The big contest is over.

Bran gave prizes to the winners of the three prizes.

Among them, Wallace, who won the spear competition.

Bran admired him and let him stay in the exterior rooms of the High Court Palace to be treated by the best doctors.

Finally, the physician examined and found that Wallace had no disabling injuries and only needed a lot of recuperation.

Bran then met with the diplomats who came to Milan despite Howard and Zoe's objections.

They were also invited to join the Hanseatic program.

From the beginning of the lords and nobles to express doubts, now two years have passed.

The crowd has already tasted the benefits of scaling up.

Bran organized all the guilds, used the big guilds to train apprentices, established vocational schools, and increased the scale of the crafts.

Seven days after the competition, the Dragon Knight, the Black Prince and others all left Milan one after another.

And the people of Mirikawa are still missing.

The crowd persuaded Bran to issue a declaration of war against the people of Mirikawa.

"We have signed an alliance with the people of Trois-Rivières, and this time they are at the loss, and if we don't turn the other cheek, we can take the initiative."

Big Bear's arrogant performance this time offended many nobles, especially the destruction of the relationship with Vlad, so that the forces of the alliance between Mikawa and the Five Kings will be estranged.

Send the heads of the Athenian dead men, and tell them that the Great Bear had accidentally injured me in a moment of confusion in order to help me, and that I had made a marriage with Edwin. “

Bran didn't pursue it, and Milan's cooperation with the Trois-Rivières was as usual.

On the last day of the bazaar, the market was completely full, and the harbor was filled with merchant ships from the Mediterranean.

There were also many traveling merchants who traded by land.

Bran patrolled the territory with a few foreign envoys who had not yet left.

Dara Bomba is also there.

Bran wanted gold and copper mines from West Africa, as well as other precious materials such as ivory, rhinoceros skins, buffalo horns, etc.

Bran even wanted to send students or officials to see the kingdom in West Africa.

Walking on the streets, the Milan Grand Market brought considerable financial revenue to the territory.

Markets in other regions have curfews, are too small, and have a different range of goods.

After Bran ruled Venice, he sent troops to build a direct land and sea route to Venice.

Exchange, market town, big market, national bazaar.

The financial department under Bran's administration divided the scale of business into these four types.

Hilde and Simon came up with it.

Exchanges are ordinary barter, and most of them are located in sub-town strongholds.

Then there is the market town.

It's about the size of an ordinary city of 10,000 people.

In the past, there were 12 market towns in the country.

Market towns are the most common form of urban commerce, but Bran dislikes the lack of development.

The next level is the large market, itself in Venice, Rome, Paris, this special status and the most populous places will appear.

And this bazaar is the ultimate goal of the "commercial market order" of Bran's reform.

Venice is not yet in its own hands, and it has to exert more pressure to keep its commercial resources under Milan's control.

Since then, Bran has set up a large commercial area, where itinerant craftsmen, blacksmiths, merchants, etc., all do business.

The principality gave them commercial licenses and rented them shops at very low prices.

People from all walks of life, from theatrical actors, bards, physicians, clerks, etc., have also established a foothold in this business district.

These commercial districts, unlike the central commercial districts of other lords, do not have churches or churches.

There are only statues of the government office and the Charman family.

Bran also decreed that anyone who was willing to set up a stall here would not have to pay taxes in the first year, and sixty percent in the second year.

This time, all the merchants of Milan came, and it became a national market.

And there was no time limit, and it was later called the Hanseatic Bazaar.

Bran was very happy to see how successful the fair was.

That's a milestone.

As long as commerce is thriving enough, Bran will have more money to develop guns and buy off enemies.

"Listen, over there, over here, and far away, build me a warehouse, a big house, a hospital, a school, ......."

When watching the bazaar, Bran also found a problem, the inconsistency of currencies, resulting in the speed of transactions and inconvenience.

Many merchants who come here need to hand over the guarantee, or pledge the goods, or use the barter to complete the transaction.

In front of a wine merchant, Bran looked at the Frankish merchant and took out his national currency to trade the ruble for Milan.

However, due to the exchange rate exchange, a dispute arose.

This is the time to test his men, and Bran asks, "How do you solve it?"

"Unified currency, stipulating which currencies can only be traded, merchants must accept these prescribed legal tender, and our country will set up a bank to carry out lending and financing business here, and merchants can exchange with us after receiving legal tender."

Hilde replied quickly, and Bran nodded in satisfaction.

Since then, with the promotion of the Hanseatic bazaar, various intermediary guarantors and commercial lending activities have been generated.

It also derives from various transaction laws.

Commercial lending, on the other hand, challenges the Shariah of Light by prohibiting the greed of others from borrowing money.

The accountability of the clergy aroused opposition from the crowd.

Subsequently, more people began to challenge the obviously inhuman provisions of the dogma, and also promoted the renewal of the doctrine.

As Bran passed by a spice shop, he asked, "There seem to be too few spice vendors?" It's something everybody loves. ”

"Your Highness, there is no way, there are only a few spices in the Mediterranean, and now that the Silk Road has been closed due to war, the spices that can reach our Milan are very expensive, not to mention our northern neighbors and western allies."

"From Byzantium?"

"In the same situation, since the death of the giant, the lords of the east side of the purple chamber have begun to fight together, and the luxury goods from the east this year are thirty percent more expensive than last year."

"We now control a lot of territory and find ways to carry out the agricultural aspect.

And I'm going to ask you to set up a few exclusive profit routes.

The strength of the Hanseatic League now is the division of labor, our country imports copper and iron from the north, and the North Sea imports woolen wool and fish.

Export our silk, spices, gold and silver, and give it to you for two months, and then we will see the exclusive commercial route......"

Bran shuttled through the streetscape and was immersed in the exchange, when the voice of the singer came from the square.

This singer sings about the plants traded in the market, vanilla, thyme, sage, etc.

The tone is euphemistic and the lyrics are approachable.

Vanilla is a good thing in the hearts of the people of the time, which can be used to avoid plague and other diseases.

On a whim, Bran walked over.

The singer in the square was suddenly surrounded by a bunch of people and did not dare to sing anymore.

"Don't stop, you keep humming."

Bran's command forced the singer to keep humming.

The singer's voice was low, and the musicians on the side began to beat the beat.

Bran began to compose the lyrics and asked his men to join in, "The bazaar should have a piece of music that people can know as soon as they hear it, like the battle song of the Knights, or the music of the white dragon of the principality." ”

"Den den den ...... I'm coming from the Hanseatic bazaar. ”

"Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme."

At this time, there was a merchant selling herbs, pronouncing the well-known names of the four medicinal herbs.

These four things are medicinal herbs and are also used for consumption.

The plants were inserted suddenly, but not obtrusively, and Bran read them a few times, with great satisfaction. Because of this song, this businessman doesn't have to pay shop fees in this life.

"Say hello to a girl at the hotel on my behalf." The lustful Ambu pronounced this sentence, which sparked laughter.

"She used to be my love." Dandoro replied with this sentence, and the atmosphere was subtle.

"Tell her to make me a sackcloth garment." Heard came up with this sentence right away.

Bran continued to compose ballads with the crowd, which later became the exclusive song of the Hanseatic Bazaar.

Hundreds of years later, even though the country founded by Bran no longer exists, the Hanseatic bazaars are history.

But this song still gives people a sense of the clues of that era.

Good music has been sung for a hundred years and endured.

This song was brought out with foreign merchants, and in the bright world, and even in the land of the East, people knew that there was a Hanseatic bazaar.

It can buy almost everything in the known world.

In this era, Bran left more and more marks and symbols that belonged to him.

And that's where it begins.
