Chapter 304: News (I)

The kingdom of Delanya, Port Serid, the time is pushed forward by three days

Port Said is a new city with a very short history. The city is full of life thanks to the excellent port, which is lined with dense docks where ships come and go, mooring, loading and unloading goods.

And tens of thousands of workers are busy on the docks, there can be no cranes in this world, workers push small cars in and out of the boat, the gangplanks are wide and long, and many people are pointing.

Near the wharf, spacious warehouses were built everywhere, and wine, silk, blankets, glass, and grain were traded rapidly.

In addition to this, there are also fishing boats, they fish, a large number of fresh fish and shrimp are transported to the market in the city, as well as small stalls, for most ordinary citizens, these fish and shrimp are the staple food of open meat, and ordinary housewives will go to ask.

Besides. Most of them, it's still a shrine, the shrine of the goddess of commerce, Yahahime.

No, the temple opened, and a man in a carriage went down from the temple square, wearing a long, tight-fitting coat, and went straight inside.

Inside, a low-ranking priest of the temple greeted him: "Hello, what do you want?"

The man just took out a wallet from his pocket, took out a piece of paper folded in two from it, and handed it to the priest in a respectful manner: "Look at it, is it indeed a certificate of Her Highness the Goddess? Is it indeed 20,000 gold coins in it?"

The priest looked at it, nodded, and touched it with his hand, and the symbol "gold coin with wings" faintly appeared on the piece of paper, which was the mark of the goddess of commerce, Yahahime, which proved that the bill of exchange was genuine, and as soon as he touched it, the priest felt a string of numbers.

"It's true, twenty thousand standard gold coins!" replied the priest.

"Then take it out!"

The pastor replied according to the procedure: "One percent fee for one deposit, are you sure?"

"Yes, sure!" Although two hundred gold coins are really distressing, they are much cheaper than the price of money changers.

It is obviously inconvenient for merchants to carry a large amount of currency in business, and one is that it is bulky. One is that it is not safe.

In addition, the wide variety of currencies in various countries makes currency exchange indispensable.

Currency exchange became a lucrative enterprise, and the operation of currency exchange had to be approved by the local lord and pay a certain rent to the lord, so that the concession of these people was semi-official.

Generally speaking, the exchanger has to deduct 10% of the handling fee, which is much more expensive.

The priest stretched out his hand and walked to a small altar, and a little light came from his hand, and in a moment a small door of light appeared in the air, and with a loud noise, the gold coins poured down and fell on the altar.

Nineteen thousand nine hundred gold coins, flashing with golden light, immediately made the man's eyes light up.

On each gold coin, there is the mark of the goddess of commerce, Yahahime, who said that since three hundred years ago, the goddess invented the system of remote access space, as well as the standard gold coin. Her influence quickly expanded.

The so-called remote access space system means that you deposit gold or silver in a specially opened space in the goddess's kingdom, and then the local priest will open a bill of exchange to prove how much silver and gold you have deposited.

When traveling, you can take this money exchange ticket with you, and as long as there is a shrine and priest in any place, you can withdraw the same amount of gold or silver (of course, there is a fee), and you can also set a password!

This greatly enhances business contacts, and I believe that no guy dares to cross the distance between planes and rob the kingdom of God frantically.

Of course, most of the people who can use it are rich people, and those who exceed 1,000 gold coins will only be charged 10/10, but those who are less than 1,000 will be charged a handling fee of 50 gold coins.

As for gold and silver coins, they are even more miraculous, and a large amount of gold and silver are deposited in the space of the gods, and there is a god's invoker who processes them into a standard currency with a gold content of 99, and there is no fraud.

The strange thing is that except for the goddess of commerce, Yahahime, other gods, even the Lord of Radiance, have no way to exchange materials between the kingdom of God and the world on a large scale.

The man didn't count, he believed in the credibility of the temple, he looked at it, and said, "Deposit 10,000 yuan into my account!" ”

"Access once. One percent of the fee, are you sure?" said the pastor, and with a wave of his hand, a probationary pastor and a guard stepped forward to count and pack the boxes.

"Sure!"

In a flash of gold, half of the gold coin disappeared again, and the priest began to write the money order, and when he was done, he prayed silently, and as a result, the symbol "gold coin with wings" appeared on the money order, which marked God's approval and the legitimacy of the money order.

At this time, the remaining gold coins had been loaded, and the four guards carried the boxes and followed them out.

When they reached the door, the man ordered the carriage to go straight to the merchants, and after a few moments the messengers ran to the docks.

"Come on, come on, everyone, work hard! Hurry up and pack these goods, they will be shipped today, but you must not make a mistake! Over there, you guys are light. Those boxes are full of red wine, and every bottle is priceless, and if it is damaged, it is not worth selling you! Also, people here, you should hurry up! The goods in your hands are clothes, don't be afraid of falling, don't be light-hearted, you will be blocked when you look at it!" After receiving the order, a middle-aged man who looked like a steward stood in front of a warehouse. Loudly reminded everyone to be careful of yards.

