Chapter 250: Arrangement
After putting away the contract that Klaas had signed with blood, a smile appeared on the corner of Rassen's mouth, and his gaze at Klaas softened a lot. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
To be honest, Luo Sheng never thought that he had any 'overlord spirit', let alone that if he showed a hint of solicitation, others would cry and shout to serve him, and he was still loyal. This kind of thinking can only exist in a daydream, and in reality, even a legendary-level master cannot gain the allegiance of others out of thin air.
And this time, Luo Sheng was able to subdue Klaas, a silver rank who was quite good in terms of personal strength and management ability, of course, because of the defeat of Tamil, Klaas had already fallen into the hands of Luo Sheng, and there were not many other options. But the main reason was that Rassen was able to provide Klaas with the money, status, and titles he needed.
Without the temptation of these interests, Klaas would never have chosen to join Rashon so easily, and would probably have fled alone as soon as he realized the defeat of Tamil. With his strength, if he suddenly broke out of the sprout territory and infiltrated the mountains in the north, even if Alyssa mobilized all the strength of the territory, she might not be able to catch him.
In this case, although Rasson needs Klaas's ability, intelligence, and identity very much, Rassen is not really at ease with Klaas. After all, although this kind of allegiance bought by interests is the norm, there are great hidden dangers when Luo Sheng's foundation is not stable. Until a solid bond of interest is established between Rasson and Klaas, it is possible that the outside world will induce Klaas to defect at a slightly higher cost.
So in order to maintain Klaas's loyalty to himself, Luo Sheng gave a promise and also took out this loyalty contract. Although this kind of contract is not like the soul slave contract, which can directly deprive the signatory of all freedoms and rights, it is also quite binding on the signatory. If the betrayal clause of the contract is violated, the host can punish the contractor through the contract.
Of course, although this kind of loyalty contract is regarded by some people who like equality and freedom as a shackle to force their subordinates to remain loyal, it is still relatively fair and can be accepted by most people. Because the contract not only restricts the subordinate party from betraying the master, but also stipulates the various rights and interests enjoyed by the subordinates, which is equivalent to giving the subordinates a guarantee. In addition, this kind of contract does not involve souls and spirits, so Klaas signed the contract happily after making sure that there were no traps in the terms.
"Lord Rasen, this is the list of my spies before. After signing the loyalty contract, Klaas also put down his baggage, took out a written list, and handed it to Luo Sheng as the first vote.
"What do you think I should do with these people?" After Luo Sheng glanced at the list, he nodded slightly and said lightly.
Because Bunir was well prepared during the attack on the Tamil Citadel, leaving little time for the enemy to react, the forces on the Tamil side did not have time to destroy too many secrets. While searching for evidence of the Tamil and the devil's collusion, the Nine Rings White Pagoda obtained almost all the confidential files and materials of the Tamil forces.
Before Luo Sheng returned, Bunier handed over a considerable part of the information to Luo Sheng, including the list and information about the spies in Luo Sheng's territory. And comparing the two lists, except for the two additional Tamil arranged shadows, the other spies arranged by Klaas in the sprout collar are already on the list listed by Klaas.
"If Lord Luo Sheng doesn't mind, I want to convince these people on behalf of Lord Luo Sheng. In the current situation, I believe that the vast majority of people are willing to work for you, Lord Rason. Klaas replied respectfully.
The reason why Klaas took the initiative to persuade his spies to surrender was to save the lives of his subordinates. Now that Rason has killed the Tamil Duke, if these spies do not surrender, then the only fate is to be purged. As the leader of these people, Klaas could not bear to let his subordinates die in vain. On the other hand, it was Klaas who wanted to win over his own group of subordinates and establish a small group of his own.
As a person from a civilian background, who has worked his way up to a high position and led a team, Chris is well aware of the importance of having his own small team in a large force. If he didn't have the right manpower under him, and he would have relied on himself to be a force for Luo Sheng, Chris would have become a thug or consultant for Luo Sheng at most, and it would be difficult for him to be in charge of Luo Sheng alone.
And for Chris, who has a strong desire for power and has always been eager to get ahead and become a real nobleman, it is difficult to get Luo Sheng's attention just by providing advice to Luo Sheng or acting as a thug. If you really want to get ahead in Rason, you must have your own team and make some achievements. And to build a team that is loyal to you, the first step is to bring these spies in the same situation as you into your own command and become your own team.
