Chapter 304 News(1/3)
The Kingdom of Terranya, Port Serid, time is expected to be reached in the first three days
The Port of Sered is an emerging city with a very short history. The excellent port makes the city full of vitality, with dense marinas arranged, with ships coming and going, mooring, and loading and unloading goods on the marinas.
Tens of thousands of workers are busy on the docks. There is no crane in this world. Workers push carts into and out of the ships, and the springboard is wide and long, and many people are guiding them.
Behind the pier, spacious warehouses are built everywhere, wine, silk, blankets, glass, and grain are all quickly traded.
In addition to this, there are also fishing boats. They fish and transport a large number of fresh fish and shrimp to the markets and stalls in the city. For most ordinary citizens, these fish and shrimp are the staple foods for meat, and ordinary housewives will go and care about it.
In addition, the most are the temple, the temple of the business goddess Miyaki.
Just now, the temple opened, and a man in a carriage went down from the Temple Square. The man was wearing a tight coat and went straight inside.
When I got inside, a low-level priest from the temple greeted me: "Hello, what are your requirements?"
The man just took out a wallet from his pocket, pulled out a piece of paper folded into two stacks, and handed it to the priest with a respectful attitude: "Look! Is it indeed the certificate of His Highness the Goddess? Is there really twenty thousand gold coins inside?"
The pastor looked at it, nodded, touched it with his hand, and the symbol "Winged Gold Coins" appeared on the paper. This was the mark of the business goddess Miyeji, which proved that the bill of exchange was true. As soon as he came into contact, the pastor felt a string of numbers.
"It's true, 20,000 standard gold coins!" the pastor replied.
"Then take it out!"
The pastor answered according to the procedure: "Distribution and withdrawal, one percent of the handling fee, are you sure?"
"Yes, sure!" Although the 200 gold coins are really distressing, they are much cheaper than the price of currency exchangers.
It is obviously inconvenient for merchants to carry a large amount of money in business, one is that it is bulky and the other is that it is unsafe.
Moreover, there are many types of currencies in various countries, making currency exchange indispensable.
Exchange of currency has become a profitable business. The operation of currency exchange must be approved by the local lord and a certain rent of the lord is paid. Therefore, these people have a semi-official nature to obtain the franchise.
Generally speaking, the exchanger will deduct 10% of the handling fee, which is much more expensive.
The priest stretched out his hand and walked to a small altar. A little light came out of his hand. After a moment, a small light gate appeared in the air. With a sound of sound, the gold coins poured down and landed on the altar.
Ten thousand nine hundred gold coins, flashing with golden light, immediately illuminating the man's eyes.
Each gold coin has the mark of the business goddess Miyeji. By the way, since the goddess invented the system of relocation and standard gold coins three hundred years ago, her influence has expanded rapidly.
The so-called remote storage and access space system means that you store gold or silver in a space specially opened in the Goddess Kingdom, and then the local priest will open a bill of exchange to prove how much silver and gold you have indeed deposited.
When traveling, you can just bring this bill of exchange. As long as there is a goddess temple and a priest in any place, you can withdraw an equal amount of gold or silver (of course, there is a handling fee), and you can also set up a password!
This greatly enhances business communication. I believe no one dares to cross the distance between planes and rob the Kingdom of God crazy.
Of course, most of the people who can use it are rich, and only one tenth of those who exceed 1,000 gold coins are charged, but only fifty gold coins are charged for those who are less than 1,000 gold coins.
As for gold and silver coins, they are also a stroke of God. A large amount of gold and silver are deposited into God's space, and God's prayers are used to process them into standard currency with a gold content of 99%, and they will never be cheated.
Strangely, except for the business goddess Miyeji, other gods, even the Lord of Glory, cannot communicate materials between the Kingdom of God and the world on a large scale.
This man did not count it. He believed in the reputation of the temple. He looked and said, "Do you deposit ten thousand into my account! Please collect the others for me and put them in the cash box. I will hire 6 hours of guards."
"After deposit and withdrawal, one percent of the handling fee, are you sure?" the pastor said according to the procedure, and with a wave of his hand, an intern pastor and guard came forward to count and pack the boxes.