Several warrior-looking people, each with a whip in their hands, patrolled one warehouse after another.

At the same time, dozens of migrant workers are laboriously moving goods out of the warehouse one by one.

These goods are packed in boxes, which are square and square, which is conducive to stacking

There wasn't much time, and the prepared trolley was already full.

But almost at the same time, the newly arrived trolley was ready to be loaded again.

"Master Warehouse Manager, this batch of goods has been carried out, has it been counted?" At this time, a young steward in charge of the operation of the goods came over from the side, and he bowed to the warehouse steward with some humility and asked.

"Let's take count!"

"Yes!" the young steward immediately gave the order, and then a group of people stepped forward to count the goods with the bills.

"It's not a lot, but it's heavy. Seeing that the migrant workers were struggling to carry the boxes in, the warehouse manager stood at the door of the warehouse and asked the young freight manager next to him, "What is this batch of goods?"

"A small amount of food is food, and most of it is weapons. The freight manager did not hide it and answered directly.

"Weapons?" Seeing the migrant workers constantly moving goods in, the warehouse manager said with some concern: "Although our merchants are walking the way of underground operation, you also know that the situation in the kingdom is ...... now."

He was naturally referring to the struggle for thrones within the kingdom.

Now, although the kingdom of Delanya, where they are located, seems to be calm and unaffected by the evil plague, in fact, there is a strong smell of gunpowder, and at this time, he does not want his business house to be involved in a political whirlpool.

"Don't worry, this shipment is destined for other kingdoms, and that old patron is not from our Delanya Kingdom. The freight steward said with a smile.

At this time, the warehouse manager finally breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't want to work for most of his life, because a little profit was at such a sensitive time, something went wrong.

"That's fine. When will this shipment be shipped?"

"Immediately, in the afternoon, a cargo ship from our trading house will arrive over there, and the goods will be transported there. Calculate the date, and the guys will be back in a week, just in time for the New Year!" said the freight steward with a smile.

"What about the condition of the goods, are there any other goods that need to be used in the warehouse?" Knowing that the manager in charge of the operation of the goods would not come up to speak inexplicably, this warehouse manager would have this question.

"Three days later, another batch of cargo ships came over, and another batch of goods was coming, I heard that it was an old customer who asked for goods by name, so you see, can you vacate two warehouses at the dock?"

"This ...... Which old customer wants the goods? Will it be possible to push it back by one day?" The warehouse manager rubbed his forehead with his hand, and motioned to the other party to look at the new car that was already very full: "You have also seen that there are a lot of goods in this batch, and the other party is also a person who cannot be provoked, if you delay this business, I am afraid that there will be problems." ”

"Master Warehouse Manager, this old customer is a good friend of the boss of our firm, and this batch of goods was facilitated by him......" The young steward's words are very clear, and this side is definitely not something that we people can offend.

"Alright then, we need two warehouses, right? I'll try to squeeze this shipment as much as I can. The warehouse manager sighed and said.

The young freight steward exhaled softly and hurriedly went on to other things.

The warehouse manager hurriedly called more than a dozen migrant workers and asked them to quickly squeeze in and make better use of the warehouse.

At this time, the inventory was also completed, and it was found that there was no mistake or omission of the goods, and a large number of migrant workers pushed the cart towards the wharf, and when they arrived at the wharf, they began to load and unload.

By about two o'clock in the afternoon, it was all done, and the ship did not hesitate and immediately gave the order to set sail.

Going to sea is a dangerous job, because pirates are always haunting their fixed routes, so every delivery is a brush with death.

However, just some time ago, the kingdom's navy seems to have reached some agreement with the pirates, and it is much safer.

The wind was also on the road, three days later

"Captain, the docks are almost here!" said a fellow standing on the deck, facing the bitter cold wind, looking into the distance, and he finally discovered the shoreline, and cheered loudly.

"Really, let me see?" The captain was a man in his thirties, strong and agile, and he jumped to the deck, looked into the distance a few times, and finally showed a smile on his serious face.

"The destination is almost here! I have completed this mission, and I will go back for the New Year!" he said, turning around, to the men on the ship.

The crowd responded in unison, and then, with the wind blowing the sails, soon the ship was brought to shore.

Meanwhile, on the coast, the day after the town was occupied, Romon and Nick came with soldiers, both of whom stood on the wall and looked into the distance, while the two stood in the open space beside the wall, talking.

"Romong, this shipment should be almost there, right?" asked Nick as he picked up something in his notebook without looking up.

"Well, if you count the days, it should be today, but if they encounter something at sea, then the date may be pushed back. Romon thought for a moment and said.

