Chapter 231： Another talent

Gao Wen was quite satisfied with the development of the territory after the winter.

All the construction projects are going smoothly, even faster than expected. The craftsmen took the initiative to use the magic net and the basic runes as an auxiliary force and applied them in daily work, which directly promoted most of the territory. The progress of the project, and what makes Gao Wen happy is the ideological change reflected in this process: ordinary people are beginning to realize the influence of the new "magic facilities" on the territory on their production and life, and will This is to adapt, this is exactly what he wants to see on the territory.

Of course, this kind of change is not yet popular. People who can realize the convenience of magic and apply it to production and life are basically all kinds of craftsmen. These people were originally in a civilian society. The wealthy class, they have more insights, and also have experience with the nobility, and some even know how to read the numbers, naturally superior to ordinary people in terms of ideological flexibility, and most civilians except them... If you want to change your mind and integrate magic into your life, it will take some days.

In addition to the construction work, another thing that satisfied Gao Wen was the smooth start of business.

Driven by the interests, the Kant collar in the north and the Leslie collar in the northwest have completed the commercial docking with Cecil, and the mass production of alchemy through the northern wasteland and the Baishui River. Potion and basic mining machines are constantly being delivered to customers, and they are back with plenty of money and more valuable trade and intelligence than money.

For amber, it seems that money is more precious...

In the study of the Lord's House, Gao Wen reluctantly turned his head and glanced at the half-elf lady who was slamming his head into the money box and sighed. "It is just the first payment of mining equipment. Are you so?" The big boxes in the treasure house in the mountains are not enough for you to suck?"

"This is not the same!" Amber "啵儿" suddenly pulled his head out of the pile of money and looked at Gao Wen with his arms crossed. "This is a return! This is earned back! It is back!" The money that is destined to be spent is different!"

"I can't understand your world view, but money is used for flowers. Only the flowing gold coins are gold coins, and the only ones in the treasure house are metals." Gao Wen shook his head. "And to be honest, The direct trading of precious metals is still too cumbersome. After the influence of the Cecil Chamber of Commerce is large enough, it is necessary to consider the credit currency system..."

When Amber listened to Gao Wen, suddenly his ears swelled and suddenly stood up: "Is that what you said last time is to use paper as money? Is there a process of buying things with tickets? I don't want it!"

As I said, this half-elf looks like a yearning forty-five degrees. "The biggest dream of my life is to be able to sleep on the heap of gold coins. You change them all into paper, then my What do you dream about..."

"...how can you change the gold coin directly into paper, and you are a dragon? It’s not too horrible to sleep on the gold coins." Gao Wen reluctantly whitened the guy, then looked down at the hand. A report, "Well... that Paderick is indeed a personal talent. He has already drawn up the list of the first distributors and the initial market development plan, and based on the map I gave him, I drew a simple The radiation pattern comes out...not simple, not simple."

Amber’s high-profile looks like he’s not going to continue to mention the topic of “changing gold coins into paper.” Then he slid to Dada’s desk and looked at the report in Gao Wen’s hand. The good eyebrows rose slightly: “Don’t be busy. Quaring, you first think about how you can get together, but I remember what you said, to use this commercial network as a skeleton, to build a synchronous intelligence network, the problem of the businessman that Padrik can give You solve it, but if you say it again, you have to set up a group of people who will specifically send information. Do you want to smack the clerk who has made it hard to get together, and spread it to the whole south to be a spy?"

As she said she was still shaking her head: "I told you, you really want to do this, Heti will find you desperately, she managed to train those apprentices, and gave them enough assistants. Who is now with? She wants her to pick up her staff and it’s a set of pen rests..."

Looking at the appearance of this half-elf word, Gao Wen was sure that the two days before the goods were absolutely knocked by the rest of the pen.

He shook his head: "In the grass-roots period, this intelligence network does not need such high-end staffing. It is not easy to train a group of clerk who can read and write the brains. Not to mention Herti, I am not willing to They sent it out."

"Ah? Then how are you going to organize intelligence personnel? Are you going to make those businessmen who rely on Padrek to flicker? Or do you want to rely on the big men trained by Byron and Philip? I told you that the soldiers are fighting, but Not doing this..."

