Chapter 430. It's a big and beautiful train

(4) + daily life of merchants (1)

“It seems that other provinces are selling snow recently picked up in Pahilia and northern provinces.”

“???? Eyes?”

eye? Snow?

Are you talking about those white things you see outside the city?

It is a demon substance that soldiers really hate.

When I asked blankly, my uncle quietly nodded once.

“....and.”

I was in pure admiration this time.

“It’s so creative.”

I don't know if I've been secretly underestimating the merchants here.

However, I will have to revise that rating a bit.

To live and live and to think of selling with eyes open.

What did you think about these things because you grew up eating them when you were young?

It is truly a model for merchants.

They were the ones who scooped up sand and sold it if they could afford it.

Oh, but sand actually makes money.

sorry for the sand

But is this really something my uncle cares about?

“Actually, there is no reason to pay attention to that alone... but the problem is this.”

My uncle handed over another report.

“Anyway, this seems to be the reason for their eccentricity.”

“Aha,”

that’s how it happened. It's understandable if it's because of this.

“...This is interesting. I don't know who it is, but why did something creep in?

“What are you talking about?”

“No, it’s nothing.”

“okay.” Discover new chapters at novelhall.com

My uncle, who knows my character, listens seriously.

If I'm not a big deal, it means there's always a big deal.

I needed to visit once.

Daily life of merchants (1)

Everyone has a competitive spirit.

If my opponent is doing well, I want to do well too.

It's a creature that frets about wanting to get over it somehow.

If it develops in a good sense, it becomes a good competition, and if it worsens in a bad sense, it becomes an ugly secret drug.

Leaving that aside, merchants are such competitive people when it comes to money.

That's why they sometimes think of bizarre and funny business.

There's bound to be some crazy thoughts there.

“...Basically, I fully expected the price fluctuations of wood and stone materials.”

I looked around and murmured.

With the use of trains, it became easier to move wood and stone, so the demand was expected to increase.

Other than that, if there is a demand, it will depend on the region.

Crops that do not exist in the region, or the skins of creatures that do not live there.

And where you can afford it, luxury goods.

“Basically, the fluctuations of each firm...

are as expected.”

I murmured as I looked around the area where there were many shops owned by each trading association.

The place where I am currently is the closest city to the royal capital of Ernesia Kingdom.

The trading city of Melnek.

It was a lucky city that has recently been revived because it serves as a stopover where railroads connect everywhere in terms of location.

Thanks to this, it is said that the market has become the floor where various merchants and all kinds of goods go out.

The value of this city has jumped beyond imagination thanks to that.

It is said that the lord of this place bows to Fahilia five times a day.

Well, the taxes paid to the kingdom jumped a lot, but even with that out of the way, they left enough to be thankful for.

“I will take care of the words.”

“Yeah, don’t let it go. He's strong, so be careful.”

When I readily gave over the reins, he used the muscles of his thick arms to control the horse with strength and tact.

“By the way, the things I heard are quite valuable, so drive them carefully.”

When I gave him attention, Poomsae, pulling the horse's reins, became a bit cautious.

The worker skillfully stops the wagon in a suitable corner.

After that, all you have to do is show your registration card and identification card to another clerk working at the store, and tell them about your business.

The person in charge will come out soon and start the trading process in earnest.

Unless it is usually a rural mountain corner, the trading process is like this.

Seina looked around and asked.

Waiting is a little bit painful.

“Are you going to keep waiting like this?”

“It's quite crowded, but I won't make you wait long because you're my opponent.”

Even though I hid my identity.

If a merchant with the name of an Arnil Company wants to buy and sell a high-priced product, he'll come out right away.

As if to prove my prediction was right, a handsome middle-aged man immediately jumped out.

And the one who followed him was a slender young man with a neat appearance.

Doesn't it look a little nice for a simple trader?

“Welcome Mr. Kehil Harald. My name is Cherpal Belburum, the head of the Budell Chamber of Commerce.”

“My name is Cagin, who serves as the treasurer and secretary of the Budell Company.”

The store owner and the accountant bowed their heads politely while introducing themselves.

Is that so?

It seemed that he hoped to come out himself and make a deal since he was from his birthplace.

‘In modern society, it feels like the president and vice president of a small business come directly to the executive of a conglomerate.'

In any world, especially in the world of commerce, the flow of logic is the same.

With that thought in mind, I passed his greeting moderately.

First of all, I'm going to say hello, so I have to accept it.

“I didn’t think the Sanghoe Lord would come out himself. It is such an honor.”

“Is there anything wrong with that? The famous Arnil Company also wants to trade such expensive products, so I need to see the contract all the more.

“That's a good thing. At least it's better than having nothing to do and sipping a beer in your room, right?”

“I miss those days now. All of this is thanks to the train.”

With that said, he politely tried to lead us to a place to discuss the deal.

Considering that sales contracts are usually made on the spot, it is a special treatment enough.

“....this this.”

“Why Seina?”

However, Seina is looking suspiciously at something.

I don't know about the business, so I pretend to stay still, but something catches my eye?

“If you see some merchants, don’t be itchy.”

“why?”

“It’s a little bit hard to hide your true feelings with a smile... that’s right.”

“ah? There are some like that.”

It seems that the pretentious side of merchants is not very good in her values.

“In a way, that's the charm of merchants.”

When I smile bitterly and try to explain in moderation.

Suddenly, a corner of the loading dock became noisy.

“???? What?”

“...was there a fight?”

Other people's quarrels are the energy of popcorn for us!

Then drink and eat quickly!

However, the only ones looking around are us or the merchants who seem to have arrived here for the first time.

The guys from Budell's store looked somewhat familiar.

As we turned in the direction of the sound, we saw a merchant arguing with a trader.

The age is quite young.

I think it's probably a novice who has just started the business.

He is sweating so much that he wonders if his whole body is wet.

This is the reaction that a person shows when he falls right in front of the threshold of despair.

“...How can I be convinced at this price! I'm sure it wasn't like this when I bought this product...