"I hope this batch of goods will arrive in time, if it arrives in time for the New Year, the salary of a migrant worker will be doubled, and there will be a lot of unnecessary costs. Nick calculated the cost, and then, not very satisfied.

Luo Meng knew that the other party, as an internal affairs officer, was under a lot of pressure, so he patted the other party's shoulder lightly and smiled: "There are a lot of gold coins and jewels seized from the pirates, right?

"Well, I have already calculated it myself, but the discount is 11,654 pieces, which is indeed a huge amount of money, I really didn't expect that these pirates would have such a big fortune. Nick bit the tip of the pen with some sigh: "However, there are also a lot of places to use money in the territory, the batch of weapons you just ordered, each of them, this money will use up almost half of the windfall, and you have purchased a new batch of war horses, and here will all be demolished and rebuilt, and a huge amount of money must be prepared, and this money will be saved." ”

"Hehe, with you, I don't worry. Romon smiled.

At that moment, lightning suddenly chirped in the sky, and Romon said, "Hey, they're coming." ”

Sure enough, a moment later.

"The ship is coming, the ship is coming!" The people on the watchtower were sharp-eyed, and when they found the ships on the sea, they shouted, and suddenly the people on the shore became excited.

"Romon, is the cargo ship coming?" Nick heard the shout, too, and walked over to the wall, looking out to sea, and sure enough, two large ships were sailing towards it.

"Sure enough, it seems that we can save an extra amount of money. With that, Nick picked up his pen and made a few strokes on his notebook. Probably this extra manpower expense was crossed out, and Luo Meng was a little embarrassed when he saw it.

As soon as the merchant ships arrived on the coast, the men of the merchant house of the kingdom of Delanya soon met with Romon and the trade began after both sides had identified each other.

On Romong's side, Romon himself and a few of his cronies came to the ship in person, inspected the cargo, and when they found that there was nothing wrong, they began to unload it downward.

"Nick, I'm looking here, it's too cold, you go inside and sit down. Romon said.

"What about you?"

"I'll come as soon as I go, it's too cold. ”

"Okay!" Nick also felt the need to stay here and turned away.

The unloading people were all the men of the merchant house who came down from the ship, and they carried boxes of goods to the warehouse designated by Luo Meng, in fact, the warehouse was connected to two rooms, and one of them was empty.

Outside, the men of the merchant house who came down from the ship continued to unload the goods, and after all the goods were piled up, they counted the goods, and when they saw that there was no mistake, they delivered.

Romon signed, added a number to the food item, and then smiled.

Because these people from the trading house were in a hurry to go home for the New Year, after completing the transaction, they didn't even stay for a short time, and just got on the boat and left.

Watching the big ship leave, Ramon rubbed his chin and went back, handing the list to Nick.

Nick looked at the order and said, "Well, we purchased so much food this time, hey, why is the price of food so cheap?"

"This is my harvest at the manor, and the grain I got from the nearby lords by virtue of my connections is cheaper!" said Romon, "and there may not be more than this next time." ”

"Manor, in the manor of the Delanya Kingdom, it looks like the harvest is good!By the way, Romong, when you go to see it, there must be a suitable person to manage it!"

"That's not necessary, the person who is managing now is the elderly, which is more appropriate. Romon said.

"That's right, but, if you have a second son and three sons, you can let him inherit this manor and title, although it is said that the eldest son inherits and does not divide the territory easily, but you are the first generation of barons, you can still be more tolerant, you don't have to let your second son and third son, there is nothing!" Nick said wordy, and he digressed to this.

Romon was a little amused and said, "This is too far, let's talk about it then!"

"It's not far away, if you decide to divide it, then wait for the child to be born, and then divide it, so as to save disputes and troubles in the future. "Nick has read a lot of books and understands this very well.

"Well, let's talk about it then!" Luo Meng waved his hand: "I'll transport the things in the warehouse to the car later." ”

"Why don't you just get on the bus and turn around in the warehouse. ”

"This is the system, so as not to make mistakes in the future, if everyone doesn't go through the warehouse, if you don't go through the procedures, then who knows what will go wrong in the future?" Romon said.

This time, I came not only to buy weapons, but also to launder the grain in Shennongjiao, after all, it doesn't make any sense to stay in Shennongjiao, it's not cost-effective to buy, but this passage also makes sense.

Nick didn't doubt it, and said with a smile: "Yes, it's better to go through the procedure, even if it's more cumbersome, by the way, it would be nice if there was grain at this price next time, with this batch of grain, our reserves will be more abundant, by the way, what about Sukal and them?"

"I'm going to the city to pull people, let's go!"

Saying that, with a group of cronies and migrant workers in the territory, the goods were transported to the carriage in turn, and the migrant workers stayed, as the object of migration, and the construction will start two days later, after the New Year.

As for the soldiers they brought, they escorted the goods back with the lord.
