Chapter 247 Gao Wen's Daily Work
Gawain sat in the study of the lord's mansion, watching the latest reports from Kant and Leslie.
More than half of the report was about the establishment of trade routes. The one he valued, Patrick, had already shown his worth. With the efforts of the "merchant scholar", the southern merchants who had traded with Kant had already It was connected in series by 6 continuations, and in the process, a large number of merchants were brought under the command of Patrick - he did not pay much money for this, but paid for it with alchemy potion in stock, and made it in a short time. A considerable number of merchants voluntarily became distributors of "Cecil Potion" and let them take the potion on the road.
Due to the nature of such merchants walking between territories, they often deal with people such as mercenaries - low-level mercenaries with low fees are willing to accept the employment of merchants to help merchants drive away robbers and beasts on the road, In the process, the cheap and effective Cecil healing potion entered the sight of these mercenaries who were not very well-funded. &1t;i>&1t;/i>
No one is stingy when it comes to protecting their own lives - a potion that can cure disease and wound infections and a weak healing potion that can effectively stop bleeding add up to less than three silver coins, even the most desolate mercenary can. Affordable, so before the merchants arrived at their destination, the healing potion produced by Cecil had already begun to circulate among the mercenaries throughout the south.
Mercenaries who often go out on adventures and are often injured and need to be healed will be the original and most stable source of consumers for Cecil's healing potions.
On the other side, Leslie led a new order for mining equipment, as well as a letter hoping that Cecil would send a few more "magic net technicians" to help them expand the magic net.
Gawain looked at the handwritten letter from Viscount Andrew Leslie, and a smile slowly appeared on his face.
The first group of technicians sent to Leslie Land helped the Tanzanian mine to lay the basic magic net, so that the mine used the powerful magic engine to pull the minecart and smash the ore. The Viscount put these Before the production efficiency of the magic machinery was in place, he actually had no need to further expand the magic net - now he hopes that Gawain will send another group of magic net technicians over, which means that Mr. Viscount has already tasted great things from the magic net. sweetness. &1t;i>&1t;/i>
What will he do? Perhaps it is to spread the magic net in one's own castle, or it may cover the entire mine, more likely... I want to take this opportunity to learn the technique of laying magic net.
In any case, it was within Gawain's expectations.
He called the technical person in charge of laying the magic net—originally a rune craftsman from the capital, but now he had become a "naturalized talent" who was determined to stay in this territory—and explained to the He led the team to go to Tanzania again, and after explaining the task, he reminded: "According to my estimation, Viscount Leslie may try to bribe you this time, so that you can use the technical key to laying the magic net. tell him……"
The technical person in charge suddenly looked serious: "I will never be shaken by money, Lord!"
"No, I ask you to accept the bribe," Gawain shook his head, and the words he said shocked the technical person in front of him, "Of course, you have to be a little more tangled and difficult."&1t;i>&1t;/i>
"Sir...what does this mean?"
"The magic net is a very simple thing, and it will be learned sooner or later, so I don't mind spreading the magic net technology, but I have to charge some tuition fees," Gawain said while writing a reply to Viscount Andrew. , "Raise the price of the acquisition a little bit, the technology is valuable."
After the technical director left, Gawain called Hetty again.
As soon as the latter entered the study, Gawain said bluntly: "Notify the 'Population Introduction Specialist' in Tanzania Town, there will be a large number of cheap mine slave laborers and unemployed freedmen miners in Tanzang Town in the next period of time.
Try to recruit these people as much as possible, our factory is very short of people. "
Heidi looked confused: "Ah? How did you know, ancestor?"
"Viscount Andrew bought a lot of mining equipment, and at least two-thirds of the miners are going to lose their jobs," Gawain said with a smile, "according to the custom of traditional aristocrats, they won't raise unusable labor in vain—more What's more, there is no extra land around the town of Tanzania to absorb the population released by the mine." &1t;i>&1t;/i>
After Heidi also left, Gawain finally finished dealing with the affairs at hand, he stretched a lot, ready to rest for a while.
But at this moment, he suddenly heard a slight clicking sound on the windowsill, followed by a crisp sound of the spring and the mechanical structure being released, Gao Wenshu turned his head and immediately saw someone on the windowsill. The mechanism is bouncing high!
The automatic anti-amber warning device works!
Without saying a word, Gawain stretched out his hand and held down the head of a half-elf who was in a state of embarrassment and fell from the windowsill, and his body emerged from the shadow state and showed its original shape: "You don't go out!"
Amber rushed up and said, "Are you the one who puts mouse traps on the windowsill like this!!"
