Chapter 133: Plans

"Alliances are exempt, but buying and selling can still be done, whose money is not earned, as long as they provide what we need, the trade agreement with the lords and nobles also applies to them. ”

Shaun wouldn't look down on the slave rebels just because they were in the name of justice, and so far, all they had done to the Manyu Leader was destruction.

It is not clear whether the slave rebels contributed to the far-reaching historical significance of the liberation movement of the slaves of the Manyu Army, and now not only the lords and nobles, but also the small lords, are scolding them, equating them with the outcasts, because they seriously interfere with their normal lives.

Before they revolted, they were barely able to make ends meet, and now they must face the threat of starvation and death.

The raiding of the slave rebels was only one aspect, on the other hand, the lords and nobles began to recruit soldiers in order to cope with the threat posed by the rebels, and those lords not only had to face the tyranny of the requisition, but the men could also be forcibly conscripted into the army and never return.

Prosperity, the people suffer, death, the people suffer.

In this chaotic era when the system and law are not perfect, this sentence is vividly interpreted.

However, Sean is not ready to raise the banner of justice and join forces with the Manyu army to destroy it.

How big a belly he has, how much food he eats, he is just the general of the Eternal Night Legion, he only needs to be responsible for the tens of thousands of people under his control, and the life and death of others should not be his concern.

Not to that height, but to have the world in mind, is a very nonsense thing in itself.

"How far can it be done, and can the limit be relaxed a little bit?"

Marshall's eyes lit up, he, the lieutenant general, was now in charge of logistics and supplies, and the pressure was quite high, and the ability of the Legion of the Eternal Night to create wealth was amazing, but the ability to spend money was equally amazing.

People eat horses and chew, pave roads and build bridges, open up land and fields, renew armaments, resettle mountain people, build villages and villages, which one does not cost money?

From the very beginning, the Legion of the Eternal Night did not have the concept of conscription and relief, and all of them practiced cash-for-work, and when they slowly accumulated a certain amount of assets, they became hire.

Why does the Eternal Night Legion have such strong vitality and creative ability, it is not something that comes out of mouth, even if the soldiers of the Eternal Night Legion have such a high consciousness, it does not mean that those mountain people also have it, but it is different if they have money to earn and eat.

Working the same thirteen or fourteen hours a day, whipped and tempted by money, are two very different concepts, both in terms of efficiency and mood.

Recently, the Legion of the Eternal Night has started to build the Twin Cities again, and Marshall has seen the budget, which is a bottomless hole, one head and two large, and his first reaction to what he sees now is how much it is worth.

It is basically impossible to expect the Eternal Night Legion to fill this hole by itself, and if the Eternal Night Legion can't stop its own development for this, then the gains outweigh the losses.

Marshall could only turn his attention to a deal with the Manyo Legion, one of the pillars of the Eternal Night's finances.

The main products traded between the two sides were honey, Tang's nail armor, various finished medicinal herbs, nuts and mountain goods, and a small amount of leather goods.

The merchants of the Manyu army exported coal mines, salt, linen, small amounts of grain, and daily necessities to the Legion of the Eternal Night.

Compared to the Manyu military leader, many of the products of the Eternal Night Legion have undergone secondary processing, and the moisture in them is quite large.

For example, the transaction price of the Tang Clan's nail armor has been very low in the eyes of the merchants of the Manyu Army, but due to the technology adopted by the Eternal Night Legion that is ahead of this era, the cost is incredibly low, and as the technology becomes more and more mature, the cost can continue to be pushed down, which can be called a huge profit.

In fact, the production of Down studded nails is increasing day by day, but the volume of transactions has not fluctuated much.

After all, this kind of thing is a military product, and the two sides are in a state of hostility, and the Eternal Night Legion must also be careful about the number of cards, preventing too much abuse of the enemy is one thing, and revealing too much wealth is the other.

Now that the Manyu Army Leader has become a pot of gruel, the threat to the Eternal Night Legion has plummeted, and it is possible to trade in large quantities, but the problem is that it is difficult to transport goods from the Manyu Army Leader's side.

If the slave rebels moved eastward and were to be next to them, there would be convenient terms of trade.

Don't underestimate the slave rebels, now they are not the mud legs who had nothing at the beginning, they have captured more than ten cities and dozens of castles one after another, and the wealth accumulated by those lords and nobles for many years has become their trophies.

They now have a lot of wealth in their hands and have nowhere to spend it.

Marshall had long been thinking about it, but the two sides were too far apart and had no heart.

