In the deep mountains, there are not only orcs, but also elves, dwarves, ogres, and everything can be encountered. Of course, there are some races and Terrans that are relatively friendly and at least don't kill you as soon as they meet, such as elves and dwarves.

One of the benefits of applying for the right to open up is that you can recruit a certain number of troops in the city. The royal family has certain restrictions on the number of troops that nobles can recruit, and the larger the territory, the higher the title, and the higher the number of troops they can have.

With the title of Baron of House Myron, the maximum number of local defenders that could have been had was 500. After Myron applied for the right to explore, the maximum number of troops recruited was changed to 5000, and the number of people could be increased as the territory increased. Of course, these additional armies cannot stay in the province for more than 3 months.

Myron didn't plan to recruit so many people, because even the most ordinary infantry, 5,000 people would cost 100,000 gold a year with equipment and military salaries. And the reason why Myron agreed to Olivia so readily was because he thought of a way to make money faster.

Compared with these old industrial structures, the emergence of new ideas and new business models is the shortcut to making money. With its unique business ideas and knowledge reserves, Myron can completely monopolize the clothing industry within 2-3 years, which is the key to Myron's development.

Myron has carefully analyzed the clothing industry in the Principality of Lane, which is zero-based and has no formed business model, so this is equivalent to a completely blank market.

And because the traditions of the aristocracy were very different from the philosophies of merchants, most nobles were ashamed to become merchants. This will make people see the prospects of the industry in the early stage of development. It is only after Myron monopolizes the market that some people will realize that this is a big piece of cake. But at that time, there will be an embarrassing situation where the big people disdain to imitate, and the little people can't imitate.

In that case, with the speed at which Myron's wealth was accumulating, he would be able to establish chambers of commerce in various principalities within 2 years, and spread the song of the forest to every corner of the twelve central principalities. At that time...... , Myron can count the money to play every day.

According to the original plan, Myron needs to rely on the Song of the Forest to slowly accumulate wealth and expand the business little by little.

The Duchy of Lane has a total of 6 large cities and 10 small towns. At a minimum, Myron should have 16 shops dedicated to the aristocracy and 16 shops to the common people.

The income of the Song of the Forest last month was 600 gold coins (this month's income completely crushed last month, because someone rented the venue at a high price), and Myron wants to open the Song of the Forest all over the Duchy of Lane, at least 30,000 gold coins, and it will take more than 1 year to operate in a snowballing manner, provided that the new stores opened in other cities are to reach the sales performance of Wingot City. This is obviously impossible, after all, there are not so many princess-like public figures to help promote the song of the forest.

But Olivia's investment gave Myron another option. 200,000 gold coins do not need to be invested all at once, it needs to be done in batches. In this way, Myron can first set up 30,000 gold coins to set up branches of Forest Song in other cities, and then mass-produce the clothing of nobles and commoners in the capital Wingot, and sell them in various regions.

There is also a certain risk in doing so, that is, the stall is too large, and Myron is not specialized in economy, so there may be various problems when operating. And once Myron takes over this task, then a large part of his time will be occupied by the management of the mine and the training of the army, so it is obviously unrealistic for him to manage so many industries. As a result, the Chamber of Commerce, which can take full responsibility for the daily operation of more than 30 stores, has become the only means for Myron to manage the industry in the future.

Myron conscientiously summed up the successful experience of Song of the Forest, and made a very detailed plan for site selection, decoration, transportation, personnel training, finance and other aspects. Then he also allocated 3,000 gold coins for publicity, for Myron, whose business philosophy is more advanced (just relative to the residents of Fangtian Continent), he knows the importance of corporate awareness and brand image, and will spare no effort to improve these two points.

For the Chamber of Commerce, Myron originally planned to give a domineering name, but after thinking about it, he didn't think of a good one, so he simply called it the Chamber of Commerce of the Forest, and this product really likes to be lazy.

On the location of the Chamber of Commerce, Myron thought about it for a long time. First of all, he needs a big field. In order to sell in the 16 large and small cities of the Principality of Lane at the same time, Myron estimates that the production workers will reach about 1,500, and the Chamber of Commerce will also need 500 garrisons and 300 transport teams to be responsible for daily security maintenance and delivery of goods. And if you really count all the employees, the total number should reach about 2,500.

In the Principality of Lane, this scale of manufacturing is unprecedented, and the reason why Myron wants to gather people together is to consider the problem of personnel technical training, and the second is the problem of flow construction. Therefore, even if Myron only recruits zero-based employees, they can adapt to the working environment and manufacture qualified products within half a month.

