Half of the commercial prosperity of the Kingdom of Austro-Hungary came from the contribution of sea trade. Most of the domestic chambers of commerce owned a large number of merchant ships and transported goods through sea ships, saving a lot of transportation costs.
For the newly established Red Dragon Principality, if it wants to develop its business quickly, in addition to the accumulation of time, transportation tools are also a big help.
Sea-going ships are now the most common means of transportation in the Scarlet Continent in terms of commercial transportation, in addition to the main tool of land carriages. However, the construction of sea-going ships is very difficult and their structures are very complex. There are only a few forces that can master the construction of sea-going ships.
.
According to Allen's understanding, on the Scarlet Continent, apart from the Kuroshio Kingdom and the Austro-Hungarian Kingdom in the east, which have the technology to make sea-going ships, only a few seaside human nations in the southwest of the continent have this technology to make sea-going ships.
As for the more powerful Charles Empire, it was unable to develop maritime trade because it was inland, so it did not master shipbuilding technology.
If Allen can successfully bring out the shipbuilder named Serkesa from the Austro-Hungarian Kingdom this time, then the Red Dragon Principality can rely on the Kuroshio Kingdom's shipbuilding technology to produce sea-going ships for use in the Red Dragon Principality's navy.
Ship trade.
Of course, in addition to ocean merchant ships, the production of blood-devouring warships as ocean warships has also entered the plan.
Therefore, there must be no mistakes in this operation, otherwise we don't know how long it will take to find a suitable shipbuilder again, Allen secretly warned himself.
…
As the sails on the sea-going ship slowly lowered, the ship gradually sailed towards a huge port. The port was bustling with activity, and sea-going ships docked here and sailed away one after another.
"Your Majesty the Duke! The fleet has docked at the sailing port of the Principality of Bru! It will not set off again until tomorrow." In the room on the ship, Barton said to Allen.
"Then let's go down and take a look!" Allen said with interest after hearing this.
Naturally, the Bloodstone Merchant Guild's fleet does not only pass through the ports of the Red Dragon Principality. The neighboring country of the Red Dragon Principality, the Blue Principality, is also one of its business cooperation partners.
The reason why the fleet has to stay here for one night this time is that in addition to purchasing some goods, it will also carry a group of traders from the Principality of Bru to the Kingdom of Austria-Hungary just like it did at Blue Water Port.
Ten days have passed since Allen boarded the ship. The long and boring ocean voyage and the bumps and shakes at every moment make it unbearable for people who have not had many years of sea voyage experience.
Most traders only occasionally ride on sea ships, so they cannot be compared with sailors who have been sailing at sea for many years and have adapted to life at sea.
It just so happened that this time the ship docked at the sailing port, a large number of merchants on the ship got off the ship to rest. Some went to have fun, while others disembarked for a change of taste. Although food was always provided on the ship, it was not comparable to that on land. Allen also decided
Get off the boat, take some fresh air, and taste the delicacies of the Principality of Bru.
The scale of Sail Port was larger than that of Blue Water Port. After Allen got off the boat, before he had taken a few steps, a middle-aged man with simple clothes and a dark face came over.
"Haha! Sir, do you need some guidance? I'm Mida. I've been staying in Sail Harbor all year round. Whether it's a tavern, a hotel, a market or... hehe, I know everything about it!" The thin black man said.
Mida smiled obscenely and showed a "you know" look.
Then Allen threw two silver deer to Mida and asked him to take the two of them to the best tavern in Sail Harbor.
Although taverns on the mainland are famous for being dirty and messy, it is not that there are no high-end taverns. However, such taverns generally have high consumption, and the corresponding groups are wealthy businessmen, nobles or high-level mercenaries, which are relatively small groups.
Therefore, this kind of tavern is rare and only appears in ports where wealthy merchants gather or in cities like the capital city.
Passing through the wharf where people and goods come and go, Allen followed Mida to a market. In addition to shops selling various sea fish, the market also sells specialties from several countries such as the Principality of Red Dragon and the Kingdom of Austro-Hungary.
People were coming and going, and bargaining was extremely lively.
Following Milda's twists and turns, Allen finally saw what Milda said about the most luxurious and expensive tavern in Sail Port - the Sail Tavern.
The Sail Tavern has a total of three floors. It is tall and gorgeous. The exterior is made of hard boulders of the same size and with patterns. Each floor uses a large number of flower windows, and a large number of flowers are planted on the balcony.
At this time, there were all gorgeously dressed businessmen and a few impressive mercenaries coming in and out of the Sail Tavern. As for the civilians, except for a few servants who were busy coming in and out, naturally no one was seen. This shows that the consumption inside
Definitely not low.
"This master! This is the most famous tavern in our Sail Port - the Sail Tavern!" Milda bent down and said with a smile. Milda felt happy at this time, and was glad that he had met a man this time.
A wealthy businessman who was generous with his money sold two silver deer. This time he earned as much as his previous month's income.
"Yeah!" Allen nodded slightly and walked towards the inside, with Mida and Barton immediately following behind.
As soon as Allen approached, a servant from the tavern came to greet Allen and took Allen to the second floor of the tavern to sit down. Looking around, Allen found some merchants who were on the same boat as him eating.
After taking the menu from the well-dressed tavern servant, Allen read it carefully.
"Red fish soup, steamed hairtail, apple pie...roasted chicken, roasted cardinal..."
Looking at the menu, Allen murmured in a low voice, and then chose a few dishes that he had never tasted before and were unique to the Principality of Bru, as well as a few bottles of fruit wine.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
After a while, dense footsteps came from the stairs, which caught Allen's attention.
He curiously looked in the direction of the sound, and a trace of surprise suddenly flashed in his eyes. The person who came up was Allen, who was very familiar with him. It was the Vis Chamber of Commerce Steward Romac who ordered his guards to take action on the ship. How could he?
His four guards.
However, at this time, the steward Romac had a gloomy face, his face was so gloomy that water could drip from his face, and the swelling in his mouth had not disappeared, which was very obvious.
The men behind him seemed to be in even worse condition than Romac. Both sides of their mouths were swollen and they walked crookedly. It looked like they were seriously injured.
Has this guy been released? Allen thought in surprise, but after thinking about it, he was beaten severely by Captain Nales. However, although Romank's behavior on the merchant ship broke the rules of the Bloodstone Chamber of Commerce, he was not worthy of death.
, Captain Rice was probably also worried about the Weiss Chamber of Commerce, and after punishing him, he let him go.
"Get out of my way!" Romack looked gloomy and with cruel eyes, he knocked down a businessman who was blocking the way and sat down next to Allen.