"As long as it doesn't involve confidential core products, they are willing to buy them, we can sell them, and there are no taboos. ”

Obviously, it is not only Marshall who is worried about the wealth in the hands of the slave rebels, Sean has also been eyeing it for a long time, those things are placed in those nouveau riche, that is, tyrannical things, and in the hands of the Eternal Night Army, more wealth can be created.

"Understood. Marshall smiled knowingly.

I quickly calculated which products were suitable for trading with the slave rebels.

Although it is the same transaction, the needs of both parties are completely different.

At the very least, the demand for honey in the slave rebel army was far less than that of the Lord of the Manyu Army.

The Tang Clan's studded armor is definitely a sought-after commodity, and their demand and eagerness are even higher than that of the lords and nobles of the Manyu army, even if they have plundered so many cities and castles, the armor rate of the slave rebel army will definitely not exceed one-fifth, and many of them are carrying farm tools into battle.

Naturally, the price could not be sold to the lord and nobles at the time, at least it had to be raised by fifty percent, not because Marshall had a prejudice against the slave rebels, and simply stood in the perspective of a merchant to maximize the benefits.

At the beginning, trading with the lords and nobles was for long-term planning, and they were able to provide the materials they needed, and the initiative was relatively in the hands of the other party, so in order to tempt them to take the initiative to trade with themselves, they naturally had to make concessions on the price.

Contrary to the Slave Rebellion, although it is not a one-time deal, it will certainly not last long, they will be defeated or exiled at any time, and even if they can really defeat the Manyu Army, they will have to wait until they are defeated.

Before that, it was a seller's market, and they had to beg themselves, and the price was raised, which was natural.

Not only the Tang Clan's nail armor, but even the leather armor that the Eternal Night Legion has redressed can be repaired and sold to them backhand for recycling.

Not only armor, but also weapons are also sought-after, iron Eternal Night Legion is also scarce, but there is no shortage of bows and crossbows Eternal Night Legion, especially Andis hunting bows, a bag of grain, those Andis mountain people snatched their heads and sold them to the Eternal Night Legion, even if it is a finely crafted Condor Bow, three bags of salt can be exchanged for a handful.

There is no shortage of all kinds of bow-making wood in the mountains, and every Andes hunter is a good bow-maker, who doesn't have three or five good bows? Who doesn't store a few pieces of fine bow-making wood?

If it is said that Sean began to collect bow-making wood as a consultation fee, it opened a precedent for mountain people to store bow-making wood.

Then the Eternal Night Legion purchased bow-making wood on a large scale, and directly turned it into a traditional custom of the mountain people.

Once the hand is over, if the slave rebels do not take out five sacks of food, they will not want to exchange it for a bow from the Legion of the Eternal Night.

The Eternal Night Legion does not earn the black money of its own people, even if it is the price of two bags of grain for the mountain people, it also earns.

"Ralph's focus in recent times is still the direction of the Manyu military leader, and the files above the hereditary viscount must be organized into a book, ready to be consulted at any time. ”

"Yes, General!"

"In the area of logistics scheduling, Marshall bothered more, some things are properly decentralized, don't let yourself be so tired, as long as you do a good job of the final review, appropriately give the young people of the military staff more opportunities to train, don't be afraid to make mistakes, as long as they can be corrected in time, you can be forgiven. If you don't give them more opportunities to do things because you are afraid of making mistakes, they will never grow up, I made such a mistake before, if I still tie you to my side now, you will never have a chance to mature, you don't follow my old path, I heard that you have recently wasted your own training for military affairs? This is unacceptable, as a general, you don't need everyone to work the champion knight, at least it is reasonable, only a good body can have more energy! In this regard, Ralph is doing very well, you have to learn from him. ”

Sean spoke earnestly to Marshall.

No one is perfect in this world, everyone has their own flaws, Sean is, and so is Marshall.

I used to follow Sean by my side, but I didn't feel it yet, and when I did things independently, I was exposed little by little.

Marshall said that it is good, it is called careful things, and everything must be bowed personally, and if it is ugly, it is like to seize power, and everything must be asked and intervened.

This kind of thing should take care of Marshall's face, and said it in private, but Sean said it a few times, and the effect was not good, so he brought it up at this time and deliberately compared Ralph.

Ralph looked at Sean's gaze, obviously with a bit of resentment, Sean was trying to correct Marshall's shortcomings, and brought himself in, as far as Marshall's strong personality is concerned, he will definitely compete with himself everywhere for a period of time in the future.

"Got it!" Marshall replied sullenly, no matter who it was, it would not be too good to be named on such an occasion, but his weakness was indeed pinched by Sean, and his eyes burned with fire.