"Sure!"
A golden light flashed, and half of the gold coins disappeared again. The pastor began to write a bill of exchange. After finishing writing, he prayed silently. As a result, the symbol "gold coins with wings" appeared on the bill of exchange again, which marked God's recognition and also marked the legality of the bill of exchange.
At this time, the remaining gold coins were already loaded, and the four guards carried the boxes and followed them out.
When he arrived outside the door, the man ordered the carriage to go straight to several stores. After a while, several messengers rushed to the dock.
"Come on, everyone, work harder! Put all these goods in place quickly and you will be shipped today, but you must not make any mistakes! Then, be gentle, those boxes are filled with red wine, and every bottle is worthless. If it is broken, it is not worth selling you! Also, people here, hurry up! The goods in your hands are clothes, don't be afraid of falling, don't be careless, you will be upset if you look at them!" After receiving the order, a middle-aged man who looks like a manager stood in front of a warehouse, loudly reminding everyone to be careful of the goods.
Several soldiers-like people were all carrying whips in their hands, patrolling each warehouse and warehouse.
At the same time, dozens of migrant workers are working hard to move the goods out of the warehouse one by one.
These goods are packed in boxes, square and straight, which is convenient for placing
There was not much time, and the car I prepared was already full of place.
But almost at the same time, the newly shipped car was ready to be loaded again.
"Sir Warehouse Manager, this batch of goods has been transported out. Have you counted it?" At this time, a young manager in charge of the cargo operation came over from the side. He humbly bowed to the warehouse manager and asked.
"Calculate!"
"Yes!" The young manager immediately issued an order, and then a group of people came forward to take the bill and count the goods.
"There are not many things, but the weight is quite heavy." Seeing the migrant workers carrying boxes in a little hard, the warehouse manager stood at the door of the warehouse and asked the young freight manager next to him: "What is this batch of goods?"
"The small amount is food, most of it is weapons." The freight manager did not hide it and answered directly.
"Weapons?" Seeing the migrant workers constantly transporting goods in, the warehouse manager said with some concern: "Although our business is following the path of underground operations, you also know the situation in the kingdom now..."
He naturally refers to the battle for the throne in the kingdom.
Now, although the Kingdom of Delanya where they are still in still looks calm and not suffering from demonic disasters, in fact, it has a strong smell of gunpowder. At this time, he does not want his business to be caught in a political vortex.
"Don't worry, this batch of goods is transported to other kingdoms, and that old customer is not from our Delanya Kingdom." The freight manager said with a smile.
Now, the warehouse manager finally breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want to work for most of his life, because a little profit would be at such a sensitive time.
"That's good, when will this shipment be shipped?"
"Immediately, in the afternoon, our business will have a cargo ship there and just shipped the cargo. Calculate the date, and the guys will be able to come back in a week, and they all happen to be able to celebrate the New Year!" The freight manager said with a smile.
"How is the situation of the goods? Do other goods need to be used in the warehouse?" Knowing that the manager responsible for the operation of the goods will not speak inexplicably, this warehouse manager asked this question.
"Three days later, another batch of cargo ships came, and another batch of cargo was coming. I heard that it was the goods ordered by an old customer. So, see, can you free up two rooms in the dock warehouse?" The freight manager rubbed his hands with a pleading expression.
"This... is the goods that the old customer wants? Will it be possible to push them for a day?" The warehouse manager rubbed his forehead with his hands and signaled the other party to see the newly arrived cart that was already full: "You have also seen that there are a lot of goods and the other party can't afford to offend people. If this business is delayed, there may be problems."
"Mr. Warehouse Manager, this old customer is a good friend of our business owner, and this batch of goods was even more facilitated by him..." The young manager understood the words of this party, and this party was definitely not something we can offend.
"Okay, you need two warehouses, right? I will try to squeeze this batch of goods as much as possible." The warehouse manager sighed.
The young freight manager then let out a light sigh and hurried to do other things.
The warehouse manager quickly called out more than a dozen migrant workers, asking them to squeeze in quickly and make better use of the warehouse.
