Gao Wen sat in the study of the Lord's Mansion and looked at the latest reports from Kant and Leslie's.

Most of the report is about the establishment of trade routes. Padric, whom he values, has shown his value. With the efforts of the "merchant scholar", the southern merchants who had traded with Kant have been connected one after another. In this process, a large number of merchants were taken over by Padric. He did not pay much money for this, but paid the money with spot alchemy potions. In a short period of time, a considerable number of merchants voluntarily became distributors of "Cecil potions" and asked them to take the potions on the way.

Due to the nature of this type of merchants walking between territories, they often deal with low-level mercenaries such as mercenaries. They are happy to accept employment from merchants to help merchants drive away robbers and beasts on the way. In this process, the cheap and effective Cecil healing potion has entered the sight of these mercenaries who are not very well-funded.

No one will be stingy when protecting their lives a bottle of a mixture that can cure diseases and wound infections and a bottle of weak-effect healing potion that can effectively stop bleeding are less than three silver coins, and even the most depressed mercenaries can afford it. Therefore, before those merchants arrived at their destination, the healing potion produced by Cecil began to spread among the mercenaries throughout the southern border.

Mercenaries who often go out and are often injured and need treatment will be the initial and most stable source of consumer therapy for Cecil.

On the other hand, Leslie Leung sent a new order for mining equipment, and a letter hoping that Cecil Leung would send several "magic network technicians" to help them expand Magic Network.

Gowen looked at the handwritten letter from Viscount Andrew Leslie, and his smile slowly appeared on his face.

The first group of technicians sent to Leslie to help the Tanzanite mine lay the basic magic net, allowing the mine to use a powerful magic engine to pull the mine cart and crush the ore. Before the Viscount put the production efficiency of these magic machinery into place, he actually had no need to further expand the magic net. Now he hoped that Gao Wen would send another group of magic net technicians over there, which shows that the Viscount had already tasted great sweetness from the magic net.

What would he do? Maybe he was to lay the magic net into his castle, or to cover the entire mine, and more likely... he wanted to take this opportunity to learn the technology of laying the magic net.

Anyway, no matter what, it is all within Gao Wen's expectations.

He called the technical person in charge of laying the magic net, which was originally a rune craftsman from the royal capital, but now he has become a "naturalized talent" who is determined to stay in this territory and has assigned him the task of leading the team to Tanzan Town. After giving the task, he reminded: "According to my estimate, Viscount Leslie may try to bribe you this time and let you tell him the technical key to laying the magic net..."

The technical director immediately looked serious: "I will never be shaken by money, Lord Lord!"

"No, I ask you to accept the bribe," Gao Wen shook his head, and the words said shocked the technical person in front of him. "Of course, it's a little more tangled and difficult to show."

"Sir...what does this mean?"

"The Magic Net is a very simple thing, and will be learned sooner or later, so I don't mind spreading the Magic Net technology, but I have to charge some tuition," Gao Wen said while writing a reply to Viscount Andrew, "The technology is valuable to increase the price of the purchase a little."

After the technical director left, Gao Wen called Hetty again.

As soon as the latter entered the study, Gao Wen said bluntly: "I informed Tanzan Town of the 'population introduction specialist' that in the next period of time, there will be a large number of cheap mine slave workers and unemployed free miners in Tanzan Town. I will recruit all of these people as much as possible. Our factory is short of people."

Hetty looked confused: "Ah? How do you know, ancestor?"

"Viss Andrew purchased a large amount of mining equipment, and at least two-thirds of the miners were going to be unemployed," Gao Wen said with a smile. "According to the traditional aristocrats' habits, they would not be in vain to raise unused labor, not to mention that there is no extra land around Tanzan town to absorb the population released by the mine."

After Hedy left, Gao Wen finally finished handling the matter at hand. He stretched his waist and prepared to take a little rest.

But at this moment, he suddenly heard a slight clicking sound from the windowsill, followed by a crisp sound of the spring and mechanical structure being released. Gao Wen turned his head and immediately saw a mechanical device on the windowsill bounce high!

The fully automatic anti-amber warning device is working!

Without saying a word, Gao Wen reached out and pressed a half-elf head that was falling from the windowsill in a mess, and his body was separated from the shadow state and showed his true form: "You won't go!"

Amber rushed up, "Are you the one who puts mouse clips on the windowsill like this?!"

