The next morning, Sinloth got up early in the morning, he stood in front of the window, looking at the red sun rising in the sky, and his heart was full of emotion.

My territory

[You look at the rising sun in the distance, the source of life. An inexplicable emotion swells through you, and you decide to do something to express your affection for the sun. You hold your head high and place your arms forty-five degrees to the ground. The boundless emotion stirred in my heart, but in the end, the boundless words all turned into nothingness, and all you blurted out was this sentence: Praise the sun! 】

"No, I refuse. I would never do such a stupid thing. ”

When Sinlos made his way up the stairs to the second floor, he saw the newly accepted cook cleaning the room on the second floor. The whole castle is still quite large, and it is undoubtedly very hard to clean it alone. But now that there is no one under Sinloth to use, he can't call those three knights.

Moreover, Sinloth did not let her clean the second floor.

Sinlos glanced at the industrious cook, silently wrote it down in his heart, and without making a sound, he went straight to the hall of the castle. Sure enough, Bismarck was already waiting in the hall with two young men.

"Sir." Seeing Sinloth descending the stairs, the loyal knight hurried forward to salute.

"Ah, sir, Lawrence salutes you."

"It is wonderful to have seen Your Excellency the Baron, and to see you so radiant, and humble Claes salutes you."

See the knight of Bismarc towards the beautiful boy who came downstairs? Saluted, and the two men who were talking in a whisper also hurriedly stopped talking and stepped forward to salute.

"Hmm." Xinluo replied briefly, and Shi Shiran sat down at the long table. Speaking of which, the halls of this castle have always been too shabby. Not to mention the expensive tapestries produced in the south of the empire, not even a decent portrait, it is really a bit excessive. But he can't help it, he can only find a way to do it later.

"I don't want to waste everyone's time, so I'll just say it. I need an agent to help me do something, something that I don't think is convenient for the two of you to understand, right? ”

The two young men glanced at each other, and they both saw the excitement in each other's eyes, and they quickly turned their heads away after understanding their friends' thoughts, they were originally on good terms, but now they were separated by an invisible barrier.

If you're an agent, you only need one, right?

In the past, in order to rapidly expand its territory, the empire used a lot of methods such as marriage and assassination. Although in just a few hundred years, it has annexed several times its own territory in a non-fighting way. However, the hidden danger of too rapid expansion in the past is gradually emerging.

Since a hundred years ago, the power of the nobles has been increasing, especially those fiefdom nobles, although they do not have the courage to rebel, but their small actions in private have never been broken. The seven provinces of the empire, except for the central provinces directly under the empire, have set up private checkpoints and excesses in taxes and miscellaneous taxes. Especially ten years ago, the demon invasion, although it finally retreated, but the emperor lost a lot of prestige, it is inevitable. The nobles did this kind of thing, and it became more and more convenient.

In this case, the big businessmen are better, and they have a wide range of connections, so they naturally have a way to make friends with the big nobles. And the big nobles often sell face to them. But for small merchants or wandering merchants, it's hell. Without a way, they are often charged taxes that are higher than the value of the goods, and even if they barely pay the taxes, they may be thrown into prison on fictitious charges and squeezed out of the last blood and sweat.

This is not alarmist, it has long been confirmed by the blood of countless predecessors. The seniors said: "If you want to become a successful big businessman, then first find a nobleman as a backer." ”

However, it's hard.

The empire lasted for a long time, and even with the restrictions of inheritance laws, the number of nobles inevitably became larger. Unconsciously, the phrase "nobles without fiefdoms are not real nobles" has been circulating in aristocratic circles for a long time. But how easy is it to become an agent of a fiefdom noble? The empire has not had a major war for a long time, and there are very few new nobles, and the big families with a long heritage have their own ways of selecting people, and they will not choose lightly outside the scope of their own families.

But now the opportunity has come. A young, newcomer to the lord. And the lord was sitting in front of him, giving a formal invitation.

But any businessman who has the heart to make a difference will not refuse, right? And these two businessmen, who are currently only following the mountain roads between the various regions, evading the tax collectors everywhere and earning the meager difference, are of course even more unlikely to refuse.

Although no one knows Desmond's situation better than them, this is perhaps one of the poorest realms in the entire empire. However, the fiefdom nobles are the fiefdom nobles, and as the fiefdom nobles, they are allowed to have private soldiers under them. This alone can save countless troubles in the future business. And these two young people are also quite confident in their abilities.

Well, now the question remains

[You see all the expressions of the two people below.] This kind of complex of friends against the purpose for the sake of profit makes you feel extremely happy. You find yourself becoming more and more enthusiastic about manipulating the fate of others, and power is so addictive. You are intoxicated, and dark thoughts arise in your head. In fact, when you see the two of them, the result is already predestined. But it must have been a very interesting thing to give the poor creature a little hope, and then watch him a little bit of despair. 】

"Get out."

The hints of the ball of light were always so accurate and timely, and they were of great help to Cynroth, who was as nervous as the two people below. Of course, this does not hide the fact that he owes money.

"It seems that both of them are smart people, which I appreciate. Since they were all recommended by Bismal, they must also be quite reliable people. Now, convince me. The man who convinced me would be Desmond's treasurer and my foreign business agent. ”

As the name suggests, the treasurer is in charge of the finances of the territory in place of the lord. Because of the ** nature of the territory, this position can be said to be a high authority. The external agent is even more important for the merchants. Whoever becomes a business agent of the lord not only represents the ability of that person, but also represents the absolute trust of the lord in this person.

