The Lord is Addicted in Infrastructure

After the Grand Duke of Orville and the emissary convoy of the Anas Empire left, the next thing was Boris.

Xia Zuoyi understood that Boris's sudden arrival in Designia's territory must be more than a simple surprise for him.

as predicted.

A day after Orville left, Boris found him alone.

"Little Zoe, let's talk about cooperation at the chamber of commerce."

Xia Zuoyi nodded, and brought Boris into the study.

Now the Thorn Chamber of Commerce and the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce are mainly cooperating on things other than the initial plant medicine, and then they have successively carried out cooperation including plant ointment and water pattern paper.

The Nagabi Chamber of Commerce opened the way for the establishment of the Thorn Chamber of Commerce in the Anas Empire, allowing the Thorn Chamber of Commerce to smoothly enter the imperial market and collect money by selling plant medicines and ointments.

The two most profitable items in the Thorn Chamber of Commerce are rose salt and medicine for treating injuries.

This is also the root of the Thorn Chamber of Commerce's foothold.

The same thing that people must use every day.

The other is something that can save lives at a critical moment. Even fanatical believers will say that the botanical medicines and ointments of the Thorn Chamber of Commerce are more effective than the holy water given by the Creator God.

The sale of these two items brought a steady stream of money to the Thorn Chamber of Commerce.

It was precisely because of this that Xia Zuoyi was able to support the smooth implementation of Xia Zuoyi's plan to rebuild the two cities.

The Nagabi Chamber of Commerce has given him enough convenience and help in the past three years.

Among them, the Thorns Chamber of Commerce was able to gain a foothold in the Anas Empire and it was also inseparable from Boris.

But the reason why the Thorn Chamber of Commerce has not been jointly suppressed by other chambers of commerce is also due to Xia Zuoyi's reputation as an alchemist.

Where is the drug configuration is so easy.

Although alchemy is also linked to medicine to a certain extent, alchemy is different from medicine.

Alchemy is a bold idea, dedicated to developing in the direction of refining the "philosopher's stone", which inevitably includes metal substances.

Most metals are poisonous.

Medicine is rigorous.

What's more, if you don't know the medicinal properties, pharmacology, usage and dosage of herbal medicines, how can you successfully formulate medicines that can treat patients.

Xia Zuoyi's biggest reliance is his unique "alchemy method".

He is a talented alchemist, as evidenced by the well-known other alchemists who came here and the alchemy tower built in Wissas.

But what Boris wants to discuss with him today is also these two issues.

The original salt sales channel has been dominated by the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce. Later, after the more convenient and better quality sea salt method appeared, the salt sales channel was expanded.

The Nagabi Chamber of Commerce is no longer the only one, and gradually relaxes the control of salt sales.

After three years of development, many chambers of commerce have begun to sell salt.

The price of these salts is lower, and they quickly seized market share once they appeared. Although they did not reach the point where rose salt and Nagabi salt were squeezed out of the market, the prices of the two salts dropped again and again.

In Boris' view, this is a vicious competitive cycle.

But in Xia Zuoyi's view, this is a normal trend.

After all, the method of drying salt in seawater is there, and anyone who is interested will learn it. Moreover, the price of salt will only become cheaper and cheaper until it drops to a certain level.

As for the plant medicine and ointment, Boris brought Xia Zuoyi a piece of news.

"Do you know Chebman Norton?" said Boris.

Xia Zuoyi nodded: "Yes, a well-known master alchemist, he also minored in medicine."

This alchemist has been famous for a long time and is highly respected by people in the Alchemy Association.

Since Xia Zuoyi chose to become an alchemist, she naturally had to learn about everything related to it.

After he successfully obtained the title of alchemist, he conducted a lot of investigations.

Among them, Chebman Norton's name came up frequently in the investigation.

——He has achieved many things, and is undoubtedly a very famous and highly respected person.

"What happened to Chebman Norton?"

Xia Zuoyi asked, presumably Boris mentioned that he must have something about plant potions and ointments at this time.

He was right.

Boris said that after several years of painstaking research, Chebman finally produced a medicine that can effectively treat cough, fever, and abdominal pain.

Moreover, he also developed a special ointment for the treatment of the anus.

Xia Zuoyi almost choked on her saliva.

anus?Is it ointment for hemorrhoids?

He asked with doubts.

Boris didn't find it difficult to speak, so he explained in detail the symptoms treated by the ointment, such as blood in the stool, pain, restlessness...

It is indeed the reaction when you have hemorrhoids.

Xia Zuoyi couldn't help sighing: "Chebman is indeed a master alchemist."

As a lord, he can't always study potions and so on. There are too many things for him to deal with, so it is inevitable that his progress in potions and ointments will be slow.

Boris leaned back on the chair, knocked on the table with one hand, and scoffed at the words: "It is undeniable that Chebman is indeed very talented."

"But look at what medicines and ointments he has researched. Except for this ointment for treating the anus, all the other medicines collide with the ones you have researched. I don't believe there is nothing in them."

"If he really has the ability to develop drugs, why didn't he have any achievements in this area before you?"

"Little Zoe, you must know that he is an old man in his decades, and he hasn't researched it for decades, so why can he make it now?"

