The leader of this caravan used to be a businessman who had done business in selling military rations—cooperating with the quartermaster in the army to secretly resell the military rations. After the incident, he was sentenced to hang—thanks to him at that time I still had a little savings, and spent money to redeem myself for two crimes. In the end, the sentence of hanging was changed to whipping. Now this person will dodge in fear when he sees the whip in the hand of the interrogator.

Since then, the businessman has been down and out, and even went to the city to work as a beggar for a long time.

Half a month ago, this guy who was working as a slaughter worker was invited to a dinner party. At that dinner party, he ate white sweet bread with butter for the first time in his life, and after that party, It was incredible to receive a full two gold coins!Then he was on a quick get-rich-quick road.

At the beginning, he went to his peers to mobilize. The business skills he had developed in his youth and a large amount of copper and silver coins immediately seduced several young butcher apprentices. They rented a bullock cart and went to find that The merchants in charge successfully received the first batch of goods they transported. Of course, the owner of the goods also arranged a bodyguard to escort the goods in their team.

It took them two full days to transport this batch of goods. Along the way, they could see a lot of road signs on the side of the road, directing them to the next direction.

When they finally reached their destination, everyone in the team got four gold coins!

everyone!

Four gold coins!

Four gold coins per person!

It is fully equivalent to their income in the past year!

Everyone is equivalent to the total income of the past year!

And that's only for two days.What's even more astonishing is that, as the "team leader", the businessman earned ten gold coins after taking the commission into account!Each of the other six people contributed a "commission" of one gold coin to the team leader!

On the mountain, each of them ate sweet bread with butter again. On that day, everyone was completely intoxicated by the milk and sugar - touching the gold coins in their hands and eating the bread in their mouths. , Even in the most absurd dreams, they never dared to imagine.

The team leader organized a meeting with all the team members to discuss the timing of their next batch of shipments.But at this time, all the team members resolutely refused to repeat such inefficient work again, two days, four days back and forth to earn four gold coins, too slow, too slow!They have to find more people and get more rewards!

So when he set off for the second time, the team leader found that every team member under him had become the new team leader, and he was also successfully promoted to the team leader. The original small team of seven people has now become a team of more than [-] people. The people's grain transportation team, even the ox carts were replaced by horse carts-it is said that they were rented from the local lords!

After running down the second trip, the team leader, oh, the income of the team leader has already reached more than [-] gold coins!More than twenty gold coins!This is enough for him to buy a war horse!You know, in this era of war, owning a war horse is almost half a knight!

But the captain didn't go to buy a war horse, he keenly felt that he was in an unprecedented huge opportunity.He held another meeting with all the team leaders under him, and determined the strategy to grow stronger. At the meeting, they decided to put all the team members back and let them go back to pull people. The more they pull, the better!

According to the captain's account, their entire team now has more than 230 people. In order to ensure the efficiency and speed of transportation, they were divided into six transportation teams.The team he leads is at the back. If there are laggards in front, he, the captain, can still help a little.

According to them, the sentinel at the front of the team even invited a professional knight who had been on the battlefield as a mercenary to guard against robbers.But they didn't expect that the last "enemy" was not from the front, but the jihadist army from the rear...

"We are willing to donate these truckloads of food to the church to support the holy war." The captain was very sensible. After confirming their identities, he immediately expressed great sincerity. The carriage is also unnecessary.

"Then how will you explain to the cargo owner and the owner of the carriage?" Bishop Bart asked the captain.

"They are all devout believers and will understand the church's approach," the captain emphasized. "All losses will be borne by me personally."

In the face of such a huge opportunity, the loss of four carriages and goods is nothing, given the captain two months, he can earn back an entire jihad army!

There are not many lies in what the captain explained, including what Bart suspected the most, about the sweet bun with butter. This is a bit unbelievable!You know, the price of sugar in this era is almost equal to that of silver!Even if a prince and princess want to eat a spoonful of sugar on the table, they must first carefully look at the faces of the king and queen!

And according to the captain and all the members of the team, it is obvious that these people have eaten this kind of candy, and according to them, the consignor who asked them to transport it has hoarded a huge amount of it in the valley. The whole pack of crystal clear white sugar, everyone will get a spoonful when they eat!If it is not enough, you can add it!

Many people are willing not to take gold coins as rewards, or just use gold coins to buy some of this white sugar back then, and give it to their friends and family members to taste!

