Chapter 275: Army Leasing

The quality of these sea pearls was relatively poor, but Kamodo's approach surprised him, and he stared at the silver coins for a while.

"Lord Castle," Kamodo tapped lightly on the table, waking the Blu-ray Lord from his shock.

"Oh...... Ah," the Blu-ray City Lord suddenly came back to his senses, he swallowed, although Kamodo said that the money was the difference in compensation, but this amount was significantly more, "This is really ...... I'm so embarrassed. ”

Although he said that he was embarrassed, he never took his eyes off the wooden box full of silver coins.

Tens of thousands of silver coins are nothing to Kamodo, but to the Blue Light City Lord, it is a windfall, and it is a huge windfall.

You must know that the annual income of the entire Blu-ray City is only a hundred thousand, and most of the civilians are struggling on the edge of food and clothing, and even the life of the nobles is far less than that of the outside cities.

"Your Excellency, you deserve it. Kamodo waved his hand lightly to let the soldiers retreat, and then leaned in front of the Blue Light City Lord: "Our family has cooperated with you for many years, and we have always believed in one order, that is, we will never let our partners suffer. ”

"That's right, that's right!" The Blu-ray City Lord couldn't help but rub his hands, but the expression of joy on his face was fully visible to Kamodo, "I said a long time ago that cooperating with the Black Star Family was the right decision I made in my life!"

"What is the purpose of cooperation? It's a win-win situation!" A smile appeared on the corner of Kamodo's mouth, the other party had already been moved by himself, so the next thing was much easier to talk about: "My lord, I don't know what you think about the fact that several of our business families are preparing to jointly sanction the Peruvian family?"

I knew that this matter was not that simple, and the Blu-ray City Lord said to himself in his heart.

He frowned, in his original intention, he didn't want Blu-ray City to be involved in the war among these Shang clans, Blu-ray City was weak, and its strength could only be regarded as a middle and lower level among these Shang clans, if he really joined the war, I am afraid that he would soon be defeated.

The blue city lord does like silver coins, but he is not so carried away by these 50,000 silver coins, he still knows very well how much weight he has, those merchants are wealthy, and his peasant army cannot form an effective combat force at all.

These soldiers may be up to the task of catching rogues or thieves, but they really need to go to war against well-trained soldiers......

The Blu-ray City Lord shook his head secretly, I still want to live a few more years.

"This matter, I think the Peruvian family has indeed done a bit excessive, and he is also a merchant clan in the South China Sea, and his behavior must indeed be punished," the blue city lord said down to Kamodo's words, but soon the conversation changed: "It's just that there are many families involved in this matter, the situation of the merchant clan in the South China Sea is complicated, Blue Light City is hundreds of miles away from the South China Sea, and I am an outsider, I am afraid that I will do the wrong thing if I rashly express my opinion, this matter is still up to you." ”

These words pushed me to the ground, and the meaning of the Blu-ray City Lord was very clear, this matter is an internal matter of your Nanhai Shang clan, don't involve me, although the two of us are in a cooperative relationship, but I will not press all my net worth because of your little favor, I can provide you with a place to hold prisoners, and you can also allow your soldiers to enter my city.

But I will never be involved in your fight.

The Blu-ray City Lord has a very clear understanding of his own strength.

......

"What do you think about this, should we send troops, or give up?" Rand sat in his office, he had told Payne exactly what had happened, "I am only worried about two things, if we send troops, the air crossing will fall into a hollow period, and the siege is difficult, we don't have large siege equipment." ”

"I think I can send troops!" Unexpectedly, Payne quickly expressed his opinion: "My lord, this is an opportunity. ”

"Tell me what you think. Rand said.

"First of all, the Peruvian family's request is not for us to participate in the war between their merchant clans, we only need to rescue the imprisoned Lanilus, and the mission is complete," Payne took out a map and pointed to the location of Blu-ray City above. If the news of the Peruvian family is correct, Lord Lanilus should be locked up here at this time, as far as I know, Blu-ray City is not part of the territory of the Capetian family, and the ruling there is only a small family, weak strength, and not outstanding protection ability, it will not be difficult for us to defeat them. ”

"In addition to the original garrison, Blu-ray City also has an army of the Shang clan, numbering more than 300 and well-equipped. Rand rubbed his eyebrows, "And we don't have ships or siege equipment to carry soldiers. ”

"My lord, these are not problems," Payne said meaningfully, "Have you forgotten that Lindong City offers military leasing business?"

Since Ron took over Lindong City, in order to accumulate wealth faster, he has invented many ways to make money, and the army leasing business is also one of them.

This method is not unfamiliar to Rand, and the situation of the mercenary group is not much different, the difference is that most of the mercenary groups hired by silver coins are stragglers, and their combat effectiveness is naturally not as good as that of the army in Lindongcheng.

But it is matched by high rental prices.

Ron's asking price is oddly high.

"We only need to rent a black sailboat to carry artillery and catapults," Payne explained, "Neither the Shang nor the Blue Light City have cavalry, as long as they break through the city gates, they are definitely no match in a head-on battle!"

Rand's heart thumped, Payne's proposal made his eyes light up, yes, why didn't I think of this just now, although Ron and his relationship are not too good, but at least the silver coin is realistic.

Rand didn't feel that Ron's profit-oriented personality would give up the way to make money for personal reasons.

"My lord, don't be busy," Payne reminded, and he stepped forward, "What I just said is just a battle plan, but what about the benefits?

Payne never thought that a partnership alone would allow a lord to take the risk to raise an army, and the deep friendship in this world did exist, but it was not strong in the face of interests.

Joke, let's take the army to attack another city, suffer casualties and losses, is it just for that painless thank you?

While the Peruvian family did give the Lordship a lot of help, it wasn't enough for the lord to wage a war of thousands.

In the final analysis, Payne felt that this matter must be supported by sufficient interests, otherwise he would definitely not agree to send troops.

In this real world, there is no shame in thinking about the supremacy of profit, on the contrary, it is the most foolish thing to recklessly dedicate oneself because friendship and other illusory things.
