The elf merchant Selmine, based in Manastella, had his head troubled by something else when a dungeon and a whirlpool suddenly appeared on the border between Marcus and Theodoram were bustling down the alley. It is about the sale of sugar, which has been examined by the Elves of Illustria.
Initially, it was planned to sell in Manastella and Illustria, but there was a risk that the public anxiety from Theodoram - which was probably the beginning of the country - would be affected.
Although it is a nutritious sugar, it is still generally the treatment of preferences and luxuries. In some cases the orientation has also emerged to treat it as a medicinal product with an eye on the effects of nutritional supplementation, but there are never many such examples. In short, sugar, which is not a necessity, is a commodity as difficult to sell in unstable public opinion as it is now.
That said, there is no demand at all. In some grocery stores, restaurants, confectionery stores, etc. where sugar is essential as an assortment of products, there has also been a move to advance stockpiles, wary of interruptions in the supply of sugar from theodrum or rising prices. However, the movement is also small at this time and falls within the scope of bribery (rough) on existing supply routes. As for Selmine, who doesn't intend to sell in sugar until he disrupts the supply and demand relationship he has already established, I didn't really think about selling in that direction.
This time the aim was only to shake up the monopoly system of theodrum sugar, and I thought it should be avoided to affect the merchants involved in distribution and retail - I had agreed precisely with the decision of the Liaison Council -.
(That said... the city has cooled down...)
As a seller of affordable sugar, the original plan envisaged a slightly wealthier group of citizens. A hierarchy that doesn't even go as far as daily necessities, but is likely to make it possible to enjoy a simple dessert made from sugar at home as an occasional (occasional) luxury. From there, the use culture of sugar is immersed and grown into a large city. That's what I was thinking. Home-cooked recipes for this - recipes such as lemonade, compote, and jam served by Crowe - were also prepared.
That's what made me so fussy.
The newly emerging dungeons on the border between Marcus and Theodoram everywhere are stirring up tensions between the two countries, and the dungeons themselves are bronze statues of gold, so the public is swinging between anxiety and optimism each time. I don't feel comfortable enjoying my consumer life. After all (today), we cannot hope that the demand for sugar, a preference luxury, will grow significantly….
(... give up selling to Illustria for the moment and narrow it down to just Manastella...)
As a merchant, that is also one hand, but this sale of sugar is a plan drawn up first and foremost for its impact on theodrum. Theodrum's reaction would be dull, even if it were sold solely in Manastella, which has no borders with Theodrum and therefore no AC flourishes. Marcus and Morvania don't have borders, even if they do. Given this, it is best to sell it in Illustria.
Do you want to sell them as munitions? When it comes to nourishment, the muscles will also pass. A smaller amount of hard-baked bread, etc., and you can expect immediate nourishment.)
If I were to sell it, would about a battalion in Illustria be dealing with it? That would be about the power of the war that could move it for the moment. But... it's hard to get enough for everyone. Instead, should it be sold as a personal use such as an officer?
Selmine thinks a lot from a merchant's point of view, but he doesn't think of the right way to open it.
(They say you don't have to worry about profitability because you use it to lower the value of the negotiating card called sugar that Theodrum has... because you can't find the seller itself...)
Though it was Cellumine, a thought thrower, I come up with one selling destination that is not as good as it used to be, associating it with the fact that it is sold to the army and soldiers.
"Do you want to talk to the Adventurer Alliance?
Besides being immediate in terms of nourishment, it is also highly portable. Besides, the redeemability - perhaps - is high, so it could also be used for barter or cash changeover purposes on travel destinations. In the beginning, wholesale a small amount to the guild, if it attracts the interest of the adventurers, it will be better......
