It was also because of this incident that Allen discovered that the development of business in the territory was very slow. Allen had been focusing on the management of the territory in the past, but had somewhat neglected the importance of business. Now the entire Musen Territory only has the original Qinghuang people.
The leading caravan is under the management of Allen. As for the other caravans in Musen Leader, they were all established by the wealthy businessmen themselves.
The Qinghuang Territory's caravan is very small in scale and only conducts some small-scale trade with other baronies on both sides of the Qinghuang Territory. It is embarrassingly useless.
At this point, Allen thought it was time to regulate the territory's caravans and commercial trade regulations, and on this basis, form a Musen Territory caravan.
In order to solve this problem, Allen, who returned to Musen City, specially summoned Andy's father Lear, who was the former captain of Qinghuang's caravan. He had been engaged in commerce and trade for more than ten years and had rich experience.
Although Lear and Andy are father and son, they are very different in appearance. Andy is tall and thin, has sharp eyes, and looks a bit delicate, while Lear looks short and fat, with dark red skin, and is very unattractive.
"Lord Viscount!" Lear said to Allen.
"Well! Captain Lear, how many years have you been working in the caravan?" Allen asked.
"I'm telling you, Lord Viscount! Lear joined the caravan at the age of twenty-five. It's been 19 years now!" Lear thought for a moment and said with a hint of recollection.
"Tell me what you know about the various caravans in Musen Territory?" Allen asked.
"yes!"
"Musen Territory also had many caravans in the past. For example, each baron had its own caravan. Like the original Qinghuang caravan, it was not large in scale, but it was basically disbanded in the recent war! Apart from these,
There are only four major caravans left in Musen City! However, one of them is a caravan controlled by the former Viscount Musen family. After the death of Viscount Bernard, the caravans naturally disbanded. Now the main caravans in Musen City are
There are three caravans!" Lear paused and then continued.
"They are the White Pine Caravan, the Mutuan Caravan and the Feiye Caravan. They were established by wealthy businessmen Samo, Ram and Tilis respectively. The members of the three caravans are all over a hundred."
"The White Pine Caravan specializes in the timber business and makes profits by selling valuable timber from the Black Dragon Mountains to wood traders from afar. The Mutuan Caravan is engaged in the fur business, and the Feiye Caravan is engaged in the precious gem trade.
." Lear explained.
"Gem trade? It seems that Musen Territory does not have gem mines, right?" Allen, the trading partner of the other two caravans, can still understand, but this Feiye Caravan is engaged in gem business, but if I remember correctly, Musen Territory
There are no gem mines.
Gems in this world are very precious, and gems are just a general term. According to Allen's understanding, there are several categories, such as diamonds, crystals, colored gemstones, jade, etc. They are very similar to Allen's previous life, but they are also different.
Although these gems are of high value and look extremely beautiful, this is not the reason for nobles to pursue them.
In addition to their ornamental value, the gems in this world also have unexpected value, and that is elemental gems.
Elemental gems are basically produced in gem mines by chance. They contain elemental power that ordinary gems do not have. They are extremely rare, and often not even one gem mine can produce one.
Elemental gems look very similar to elemental crystals, but the only difference between them is that this difference makes the value of elemental gems much higher than the price of elemental crystals, and that is the resilience.
After the elements contained in it are used up, they can be restored by absorbing elements from the outside, but elemental crystals cannot.
Elemental gems can be distinguished by color to identify the elements they contain, for example:
Ruby contains the element of fire, sapphire contains the element of water, topaz contains the element of earth, and gold gemstones contain the element of gold...
Amethyst contains the element of thunder, red crystal contains the element of fire, green crystal contains the element of wood...
Red diamonds contain the element of fire, yellow diamonds contain the element of earth...
It is precisely because of the discovery of elemental gems that people created elemental weapons. People embedded elemental gems on utensils and used the elements in the elemental gems to reduce their own elemental consumption.
Of course, Allen's ancestral gem sword is not inlaid with elemental gems.
However, elemental gems can only be discovered by those above knights. It is impossible for a caravan like Feiye Caravan to have people with knight strength.
"Lord Viscount! This Flying Leaf Caravan is mainly engaged in the business of jade among gemstones. Although we do not have gem mines in Musen Territory, there may be gem mines in the Black Dragon Mountains. Every year, many miners dig out gemstones in the Black Dragon Mountains.
One or two pieces of good-quality jadeite rough, the most important thing for Feiye Caravan is to purchase the jadeite rough found from the Black Dragon Mountains from these Musen collar miners, and use the rough stone to open a small stone gambling shop in Twilight City!
"Lear is relatively clear about the trade of the Flying Leaf Caravan.
Compared with other gemstones, jadeite is a little strange, that is, it is basically hidden in the stone skin. As long as the stone's skin is not broken, it is difficult to find it. You can only judge by the skin that it is likely to contain jadeite.
Because of this characteristic of jadeite, a stone gambling craze started among the nobles. If you buy a rough stone at a relatively expensive price, you can make a lot of money once you open it and it is in good condition. If you can get a purple stone that contains the element of thunder,
Jade, etc., that would be a huge profit.
Thinking of this, Allen finally understood the trading principles of the Flying Leaf Caravan.
"I'm going to build a workshop. The workshop is specially used to make a product called mosquito repellent incense. The raw materials for this mosquito repellent incense require a caravan. I want you to set up this caravan. You are the caravan captain. I will also hand over the workshop.
What do you think about being managed by you?" Allen asked seriously.
"Thank you, Lord Viscount! Lear will do his best and not let Lord Viscount down!" Lear looked excited after hearing this. Originally, after Lord Viscount captured the entire Musen Territory, his Qinghuang caravan was in Musen.
He was no longer so conspicuous in the territory. He originally thought that the Viscount had given up on him, but he didn't expect that the Viscount would entrust him with an important task. He was really flattered!
After Lear, who was grateful for his gratitude, left, Allen summoned Cooley from the Finance Department. Cooley has always been a professional since he entered the Finance Department. In addition, Butler Carey is old, and now the entire Finance Department is in trouble.
The management is basically handed over to Cooley. After a while, Butler Carey will step down and give up the position of director to Cooley. In the words of Butler Carey, he no longer has the energy of a young man and cannot
If he is no longer qualified for the position of Director of the Finance Department, he might as well come back and be the steward of the castle for Allen.
Allen agreed to Butler Kaili's proposal. Firstly, he considered that Butler Kaili could really rest because Cooley was there. On the other hand, Musen Castle today really needed a capable butler. In the past, there was Li in Qinghuang Castle.
Mrs. Sa took care of everything, but now it's completely different in Musenburg.
