I am a god in another world

"No need. There are probably not many merchants in Faerun who have not heard of the name of the Armed Cloud Ray. It is definitely a trade artifact."

"Ever since you led them to shine in the Desperate East Region, the value of these flying monsters, which were once hated by everyone, has doubled. A piece of information about their whereabouts is worth thousands of gold."

"Now the cloud rays in the wild are about to be caught out."

"Capturing is one thing, taming is another. So far, only a few cases of cloud rays have been tamed, and most of them were by powerful spellcasters. There is no way to replicate them. Now the only way to tame them in large quantities is by you, the Excellency."

Upon hearing the name of the Armed Cloud Ray, the eyes of the Archbishops of Shangjin present lit up. They had long coveted this kind of trade artifact.

Only then did they remember that the person in front of them was the instigator, and they all made faces at the Archbishop of the Holy Coin.

But the Archbishop of Holy Coin turned a blind eye.

Seeing their state, Gavin asked, "Do you have captured wild cloud rays? But haven't found a way to subdue them yet?"

"Nothing can be hidden from His Excellency the Road Builder." Archbishop Saint Coin then said, "As the church of Her Majesty the Goddess on the mainland, how can we lag behind others in this trade artifact?

We have captured and raised wild cloud rays, and there are as many as eight adults. They have laid two clutches of eggs, and we have not found a way to tame them and use them for our own benefit. "

"Haha..." Gavin couldn't help laughing out loud after hearing what he said, "We are already a family, there's nothing to be embarrassed about talking about this.

Keep these three fairy bracelets for now, they are the secret to capturing the cloud rays.

These are all I have for now. I'll give you the full stock when I've replenished my stock.

But there is one thing I must make clear in advance, this unique magical equipment was not made by me, but obtained through trade, so we must settle accounts clearly."

"This is enough." Archbishop of the Holy Coin smiled and said, "We wanted to spend money before, but we couldn't find a way! You just need to follow the market price."

For the Church of Woking, money is never a problem; the problem is what you can't buy with money.

The Fairy Bracelet that controls the Cloud Ray has always been a scarce resource because it can control not only the Cloud Ray, but also other low-intelligence monsters, such as the Purple Bug.

Gavin's forces are not enough to support themselves, so he is naturally reluctant to sell to others. In addition to money, he also needs connections.

"You have been so supportive of my work, I can't just say thank you." Gavin returned the favor, "I will give it to you at cost price, but you need to pay in the form of magic materials. Some are relatively precious and rare, which limits the number of fairy bracelets produced."

"Then I wish us a happy cooperation." Gavin continued the previous topic, "Although the safety and cost of air transport by armed cloud rays are guaranteed to a certain extent, it still requires careful planning.

After all, what we are transporting is not ordinary goods, but gold that even dragons covet. Once our transportation route is leaked, it is likely to cause unnecessary trouble.

Besides, we have some inventory in the Gods Mint. When the time comes, we can directly trade it with Gods Coins and other heavy gold. You save the coinage fee, and we gain the fire fee. We share the benefits equally."

Although the armed cloud ray is powerful, it is not invincible in air combat.

Putting aside the extraordinary powers of the gods' incarnations, just the famous dragons are enough to give people a headache.

Once you are targeted by them, it will be a big trouble.

If necessary, walk more and avoid their territory.

"I understand." Archbishop of Holy Coin agreed deeply. He understood this kind of pain very well.

These are all stumbling blocks that make it difficult for trade in the continent of Faerun to flourish, but there is nothing that can be done about it.

"That's all for today. The rest can be dealt with after you have set up the church bank. Many businesses rely on it. Without it, it's just meaningless talk." Gavin stopped talking.

The previous series of decisions were enough to bring about earth-shaking changes in the Church of Waukeen, and even have an impact on the entire continent of Faerun.

You need to digest it first, see the actual results, and then make a new plan.

Their development speed has always been faster than planned, especially when it comes to divine power, the speed is difficult to predict.

The Mint of the Gods is a good example; the reason they were not in a hurry to contact the Church of Waukeen before was because Gavin estimated that it would take nearly a year to build it.

As a result, within a month, they had already started mass production.

Who knows if similar situations will occur in the next development?

"Yes, sir!" The high-ranking officials of the Church of Woking bowed and accepted the order.

Then Gavin left first in a burst of teleporting light.

At this moment, he finally understood why those divine incarnations of the gods left as soon as they finished talking to him.

This is clearly an act of understanding. Only in this way can the rest of the people digest the conversation just now and discuss the specific implementation steps.

What was different from before was that he was no longer the one who stayed, but left on his own initiative.