In the circle of businessmen, without becoming a nobleman himself, these two positions are already the highest honors that businessmen can obtain. And Xinlos opened both positions at once. And it seems that he even wants to give it to the same person.

The two young merchants couldn't help but feel excited, if it was a little forced to join the Cinroth sect. But at this moment, Sinloth's momentum, which was obviously about to make a big move, was exuding a fatal attraction to them.

Anyway, if you are young, if you don't work hard to see what you can achieve, you will always be unwilling.

Looking at the two excited young men, Xinluo nodded slightly: "Very good, then, you guys go out first." I'll give you five minutes, and after five minutes, you will come in separately and try to convince me that it's up to you to decide who will come first. ”

Seeing the lord say this, the two merchants hurriedly saluted, put on their straw hats, and walked out of the castle hall.

Until they disappeared into the doorway, silent, and Bismalco, who had always acted as the background, suddenly spoke: "Sir, if I can, I would like to let Claes take the role" As if afraid that Sinlos did not remember their names, the knight added: "That is, the white-haired one"

Sinloth raised an eyebrow: "Oh? Give me a reason. ”

"I grew up watching them, and both of them were very good young men who wanted to be great businessmen. Lawrence is a very calm and attentive young man, and he is absolutely relieved to leave things to him. But Claes, I can't see through him a little, his heart is too big"

"Well, I see." Cynroth scratched his chin, noncommittal.

Five minutes passed quickly, and the first to come in was Lawrence. He bowed deeply to Sinloth and straightened his face. After seeing Sinloth nod, he began to speak his thoughts.

"That's pretty much it."

"He is indeed a very good person, and he can do this kind of process." Sinloth made no secret of his admiration for Lawrence, an eighteen-year-old young man who had memorized all the goods from several nearby territories. What goods to buy when and on which side, and what goods to sell when and on which side. When should the price increase and when should the price be reduced. How to convince the elderly, children, women, and strong men. Which side of the route is the closest and which side of the road is the best to take. Where the tax officer is easy to fool, which tax officer is shrewd and capable. Not the slightest, not the slightest mess. The few nearby territories were already firmly imprinted in his heart.

If it weren't for the fact that he already had a plan in mind, Sinloth would have even wanted him to be the head of finance.

It's a pity, it's a pity.

But that can't be said, after Cinnlos finished expressing his admiration, he saw that the young Lawrence blushed a little, and chuckled: "You are really very good, I even think but I have to give another person a chance, don't you?" ”

"That's what you said." The merchant saluted and slowly retreated.

"Claes has seen His Excellency the Baron." When the blond young man came in, he didn't look directly into the eyes of Sinloth like his white-haired companion, and he stared at the ground the whole time, not daring to show the slightest pleasure.

"Well, Lawrence is such a great guy that it was an eye-opener for me. So, now it's your turn to talk about your thoughts. Cynroth clasped his hands around and stared at the man he had chosen, though his heart had already chosen him. But if he doesn't have the ability to show off as he did in the stat bar, then he doesn't mind going back on it once.

"Ah, yes"

"Desmond is surrounded by the sea on three sides, which is both its weakness and its strength. However, there is a lot of high-quality wood near Desmond, and you can organize people to go secondly, the local wool is indeed a very good product, and it is also a very popular commodity when sold abroad. It's a pity that because of the sparse population and the lack of lord management, so if you are like this, we have a large number of livestock, and on this basis, if you organize local women to weave, no, you don't need that, if it is a family workshop, you can achieve the same goal at a lower cost, and by this time, Desmond is probably already famous, as long as you can lower the tax rate, then the merchants will probably flock to it. At this point, we can set up some bazaars where the merchants can mingle with each other, and of course, at this point, we will have to think about the dockyards. That's where Desmond comes in."

Listening to Claes babbling below, Cynroth and Bismal couldn't help but be dumbfounded. Despite the manager's assumptions, it has to be said that Claes's plan still sounds very feasible.

"Hey, 54213, isn't this guy really crossing?"

"It's not." The light ball replied as simply as it was.

"By this time, Desmond will also become an important commercial center in the province of Britannia. The rest, that is, judging the situation, this is mainly up to you, the lord. Having said so much in one breath, Claes also had a dry mouth, but despite this, he kept his head down and maintained a humble posture.

"Good, really good." Sinloth clapped his hands and exclaimed, "It seems that my treasurer has been chosen." Sinloth turned back to the knight behind him and asked, "What do you think, Bismar Keqing?" ”

"Quite good indeed"

"Well, there's nothing to hesitate about. Congratulations, Claes. ”

Facing the lord's appreciation, Claes only raised his face at this time, revealing that slightly immature face: "Really"

"Congratulations, Claes."

"Ah, it's Lawrence." Hearing his friend's voice, Claes hurriedly turned around, his face with joy showing a little embarrassment: "I'm sorry, but"

"No, there's nothing to apologize for. If it were me, I'm afraid it would have been the same. The white-haired young man smiled, but he couldn't hide the loneliness in his eyes: "I heard it outside, and I was convinced of the wonderful judgment." It seemed that my experience was still too shallow, and I decided to go somewhere else. Congratulations, Claes. ”

"Hmm"

Seeing the brotherly love between the two, Xinluo also chuckled.

"Of course, when you meet the two of them, it's already a foregone conclusion."

"But, I've gained a lot of knowledge today, haven't I?"

Sinloth tilted his head slightly, moving his gaze to the two young men who were encouraging each other.

Lawrence
