Have You Considered Xinyue to Be a Military Division?

"Ah, I heard that Governor Paulinus personally issued an order to prohibit all businessmen in the province from trading with us." The leader smiled wryly.

"Well, a big misunderstanding."

Neos shrugged: "But don't worry, I'm going to talk to Paulinus this time."

"But with all due respect, how do you change..."

The leader hesitated for a moment, wanting to express resentment but not to offend, so he said, "...to change their view of you?"

Neos glanced at him lightly.

In fact, what you want to say is to change the fact that we are invaders.

"Don't ask such stupid questions."

Neos smiled at him: "Since it's a misunderstanding, then I'll just tell the governor directly, and just ask if I want anything?"

The leader is stupid.

Are you kidding him?

"No, I really intend to talk to him this time."

Neos saw through his thoughts, and said seriously: "Didn't you see that I brought a bigger team this time?"

The corner of the leader's mouth twitched.

Do you mean thousands of riders with bows and swords?

I'm afraid it's not going to fight.

"I believe that after friendly negotiations, the governor will definitely recognize our legitimacy and reach a perfect trade agreement." Nios said.

The leader didn't know what to say, so he could only say a few words: "I wish you success."

"Thank you, next topic."

Neos waved his hand: "How is the situation in Ilchester?"

"There will not be any rejection of our trade request, and their supplies and food are also extremely short."

The leader pondered: "In fact, most of our products are sold near Ilchester."

"Yeah." Neos nodded.

"It's just not good. It seems that there are a lot of bandits around there, specializing in robbing caravans."

The leader frowned: "If it wasn't for the adults who sent someone to protect us this time, maybe we would have suffered."

Neos was silent for a moment: "Have you been attacked?"

"Yes, there are big and small ones, and the small ones are horse bandits and refugees, vulnerable to a single blow."

The leader was puzzled: "But the big ones are almost like an army, but the strange thing is that they didn't attack us, but retreated after watching for a while."

Nios held his chin and thought for a moment: "Can you see the flag, appearance, or military strength clearly?"

"Uh, this... feels like a lot of people."

The leader said: "And I see they are still wearing Roman soldiers' clothes."

"That's it~" Neos nodded.

Sure enough, everything is under control.

Nios suddenly fell into deep thought, his eyelids drooped slightly, and he tapped the table lightly with his index finger.

The lights seemed to stop beating, and the atmosphere in the tent was as dead as dead.

The leader dared not speak, and stood there tremblingly.

After a long silence, Neos suddenly said, "Thank you for your hard work."

"Ah, for Her Lady Queen, it's not hard work." The leader waved his hands repeatedly.

"It's good if you have such an awareness. Anyway, as long as you understand, as long as you support the queen, then there will always be benefits for you." Neos smiled without laughing.

"Thank you queen, thank you sir!" The leader bowed deeply.

"So you can't go back yet, because I have one last task for you." Neos said.

The leader choked, like a fishbone stuck in his throat, and stared at him with small eyes.

"Don't worry, there is no danger." Neos smiled.

The leader's face changed slightly: "My lord, what you said made me even more worried."

"I just want you to lead the second batch of caravans into various towns. You don't need to sell things or talk about business every day, just wait slowly."

Nios said: "You don't need to pay for room and board, the queen pays for everything."

"So, what exactly do you want me to do, my lord, just tell me directly." The leader showed a dying smile and gave up everything.

"You merchants are quite smart."

"It's all experience." The leader smiled wryly.

"Then I'll just say it."

Neos's smile gradually faded, and he stopped pretending, staring at him coldly: "I want you to contact all the businessmen you know.

Gaul, Germania, Italy... As long as you know, no matter how far or complicated the relationship is, please contact me. "

The leader pondered for a moment: "My lord, don't you want to take us all together?"

"No, I just want you to convey two messages to them." Nios spread his hands and said.

"information?"

"Hmm~" Neos nodded.

The leader is clear.

This makes sense. As the most mobile population, their merchants have to rely on them if they want to spread large-scale information on this land.

"What does your lord want me to convey?" the leader asked.

Nios raised his index finger and said in a deep voice, "One, I want you to spread the news in the city that the Celtic tribes in Britain will attack London again."

"My lord, do you want to fight London?" the leader asked subconsciously.

Nios didn't answer, but raised his second finger with a smile: "Second, the news that the Celtic tribe in Britain will attack the emperor's guard."

......

At night, the leader of the caravan retreated.

Nios looked at his back, and through the crack of the curtain door, he watched the businessmen outside gathered together, talking and laughing with each other.

He couldn't help sighing with emotion in his own language.

"Businessman, hurting people..."

In the history books, both Shang Jun and Jia Yi advocated emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business, not without reason.

Although business has benefits for the common people, compared with its disadvantages, it is not worth mentioning.

This is why Neos worked so hard to organize these businessmen.

If the plan is implemented smoothly, it will only be a matter of time before these merchants form guilds or alliances after the unification of Britain.

As for the reason for doing this, as the leader said before, one of them is that it will be better after getting together.

And another reason is that if the loose merchants are not organized, there will be too many "Kit Kat Merchants, Vendors and Food Travelers" over time.

Businessmen seek profit, so when the country is in crisis, the first thing businessmen think of is not encouraging production and benign mechanisms, but tricks frequently, forcing good people to be cheap.

What's more, it will "communicate with the princes, surpass the power of the officials, and lean on each other with benefits", and in the end "merge the peasants", causing a large number of private families to go into exile...

In a word, one thing that a businessman is thinking about is always how to bring the greatest benefit to himself at the lowest cost.

The reason why businessmen listen to Neos, or the country represented by Neos, is because the cost of resisting the country is too high, and at the same time, the benefits cannot reach the level of non-resistance.

And once one day, they discover that resisting the country can bring them monstrous benefits, Nios has no doubt that this group of businessmen will do something like change the dynasty!

This is also why he needs merchants to connect together and form guilds and alliances, both for the convenience of management and for the convenience of one pot.

Not to mention that after the establishment of the guild, an intelligence network throughout the world will also be formed.

Neos imagined the formation of such a force, and his eyes seemed to span thousands of miles, taking the whole of Britain and Rome into his vision.

Behind him, Fei was silent for a long time, then suddenly said, "My lord, I don't quite understand."

"What don't you understand?" Neos turned back.

"I know our goal is to kidnap the emperor, but why do you want to reveal our intention on purpose, my lord?" Fei asked.

"I don't understand here..."

Neos sighed, and then said: "Remember, girl, a battle does not start when two armies meet."

He paused: "As far as I am concerned, when the intelligence collection starts, then the combat readiness has basically been formed.

By the time I started distributing the intel, the battle had surfaced.

The use of tricks, the beginning and the end are often far apart. "

"Scheme?" Fei pondered the meaning of the word.

Nios laughed: "And the beginning of all schemes is to let the other party know their next step."

......

"Attack London?"

"Assault on the emperor?"

Gatus obviously suppressed his anger, patted the table lightly, and glared at the old man beside him.

"not me!"

Epos glared back angrily: "I never gave such an order!"

"It's all said to be a Celtic tribe, so who else can it be!"

Gatus growled: "If you like London, then don't come to this city! If you want to attack the emperor, then don't drag me into the water!"

"It's not me! I'm not the only tribe on the island!" Epos slapped the table.
