In the end, under Balian's insistence, Gamgee, an old man, agreed to Balian's cooperation plan, which was that Gamgee would be the agent for Nolandenburg painted pottery and soap directly under the company at the price of the first two thousand dinars.
County, Yangwei Shuo province's distribution rights.
In the first year of cooperation between the two parties, the total amount of Gamji's purchases cannot be less than five thousand dinars. If it is lower than this amount, Balian can choose not to continue the cooperation. And if Gamji not only completes the task, but also exceeds the original schedule.
After doubling the sales volume of the mission, Balian also handed over the agency rights of the Alpine Province to the caravan under the name of Gamji.
After determining the main issues of the cooperation, everyone found that they had been discussing it all afternoon. Balian struck while the iron was hot and signed a cooperation agreement with Gamgee. Both parties stamped their seals in triplicate, one of which was placed in Amon.
It was stored in the church in Ding City and stored under the eyes of the God of Fire to show that both parties sincerely cooperate and become friendly partners.
However, Gamghi does not have so much money with him now. He said that after he returns to Amondin, he will send the money as soon as possible, not only to purchase painted pottery and soap, but also to purchase woodware and rattan weaving.
In addition, he also accepted all the valuable wolf skins and other animal furs that Balian currently had in stock. Of course, in order to show his sincerity, Balian also gave a friendly cooperation price.
The cooperation was reached, and both parties were very happy. After returning to Nolandenburg, a grand dinner was organized directly. Tonight, Gamgee and his men no longer had the worries and vigilance of yesterday, and relaxed and chatted with Nolandenburg.
The friends drank and played until late at night. After being drunk, Ganmuji, who was not very drunk, was carried back by two caravan guards.
At noon the next day, Gamgee sobered up and recovered. After a heavy drunken period, he resolutely refused the requests of Balian, Mark and others to stay one more night, but he did not dare to drink with these people again.
, a group of people took turns to drink and engage in wheel battles.
He didn't even take a few bites of the food before he was given a full stomach of cold beer. He had diarrhea three times this morning. Now his feet are a little weak when he walks. He feels like half of his life is gone. He will never do it again.
Lived.
Seeing that the pale Gamgir was so determined, Balian could no longer stay, so he asked Eomer to send a group of infantry soldiers to escort Gamgir's caravan back to the city of Amondin.
Before setting off, Gamgee quietly told Balian one thing, that is, the Amondin Chamber of Commerce where he belongs has been troubled by the green forest bandits in Stag Forest. Three years ago, they issued a reward and they were willing to pay for it.
A bounty of five thousand dinars will be awarded to the brave men who annihilate the three major gangs in the Stag Forest.
He also told Balian that now Norlandenburg has two major wealth-making tools: painted pottery and soap, and it also hunts a lot from the stag forest every year. If the remaining hound gangs among the three major bandit gangs cannot be cleared away in time,
Not to mention the Grizzly Bear Bandit, it is not conducive for other businessmen to come to Nolandenburg to do business.
These bandits are also likely to join forces with other forces to attack Norlandenburg and steal the craftsmen who make painted pottery and soap and the wealth of Norlandenburg.
Balian was a little touched by the reward announcement and kind reminder that Gamgee revealed to Balian. This businessman himself had just escaped from the tiger's mouth not long ago, but after establishing a partnership, he immediately considered his partners in many places.
This is much better than the many business partners Balian met in his previous life. Those people talk about benevolence and justice, but behind the scenes they are all scheming. They want to trick you to death. The progress of this society sometimes brings humanity.
and moral regression.
Balian thanked Gamgee for his information and reminder. After asking Gamgee to keep it secret, he whispered to him that the two remaining gangs in the stag forest on the south bank of the Carr River should not be able to sow seeds in the cultivated land.
When it comes to wheat.
Gamgee was shocked when he heard Balian's words. He looked at Balian in surprise for a while. The confidence on the young knight's face made him feel that he was not boasting. Gamgee said goodbye to Balian doubtfully and lay down in the carriage.
Return to Amondin.
Along the way, he was still thinking, the Lord Sheriff summoned many leading knights and hundreds of county soldiers, and failed to solve the problem several times. With the strength of Fort Nolandenburg, could it really be done? This is not possible.
It's incredible.
Balian didn't know what Gamgee was thinking. After settling the business with this businessman and bringing stable income to his territory's finances, Balian was about to start clearing out the Hound Bandits and the Grizzly Bear Bandits.