"What's more, I sent people to investigate. Before that, Chebman ordered people to buy a large number of potions and ointments from the chamber of commerce..."

Chebman's achievement came only after Xia Zuoyi's research, and how it came about is self-evident.

Boris said: "Little Zoe, don't be too optimistic."

"You don't know that Chebman Norton has been recruited by the Ed Chamber of Commerce, and now the Ed Chamber of Commerce has begun to sell the same botanical medicines and ointments, and the price is cheaper than ours..."

The Ed Chamber of Commerce is the largest chamber of commerce in the San Airo Empire.

Although its status cannot be compared with that of the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce, its ability must not be underestimated if it can gain a foothold and grow in an empire.

The most important thing is that the Ed Chamber of Commerce has the support of members of the royal family of the St. Airo Empire, just as the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce also secretly supports the Royal Family of the Anas Empire, so it cannot be easily moved.

And once the same but cheaper medicine appeared on the market, the advantages of both the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce and the Thorn Chamber of Commerce would be completely gone.

Unless they also start lowering the price of botanicals and salves.

But even so, it is impossible to recover the large number of gold coins that have been lost, and sales will definitely decline afterwards.

Xia Zuoyi was not as annoyed as Boris was, the popularity of necessities and being researched was a normal trend.

Because this is an extremely huge market, even if you only occupy a small market share in it, the profits you get are considerable.

Businessmen are profit-seeking, and he is not surprised by such a result.

Furthermore, he would not deny Chebman Norton's ability.

After all, in the past three years, there must have been countless alchemists who wanted to study the plant potions and ointments sold in the chamber of commerce.

However, until now, only Chebman Norton has thoroughly understood and produced it.

Not only that, but he also made an ointment to treat hemorrhoids.

There is no doubting the ability of Chebman Norton.

Xia Zuoyi thought of this, and said to Boris: "I remember that Chebman's status is not low, he is also a nobleman, and since he has the Ed Chamber of Commerce behind him, and the Ed Chamber of Commerce is backed by the St. Airo Empire... ..."

"Chebman didn't choose to research a potion and then release it, but chose to research all of them and sell them in the Ed Chamber of Commerce at one time, which shows that they have already made full preparations for this."

"We can't move him now, so there's no need to get entangled in this matter."

"I will continue to study botanical medicines and ointments, medical operations to treat trauma, etc., not to mention it is time to add money to other projects."

Boris raised his head when he heard the words, and interest flashed in his deep lake green eyes: "What do you want to do?"

Xia Zuoyi: "Do you think the riding clothes I asked the tailor to make for you look good?"

"nice."

Boris nodded, and quickly understood the meaning of his words: "Do you want to sell this riding outfit?"

Before Xia Zuoyi could answer, Boris frowned and said, "Little Zoe, I think you should think about it carefully. Selling riding clothes is not feasible."

"Riding clothes can only be worn by nobles, and this style can be sewn by a good tailor as long as you buy it and take it apart for research..."

He shook his head, this kind of deal is very uneconomical.

Boris clearly disagreed.

Xia Zuoyi said: "Boris, it's not just riding clothes. How can there be only one kind of clothes I want to launch?"

"I plan to take two routes, one is advanced customization, and the other is affordable."

"Advanced customization is mainly for nobles, while affordable clothing is for small manor owners, all civilians and slaves..."

Boris knew that Xia Zuoyi must have his own thoughts, so he listened quietly to him.

"The focus of advanced custom clothing is design, and the price is definitely not cheap, so let's not talk about it for now."

"Let's first talk about affordable and affordable clothing, and the focus is on women's clothing..."

In this era, the nobles had the conditions to dress themselves very gorgeously, but the style and style of the clothes were very monotonous, monotonous to the point of even ugly.

For example, the riding outfit that Xia Zuoyi disliked, otherwise he wouldn't have thought of improving it.

However, small manor owners, poor commoners or slaves who have no extra money have no conditions to choose extravagant clothes.

Especially civilians and slaves, they still need to live on a full stomach, food, clothing, housing and transportation, clothes to wear, food to eat, and a place to live.

The colors of their clothes are mostly black, gray and white, with no decoration and no characteristics.

Some garments are even simply a robe with three extra holes for the head and two arms to pass through.

The market for women's clothing is unimaginably huge.

Women love beauty by nature, if there is a new and beautiful clothing at a cheaper price, which woman can withstand the temptation?

Since so many costume design books have been redeemed, the reputation value cannot be wasted.

These books are professional books for designers to study. Many trend-leading styles that have appeared in the past are broken down with examples, which can let designers learn and inspire creative inspiration.

Xia Zuoyi is not a designer.

But he has a normal understanding of beauty, and he has also watched catwalk shows in modern times. The aesthetics has always been online, and the backward clothing design on the Layi Laxi mainland is still okay. Maybe many designers will come out in the future .

— Designers are tailors.

He felt that this sentence was very correct.

Xia Zuoyi told Boris her thoughts.

As the leader of the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce, Boris naturally has a keen business intuition. He could perceive the huge business opportunities contained in it, so he asked about cooperation.

Xia Zuoyi: "First of all, I need the cloth dyeing technique of the Anas Empire, Boris, you have to give me this technique for free."