Gao Wen waited for the amber to finish, and she smiled and interrupted her: "I have inquired with Pittman."

"Scared!" Amber screamed at once. "What do you ask about the old man..."

"You should know a lot of friends and hobby friends?" Gao Wen looked at the amber with a smile, then took out a piece of paper from his pocket and began to read it one by one. "Southland Pirates, Queen of Taverns, Bars and Tables The ruler, the common leader of the field bragging, the reaper of the wallet and the pocket, the copper plate, the silver coin, the gold coin, the self-proclaimed dark night, the three barrels of ale, the abalone, in short, the super-powerful... ”

When Gao Wen was half-finished, Miss Half Elf had already picked it up, and the latter half of the title was completely in the desperate robbing of this half-elf thief. The apparently amber one-six-meter tall in Gaowen is more than two meters strong. Han was not worth mentioning before, even if her shadow talent was superb, when she jumped up and down, she couldn’t wait to use the shadow step. In the end, she still couldn’t grab the note from Pitman...

"Whoever gave you the title above..." After reading it, Gao Wen handed down the amber's head and looked at the half-elf with a helpless look. "Fuck friends, or yourself." ?"

"There are people who have started, and I have been drinking myself." Amber’s eyes couldn’t resist, and he could only smack Gao Wen’s eyes, then he would not look away with a slight sigh. “But can you see the night before the darkness? Don't add 'self-proclaimed', I am really embarrassed..."

"Well, you are the **** of choice, you are the **** of choice," Gao Wen sat down with his hand on the amber head and returned to the back of the desk. "In fact, I was curious from the beginning, with your shadow talent. The ability to steal, steal the chicken and touch the dog... Although some of these skills are not good on the table, it is undeniable that they are the way to survive in the 'gutter', and you may not know some of them in this respect. Why are you not talking about friends in the shadows?"

"You didn't ask at the beginning," Amber grinned. "And as you said, there are some friends and friends. Not many of them have a countertop. When I went to Nanbei in the early years, I also organized a group with them. But then settled down in the old Cecil, with a relatively stable lifestyle, naturally it is not how to deal with them..."

“Do you mean a more stable lifestyle that means changing from a rogue crime to a fixed location?”

"exactly"

Gao Wen: "..."

After a while, he coughed and pulled the subject back: "All in all, I need you to go out and help me to recruit a group of talents in this area. I don't care about their origins and past. I only ask these people to be flexible and understand, and With minimum loyalty and obedience in the case of enough money, I want you to get these people on the ground and then train them shortly."

"In the case of enough money..." Amber couldn't help but scream at the words of Gao Wen. "You are really straightforward."

"No way, I have no choice," Gao Wen sighed. "You don't know that Cecil's foundation is more than 800 primitive people, nearly 10,000 exiles and slaves. This is the main structure of the territorial population. In addition, the talents we hire and extradition in various ways are simply in short supply. I can't pull up an intelligence team from such a territory. The people you know may have problems with their character. The past may not be clean, but since they can survive, they prove that they have the flexibility and self-protection ability, and they must be savvy in their own environment. In this era, those with these abilities can It can't be cultivated casually."

Starting from the "gutter mouse" at the bottom of the local society, the establishment of the most primitive intelligence network is a thought that Gao Wen had ejected long ago. He knows that those "gutter mice" are despised by nobles and even citizens. But he knows better that people who can survive in that social environment are the best spies: they are alert but calm, cautious but daring, savvy, observant, and basically have their own information channels. Information channels are even one of their ways of survival: mercenary adventurers who walk around will be happy to buy intelligence from gully rats everywhere, and the latter is the most reliable source of intelligence as long as the money is in place.

These two groups, located at the edge of society and at the bottom of society, are a natural symbiotic relationship.

Of course, the "gutter mouse" also has a lot of shortcomings: they are weak, but they have little to do with kindness. They can't have any noble sentiments, and there is no concept of loyalty. They can sell the information to you for money, but also You can also sell your secrets to others for money. This is a group of people who have little morality and discipline, because these two things are absolutely not used in their lives.

But Gao Wen doesn't care or say that he is completely acceptable to the value of those people.

The loyalty of these people can be bought with money, which is enough, at least for now.
