Today, Morey went to procure some supplies, and Goud once again showed his bargaining ability to kill all sides.

As soon as he returned to the inn, Morey saw Pragg, who was anxiously waiting at the merchant's house.

"You're saying that your guests for this autumn auction were robbed by pirates in the Black Sea?" Morey also heard the alarm just now, but he didn't expect it to be because of this incident.

"Yes, this is a provocation to the gold coin auction house, and we will not tolerate it! So I also hope that Baron Morey can lend a hand, and our gold coin auction house will definitely not treat friends badly! ”

Under Prager's description, Morey gradually learned the cause and effect of the incident. Today, a female mage with a sad expression staggered to the security department of the Emerald City to report that the merchant ship of the Dragonwing Islands participating in the auction the day before yesterday had been attacked by pirates, and she escaped through any door engraved on the robe, and the people on board were said to have been more than lucky.

Before the Garrison Department could verify the correctness of the information, the Church of Wauking sent someone to take the transcript and asked the Garrison Division to immediately send ships to cooperate with them in the suppression of pirates. Not long ago, the sacrificial fleet of Lady Fortune's "September Magic Festival" suddenly cut off contact, and it is estimated that there has been an accident now.

A lonely survivor of the fleet is naturally nothing, but with the orders of the Woking Church, the Garrison Department cannot pretend to be deaf and dumb.

As the purse string of the Church of Waukin, the gold coin auction house immediately began to mobilize its own network and hire all armed forces to join the purge.

Morey's caravan, which was composed entirely of formed professionals, naturally came into their sight. That's why Prager waited here early.

“... So as long as Baron Morey and your army go out with our warships this time, we will spend all the food and grass! At the same time, during the war, we hire your soldiers for 2 gold coins per day for a soldier. In the unfortunate event that your soldier dies, we will pay double the pension. ”

"For you and your generals, after the war, you can go to our auction house's treasury and get a free item up to 5,000 gold, if the selected item is higher than 5,000 gold, you can also deduct 5,000 gold and buy it at a very low price."

Prager's offer is not high, two gold coins are already a month's salary for Morey's city guards, and it will take four or five days to go to sea, which is equivalent to helping Morey raise these soldiers for half a year.

As for Hyde, they and themselves can go to the treasure house after the clearance and pick a commodity worth 5,000 gold coins, which is comparable to the price of a magic weapon.

"I ...... answer"

"Butler Prager, that's how you perfunctory my employer? I wonder what Director Blotto would think if he wanted to hire a group of battle-hardened warriors at such a low price? Morey was about to say yes, but was interrupted by the sudden appearance of Gode.

"Baron Morey, is he?" Prager's face was a little ugly, but he really didn't mean to humiliate Gourd. Although Gourd was a well-known broker in the lower classes, Prager came into contact with all the big dealers and had no dealings with him at all.

"I haven't introduced you yet, Gourd. Darkmoon, our tax collector in Red Leaf City. Morey turned his head slightly, and he lost the hat of the fourth person in Red Leaf City. The tax collector is a technical official position, so many nobles will hire professional tax collectors to act as their own tax officers.

"Hello, Tax Collector."

"Hello, Steward Prager."

Then the two reached an agreement in a "cordial and friendly" atmosphere.

First of all, the price of a soldier's hire was raised to five gold coins per person per day. Secondly, the price of the free selection of goods has been increased to 10,000 gold coins. In the end, Hongye City also received an interest-free loan of 200,000 gold coins for the Hongye City infrastructure project, which will be repaid in ten years.

In exchange for the increased cost of hiring, Momiji Castle will form an offensive and defensive alliance with the Gold Coin Auction House. When the interests of the other party are harmed, the covenant must be observed, the other party must be actively assisted, and the cost of employment will not be lower than that of hiring Filipino maids today. The last Goad naturally asked Morey before agreeing.

As a modified plan, both parties are still relatively satisfied. Although Prager spent a little more money, he pulled in the strong neighbor of Momiji City as his thug.

The time when the pirates looted the merchant ships of the Emerald City was faintly shadowed by several other chamber of commerce cities on the East Coast. As the largest chamber of commerce in the Emerald City, the fate of the Gold Coin Auction House and the Emerald City has long been tightly tied together, and both are lost.

Having a tooth knocked out and swallowed in the stomach is not the style of a gold coin auction house. Maybe the time will come to "visit" these neighbors, so instead of alliing at that time, it is better to tie Morey to his ship now.

