Talk to Listella and consider the standards for boxes to be used for the most important transport.
As a result of the consultation, considering the size of the items that are often handled and the handling when loaded in the carriage, for two types of boxes, one for holding alone and the other for holding by two, a cube of 40 cm x 40 cm x 40 cm for the smaller, based on 40 cm. The larger one was determined to be 80cm x 40cm x 40cm.
When it's multipled, there's no waste when piling.
In this world, there are things like regular (ginger) and roll scales (mackerel), but there can be no mistake, so we will make a standard stick that says' this is 40 cm 'and ask the elves in the mine to make it based on that.
The work of the Elves would make good things with little variance.
By the way, the delivery price is 500 astr for the smaller one. The bigger one amounted to 1000 astols.
It would be an addition to mine operations. Write to Elves and Nina and ask them to make and sell it.
Nevertheless, the 40cm square box has a capacity of 64 litres in simple calculations. The outer dimension (candlestick) makes it a little narrower inside, but once filled with water, it weighs about 60 kg.
I thought it might be hard to handle some of the stuff you put in by yourself, but this world is about half gravity physically, and according to Listella, people who handle luggage work out their bodies, so it weighs enough to handle it.
That is a world without cranes or forklifts. Humans are annoying.
With that said, Listella, who just hugged me, was also powerful......
... Whatever the standard is, the other question is what to do with the price.
I had no idea, but after Mr. Listella had given it plenty of thought, he could pack all he wanted in the box. If it's small, it's 10,000 astols. The bigger one wanted to add 25,000 Astres as the base price and 1,000 Astres per day for the approximate journey by carriage.
An example of the salt that came out in this previous story is 15,000 astr because the distance is five days, as 50 sachets of salt go in the smaller box. Each bag will cost 300 Astres. Oh, that's a third so far.
The problem is profitability, although it is definitely cheap, because it is one third of the price that the Grand Chamber of Commerce efficiently transported the product for which the demand for salt was promised.
"At that price, how much profit can you expect?
"Right...... 2000 astr one for the smaller as the amount to be given to Yoichi. How about the bigger one for 5,000 astols?
20% of the base price?
I don't know how much demand there is, but for now, if there were 10,000 and 5,000 treatments in a year, a total of 45 million astr.
It's overwhelmingly short compared to the funds you need, but I have no complaints if you can make that much with almost a round throw at Mr. Listella.
In the meantime, the business may expand in the future.
"Okay, so please.... By the way, is Listella Chamber of Commerce profitable okay?
"Yes, because first of all, I am going to start treating you only among the cities where my Chamber of Commerce regularly operates carriages. The escort is dedicated, and don't worry, if you have a small amount to handle, we'll put it on other carriages additionally, and if it's a lot, change the medium carriage carrying other luggage to a large carriage, etc., to raise it as cheaply as possible. Because that kind of ingenuity is the merchant's business."
That's what I said, Mr. Listella, with a confident smile.
I don't have to doubt Mr. Listella's talent as a merchant anymore, so let's trust him fully.
The sudden start of this new business is due to the credibility of the Listella Chamber of Commerce and the distribution network that connects it to the branches that already exist.
Otherwise, the box shall be stamped with the seal of the Listella Chamber of Commerce and shall not be accepted in boxes of similar size or without it.
At the time of delivery, only the contents shall be handed over and the box shall be collected.
If the recipient could not be delivered without being found, the shipper was returned, and the method of operation such as refunding half of the fee was also determined.
Slow down will also consider expanding the network from local cities to villages and introducing 120cm x 40x40 size boxes, but that's since commerce is on track.
I'll make up my mind and ask what I care about.
"Mr. Listella. Expanding this method to villages will not deprive pedestrians of their jobs?
"I guess so. We have a permanent branch in a large village that combines shopping, and we intend to set the day for every few days in a small village and carry out regular patrols over mobile shops."
"Wouldn't that be attacked with hatred?
"As is often the case with merchants, at that time I was wondering if I could hire a pedestrian at the Listella Chamber of Commerce to go around the village. Periodic patrols will be more appreciated by villagers than pedestrians who don't know when to come, and employment forms will stabilize the lives of pedestrians"
"I see. I hope it's good for both sides."
"Yes. Merchants originally make money by paying producers money to feed their lives, while providing customers with what they need to improve each other's lives and hence enrich the country as a whole. Except some bad merchants."
Bad merchant...... I guess he is.
It brings back the sight behind my brain when I bought the mine where the pharmacist was.
What did I say about that Chamber of Commerce...... oh yeah, it was the Radgan Chamber of Commerce.
"Mr. Listella. I'm gonna change my mind, Radgan, but you know what?
"Yes, you are a former owner of a mine owned by Yoichi."
"Do you know what's happening now?
"There was a deep relationship with the nobility that had been attached to the Third Prince in the earlier civil war, so it fell after the civil war and was completely crushed by the confusion when the Idra Empire attacked. We're hiring six former employees, what can I do for you?
"No, I was just wondering"
Right, crushed...
Would the pharmacist be happy to find out about this story?... You can't do that, it's not the kind of wound you can handle.
If there was a way to heal the heartbreak of a pharmacist, it would save one or more elves from the slave condition. And it's also about fulfilling your promise to Lynne.
And it will still require enormous funds to do so.
It will also be necessary to consider other financial measures than this one.
I renewed my resolve to explore this idea...