He believed that after he left, the high-ranking members of the Woking cult would definitely hold a second round of meetings, or perhaps even an expanded meeting, to discuss the specific implementation strategies for that series of decisions.

Whether it is church reorganization or opening a church bank, it is not a small matter, but involves all aspects and affects the entire industrial layout of the Woking Church.

This is also true.

After Gavin left, the Golden Tower held various meetings all night long, which lasted for several days. Church members and businessmen from all walks of life came in an endless stream.

This behemoth demonstrated its powerful initiative. Even after three years of chaos caused by the Goddess of Joy, its foundation remained unshakable.

It would be more appropriate to describe it as a company with a well-organized structure rather than a cross-regional business empire.

Archbishop of Holy Coin is the chairman of this company and is responsible for all affairs.

Those archbishops in Shangjin are company directors, responsible for various departments (or chambers of commerce, or the operation of a parish).

Below them are gold coin bishops, silver coin priests, copper coin priests, etc., who are responsible for the execution of specific affairs.

What was originally a complicated matter became simple and straightforward after being broken down layer by layer, such as who would be responsible for setting up a church bank in a certain city, or who would be responsible for mobilizing the reserve gold, etc.

There is bound to be a game of power and interests involved, because these emerging industries involve huge interests, and there are both lucrative jobs and hard jobs.

In this world, it's the same everywhere. Everyone wants to take the lucrative jobs and doesn't want to take the hard jobs.

However, when faced with emerging industries, the old thinking may not work well.

Some of the lucrative jobs that you take for granted may actually be hiding suffering.

And those hard jobs will become lucrative as the situation changes.

Not to mention them, even Gavin, the instigator, finds it difficult to tell the difference.

After all, many of the experiences I have on Earth may not be useful when applied to the continent of Faerun.

In the process of implementing the decision, the followers of Woking discovered an unexpected benefit from the Goddess of Joy wreaking havoc on the church for three years.

Those who were greedy for pleasure had already thrown themselves into the arms of the Goddess of Joy one after another in the past three years, and were all taken away by her as believers.

Although this goddess is greedy for pleasure, she also has her decisive side. She cuts off things cleanly and neatly, leaving no tails and without playing any tricks.

She is not good at this and doing this will only make enemies for herself.

I dare not say that all those who remain in the Church of Waukeen are the elite, but at least they are devout in their faith in Waukeen, the goddess of wealth.

Inspired by the goddess' return, everyone was full of energy and enthusiasm, as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

However, whether it is the reorganization of the church, the establishment of a church bank, or the investment and construction of factories around the Conqueror's Road, these are all things of the future. What is really urgent is the Textile Festival on February 20th.

The Church of Woking has always been famous for its many festivals, and there is basically one major festival every month.

January 15th is the Day of Settlement.

February 20th, Textile Day.

March 30th, Fortune Day.

April 10th is Generosity Day.

May 12th, Giving Day.

June 21st, Luxury Accessories Day.

July 3rd to 5th, Trade Festival.

August 17th, Bounty Day.

September 7th, Magic Day.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

October 1st, Guards Day.

November 10th, Crafts Day.

December 25th is the day to commemorate the harm caused by wealth, that is, the day to prevent extravagance.

There are so many festivals. Some are indeed to honor the goddess of wealth, but more are to promote trade. Every festival is a great opportunity to carry out business activities.

The Textile Festival, as the name suggests, is held for textiles. As winter turns to spring, it is a great time to change clothes.

The festival is bigger in the north than in the south because the seasonal changes are more pronounced there.

As the headquarters of the Church of Woking, each festival in Askatala is quite grand and is considered a customary trade fair that attracts many merchants who come here specifically for this purpose.

Gavin also made this textile festival so unique.

The huge caravan brought by Lord Raymond is still stationed outside the city. The camp formed by their caravan alone is enough to rival a large town.

They are like a whirlpool, attracting more caravans here.

As the landlord, the Woking Church naturally had to organize this festival well.

clang!

Accompanied by a loud bell, shouts and the neighing of animals were heard simultaneously, followed by the sound of rolling wheels.

The Textile Festival of the city of Ascatla has officially begun. Both sides of the street are filled with people watching the fun. They stretch their necks to look outside. A convoy like a long dragon is slowly approaching the city of Ascatla.

Commercial vehicles parade through the streets.

It is a traditional event of the Textile Festival.

Those carefully selected merchant vehicles are the best exhibition stands for displaying their goods to the world and attracting them to their cargo camps to negotiate trade.

Many caravans are quite large in scale. For both convenience and safety reasons, it is impossible for them to drive into the city. They can only set up camp in the trading area outside the city.

"It's the Golden Legion's ship... I didn't expect that even though the Golden Legion was on an expedition to the New World, they would not forget the capital's festival and send a batch of goods back at this time."