At this time, the inventory was completed and I found that there was no mistake in the goods. At the order, a large number of migrant workers pushed the cart towards the dock, and when they arrived at the dock, they started loading and unloading.
It was around 2 pm and everything was completed. The ship immediately issued an order to set sail without hesitation.
Going to sea is a dangerous job, because pirates always appear frequently on their fixed route, so every time they deliver goods, they miss each time they pass by.
However, just a while ago, the Kingdom Navy seemed to have reached some agreement with the pirates, which is much safer.
The wind is on the road, three days later
"Captain, the pier is coming soon!" A guy stood on the deck, looking into the distance in the cold wind, and finally discovered the coastline, so he cheered loudly.
"Really? Let me see?" The captain was a middle-aged man in his thirties. He was strong and very agile. He jumped onto the deck and looked into the distance for a few times. He finally smiled with a serious face.
"The destination is coming soon! I have completed this mission and go back for the New Year!" Turning around, he said loudly to the guys on the boat.
Everyone responded in unison, and then the wind blew the sails and soon, the cargo ship was delivered to the shore.
At the same time, on the coast, the day after occupying the town, Romon and Nick came again with the soldiers. The soldiers stood on the wall and looked into the distance, while the two stood on the open space beside the wall and talked.
"Romon, this batch of goods should be coming soon, right?" Nick asked without raising his head while holding something in his pen.
"Well, counting the day, it should be today. However, if they encounter something at sea, then the date may be pushed back." Romon thought for a moment.
"I hope this batch of goods can arrive in time. If it arrives in the New Year, the salary of a migrant worker will be overturned, which will add a lot of unnecessary costs." Nick calculated the cost, and then said unsatisfiedly.
Romon knew that the other party was under great pressure as an insulator, so he gently patted the other party on the shoulder and smiled: "There are a lot of gold coins and jewelry seized from the pirates? Will it relieve a lot of financial pressure?"
"Well, I have calculated it myself, but the discount is 11,654 pieces, which is indeed a huge sum of money. I didn't expect that these pirates would have such a great fortune." Nick sighed and bit the pen: "However, there are many places to use money in the territory. Each of the weapons you just ordered is medium and high-quality. This sum of money almost used half of the unexpected money. In addition, you have purchased a new batch of war horses, and you have to demolish and rebuilt them all, and you have to prepare a large amount of money. After counting this money, you have to save some money."
"Haha, I'll be relieved if you are here." Romon smiled.
At this moment, lightning suddenly whispered in the sky, and Romon said, "Hey, they are here."
Sure enough, after a moment.
"The boat is here! The boat is here!" The people on the lookout tower saw the ships on the sea and shouted. Suddenly, everyone on the shore became excited.
"Romon, is it the cargo ship here?" Nick also heard the shouts, walked to the wall, and looked out to the sea. Sure enough, two large ships were sailing towards this place.
"It's true. It seems that you can save an extra expense." As he said that, Nick picked up the pen and made a few strokes on the notebook. Perhaps crossed out this extra human expense, which made Romon aside feel ashamed.
After the merchant's cargo ship arrived on the coast, the merchants from the Delanya Kingdom soon met with Romon's side. After both parties confirmed the other's identity, the trade began.
On the side of Romon, Romon himself and several trusted soldiers came to the ship in person, checked the goods, and after finding that there was no problem, he began to unload the goods downward.
"Nick, I'm looking here. It's too cold. Go and sit in it." Romon said.
"And you?"
"I'll come when I go, it's too cold."
"Okay!" Nick also felt that there was no need to stay here and turned around and left.
The unloaders were all businessmen from the merchants who came off the ship. They transported boxes of goods to the warehouse designated by Romon. In fact, the warehouse was connected with two rooms, and one inside was empty. Seeing that there was no one around, Romon just used his intention, he saw that the bags containing food fell one by one out of thin air, and soon, the inner room was filled.
Outside, the merchants who came off the ship continued to unload the goods. After they were all piled up, they counted the goods and saw that there was no mistake, they delivered them. Since Romon was there, the delivery order was from Romon.
Romon signed the letter, added a number to the item of food, and then laughed.
