Otherworld Nation Founding Chronicles

"Fufu, Almus alone ..."

"Do not stick too much"

I and Tetra had come to Lezad, the colonial city of Clarice, a Christian city state.

In short, good is in a hurry.

What I brought was food and sueki during the trip, and salt in exchange for currency.

Honey for gifts and a letter of introduction from King Rosais.

And an iron sword for self-defense.

I just came to see some influential Christians, so I didn't bring anything big.

Hopefully you can buy various things with postpayment if possible.

If it is impossible, you must carry Sue ware with a large number of people again.

I want a lighter trade product.

"However, why don't you have your own characters? It's troublesome."

I look at a wooden letter written in Greek.

In order to learn letters, you must first learn from the Greek language. There is a lot of trouble.

Numbers are easy, but when it comes to writing, you have to remember them in earnest.

Now that you have mastered the language of the region, you have to remember the Greek language.

"So what if Almus makes it?"

"It's a good idea. Let's make it if we have the chance ... what a joke."

It's faster to learn the Greek language if you make it.

"That's right. Every time I say the area around here, is there no place name?"

"There is a place named Adernia Peninsula"

"What are the Christians reading about us?"

"Barbaroy (a weird barbarian) or Peninsula. And purely a barbarian."

Well, from the point of view of people with advanced cultures, we are barbarians.

"By the way, can I ask another question?"

"what?"

"I can see something that looks like money there. Isn't it absent?"

I certainly remember having such a conversation.

When was it ...

That's right, right after I met the children.

What is Ron currency? I asked,

"It's only a very small part of knowing money"

"So that's it"

Does a person with wealth have it?

Even in Japan, the law on monetary ordinances has only been issued, and ordinary farmers do not know.

When we are talking like that, we arrive at the port.

I seemed to have walked quite a while.

"This is the sea ..."

"Are you new?"

Tetra nods.

Although it smells of salt, it is slightly different from the Japanese sea.

"There's a pretty big ship"

There were several ships in the port.

With a total length of around thirty meters, it will be quite large considering the cultural level of the world.

"I've heard that the Christians are good at navigation skills."

Well, it's like building a colonial city and doing trade here.

Naturally, we have technology that is incomparable to us.

"Well, where is Ains who sells livestock?"

We're not waiting, so we need to look for it.

"Let's find it immediately"

"Before that, let's look at the value of the product ... Sueki and honey. You may be deceived."

That is a good idea.

Anyway, those who think this is a barbarian.

There is plenty of potential deception.

We show Sue ware to a Christian merchant who specializes in pottery.

There are pottery similar to ours on the mat he is spreading.

They look almost the same in quality.

"What about?"

"... That's right. If you sell it in Greece, don't buy it with thirty bronze coins. If you sell here, ... thirty-thousand salt (500 grams)."

By the way, I heard from a passing merchant that it was one bronze coin and one silver coin. It seems that ten silver coins and one gold coin.

The salt is about one kilogram and one silver coin.

In other words, if you sell in this area, you can sell at 1.6 times the price of Greece. Isn't it a good business?

By the way, in the case of prices in Greece, one silver coin seems to be enough to live for one month.

Although it depends on the definition, a silver coin will generally cost about 100,000 yen.

"What did you make? Who learned it?"

"I thought for myself."

When I said that, the merchant curled his eyes.

"It's terrific. If you can, don't spread it too much."

"We won't make any money, so we won't be stupid to teach us how to make it for free."

It's an important card.

"Another. How much do honeys cost? I want to buy them as souvenirs."

"Let's do it. It's not something you can buy as a souvenir. I'll do about three gold coins with this kind of bowl."

The man said with the jar in his hand.

Isn't it expensive? Great.

The main product is determined by honey.

"By the way, what are you buying?"

Trade is not the end of selling.

Buy different things with the money you sell and get and sell them elsewhere.

Trade is what repeats that.

When you go home, you will not be sick if the boat is empty.

Naturally, they are buying something from here ...

I have no idea.

The cereal will be bad harvest recently.

In the first place, it is not suitable for this area or wheat cultivation.

There are no minerals such as iron.

There are no artefacts.

"That's right. Salt is a typical example, because you can get good rock salt here. Because of the large population in Greece, salt demand is high."

Is this a famous salt production area?

I did not know.

If you look in the forest, you might find it unexpectedly.

Will you look for it?

"Well, slaves."

Do you think so?

In this area, small nations are separated and wars are continual.

Slaves will be available in large quantities at low prices.

"Thank you for everything"

"Oh, then."

The man said his hand.

Is it possible to bring in information charges?

I put the salt in the sachet on the man's hand.

_________________

"Well, here is Ains' base?"

A very nice building stands in front of you.

The House of King Rossais ... Smaller than a castle, but not as bad.

Rather, King Rosais's castle is made of wood, and this building is made of stone, so this one seems to be stronger.

"Excuse me"

I knock on the door and ring the bell.

After a while, a man with brown skin appeared.

He has a collar on his neck.

"What is your purpose?"

"I want to do business with Mr. Ains."

"Unfortunately, my husband is busy ..."

"Please show me this."

I hand the woodcut received from King Rossais.

A man with a suspicious face receives a wooden letter and disappears into the building.

After a while he returned.

"please come in"

Indeed, a letter of introduction written by the king.

Even small countries seem to have some influence.

Yulia's guys had a lot of salt, and the kingdom of Rossais might surprisingly get a lot of salt.

"Hello, I am Einzu. Are you?"

The young man who appeared before me said that in Greek.

Young. I heard that he was a big merchant, so I thought he was more grandfather.

"I'm Almus. This is Tetra."

"Thank you"

We return in Greek.

I'm perfect in Greek thanks to Blessing Language, and I can speak Tetra from the beginning.

Anyway, the mother of Tetra seems to be a Christian.

I'm jealous of bilingualism.

Ains looked surprised at our return in fluent Christian.

"You're good."

"Ah, well this much"

It's the power of blessing.

"Do you want to buy livestock?"

"Yes, because I heard you have it here."

When I answer, Aines looks at me.

Because it's a 15-year-old young. I am. Such a person brought a letter of introduction from the king, albeit a small country. You will be worried.

"I'm asking you to be rude ... what kind of position are you?"

"Well ... what should I say? Well, the king hasn't claimed himself yet."

We're like independent nations.

Territory, people, sovereignty. I have everything.

"Is that so……"

Ain's shows a thoughtful expression.

I want you to make a great misunderstanding if possible.

"Three gold coins for cows and four gold coins for horses. If you pay in kind, you will have to pay more."

"I see. Actually, I didn't have any money at this time. I just came to check the price. Can I come again two weeks later?"

"No problem. By the way, how much do you buy?"

"Yes, please give me one horse and two cows."

In other words, ten gold coins in total.

You need three honey pots.

It's just the amount you can pay.

After all honey is hard to secure in quantity.

Maybe you need to make another product.

"Okay, let's get it ready. Two weeks later."

Thus, we have a new workforce.