Morey is naturally very satisfied, not to mention the doubling of the employment price, the interest-free loan of 200,000 yuan alone has greatly alleviated his debt pressure. Now that the business model of Morey's magic props has not been fully established, with this loan of 200,000 yuan, some aspects will no longer have to be stretched, and it can also make the new Red Leaf City he imagined appear as soon as possible.

"Hehe, City Lord Morey, you have given me a good position." Gourd joked.

He had already broken up with Morey just now, but he suddenly thought that there was another chamber of commerce whose items needed to be shipped a few days late, and if Morey shipped this batch of goods back by himself, he might be able to save dozens of gold coins. As a competent broker, of course, he had to provide this information to his employer, and this is when Prager hired soldiers from Morey.

"If Mr. Gou De doesn't think Red Leaf City is small, what if he really gives you the position of tax officer?" Morey wasn't kidding, he really lacked an economic talent under his command right now. The structure of their current talents is very unreasonable, and they have all those who are charging into battle and planning themselves, but there is a shortage of talents in this kind of economic and people's livelihood development.

Corey is just hardworking and loyal, but he has little talent when it comes to economic development. Gou De was the head of a chamber of commerce, and he had also formed an ocean-going fleet, so he naturally had much more insight than Corey.

"Hehe, Baron Morey said he was joking!" Gourd wouldn't join an aristocratic camp just because of these two days of contact. Compared with a relatively free broker, once you join the administrative system of a nobleman, although you will get a big backer, you will also gain a lot of enemies. And many times, even if you resign from this position, the impression that you are their enemy will remain in their minds. The aristocracy is very vindictive.

This is unacceptable to Gode, who pursues freedom.

The Blacksmith Tavern is located in the port area of the Emerald City, and because the owner is a mid-level demon blacksmith and has cheap drinks, it has become a favorite place for professionals, especially war professionals.

The day was supposed to be the least crowded time of the day at the Blacksmith's Tavern, and those who were drunk and came back in the middle of the night with a lot of aroma would take advantage of this time to catch up on sleep.

But now in the hall on the first floor, there was a group of people talking loudly around a list of mercenary tasks that had just been pasted on a pillar.

The movement in the center of the hall attracted the attention of a group of warriors sitting in the corner.

"Max, go see what's going on." The leader turned to a large boy who was carefully counting the peas in his hand.

"Hey, I'm wrong again. Well, got it, boss! The boy rubbed his brown hair, which was like a chicken nest, and as he answered, he covered all the salt peas in his palm.

Although the place was already surrounded by a crowd, Max soon squeezed to the front of the pillar with his tall stature far beyond his peers.

You must know that these mercenaries who often come and go on the verge of life and death are not good-tempered, and when the big tall man collided with him, they also held back their strength, wanting to give this unruly little ghost a good look.

Unfortunately, when Max's shoulders collided, they all involuntarily stepped aside, and Max walked straight to the front, as if all he had just touched were some dead grass and twigs.

"This guy has a lot of strength!" Several familiar warriors, seeing each other rubbing their shoulders covertly, couldn't help but have such thoughts.

Max walked up to the pillar and stared at the list of bounty tasks for a long time, his expression becoming more and more solemn.

"Is it possible, what does he have to do with that maritime merchant?"

"I guess yes, it's really miserable, I heard that there was a living mouth."

"Brother, be strong! Everything will pass! A warrior patted Max on the shoulder with a look of concern.

Then they saw Max slap himself on the head.

"I forgot, I'm illiterate!" Max looked like he had come to his senses.

“......”

Fortunately, Max caught someone who was not stupid by him and carefully inquired about the content of the mission.

"Oh, did those Golden Sparkles be robbed too? It's interesting. ”

"Captain, are we going to take this task?"

"Pick it up, why not! Just take a look at which group of people who don't have long eyes and dare to provoke this group of gold cans. Although these guys are not very good at fighting, they are really TM rich! He drank half a glass of ale in his hand, then got up and took over the task with his brother. At this moment, he seemed to feel like King Arthur who led a group of bitter slaves to revolt, except that King Arthur was rebelling against the brutal elven nobles, and what he wanted to defeat was the group of nouveau riche who wanted to gild their bread.

......

"Young Master, why did you take that task? This Waujin church is in a lot of trouble this time! I've heard it all, and even their gold can't use prophecy to find out who is behind it. This water is very deep! A man who looked like a butler was trying to admonish the young man with an excited face.

"Hehe, young master, I finally encountered such a fun thing, and you actually asked me to retreat?! Wade, I can tell you, if you stop me again, I'll let you go with John!" ”

Wade had to shut up, he didn't want to be such an old bone and be like those poor guards, tied hands and feet, stuffed with rags in his mouth and thrown into the cellar, he couldn't afford to lose that man!
