Yu Rong nodded. "That's right. The two countries, Saros and Ilante, are rich in gemstones. Saros is rich in minerals and crystals, and it also makes glass handicrafts."
The Elante region is rich in minerals and gemstones, which are used to make jewelry and accessories that are sold to different countries.
It could be said that Saros and Ilante amassed their wealth and power thanks to these gems; the minerals were the lifeblood of their economies.
Anle paused for a moment, then lowered her eyes, looking thoughtful.
"We definitely can't get the passes from the other two countries, and it's impossible for us to get the pass from the Apocalypse Empire either."
However—"She doesn't need to go abroad to find merchants to buy these precious gems and items and ship them back to the country to sell; she can simply plant them in her own garden."
Anle raised her small face and stared at Yu Rong.
Do you have sales channels?
Yu Rong remained silent for two seconds, seemingly understanding what Anle meant.
"You want to sell gems to generate revenue for the operation of Golden City?"
Anle smiled, his eyes narrowing. "Not bad. If this can earn us enough operating funds for Jincheng, then of course we should do it."
She can obtain gemstone resources, but she lacks sales channels. These things are so valuable that they definitely won't sell in town.
“Jincheng originally had an auction house, but after the Luo family left, the auction house in Jincheng naturally could not continue to operate.”
If you want to sell them, you can take them to Red City, Green City, or Blue City. The closer the auction house is to the capital, the more valuable the items will be.
"I see. Then you can make a trip for me in a couple of days. There's no need to go near the capital. Just find a nearby city to sell it to." Anle considered Yu Rong's original identity and didn't want Yu Rong to go near the capital.
Yu Rong paused for a moment. Had she just mentioned gemstones? Could it be that she wanted…?
Is she able to produce it?
"In the capital, what kind of gemstones are most popular?"
"You've been there, you should know a lot about it, right? Can you tell me about it?" Anle leaned back in her high chair, one arm propped on the backrest, and crossed her legs as she asked Yu Rong.
"The most valuable item is jade. As far as I know, the former empress carried a piece about the size of a thumb. It was of good quality, a medium grade. I heard that the late emperor spent 100,000 gold coins to buy it at an auction house in the capital as a birthday gift for the former empress."
However, in recent years, crystal ornaments have become popular, and women from noble families generally love this crystal clear mineral.
Therefore, the value of this crystal is becoming increasingly precious, and its price is constantly rising. It is now showing signs of reaching a value equivalent to jade.
Anle nodded. "Hehe, I understand."
By the way, did you sell that cartload of medicinal herbs you brought over a few days ago? You sold them to this disaster relief center. You bought them for 1,000 taels, and you're now reselling them for 2,000 taels.
"This stuff is only worth something right now because of the shortage of medicinal herbs. Once the epidemic here is over, those herbs will be worthless."
Yu Rong's eyelids twitched slightly. He was truly a natural businessman; he made a fortune of a thousand taels in the blink of an eye.
"Oh, by the way, why don't you go to my mother's place?"
I heard from my fourth sister that Mother had mentioned you to her. I was so sleepy at the time that I didn't have time to tell my mother about you. It was my fourth sister who told my mother that you had gone out to run errands for me.
If my mother asks, just say you went out to inquire about the prices of medicinal herbs for me.
We mustn't let my mother know what we've done.
Yu Rong nodded knowingly and climbed out of the window again.
Anle watched Yu Rong climb out of the window, hesitant to speak.
She really wanted to say, "Can't we just use the front door openly? Why do you always have to climb through the window for me? It's like I'm doing something wrong."
After closing the windows and locking the door, Anle went into the garden to plant crystals.
...
This pandemic made Anle a fortune, earning him an extra thousand taels of silver, along with his possession of Jincheng.
However, the two thousand taels of silver he had were simply a drop in the ocean when it came to rebuilding Jincheng; it wasn't even enough to fill a gap in the city's defenses.
However, the epidemic was brought under control and slowed down considerably. Within half a month, the entire city of Jincheng had settled down.
Although food and lodging are still problems, at least the illness is over.
For Jin Cheng, this was a win-win situation.
The fighting between the two sides in Jincheng caused a great uproar throughout the city, and everyone knew about it.
The story begins with Anle and his group reaching an agreement with King Islay.
King Islair issued an order to send troops to take over Jincheng and deal with the epidemic there. They fought against the troops of the Kingdom of Kro who were originally stationed in Jincheng.
Because Anle and his group were the only hope for the Kingdom of Islaile, King Islaile truly put his heart into sending a full 10,000 troops to garrison Jin City.
The Kingdom of Kro only dispatched 5,000 soldiers to guard the area, with no intention of sending troops. They were only there to suppress the unarmed civilians and did not require a large force. Therefore, this person certainly did not have as many soldiers as the Kingdom of Islaile.
The army of the Kingdom of Kro, which was guarding the city of Jin, was annihilated by the army of the Kingdom of Islail. The king of the Kingdom of Kro was furious and immediately sent troops to the Kingdom of Islail. War broke out between the Kingdom of Islail and the Kingdom of Kro.
This time, the once formidable Kingdom of Kro suffered a crushing defeat, falling victim to the massive ranged weapons of the Kingdom of Islail.
Following Anle's suggestion, the weapons should focus on bombarding the royal city, striking directly at the heart of the enemy nation, and severely damaging the royal palace of the Kingdom of Kro.
When King Islay sent his troops to the Golden City, he also dispatched an elite army to sneak into the royal city of the Kingdom of Kro.
When news of a sudden fire in the rear of the Kingdom of Kro and a heavy blow to the capital reached the front-line troops, the already panicked and disoriented army, already shaken by the long-range artillery, was thrown into complete disarray and its morale plummeted.
Taking advantage of the situation, the Kingdom of Islail launched a fierce attack, fighting an unprecedented, astonishing, and brilliant counterattack that shocked all other nations.
The Kingdom of Kro surrendered in a single battle.
The Kingdom of Islail's status rose rapidly, becoming a nation renowned among the great powers for its superior weaponry.
"How is that possible? The size of the Islael Kingdom's army is like the difference between a sparrow and a falcon compared to the size of the Klo Kingdom's army."
This battle should have been an overwhelming victory, how could we have lost to the army of the Kingdom of Islail?
As soon as Anle entered the dining hall, she heard her cousin Qiao Zhili's bewildered and shocked question.
Anle paused at the sound as she stepped across the threshold, then casually strode over to Qiao Qiuniang's side.
