Chapter 111 The Iron Baron Chapter 111 Do you want to do business
The second volume is finally open. The title of the book is "From Knight to King". The content is also the protagonist's journey towards the king step by step. The first volume is the knight stage, the second volume is the baron, then the viscount, the earl, the duke, and the king.
One stage corresponds to one volume.
This is my first time writing an online novel. There are many places that are immature, and there are also problems such as confusion of names. Book friends have pointed it out, which is quite embarrassing. I will try my best to check it, and keep writing it, and keep updating it.
I am an ordinary person, not smart, and don't expect to make money by writing books. I just want to fulfill one of my wishes and commemorate the days when I played horseback riding and slashing in college.
In the game, there is no cheating mode, and during the novice exploration period, there are many frustrations, and there are many times when you are so angry that you throw the keyboard. Of course, this is not the case in the book, otherwise no one will read it. However, although the book is mainly filled with enjoyable articles,
But I tried to write something that is reasonable and common sense, and will not be overly exaggerated, such as one person annihilating an entire army.
Niche books are read by good people, but the readers are really good readers. Jianlai is famous all over the world. He is a little fan of Garin, book friend 60197064, Si Nian a. Thank you for your support, even if you write
Even if I can’t collect more than 100 words out of a million words, I will insist on finishing it! I am worthy of you and worthy of myself.
Everyone has participated in the battle. It is not that they were unaware of what Balian said before, but they have not summarized it in such a systematic way, and they have not thought about it so thoroughly in some places. Now that Balian talks about it, they completely understand it.
.
Rohir looked at everyone's sudden realization and said with a smile, "This excellent person is indeed excellent in all aspects. We people have been fighting for nearly half our lives, but we have not been able to explain these principles so thoroughly."
"Okay, okay, Uncle Rohir, you don't need to praise me so much. We have almost rested now. Let's go back quickly. The sun is almost setting." Balian said with a smile.
After Balian finished speaking, the people on both sides stood up and walked back side by side, talking and laughing. Before entering the competition field, the two groups still kept a clear distance, but after this friendly competition, everyone formed a team side by side.
Already.
Although it can still be seen that they are two groups of people, the way they walk side by side and talk and laugh means that Rothschild and Greenberg are no longer opposed to becoming soldiers of Fort Norland, but are now very willing to do so.
Join in.
Since Balian and Gamlin were riding horses, they were half a beat behind the team as they waited for the horses to be brought, but they happened to see the team come together.
Seeing that Balian was deep in thought as he watched the team, Gamlin couldn't help but smile and said: "Brother Balian, your purpose of recruiting cavalry has been achieved this time, but I haven't found one yet."
Balian shrugged helplessly and responded: "Brother Gamji, who made me so lucky? However, you don't have to worry, caravan guards are still easy to find."
Before Balian could finish speaking, several armed men stopped them. This startled Harker and Bran. They quickly drew their swords and rushed forward, asking what these men were doing.
You wouldn't know if you didn't ask, but when you ask, it turns out it's a good thing. These people are all caravan guards. They were also training in the fighting field today. They happened to watch the whole fight between Balian and Rohirr. They were killed by Balian's men.
The soldiers were shocked by the elite level and wanted to come over and defect to Balian.
Balian saw that these people were in pretty good shape, so he asked the leader: "How many of you are there? Do you know how to ride a horse?"
"Sir, there are twelve of us in total. We can ride horses, but we are not very skilled in horseback fighting. We mainly fight on foot." This man answered quite sincerely.
"Yeah." Balian nodded, "That's right. I mainly recruit cavalry, and they are experts in equestrian skills and proficient horse fighting skills. You do not meet my requirements."
Hearing what Balian said, these people all looked disappointed. After all, they came with eager expectations, but what they got in exchange was such a result.
But not long after their disappointment began, they heard Balian say: "However, I do have a place to recommend to you. Do you want to give it a try?"
At this time, the sense of loss on their faces turned to surprise. They all looked at Balian with wide eyes. Balian felt a little embarrassed to be stared at by five or six grown men at the same time.
Balian touched his nose and said with a smile: "The place I'm talking about is also a caravan guard job that you are familiar with. The income here is not low, the boss is also very nice, and the trade routes are free of banditry.
Safe route.”
"If that's the case, we would be willing to give it a try." the leader replied.
Seeing that they agreed, Balian raised his finger to Gamgee beside him and said to them: "This is Mr. Gamgee, the vice president of the Amundine Chamber of Commerce. He is a very powerful person in the northern border of Brick.
The big businessman now needs to recruit caravan guards for his caravan. If you are willing, you can talk to him."
As he spoke, Balian blinked at Gamgee, and Gamgee immediately understood what Balian meant, so he said slowly: "Yes, Sir Balian is telling the truth. I really want to recruit some people here."
Caravan guard, however, I want to ask Sir Balian to test your skills before I can decide whether I want you or not."
"No problem, we accept Sir Balian's assessment." The leading man responded. It seems that he is still very confident in the skills of himself and his men.
