1228. The Merchant Group

In the summer season, the beautiful city of Ruyt, a century-old mountain town, is almost surrounded by green seedlings

Although it has been baptized by several wars, it still stands on the single peak of the Ruit Mountains in the northern region of Talapakant

Although the city wall of Ban Bar records the vicissitudes of history, it also shows that after several wars, it has not undergone several major repair projects.

Surdak walked in the shade of the city walls, and Malacomb and a group of merchants from the White Forest Plane embraced Surdak.

"The city has a long history, and the buildings here are full of Tarapakant culture, and the gateway to the Gampo plane of Ruyt City is also the only way to get to the Gampu plane. So if anyone needs to run a business here, it can be said that it is also a good choice. Thea walked ahead of the crowd and introduced the city of Ruit to the merchants of the White Forest Plane

Malacombe not only expanded his merchant group nearly doubled this time, but also brought seven merchant groups of the White Forest Plane, the bosses of these merchant groups usually have a good personal relationship with Malacombe, they heard that Malacombe saw some business opportunities in Ruyt City, so they followed Malacombe here to make money,

That's why Surdak was willing to take the time to wander around the city of Ruyt with these merchants.

Malacombe followed Surdak, and this time the Thunderrhino caravan he brought with him would take away the demolition area of the three dismantled iron mills and load boxes of goods onto the shelves.

In the evening, these thunderbolts will leave the city of Ruyt according to the special route.

These Thunderrhinos will be on standby outside the city, and will only return to the White Forest Plane when all the shelves that need Thunderrhinos are fully filled

This time, according to Surdak's last request, Malacomb brought countless Bailin specialties, of course, these goods were not only Malacom's alone, but he and seven other merchant groups jointly raised these materials.

The caravans set up camp in a manor house owned by Surdak outside the city, which was clinging to the southern walls of Ruyt, and the vast quantities of supplies were almost covered with bitter cloths, and the goods were stacked on top of each other like hills.

A few of the co-operatives whispered in the back, observing the city inwardly and even less prosperous than Wilkes, with its ancient walls and uneven stone roads, its walls covered with moss and ivy, its crowded neighborhoods, its streets filled with children who couldn't even wear their pants, and many of the buildings topped with tattered wooden houses.

"How are the sales of those goods you brought these days?"

Surdak walked over to a dwelling and asked Malacom.

When he looked up, he just saw several nobles coming out of the dirty alley and quickly boarding a magic caravan, which then quickly turned around and left at the street corner not far away.

Malacombe also watched this scene silently, and then he turned his head and said to Surdak with a smile:

"Cloth and copper and iron utensils are very popular here, and almost all of them are purchased in large quantities by local merchants, and the prices offered are a little higher than we expected."

"It's just that some of the porcelain I brought is not selling very well, and those who can afford porcelain are local nobles, and obviously there is no shortage of fine porcelain in their homes at present."

"However, the southern specialty of the Bailin Plane is very popular, and we should bring more of it."

"Overall, the profit from this trade is still very considerable, even without the freight of the furnace, you can still make a profit."

Several merchants were also willing to go to Ruyt to make money, simply because Malacomb had a good personal relationship with Surdak, and they would not worry about someone misappropriating their goods here

For businessmen, even if a certain trade is bought at the same price and sold at the same price, at most it is a loss of some wages and travel expenses, and it is completely affordable for them to lose a little money.

Their biggest fear is that the goods will be embezzled, and sometimes such things will often make the merchants bankrupt

The trade route opened up by the merchants does not actually refer to the road under their feet, but the relationship they have opened up along the way, so that the goods can reach the destination safely and can be sold very smoothly.

In Bena province, there is no shortage of business opportunities anywhere, and the geographical disparity makes the price of many products vary greatly, and merchants rely on the transfer of these goods to make a profit.

For merchants, it is more important to obtain the protection of local magnates, so that their business can go smoothly.

If Surdak wants to revitalize the economy of Ruyt, he naturally can't count on the local nobles, and he hopes that more merchant groups can come to Ruyt City to trade.

Surdak led the group out of the alley near the city wall, stopped at the mouth of the alley and said:

"You are willing to come to Ruit City to do business, I don't guarantee that all of you will make money, it will require you

Personal vision, strength and luck, but what I can guarantee is that your rights and interests in Ruyt City can be fully guaranteed, and you will not be oppressed and exploited by local forces. ”

The merchants who had followed Surdak around the city had a relaxed look on their faces when they heard Surdak say this.

One of the merchants boldly stepped forward and asked loudly, "Lord Suldak, are there any restrictions on Ruyt City for the business of the merchant group?"

Surdak thought for a moment before saying, "The slave trade is forbidden here, and there are no other restrictions in Ruyt City for the time being!"

When the group of businessmen heard Surdak make such a promise, their private conversation became even more lively.

After seeing off Malacom's group of merchants, Surdak turned and returned to the foot of the wall, where Luke and Charlie were waiting.

Surdak put his hands on Luke and Charley's arms and asked them both, "Have you checked the damage to the walls in this area?"

Luke nodded and took the initiative to say, "Well, the city walls in this area are very badly damaged, and it does take a lot of effort to repair them......

"Are you interested in taking this project down?" Surdak continued,

"Duck, will we have a bad impact on you if we follow you everywhere?" Charlie asked, a little worried.

Surdak waved his hand and said: "Of course not, I hope you will do these things, and I also hope that you can help me figure out the specific cost, every year Ruyt has to invest a lot of maintenance costs, but it doesn't seem to be very effective."

"Next, I will issue a written report according to the damage to the ground you have inspected, and submit it to the logistics department, this matter does not need to be too urgent, and only need to rest on the steps and the ground on the city wall in advance."

"Got it......" Charlie breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Surdak say this......
