My name is Ren

Chapter 44
"Hi, Grandpa." Celeste pinched the corner of her skirt and raised it slightly, bowing her knees and saluting, revealing a pair of brand new round-toed red leather shoes.This pair of shoes is her favorite. It was designed by Ren himself and made by the most outstanding cobbler in the City Lord's Mansion.Not to mention comfortable to wear, there are also those leather shoes and boots that are unusually visible, these are the only leather shoes in the world.The girl is very satisfied and happy, and she can't help but show it to her relatives.

Salcomo also bowed slightly to salute, not because Celeste was his granddaughter, he could accept such a salute from Celeste.In terms of relationship, Celeste broke away from Salcomo's family after she came to the Santo's Mansion. Her words and deeds all carry the background of the Santo's Mansion, and represent Ren's face in profile.

Ren didn't say anything about the actions of the two, and he had a deeper understanding of Salcomo's shrewdness in his heart.Many people marry their daughters and granddaughters to prominent figures, and they feel that they are also members of the upper class.This kind of people often will not end well. For example, General He will bring disaster to his relatives.

A smile gradually appeared on Ren's face, he touched Celeste's soft hair, and said in a soft voice: "I heard that the new master of swordsmanship has arrived, go and meet her."

The newly invited master of swordsmanship is a female, sixth-level swordsman, titled Frost Sword. It is said that her fighting spirit attribute is biased towards ice, but it is not so strong. Whenever the fighting spirit rises, the long sword will Cover with a thin layer of frosting.There are also rumors that the title of Frost Sword is because after she kills the enemy, the wound on the enemy's body will not bleed and will be covered by a layer of white frost, so she has the title of Frost Sword.

Regardless of the origin of her title, the strength of this swordsmanship master has been recognized by Blair, and she is a female swordsman with real combat experience.There are not too few female sword masters, and not too many have been awarded the title. For this reason, Renn paid three gold coins a month to invite her to teach.

Celeste was slightly taken aback, revealing the cuteness of a little girl. She glanced at Salcomo nervously, and quickly ran away covering her face after saluting.

"My lord likes Celeste very much, I am very grateful." Salcomo can naturally see that Ren really likes his granddaughter, otherwise he would not invite a master of swordsmanship to teach his granddaughter to learn. Wu.The status of women in this world has always been embarrassing, not up and down.A strong man, such as the first female Grand Duchess Joan of Arc in the empire, wiped out the rebellion in Oakley County with the long sword in her hand and five hundred moonlight knights, beheading countless rebels.

The weak are like those women among the nobles who only know how to eat, drink and have fun.

Whether a woman can live well and live happily depends on whether the man she relies on loves and spoils her.Many flamboyant people live a miserable life after they get married. They are disliked by their husbands, so they can only swallow their anger and tears in their stomachs all day long.

After all, men like Ryan who invited various teachers for Celeste were in the minority.

Ren leaned back on the sofa, raised his head slightly, "I'm not a pervert, Celeste is very cute, I like her very much."

Salcomo is very wise not to continue to entangle on this issue. Celeste is his granddaughter, but from the day she left home to live in the city lord's mansion, everything related to Celeste has changed. Became Ryan's family business.He is an "outsider", caring too much is also a trouble.

"I heard that you want to organize a business group in Ortrenburg?" Salkomo, who is very sensitive to business intelligence, rushed over from Milin as soon as he heard the news.He has to rush over here, if Ren can say something shocking like "the city lord is the parent of the people", then the business group of Ortrenburg is equal to his own son, and the business group of the chamber of commerce is someone else's family son.

He had to get Rennes' attitude, and then arrange the Chamber of Commerce's actions.

Ren nodded and said: "Yes, the geographical location of Ortrenburg is very special. I have thought about it for a long time. The financial order here has not collapsed until today, and it still depends on the developed commercial circulation here. Every caravan passing by Here, there will be a lot of employment opportunities. But this is not a long-term thing. Relying on others is never as good as relying on yourself. It is too dangerous to give your lifeline to others." He smiled half-smile, "Furthermore, Even if the business group in Ortrenburg is formed, it will not affect the things we agreed on."

Ren is very clear that the first problem that needs to be faced after the establishment of the business group is the channel. Don't underestimate this channel, the channel has always been the big killer of the chamber of commerce.To give a simple example, the Bell Chamber of Commerce obtained 100 million tons of grain, and they could sell it all through their channels in three days.But if Ortrenburg is given 100 million tons of grain, how to sell it will become a problem.Buying and selling is also divided by human feelings. Many people are willing to establish a long-term supply and marketing relationship, and will not change families easily. This is another form of monopoly.

In establishing the Ortrenburg Chamber of Commerce, Rennes never expected to compete with the Capital Chamber of Commerce. All he needed to do was to improve the living conditions of Ortrenburg residents and make life easier for his own people.

Sarkomo breathed a sigh of relief. If Rennes really wanted to support his business group vigorously, they would have to sit on the wax.After all, no matter how cross-border trade goes, Ortrenburg, a special place, can’t get rid of. As long as they get stuck at the gate, they can prevent a single commodity from entering Orlando from the Byron Empire, and they can also prevent a single commodity from Orlando. go.

This topic came to an end for the time being, and Salcomo inquired in a cautious tone after deliberation: "I heard that you got a plundering license, didn't you?"

This is the real purpose of his visit today. Someone from the capital greeted him, asking him to find out what this plundering license is, what powers and obligations it has, and where the plundering scope is.There are quite a few people saying hello here. There are giant merchants from the capital, including the president and vice president and directors of the chamber of commerce, as well as nobles from the capital, and some privileged classes. They are all people who cannot be offended.

Some people are afraid of Ren, while others want to get involved.

Legal plunder, there is no more profitable business than this, even Salcomo is very tempted.

Ren knew in his heart that this was Salcomo's question knowingly, so he didn't believe it. The old guy didn't leave any eyeliner in Ortrenburg, and the members of the Chamber of Commerce in the city would also provide information to the General Assembly.But then again, no matter what kind of resistance this matter faces, Rennes is imperative.

As everyone knows, there is no business that can compare to the business of plundering.

Ren briefly introduced that the first batch of plunder licenses consisted of three, targeting the Weimar Corridor, the Great Western Grassland of the Byron Empire, and the entire Caspian Sea.

The Weimar Corridor between Orlando and the Byron Empire is a bit like the Bering Strait on Earth. The territories of the two empires meet at one point, which is the Weimar Corridor.To the north of the Weimar Corridor is the majestic Salmei Mountains. To the south, the mountains gradually become flatter, and finally the mountains run away [-] kilometers away, and then to the north is a huge inland ocean.After the northwest extension is the Atlantic Ocean, the entire continental plate half embraces the Caspian Sea.

Almost all of the plundering areas designated by Rennes are outside Orlando's territory.

As an old and cunning businessman, Sarkomo immediately realized the value of plundering the Caspian Sea. There is a maritime trade channel called the golden channel by merchants. merchant ship.Coupled with the accessible waterway, after the plunder, they can quickly return to the northern mountains through the river.

"I see!" Salcomo nodded, thinking about something in his heart.

Ren could see at a glance that the old guy was tempted. As long as there were enough benefits, a businessman could become a robber.But obviously, he didn't intend to leave this path to the chamber of commerce, or those guys in the capital.Just as Ryan planned, he wanted to create a brand new game rule. Before the game rule became a realistic order, he was not allowed to introduce predators to destroy his plan.

When all the dust settles and the rules of the game become orderly, and no one has the courage to destroy it, Ren will continue to sell the second batch of plundering licenses.Moreover, his real intention is not here, but in the distant imperial capital.
