Lord of the North

"Your Highness, let's get out of here quickly." After Jason left, Proma immediately said to Jerome anxiously: "This place is no longer safe, if he arrests us to please that traitor Ludian, we There is no way out."

If he could get Ludian's help, Jason would indeed be able to regain the kingdom quickly, and even counterattack the Lion Kingdom, but Ludian was an ambitious man, and Jason didn't trust him very much.

"Uncle Puluo, did we really do something wrong?"

Jerome stared at the ground calmly, and took the Eye of the Sky in his hand, which was a token of the royal family of Guller.

"Your Highness..."

Pro was a little silent when he heard the words, opened his mouth and finally said nothing, but looked at Jerome with heartbroken eyes.

"The blood of Gulaier flows in my body, and those three thousand warriors did die for me."

Jerome raised his head, calmly looking at Pu Luo's aging face, this man was so young once.

"Your Highness, we cannot win."

After being silent for a while, Pu Luo said awkwardly, how could he not want to go back for revenge?

Everyone in the Pro family except him died in that rebellion, but it was impossible for the two of them to bring down Lu Dian.

And the former loyalists of the Gulaier royal family don't know how many are left, presumably their life is not very good, Lu Dian will not foolishly raise a group of people who are hostile to him.

He also has no confidence to guarantee that those people will give up their current lives for a surname, and then involve themselves in the endless flames of war.

"I'll think about it again..."

Jerome also sighed when he heard the words. He has no nostalgia for the land where he was born, but only curiosity and sadness.

Although he really wanted to shoulder his own responsibilities, the boy's heart still made him a little hesitant.

"My lord, do you mean to promote the model of the mercenary hall in Erbia Town within our sphere of influence?"

in the barracks,

Gareth looked at Jason in astonishment. Is this mercenary hall worthy of their attention?

"That's right, it was officially established by our Iron Fang Ling, and an independent department was established to take charge of the mercenary group and manage it through an intermediary model."

Jason plans for the government to act as a leader to promote the mercenary model, and first establish branches in the territories of Viscount Lyon and Viscount Zac.

Afterwards, a branch can be established in Lucca City, and then promoted with the help of the influence of the Kyle family in the business alliance, but part of the benefits need to be divided to the Kyle family as a reward.

Although she would not refuse this request based on her relationship with Willett, the Kyle Family Chamber of Commerce is not her own.

From then on, the name of the Mercenary Hall can also be changed to the Mercenary Guild.

And if nothing else happens, the head of the Kyle family will bring most of the family's resources to the north of Lopez next summer.

"We must take this institution seriously, and send soldiers and experts to guard it to prevent people from making trouble there."

Jason thought for a while and said again, the environment in the hall today is really unacceptable.

"Moreover, the reputation rating system at the front desk needs to be continuously improved. Specialists will be assigned to take charge of this area. At the end of each year, the intelligence data of all branches will be summarized and evaluated uniformly by Tie Ya Ling."

"And we need to draw 5% of the benefits for each employment task accepted by the mercenary union."

After Jason said all this in one breath, he rested his forehead and thought about it for a while, feeling that he could only think of so much for the time being.

"The details will be left to you to perfect. In short, one thing that must be insisted on is that the credit rating must be done fairly. I don't want to hear the scandal of someone accepting bribes to modify the rating without authorization, and our initial establishment Reputation is the most important thing."

"Yes, my lord." With a pen and paper in his hand, Gareth wrote down the few words Jason said.

"By the way, we can also build a tavern next to the guild." Jason's eyes suddenly lit up. Although the income may not bring much help to the territory, it is still a considerable amount of income.

"There are already two taverns in the entertainment area." Gareth reminded.

"It's different from that kind of high-end tavern. The one here can be specially built for this group of mercenaries, and the drinks can be relatively cheap."

Jason reminded him that this group of mercenaries was doomed not to leave much income after traveling all over the world, and cheap and strong alcohol was what they were after.

"By the way, how is the progress of the paper workshop?"

After Jason saw the paper Gareth took out, he suddenly remembered that he had left a papermaking workshop here before going to Lucca City to improve the papermaking technique he left behind.

"It has achieved initial results, and we can put it into use immediately with your order."

Gareth immediately handed the yellow paper in front of Jason and said respectfully.

"There is no rush for this. We can continue to improve and make it better. At that time, we will divide them into three grades, upper, middle and lower, and promote this new paper through our chamber of commerce."

Jason picked up the slightly withered and rough paper, and said with satisfaction that this kind of material that is more suitable for writing and carrying than parchment will definitely be sought after.

What's more, the cost of this kind of paper is low and the profit margin is huge.

In fact, he also plans to find someone to bring out the technology of movable type printing, so that although the monopoly of knowledge by the aristocracy cannot be broken, the common people will also have the opportunity to learn.

Moreover, the price of books in this world is simply ridiculously expensive.

A hardcover book can be sold at a sky-high price of dozens of gold coins. After Jason prints movable type, the price of the book will definitely drop a lot, but it won't be too cheap, so there will be more gold coins in the territory. A profiteering project.

"Yes, my lord, I will give orders." Gareth nodded, and he very much agreed with Jason's idea.

"Give me a record of the improved papermaking process when we leave tomorrow." Jason plans to set up a workshop in Iron Tooth Town.

"My lord, someone wants to see you." At this moment, the soldier outside the door knocked on the door and said softly.

"Let him in." Gareth frowned. When he was discussing things with Jason, he wouldn't bother them if there was nothing important.

After a while, a panting soldier walked in from the door, and knelt down in front of the two of them: "My lord, Di Ai has an urgent report."
