The Wizard’s Fairy Tale

Chapter 570 Caravans and ranks, military training

"Clang clang clang..."

Accompanied by the sound of wind chimes, the caravan from afar stopped at the village of Xin Nisai.

The Maizhiji Chamber of Commerce to which the caravan belongs is not the most powerful chamber of commerce in the Svak Kingdom, but it is the fastest-growing chamber of commerce in the past six months, because behind them stands the largest landlord in the Svak Kingdom—the new king Lister.

William just heard about some measures implemented by the new King Liszt in the capital, and he knew that he had grown a lot.

Growth is not how much knowledge a person has learned, but that while he has learned to compromise with society, he is still sticking to his original beliefs.

It seems that the feathers of the Sphinx really helped Liszt a lot.

I heard that now in the royal capital, those nobles no longer dare to oppress the common people so recklessly.

Although exploitation is still inevitable, at least it has been restrained.

The nobles were a little bit resentful about the new king's back, but there was nothing they could do.

Behind these situations, extremely high political skill is required.

For this outstanding political ability, William believes that the efficacy of the feathers of the Sphinx must be indispensable.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ...

Mai Enze, a young and feminine man with silver-white curly hair, is the son of the chairman of the Maizhiji Chamber of Commerce. He is a caravan leader and a tester, and he leads the caravan to trade with William.

There are political and economic reasons for this.

The new king Liszt, who was enlightened by political factors, found that the location of the territory chosen by William was really clever, which effectively prevented the two brothers who were hostile to him from colluding.

As long as William is firmly rooted here like a nail, then Liszt's throne will be very stable.

Therefore, the new king decided to do his best to protect the existence and development of William's territory, at least not under the slightest pressure from his brother, and collapsed.

As soon as he heard that William's territory needed trade, he immediately sent his "white gloves" to bring various goods.

Of course, because of the distance, they were not the first caravan to make a deal with William.

Food is a hard currency in this world, and you can always find a buyer

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Although Mai Enze is young, he has a city in his chest.

He looked at the village of Xin Nisai calmly.

I heard that due to unknown reasons, this place was just a ruin, but in less than half a year, under the management of this lord, it has become so prosperous.

This lord is really good at it! Mainz sighed inwardly.

Most of the aristocratic circles in the capital believed that this lowly-born lord was lucky enough to get the title of lord only by flattering the new king and a bit of good luck. No.

But seeing that William managed such a good situation in less than half a year, Mai Enze felt that William was not easy.

You know, William took root here alone, and was rejected by the king's two elder brothers.

They, who were enshrined as great nobles, had already communicated with other nobles in order to exclude William from the circle of nobles.

A nobleman who is not recognized by other nobles, even if he has a title, will not be looked down upon by other nobles.

But what I didn't expect was that William had been here for such a long time, but he didn't deal with the local nobles at all, and only did his own thing, making Duke Charles and Earl Ferrett feel like they had punched cotton. Feeling powerless, feeling aggrieved and uncomfortable.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ...

The river meanders, and there are dozens of women washing clothes by the river,

A middle-aged old man with dark skin is fishing with a net.

Next to it are square fields that have been leveled. At a glance, it seems that there is no end in sight.

And not far from the fields, the boxy village of New Nisai stands there!

It is said to be a village, but its area is actually more than double the size of an ordinary town.

Towns and castles are standard for a baron.

On the thick city wall, which seemed to have an astonishing defensive power, soldiers in high spirits were watching the wind on the sentry post.

Four main streets formed by unified wooden houses divide the whole town into nine areas.

What surprised Mai Enze the most was that these uniform wooden houses, which seemed to have no difference, all had a wooden sign on the door.

Mainz looked at a certain wooden sign.

On the wooden sign are the local characters of the Swak Kingdom, as well as the characters that are common in the mainland.

And for a businessman who has an idea of ​​his father's position, both of these characters must be learned.

He could read both languages.

No matter what the words are, the wooden sign expresses the same meaning——East First Street, No. 132.

East First Street? Does that mean there is West First Street? Mai Enze quickly made inferences in his mind, he jumped to other streets to look, and the wooden sign really said "West 1st Street" and "East 2nd Street"!

It's just that the numbers don't match.

I see! Mai Enze suddenly realized, and suddenly understood the function of these wooden signs, and his eyes showed surprise.

The caravan has its own dedicated staff to follow up. Mainenze doesn’t have to do everything himself, and the scenery in the village of Xinnisai is too attractive to him. His heart is like a cat tickling, and he is more urgent. He really wanted to know more about the village, so he pondered for a while, and wandered along the main street in the village of New Nisai.

The slaves who came and went to work never stopped. They wore old but relatively clean clothes, their complexions were rosy, and their eyes were full of vitality. After looking at Mai Enze curiously, they were busy with their own affairs.

This is a situation that Mai Enze cannot see under the hands of other slave owners.

The eyes of the slaves under the hands of other slave owners are full of numbness, and they will not be so active in doing things.

What kind of magical magic did this Master Hansel cast on his slave? Mai Enze's curiosity about William has risen to a new level.

Unknowingly, Mai Enze came to a certain area following the flow of people with the most slaves.

