifying - the French side is naturally the famous Joan of Arc, and the British are led by the more famous Artoria and her Knights of the Round Table.

This is not at all whether the people of the same era are good or not - but the Three Kingdoms period in China and the Warring States period in the original book also do not belong to the same era.

The religious conflict between England and France became a conflict between the Druidic Christianity in England, which was still under Celtic rule, and the Old Christianity in France.

Protestantism and Old Christianity clashed between France and Spain, and the nascent Dutch and Hanseatic Leagues.

However, when Chu Xuan inquired about the situation of the "New World", he could be regarded as having roughly understood the thoughts of the main god who "created" this world.

At this time, North America was the territory of the Indians, Central America was the territory of the Aztecs, and South America was divided between the Mayans, the Incas, and the famous Amazonian warriors.

Although the Europeans built trading posts and even cities in the coastal areas to do business with these Native Americans, they were not able to occupy the Americas at all, because gunpowder weapons had not yet been developed, and the Native Americans had awakened no less "unequaled" generals than Europeans.

Presumably, the civilizations that Chu Xuan saw on Australia and New Zealand in the satellite photos should also belong to the indigenous Australians, but they have not yet come into contact with the civilizations of other continents, and they are isolated overseas and have developed a civilization that is still quite primitive.
