Raymond gulped down his saliva.
‘Like Marquis Rodrigo, I’m drawing other nobles and merchants under me!’
Marquis Rodrigo was able to rise to his current position thanks to his relationship with the Free Cities Association.
If you trade through Marquis Rodrigo, you can receive various benefits, so people flocked to you.
But now Raymond has similar benefits.
That was an even bigger benefit.
So, just like Marquis Rodrigo did, he was able to gather nobles and merchants.
‘This authority is not limited to me alone. All merchants who trade through me can receive the same benefits.’
In short, you can use it this way.
After establishing a trading corporation, other merchants can transact through that corporation.
Other traders authorized by Raymond could then benefit from the same tariff relief.
‘That’s how the merchants make deals with the Free Cities Alliance through me.’
Raymond swallowed.
‘Instead, I will take some of the gains through tariff reduction. Just like Marquis Rodrigo is doing now.’
Raymond’s head spun.
‘This way I can sit down and make a ton of money. You can really make Billion Pena rich!’
It was a really great reward.
Raymond’s heart beat like crazy as he imagined the future of becoming super-rich.
There was only one thing I was concerned about.
‘Will the merchants try to come under me?’
Those who had already been dealing with Marquis Rodrigo for a long time didn’t seem to want to open the deal easily.
Because it was a matter of faith.
But Raymond came up with a method with his genius mind.
‘Just give me a reason. I’m giving the merchants a justification by promoting it in a way that they will use the profits generated from the reduction benefits for the people of the Peninsula Kingdom.’
Of course, few noble merchants would be interested in serving the people.
But the important thing is the cause.
Giving him the justification of serving the people would be enough to break the deal with Marquis Rodrigo and become a justification for coming to him.
‘If things go well, I’ll be able to make a lot of money.’
Raymond swallowed and asked.
“By the way, are you okay? Isn’t it too much damage to the Free Cities Association or to the city of Gaebolg?”
As much as the tariff is reduced, the tax revenue of the Free Cities Association is reduced.
The larger the deal, the greater the burden on the Free Cities Association.
“Are you concerned about the people of our Free Cities Association?”
“No, that… … .”
“It’s also a light.”
Raymond made a shy face.
‘The rat thought of the cat.’
For reference, the Free City Alliance was the center of continental trade.
The Free City Association, located in the center of the continent, trades with all countries on the continent.
In particular, the other great powers, the Crusades, the Iron Empire, and the Holy Kingdom are at odds with each other politically.
Therefore, most of them do not trade directly, but broker trade through the Free Cities Association.
And that’s not all.
The Free Cities Association even has regular ocean trade with the outer continents of Jormund and Mew.
As such, the amount of goods transported and customs revenues were enormous.
This meant that there would be no appreciable loss by giving Raymond a single duty concession.
“Of course, tax revenue will decrease as much as it benefits you.”
Archduke Mishelt nodded.
“However, a decrease in tariffs has the effect of increasing trade volume, so it cannot be said that it is necessarily a loss. And since this authority has been given to close allies or close friends of the Free Cities Alliance from before, there is nothing to worry about.”
Archduke Mishelt smiled lightly.
“Besides you, there are friends in the Iron Empire and Holy Kingdom who have this authority.”
“ah… … .”
“However, there are two things you must do to receive this authority.”
two.
Raymond was nervous at the words.
“Of course, from the standpoint of Gaebolg, I would like to repay you, my benefactor, without preconditions.”
“… … .”
“But this free trade right applies to other cities besides Gaebolg, so we have to convince the other cities.”
Archduke Mishelt continued.
“As you said, if you give this authority, the tax revenue of each city that will do business with you will decrease, so you must have a cause to convince other cities. I want you to do two things to convince other cities.”
Raymond understood.
He saved Archduke Mishelt.
But from the point of view of other cities, that’s just someone else’s story.
So, since we need a justification to convince other cities, we ask them to do two things.
Archduke Mishelt added as if not to misunderstand.
“Of course, I have no intention of forcing my benefactor to do anything. If you don’t want free trade rights, you don’t have to.”
“then?”
“If you want any other reward, I will reward you with ten million penas in money. Choose whatever you like.”
Hearing that, Raymond began to worry.
‘Umm, what should I do?’
It was most likely a request to solve two problems of the Free Cities Alliance.
‘I don’t think it’s going to be easy.’
It is to create a justification to convince other cities.
So, it was never an easy task.
However, Raymond soon shook his head.
The rewards are too great to give up just because it’s difficult.
The right to free trade was a reward that would make him billionaires rich, so he had to risk his life to do it.
“What should I do?”
Raymond asked in a firm voice.
“The first is to spread medicine to our Free Cities Association.”
“… … !”
Raymond’s eyes widened.