Since there are so many people to be accommodated, Myron simply rented a 5,000-square-meter space on the edge of the city. Because it was an empty land and on the edge of the city, the rent for a year was only 1,300 gold coins, and Myron happily paid the full amount.

In terms of design, Myron has been instilling new knowledge in Vero, and Vero is indeed talented in the field of clothing. His recent independent designs are no less than many classics on the planet. On the other hand, Myron's design reserves in his head have been almost drained, so he can't help much now.

However, a person's creativity is limited after all, and now that he has money, Myron simply recruited 20 designer apprentices in one go, and asked Vero to focus on cultivating them. Myron is almost certain that in the near future, these apprentices will surely bring him even greater wealth.

The training of skilled workers is also a top priority, and Myron has made all the old employees teachers to guide the new employees on how to do their best in the flow construction process.

In addition, Myron also subdivided many departments, such as the engineering department, finance department, operation department, personnel department, internal service department, etc., anyway, as long as Myron can think of it, he has made it all in one go. In the early stage, these people will follow Myron little by little to learn his immature business management knowledge, and then apply the knowledge to practical work. As for whether there will be any deviation in the combination of these messy experiences, it can only be slowly explored and summarized in future work.

Myron focused most of his energy on the preparation of the Chamber of Commerce, and the simultaneous recruitment and purchase of slaves were handed over to Warner and Isaac.

In terms of recruitment, Myron does not have too many requirements, as long as the age of 15-25 men are in good health, they will all stay. Unlike trading, Myron has extremely strong self-confidence in his ability to command troops. He felt that no matter what kind of soldiers were given to him, as long as it took a year, he could meet his basic requirements.

When it came to buying slaves, Isaac encountered some minor difficulties. The Duchy of Lane does not prohibit the sale of slaves, and slaves are indeed widely used in the Duchy of Lane. However, in the capital city of Wingot, the slave market has always been a small-batch, high-quality slave trade. Myron went to open a mine this time, and the number of slaves needed in the early stage should reach at least 300, and he also needed strong men, such a large number of slaves would be difficult to buy without booking in advance.

So, for the last time he sold more than 100 slaves, Myron faintly felt a little painful. And the thought that they were hard-working orcs immediately rose to the level of frying poached eggs.

Half a month passed in a flash, and during this period, in addition to insisting on practicing magic and losing weight every day, Myron devoted the rest of his time to the construction of the Chamber of Commerce. And Carl suffered a big loss last time, but miraculously did not come to trouble Myron, which made Myron very surprised.

Warner was the first to complete its mission, successfully recruiting 1,000 soldiers. These are all civilians in the capital, they have no other characteristics, the only thing they have in common is that their level is low enough, basically they are all level 1 apprentice knights, and some have no combat experience at all. Most of them had nothing to offer, and when they saw that Myron's monthly salary of 1 gold coin was slightly higher than that of other places, they came over to eat. (The average salary for ordinary infantry in the mainland is 10 gold coins per year)

Their overall quality is so low that even Myron can't help but look at it, and secretly slander whether the bull B he bragged about before can be realized. But there is also a little advantage, that is, they are quite obedient, at least there is no too explosive on the surface, as for what they are thinking secretly, Myron does not know.

In addition to the infantry, Myron also expanded the mercenary group to 100 people, and this time the recruitment was basically level 4 fighters, and Myron planned to train them as low-level officers.

So, while Myron was exercising on his own, he also had to start training these recruits. The chamber of commerce has a large enough open space, and Myron has already built a special forces training ground here a few days ago.

Because he read some military books a while ago, Myron knew that in the Fangtian Continent, the training method of soldiers was very monotonous. Basically, every day he holds a weapon and says, "Ha, ha, ha!" and messes around in front of the air, and every half a month to a month or so, a non-bloody exchange is over.

For this completely useless training mode, Myron was very speechless in his heart. In his opinion, the training of the army should be divided into several steps:

The first is the improvement of individual soldier strength, in this era of cold weapons, no matter how good a general is, he also needs excellent soldiers to support. Only by not being weaker than the opponent in a head-on conflict can the smooth implementation of tactical deployment be guaranteed. Otherwise, no matter how clever your platoon is, no matter how subtle your formation is, if you meet the enemy head-on only and are crushed by the enemy with one blow, then everything is utopian.

There are many aspects to individual strength, and combat skills are one of them, and of course the most important part. Other aspects include physical fitness, survivability, adaptability, etc., and even the performance of weapons and armor, which are also included in individual strength.
