Chapter 196 Caravan

The rising sun brings new vitality to the new day.

Political officer, no, Wilson, who had been promoted to political officer, got up early.

After he quickly washed up, he took only two pieces of bread and hurriedly left Swamp Castle with his assistant, ready to start a new day's work.

The air was humid and even had a faint smell of earth, but Wilson felt very fresh.

He took a deep breath and let the swamp air enter his chest, it was intoxicating.

"Good morning, Administrative Officer!"

Selin, who was waiting outside the castle gate, came forward and greeted Wilson respectfully.

A few days ago, Luo Ning dismissed the administrative officer of Sailin Swamp Town and prepared to make him an ordinary citizen.

However, during the subsequent inspection of the territory and understanding of the government affairs of Marsh Town, Sailin's professionalism won Luo Ning's favor again.

In addition, in the past few days, he had devoted himself to helping Wilson take over the government affairs here, and also won Wilson's praise. Only then did Luoning let him continue to handle the government affairs.

However, Selin was not reinstated and temporarily assumed the role of "Government Clerk", one level higher than an assistant. The specific work was subject to Wilson's arrangements.

"Mr. Selling, Mr. Wilson is no longer a political officer."

The assistant on the side reminded in a low voice: "Yesterday evening, the lord appointed Mr. Wilson as the political affairs director of Wubei Territory."

Government affairs chief?

Sailin was a little surprised. He had never heard of this official title, but based on the meaning of the assistant's words, he knew that this position should be an upgraded version of the political officer.

"Congratulations, sir!" He quickly said seriously and congratulated.

Wilson smiled shyly, "This is all the love of the lord. It is your kindness and trust that have made me what I am today!"

He turned and bowed to the castle, "Praise your lord!"

The boss took the lead in saluting, and the others followed suit.

Wilson actually enjoyed this feeling a little. He didn't expect that one day he would have a younger brother by his side. It was the wisest decision in his life to muster up the courage to apply for a political officer position in Shanlin Fort.

After coming back to his senses, Wilson and his men slowly left Swamp Castle, saying as they walked:

"Selin, you have good abilities and are very familiar with the political affairs of Marsh Town. Although you are now a minor official, as long as you serve the Lord sincerely, it is not impossible to serve as the political officer of Marsh Town again."

Sailin shook his head bitterly, "The lord will not let me be a political officer. After all, I once served Baron Leisen."

"My lord is kind!"

Wilson emphasized: "Selin, don't look at Master Luo Ning from a worldly perspective. Do you know that Knight Tom who went to Wrangler City?"

Sailin thought about it for a moment, then nodded, "I remember that he was one of the first knights to come to Swamp Town with the lord."

"right!"

Wilson said: "Tom once did things for Leisen, and even drew a sword against the master, but the master not only did not kill him, but gave him the opportunity to follow him."

"Now Tom not only has the trust of adults, he is even valued by adults."

Having said this, he looked at Sailin and said earnestly: "So, work hard, the opportunity is right in front of you, it depends on whether you can seize it."

Celine's eyes flashed, he didn't expect Tom's experience to be so exciting. Moreover, isn't this similar to what happened to him?

Tom can be reused, so why not him?

"I will!"

He took Wilson at his word.

"OK!"

Wilson laughed and said: "Then let us allocate the craftsmen in Swamp Town according to the list today!"

On the other side, Luo Ning, who had gotten up and washed up, was enjoying breakfast.

Bread, milk, boiled prawns from Marsh Town and fresh vegetables. Although the taste is average, it is better because of its balanced nutrition and eating habits.

"Master, do you need me to notify Galen and Bella from Hillwood Town?"

Chahar asked softly while respectfully handing over the towel for wiping his mouth.

Although Swamp Castle has recruited new servants, it has not recruited personal maids and maids, so Chahar has been waiting on them for the past two days.

But Chahar was also busy with things during the day and was often away. He was worried that no one would take good care of the lord.

"No need, I'm going back to Shanlin Town in a few days."

Ronin took the towel and wiped his mouth, "I heard that Kallus' iron-making technology and Jim's kiln have made progress, but I haven't even had time to see them yet."

He handed the towel back, "Is the one named Pearson here?"

"He has arrived a long time ago. I have asked him to wait in the living room for a long time." Chahar replied.

Pearson, a lean and tall middle-aged man, was waiting restlessly in the living room.

Although the servant of Swamp Castle poured him a glass of water, he did not dare to drink it easily because he did not know what the new lord wanted him to come here for.

To hold him accountable for serving Leisen?

Or, like Selin, so that he can continue to serve Swamp Castle?

Pearson hopes it's the latter.

Over the years, he has become accustomed to traveling around and selling with the Swamp Castle caravan. If he were asked to give up this business and instead pick up a hoe to cultivate the land, to be honest, he would not be able to adapt.

The sound of footsteps sounded, and Pearson stood up like a spring. He turned his head and looked at the young man walking towards him nervously and expectantly.

Silver hair and black eyes, the symbol of the Wushan family.

He bowed deeply: "I have met the Viscount!"

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Pearson."

Ronin raised his hand, "Please sit down."

Pearson sat down nervously, his back straight, and asked carefully: "I wonder what instructions the lord has notified me to come here?"

"Don't be nervous."

Ronin's tone was very gentle. He knew that many people in the town felt pressured in front of him. After all, he did not use peaceful means to replace Leisen.

"I heard that you have been leading the caravan in Swamp Town before. I want to hear about your experience."

Pearson secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the lord was not here to cause trouble for him, and he seemed to smell the opportunity here.

Next, Pearson talked about his work content over the years.

There are basically only two types of things sold in Swamp Town: black buffalo and aquatic products.

For the sale of black buffalo, Leisen is generally responsible for the lead. After all, only nobles can afford and buy in bulk.

Pearson is mainly responsible for transportation and care to ensure that the things can be delivered to customers smoothly.

For the sale of aquatic products, it is different.

High-end fish and shrimp are monopolized by the Green family in Lake Town, and the targets of the smuggled goods in Swamp Town are generally ordinary people living in the town.

Roning couldn't help but wonder if Leisen had business considerations when he attacked the Green family before?

Pearson is mainly responsible for the sale of aquatic products. According to him, he has established cooperation with many merchants from other places over the years.

Swamp Town can sell both fresh and dried aquatic products.

"Sir, according to previous statistics, Swamp Town has three or four hundred gold coins in its account for smuggled goods such as fish and shrimp every year."

After introducing his work, Pearson decided to recommend himself, "Swamp Town needs a caravan, and I am willing to serve you!"

Roning nodded with great satisfaction.

Although he has a lot of money in his hands now, he doesn't earn much from business.

Swamp Town has three or four hundred gold coins in its account every year just by selling aquatic products, which is very considerable for a baron.

Roning will naturally not give up this income.

"I do need a caravan."

Roning looked at Pearson, "I also recognize your ability, so I think we can talk about the remuneration of you and your caravan members next."

The other party has a ready-made sales channel, so Roning doesn't need to give up Pearson and rebuild a caravan.

As for whether the other party will embezzle the sales money, there is actually no need to think too much about this issue.

There are records before each shipment, even if the other party can get a little extra money, it is the other party's ability.

Business and sales are not so clean.

For Roning, as long as there is enough money in his account.

But there is still one thing to consider.

Pearson is just an ordinary person, and his men are also ordinary people.

If you transport valuables, such as selling black buffalo in bulk, or selling silk, porcelain and other things in the later stage, it is not good without a knight to escort the team.

"When the time is right, you need to find a professional knight to serve as a transport officer or something like that." (End of this chapter)