Gao Wen pressed the other party's head and easily suppressed the girl's resistance: "What mouse clip? Is that a warning device? Can you get clamped without leaving the window?"

Amber held his neck to maintain his last dignity as a thief: "I wasn't caught! I was just startled!"

I don't know what dignity she has to maintain...

Gao Wen glanced at the shameless half-elves: "How long have you been listening outside the window?"

"Start from the shameless asking the Magic Net technician to extort money for you," Amber opened his mouth and said, while showing an admiration. "Oh, Lao Zongzi, I found that you can do a good job even if you are not a nobleman. Your ability to cheat people... Isn't it okay if I don't say it..."

Gao Wen put away his fist that was about to be knocked down, looked up and down at the girl, and then began to say serious things: "I heard you pulled a large group of people back?"

"A hundred bastards, all of whom I met back then, but that's not all," Amber said with a proud look. "I tell you that there are more people, but they are all distributed in several nearby territories. It's winter now, and the bastards are hiding in the black tavern to rush themselves to death, and they have to be pulled out one by one, but I don't have to go there in person. I've already brought the people I trust the most back then and then let them run to recruit people."

Gao Wen looked at Amber with some surprise: "If you calculate this... were you very powerful back then?"

"In fact, these people cannot be considered 'my power'," Amber knew that Gao Wen was an amateur in this area as soon as he heard it, so he explained with a smile. "This kind of gangster has no stable organization. Everyone makes some money in the streets and alleys, and meets in the gutters, just loosely gather together to keep warm. Because I ran around a lot, I only knew more people. This is a sparse net. All I can help you pull up is a few of them, but as long as these people are willing to work hard, they can help you find more people."

Gao Wen looked suddenly: "Then I understand. Do you need me to do it?"

"Of course," Amber nodded, "I'm going to send someone I trust most to other territories to gather people, but you need to know how troublesome they will be to travel through other territories, and they need documents and guarantors to prove that they were entrusted by Duke Gowan Cecil, which will prevent them and the people they brought to be hung by the local nobles on the way."

In this era, people are tied tightly to the land where they grow up. Every civilian is the private property of the nobles. Ordinary people are almost not allowed to leave or enter any territory at will, otherwise there will be a risk of being hanged. If you want to become a merchant or a mercenary or adventurer, you need to obtain proof documents from the nobles. Even with these proof documents, if the issuer is not strong enough, the person holding the document may still be troubled and extorted by the noble soldiers along the way (in fact, this is almost the main source of income for many noble private soldiers). This is the current situation of this era.

But if they not only have proof documents, but also the issuer of the document is sufficiently important in the entire aristocratic system, then they can be unblocked.

Duke Gowen Cecil is no longer the general guardian of the southern border, but his name is still important in this land. At least without conflicts of interest, the conservative nobles must show enough awe of this name. This awe of superior nobles is also an important part of the nobles maintaining their integrity. Therefore, as long as anyone holds a pass issued by Gowen Cecil, they can be unobstructed in the southern border, and basically don’t have to worry about being made difficult and blackmailed by the nobles along the way. This is also an important guarantee for the smooth development of Gao Wen’s business path.

Gao Wen agreed to Amber's request without much hesitation: "No problem. But you have to ensure that those who get the pass are reliable, and before they set off, they must understand their mission and the importance of low-key behavior. I don't want those people to show off with my pass and make this happen all over the world."

Amber smiled: "Don't worry, all I brought out are old people. They don't know anything else. They are low-key and admit defeat to pretend to be better than anyone else. They can walk with the Duke's pass like a fugitive. It's better to let them die than to let them pass the market."

Gao Wen: "…"

I always feel that there is nothing to be proud of. Why does Amber's expression like she saved the world...

At this time, Amber began to sigh again: "The pass issued by the duke... If it were such an unconditional pass, God would know how much it would cost on the black market. You are probably the first nobleman in history to issue such documents to gangsters and rogues."

"I'm not the first one," Gao Wen waved his hand as soon as he heard it. "When we just captured the northern region, Charlie alone signed more than 100 certificates and permit documents for the local mountaineering people. From the current perspective, all the northern mountaineering people were uncivilized barbarians, and even gangsters could not be considered. But they were the ancestors of the northern mountain legion now."

"Wow, what do you mean is to let me lead a group in the future?!"

Gao Wen glanced at the half-elf who was climbing along the pole and raised his hand: "Tell me, should I just knock or go through the process?"
Chapter completed!
