Chapter 1332 Employment Relationship

A horse team came out of the camp, and Grad and Meese immediately ran back, picking up dirt and grass clippings on the grass with the soles of their feet, and ran towards the village against the moist sea breeze.

"Brother, brother, they are coming!"

Brad calmed down and asked everyone to calm down, "How many people?"

"There were about ten people, all riding horses."

And horses? This is a luxury product that only large tribes can have.

"Don't be afraid, everyone, just let us see what they are going to do." Brad took the lead and stood at the entrance of the village with his people.

Cai He smiled when he saw that no one was leaving. Although this village is small, it is close to the coast. If we can establish a good relationship, we can set up a trading location here in the future.

There were still thirty or forty meters left, and Cai He dismounted.

A very young man walked over, probably about the same age as his brother, but his demeanor made him look like a big shot. Brad saw the other person dismounting and coming over and breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the other person was not a bad person after all.

"Hello!" Cai He shouted: "We have no ill intentions, I want to make a deal with you."

"Trade?" Brad thought that there probably wasn't anything easy to trade in his village, but the other party should have a lot of good stuff. If he got some, he might be able to make money by selling them elsewhere.

The tribes here basically used coins from countries such as Rome and Macedonia.

Seeing that Cai He had already walked up to him, Brad asked, "Are the things in our house left behind by you?"

"Yes, there are potatoes in it. It can satisfy your hunger. Add some salt and it will taste better." Cai He likes to eat potatoes.

"Potato?" I've never heard of it, but he actually gave precious food as a gift. The other party was really generous: "My name is Brad, and I'm from this village."

"Cai He, the governor of the Great Qin Fleet." Cai He said.

He still didn't know the country and official position. Anyway, Brad had little knowledge, but he knew that he was lucky. Now that he met these people, he might be able to become rich and go to a more prosperous place to enjoy.

Brad didn't have anything to greet Cai He and his group here, so he could only invite them to his home to sit down first.

Cai He immediately asked people to prepare some food and drink. There was no point in just sitting there.

Brad found that only Cai He could understand him: "Are you also a Celtic?"

"No, I'm from Qin. I came from a very far away place. It would take dozens of days by boat."

"But you can understand me."

"That's because I have a very powerful master who knows a lot." When it comes to Dulan, Cai He always has a look of admiration on his face.

As he was talking, suddenly there was a fragrance coming in from outside. Several of Brad's friends had already gathered around the fire. The Qin soldiers set up a stove in the open space of the tribe, cooked some meat in it, added salt and some spices from the American continent, and the mixed taste was simply breathtaking.

Brad said it was embarrassing to see his peers drooling.

"Brother, come here quickly. It smells so good. Come here, I'll help you get a good seat." Grad was just growing up and had a big appetite. He couldn't bear to smell something so fragrant.

I don't know my brother, and I think that if I can chat and laugh with other people's leaders, I will be a big shot in the future. It's outrageous that my brother should be so embarrassed and even compete for a seat just for a bite to eat. Although Brad was also very greedy, he still wanted to save face in front of Cai He, so he kept restraint. However, his image was ruined by these people.

According to Brad, Cai He already knew that there were no big cities nearby, only some large tribes. I also learned that this is Britain, not a continent but a huge island.

However, according to the world map, Cai He knew that he was only one step away from Europe, so he decided to stop and repair.

"Sir, you are really amazing. These people smell so bad, yet you are still willing to be in the same room with them. Don't they even take a shower?" Zhang San on the side couldn't help but say in Qin dialect.

Cai He glared at Zhang San: "You are the only one who loves cleanliness." "We are here to communicate this time, not to make enemies, so we must be polite to everyone and show the magnanimity of our great Qin country of etiquette. Even if Their living habits are different from ours, and we cannot discriminate against them.”

"I know I was wrong." Zhang San immediately admitted his mistake.

After eating, these young Celts were immediately overwhelmed. They didn't know that meat could be so delicious. And the potato chunks inside are also extremely tasty, making even the soup taste better.

Meat, potatoes and seasonings are simply a big killer in this era. Gods will kill gods and Buddhas. Several tribal youths vowed to never live without this kind of delicacies. To eat these delicacies, they have to think Find a way to mess with Cai He.

Brad was the first to come up with the idea of ​​working for Cai He: "Hire us. Whether it's fighting or doing hard work, we can do it."

Mercenaries have existed since ancient times, both in the East and the West, but they are more popular in the West. Of course, it is not yet the peak of mercenary development, but mercenaries already exist.

Because many lords did not have enough financial resources to maintain a standing army without fighting, they would seek mercenaries when fighting. In this era, the enfeoffment system in Europe had not yet been perfected. Basically, several city-states came together to form a big power.

At this time, ancient Rome had not really become a hegemon, so naturally there was no emperor. The first emperor in Europe should be Octavian of ancient Rome. Although Octavian's adoptive father Caesar was already a dictator, he set an example for Octavian.

So the emperors of later Europe were also called: 'Augustus' and 'Caesar'. Augustus is because Octavian's full name is 'Gaius Octavius ​​Augustus', and Caesar's full name is 'Gaius Julius Caesar'.

Augustus and Caesar are the surnames of two powerful men, and later they were used to refer to European emperors. For example, the Tsar of Russia actually means Caesar, but it is a pity that it was translated into another flavor by the profound Chinese language.

However, the emperors of Europe are not hereditary, but crowned by the church. It is more like a title that declares the legal right to rule over European territory, just like if you control this village, you will be given the title of village chief. After being crowned as an emperor, you can confidently say that you are the legitimate heir of ancient Rome and have been the overlord of Europe since ancient times.

Of course, more often, Europe still belongs to the king.

It is now more than 200 years BC, and it will take more than a hundred years for the European emperor to appear. The various forces in Europe still only have professional armies in strong city-states, and mercenaries are no longer a new thing.

Cai He thought about it and thought it would be good to hire some locals, because it was difficult for the Qin soldiers to communicate with the locals: "Then I will need your help in the future." Cai He said that he would use silk and porcelain as wages.

Brad knew that his wonderful life was about to begin, and he held on to the thigh. His first task was to take items to other tribes for trading, and the target of exchange was various native plants and animals.
