Wright was there, pointing to his chin, probably surprised why Mushroom Head was so serious with himself? Could it be that whoever is called and where is the county magistrate is called, isn't it the grand duke who has the final say? Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"The first problem is that Sith County was originally only an area dominated by agriculture and animal husbandry, and although there were iron mines, Ruben invested very little. Now Sith County had to dig pits, burn bricks and soil, engage in river transportation, and build a large number of workshops, and many things had to be created out of nothing, and they could not follow the rules, so what was needed was an eclectic and flexible man like Wright; As for the county of Tarsus, the first task is to establish a second-line team, that is, Jinat will be slowly integrated with the garrison army, as a backup to the 'three-wing brigade', to clarify a lot of cumbersome affairs, what is needed is a serious and trustworthy county magistrate like you, and immediately Anna and I are ready to move the court to Tarsus, and it will be the primary area of the entire kingdom in the future, and order and security will be more at ease for you. I'm also using the measure for the sake of it. Gawain explained it very carefully, and Androdart, after receiving such an answer, also accepted it calmly.

"The second question is that I am going to build three more 'border districts' outside the three counties, one with the city of Caron in South Cappadocia as the central core, the other with the city of Vanka in the north of Cilicia as the central core, and the other with the Lamplenburg guarding the Cilician Gate as the central core. The responsibility of the border area is to guard the border, build the advance station of the three-wing brigade, and cooperate with the auxiliary army to fight. The heads of the generals of the three border districts, respectively, Walter . Sanzabal, Branas, and Orson all have the power to dispose of them in Fang Town, and I won't interfere too much. In the future, our military system is that the border people's army in the border area is the first echelon, responsible for guarding the border; The three-wing brigade stationed beside me is the second echelon, responsible for the decisive battle in the field; The garrison is the third echelon of the reserve, responsible for auxiliary and substitute. That's what I think. After Gao Wen finished interpreting, he turned to the three of them and said, "In this era, any country needs the six pillars of grain, horses, iron, fabrics, salt, and gold and silver, so no matter how difficult it is, we must build them completely, and we can't fake them to others, which is equivalent to being controlled by others." So you'll have to do a good job for me, Wright! ”

"Yes, yes!" Wright said busily.

"As to the third question, I have two roads to spare, but I can only tell you the first for now, and that is to recruit the great merchants of this sea to contract the iron ore of Tranzac, and you are right to be feared, for almost all of the year's revenues have been spent on the war, and there is really no room for me to inject money into these things. Therefore, my 'road' is to adopt the method of contracting and attracting investment, and the output of iron ore is not fixed, but only profit-sharing. First, some mines and pits are tendered separately, the risk is minimized, and the five-fifth account is fair and reasonable. I believe that once the little sunfish drafts this tender document and posts it, there will soon be Venetian, Amalfi and even Armenian businessmen to bid, so that we can get iron, merchants can make profits, and the people of the Sith county can also solve the employment and salary, which is really a good strategy for a win-win situation. As for Article 2, it will be kept secret for the time being. After Gao Wen finished speaking, he crossed his waist and laughed proudly, looking full of confidence.

"Then I'm going to draft the paperwork, so you're going to stay in Trollzak until March?" The little sunfish asked.

"Hmm...... The coming March is likely to be a stormy day, and the situation on the sea and land will change dramatically during the month, especially for Seleucia...... With the completion of a magnificent building,......" Gawain's hand slapped heavily against the wall, "so I must wait until the dust settles on the iron ore contract before I can safely deal with the storm that follows and steer the ship from capsizing." ”

The first path taken by Gawain is that there is no problem, not to mention modern times, even in ancient times, there are countless examples of such public works contracted by merchants or powerful people. Many of the canals, dams, bell towers, and mines left behind in continental Europe today were actually the crystallization of the national royal family's bidding and private contracting.

Therefore, Gawain was very interested, and after posting the paperwork, he waited at the Château de Tranzac for ten days: the chambers of commerce of the Italian states of Seleucia and Adana can also send envoys to me at this time, and they are clamoring and clamoring for the contract of iron ore, right?

So when Gawain got up, dressed neatly under the service of the Turkic military servants, walked down the castle room, and came to the reception hall, he was inexplicably excited.

But when he walked into the hall, he was dumbfounded and froze:

In the empty hall, the little sunfish sat at the writing table through the feather screen, napping with his chin in his hand; Several clerks were scattered in front of their seats, some talking in whispers, others yawning listlessly, and outside the hall, Dim was walking back and forth with a few halberd-wielding guards, and looked out into the street a little desperately.

Apart from these people, there was no one else in the whole hall, not to mention the merchants in their complicated and ornate coats, not even the merchants' leg hair and beard.

"This, that's it...... It's embarrassing......" Gawain took a breath and repeated his thoughts with chagrin.

Later, his mind reflected that he was indeed a little ahead of his time: Anatolia had neglected to repair water conservancy in the countryside under Byzantine rule, let alone contract other public works; For the Italian merchants of this era, the business in their eyes was more simply to buy, transport and sell goods, otherwise it was to ask for commercial streets and warehouses, and they were accustomed to contracting resources and public works may have to wait for many years.

But Gawain still did not give up, he continued to stay in Tronzak for several days, waiting for the "true man" to appear, but in the end this tender was still unpopular, "after all, at once the amount of about 30,000 Byzantine gold coins to invest in minerals for a long time, no Italian businessman or chamber of commerce has the confidence and courage to do so." After all, they are still in the most primitive stage of the primitive accumulation stage of capital......" After learning the hard way, Gawain finally made up his mind and once again admitted that this matter would not work, and it seemed that the development of iron ore needed to take a second path.

However, the premise of the second path is that he and Anna can hold on after the March storm!

Gather courage and faith, haven't you always survived like this before? Believe that you have the blessing of the devil in you, and even the emperor will not be able to defeat you—Gawain came to the small fence of the tower at the top of the castle, and he saw the magnificent and beautiful sight of the whole plain of Cilicia, and then there was a clattering sound around him, and he turned his eyes to see that the iron wind vane on the small fence was turning: from the ocean from there, the wind of spring and summer, the warm south wind!
