She Is Not a Witch Chapter 153: Changes in the Roentgen Chamber of Commerce
"Welcome Miss Charlene."
In the mansion in the city, Geweier and Jialan received the caravan from afar. A warm charcoal fire was burning in the living room, and several people sat on the sofa beside them and formed an irregular circle.
"Hello, Master Geweier." The business lady who had gone through a long journey sat on the soft sofa and seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Because I received a letter from a friend, I brought a lot of things that the territory should need this time." After taking a sip from the teacup, the business lady calmed down a little and began to talk slowly.
"There are some grains, metal tools, seeds, ropes, and cloth and so on." She asked the entourage behind her to bring a list and handed it over.
Gewier and Jialan looked at it, nodded from time to time, and then put their hands down.
"Miss Charlene and the Roentgen Chamber of Commerce are bothering you."
"It's not too troublesome, after all, as a businessman, you must go wherever you have business." Miss Charlene smiled and waved her hand, expressing that there is no need to be so polite.
"At this point, at least the first half of the year will not be short of anything." Jia Lan said a few words with emotion.
"As for the remuneration, the territory will pay half of the amount first, and the rest will be paid in the form of goods in the summer."
"Well, I understand that. I said it in the letter before. But I still have to sign a contract." After speaking, Miss Charlene also took out the contract paper prepared in advance, which was covered with light-colored patterns. There are clear regulations and agreements written on it.
After another round of negotiation and discussion, the contract was stamped with the seals and spiritual imprints of both parties, and finally emitted a faint light, and a new pattern was derived to cover up the handwriting, so that it could not be changed in the future.
Finishing these business affairs, Geweier invited Miss Charlene to dinner.
"Okay, we also need a good rest."
Afterwards, Miss Charlene returned to the caravan's station for a while, and soon the unknown knight came here and walked in.
In the tent at the station, Charlene looked at Messia who had taken off her helmet, that is, Lorraine Hill, and walked around her a few times in surprise and curiosity.
"What's wrong?" Lorraine Hill felt a little embarrassed.
"It's nothing, I'm just surprised. Think about it, I haven't seen you for more than 2 months, a cute girl has become an indifferent and powerful hero knight, and it is said that she even fought a battle with the imperial cavalry , This is no longer a bold description."
After speaking, Miss Charlene took a closer look at Lorraine Hill's armor.
"It feels very masculine, not as good-looking as before." She bent down, pressed her fingers on her chin, and touched the cold and solid dark golden armor with her other hand.
"A silver armor like Messia's was so cute." She seemed a little dissatisfied, feeling that this girl didn't make good use of her appearance at all.
"But that would be very troublesome." Lorraine Hill shook his head helplessly.
The silver armor before is not a full-coverage armor, but a key protective armor. It is divided into breastplate, shoulder armor, skirt armor, gauntlets, boots, and several other parts. In some details ,It is indeed more flexible and beautiful to reveal the girl's slender waist and good figure, but from the perspective of concealment, it can't compare with this full-coverage armor.
"Actually, actually..." Lorraine Hill hesitated whether to say that Jialan was also her, so as to avoid a lot of trouble.
"Well, I can indeed understand Mesia's thoughts. The southern border is not stable now." Charlene sat down and began to talk about her recent experience.
"Shortly after you left, a major event happened in Chixin Province. The descendants of the Baskar family returned, and many local nobles and officials quickly turned against them, and then the empire's legion began to reinforce, and Start attacking and fighting."
"Was the Roentgen Chamber of Commerce affected?" Lorraine Hill asked worriedly.
"It has been affected. My father asked us to take a lot of people and assets to various parties, saying that eggs should not be put in the same basket."
"The current Roentgen Chamber of Commerce has actually been divided into several parts. My two brothers took most of them away, and only left me a small part."
"However, if you want to say that you are sad, that's not enough. I'm not so weak. In fact, I feel very relaxed, because this way I am independent, and I don't have to be ruled by my father and brothers in the future."
Miss Charlene waved the silk fan lightly in her hand, talking about the drastic changes in the past two months.
Because of the war and the fact that the Chixin Province, which is the headquarters of the chamber of commerce, is no longer stable, the president, Miss Charlene's father, divided up the assets under his name and let several children go to various provincial branches to develop.
"Actually, there are quite a few chambers of commerce that do this. Nowadays, many large chambers of commerce are aware of the crisis and are beginning to consider the way forward."
"Some are flattering the senior officials of the imperial legion, some are contacting the remaining feudal nobles in the southern border, and some simply transfer their assets to the middle of the empire, where it will be more stable."
...
"You said to go abroad? That's very rare, because businessmen don't have great power and carry too much money. They are like fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered. And they are foreigners, so it is difficult to get fair treatment. .”
....
"Klancia? I don't know much about that country, but it looks very strong. After all, it has defeated the Empire in wars over the years. Maybe I will consider visiting it in the future."
Compared to later generations, there are no newspapers and telegraph networks today, and a lot of news is not smooth. Even after the war has ended for nearly a year or two, many people in the empire still don't know the country to the west. More people's impressions are still in the era of the Seven Snow Kingdoms, and they think that there is not as rich and prosperous as the empire.
The only one that everyone knows better is probably the alchemist of Luerna. After all, many changes in the empire over the years are related to these new technologies.
The installation of muskets, the popularity of various alchemy props among nobles, and the rumored secret weapon of Clancia's victory over the empire are all related to these.
After the meeting with Charlene, Lorraine Hill put on the heavy and simple armor again and returned to the room.
Returning to the identity of Jialan, Lorraine Hill lay on the soft bed, looking at the ceiling.
I feel a little tired recently. Sure enough, managing the territory is actually a hard job. There is no reliable system to assist, so I have to do it myself.
Get some help.
Thinking like this, the girl pulled up the quilt, got into the warm bed, and prepared to have a good sleep.
Close your eyes, and filter out some candidates from your mind for now~IndoMTL.com~ Naturally, those students from Crancia cannot be transferred now. This will easily become interference in the internal affairs of other countries and leave behind historical problems.
However, starting from scratch completely feels a bit unnecessary.
It's the same as playing a game. If you work hard to level up, if you don't use it, you will feel a little frustrated.
Thoughts turned in her mind, and the girl turned again in the bed, continuing to think.
I don’t know if the Carites Chamber of Commerce under Lacey’s name was included in the agreement at that time. After all, this chamber of commerce also has a lot of overseas industries. Those branch members of the Southern Islands do not belong to Clancia. Call in the Empire to assist.
But such words seem to be suspected of cheating, and Lorraine Hill is a good boy, and he doesn't like cheating a bit.
Forget it, let's ask Tides, I believe this smart senior has many methods.
Slowly, the night gradually deepened, and some stars appeared in the sky outside the window, twinkling and twinkling, and the quiet night spread in the small town.
