The great families of our city have built commercial networks that span the continent — agents in London, factors in Bruges, correspondents in Alexandria — so that the letters of exchange bearing our names pass as freely as coin in cities that have never seen our walls. By formalizing and expanding these networks under the protection of our constitutional government, we ensure that our merchants operate from a position of stability and trust that no prince-led rival can easily replicate. This reach of our Merchant Houses drives the revenue of every trade we conduct and opens the most distant and profitable markets to the goods our workshops produce.