"Here I will give you some breath, I am going to hold a big competition for the whole army and set up an officer school on the second anniversary of the establishment of the Eternal Night Legion, and you will be the first batch of students and the first batch of instructors, if the limelight is suppressed by the students, it will be a big shame!"

Set up his own academy school, Sean has such a heart, not a day or two, although he has been doing similar things, most of the Legion of the Eternal Night, when they see him called a general, they also have to call him a teacher.

But after all, it is a wild road, he is far from the level of pedantic, typical response to that sentence, miscellaneous but not refined, teaching basic things is okay, but it really involves the profession, but there is nowhere to exert force, and he himself has been in a state of charging.

As the Eternal Night Legion grows, the number of residents under its leadership is increasing, whether it is the officers of the Eternal Night Legion or those middle and low-level managers, there is a feeling of inadequacy, after all, many people are chasing ducks to the shelves and crossing the river by feeling the stones.

Even if a set of his own experience has been formed in the past two years, it is a wild way of mixed advantages and disadvantages, exposing a lot of problems, Sean has been sending people to collect these experiences into a book, regardless of whether it is good or bad, ready to use it to exchange and learn, the good ones are widely publicized and learned, and the bad ones are corrected.

This will be the first task of the military academy.

"So fast?" Not only Marshall, but even Ralph was taken aback, a little caught off guard.

Sean is preparing to set up a military academy, they know, but they didn't expect Sean to be so eager, now there is still half a year before the second anniversary of the formation of the Eternal Night Legion, but the military academy is full of problems, not to mention the instructors, even the location has not been decided, it is not an exaggeration to say that it only exists in the concept.

"The sooner it is established, the better, some bad habits of many officers have not yet been completely stereotyped, and it is easy to correct, once they are integrated into the bones, not only will they destroy themselves, but also bring a group of soldiers badly, it doesn't matter if there are no instructors, we can learn and train at the same time, and when the first batch of cadets graduates, our instructors will be qualified. ”

Sean is familiar with this, because he knows that the path that the Legion of the Eternal Night is taking now is a road that no one in this world has ever walked, and no one can teach them, and neither can Sean.

At best, he is a guide, using some experience in his previous life to point out a relatively feasible path, so that they can avoid detours, and they need to grope forward together to implement it.

"It's good to set up early, it's good to set up early, Lao Tzu has long wanted to taste what it's like to be a teacher. McGee, the Skullcrusher, squeezed the Kabakaba with both hands, and he let out a chuckle that looked like a homicidal psychopath, and he didn't know if he was associating the instructor with the butcher.

The others rolled their eyes and ignored the brainless guy.

"There will be a special meeting on the establishment of the military academy at that time, so I won't say much about it today. Sean continued the previous topic, "The matter of contact and trading with the slave rebel army will be handled by Marshall, and you should be cautious, the slave rebel army is mixed, don't eat their stuffy losses." ”

"Yes, General!"

"General McGee, you keep an eye on the Eastern Front, that group of rabble, what they have been doing more and more recently, if they have any misdeeds, they might as well be tougher, we are not willing to go to war now, it doesn't mean that we don't have the strength to go to war. ”

"If you let me shrink like before, it will be difficult for me, after shrinking for so long, I will soon become a turtle son and turtle grandson. Be tough, it's the right person, hehe...... That's what Lao Tzu is best at! I've said it a long time ago, you can't get used to dealing with these guys who bully the soft and are afraid of the hard, and they will be absolutely honest if they have nothing to do!"

McGee the Skullcrusher boasted about herself as she touched her big bald head.

In order to set an example, Sean and McGee took the lead in shaving their heads, and afterwards Sean and their hair grew again, although it was a board inch, McGee kept a bald head and was addicted, because it was easy to take care of, every other three days and five days, I took a dagger to shave a circle, usually washed my face, wiped it with a hot towel, and washed my head together, and I didn't have to worry about recruiting parasites, the most ideal hairstyle for lazy people.

What kind of people, what kind of soldiers to bring, the basic virtue of the skull crushing legion, if you take off the helmet, a monk legion alive.

"From now on, do what you want, if something happens, we will all give you the cover!" A trace of coldness flashed in Sean's eyes.

The Walled City Alliance is a pig kept in captivity by the Eternal Night Legion in their own back garden, and they will be slaughtered when they are fattened.

Pigs should have the consciousness of being pigs, and it is not right to arch the pigsty and provoke the owner if there is nothing to do.

In the past, the Eternal Night Legion could not act rashly with the Manyu military leader, but now there is no pressure from the other side, if this fat pig still doesn't know what to do, the Eternal Night Legion doesn't mind trying to test how fast its knife is sharpened.
