Chapter 159: Money-making plan!

Just the operation of its own chamber of commerce, even if it is overloaded, it can't handle it! The number is definitely not enough! If you want to eat the vegetable market of the whole empire, relying on the Ted family, you will be exhausted!

Right now, he needs people, a lot of people! In addition to the caravan, there must be enough guards.

"Why don't you ask Baron Tomato?"

Now, he can't think of any other candidate than this person! Besides, this money-making thing can't be cheaply given to outsiders, so it's better to pull Baron Tomato along!

He is the only ally in the alliance, and pulling him to make money together can also promote friendship between the two families and enhance the relationship between the two sides.

If you have an idea, you must act immediately, so as not to have too many dreams at night!

So Ted immediately took out his walkie-talkie and called Baron Tomato: "Hey! Is it Ben West? ”

At this moment, Baron Tomato is eating watermelon while blowing the air conditioner, sitting in the living room, playing chess with his ancestors, leisurely, very comfortable!

Hearing the walkie-talkie ring, Ben West burped, threw the watermelon rind into the trash, and wiped his hands with disposable tissues from the North before picking up the walkie-talkie!

In his unique cheerful tone, he was surprised: "Yo! Ted! I'm blowing the air conditioner in the house, are you okay? ”

What Ted fears most is that no one will answer when he calls, but Ben West is not a hypocritical person, and he will not wait for the walkie-talkie to shout three times before responding, he sighed, stretched, and said his thoughts: "Of course there is something!" I'd like to ask you to borrow some carriages and carts..."

When he heard that the 'advanced' Earl of Harrington actually needed such a traditional means of transportation, Baron Tomato thought he was going to make a movie: "Huh? Don't you have a truck? What do you want to do with these backward things? ”

Ben West was not an outsider, and Ted didn't need to keep it a secret from him, so he said honestly: "Technology is to be kept secret, try not to let outsiders know!" We are not strong enough to take down the entire empire! ”

Hearing Ted in Versailles, Baron Tomato smiled heartily, and did not open his mouth to complain about this "people-loving" and "over-cautious" person.

If it were Ben West, he would have one-thousandth of Ted's strength, and he would call the entire empire.

However, they have been Buddhists for thousands of years, and unless they are more than 90% sure, they will definitely not attack at will.

Baron Tomato picked up a glass of watermelon juice, took half a sip, and after thinking for less than three seconds, he already had an idea: "What you said makes sense, the truck I ordered will arrive tomorrow, but fortunately, I didn't take these old tools you said to chop wood for fire... Or it's hilarious! ”

As soon as he heard that the thing was still there, Ted breathed a sigh of relief, and gradually cut into the topic from 'wool': "Hey, hey, since there is, I have a money-making business, go and collect the wool of other nobles!" I wonder if you're interested? ”

Baron Tomato had never heard of this kind of word with a stealth meaning, and he did not know the specific meaning: "The nobleman's house... Raising sheep? ”

Ted covered his face and tried hard to keep himself from laughing: "This is a metaphor, through reasonable business means, to make other people's money!" ”

Something else, Ben West doesn't understand, but 'make money', even a fool understands! And he never refuses such good things: "Oh... Is it to make money? ”

"Yes!"

"Then of course I'll follow!"

"That's... How many people can you have over there? I need a lot of people to transport, guards..."

Ben West had already seen Ted's methods, and if he said that he made a small profit, it would be equivalent to a full warehouse! Ordinary money, means more!

In order to be able to 'have a big meal' with Ted, he directly reported the maximum number of people who could be dispatched: "300,000 people, if the Sun God Cult you engage in can operate, we will have 20 million people!" ”

It's a good idea, but the 'flickering' work has just been promoted, and it's not realistic to get them out, and you have to wait at least 2 months, and most of them are honest people, who like to live and work in one place, and don't like to run around.

But that's just for now, when the transportation is developed and they can reach any corner of the empire in one day, they will love to travel, after all, Homo sapiens are migratory animals!

After thinking about it, Ted vetoed the plan: "They? Not for the time being, I want to play a big ticket this time, this group of people have to have their own work to do, the factory has been built, and when the time comes, I will also build railways and roads, and pay them wages and supplies with work relief! With them helping to pack the food, we can dump a lot of goods! Secretly, in the name of Steve, fight against them! ”

Make a fortune with a muffled voice, and then strike hard! It should be fun to implement!

Ben West agrees: "Makes sense! Then let's put some of it in first, and when your church is ready, we can get the people in the church to join! Batch after batch of things shipped out! ”

Ted put down the happy water in his hand, listened to Ben West and himself think together, and couldn't help but be overjoyed: "That's it!" Perfect! ”

With all the problems solved, it's time for action!

"When do you want someone?"