After all, there is no room for others to sleep soundly on the side of the bed. If these two gangs of robbers are not eliminated, it will not only affect the commercial development of Nolandenburg, but will also cause great trouble to themselves sooner or later. They must be eliminated as soon as possible to eliminate their plans.

Leon has already thought about it.
That afternoon, the person Balian asked Lal to send to communicate with the Hound Bandits came back. It turned out that this man had followed Lal to the Hound Bandits' cottage to drink twice, and he was not a stranger to Gu Huiyang.
Not only did he come back intact, but he also brought a gift from the hound gangster Gu Hui Yang to Balian. Balian was surprised by this and thought that Gu Hui Yang was quite interesting.
Lal brought this subordinate named Ilya over to report the situation to Balian. Ilya reported to Balian: "Sir, I am bringing the token that Brother Lal gave me, which is this sword."
As he spoke, Ilya took out the sword and showed it to Balian, "I took this sword to Raven Ridge. Before I got there, I was surrounded by sentries from outside. After learning about my purpose,
, they blindfolded me and took me into the village.
But how do they know that Brother Lal and I have been to their village before and know the route? These guys really took off their pants and farted, which is unnecessary."
"Speak to the important points, stop talking nonsense here." Lal saw Ilya nagging in front of Balian and scolded him directly, asking him to quickly talk about the important points.
When Ilya saw Lal being so serious, he quickly said something important, "Sir, after I told Boss Gu Huiyang what you said, this guy was neither happy nor angry when he heard that you wanted to recruit him. He had almost no expression.
The only change was that someone arranged for me to stay and entertained me with delicious food and drinks.
A day later, Gu Huiyang called me over and told me that he had discussed it with his brothers and agreed to your surrender. The conditions for his surrender should be as you said. He would have an official position and his son would become a knight.
He also had servants, a house and farmland, and he was very satisfied with these conditions.
But for these brothers under him, your lord, you have not given any conditions for surrender, and have not made arrangements for these brothers, how can he, the boss, submit with peace of mind? Therefore, he wants to discuss the terms with you, lord, in person, and the only way to get them is in person.
Only after your personal commitment can he surrender with confidence.
In addition, to show his sincerity, he specially asked me to bring you a box of gifts that he carefully prepared for you."
As he spoke, Lal opened the beautifully crafted small wooden box, which contained many silver coins and red emeralds.
Seeing Balian looking at the belongings in the box with a smile, Ilya continued: "In order to show his sincerity, Boss Gu Huiyang took out a thousand dinars and gems worth fifteen hundred dinars as gifts.
To your lord.
After he surrenders, in order to express his gratitude to you for helping him clear out his identity as a bandit, he will be greatly thanked.
Sir, I think this Gu Huiyang is quite sensible. If we talk to him face to face, there will be no problem in surrendering him."
Although Balian didn't know that this Ilya had received a gift of twenty dinars from Gu Huiyang, that's why he worked so hard to speak good words for Gu Huiyang and tried his best to promote this matter, but after seeing this Ilya's performance, he
Basically you can understand what's going on.
At the same time, Balian also secretly glanced at Lal's expression. Seeing that he was slightly sullen, Balian knew that Lal was not stupid and should understand what was going on. Balian continued to give Ilya a cheerful look.
Said: "Okay! You did a good job with Ilya. I will give you thirty dinars as a reward."
When Ilya heard this, he quickly bent down and saluted, "Sir, thank you for your reward. This is what I should do."
"Hey, no matter what you should or shouldn't do, I won't treat anyone who does things for me badly. Besides, I have to go to Raven Ridge again and tell Gu Huiyang that I am willing to talk to him face to face and let him
Let's decide on a place and time." Balian helped Ilya with his hand and arranged for him to go for another run.
"As you command, my lord, this matter will be taken care of by me, don't worry!" Elijah assured Balian, slapping his chest, which made a thumping sound.
After Elijah left, the anxious Lal couldn't help but ask Balian in a low voice: "Sir, can't you really see it? This is a trap set by Gu Huiyang!"
When Lal said this, Balian was neither angry nor happy, but said to him calmly: "I know this is a trap. How could Gu Huiyang surrender to me so easily? This is impossible.
He just wants to capture me and extort a ransom in exchange for his brothers."
"Ah!" Lal was shocked when he heard what Balian said, "So you know it all, but why do you still..."