Gawain pressed the opponent's head and easily suppressed all the resistance of the girl: "What mouse trap, that is an early warning device - can you be caught if you don't go through the window?"&1t;i>&1t;/i>
Amber stalked his neck to maintain his final dignity as a thief: "I didn't get caught! I was just startled!"
I don't know what dignity she has to maintain...
Gawain glanced at the shameless half-elf: "How long have you been listening outside the window?"
"Since you shamelessly asked the magic net technician to corrupt money for you," Amber opened his mouth and came, and he said with a look of admiration, "Hey, old Zongzi, I see that you can get along very well even if you are not a noble. Okay, you're a jerk... Okay, okay, I won't talk about it..."
Gao Wen put away the fist that was about to be knocked down, looked at the girl up and down, and then began to talk about business: "I heard that you brought a lot of people back?"
"A hundred or so bastards, all of whom I knew back then, but that's not all," Amber said with a smug look, "I tell you, there are many more, but they are all located in several nearby territories. Come on, it's winter now, and those bastards are all hiding in the black tavern and feeding themselves to death. They have to be picked out one by one - but then I don't have to go in person, I have already brought in the ones I trusted the most back then. people, and then let them run to pull people." &1t;i>&1t;/i>
Gawain looked at Amber with some surprise: "If you calculate it like this... You were quite powerful back then?"
"Actually, these people can't all be regarded as 'my forces'," Amber knew that Gawain was a layman in this regard, and explained with a smile, "There is no stable organization for this kind of thugs, and everyone makes some money in the streets and alleys. To make a living, get together in the gutter to meet each other, it is just a loose group to keep warm, because I ran around in many places, so I know more people. This is a sparse net, I will help you pull it up It's just a few knots, but as long as these people are willing to contribute, they can help you find more people."
Gawain looked stunned: "Then I understand. Is there anything I need to do?"
"Of course," Amber nodded, "I'm going to send my most trusted people to assemble people in other territories, but you have to know how troublesome it will be for them to cross other nobles' territories-they need supporting documents and sureties to Proving that they were walking around on the orders of Duke Gawain Cecil would prevent them and their men from being hanged by local nobles along the way." &1t;i>&1t;/i>
In this era, people are tied to the land where they grow up, and every commoner is the private property of the nobles. Ordinary people are hardly allowed to leave or enter any territory at will, otherwise there is a risk of being hanged ——If you want to become a businessman, a mercenary, or an adventurer, you need to obtain documents from the nobles. Even if you have these documents, if the signer is not strong enough, the person holding the documents may still be punished by the nobles along the way. The harassment and extortion of soldiers (in fact, this is almost the main source of income for many aristocratic private soldiers), this is the status quo of this era.
But if they not only have supporting documents, but also the signatories of the documents are of sufficient weight in the whole aristocratic system, then they will be able to flow unimpeded.
Duke Gawain Cecil is no longer the general guardian of the South, but his name is still very important in this land. At least in the case of no conflict of interest, the conservative nobles must show this name. Enough reverence is enough. This kind of reverence for the upper nobles is also an important part of the nobles to maintain their stature, so anyone who holds a pass signed by Gawain Cecil can travel unimpeded in the southern border, and basically no need Worrying about being harassed and extorted by nobles along the way—this is also an important guarantee for Gawain’s business route to be smoothly rolled out. &1t;i>&1t;/i>
Gawain agreed to Amber's request without any hesitation: "No problem. But you must ensure that the people who get the pass are reliable, and before they leave, you must let them understand their mission and the importance of keeping a low profile, I don't want those people to use my pass to make a big splash and spread the word to the world."
Amber giggled: "Don't worry about this, all I brought out are old Youzi, they can't do anything else, low-key admitting that their grandson is better than anyone else, and they can walk like a refugee with the Duke's pass. You might as well let them die."
Gao Wen: "..."
I always feel that this is nothing to be proud of. Why does Amber say these words as if she saved the world...
At this time, Amber began to sigh again: "The passport signed by the Duke... If it is the kind of unconditional travel document, God knows how much money this thing can get on the black market. You are probably the first person in history to sign a rogue. This kind of document is a big nobility." &1t;i>&1t;/i>
"I'm not the first," Gawain waved his hand upon hearing this, "When we first took down the northern region, Charlie alone signed more than 100 certificates and permit documents for the local mountain residents. From the current point of view, the northern mountain people were all uncivilized barbarians, not even gangsters - but they are the ancestors of the current northern mountain army."
"Wow - you mean to let me lead a regiment in the future?!"
Gawain glanced at the half-elf who was crawling along the pole, and raised his hand: "Tell me, do I just knock or go through the process?"
amber:"……"
