The market in Changhe Town.

Even though it was already evening, the market was still very lively.

Unlike Foglong City, the merchants here basically don't hawk to solicit business.

Because the market in Changhe Town is very large, the stores are not like stalls along the street like other cities.

Basically every shop here is a caravan camp, and the shops are all shopping malls surrounded by horse-drawn carriages.

It's a bit like a supermarket and a bit like a wholesale market.

The caravan that brought Anson and the others over was dealing in coconut wine and art.

Yes, wine and art are two completely different commodities.

Because this is a group of merchants traveling between Changhe Town and Wulong City.

In the market of Changhe Town, sell coconut wine and buy handicrafts. In Wulong City, sell handicrafts and buy coconut wine.

The mercenaries in Changhe Town consume a lot of wine, and coconut wine from the west coast is very popular.

The ocean-going merchant ships on the west coast like the exquisite handicrafts made by the Noldor elves, which can only be obtained in the Long River Forest.

This is the trade route that can earn the highest profits from both ends.

But although the profits are huge, there are still not many caravans willing to do this - it is almost equivalent to crossing the entire continent, the journey is too long and too dangerous; and coconut wine is not easy to preserve in this era, and will turn sour in a few days; Noldor

Crafts are also hard to come by.

When Li Ang came to the caravan, a dozen of his big men were lying in the caravan camp, each holding a can of coconut wine.

No wonder they are willing to escort people without charging money...

Li Ang thought that these Mettenheim mercenaries were inspired by Anson and began to break away from low-level tastes and have noble sentiments, but it turned out that they were just for drinking...

The leaders of the caravan are a brother and sister, and they are from Buckley.

This made the communication between Li Ang and them much smoother. At least he was a fellow villager with this guy - even though Li Ang himself had never seen what Barkley looked like.

My sister's name is Leslie. She is a pretty businesswoman in the eyes of Europeans and Americans. She has some freckles on her face. She is cheerful and lively. She is very enthusiastic after knowing that Li Ang is the leader of this group of people.

"Your Excellency Li Ang, do you really not need a drink? Thanks to you, this coconut wine has not changed at all!"

Li Ang waved his hand. He drank a lot when he was in Wulong City. The natural coconut wine he had just collected tasted good, but the packaged coconut wine with messy seasonings was completely unattractive to him.

"Thank you for your kindness, Miss Leslie, I just came over to see these bastards...and buy some food by the way."

"Please don't punish them, they have helped me a lot... with purchasing, but where is your quartermaster, Mr. Li Ang?"

Quartermaster?

Isn't it because we haven't found the right person... Those people from Mettenheim are obviously not the material. Anson and Sarah are both well-educated, but neither of them are good at logistics.

Li Ang sighed: "It seems that no one in the team can do logistics work except me...and I will leave to fight on the border the day after tomorrow, so I don't have time to find the right person."

Leslie nodded sympathetically: "Logistics and military supplies are a very tedious task... I didn't expect you to handle it yourself."

But then, her eyes lit up again: "Is your team planning to enter the Long River Forest? You know, I am purchasing Noldor's handicrafts..."

Li Ang shook his head: "Unfortunately, I went to suppress the bandits, not to find the Noldor elves... However, if I encounter Noldor products, I will bring them to you. But now, my headache is with the Noldor elves.

Logistics support.”

Li Ang looked at the shy boy who had been silent next to Leslie, and his eyes returned to Leslie: "Your caravan can come from Fog Cage City to Changhe Town within a week. This is a rare ability -

—I have never heard of a caravan or army making such a journey. I think I can probably learn something from you?"

Leslie looked at Li Ang with a smile: "You are completely different from the high-ranking lords I have met... But you will leave the day after tomorrow, and you can't learn anything in such a short time, Mr. Li Ang."

Li Ang himself also knew that many things required accumulation of experience, so he nodded and kicked Klose, who was drunk and confused, with his toes, and planned to leave.

But Leslie stopped him: "Your Excellency Li Ang, if you are willing, I can indeed help temporarily. Such as purchasing supplies, preparing military supplies, preparing food and daily necessities, vehicles and baggage, and handling trophies... Of course

, I want to take a commission from it.”

"That would be great, Miss Leslie, I will write you a list of the members of my team..."

Li Ang called up the team list and started copying.

When he saw the lonely line of the 'Great Swordsman of Mettenheim', he planned to test his idea.

So he kicked Klose awake: "Klose, stand at attention! I now appoint you as the commando captain! Go and wake up all your people!"

Although Klose was a little confused, he still subconsciously stood at attention: "Yes! Sir!"

Then, the list really changed...

Anson, doctor;

Sarah, Foreign Service Officer;

Klose, commando captain;

Mercenary crossbowmen, 22/23;

Farmer,2/2;

Mettenheim Infantry, 1/12.

The number in front of the slash indicates the number of people currently fighting, and the number after it indicates the total number of people - the strong men have been drunk and are almost completely wiped out...

Li Ang remembered that when this group of tough men first joined the team, they were 'Mettenheim Adventurers', which was a polite name for the new recruits. But after retrieving their equipment at the pirate camp, they became 'Mettenheim Adventurers'.

Tom Infantry'.

This means that for soldiers to upgrade, they must not only rely on their skills and experience accumulation, but also need to change their equipment... This group of people were already skilled infantry, but during the shirtless period, they were not equipped by the system because they had no equipment.

Counted as new recruits.

The dinars that will be spent in the future will be lost in the sea.

The road is long...

To be honest, the logistics of dozens of people are not too complicated, but they are indeed very tedious.

Food supply, ordnance consumption, material transportation, welfare distribution, spoils processing...all kinds of trivial things.

Leslie will stay in Long River Town for a period of time to purchase Noldor crafts. During this period, she will become a part-time quartermaster and can help solve these matters. She can also help cash in the loot.

And she can provide vehicles for delivery. Even if Leon's team is stationed outside, she can ask the guys in the caravan to deliver goods to their door if necessary - according to Leslie, 'They are idle anyway, how much they can earn is

How many'.

What a qualified businessman.

Although she charges a commission when buying and selling things, and there is an additional fee for door-to-door delivery, such service is obviously of high quality, especially when Li Ang lacks quartermasters.

However, less than half of the gold coins in Leon's hand were gone - Leslie took away 300 dinars for shopping.

The money in hand can only last for about 20 days.

Fortunately, the next day, the bearded Ralph delivered the crossbows and building materials that Leon asked for without any compromise, and even twenty carpenters were required.

But these carpenters are on temporary loan, and according to Ralph, they will have to be returned when they are used up.

It seems that Ralph is indeed loyal to Count Auden.

Of course, it is also possible that he really cares about the position in Changhe Town. It is definitely not easy for a civilian to become the commander of the Changhe Town garrison...