"Yes. As long as you are willing to surrender, I will accept it, and if you are not willing to surrender, you will solve it. Luo Sheng nodded and said very calmly: "These people will still be under your command in the future, and they will be considered your team." If something goes wrong, the responsibility lies with you and you can take care of it yourself. ”
Luo Sheng knew very well about Klaas's thoughts, but he didn't mind it. It is normal for a faction to have different small groups. Even without the addition of Klaas and these people, the mercenaries, soldiers, and native professionals of Hokuriku under Luo Sheng have all vaguely formed their own groups and factions, and there is some competition between them. No matter how much Klaas there is, it's nothing. As long as the relationship and atmosphere between various groups are well regulated, and there is no obvious internal strife and multiple factions competing within the group, it is beneficial to the development of the territory.
"Thank you, sir, I will definitely assemble a reliable team as soon as possible to open up the Hokuriku trade network for your lordship. Although he expected it, Klaas said excitedly when he heard that Rason allowed him to form his own team.
In Klaas's view, his greatest value to Rasson is that he controls the smuggling business network that Tamil previously operated. Only by re-establishing this business network and turning it into an important source of income for the sprout collar can he prove his worth in front of Luo Sheng and obtain the money and title promised by Luo Sheng.
"Don't be in a hurry about the trade route. Until the problem of the fishmen is solved, it will be difficult to expand the scale of the trade routes, and it will not mean much to us to make a small fuss. Luo Sheng shook his head and said lightly.
Previously, Klaas's smuggling fleet was able to sail the surrounding coastal waters and maintain a smuggling network, mainly because through the devil, there were some transactions with the fishmen of the Blue Frost tribe, and they avoided the attacks of a large number of fishmen. However, even so, Klaas and the others occasionally encountered harassment by small groups of fishmen, and lost some men and ships.
And now, although Luo Sheng now has an armed merchant ship like the Magic Light VII with the symbol of the Nine Rings White Tower, which is enough to deter the fishmen from daring to move, he has not really reached an agreement with the fishmen, or eliminated the threat of the fishmen. Although the Fish-Man will not take the initiative to attack the Sprout Territory due to the prestige of the White Tower of the Nine Rings, without the escort of the Magic Light Seven, there is a chance that the fleet in the territory will be attacked by the Fish-Man after leaving the port.
Although the Magic Light Seven is powerful, there is only one after all. And if you want to really manage the commercial network of Hokuriku, you must use a large number of ordinary ships to act separately, and it is simply unrealistic to rely on the escort of the Magic Light VII, so before the threat of the fish-man is completely solved, Luo Sheng is not ready to develop the trade network of Hokuriku on a large scale, and only needs to do some preliminary preparations.
"Then is there anything I can do for you during this time?" Klaas asked after a pause, a little hesitant.
Klaas now has little capital to come his hands on other than Hokuriku's smuggling network. If Rasson was not prepared to open up Hokuriku's trade route network immediately, Klaas would be almost useless.
"I need you to go back to Fernando and Kerry City to continue to help me recruit people. Luo Sheng smiled and said, "But this time it's not to recruit sailors, but to recruit your colleagues and elite subordinates, are you willing to go?"
Although the Nine-Ring White Pagoda controls the territory of Tamil and even captures most of the professionals under the Tamil's command, this does not mean that the Nine-Ring White Pagoda can directly dispatch these professionals at will. Except for some important backbone figures, most of the other professionals, after the review, the Nine Rings White Pagoda still wants to let them go, and they can't be forced to be loyal to the Nine Rings White Tower. This is the general rule of the Ilmir continent, and it is also the embodiment of the status and freedom rights of professionals, especially those above the bronze rank.
Therefore, although Bunier specially prepared a lot of craftsmen for Luo Sheng before, he did not have the ability to transfer a group of elites among the professionals to directly work for Luo Sheng. If Luo Sheng wants to increase the power of the professional in the territory, he also needs to rely on Klaas, a special subordinate, to re-recruit.
"I do!" Klaas, after a moment's hesitation, patted his chest and promised, "I will do my best to help the Lord recruit the elite professionals under the Tamil command and bring them back to the Sprout Collar." ”
Klaas knew in his heart that although recruiting elite professionals from the Tamil territory might bring him some opponents, it would greatly enhance his value in Rason's heart. And these people who were originally under the command of Tamil were recruited to the sprout collar, and they must be centered on themselves as recruiters. If it is managed properly, the power of his small group will expand rapidly, and he may be able to overpower other factions and become the most important force under Luo Sheng. At that point, a position of power naturally followed.
"Alright, you can take care of the spies in your territory and set off as soon as possible. Master Bunir, the head of the Nine Rings White Tower in the Taylor Kingdom, will give you convenience. ”
