Wandering Knight Start: I have a simple data panel

The two returned to the house again, and there were some things that were not suitable to talk about in public.

"Uncle Croya, my war horse... is not from Beizhen Real Estate.

In addition to this, I also do business in weapons, armor, and population. "

"War horses in the south are more expensive, and the west is too far. Are you from further north?

The price is quite cheap, but if weapons, armor and other embargoed items are sent there, those in the royal capital will know about it and they will skin you.

The monastery will definitely be anxious, and I'm afraid it will be very difficult. "

Croya touched his chin and began to think. Hatred is hatred, and business is done.

There are many people doing business with barbarians in the North. If you have the ability to get war horses back, many people will welcome you.

However, it is a bit taboo to transport weapons and armor in reverse. Without a big man to carry it, it may be a bit dangerous.

Derek interrupted him at the right time: "I also sell weapons and armor. I only want people, food, and ores. This shouldn't be difficult."

"I can understand the origin of the war horses, but where did your weapons and armor come from?"

"South, something unexpected happened. Our trade routes intersect, so..."

Derek was vague, but Croya wouldn't go into details.

In this kind of business, secrecy is normal.

"Then there's no problem. There are already a lot of people coming to the North to do weapons business, and you are not a big deal.

From now on, all the weapons I have here will be purchased from you, as long as the price is no higher than the market price. "

Croya was very happy. He could buy it from anywhere, and he could even open some markets for Derek through his connections.

The flag captain of Count Perez Knights, his status is not low.

Derek thanked him again. With Croya's promise, many things can be done step by step.

The two had a meal and drink at Chloe's manor that night, during which Chloe revealed a lot of news.

After all, he was one of the few great nobles in the North. Count Perez not only had a title, he was also one of the kingdom's senior officials in the North.

You can get a lot of news here. For example, some big nobles have begun to hoard war supplies, and even Count Perez is expanding the number of knights.

Of course, the speed is not fast, indicating that there may not be that urgency in the short term.

This information is very useful to Derek.

The next day, he left a contact point and then left.

Went to Watch City again and ordered iron ore and pig iron from several trading houses.

The blacksmith shop in the city has been completely reduced to a stronghold, with very little real business.

Responsible for forging ore, transporting some resources, leaving a team of soldiers, and taking on some small employment businesses.

Expand your network and build your reputation.

Derek came over often, sometimes leaving Simon here, sometimes sitting in person to deal with less urgent issues.

After Adrian's inspiration, he acted boldly.

He even visited the Goat Trading Company and made an appointment to purchase a batch of goods on his behalf.

It's a pity that Manager Vincent is not here, otherwise we could have taken the opportunity to discuss more business.

After going around in a circle for ten days, Derek returned to the mountain base again.

Finding that there were a few more unfamiliar slaves, he immediately asked the little True who was left behind: "Has Lloyd been here?"

Little True was manipulated by Derek, and now he is following him wholeheartedly.

Not only helps train new people, but also does some simple management tasks.

"Yes, I heard that I met a group of fat sheep. They didn't obey the rules and tried to pass by secretly. They happened to be caught by him. These slaves are the goods."

"how many people?"

Derek saw that there were also a group of unfamiliar faces here in the blacksmith shop, so he asked.

"There were 22 people. I heard some of them ran away, otherwise there would have been at least fifty slaves."

"Is it the slave transport team? It would be a shame to run away."

Derek guessed the identity of the other party, but these slave traders were relatively few in the North and more in the South.

Little Tru took the opportunity to speak: "Lloyd's people said that each slave this time will cost five gold coins. These are tamed mature slaves, not raw slaves.

It is said that the price in the south is more than ten gold coins each. "

Derek didn't care about five gold coins. It would take six or seven gold coins to buy a strong adult slave in the Northland market.

However, Lloyd had no way to take action. The prisoners he had robbed before, that is, the slaves, were all worth gold coins one by one.

Derek must consider whether there is another reason for the sudden price increase.

"Three gold coins each. Tell Lloyd's people that if they don't agree, they will all be taken away.

In addition, if he agrees, give him some compensation, lower the price of the weapons slightly, or give some as gifts, it's up to you. "

He must dispel any other thoughts that Lloyd may have and tell him that he can only set the price by himself. This is the rule.

However, it should not be disheartening. Partial compensation from other places is definitely not as good as the loss, but it also shows the attitude.

Opening the panel, Derek began to select the newly appeared avatars.

They are all slaves, especially the new slaves, most of whom have already appeared on it.

This shows that they have good obedience and have established a certain degree of loyalty.

After all, Derek's industry is very profitable, so he certainly won't deprive his subordinates.

Even if you are a slave, you can only work if you have enough food and drink, right?

This is all your own property.

Of course, whips and sharp blades are also indispensable, and the best way is to use both kindness and power.

He quickly passed over the new slaves. These people still needed time to prove their loyalty.

He focused on selecting the former slaves, that is, the caravan captives, the mountain captives, and the unlucky ones who fell into Lloyd's hands for some reason.

Of the thirty or so slaves, five or six have already appeared on the panel for a long time.

Obviously, they have accepted their fate and established basic loyalty.

Derek took his servants and walked around the camp, occasionally pointing out a slave and asking one by one.

"Take up arms and fight for me, and gain military merit to grant you freedom, or work here until you die?"

Obviously, compared to being a slave for life, everyone chose to take a gamble.

Derek will not let these slaves take on other affairs for the time being.

All of them are brought around, trained, fought, and smoothed out their rebellious temperaments, and then loyalty is established through long-term habits before other duties can be assigned.

And they can be monitored at any time, and if anyone suddenly disappears from the panel, they can also be dealt with immediately.

Including considering the thoughts of others, after all, a slave can be given a chance, but it is impossible to treat him the same as other free people all at once.

Otherwise, people's hearts will be scattered.

A slave who has escaped from the sea of ​​suffering at least has hope, and can even become a member of the overseer immediately.

This has a huge role model effect on the remaining slaves.

Several avatars suddenly appeared on the panel, and gradually became clearer.

"Everyone, look, work hard, and remain loyal, and I will give you the opportunity to be free, and even the opportunity to succeed and make a fortune. Otherwise... just die here."

Derrick took the opportunity to promote and boost morale.