"Are these the Maztecs? They don't seem to be much different from ordinary humans except that their skin is darker and their stature is shorter."

"What you see is just ordinary stuff. The real good stuff is in the cage in the middle. Do you think she is a human? Or a jaguar?"

"It's just a special kind of beastman. What's so strange about it? They are usually bloodthirsty and savage. Who would buy a slave like this? Aren't they afraid that their throats will be ripped open in their sleep?"

"Ha... you are surprised by what you have never seen before. This is exactly what those nobles enjoy. Only by subduing such beings can they prove their power!"

"Hiss... What kind of monster is that? It has a human body and a scorpion's body, and it even has such a thick scorpion tail. If I get poked by it, there will be a hole in it!"

"That's a scorpion man, said to be a species unique to the New World. Each of them is an exceptionally powerful warrior. It is said that more than a dozen soldiers of the Golden Legion were sacrificed in order to capture this scorpion man..."

"You mean, this is a legend? Hiss... a legendary slave! Not everyone can afford this!"

"Just because we can't afford it doesn't mean others can't. I believe many spellcasters are very interested in such a powerful slave. As long as they can control him with magic, he will be a powerful bodyguard."

The three vehicles at the head of the commercial vehicle convoy ignited the atmosphere.

The shapes of these three vehicles are very unique because they are converted from three small flat-bottomed boats with carriage wheels installed directly underneath and pulled by four fat and strong oversized horses.

The goods above are full of exotic flavors and all come from the New World.

The New World has been the hottest topic in Asktra City in the past six months. Many businessmen come here for it. The price of anything that has anything to do with the New World will increase by 30%.

After all, people are curious about what the new world on the other side of the ocean looks like.

But many people will never have the opportunity to set foot on the New World in their lifetime.

I can only satisfy my curiosity by bringing back goods from there.

"Hey... look at that commercial vehicle behind us!"

"What's so special about that commercial vehicle? Isn't it just a little taller and heavier, like a building? How can it be as unique as the boat and vehicle in front?"

"I'm not asking you to look at the carriage, but its wheels. They're not wooden wheels, they seem to be made of other materials. Didn't you hear any unusual noises while they were moving?"

"That's true. This type of tire seems to be elastic. They don't use oversized animals to pull the cart, but ordinary-sized animals, and only two horses are used. This shows that the pulling force they need is very small, but the volume of their carriage is not smaller than the boat carriage in front... The problem must be with the wheels..."

"The wheels are the most important part of a truck. If we can use the same pulling force to tow heavier goods, it will definitely be a very profitable thing. I wonder if this kind of wheel is their product and whether they sell it to the public!"

"I seem to have seen a type of cargo called rubber tires on their cargo list. I wonder if they are talking about these wheels!"

"What beautiful clothes! The materials, shapes, and styles are definitely made by a master... So many... This whole car is full of clothes..."

"It's not just this one truck. I heard that there are hundreds of heavy trucks carrying similar clothing..."

"Hundreds of heavy trucks? How many pieces of clothing would that require?"

"At least 100,000 pieces!"

“It’s really a big deal.”

"The real big deal is the weapons and armor at the back, all of which are made by the dwarves. There are also hundreds of heavy trucks, which is enough to fully arm an entire army... This will drive countless people crazy! Many people are here just for this batch of equipment!"

"I'm afraid their hopes will be dashed. Do you really think the Golden Legion's fleet is returning to Athkatra at this time to participate in the Textile Festival? No, they are indeed coming for the Textile Festival...

But their main purpose is not to sell goods, but to come for this batch of goods. I guess they are determined to get this batch of weapons and armor!"

"So, it is true that the Golden Legion encountered strong resistance during the process of exploring the new world?"

"What's so strange about this? Isn't it normal to encounter resistance?"

"Then this year's Textile Festival is really worth watching! Sellers are buyers, and buyers are sellers again!"

"Lord Raymond of Retaven City came well prepared. Whether it was high-quality canvas, weapons, armor, or a large number of war horses, they were not coming for ordinary merchants, but for the Golden Legion and the New World... He saw that they needed a large amount of military equipment to open up the New World!"

"Where did Lord Raymond get so much steel and equipment? Hasn't Retaven always been a transit trade city?"

"Isn't it obvious? He must be from the newly revived dwarf city on the Giant Plains... He is just an agent... The one standing behind him is the infamous conqueror!"

"I see. It seems that this conqueror is no longer satisfied with the land, and wants to have a share of the benefits at sea."

"But his method of getting a piece of the pie is unique enough that no one can stop him!"

After the novelty of the New World wore off, more discerning people set their sights on the convoy following closely behind the ship.
