Suppose there is one man who can put all of Europa...... No, it's all of France, what will happen if he can gather all the mercenaries of all France together and die for him?

Claim the king's hegemony, make contributions to the founding of the country, leave a name in history, and tell a good story for a hundred generations......

Unfortunately, in reality, he is not very good. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Never underestimate the power of the aristocracy.

Although they were unruly, unwilling to listen to the king, and unwilling to weaken themselves for the sake of the state—after all, they had no concept of the state in their hearts—the nobles could hardly bear the fact that a man would sit on top of them, especially when he was a lowly mercenary.

If such a person really appears, then his only fate is that he will be plucked and cramped when he is alive, and he will be crushed and scattered after he dies, and by the way, those mercenaries who are loyal to him will also have a complete purge.

Chauncey's Carol mercenary group, it is because of such seedlings that they will be pitted by the nobles.

However, because Chauncy was lucky, the Carol mercenary group was a big cripple, so he left a life.

But this time is very different.

With that so-called 'mercenary card', everything is completely different.

Although I still don't understand what the difference is, my intuition, fierce intuition tells Philip that the so-called 'mercenary card' is definitely not normal!

It must not be allowed to spread like this!

That being said, Philip also knew that it would not be easy, and it was obvious from the attitude of the caravans that they had accepted the mercenary badge.

And it's welcome with both hands raised.

Once anything is loved by a wide range of people, it is not easy to ban it.

The reason why the first reaction was to prohibit rather than control is because, although Philip was too clever, he was still a nobleman, and he was born to resist anything that would shake his position, and this mercenary card was one of them.

However, once it cannot be banned, then it is controlled, and at the very least, it is necessary to cooperate.

So, Philip set himself such a goal, wearing the stars and the moon, and setting off on the starry night.

Even so, by the time we arrived in Saint-Malo, it was already noon the next day.

"Rest first! Raise your spirit and act again! ”

Although he was anxious, Philip knew that he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and it wasn't a matter of a day or two for this mercenary card to circulate, and the most important thing they should do at the moment was to find a tavern to rest as soon as possible.

"Little brother, accommodation? Then you should go to the Merchant House, which is not allowed anywhere in the city except the Merchant House. ”

So said a Parisian merchant I met by chance.

It is no longer news that there are many Parisian merchants in Brittany, and since Lefebvre returned to Paris and spread the proclamation of 'one percent higher market price' to buy grain, the merchants of Paris and Orleans have been like carp crossing the river.

However, it was the first time that Philip had heard of the name of this merchant house.

"Isn't it inconvenient to force merchants to live in commercial houses?"

Walking together, Philip took advantage of this opportunity to quickly ask the uncle in front of him who seemed to be chattering.

"It was a little inconvenient at first, but soon, everyone found out about the benefits, and no one complained."

The uncle replied casually, and waved his whip to move the carriage a little farther away, avoiding the faintly unsheathed blades of Lefebvre and the others.

Philip noticed this keenly, and immediately waved his hand to let the cavalry drop their arms, and took the initiative to step forward and stand beside the uncle.

"Oh, you are probably a child from a big family, the first time you go out to do business, I don't know, this business hall, it doesn't cost accommodation for ordinary businessmen, we small businessmen, the capital is limited, you can save a little is a little."

The uncle smiled awkwardly, but he tried his best to explain the merchant hall.

"This merchant house, it was built at the request of the new duke, it is said that that it was originally a baron's mansion, and everything in the room was ready-made, but the name was changed to let people move in."

"Oh, oh."

Philip listened attentively and nodded his head constantly, looking like a young man who had just come out.

"The Duke has ordered that all merchants must stay in the Merchant House, and we don't want to, but what can we do? Human flesh is no harder than steel, but soon everyone found out that there are indeed many benefits in it. ”

A serious listener can always arouse the narrator's desire for satisfaction, and of course, with Philip as a dedicated student, the uncle's mouth can't stop at all.

"Accommodation is free, not to mention this place, as well as food, you know, we businessmen, who are out of business, are not familiar with the place, those hawkers always like to fool people with **** bread, even if we find out, there is no power, and we can only eat dumb losses. But in the merchant house, the bread provided by the merchant house is the same as the outside, but the amount is sufficient, and there is never any sawdust and stone, I am not afraid of your jokes when I say it, every time I come to live in the merchant hall, I have to buy enough bread to eat for dozens of days. ”

There's nothing to laugh at.

In the first chapter of the book, we have explained what the bread of the street vendors was, and the black bread provided by Magnus, although hard and unpalatable, was not murderous for money, which was already a product of conscience in the Middle Ages.

"If that's all it is, forget it, when you're out and about, everyone wants to make money, not enjoy it. But in the merchant hall, because the people who live there are merchants, as soon as they communicate with each other, where and what things have increased in price, and which things have dropped in price, these precious information will be revealed immediately; Sometimes, when you don't have enough cash, you can also borrow money from other merchants in the merchant house; Even if it is only the most direct, there are many merchants in the merchant hall, and there are many merchants who go to the same place or go back to the same place, and everyone can form a huge caravan together, and the cost of hiring mercenaries is evenly divided and it doesn't take a few dollars, which is cheap and safe. ”

The uncle said with some pride:

"To tell the truth, even some businessmen who don't do business in Brittany nowadays often run to the merchant house twice in three days, and the big guys are holding their back!"

Speaking of this, the uncle lowered his voice again, hehe smiled, a little embarrassed, but only slightly, blushing a little:

"When I listen to your accents, I know that you must be Parisians, so we are fellow countrymen. For the sake of fellow villagers, if there is any way to make money, don't forget my brother; It's to go back to Paris, let's work together, and the strength of two people is much greater than that of one person. ”

You don't have a crush on the power of two people, you have a crush on the power of the unwarranted family behind me.

Philip sneered in his heart.

It's just a cart of fur, but eight people are used, and seven of them are fully armed, which is not easy to mess with at first glance, in the eyes of ordinary merchants, it is obvious that the children of a certain merchant family are going out to try.

Philip's heart followed the mirror, analyzing the uncle's mind clearly.

Hug such a big tree - not to mention hugging, under such a big tree, it is always good to enjoy the shade.

Because of this, this uncle will brave Lefebvre's blade to come forward and take the initiative to make a familiar face.

Although everyone actually knows that Philip, the businessman, is pretending, and it doesn't matter if he turns around and leaves now, Philip doesn't think so.

The matter of the merchant hall, as well as the matter of the mercenary certificate, he must find out, at least a general understanding, so let this beautiful mistake continue, in a strange city, a familiar and well-versed 'fellow', there is nothing more wonderful than this.

Moreover, Philip had no idea what Magnus was going to do.

The mercenary card gave the mercenaries a way to unite, and the merchant hall gave the merchants the possibility to gather, as if now, the Parisian merchant in front of him, this uncle, he has already begun to think about starting a small group in Paris!

What good could this do for the rule of the aristocracy?

The scattered power is sand, and it can be kneaded as much as you want, but when this power is gathered together, it becomes a hard stone, and even if the nobles can break it, they have to break their front teeth.

Philip decided that if he couldn't find an answer within two days, he would go to Nantes and confront Magnus face to face, even if he didn't hesitate to reveal his identity.
