Chapter 21: Which company has the better ability to make money?

When Garin left the castle, he was a little depressed, muttering words like "stingy guy" and "Grandet"...

When he returned to his courtyard, he found Omar and Varokal already waiting for him in the yard.

"Omar, Varokal, do you two know how to make money quickly?"

Omar and Varokal looked confused when asked this question.

You can ask them to charge into battle and deploy troops, but asking them how to make money is like asking a blind man. The person you should ask about business is Harmon Kaven, the caravan manager.

As Garin's most trusted confidants, the two of them were spotted by Garin and promoted from the militia. Apart from the fact that they were also well-known NPC characters in Garin's previous gaming career, what was more important was that they were talented, had potential and drive.

Both of them were born as commoners in Stromgarde, but due to their outstanding talents, they were already high-level professionals in their twenties, which is rare among human countries.

Achieving the legendary level in the future might require a bit of luck, but achieving two ninth levels is a sure thing.

Not only Garin was optimistic about the two, even Solas said that he highly recognized them.

Just like Solas's right-hand men, General Oreste and General Amaren, both of them were selected to join Solas's personal guard when they were young, and they achieved their current success through their own efforts.

This can be considered as a royal tradition of Stromgarde, training talents for the royal heir in advance.

However, from Jialin's question, we can also see the difference between the two.

Just when Garin realized that he had asked the wrong person, Omar hesitated for a moment and said to the prince, "Your Highness, is making money quickly limited to business methods?"

When Garin heard that Omar actually had an idea, he became interested and replied, "Tell me, what do you think?"

"Your Highness, my superficial view of business is to turn the money in other people's pockets into money in your own pocket. This will naturally be accomplished by Harmon."

"But we need a lot of money, and trade is not the only way. Your Highness, I heard that trolls have the custom of burying people with gold. And they like to use gold to make all kinds of decorations."

Having said that, Omar stopped talking. Everyone knows what they should understand, so there is no need to explain it in too much detail.

It has to be said that Omar has his own outstanding qualities in becoming the first general of the Red Crusade in the future.

When Varokal heard this, his eyes lit up. Garin also felt as if he had suddenly realized something. Omar had opened his mind. He knew that making money was not just a way to sell in caravans. He also practiced martial arts to a certain extent.

What Omar said can be understood as a war dividend, which has relatively high requirements and requires winning a war, which requires strong strength, which Garin does not have at present.

Garin didn't have it, but he could crowdfund. Domestic nobles had plenty of money, and the powerful nobles also had soldiers. He could find a way to get them to pay and achieve his goal. As long as he could feed them in the end, his money problem would be solved.

A preliminary plan slowly took shape in Garin's mind.

He excitedly said to Omar and Varokal, "Mobilize our intelligence network and spread the news that His Majesty the King intends to train the prince and wants to establish an independent team with the First and Second Legions and the Militia Legion under the command of the prince, stationed in the southeast mine abandoned by the former royal family."

"Yes, Your Highness." After receiving the order, the two walked out of Garin's yard together.

A conversation between two people could be heard faintly outside the courtyard wall.

"Omar, why does the prince want us to spread this news?"

"Because the prince wants more people to know that the king allows the prince to lead an army alone."

"don't know."

"That's why I told you to study more. It's not enough to just practice martial arts, Carl."

"I have already completed the basic course set by the prince. I also need to learn map making. I don't have time to read books."

"Karl, your future is not limited to being a general. Only by studying more can you become a marshal."

"If you want to be a marshal, you have to read more books, right? I know, I know, but why do you keep asking me to read books like the prince?"

……

Varokal was born a commoner, and was more like a reckless man like Zhang Fei. He had high martial arts skills, and led his troops by shouting and charging recklessly. He didn't like reading, and his brain was full of muscle. But it was precisely because of his character, his single-mindedness, and his loyalty that earned him the trust of Jialin.

Compared with Varokal, Omar is much more stable and has a more flexible mind. He is an all-rounder. After years of training, he is now able to stand on his own. Garin has high expectations for him.

Hearing their voices gradually fading away, Jialin prepared to go back to his room to wash up and rest for a while.

After all, in order to come back to see Solas as soon as possible, they had been traveling non-stop all the way. Now Garin's thigh had a little cramp and he felt like he was unsteady when he walked.

Lying in the bathtub, the warm water soaked his whole body, and Garin felt relaxed. He leaned his back against the edge of the bathtub, supported his elbows on the platform, closed his eyes, and looked towards the base.

When Garin was on the road, whenever he stopped to rest for a while, he would go into the town hall and barracks and max out the training sequence. At this stage, gold was a little insufficient, so Garin did not build a second barracks.

Because of the current peaceful environment and the fact that the location of the base is very secretive, Garin can build the base leisurely without having to precisely calculate the use of every unit of gold.

I checked and found that the Archmage would be able to complete his training in less than half an hour. I also looked at the farmer's construction list and found that the other buildings that could be built at this stage were the sentry tower and the secret treasure house.

Sentry Tower: Basic watchtower, no attack power, can be upgraded to Arrow Tower, Arcane Tower and Artillery Tower. Magic Sentry can be researched in the Temple of Mystery.

Requirements: 30 units of gold, 20 units of wood

Secret Vault: Build a shop to buy and sell items. The items in the shop depend on the level of the town hall.

Requirements: 1300 units of gold, 300 units of wood

As for shops, they should be built in the center of the base. There is nothing wrong with going to the city center to buy things.

A farmer was selected, and the secret treasure house was deployed in the open space in the center. The farmer then started knocking on the open space.

At this moment, the number of combat units in the base has exceeded 100. When Garin left Sancha Town, there were already three teams of 18 people in the base. Later, Garin returned to Stromberg and spent five days training more than 80 units in the barracks.

Just when Garin was about to reorganize the infantry and musketeers, a golden light flashed on the Altar of Kings, and an old man with a white beard riding a white horse slowly took shape in the golden light.

The golden light slowly dissipated, and the old man riding the white horse had sharp eyes and a domineering gaze. He was wearing a gray-white wizard robe, holding the reins of the white horse in his left hand and a sword inlaid with a huge blue gem in his right hand.

The white horse and the white-robed wizard walked down the Altar of Kings step by step.

This is such a cool way of appearance. Jialin witnessed it from a 360-degree angle. He muttered silently in his heart:

The one riding the white horse may not be the prince, but Gandalf...
