The city walls surrounding the town are only a little taller than a person. An adult can even climb in effortlessly. I really don’t know what the purpose of the Koreans in building such a wall is.
This place is more than thirty miles away from Quanzhou. Jiang Yanran regards this place as her base camp. She directs her mercenaries here to plunder everywhere, and also gathers the mercenaries here to plunder.
The property was then sent to Busan in a steady stream.
The town where the Koreans had completely fled became the command center and transit center of the mercenary group, and it became somewhat abnormally prosperous.
The mercenary squads of various mercenary regiments are not on missions all the time, and as the farther they can reach, the frequency of their missions becomes lower. The more prosperous areas near Quanzhou
The place has been cleaned up by them. If you want to gain more, you need to go further and take greater risks.
It must be that with this kind of risk, exchanging and selling the property that the mercenaries collected from various places in the camp is actually a good business that can kill time and make money at the same time. This kind of thing has never happened from top to bottom.
Prohibited.
Sean is one of those people who engages in exchange business, and even under his leadership, the emergence of this small market in the camp today is also due to him.
He is from the Principality of Cologne, and his coming to the East was purely an accident. In fact, being a mercenary in the Principality of Cologne is basically a promising job, but he doesn't like this kind of fighting and killing.
In his opinion, in life, all you get from fighting and killing is nothing more than gold coins, and the gold coins you can earn from killing and killing are not as many as the gold coins you can earn from doing business.
After going through the process of becoming a mercenary, accumulating gold coins to do business, going bankrupt, and becoming a mercenary again, he is now the deputy captain of the seventh squadron of the third brigade of the second mercenary regiment of Sihai Commercial Bank. His main job as deputy captain is
The task is to sell off the squadron's loot except for the portion turned over, and in the process of selling it, make a profit for everyone in the squadron.
He was very happy doing this business.
But there was one thing that he didn't quite understand.
In addition to these visible properties, the population of this country is actually a huge wealth. However, the upper echelons of the army strictly prohibit the plundering of the population, whether it is strong laborers or young women.
In his opinion, how much gold coins were wasted, and compared with transporting bulky property, these slaves who can move around on their own save much effort and effort.
He had said this to the Ming merchant in the camp countless times. The Ming merchant named Peng Rusong was a businessman from Busan. He came here with the mercenary group. He originally wanted to be a guide, but I don’t know why.
, and was actually allowed by the legion to purchase trophies, so this guy brought a group of Ming people to rob his business.
Sean didn't have any objections to this, but he just felt that the Legion could handle such a good thing by itself and let these Ming people make money, so he was somewhat unwilling to do so.
However, these days, he has become very familiar with this guy. Although this big Ming keeps saying that he is doing legitimate business, but with Sean's vision and experience, this guy may not be like himself.
It's so simple. As long as there is money to be made in this world, there is no business that this guy would not dare to do.
"What are these Koreans for? They farm the land, but they don't know how to do it. You've seen it when they fight. They don't know how to fight, even if they dig holes. With their sallow faces, I'm afraid they won't be able to earn enough food to feed them.
Come back, there is no use in thinking about this!"
The people from Ming Dynasty educated Sean earnestly and with the attitude of an experienced person.
"As for women, young women will always be useful. As long as they are shipped out, it is easy to exchange them for money!"
Sean refused to give up and tried to get more advice and experience from this guy.
"Have you asked your leader?" The merchant from Ming Dynasty looked at him with a faint smile: "If you are not afraid of death, you can do it, but I will never touch this matter!"
"Then forget it!" Sean was a little uninterested. He was already making money, so what's the point? He wasn't afraid of breaking the law, but he was not interested in losing his head after being caught.
He was very sure that if the eldest sister knew that he had done this, he would definitely give him a gallows. No, he didn't need the eldest sister to know. As long as the captain knew, he would be dead.
"Actually, if you are not interested in this little fight, there is no other way!"
The merchant of Ming Dynasty asked him intentionally or unintentionally: "Why do you have to sell the Koreans as slaves? Your army is so powerful, and the Korean army cannot defeat you. Find them some places, whether it is drying salt,
Farming or mining, just drive them to do it. You are from the Second Regiment, right? If your leader can negotiate with the Koreans and give your Second Regiment a city with hundreds of miles of land, wouldn't the money come pouring in?
?”
"You mean, fiefdom?"
Sean was stunned for a moment, and suddenly became confused. He was just a small mercenary. Owning a fiefdom was something only a large noble could do. Isn't that what the Principality of Cologne did? The top Duke was either inherited or
During the war, a large piece of territory was obtained, and then these territories were entrusted to the small nobles and officers under their command. As a result, lords of various sizes were born.
As for those lords who were enfeoffed, no matter who owned their territory before, they only knew that if the superiors above enfeoffed it to them, it was theirs. They only needed to be loyal to the superiors and fulfill the obligations of a lord.
"Well, that's what I mean!" The merchant of the Ming Dynasty smiled slyly: "You are not just ordinary pirates, right? I have heard a lot of amazing things these days. If you are interested, think about this aspect.
Thinking about it, it’s more reliable than the slave trade you’ve been thinking about all day long!”
"This old thing!"
The merchant from Ming Dynasty left slowly with his hands behind his back. Sean cursed fiercely, but his mind started to wander.
Only great nobles can entrust their subordinates with territory. The leader of her own legion is really a great noble. Although she is a great noble of the Ming Dynasty, this is not the Ming Dynasty, but what does it matter? This is still the land conquered by the legion. Of course she has the right.
Give them to your loyal subordinates.
At least, the land here is much more fertile than Ryukyu, a place full of small islands.
The more he thought about it, the hotter his heart became. This was a big deal, a real big deal. If he could meet the leader and put forward his genius suggestion, perhaps his name would also be on the enfeoffment list.
At that time, Sean was no longer a small mercenary, but a dignified lord. In this far east, he owned a piece of land and even a castle that could be passed down to his descendants.
Of course, if such a thing really happens, he must find a woman to get married and have children as soon as possible. This matter is very important!
