After the affair, William stayed in Denlenburg for ten days, mingling at least with the nobles and the count's courtiers, and then returned to the realm with the knights who had come with him.

"How's that going William?" Leaving behind in the territory, Nowen and Urimu asked.

"What else, it's terrible, Viscount Kewen is really scheming, if it weren't for the Earl protecting me, I guess I would have been ruined!" William sighed and told the two of them what had happened.

"Kewen, old dog! Shameless! After hearing this, he immediately scolded.

"Viscount Kewen is really so insidious, be careful of him in the future!" Norwin said with a frown.

William nodded in agreement.

"By the way, William, Mooah and the president of the Lance Guild came to the manor three days ago and said that they wanted to see you, but they haven't left yet, and the matter seems to be quite important!" Norwen said.

"Well, let them in, Vidal! Let the people from Lance go back to the study and wait for me! ”

"Your Excellency!" The two saw William walk into the study and got up to greet him.

William nodded, got to the chair in front of the desk, and asked, "Is there anything going on?" ”

"That's your lord, the vodka business has seen great resistance in Trorenburg, and several stores in our guild have all been destroyed by Viscount Curvin's army, and vodka sales have begun to plummet!" Lance said.

William touched his chin, it seems that Viscount Cowen is really sanctioning himself, although vodka is far better than other drinks, but if you want to please your lord, you can still give up, so it is not surprising.

"I see, I had a dispute with Viscount Cowen, you should know, give up the market in Traorenburg, there should be no hope anywhere!" William said.

"But don't worry, I will open up a new market, that market will be very huge, you shouldn't be able to eat it, I can give you half of the market sales rights, or thirty-seven shares, and the rest will be up to me!"

"This ...... Your Excellency, you know the size of our guild, we can eat it all! Mooa interjected.

"Trust me! This market is absolutely too big for you to eat! William gave Lance a meaningful look and said with a smile.

"Of course, our guild is not as strong as La Buse City, and we are very satisfied that you can give us half of the sales rights!" Lance said deferentially.

Seeing that he knew him so well, William nodded with satisfaction: "Well, don't live up to my expectations!" ”

At this time, William actually no longer needed the Reims Guild, and since he fought Viscount Curvin head-on, his image among the nobles was not just an ordinary baron.

It was a nobleman who could wrestle with a viscount, and the earl's favoritism made them even more sure that William was now favored by the earl, and as long as William opened his mouth, they would definitely sell a dangerous face for him to trade at will.

Therefore, being able to give half of the sales rights to the Reims Guild instead of taking back all of the termination of the cooperation is already very face-saving, and they should be grateful to William.

"Elder, why don't you talk to Baron William? We obviously have the strength to eat all the market! Mooa asked with a grovel as he stood beside President Lance, puzzled.

"Don't you see it yet? Baron William no longer needs us, since he officially fought with Viscount Curwen, he is no longer a simple baron, according to rumors, the Earl seems to be very fond of him, this dispute with Viscount Curwen The Earl is biased in favor of William, which is enough for most of the nobles to cancel their tax cards, so he no longer needs our trade routes, and this time he can give us half of the right to sell is already for the sake of our service to him! President Lance sighed and explained to Mooah.

Mo Moa nodded thoughtfully, the experienced president was really not comparable to himself.

Seeing the two away, William took out a piece of parchment, wrote something on it with charcoal, and called Vidal in.

"Vidal, you go and have the herald deliver this document of mine to the territory of the Chekers, preferably to their great chieftain, or to the head of the tribe if that doesn't work." William commanded.

"Yes, my lord, is there anything else you can do?" Vidal took the parchment and asked William.

"No, let's go!"

"No, wait! Go and call me Tus! William stopped Vidal, who was about to leave the house, and told him to take his other servant to the study.

Vidal answered, and walked out of the study.

"What's the matter, sir?" Tus asked as he walked in through the door and stood at his desk.

Sit down first, William said with a smile, now that he has mastered the skills more and more exquisitely, this is all deliberately done by him.

After Tus sat down, William spoke: "That's right, I think my control over the entire territory is a little weak, and I plan to arrange some people in each territory who will help me rule!" Do you know who they are? ”

"Huh? Who is it? Tus asked, a little dumbfounded.

“…………”

William was speechless......

Looking at Tus with an innocent expression in front of him, William couldn't help but want to laugh, and then said helplessly: "Spy, it's a spy!" ”

"Ah, oh, oh, my lord, you said this, then your lord came to me, do you want me to do it?" That's when Tus reacted.

"No, my lord, I can't do this, they all know me, I was seen through as soon as I went, and besides, I can't keep an eye on more than ten villages alone!" Tus felt refused, he was afraid that he would be punished by the Baron for messing up.

William is also drunk, and these four are all stupid people.

At this moment, William had the idea of giving up, but then he decided again to let him be in charge of this matter, as his own servants, he was always more reliable than others, as for Norwen and Hurim, they were to serve as the orthodox leading generals.

"I mean, put you in charge of the spies! Moreover, it is not a dozen villages, but more than fifty, including the villages under the jurisdiction of Comos Manor and the knights' fiefs! William shouted, he really had nothing to say about Tuss's wooden head

"Oh, I see." Seeing William's anger, Tus felt like he was making a statement.

"Alright, let's go down!" William said angrily.

He felt like he was going to be busy for a while......

Sure enough, William has been very busy for a while, very busy, this is all his own fault, Tus was just an ordinary young serf before, neither knowledgeable nor capable, and now he was suddenly given such a big task, obviously it is difficult for him to be competent.

Every day, the report he submits is either a chicken laying two eggs today, or a cow is diarrhea, which makes William very annoyed, and the workload directly increases several times.

But after all, it was Tus who he appointed himself, and he comforted himself that it would be fine when he was skilled and his abilities were honed.

After all, there is no one around me who is both trustworthy and capable, ability can be tempered, and loyalty is not easy to obtain.

No one is born a genius, he believes that Tus can definitely be, like Vidal, who was just a cowardly serf young man at the beginning, but now, after some tempering, William is also very easy to use.

He planned to entrust all four servants with important responsibilities in the future, and now he planned to make them literate, and the illiterate were not up to the task he had assigned.

To William's delight, Tus's learning ability was not bad, and under the guidance of William, a half-man, he no longer reported trivial matters to William, causing his workload to plummet.

I believe that after a year or two of tempering, Tus can become a qualified spy leader, originally William is from the peace zone, the need for intelligence is not so urgent, he has time to wait for Tus to grow up.

Now the spy network of Tus is not large, only fifty or sixty people, but it costs more than fifty silver coins every month.

This is expensive, after all, espionage and intelligence organizations cannot only operate in their own territory, in that case, the use of espionage organizations is not very significant.

The real purpose of this spy organization is to find out the enemy's intelligence, destabilize the enemy's territory, and carry out assassination activities if necessary.

This requires an espionage organization to have a strong executive ability, and local manpower and energy are indispensable, and such an organization cannot be formed in just a few years.

Even if it is formed, the cost is by no means a few, buyouts, bribes, salaries of personnel, as well as the preparation of equipment, technical research, all do not need to spend money, and it is possible to have thousands or even tens of thousands of silver coins every month!

William was not crushed by this huge number, he must form a spy organization, which is related to his future career, and he believes in his ability to make money.

"My lord, the messengers we sent to the territory of the Chekers have returned! The leader of a tribe of the Chekers said he would like to trade with us! And the chief said that he would try to persuade Chief Mutus to come and talk to us. Vidal reported to William.

Look, hasn't this initial plan to attract money already begun?