There are many new shops here, including carpentry houses, tailor shops, bakeries, grocery stores, and blacksmith shops.

Of course, there is not much iron in the blacksmith shop, and there are no weapons. Two blacksmith apprentices and several children are doing nothing in the blacksmith shop.

Seeing this scene, Mai Enze smiled knowingly, and soon they will not be so idle, because a large part of this transaction is iron, weapons, and red stones that can be used as fuel.

Halfway through, Mai Enze found that the pattern of this area was very similar to the pattern of the entire Xin Nisai village.

Four sub-level streets composed of various shops divide this area into nine smaller parts.

The core part is a very spacious store.

The name of the store is very strange, it is called "Youjian Supermarket"!

What is a supermarket? Mainz was puzzled.

However, he knew that this was a shop opened in the name of the lord Hansel, but the supplies inside were scarce now, except for food, there was basically nothing else.

It seems that this is an area with commerce as its main function! After wandering around for a while, Mai Enze suddenly realized something.

Let's put it this way... other areas must have their own functional positioning! Mainz guessed in his heart.

This Lord Hansel is really interesting.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …

"Mr. Louis, it's a pleasure to cooperate with you and the leader of Hanlai. We will come again next year." Mai Enze looked at the packed wagons with an amiable smile on his face. Said the calm Louis.

"My host, Mr. Hansel, is also satisfied with the service you provided. In addition, if possible, after returning home, at some appropriate time, express my host's sincere gratitude to him!" Lewis scholar, representing William, told Mai Enze communicated.

"I will, Mr. Louis. I have to say that Master Hansel's ability is more outstanding than many people imagined. If you ignore it, they will pay the price one day." Mai Enze said pointedly.

"We hope that day will not come." Louis said after a moment of silence.

Mai Enze smiled and said nothing more. After counting the supplies, he left with a mighty team.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ...

The benefits of trading are obvious.

After many transactions, William's stock of winter grains and wheat dropped by two-thirds, but Hanlai had an extra thousand slaves, and the population suddenly swelled to more than 1,700.

Three hundred and fifty iron spear heads, eighty crossed swords, fifty hunting bows, some iron, some salt, some linen, and other things.

For William, the most important thing is the weapon.

Although he has a way to "create something out of nothing", he can't explain the source.

It will be very troublesome if the Bishop of the Holy Light investigates it in the later period.

William didn't want to discard the vest until he had achieved his goal.

Fortunately, Liszt is indeed a good king, and when he needed weapons most, he enthusiastically sent them over.

Arms in hand, William set about building an army.

No matter in which era, violent institutions will always be the biggest reliance of the ruling class.

Whether it is defending the country or expanding the territory, the army is inseparable.

The personal guards transformed from more than fifty mercenaries were just a stopgap measure, and their discipline and combat effectiveness had not been high, so William just used them as they pleased.

Now that everything is ready, there is no shortage of food, weapons, and venues, William is about to train!

Train your own soldiers!

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………

The first thing William did was not to select soldiers, but to classify the slaves into three levels.

The new arrivals of more than a thousand slaves are all third-class slaves.

The first batch of slaves who followed William were promoted to second-class slaves.

Among them, those who performed well were promoted to first-class slaves.

The rank of slaves is related to the treatment, food and accommodation conditions of slaves, so slaves value this very much.

After the first level of slavery, if you perform well or make contributions, you will be free and no longer a slave.

Just like the scholar Louis, because he has always performed well, after the harvest, William tore up his slave contract with a wave of his hand and made him a freeman.

At that time, Louis was so moved that he cried, knelt down to William, and swore allegiance to William and his family for generations.

William wanted to laugh when he heard that, it was a promise from the mortal world.

He just confirmed Louis' identity, gave him a job as a Consular Officer of Hanlai, and got paid.

William also told him that when he earns enough money, he can buy a house to live in by himself.

Louis nodded desperately after hearing this, and devoted himself to work in a more fanatical state.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ...

After the harvest, the second order issued by William was that all those who entered the army would be treated one level higher, and those who were originally first-level slaves would be directly granted the status of freedmen. However, the army is allowed to enter but not to leave. If you can't bear it halfway and want to push it out, there is no way to do it unless you lie down and go out.

In the 21st century of William's previous life, this order was very domineering, the kind that even the Labor Arbitration Bureau dared not deal with.

But here, everyone, including the mercenaries, took this order for granted and looked forward to being selected by William.

Of course, William did not choose all slaves.

Like those guys who have a skill, they have a more important battlefield than here.

William chose those guys who were obedient and hardworking.

One hundred and sixty were selected from the old slave group, and three hundred and ten were selected from the new slave group. In addition, thirty relatively experienced guys from the personal guard were drawn into the selected soldier group. as an aid.

All together, there are five hundred people, and it looks really impressive.

This is because it is winter now, so so many soldiers can be selected. In normal seasons, it will not work.

After all, the proportion of soldiers and civilians close to one-third is too scary, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are militaristic.

But how could William care about this!

He doesn't care even if his village of New Nisai turns into Sparta in another world in the future.

The barracks had been built, and 500 recruits entered the barracks area under William's order, and began their difficult "military training".