"The sooner the better, starting tomorrow at noon, I will find a professional and draw up a few routes according to the map in the meantime! In addition, we also need a certain escort team to ensure that the goods can be safe! ”

"It's all easy to do, but... Speaking of convoys, what weapons are you going to let them use? ”

"I'm not too worried about this, because all the refugees in the empire have come to us, and only bandits and rogues are left outside, although there are a bit of a lot of them, but I don't think a gang of rabble will pose much of a threat! Such! I'll give them pre-loading muskets and bayonets, and we'll send out no fewer teams, and planes will follow them in the sky! ”

As soon as he thought of the plane's reconnaissance, Ted instantly had a solution: "You say, I directly uprooted the lair of those robbers and bandits, what do you think?" ”

"If you can handle it, our team can be expanded!"

"Good! See you tomorrow at noon! ”

The robbers' lair in the dark times is not too secretive, and in order to highlight their strong power, they usually choose a certain mountain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, or set up a stockade in a certain jungle.

Such a place is difficult to find on the ground, but it is easy to detect from the sky, and Ted can also take the opportunity to test the specific power of the bomb and the accuracy of the scope.

In the absence of hostile airfire, a bombing mission is approximately equivalent to a live-fire military exercise!

Now, Ted doesn't have enough air force pilots, so he can only let the special forces guys take a part-time job!

So...

"Joseph !!"

"Huh? Sir? Got a task? ”

Listening to the voice on the other side of the intercom, Ted slowed his tone, it seemed that they were doing flight training instead of looking at SpongeBob SquarePants.

"There is indeed a task, I need you to raise all the lairs of bandits and bandits in the empire, we have to seize the imperial market and monopolize it in advance! Guarantee the safe delivery of goods! ”

This task is about the same as quelling civil strife, and the difficulty is less than or equal to five on the premise of high-tech weapons: "No problem, when will it start?" ”

"Tomorrow at noon!"

"Tomorrow at noon... ok! When the time comes, we can dispatch 10 bombers, and as long as there is a location and coordinates, we can do it! ”

"Coordinates!" Ted covered his face, and he realized the problem of coordinates!

Aimless investigation is a waste of time and resources, so it's better to find out the news first, find the specific location, and solve it all at once!

"I'll send you the coordinates as soon as possible! You train first! ”

"Yes!"

Sitting in a chair in the office, Ted bowed his head and was worried about the coordinates, and as soon as the CPU smoked from his brain, a guard came to him with a letter.

"My lord, this is an urgent matter, and you need to come in person!"

"Say!"

"We interrogated the prisoner you brought, he claimed to be a confidant of the fifth prince Steve, and you have Steve's handwritten letter in your hand, I don't know where he stole it... In addition, judging from the tokens on his body and his confession, he is disguised very similarly! It's perfect! As a last resort, we used some means! But his mouth is still hard..."

With a token and a handwritten letter, there is a high probability that what he said is true, but the interrogation department has always been like this, even if it is true, he has to be beaten: "Uh... Camouflaged a lot of similarity? I'll have to see what happens! Lead the way! ”

"This way, please..."

...

When he came to the cell, Ted didn't talk nonsense, but directly dialed Steve's channel: "Steve, are you there?" Here's a guy who claims to be your cronies, no name, only a code name, called 'Mole', is he your man? ”

"Describe what you look like, and let me hear the voice."

"Wheat-colored skin, brown pupils, deep forehead lines, young age, and a less obvious scar on the left chin..."

After describing his appearance, Ted turned to look at the dirty man in front of him: "Hey! You say it out loud! ”

The man had no idea what was happening in front of him, he just looked at the richly dressed man in front of him and said something to an iron bump?

Looking at this strange everything, he subconsciously responded: "Say what? ”

Ted lifted the walkie-talkie and confirmed to Steve, "Did you hear that?" ”

"Well, it's him, the child I adopted from the street, and he's been helping me gather intelligence!"

"Well... Fortunately, there is no danger, and no one knows about his existence! ”

At that time, Ted didn't kill him, and now he has an extra bonus!

In addition, judging from the memoirs retrieved from the enemy, they did not have a portrait of the 'Mole', so this person could be put back and continue to gather information.

After receiving Steve's personal confirmation, Ted personally opened the cage and handed the walkie-talkie in his hand to the 'Mole': "Say a few words to Prince Steve!" ”

The cronies took the glowing piece of iron suspiciously, and tentatively asked, "Your Highness?" ”

"It's me! The test was an accident, and I'll make it up to you! ”

After half a year, listening to this familiar voice, this cronie almost burst into tears: "It doesn't have to be like this, Your Highness!" I feel so relieved to hear your voice! ”

"Okay, let's make a long story short, I'm going to be the emperor, the Earl of Herrington next to you, and the Baron Tomato, will help me, you have to use your intelligence network to help our alliance as much as possible! I'll come back to you when I think about the rest! ”

'Mole' doesn't know exactly what has happened in the past six months, but it doesn't matter, since Steve took him in and gave him a way to live, this life is his!

