Chapter 54: On the First Stop of Pioneering the Commercial Road (1)
"这是可行的."
贝尔德想了想,立即回答道.
其实他更喜欢 82 比例来存储,但既然师傅已经说清楚了,作为下属,也不容易反驳.
此外,存放额外的用品层还提供了额外的保护层,并且不会有任何损失.
"就这样,我把城堡里的主仓库交给你来规划,我也会负责星辰湖的建设."我正忙着生意,所以不会留住你.
"是的,主."
它来得快去得也快,不到十分钟,贝尔德就离开了大厅.
就在这时,一名侍卫走进大厅,单膝跪地,恭敬地报告道:"大人,雷蒙多骑士大人请求见您.
"让他进来."
正要离开的维林立即再次坐下,命令士兵们.
不久之后,一个身穿棕色亚麻布的年轻人走进大厅,俯身敬礼,并看了维林一会儿.
"雷蒙多,你怎么...穿成这样?
雷蒙多看了看自己的衣服,立即回答说:"主啊,您的财富没有暴露.作为一个商人,首先需要做的就是保持低调,以免成为其他势力的肥羊.
"你说得对,"Velin 捂着额头回答.
身为贵族,心意还未改变,所以觉得很奇怪.
然后,雷蒙多开始汇报他的工作.
"主人,这一次,十辆马车将运送货物,两辆马车将运送商队所需的货物.因此,可以携带的货物是十二吨.下属选了两吨精制矿物盐,六吨粗加工矿物盐,剩下的货物是 320 张兽皮,120 把折叠椅和 6000 斤红薯.
"下去准备,明天一早走."
"是的."
雷蒙多走后,维林看了看他的衣服,立即让仆人拿来一件亚麻衣服.
On the muddy road in Cadero Province, among the Raimondo caravan, Velin sat on the roof of a carriage, looking at the desolate scene along the way.
"There are still more than 20 kilometers away from the first location, Baron Grosvenor."
Looking at the markings on the side of the road, Velin took out the map of Cadero Province from his arms and looked at the six places marked on it, which were the six relatively prosperous aristocratic territories that the trade route passed through this time.
"Try to finish it within two months." After putting away the map, Verlin lay on the roof of the car, looked at the gloomy sky and muttered to himself.
The opening up of trade routes this time involves not only simply taking the planned trade routes, but also visiting local nobles, getting to know each other, and establishing personal relationships.
After more than an hour, a small town appeared in front of everyone.
At the entrance to the city gate, hundreds of civilians and merchants were lining up, waiting to enter the city.
Baron Grosvenor, led by the Grosvenor family, is a small family that has been in existence for less than a hundred years and has gone through three generations. The only territory owned by the family is this 3,000 square kilometers of land.
Due to its advantageous geographical location, it was located in the main traffic road. It was a relatively prosperous trade town in the surrounding area. Seven or eight nobles and many pioneering lords would come here to conduct transactions.
After inspection, the caravan entered the small town smoothly.
As soon as he entered the city, the stench that hit his nose made Velin cover his mouth and nose.
Garbage, urine, and feces were dumped on the streets at will.
"Sir, do you need shoes?" A small vendor ran to the caravan with a few pairs of high heels in his arms, carefully selling them.
When Raimundo heard the other party's words, he subconsciously looked at Velin sitting on the roof of the car.
"You are the leader of the caravan, make your own decision."
"Yes."
Raimondo turned to look at the small vendor and asked, "How much is a pair?"
Seeing business, the peddler said respectfully, "My lord, these high heels can prevent you from stepping on the filth in the city. You only need five copper coins for a pair."
After some thought, Raimondo took out a silver coin from his pocket and gave it to the small trader.
"I'll take all the shoes in your hand. Would you like to hire you as a tour guide for a few days with the rest of the money?"
"Yes, yes, my lord, I am willing."
The peddler took the silver coin, put it in the pocket of his clothes, and handed over all ten pairs of high heels to the caravan guards next to him, and quickly took on the role of tour guide.
"Sir, the villain's name is Tom, please order."
"Take us to the area where the carriage is parked first." Raymond thought for a while and decided to find a place for the caravan first, and then go to hand over the invitation to the nobles here.
As for the sale of the goods, they are not afraid that they will not be able to sell them if they are connected with the nobles here.
"Lord, please follow me."
Afterwards, the caravan followed Tom, a local small trader, to the place where the caravan was specially stationed.
After all the equipment was ready, Raymond recruited a caravan guard.
"Take this letter and the family crest and follow Tom to present an invitation to Baron Grosvenor here."
"Yes, my lord."
The caravan guards received the letter and Jiahui, and followed the small merchant to the small castle in the city.
In the small castle in the center of the small town, the contemporary patriarch of the Grosvenor family, Duke, the second son of Baron Grosvenor, was naked, wielding the knight's longsword in his hand, exercising his skills.
"The bronze knight is mid-level, I don't know when he will break through to the high-level."
His talent is limited, and he can only make up for it through hard work.
When he stopped training and was ready to rest for a while, the castle's steward walked in and reported, "Young Master, a noble sent someone to submit an invitation. It's one of the few families that the master asked us to focus on."
Duke stopped, turned his head and asked, "Yes, that family."
"It's the Aix family, it should be the pioneering knight from the nearby border." The butler answered truthfully.
"Accept the invitation, and go to the main castle outside the city to inform my father."
"Yes, young master."
After the butler left, Duke wiped the sweat from his body and ordered the servants to start cleaning up the venue, and let people check the information.
Soon, a knight's attendant rode a fast horse towards the castle twenty kilometers north of the small town.
As the night approached, an imposing middle-aged man with several guards felt the small town of Grosvenor overnight.
"Father."
At the entrance to the castle, Duke, wearing a silk robe, bowed in salute.
"Duke, how is the situation?"
In the face of his father's inquiry, Duke recounted the information from the investigation in just three hours during the day.
"Father, the other party is stationed in Xicheng District and will come to visit at ten o'clock tomorrow morning. In addition, the goods of their caravan are..."
The middle-aged man nodded in satisfaction.
"You did a great job. Now you've cancelled all those spies."
"Yes, Father."
