Lord: Start with the Pioneer Knight
Chapter 54: Opening up the trade route (I) First stop
"feasible."
Baird thought for a while and answered immediately.
In fact, he prefers the 82 ratio for storage, but since his superior has made it clear, as a subordinate, it is not easy to refute.
Besides, storing an extra layer of supplies also provides an extra layer of protection, so there is no loss.
"That's it, I'll leave it to you to plan the general warehouse in the castle. In addition, you have to be responsible for the construction of the Lake of Prayer for Stars. I'm busy with official duties, so I won't keep you here."
"Yes, Lord."
As quickly as he came, he left as quickly as he came. In less than ten minutes, Baird left the hall.
At this moment, a guard entered the hall, knelt down on one knee, and reported respectfully: "My lord, Sir Knight Raimundo asks to see you."
"Let him in."
Verin, who was about to leave, immediately sat down again and gave instructions to the soldiers.
Not long after, a young man wearing brown linen clothes entered the hall and leaned down to salute. Weilin was stunned for a moment.
"Raimondo, you...why are you dressed like this."
Raimundo looked at his own attire and immediately replied: "My lord, your wealth should not be exposed. As a businessman, the first thing to do is to keep a low profile, so as to avoid becoming a fat sheep of other forces."
"You're right." Weilin covered his forehead and replied.
As a noble, his thinking has not changed yet, so he feels strange.
Raimondo then began to report on his work.
"My lord, this time we are going on a trade trip, ten carriages will pull the goods, and two carriages will carry the living supplies needed by the caravan. Therefore, the cargo that can be carried is twelve tons. I choose two tons of finely processed mineral salt, and two tons of rough-processed mineral salt. Six tons, and the remaining cargo consisted of three hundred and twenty animal skins, one hundred and twenty folding chairs, and six thousand pounds of jicama.”
"Go down and get ready and leave early tomorrow morning."
"yes."
After Raimundo left, Verin looked at his clothes and immediately asked his servant to fetch a piece of linen clothing.
…
On the muddy road in Cadro Province, among Raimundo's caravan, Verin sat bored on the roof of a carriage, looking at the desolate scenes along the way.
"There are still more than twenty kilometers away from the first location, Grosvenor Barony."
Looking at the markings on the roadside, Verin took out the map of Cardro Province from his arms and looked at the six places outlined on it, which were the six relatively prosperous aristocratic territories that the trade route passed through.
"Try to complete it within two months." After putting away the map, Weilin lay on the roof of the car, looked at the gloomy sky, and muttered to himself.
The development of trade routes this time is not just about simply following a planned trade route, but also includes visiting local nobles, getting to know each other, communicating, and establishing personal relationships.
More than an hour later, a small city appeared in front of everyone.
At the entrance of the city gate, hundreds of civilians and businessmen were queuing up, waiting to enter the city.
The Grosvenor Barony is led by the Grosvenor family. It is a small family that was founded less than a hundred years ago and has lasted for three generations. The only territory the family owns is this 3,000 square kilometers of land.
Thanks to its strategic location and location on a major transportation thoroughfare, it is a relatively prosperous trading town in the surrounding area. Seven or eight noble families and many pioneering lords from the surrounding area will come here to conduct transactions.
After inspection, the caravan successfully entered the small town.
As soon as he entered the city, the stench that assaulted his nostrils made Weilin cover his mouth and nose.
Garbage, urine and faeces are dumped haphazardly on the streets.
"Sir, do you need shoes?" A small vendor ran to the caravan holding several pairs of high heels and sold them carefully.
When Raimundo heard the other party's words, he subconsciously looked at Welin who was sitting on the roof of the car.
"You are the caravan leader and you make your own decisions."
"yes."
Raimondo turned to look at the vendor and asked, "How much does a pair cost?"
Seeing that there was business, the vendor said respectfully: "Sir, these high heels can prevent you from stepping on the filth in the city. A pair only costs five copper coins."
After thinking about it, Raimundo took out a silver coin from his pocket and gave it to the vendor.
"I want all the shoes in your hands, and with the remaining money, I can hire you as a tour guide for a few days. Are you willing?"
"Yes, yes, sir, yes, little one."
The vendor took the silver coins, put them in the inner pocket of his clothes, handed all ten pairs of high heels to the caravan guard next to him, and quickly assumed the role of tour guide.
"Sir, my name is Tom. Please give me your orders."
"Take us to the area where the carriages are parked first." Raimondo thought for a while and decided to find a place for the caravan to stay, and then went to hand over greeting cards to the nobles here.
As for the sale of goods, if you establish a connection with the nobles here, you won't be afraid of not being able to sell them.
"Please come with me, my lord."
Later, the caravan followed Tom, a local merchant, to the place where the caravan was specifically stationed.
After all the equipment was ready, Raimundo recruited a caravan guard.
"Take this letter and the family crest and follow Tom to deliver a greeting to Baron Grosvenor here."
"Yes, sir."
The caravan guard took 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, Duke, the current patriarch of the Grosvenor family and the second son of Baron Grosvenor, was shirtless, waving the knight's sword in his hand, practicing his skills.
"The Bronze Knight is an intermediate level, I don't know when I can break through to the high level."
My own talent is limited and I can only make up for it through hard work.
When he stopped training and prepared to take a break, the castle's steward came in and reported: "Master, a noble sent someone to hand in a visiting card. It is one of the families that the master asked us to focus on."
Duke stopped and turned around to ask: "Yes, that family."
"It is the Ex family. It should be the pioneer knight on the nearby border." The steward answered truthfully.
"Take the visiting card and go to the main castle outside the city to inform my father."
"Yes, Master."
After the steward left, Duke wiped the sweat off his body while ordering the servants to start cleaning up and arranging the venue, and also asked someone to sniff out information.
Soon, a knight attendant rode a fast horse and headed towards the castle 20 kilometers north of the town.
As night approached, a middle-aged man with a majestic aura and several guards came to the town of Grosvenor overnight.
"Father."
At the entrance of the castle, Duke, wearing a silk robe, bowed and saluted.
"Duke, how is the situation?"
Faced with his father's inquiry, Duke recounted the information he had investigated in just three hours during the day.
"Father, the other party is stationed in Xicheng District and will visit at ten o'clock tomorrow morning. In addition, the goods of their caravan include..."
After listening, the middle-aged man nodded with satisfaction.
"You did a good job. Now all those spies have been withdrawn."
"Yes, father."
