Farming with Entries: From Lord to Emperor Chapter 788 - 361: Farewell, Little Stone Dragon (Part 3)

Luo De’s face turned serious, and he said earnestly, "I hope you, as the president of the Imperial Comrce Association, will be responsible for the allocation of resources across the Empire."

"My lord..."

Makuru instantly stood up, stunned in place.

The title "president of the Imperial Comrce Association" made Makuru’s heart tremble with each word.

Now, these three words were combined and placed as a title above his head, and Makuru suddenly panicked.

"Thank you for your trust!"

Makuru hurriedly bowed in salute, instinctively saying, "But I, I, my capabilities are humble, and I’m afraid I won’t et your expectations..."

"You were able to proactively help those two towns allocate resources without charging additional fees, which shows your sense of responsibility is sufficient."

Luo De said slowly with a smile, "And your capability in trade naturally goes without saying, as you have enough practical experience."

"As for other aspects, they can be honed over ti."

"Now, you only need to tell whether you are willing to accept this position."

After saying this, Luo De casually added,

"I will prepare an estate for you in the Empire’s Rock City, and your children will be able to enroll in the Imperial Academy."

Although the Imperial Academy is currently fictional, it will inevitably be established to continuously provide talent for the Empire.

"It is my honor to serve you!"

Makuru, full of excitent, knelt on one knee, "Since you trust , I am willing to give everything for you!"

"If that’s the case, let’s settle it this way."

Luo De stood up and personally helped Makuru to his feet.

"My lord, what should my work entail next..."

Excited, Makuru worked hard to stabilize his emotions.

His voice trembled slightly as he asked, "Will it be the sa as before?"

"No, the Imperial trade convoy is only a part of it."

Luo De thought for a mont and explained in detail, "Additionally, the basic work of the Imperial Comrce Association is to manage interregional and interprovincial trade."

"Managing and inspecting trade convoy permits and planning trade routes."

Luo De said solemnly, "In the future, not just anyone can beco a rchant; a permit is needed."

"This matter will be coordinated with you by Advisory Councils across various areas, but so major rchants will require your lead."

"Additionally, you must formulate rules for the exchange of resources in various areas and control and set the prices of resources."

"Moreover, prevent so rchants from monopolizing goods, hoarding resources, and the like."

"Oh, right."

Luo De reminded, "The Military Procurent Departnt will also need assistance from the Imperial Comrce Association."

Upon hearing this, Makuru was completely stunned, his mind montarily engulfed in confusion.

"No worries, I’ll provide you with a checklist."

Luo De patted Makuru’s shoulder, "Besides this, there will be many more things you will be responsible for."

Luo De wasn’t exaggerating.

In the future, Luo De also planned to establish a transportation team for extraordinary resources, and once Makuru’s comrce association was set up, it would undoubtedly serve this purpose.

"Don’t worry, I’ll grant you maximum authority."

Luo De, seeing Makuru’s bewildered expression, suggested, "You can bring along anyone you find useful. You can also invite those friends of yours whom you think have talent."

"Even if they are forr nobles, you can recruit them."

As Luo De ntioned, capability can be cultivated.

What Luo De most wanted now was to place people with a sense of responsibility whom he trusted in these key positions.

"Thank you for your understanding and trust."

Makuru breathed a sigh of relief and bowed in salute.

Though still confused, he now felt a sense of direction.

"My lord, actually... I think Lord Lawrence would be more suitable."

Makuru actively suggested, "If he were to be the president of the Imperial Comrce Association, I would be willing to assist him."

"No."

Luo De refused without hesitation, saying flatly, "Lawrence and his stingy head, I have other plans for him."
