Ambition Lord

Chapter 130 Elemental Gems
It is also because of this incident that Allen found that the development of the territory's business is very slow. Allen has been focusing on the management of the territory before, but he has somewhat ignored the importance of business. Now the entire Musen Territory is only the original Qinghuang The leading caravan is under Alan's management. As for the other caravans led by Musen, these are all formed by the wealthy businessmen themselves.

The Qinghuang collar caravan is very small, and it only conducts some small-scale trade with other baronies on both sides of the Qinghuang collar, which is difficult to use.

At this point, Allen felt that it was time to regulate the territorial caravan and commercial trade regulations, and on this basis, form a caravan of Musenling.

In order to solve this problem, Allen, who returned to Musen City, specially summoned Andy's father, Lear, who was the captain of the Qinghuangling Caravan in the past. He has been engaged in business for more than ten years and has rich experience.

Although Lear and Andy are father and son, their appearances are very different. Andy is tall and thin, with sharp eyes, and looks a bit delicate, while Lear looks short and fat, with dark red skin, and looks very ugly.

"Master Viscount!" Lear said to Allen.

"Well! Captain Lear, how many years have you worked in the caravan?" Allen asked.

"My lord Viscount! Lear joined the caravan at the age of 25, and it has been 19 years now!" Lear said with a little reminiscence after thinking for a moment.

"Tell me about your knowledge of the various caravans in Musenling?" Allen asked.

"Yes!"

"Musen collar used to have many caravans. For example, each baronie had its own caravan. Like the original Qinghuang caravan, it was small in scale, but it was basically disbanded in the recent war! Apart from these, Only the four major caravans in Musen City are left! However, one of the caravans was controlled by the former Viscount Musen family. After the death of Viscount Bernard, the caravan was naturally disbanded. Now the main There are three caravans!" Lear paused, then continued.

"It's the White Pine Caravan, the Muduan Caravan and the Feiye Caravan. They were established by rich businessmen Samo, Ram, and Tiris respectively. The members of the three caravans are all over [-]."

"The White Pine Caravan is specialized in the timber business, and it makes a profit by selling valuable timber from the Black Dragon Mountains to wood dealers from afar. The Muduan Caravan is in the fur business, and the Feiye Caravan is in the precious gem trade. .” Lear explained.

"Gem trade? There doesn't seem to be any gemstone mines in Mu Senling, right?" Alan, the trade partner of the other two caravans, can still understand, but this Feiye caravan is engaged in gem business, but if I remember correctly, Musen Ling There are no gem mines.

Gems in this world are very precious, and gems are just a general term. As far as Allen knows, there are several categories, such as diamonds, crystals, colored gemstones, jade, etc., which are very similar to Allen's previous life, but they are also different.

Although these gemstones are of high value and look extremely beautiful, this is not the reason why nobles chase them.

In addition to the ornamental value, the gemstones in this world also have unexpected value, that is, elemental gemstones.

Elemental gems are basically produced in gemstone mines, which are produced by chance. They contain elemental powers that ordinary gemstones do not have. They are extremely rare, and often no gemstone mine can produce one.

Elemental gems look very similar to elemental spars, but there is only one difference between them, that is, this difference makes the value of elemental gems much higher than the price of elemental spars, that is the resilience, elemental gems in After the elements contained in it are used up, they can also recover by absorbing external elements, but element spars cannot.

Among them, elemental gems can distinguish the elements contained in them by color, for example:
Ruby contains the element of fire, sapphire contains the element of water, topaz contains the element of earth, golden gemstone contains the element of gold...

Amethyst contains the element of thunder, red crystal contains the element of fire, green crystal contains the element of wood...

Red diamonds contain the element of fire, yellow diamonds contain the element of earth...

It is precisely because of the discovery of elemental gems that people have created elemental weapons. People have embedded elemental gemstones on utensils to reduce the consumption of their own elements through the elements in elemental gemstones.

Of course, Alan's ancestral gemstone sword is not inlaid with elemental gemstones.

However, elemental gems are often only found by people above knights, and it is impossible for caravans like the Feiye caravan to have people with the strength of knights.

"Master Viscount! The Flying Leaf Caravan is mainly engaged in the business of emeralds among gemstones. Although we don't have gemstone mines in Musenling, there may be gemstone mines in the Black Dragon Mountain Range. Every year, many miners dig out gemstones in the Black Dragon Mountain Range. One or two rough jadeites of good quality. The main thing for the Feiye caravan is to buy the rough jadeites they found in the Black Dragon Mountains from these Musenling miners, and use these rough jadeites to open a small gambling workshop in Twilight City! "Lear is relatively clear about the trade of the Feiye caravan.

Compared with other gemstones, jadeite is a little strange, that is, it is basically hidden in the stone skin. As long as the skin of the stone is not broken, it is difficult to find it. It can only be judged by the skin that it may contain jadeite.

Because of this characteristic of jadeite, there has been an upsurge in stone gambling among the nobles. Buy a rough stone at a relatively expensive price. Emerald, etc., that is even more lucrative.

Thinking of this, Allen understood the trading principle of the Feiye Caravan.

"I am going to build a workshop. The workshop is specially used to make a product called mosquito coils. The raw materials for this mosquito coils need to be used in caravans. I want you to build this caravan. You are the captain of the caravan. I will also hand over the workshop to you." How do you feel about managing it for you?" Allen asked seriously.

"Thank you, Lord Viscount! Lear must do his best to not let Lord Viscount down!" Lear was excited when he heard this. Originally, after Lord Viscount took down the entire Musen collar, his Qinghuang caravan was in Musen. The collar is no longer so conspicuous. He originally thought that the Viscount had given up on him, but he didn't expect that the Viscount would entrust him with a heavy responsibility. He was really flattered!
After the thankful Lear left, Allen summoned Cooley from the Finance Department. Ever since Cooley entered the Finance Department, he had always kept his work in a reserved manner. In addition, Carey's housekeeper was getting old. Now the entire Finance Department's affairs Basically, it is managed by Cooley. After a while, Butler Carey will step down and give up the position of director to Cooley. In the words of Butler Carey, he no longer has the energy of a young man and cannot No matter how qualified he is as the head of the finance department, he might as well come back and be the butler of the castle for Allen.

Allen agreed to Butler Carey's proposal. Firstly, considering that Butler Carey could really rest and have Cooley around, and on the other hand, Musen Castle really needs a capable butler. Mrs. Sa took care of everything, but now it's completely different in Fort Musen.