Many people in the team still have such small packages of white sugar hidden on their bodies. Each package is wrapped in delicate white paper, and the surroundings seem to be carefully stitched with needles and threads—but the thread itself cannot be seen.

Bishop Bart carefully tore open a corner of the delicate package, and then poured out the contents. First, let these people try to eat a bite, and then let the soldiers eat it. After confirming that it was all right, Bishop Bart cautiously dipped a little bit of it with his index finger. , into the mouth.

oh!God is merciful!

Bart's tongue simply reveled in the pure lusciousness, and he couldn't resist taking a second quickly.

It is indeed white sugar, the most authentic white sugar without any impurities.

If it wasn't for his firm belief, Bishop Bart would almost have thought that this legend was a miracle sent by the Little Sun God to guide the public!

After regaining his senses, Bishop Bart finally realized the seriousness of the problem he was facing at the moment—he thought it was spies walking among the people, absurd legends circulating among the poor, or a Sophisticated scam.

But judging from the confessions of these civilians in front of him, the situation he faced was much more complicated than a scam—only these gold coins, bread and sugar, on the entire continent, Bishop Bart could not imagine any country that would have Money to do this kind of thing!

If it is really owned by a king of the Dayang Sect, why didn't he use these things to recruit knights?Xiaoyang, if there is such a group of knights eating white bread and butter and wearing expensive armor, such a force is enough to make the entire Xiaoyang sect tremble!

Why put it to the rear again, and do these small and careful movements?

It was perhaps the deadliest mistake the other side ever made.

Bishop Bart already had a plan in mind, and he ordered the liaison officer who had just returned to send messengers to find the lords separately, and then summon all the knights—he had to do something.

According to the account of these freedmen, within half a month, tens of thousands of freedmen in one-third of the Xiaoyangjiao dioceses have begun to join this semi-public "great cause", even in Among the rumors, they also believed that this kind of thing was acquiesced by the church.

Thanks to this "great cause", the price of food on the market is now rising three times a day!

It is not difficult to imagine that after a while, the jihad army besieging the entire frontline has eaten up the rations they had hoarded before, and I am afraid they will start to starve.

Because of this news, Bishop Bart did not sleep well all night.He got up in the middle of the night and went to see the members of the transport team who were imprisoned, and found that these people didn't sleep in the middle of the night, but were still together, discussing their food transport business after they went out with great interest!

Not only were they discussing, but even the two guards who were in charge of the detention seemed to be interested in this topic and cautiously joined in.When Bishop Bart appeared behind him, instead of noticing it, the two guards were struggling to calculate with their fingers the exact amount of the commission.

The next morning, the first messenger who replied came back with the knights he brought back. Among them, Bishop Bart, who led the team in front, still knew him. He was the eldest son of the lord, who was also the future lord. The ceremony was presided over by Bart himself.When they met, Bart's godson also officially presented a precious gift to Bishop Bart: a small box of fully transparent crystals, some of which were embellished with colorful patterns.

Bart's mood became better because of the gifts here. He picked up a few of them, felt their smoothness, and at the same time looked at the knights who came here. They all looked rosy and energetic. very nice.Bart noticed that the hilts of many knights were also inlaid with crystal balls that were almost exactly the same as those in his hands, and some even had more than one inlaid, with the most being seven or eight.Under the illumination of the two suns, each of these swords with crystal balls is so dazzling that people dare not look directly at them.

"Did a mine be found in your territory recently?" Pastor Bart asked his godson.

"No," the lord's foolish son didn't see the expression on his godfather's face, and replied bluntly, "We bought it."

"Oh, didn't your territory have a bad harvest this year?" Bart still remembered what his father said in the letter.

"Yes, the grain harvest is very bad." The godson was slightly worried, but this worry was soon replaced by pride, "but we made a lot of money transporting grain."

"Transport food to make money?" Bart had a vague premonition.

"You don't know yet." Speaking of this topic, his godson's face became excited, and his voice became louder, almost as if he was yelling to show off, so that everyone around could hear, "My father Now that I have become the captain, the grain transportation team under him has more than 20 carriages and more than 1000 people, and I can earn hundreds of gold coins for one trip! My father asked me to come here, just to ask, is there any church? For extra horses or carriages, we will lend them money, and we will give [-]% interest at that time!"
