327: Chapter 327: Preliminarily Ford Team 327: Chapter 327: Preliminarily Ford Team Miller was only 52 years old, but he looked older than Qiao Miya, who was 54.
Perhaps it was because the housekeeper paid more attention to his own image, which is why he seed to be so.
As for his own self-praise, the three people didn’t show much reaction.
But that was normal, after all, it was their first ti eting him, and they had never heard of him before, so how could they have any impression?
“I ca to the Imperial City this ti to receive my enfeoffnt.
If everything goes as planned, then I should own a territory of my own.
Afterward, I will need you to help manage the territory,” he said.
The few people were sowhat surprised.
As a noble, didn’t he have his own team?
Why did he need to establish one on the spot?
Zhao Guang seed to read their thoughts and directly said, “I co from a common rchant background, and it was only because of my military achievents that I was able to be enfeoffed.
I originally did not have any support.”
The three people understood, but were then surprised that a rchant could have military achievents.
Indeed, without military achievents, how could one qualify to own a territory?
Even those desiring to beco pioneering lords needed military achievents.
Nobles who rose through other routes typically only had a title.
Seeing the change in their expressions, Zhao Guang felt satisfied in his heart.
Although they were not completely subdued, after all, they were his slaves, and it was okay to take it slow.
For slaves that fully belonged to one’s own property, gaining their loyalty was very easy.
“Then, think about what else you are missing.
I will provide everything at once.
If we were at the border, so items might not be so easily obtainable,” he said.
Although it wasn’t difficult for him, Zhao Guang didn’t state it directly right now.
The three exchanged glances, and finally, Qiao Miya spoke first, “Well, I used to have several assistants who probably haven’t been sold yet.
Could you possibly secure them as well?
With these people, many tasks will beco much easier.”
Zhao Guang nodded, “No problem, we might as well take a few more people.”
People here were really inexpensive.
After finding the previous old man, Zhao Guang made his request.
The old man smiled widely, “Don’t worry, I’ll look for them right now.
If found, along with him, this group of people, because they have no particular characteristics, haven’t been sold and are all here, all sixteen of them.”
“What’s the price?” Zhao Guang asked.
“These people are of lower value and do not co with a slave contract, just a Mark, so the price is cheaper.
Altogether,” he calculated, “it would cost thirty Gold Coins.”
The fractional amount had been rounded off, but thirty Gold Coins for sixteen people was indeed cheap.
“Done, get them for .
As for the Mark, just a small one in the center of the forehead will do.”
Such a large Mark on the face, considering he wasn’t a person with a distorted sense of beauty, always felt very strange.
The old man hurriedly nodded, having sealed another deal, certainly a big client.
It was a pity, why not buy so won too, as those were usually favored by nobles.
If it weren’t for Zhao Guang buying only older folks, he might have thought this buyer had so unique tastes.
Soon, all the people were delivered into Zhao Guang’s hands.
Seeing their old supervisor, these individuals teared up, never expecting their fates to be filled with so many setbacks.
Qiao Miya was continuously consoling these people, while Zhao Guang was studying the Slave Mark on their foreheads.
The thing looked very small, just a speck, almost like an insect.
If it wasn’t stirred by a special Magic Array, it wouldn’t even appear.
But Zhao Guang still felt that it seed to be a kind of Magic Rune.
This type of Magic Rune that could be directly branded onto others greatly interested Zhao Guang.
This was also a field of study; he should really look into it when he found so materials.
A while later, once everyone had been cald down, Qiao Miya finally ca over.
“Good, do you need anything else?” Zhao Guang asked.
Qiao Miya shook his head, “Temporarily, nothing else is needed.” This master seed easy to talk to, and serving under him might be much more comfortable, Qiao Miya thought quietly to himself.
As Qiao Miya’s request was fulfilled, the other two also started thinking.
When it was Coscola’s turn, he said with a lowered head, “I don’t know anything else, just fighting, so I need weapons and armor.” His needs were surprisingly simple.
“Weapons and armor we can discuss later, I have sothing better.
But you need to think about this; you might eventually lead troops alone.
The soldiers of the territory will need your training,” Zhao Guang said.
Suddenly, he added, “Our soldiers are not militia, but a standing army.”
The difference between a standing army and a militia is significant.
A standing army consists of professional soldiers, while a militia is like those who have their own things to do and are brought together to fight when needed; these two are not on the sa level at all.
Hearing Zhao Guang’s need for professional soldiers, Coscola’s expression beca serious.
This was definitely not a trivial matter; it represented military power.
Normally, lords delegated military power to people they could absolutely trust.
Most people even firmly held onto power themselves.
Even though it was just a promise, it still deeply moved Coscola.
“Please rest assured, I will definitely not let you down,” Coscola knelt on one knee, showing his loyalty.
Zhao Guang was satisfied internally; this response had proven that this person wouldn’t likely cause any issues.
“What about you, what do you need?” Zhao Guang turned to Miller.
“If you need to manage business matters, then what I need is so startup capital, as well as information about the territory and its surroundings.”
Zhao Guang nodded, “You will get these later, but I don’t have them now.
Of course, money is not an issue, I am rather wealthy.” Zhao Guang quickly ntioned the content of his transactions.
Listenting, Miller’s eyes lit up, “So these goods are all for you to sell.
That’s great, if you trust , you could let handle these items.
I can definitely earn more than double the inco.”
“Quite confident, aren’t we?
Well then, from now on, I’ll leave it to you,” Zhao Guang said.
“We’ll have more goods in a couple of days, and also about the purchase of five pigs, you will co with then,” Zhao Guang added.
Five pigs?
Miller was sowhat puzzled, but since the master had ntioned it, he would just have to show his prowess.
Displaying his capabilities would ensure a better future under his master.
