The three hundred and seventieth chapter galloping road (10)

Danica chuckled, shook her head, and said, "Don't say that, now you are leading the Druids."

"I have not……"

"At least that's what your teacher means." Danica raised her tone and said, "At least your teacher hopes that you and Lin Ona can lead the Druid Sect, otherwise you wouldn't have participated in the trial of Kenster, and you wouldn't have the current status."

Tyran fell silent, and in front of Danica, she always had nothing to say.

Danica didn't say anything else, picked up the cup on the coffee table and drank the boiled white water. But then again, the tea grown by the Druids is also very good. Tyran has also given her some, why can only drink boiled water when she gets here?

The silence lasted for five or six minutes before Tyran sighed and said, "You must have figured out a solution, right?"

Danica said: "You, me, and Phyllis, we are good friends. If you expand a little bit, Lucia and Elizabeth are also allies with trust bases. We should help each other. For example, this time, we can help you first."

"What are you going to do?"

Danica said: "I will contact Lucia to increase the military deployment at the junction of the Druids and the Beasts, which will put you more pressure; at the same time, Philis will prompt the Elf Royal Court to reconsider its relationship with the Druids; Elizabeth, the Holy See of the Holy See, will ask the Druids to lower the price of exported food on the grounds that many natural disasters have occurred in the human race; at the same time, as a must-pass place for the Druids' foreign trade, especially for the human race, the Gemini Kingdom will consider increasing taxes on transit food trade."

Tyran looked at Danica in surprise and asked, "What do you want to do?"

Danica smiled and said, "I want those elders who have decaying heads to know that only you can solve the difficulties encountered by the Druids, and only you can lead the Druids to a better future, and what they should do the most is to stay aside and watch."

Tyran lowered her head, thought for a while and said, "Can you convince Lucia?" Among these people, Phyllis and Elizabeth were just making a statement. They didn't need to, and they couldn't push the decisions that Danica said, but Lucia was different. On the one hand, she was at a critical moment to consolidate her position in the orc regime, and in addition, the cooperation she had to do was the greatest in terms of strength. She didn't believe that Lucia could take such a great political risk for herself.

"It depends first on whether you agree with the arrangement." Danica said confidently, "If you agree, I will find a way to convince Lucia."

Tyran said with a wry smile: "You really gave me a problem, my friend."

"But it is also the best way to solve your plight."

In response, Tyran agreed: "Indeed, this is one of the solutions to the dilemma, and it has distinct characteristics."

"What's the characteristic?" Danica asked curiously.

"Your characteristics...how can I think of a suitable adjective for a while, but if the "old friends" we fought in Kenster noticed this operation, we would definitely guess that this plan was come up with." Tyran said honestly.

"Is that?" Danica thought for a while and asked, "Why me? When we were in Kenster, all the plans we made here were Phyllis."

Taylan recalled and said, "But she is not as extreme as you, the extreme of her pursuit of interests."

"Okay." Danica also gave up on her defense, "I have already thought of the solution for you, but it depends on you what to do. You don't have to make a decision. Anyway, there is no hurry to do this."

"Including the batch of food you want?" Tailan said with a smile.

"Including that batch of grain." Unexpectedly, Danica nodded and said, "There are still some reserved grains in the warehouse of Twin Cities that can be used for a while."

"Okay." Tailan stood up and asked, "I guess you're going to stay here for a few days. Are you planning to live? I'm still the one at the Aishi Chamber of Commerce?"

Danica also stood up and said, "I'd better go back. You'll probably be very busy lately, so I won't disturb you."

Although I may not be very busy, and even if I am busy, it will not affect Danica's living here, Tyran did not force me: "Okay, then I won't leave any guests."

Although the Aishi Chamber of Commerce is an important, even the most important trading partner of the Druid Sect, the office in Rees Town is very small, and the small shop is not in the center of the town, but is located in the southwest corner of the town, and is close to the suburbs.

Danica had never been to Reese Town, but Ai Xue had told her this address before. After coming out of Tyran, Danica slowly walked through Reese Town and came to the shop called "Ai Xueliangxing".

The store has two floors, and when you walk in, it’s an ordinary small shop. The only special thing is that the shelves behind the counter are empty and there is nothing.

The Aishi Chamber of Commerce in Rees Town is doing bulk crop trading business, which does not involve retail, so this store is just a signboard. If you are interested in doing business with the Aishi Chamber of Commerce, you can come here to negotiate, but it does not sell things directly.

Behind the counter, a guy from the Aixe Chamber of Commerce was sitting there bored, and from time to time he glanced at the girl sitting in the hospitality area. She seemed to be subordinate to the Guards, but she didn't look like those rough soldiers at all, and she felt so beautiful.

At this stage, the main activity areas of the Guards are still limited to Twin Cities, so these members of the Aixe Chamber of Commerce who have been stationed outside do not know the horror of the "crow".

After Danica walked into the shop, the guard maid quickly stood up and greeted, "Master."

Danica looked at the furnishings in the store and asked, "Where is Ai Xue?"

The guard maid replied: "Miss Aishi checks the recent bill in the study behind."

Danica nodded and walked straight to the backyard.

Someone should have informed me that when Danica walked into the living room of the two-story building behind, Ai Xue came over and asked, "Master, are you looking for me?"

Since she had seen Ai Xue, Danica did not go to the study again. She sat on the sofa and asked, "Tell me about trade with the beasts."

Ai Xue looked around and waved her hand, and asked the maids serving beside her to go down first, then said: "The transaction volume between us and the Beast Clan, mainly Lucy, is increasing year by year, and the overall development momentum is not bad." Danica did not ask specifically, and she could only answer so roughly.

