Chapter 153 Changes in the Roentgen Chamber of Commerce
"Welcome Miss Charlene."
In the city mansion, Geweier and Jialan received the caravan from afar. A warm charcoal fire was burning in the living room, and several people sat on the sofa nearby in an irregular circle.
"Hello, Lord Gweir." This businesswoman who had traveled a long way sat on the soft sofa and seemed to be relieved.
"Because I received a letter from a friend, I brought a lot of things that the territory needs this time." After taking a sip from the teacup, the businesswoman calmed down a little and began to talk slowly.
"There are some grains, metal tools, seeds, ropes, cloth and the like." As she spoke, she asked the attendant behind her to bring a list and hand it over.
Geweier and Jialan looked at it, nodded from time to time, and then put down their hands.
"I'd like to trouble Miss Charlene and the Roentgen Chamber of Commerce."
"It's not too troublesome. After all, as a businessman, you will go wherever there is business." Miss Charlene smiled and waved her hand, indicating that there was no need to be so polite.
"Now, at least there will be nothing missing in the first half of the year." Jia Lan said a few words with emotion.
"As for the reward, the territory will pay half of the amount first, and the remaining part will be paid in the form of goods in the summer."
"Well, I understand. I already said it in the letter before. But I still have to sign a contract." After saying that, Miss Charlene also took out the contract paper she had prepared in advance. On the light-colored patterned paper page, she wrote
with clear regulations and agreements.
After some negotiation and discussion, the contract was stamped with the seals and spiritual imprints of both parties. Finally, a faint light emitted, and a new pattern was derived to cover up the writing, so that it could not be changed in the future.
After finishing these business matters, Gweir invited Miss Charlene to have dinner.
"Okay, we need a good rest too."
After that, Miss Charlene temporarily returned to the caravan station, and soon the unknown knight came here and walked in.
In the tent at the station, Charlene looked at Mecia, who was Lorraine Hill, who had taken off her helmet, and circled her several times in surprise and curiosity.
"What's wrong?" Lorraine Hill felt a little embarrassed.
"It's nothing, I'm just surprised. Think about it, after more than two months of not seeing each other, a cute girl has become a cold and powerful heroic knight. It is said that she even fought with the empire's legionary cavalry. This is already
That's not a bold word to describe it."
After finishing speaking, Miss Charlene took a closer look at Lorraine Hill's armor.
"It feels very masculine, not as good-looking as before." She leaned down, put her fingers on her chin, and touched the cold and solid dark gold armor with her other hand.
"Mecia's silver armor was so cute before." She seemed a little dissatisfied, feeling that this girl didn't make good use of her appearance at all.
"But that would be very troublesome." Lorraine Hill shook his head helplessly.
The previous silver armor was not a full-coverage armor, but an armor that focused on protection. It was divided into breastplate, shoulder armor, skirt armor, gauntlets, boots, etc. In some details, the girl
The slender waist and beautiful figure are revealed, which is indeed more flexible and beautiful, but from the perspective of concealment, it is not as good as this full-coverage armor.
"Actually, actually..." Lorraine Hill hesitated whether to say that Jialan was also her, as this would avoid a lot of trouble.
"Okay, I do understand Mecia's thoughts. The South is not stable now." Charlene sat down and began to talk about her recent experience.
"Shortly after you left, major events occurred in the Red Heart Province. The descendants of the Baskar family returned. Many local nobles and officials quickly turned against them. Then the empire's legions began to reinforce and began to attack He.
fighting."
"Has the Roentgen Chamber of Commerce been affected?" Lorraine Hill asked worriedly.
"Under the influence, my father asked us to go to various places with many people and assets, saying that eggs cannot be put in the same basket."
"The current Roentgen Chamber of Commerce has actually been divided into several parts. My two brothers took away most of it, leaving only a small part for me."
"But to say that I am sad is not that bad. I am not weak to this point yet. In fact, I feel very relaxed because I am now independent and I no longer have to be governed by my father and brothers."
Miss Charlene waved the silk folding fan in her hand and talked about the dramatic changes in the past two months.
Because of the war and the unrest in the Chixin Province, which is the headquarters of the chamber of commerce, the president, Miss Charlene's father, divided the assets under his name and sent several children to develop in various provincial branches.
"Actually, there are many chambers of commerce that do this. Now many large chambers of commerce are aware of the crisis and are beginning to consider options."
"Some are currying favor with the high-ranking officials of the Imperial Legion, some are contacting the remaining fiefdom nobles in the south, and some are simply moving their assets to the center of the empire, where it will be more stable."
...
"You said going abroad? There are very few of them, because businessmen, without strong power and with too much money, are like fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered. And they are outsiders, so it is difficult to get fair treatment."
....
"Crancia? I don't know much about that country, but it looks very strong. After all, it has defeated the empire in the war over the years. Maybe I will consider visiting it in the future."
Compared with later generations, there are no newspapers and telegraph networks today, and a lot of news is not smooth. Even after the war ended nearly a year or two, many people in the empire still don’t understand the country to the west. More people’s impressions still remain in Xuehua
In the era of the Seven Kingdoms, they thought that there was not as rich and prosperous as the empire.
The only ones that everyone knows relatively well are probably the alchemists of Lurna. After all, many changes in the empire in recent years are related to these new technologies.
The installation of muskets, the popularity of various alchemical tools among the nobles, and the rumored secret weapon of Clanscia's victory over the Empire are all related to these.
After the meeting with Charlene, Lorraine Hill put on the heavy and simple armor again and returned to the room.
Returning to Jia Lan's identity, Lorraine Hill was lying on the soft bed, looking at the ceiling.
I feel a little tired recently. As expected, managing the territory is actually a hard job. There is no reliable system to assist now, so you have to do it yourself.
Find some help.
Thinking like this, the girl pulled up the quilt, got into the warm bed, and prepared to have a good sleep.
Close your eyes and temporarily filter out some candidates in your mind. Of course, you can't transfer those students from Clancy now. This could easily lead to interfering in other countries' internal affairs and leave problems left over from history.
But starting from scratch feels a bit unnecessary.
This is just like playing a game. You have to work hard to level up, but if you don’t use it, you will feel a little frustrated.
Thoughts were running through her mind, and the girl turned around in bed again and continued to think.
I don’t know if the agreement at that time included the Carites Chamber of Commerce under Lacey’s name. After all, this chamber of commerce also has many overseas industries. Those branch members of the Southern Islands do not belong to Crancia and may be transferred to the empire.
to assist.
But this seems to be a suspicion of cheating, and Lorraine Hill is a good boy and doesn't like cheating.
Forget it, let’s ask Tidais. I believe this smart senior always has many tricks up his sleeve.
Slowly, the night gradually deepened, and some stars appeared in the sky outside the window, twinkling, and the quiet night spread in the small town.