Balian first asked Bran to give up his horse and let the five men take turns riding it to see if they could really ride a horse.
Although these five people are not very skilled in riding horses, they can still protect the caravan on normal horses. Of course, it is impossible to expect them to fight with weapons on horses.
After testing their equestrian skills, Balian asked the leader and two of his men to come up together so that Balian could try their martial arts.
Fortunately, the fighting arena is surrounded by empty space with no one around. Otherwise, they would definitely be caught by the security team and fined if they were making such a fuss.
After this competition, Balian found that except for the leader, whose fighting ability was barely adequate, the others were really average. It is estimated that they could not even defeat the ordinary soldiers in the Norandenburg Infantry Regiment.
Balian called Gamgee aside and told him the situation. As for whether he wanted them or not, it was up to Gamgee.
Balian, who has been a man for two generations, deeply understands the truth that the better the relationship between friends, the less likely it is to make decisions for others. Although your decisions are for the good of the other person, the consequences of this decision will be borne by others.
If the result is good, people may not necessarily be grateful to you. After all, they will think that you are wise and wise; if the result is not good, people will definitely put all the responsibilities on you and blame you. In the end, the boat of friendship between the two people will definitely capsize.
After listening to Balian's objective evaluation, Gamgee thought about it and decided to hire them. As a shrewd businessman, he wanted to use these people to support his caravan first. After all, this was an urgent matter.
.
And he has a deeper plan. He plans to recruit some rich farmers from his family's territory, the second sons and third sons of handicraftsmen who have no inheritance rights. These people have no livelihood anyway, and sooner or later they will come out to make a living.
Gamgee plans to recruit these young people who are in awe of his family and whose families are under the control of his family, and then give them to Balian for training for a period of time. He believes that under Balian's training, these people's combat capabilities will be certain.
It's no problem.
However, he has not told Balian about this plan yet. He plans to discuss it with Balian after he sends away the few people in front of him.
So, Gamji told the leading man that he was willing to recruit them, and gave them the address of his store, asking them to come to him one day later. At that time, everyone would determine their salary and sign an employment contract.
After taking care of these people, Balian and the others got on their horses and headed off again. Balian was in a good mood and said to Gamgee: "Brother Gamgee, look, you said you didn't recruit the caravan guards, but now you have found them. So,
Don't be impatient, the God of Fire will bless you."
Gamgee smiled and told Balian his plan to see if Balian agreed to his proposal, and he also said that he could pay a certain fee.
After hearing what Ganmoji said, Balian did not respond immediately. He thought for a moment and replied: "Brother Ganmoji, it's okay to help you train soldiers, but it is impossible for me to let them train with my soldiers.
You should be able to understand this, after all, my secret method of training soldiers has been learned by others, and I will be the one who suffers when we meet on the battlefield in the future."
"That's no problem, Brother Balian. I can understand it. It's okay to let them train with the militia in your hands." Gamgee quickly expressed his position.
Balian waved his hand and said with a smile: "My idea is that we can do this as a business."
"Ah!" Gamgee exclaimed in surprise, "Business? How do you do business here?"
Balian nodded and replied confirmingly: "It's business, brother Ganji, please listen to me and explain it to you.
After winning the battle to recapture Maple Leaf Manor, some lords wanted me to help them train soldiers. After wiping out the two remaining gangs on the south bank of the Carr River, more lords wanted to ask me to help train soldiers. Lord Viscount Merri also wanted to
Let me help him train an infantry guard.
I think as my personal reputation and military exploits continue to increase, more people will have this need. Since everyone has the need, why can't I set up a school to help everyone train? I assign people to come over for training, and occasionally come over for guidance.
I will contribute my efforts and everyone will contribute their money."
Hearing what Balian said, Gamgee touched his chin, nodded, and said: "It's true, I think it's okay. Hey, does this business still have anything to do with me? They are here for your reputation.
Come."
"Hahaha!" Balian laughed a few times, "My brother Ganmuji, how can I have time to deal with this business? I want to entrust this business to you. You can help me get a customer, and I will give it to you."
You will get a corresponding commission, and as long as the number of soldiers who come to me for training through you is more than 100 a year, I will help you train ten caravan guards for free. What do you think of this business?"
After Gamgee heard this, he directly reined in the horse. He stared straight at Balian and asked: "Such a training business shouldn't make more money than us selling painted pottery and soap. You are definitely not here for this."
What is your purpose in making money?"
"Hehe!" Balian smiled, "I know I can't hide it from you, so I'll tell you the truth. But don't tell it, brother Ganji."
"Yeah!" Don't worry, what are we two? Oh, by the way, it's the community of interests you told me about. Telling your secrets will make your life difficult, what will it do to me?
What are the benefits?”
Balian nodded and said: "I believe you, Brother Ganji. In fact, there are three main purposes. I will explain them to you one by one. After I explain them, you will understand.
First of all, my purpose is of course to make money. Don’t think that these training businesses can’t make money. Those lords, especially nobles like Viscount Merri who value their own safety and want to have an elite team, are willing to spend a lot of money to let them
