Our family is in decline

In this case, the Musketeers, whose training requirements are not so high, can be quickly formed and have good combat effectiveness, is his best and only choice.

Take the musketeers as the main body, and then draw out talented soldiers from them to train cavalry and heavy swordsmen to deal with special situations.

If the money is not used to enrich oneself now, will it eventually be used to pay compensation?

Lance doesn’t want to suffer this kind of loss~

When he entered other stores before, a clerk would come over to introduce sales, but here he didn't even respond after being in for so long.

"Come and introduce these guns to me."

"Isn't there a price marked on it? You can't understand this, right?" The clerk looked up lazily and saw Lance standing on the cheapest shelf with a somewhat disdainful expression.

Lance's expression turned gloomy when he saw this. Even in this era, firearms have different models, and different models vary greatly.

Weight, range, standard charge and projectile size, and destructive power at different distances, even down to the gun's design philosophy.

He needs more detailed details about the firearm. Can you tell this by showing the price tag?

It doesn't matter if you just say you don't understand him, but the looks in these guys' eyes gave him an inexplicable arrogance, as if they looked down on him.

Putting aside his identity, even if he is an ordinary person, why should he, a clerk, look down on his customers?

Lance was not a good-tempered person, so he immediately spoke to the clerk in a more serious tone:

"I asked you to come over and introduce these firearms to me."

The clerk seemed to sense that something was wrong, but he didn't take him seriously at all. Instead, he said something sarcastic.

"Look where can you find a better gun than here after leaving this door? If you don't have money, you have to be picky. Do you want it or not?"

Lance didn't expect that he would dare to say this, and he couldn't figure out where such a clerk could have the confidence?

If it were his territory, this guy would already have experience points by now.

"Who gave you the courage to talk to me like this? Let your store manager come out immediately!"

Lance's loud shout startled the clerk, and also alerted the people behind him. Soon a shrewd-looking middle-aged man with a mustache came out.

With just one glance, he could sense that the person coming was extraordinary, so he quickly walked over.

"Hello guest, I am the person in charge here, what can I do?"

"This guy is causing trouble and doesn't even look at where this place is?" Before Lance could say anything, the clerk spoke first and put the blame on Lance.

"I want a batch of goods, but this clerk of yours seems unhappy with my arrival."

Lance looked at him and told what happened in a leisurely manner, not forgetting to tease him at the end.

"Every workshop on this street has many customers, but you are the only one here. Before I came in, I was a little curious whether the quality of the goods was too poor. Now I understand that there is a dog tied at the door. Who is it? Dare to get close~"

"What do you mean! Who are you calling a dog?" The clerk also had a bad temper. He burst into flames when he heard the provocative words. If he hadn't been across the counter, he might have already taken action.

"You know you're a bitch~" A faint smile appeared on Lance's face, and he didn't care about his threats at all. On the contrary, the strange anger on his lips did not stop at all.

The store manager also roughly understood what was going on and could tell whose problem it was at a glance, but he couldn't directly scold the clerk. He could only quickly persuade the clerk to leave, then drive the clerk inside, and then apologize to Lance.

"I'm really sorry. He is new here and doesn't understand this."

"I don't care. Anyway, if you don't cause trouble for him today, then I will cause trouble for you."

Lance's arrogant and wanton words immediately stunned the store manager.

The store manager didn't understand why the man in front of him dared to speak like this, but he still gave him a warning due to his identity.

"He's a student at the Gunnery Academy."

The meaning of this statement does not lie in the identity of the students, but in the background of the college.

Why does the store clerk pretend to be fine?

It is because this is the property of the college, and the college is the official property of Totnes. People who seek to make a living here cannot offend the official for such a trivial matter.

People with a similar background and a big business don't care about the turnover at all, and there is no pressure on the clerk. On the contrary, there is no one and he has less work to do.

The superposition of multiple factors made him arrogant here.

It's just that he may have bullied others for too long, forgetting that what others fear is the official behind him, not himself.

This time when he met a fearless person like Lance, he was immediately crushed to pieces.

"What's wrong with the student? Does the student have a bright face?" A sarcastic look appeared on Lance's face. He didn't have a good background to work here.

As he spoke, he raised his hand and tapped the table, stared at the store manager and reminded: "I was introduced by an acquaintance. He told me that you have good things. You should know what I am talking about, but if you don't fire him today, I’ll go to the academy to find an explanation.”

"Haha, customers are really good at joking." The store manager looked embarrassed, as if he really didn't know anything about it.

"Okay, don't pretend." Lance pursed his lips speechlessly, took out a bag and put it on the counter. The crisp metal collision sound immediately caught the store manager's heart.

Lance went straight to the point and stated his needs directly.

Two hundred short barrels, five hundred long barrel finished muskets, five hundred sets of supporting parts for repair, kilograms of gunpowder and projectiles.

"I wonder what you do, guest?" The person in charge was also a little curious about Lance's identity.

Although the shops here are directly affiliated with factories, they mainly deal with retail investors on this street, which means only one or two. Even a mercenary group only has a dozen or twenty.

Because really big customers will not go through this channel, they will directly contact factories or colleges.

And this young man only spoke so many words, enough to form a musketeer team of 500 people, which was only a city defense force.

"Don't you understand the rules of this business? You can rest assured that they are not used here anyway." Lance didn't have much expression on his face, and the look in his eyes showed an inexplicable arrogance.

But middle-aged people are very fond of this.

With this kind of gesture and funds, they must be nobles. The concept of class is deeply rooted in their minds. Thinking of the attitude of the person in charge here, they immediately became a little more respectful.

"of course not."

The person in charge became enthusiastic and renegotiated the price.

However, they only had a hundred long-barreled muskets and some gunpowder through formal channels.

As for the rest, it goes through another channel.

What happened with the Walter Business Group illustrates the problem. No one is not greedy. It's just a matter of how much.

It is obvious that this store manager is also this kind of person. He uses his status to produce some good things. After all, it is normal to break down. It may be scrapped if it is not stored properly, or the gunpowder may get damp. Not to mention it is lost as soon as it is taken out of the factory. Anyway, There are ways.

These things do not require any capital, and you can earn as much as you sell, so the price can be half of the original version.

But the first time he did this business, he only got 70% of the price, but he also directly saved hundreds of gold coins.

And after opening up this channel, the subsequent prices can be reduced as long as the sales continue. Of course, the premise is that the store manager is not arrested.
