After leaving the Samat Territory, Sui Xiong ran to the Gelten Territory again. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

As the most important stationery producer of the entire main plane, it produces all kinds of stationery and supports the core industry of the entire territory. A small piece of stationery may seem inconspicuous, but it can provide as much income as an earl every year.

Don't think that "counts" are no big deal, you must know that in the Gold Federation, there are only fourteen counts in total.

The land area of the country is about the same as that of the United States on the earth, and if you don't consider Alaska, the shape of the land is also slightly similar, and it is a big lump of complete pieces, which feels a little flat. In such a large country, about 45 percent of the territory and 65 percent of the population are controlled by fourteen counts and two marquises. And the annual income of Gerten is equivalent to that of an earl, and he is still a count with a higher income.

In China's case, this place is almost equivalent to a province on the southeast coast.

It is amazing that a province can be supported by stationery income!

...... No, it should be said that just relying on the income of stationery, a prefecture-level city has the economic level equivalent to a province, which is simply crazy!

The key to this is the God of Knowledge.

The stationery business in the world is not only the Gelten Ling, but behind the Gelten Collar is the God of Knowledge, and the God of Knowledge is the guardian of culture and learning.

This is like the arms business on the earth, are you willing to buy from a country that has fought many wars, has a brilliant record, and has military bases everywhere in the world? Or are you willing to buy from a country that is cowering in the north of a peninsula and actually has to import even grain except for shouting loudly?

Strange things are naturally everywhere, but the choices of normal people are generally the same.

In addition to the stationery business, another industry in Gelten's collar is medicinal herbs. There are many medicinal herbs in the mountainous climate here, and you can make a lot of money every year.

However, the herb business is very restricted. The god of medicine made it clear that he did not support the use of herbs for profiteering, so whether it was Gerteng or Garth City, or Keane, although the income of the herb business was not low, it was not considered a windfall profit.

More than money, the herb business brings them more connections and prestige.

These things are somewhat illusory, but many times they are more useful than money. For example, when a big businessman wants to choose a partner, money is not so important to him, but reputation, character and social relations are the things he values most.

In addition to these two main businesses, of course, Gelteng Ling also has a lot of side businesses, which are mainly concentrated in the handicraft industry, especially some small industrial products, which looks like the "Yiwu small commodities" that Sui Xiong often heard about before he crossed.

It's also interesting to say that there is also a small wholesale market for goods in Geltenling. Sui Xiong had never been to Yiwu, so he didn't know what the famous small commodity market in the country looked like, but looking at the small commodity market in Gelteng, he couldn't help but think of this kind of market in his hometown.

The small commodity market in his hometown is called "Merchants City", although it is called attracting investment, in fact, it is some small self-employed people doing business. There are a wide variety of things, from daily necessities to various foods, to clothes, shoes, socks, toys and miscellaneous goods, as long as they are not too large, you can buy almost everything here.

Sui Xiong used to go shopping at the beginning, one was convenient, most of the things had to be sold, and the other was cheap, at least 20 percent cheaper than street stores.

The small commodity market in Gelteng is similar, and many merchants who do wholesale business come here through the portal, which is also comprehensive and cheap.

Needless to say, a key factor in the former is transportation.

In this world, the cost of transportation is high because of underdeveloped transportation. Even if it is a stool, transported to a remote area, it can be sold for the money of a large bed. The portal system laid by Sui Xiong greatly reduced the cost of transportation. Although it costs money to use a portal, it is more inclined to use this method than long-distance transportation, whether it is the savings of money, or the savings of manpower and time.

Not to mention anything else, if you use the portal to transport, at least you can have a large amount of bodyguard fees left!

Of course, it is certainly not cost-effective to use a portal to transport large or heavy things - for example, large furniture, ore, etc., which must not be transported through a portal. But small commodities or something, it's quite suitable.

In fact, the most suitable for transporting with portals are all kinds of luxury goods, so Void City is the most important luxury trading market in the main plane of the world today, where you can buy anything extravagant and precious - except for those immoral.

Sui Xiong still grasped the issue of "immorality" very tightly, and the Northwest Republic not only did not allow the slave trade and the trade of living materials, but also banned narcotic drugs and so on. This is almost a high-voltage line, and many people have been executed for such reasons.

But that's all off topic, at least it has nothing to do with Gelten, because that kind of business is also forbidden here.

Sui Xiongfei was flying above the Gelteng Ling Small Commodities Market, smiling and watching. He is not proficient in business, but he can see that most of the people here are quite lucky, if you use the term of a novel he read before the crossing of a web author who talks about luck all day long, it is that these people have stable luck, even if they can't be rich, at least they have a stable and good life.

The country is rich and the people are strong, the people are safe and the country is safe, and Gelten has such an economic income, and people's living standards are naturally good. Sui Xiong flew all the way here, and he never saw the hungry people he encountered when he first passed by here, and all he saw were well-dressed people with red faces.

And he also noticed that the younger generation of Gelten was significantly taller than their parents.

This is the credit of Orianne Gerten, who once heard that "people can be much taller than they are when they are well nourished", and she took it to heart. After the territory became rich, one of her important measures was to strengthen livestock breeding, mainly raising cattle, sheep and pigs, which can produce milk, and pigs are the most important source of meat. If these things are raised by the people themselves, the cost will often be very high, but the lord will take the lead in centralized breeding, and the cost can be reduced a lot.

Soon after the pastures stabilized, milk and meat began to be produced, and the Gelten Collar officially subsidized such products, so the lords could buy them at a relatively low price. Coupled with the constant official propaganda that "sufficient nutrition is the only way to have a healthy body", ordinary people are also willing to spend money in this area.

The end result is that the new generation of lords of the Gerten Territory are indeed tall and strong, and they don't look like people from the Gold Federation, but like barbarians on the northern ice fields.

One of them is tall and big, but he is polite in his words and deeds, this wonderful combination is full of comedy, Sui Xiong looks at it and laughs, and he is very happy. (To be continued.) )
