Chapter 1232: Transforming the Logistics

"Hoh?" The king and the ministers looked curious. They wondered what kind of plan Noel had. The king nodded. "Elaborate."

Livia nodded. "First of all, the Ardagan family is planning to expand to our kingdom, specifically the Golden Road.

"By expanding to the Greenwood Kingdom, the Ardagan family will be able to expand their business as well as the reach of other merchants. This will allow their venture to become even bigger, which will be more attractive to merchants."

A minister stepped forward and said, "I believe this is a good idea, not only for the Ardagan family but also for the Greenwood Kingdom.

"Right now, they don't have a lot of justification to import the trains. If we do it, the Ardagan family will be held accountable or framed.

"And if we engage in a trade like this, we will be able to give that justification to the Ardagan family.

"As her highness said earlier, the merchants would see this as an opportunity. Normally, they would have a hard time importing or exporting items.

"But if we establish the trade like this, with such a large quant.i.ty of items from the Greenwood Kingdom flowing into the Muivell Kingdom and vice versa, the tax will be quite high. And a lot of merchants will be happy.

"In addition, the train will be coming to this kingdom as well. Since this is the future, we can actually think of it as a way to establish the foundation of the train in this place as well. In the future, we can actually use the train to increase the logistic speed of our kingdom.

"That's why I don't think it's a good idea to propose this trade."

Other ministers and the king contemplated. They couldn't help but agree once they heard the benefits. It would increase the economy. In fact, they might acquire a train for their local use.

Still, there were some doubts, especially because of the Muivell Kingdom's condition.

That was when Livia added, "Actually, that's not all. I mentioned earlier that the Zaecuria Kingdom and the Atracaeca Kingdom will benefit from this as well, right?"

"Hmm? Are you implying that if we reject them, Marquis Noel will simply work together with those two kingdoms, Your Highness?" Another minister asked.

Livia shook her head. "In fact, the Ardagan family wishes the Greenwood Kingdom to be the pioneer. As you mentioned earlier, the train will be the future. All goods will flow much faster, which means…"

"!!!" They all suddenly realized what she was talking about.

"I see. So this is an experiment as well as the foundation to create a connection with the Zaecuria Kingdom and the Atracaeca Kingdom. In the future, we can not only procure items from the Muivell Kingdom but also the other two kingdoms. Once the road is completed, everyone is connected.

In other words, we can actually do something we have never thought possible before, especially due to the resources that we can't easily procure.

"Right now, we have a hard time procuring items from the Atracaeca Kingdom, but by using this method, we will be able to do it… maybe in a few years, depending on how much we plan to progress."

Once they heard about it, their opinions about the road changed completely.

That was when Livia dealt a killing blow. She raised a finger and said, "And this is just from the land transportation perspective.

"If we can succeed, we will know what we should do for future methods. A lot of goods are going bad because of the time it takes to transport them.

"However, what if we are able to procure items much faster? For example, not through the land, but…" Livia pointed up.

They couldn't help but raise their heads. Some looked at the ceiling, while others imagined the sky.

"The air?"

"Yes." Livia nodded with a serious expression. "Do you forget the cooperation we have with the Ardagan family right now?"

"The airs.h.i.+p!" One of the ministers shouted. It looked like he was the one in charge of the project. "That's right. The airs.h.i.+p is able to cross any type of terrain. I don't have the exact number yet, but the airs.h.i.+p can probably go from this place to the Atracaeca Kingdom's capital city in just two days."

"Two days?! Are you serious?" Another minister gasped. "Do you understand what that number means?"

"Of course I am. Can't you see how excited I am? Normally, it would take about two to three weeks. If we are able to reduce it to two days, we will be able to do things that were not possible before."

"The logistics will definitely change."

Livia smiled. It seemed that every minister thought it positively.

Only the king had a different thought. He was a bit skeptical since it was rare for Noel to suggest such a beneficial deal. He usually had his back on the wall before he suggested it, so he had to be careful.

"What does Noel Ardagan want from us?" The king asked.

Livia raised three fingers. "There are three things. The first is to become a pioneer. As Your Majesty knows, there are laws regarding the import and export. But they are rather vague.

"After all, they are usually used for different types of items and in a low amount.

"However, after trading with a company in the Zaecuria Kingdom and the Atracaeca Kingdom, he was able to purchase gla.s.s in high quant.i.ties. But because of that vague law, the process became difficult.

"By becoming the pioneer, we could transform that law for the future, which would simplify everything and allow logistics to propel the economy significantly."

"Oh?!" The ministers nodded in understanding. They thought, 'As expected of the Marquis Ardagan, he is farsighted.'

"The second reason is to make this law applicable not only for the ground but also the sky and the water. We have both airs.h.i.+ps and s.h.i.+ps. The trade can now be conducted not only from the sea but also from the sky. As such, creating this law would be necessary."

The ministers looked at each other. It was true that transforming the laws would be quite hard, but it was not possible. This was a long-term project.

Livia's expression turned solemn as she stated the third condition. "As for the last part… I think I can only say it to you, Your Majesty."