Danica asked: "If we trade with the Beast, what do we mainly sell and what are we buying?"

Ai Xue replied: "There are two main bulk goods we bought from the beast tribe: one is various wool and leather. Wool and leather goods are high-end clothing raw materials, and they are also widely used in the manufacturing of arms. They can be made directly into leather armor or as the lining of armor; the other is horses. The horse farm we jointly opened with Lucia can now supply war horses. In addition, another bulk goods, meat, has also developed rapidly. Lucia can provide us with more than 2,000 tons of various meats every year, mainly beef and mutton, and the number is still increasing year by year."

After pausing, Ai Xue continued: "The main ones we sell on the grassland are iron, cotton and linen products and salt, which are all lacking in the grassland."

“No food?”

Aishue explained: "The beast tribe does lack food, but they mainly trade with the Druids and do not pass through us." After all, the human tribe's own food is basically digested internally and rarely exported to foreign tribes. The only one who can produce large quantities of food in the entire Katic continent is the Druids.

Danica leaned against the sofa, tapped her fingers gently on the handrail, and asked, "What is the share of imported goods between our transactions with the Beast?"

Ai Xue also searched for her memory. She thought about it before saying: "We have the smallest share in iron tools, because to the west of the Beast Clan is the Northwest Mountains. Iron tools are originally the bulk export goods of dwarves. We only account for about 10% of the share in this regard. Cotton and linen products are slightly better, but we face many competitors, accounting for 30% of the market share. In our transactions with the Beast Clan, salt has the largest market share, which can be more than 50%. In this world, the development of lake salt and well salt is not developed, mainly sea salt, and most of the sea salt comes from the southern coastal areas. The former headquarters of the Ai Xue Chamber of Commerce was in the city of Melens in the southern coastal areas, and it has close relationship with that area. Even the Ai Xue Chamber of Commerce itself has several salt fields in the southern coastal areas.

Because Danica has never done business, she doesn't know how terrifying the market share this is. As the third-ranked powerful force in the entire continent, the Aishi Chamber of Commerce is already very powerful. Relying on the relationship between Danica and Lucya, the Aishi Chamber of Commerce has grown into an extremely large chamber of commerce, which can be compared with the largest Mike Chamber of Commerce in the southern coastal areas. Of course, the Aishi Chamber of Commerce is still incomparable to earn gold coins, because she also bears the financial expenditure of the entire Gemini Kingdom. She had to build the Twin Cities before, but now she needs to build the Chidao, which requires massive material investment. The Aishi Chamber of Commerce faces losses every year.

50%...Danika first considered that salt, iron and cotton and linen products had a large number of competitors, only salt was the dominant one. The Aishi Chamber of Commerce mainly traded with Lucia, which means that Lucia also controlled the supply of 50% of the entire orc tribe. In a pure commercial environment, for example, the southern coastal areas, controlling 50% of a certain kind of essential products will have great power and will arouse absolute vigilance from others. But there is no commercial environment in other parts of the world. Except for the southern coastal areas, the absolute "hard currency" in this world is not gold coins, but power. If Lucia dares to do something arbitrary, she will not survive the next day, so even if she controls 50% of the supply of salt, she can only bully the wolf clan who has lost power.

At this time, Danica realized that things were not as bad as she thought, or as beautiful as she thought. Even if she had occupied so much market share, it would be too reluctant for her to use this to influence the politics of the orcs.

Power, the most important thing in the world is power, followed by materials, and gold coins can only be ranked behind. But the trouble is that there is no material production in the Gemini Kingdom now. The current Gemini City is mainly a commercial city. You can only get gold coins by relying on trade, and gold coins often do not play a big role.

Danica asked to herself a little, "It seems that there is nothing produced in our Gemini Kingdom?"

Aishi said strangely: "Why do you say that? The Gemini Kingdom also produces grain, and there are still many coal mines in the central region."

"Coal Mine?" asked Danica.

Ai Xue nodded and said, "Yes, the Ai Xue Chamber of Commerce has explored several large coal mines, just south of Twin Cities, but the land now does not belong to us."

"Is it north of Enris?"

"Yes, it's about a hundred kilometers away from Twin Cities."

"That's good, that land will belong to us." Danica became in a good mood. The land she occupied was still a little mineral, so she had a little more chips in her hands.

"But the benefits brought by the coal mine are not very large." Seeing Danica smiling, Aishi reminded, "Those things can only be used to burn, but in fact, it's enough to burn wood directly most of the time."

"Can't it be used for metallurgy?" Danica's good mood seemed to be unable to be saved. "The burning of wood cannot reach the furnace temperature required for steel forging, right?"

"But the central region does not produce iron ore!" Ai Xue was a little annoyed when she said this. Without iron ore, only coal mines would be useless! How good would it be if it was like the Kingdom of Solomon, it would be to produce both iron ore and coal mines!

No, I remember that the coal mine should have other uses. Danica thought hard, but this point seemed to exist in her memory in her previous life, and that memory was already very fragmented.

"The coal mine... should be able to provide...it can provide power, yes, power!" After thinking for a while, Danica finally captured a little information from her broken memory. "You arrange it and see how you can make good use of coal mine resources in the central region. I remember that those things can provide power."

"Oh, OK." Although Danica's request was a bit strange - since she remembered that something could provide power, why didn't she tell herself how to provide it, and she had to study it again - but Aishi still agreed, but there was another question, "But even if it could provide power?" Power? Power cannot be eaten.