"You still have to agree to meet, right?" Balian interrupted Lar and asked:
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
"Brother Lal, whose side do you think Elijah is on now?"
Lal was silent for a while, and said with a sad expression: "He should have been bribed by Gu Huiyang. Although this guy is usually a bit lazy, I didn't expect him to do something like betrayal!"
"Hahaha!" Balian laughed heartily, "At first I was worried that the person who sent the message back and forth was too upright to do this. The Ilya you chose really solved this problem."
Lal scratched his head in embarrassment. He suddenly raised his head and asked, "Sir, is this a trick? Do you want to take the opportunity to capture Gu Huiyang?"
Hearing this, Balian smiled mysteriously at him and said, "You will know when the time comes. Brother Lal, you have time to look through Ilya's mattress to see how much money he has hidden."
When Lar heard this, he couldn't help but laugh, "Okay, sir, I will find out quietly."
"Well, as long as you understand, just wait and see the good show then." Balian said to Lal.
Ilya had no way of knowing what the lord in the room was discussing with his boss, Lal, and he didn't want to know either. He was holding the bounty of thirty dinars given by Balian in his hand and Gu Hui in his arms.
Yang bribed him with twenty dinars, which was fifty dinars, enough to buy five acres of land in Fort Nolandenburg.
Moreover, Ilya has to make another trip, and maybe he can receive a reward from Gu Huiyang and Balian. By then, I'm afraid I will have enough money to buy a house.
Thinking of this, Ilya's mind was filled with excitement. He thought that he would soon have a house and land, and he should hurry up on marrying a wife. He took a fancy to a plump young cook in Lord Balian's mansion.
Now Ilya is so confident that with his financial conditions, figure and appearance, he should have no problem in capturing her. If he has a few more children, he will live a life that he never dared to imagine when he was a robber.
Lived.
Just when Ilya was carrying a bag filled with jingling silver coins and thinking about a better life in the future, Balin, the scout of the Fort Nolandenburg Infantry Regiment, was following him with two of his men pretending to be passers-by. Ilya's every move
In fact, it was all under Balian's control, but he didn't know it.
Early the next morning, Ilya got up early. After having a quick bite, he headed to Raven Ridge to deliver Balian's message to Gu Huiyang. This guy was so active firstly because he had money to take it, and secondly because he
In the bandit's village in Raven Ridge, not only were there delicious food and drinks, but Gu Huiyang also thoughtfully arranged for a girl to serve him well.
This gave Ilya, who had been at the bottom of the bandit team for a long time and could only meet his physical needs through good craftsmanship, great satisfaction. This satisfaction was not only physical, but also psychological, being respected, valued, and respected.
If a person is fawning, it is absolutely impossible for him to receive such treatment based on his original status.
Originally, Ilya was angry with Lal for assigning him to send a message to the bandit leader, thinking that Lal had assigned him the most dangerous task, but now he is very grateful to Lal. If Lal had not chosen him, Ilya would
How could he enjoy it so much and still make a lot of money?
This time when he came to the Hound Bandit's stronghold in Raven Ridge, the bandits no longer covered his eyes with black cloth. Instead, they sent a leader who had drank with Lal and Ilya to greet him and followed him.
He talked and laughed and headed to the hall together to meet their boss Gu Huiyang.
As soon as Ilya saw Gu Huiyang, he quickly saluted warmly, and then pretended to be tired and said: "Boss Gu Huiyang, you don't know how difficult the matter is. Sir Balian didn't agree to your request at first.
,.
If I hadn't argued hard and your lord trusted me, he wouldn't have agreed to talk to you face to face. However, although it was hard work, the matter was finally settled. Sir Balian asked you to set a time and place, and he was on time when he arrived.
Keep your appointment."
"Oh, my brother Ilya, you have worked so hard for me." As he spoke, Gu Huiyang came down and gave Ilya a bear hug enthusiastically. Gu Huiyang was tall and strong, and his arm strength was amazing. He gave me a big bear hug.
, almost strangled Ilya to death.
After hugging Ilya enthusiastically, Gu Huiyang enthusiastically hugged his shoulders, sat down with him, and poured him a glass of wine with his own hands, "Brother Ilya, if you want to thank me, I won't say much more."
, come here, bring the things up."
As soon as Gu Huiyang spoke, two young women wearing very thin clothes came out with graceful figures, each holding a small wooden box. Their appearance made Ilya's eyes widen.
