Chapter 508 Caranto
"Mr. City Lord, with this 'Goddess of Dawn', we will be on the ground even in the sea of storms." A big businessman complimented beside Cedric.
Of course this is not a complete compliment. He really thought so. He did not feel any shaking on this big ship, steel, hull covering the magical aura, which made him full of confidence in this ocean voyage.
"It's not as good as walking on the ground." Cedric smiled. "This ocean-going voyage may be a little bumpy. Those who are seasick can take some seasick medicine first, or use physical therapy."
The so-called physical therapy method is to let melee professionals help knock them out, so they will naturally not be seasick.
"How could it be?"
"The City Lord is really good at joking."
"This 'Dawn Goddess' is enough to conquer the storm and the ocean."
·······
The surrounding merchants raised high "flags" one by one in a peaceful atmosphere.
Only Doran had a serious face. As the intermediary between the goddess of wealth and Cedric, he knew much more than ordinary people.
Cedric ignored everyone who was already in an excited state and greeted Dolan and said, "Caranto, you have notified me."
Such a fleet of hundreds of magic ships is enough to deal with a complete war. If the elves are not informed, they will probably not be allowed to enter their city.
"Yes, we have officially issued a note, and at the same time, the Great Temple of Our Lord has also explained to the Elf Temple, and they fully welcome us to trade, but such a huge fleet......"
Cedric waved his hand, "Don't worry, the elves are a race that wants to save face. Even if they find something wrong, they will pinch their noses and let us enter the city."
"We will reach Caranto in about 15 hours."
"So fast?" Even Dolan couldn't help but be surprised. He could not feel the speed of exercise at all on the stable "Goddess of Dawn".
However, compared with land commercial transportation, he immediately had a clear understanding.
Because it takes about two months to travel from Dawn City to Caranto, if you use land commercial transportation, and if there is any problem in the middle, the time may be doubled.
From the era of carriages to the era of mechanical ascension, this kind of disorder will certainly occur, but Dolan will not be able to accept it at all. After all, there are faster teleportation spells in this era, but the price of teleportation spells is high and ordinary freight cannot bear it.
"Not fast." Cedric shook his head slightly, "We were going smoothly along the way, without considering terrain factors, and without considering the attack of magical life."
In this era, the caravan hired mercenaries. In addition to dealing with robbers, the most important thing is to deal with a large number of wild beasts and even magical creatures in the wild.
Among them, the colorless dragon is the most popular person to rob the caravan, so the goddess of wealth and the mother of the dragon are mortal enemies.
But even if the legendary dragon sees this caravan with the "Goddess of Dawn" as the core, it will choose to take a detour.
And this is not the real speed of the "Goddess of Dawn", but it is basically the limit that it is suppressed by the rules of the main material world.
Dolan thought about it in her mind, and the fat all over her body couldn't help but tremble, because the commercial fortune value brought by this speed was immeasurable, and with the cargo capacity of the "Goddess of Dawn"...
"The price is also unacceptable." Cedric knew what Dolan was thinking, and he chuckled.
The [Elemental Fission Furnace] of the "Dawn Goddess" uses the lord-level element core. Of course, although this is expensive, it is not a one-time job after all, so merchants like Dolan can still afford it.
But the most expensive thing is the caster needed to manipulate such a huge fleet.
This time it was because Cedric was on the ship, so Dolan and others could not feel the extra expenses at all, but Cedric could not be on the ship every time, so they had to hire the corresponding mage and mechanic in the future.
The number of mages and mechanics required to control this fleet is enough to deal with any war in the Flannis region.
This is enough to show that its price is high.
At Cedric's prompt, Dolan immediately thought of this most critical point, and he stuttered, "That adult..."
His title as the Saint of Marine Trade seems to be moving away from him.
"Don't worry." Cedric said confidently, "technology will develop further with demand. I will set up a research institute in this area in the future. If you businessmen want more convenient technology, they can naturally invest in it."
Capital must be restricted. Cedric, who has historical experience, certainly knows where to lead capital. Otherwise, even if he gets rich in a short period of time, it will only cause inflation in Shuguang City and make the people at the bottom suffer.
In his imagination, the wealth earned by the merchants for Dawn City would be circulated among all the classes of Dawn City, making Dawn City truly rich.
Of course, the most realistic thing now is to let trade feed back technology and form a virtuous cycle.
"But technological development is not completed in one or two days, right?" Dolan couldn't help but say.
The most important thing about this great technological development is the feedback that foreign reincarnationists such as Cedric and Retia have forced to pull out with their knowledge and strength. There will be no such good things in the future.
"Of course, that's why you need your investment." Cedric nodded, "Although you can't form such a fleet, you can hire one or two magic ships in river transportation, plus five-masted merchant ships for close-range commercial navigation. Now this kind of ocean navigation actually has more significance lies in the level of Woking and you are just beneficiaries."
In addition to dealing with extreme weather, water commerce is also a major difficulty in the water, and it is much more difficult to deal with than on land. After all, if you are not careful, the ship will be destroyed and people will be killed. Therefore, unless there are often troops to clear out the rivers of magical creatures, water shipping will not be carried out at all.
But the cost is also huge, so the most important commercial transportation in the entire Flannis region is the onshore commercial transportation.
Although we cannot form a large sea shipping fleet like the "Dawn Goddess" fleet every time, with the help of magic ships, at least we can make water shipping a chance.
Dolan quickly calculated the risks and interests, and finally had to admit that the interests were enough to make the merchants take risks.
Of course, this is what Cedric hopes to see. After all, he cannot always be a nanny for these people. And there are risks, so merchants are willing to hire more mercenaries, which will also promote the great development of mercenary unions.
Just as Dolan wanted to continue asking, a huge roar suddenly came from the front, like thunder exploding on the water.
Cedric said in a deep voice, "Don't disturb me next, these underwater monsters are really annoying."
In order to make the sailing smoothly in the future, Cedric certainly had to "clean" the primitive rivers of Widley, which were full of magical creatures, and at least they should remember the deterrence of the magic ships in the short term, otherwise the shipping will not be easy to carry out in the future.