It was an unexpected request.
“Even otherwise, I have been interested in medicine listening to your story. He has done many miracles in the Crusader Empire.”
Archduke Mishelt continued.
“So far, I have saved many patients who couldn’t be saved with heels or other treatments. He even saved me by planting someone else’s liver this time.”
Archduke Mishelt spoke in a voice full of wonder.
“Medicine is definitely a heaven-sent secret skill. If such medical practice can be disseminated, is the right to free trade a problem?”
Having said that, Archduke Mishelt asked cautiously.
“but… … I don’t know if that’s really possible. It’s such a great gig… … If it’s difficult, I’ll ask you another favor.”
Archduke Mishelt had a reason for saying this.
Medicine was a really great secret.
Archduke Mishelt thought that all other healing techniques that had existed on the continent so far were mere miscellaneous arts compared to medicine.
So, no matter how great Raymond was, he thought that there was no way he would readily spread such a great secret to foreigners.
‘Maybe I’m just asking too much for a tariff reduction or exemption.’
Archduke Mishelt was also shameless.
No, as befits the family head of the Gaebolg family, whose Eunwon is certain, his calculations were clear.
This was something that Raymond could not help but refuse.
So it was when he was thinking that if he refused, I would have to ask another favor.
Raymond gave an unexpected answer.
“Yes, I will. Do not worry.”
He nodded happily!
And that too without any worries.
Archduke Mishelt was very surprised and asked back.
“Really? Can I do that?”
“yes.”
Raymond thought to himself.
‘This is what I should have asked first, but what kind of rice cake is this? Hehe.’
Even if it wasn’t, he intended to spread medicine to the Free Cities Federation as well.
It was to develop the free city association into a medical market.
‘At first, we will sell products such as hair loss treatment and anti-wrinkle products to aristocrats and rich people, but there is a limit to expansion with just that. We also need to develop a medical market targeting general patients.’
Raymond continued his thoughts.
‘The Free Cities Association is the richest place on the continent, so even if you operate for general patients, you’ll get enough profit.’
In order to do that, we had to spread medicine first.
The largest part of the medical market is the items that doctors use while treating patients.
If a number of healers trained in medicine treat the patients of the Free Cities Alliance, he will earn a lot of money selling medical items.
‘Then you won’t be able to control the money you make in a day. Hehe. It feels good just imagining it.’
So, I was worried about how to spread medicine, but Archduke Mishelt brought up the story first!
“Just leave it to me.”
Archduke Mishelt, unaware of Raymond’s black heart, stuttered in admiration.
“To think he would pass on such secrets so easily. why… … you?”
Raymond answered simply.
“I am a healer. I want the patients of the Free Cities Coalition to be happy too.”
I thought it was too much money earlier, so I said it for image making.
It was a comment that went beyond boring and even boring now, but the first time listeners were always moved a hundredfold.
Archduke Mishelt thought in admiration over and over again.
‘They said it was light… … Really. None of the stories I’ve heard have been lies.’
“Thank you very much. Many Free Cities Union people will thank you.”
“no. Instead, the Free Cities Association has something to cooperate with.”
“What? Just talk.”
“Please give me a chance to give a lecture to the nobles and merchants of each city of the Free Cities Alliance.”
“lecture?”
“Yes, I have medications for several patients right now. First, we want to help the patients of the Free Cities Association with these medicines.”
It was to promote hair loss treatment and anti-wrinkle!
Originally, they had to follow the nobles with their feet and promote them, but if Grand Duke Mishelt stepped forward, the problem would be easily solved.
Indeed, Archduke Mishelt agreed at once.
even with admiration.
‘You’re making such an offer as if you’ve been waiting. You were already thinking of doing it for the people of our Free City Union from the beginning. How on earth do you have a sublime inner heart?’
In fact, the more we talked, the more admiration continued.
Of course, Archduke Mishelt is the iron-blooded monarch.
If Raymond had simply been sublime, he would not have rated him so highly.
On the contrary, he would have thought pathetically that he did not know the world, but Raymond was different from other people who were only talkative.
So far, he has been putting his ideals into practice. overcoming numerous difficulties.
Archduke Mishelt couldn’t stop admiring it because he knew how difficult and great it was as a monarch.
“If that’s the case, then of course you should help. Rather, it is something I have to ask for, so thank you.”
“thank you. And another thing to ask… … .”
Raymond’s eyes twinkled.
He realized that it was a golden opportunity to break the hukou!
made numerous requests.
Payment of education expenses according to medical education, future working conditions, etc.
It was a merciless blow, but surprisingly, Archduke Mishelt all nodded.
‘… … what? It’s not the Iron Blood Grand Duke, but Hogu… … Wasn’t it the Grand Duke of an angel?’