Every minute and every second of his breath is a gift from Steve!

And now he told himself that he was going to be emperor, and the mole would do everything he could to help him do it!

"Understood! I'll do my best! Helping you ascend to the throne! ”

The conversation between the two was fast, and the tacit understanding between them for many years made it impossible for them to communicate too much, and they could see each other's meaning over the radio.

"See you later!"

"Yes!"

...

Putting down the walkie-talkie, the mole raised his head and looked at Ted: "Lord Earl, if you need information about the territory of the empire, you can just mention it to me!" The intelligence network I have assembled covers the entire empire! ”

The FBI intelligence unit formed by Ted is not large enough, and it is a little late to infiltrate now, and now there are ready-made ones! It's still your own people! No need for nothing!

"That's great!"

Ted really wants to keep this person, and slowly asks for useful information from his mouth, but from the point of view of the moment, put him back in order to maximize his effect!

"You should have slept enough, then I'll gossip less, after all, you are your own person, so..."

...

It only took Ted half an hour to tell him the news he needed, and he gave him a walkie-talkie by the way!

Even if the mole does not carry his own confidential document book, but he has been engaged in intelligence work for many years, his brain memory is also very good, and it is not difficult to remember everything, and it is not difficult to write down what has happened recently.

"Lord Earl, there are 6 bandit lairs near here that you just mentioned, and I know the addresses, so you can start first! As for the safe route, there is no such thing, I only know of a safer route, if you have a map, I can point it to you! ”

"No problem, follow me!"

...

On the way to City Hall, Ted pulls a revolver out of his bag.

"According to our 'investigation' of you, you don't know how to fight, but you are a helpless person, and in order to ensure your safety, I have a side-by-side weapon here! You take it and use it..."

Other kinds of pistols, for the person in front of him, are not the best choice.

The revolver is easy to operate and easy to maintain, 6 rounds are enough to get out of danger and get out of the way, which is perfect for such an informant!

Taking the strangely shaped weapon, the mole put it in his hand and played: "How do you use this thing?" ”

"Uh... Tell us the location of the robbers' lair first, and an instructor will teach you how to use these two things! Eventually, we'll send you back at night, and continue to lurk in the Empire to help us find out! ”

The Earl of Harrington in front of him is also a cheerful person, not a word of what he said just now is nonsense, nor is he pretentious, and has a clear goal!

It's a pleasure to deal with people like that! In this way, the progress of the task in the future will not drag the mud and water, but will become an arrow from the mystery! Gone and never looked back.

But there's one more thing!

That's the mole is shy in his pocket, and Steve's funds are not enough...

If you want to maintain such a large network, even if the informants are all beggars, you have to touch them with something from time to time.

"That, Lord Earl, I have run out of funds given by His Royal Highness Steve, I wonder if you can give me some, and I will tell Your Highness when the time comes..."

The last thing Ted lacked was money, especially gold: "Say, how much?" ”

“20...”

At this time, the two happened to be in the town hall, and when they crossed the corridor to the innermost office, Ted responded: "20...No problem..."

When he opened the door just now, a gust of wind blew, causing Ted to not hear clearly what unit was being said behind, so he opened one of the safes full of gold bricks according to his own thoughts, and took out 20 gold bricks and put them on the table.

"Can you hold it? Do you want me to send someone to transport you there? ”

"Uh..."

The mole looked at the 20 10-kilogram gold bricks in front of him, and touched his chin in deep thought.

"What, not enough?"

"Uh... Enough is enough! I just want 20 gold coins, just a small gold brick, I don't know if you can make such a generous move..."

According to Ted's thoughts, it should be expensive to win over informants, and these are only enough for a month.

After the mole's prompting, he remembered that the empire was not rich, and everyone used copper coins to buy things, silver coins for large families, and gold coins for nobles...

But it's all already taken out, and Ted can only carry out the pretending b to the end: "Ahem... Then you just look at it and take it..."

These 10 kilograms of bricks are not only inconvenient to pick up, but also inconvenient to use: "That... My lord, do you have a smaller one, a small piece of one kilogram, I will keep fifty yuan as a reserve, as a bribe deposit, and it will be faster and more convenient to get information when the time comes! ”

"No problem, it's just that I don't have the little one, I'll be ready when I send you back to the empire in the evening!"

"Oh, that's... My lord, may I ask how I got here? The northern border is more than 1,000 kilometers away from the imperial capital! ”

"You'll know when the time comes!"

The mole slept all night, and since he entered the fortress, he didn't know anything ...

Ted knew that no matter how he explained it, it was better to experience it himself, so he wasted no time answering it.

Because of the battlefield where I went to intercept in the south, a report was sent, waiting to be dealt with by myself!
