31. Visit Bishop Beaufort
For Scott, these merchants entering Norfolk to do business is equivalent to transfusions of blood, which can only solve the current problem, but cannot solve the permanent problem.
But if these merchants moved the Chamber of Commerce to Norfolk and developed it outward with Norfolk as their base, this move would be like hematopoietic.
It is obvious that compared with blood transfusion, hematopoietic actions are obviously more realistic.
He helped Scott into the carriage, and Garen rode outside to communicate with Scott: "But they don't want to come to Norfolk, what are the masters going to do?"
Resting his body against the wall of the car, Scott sighed and said, "What else can I do? At present, I can only build a developed river network in Norfolk as soon as possible to create a good and relaxed business development environment. In this way, I don't have to worry about businessmen not willing to move to Norfolk to do business."
After all, with the sycamore tree, are you still afraid of not attracting the golden phoenix? In a word, you still need to be strong by yourself!
After shook his head and no longer considered the businessman's affairs, Scott told Garen: "It's getting late. I'll send someone to buy some food first, and then we will find a yard to live in, and then buy some mercenaries in London to fill our men and protect our property. Finally, after everything is settled, we will visit Bishop Beaufort."
Garen naturally would not object to Scott's order. Soon, the group found a secluded yard through the intermediary.
After getting off the carriage and entering the yard, Scott looked at him and was very satisfied: "This yard is relatively closed, and there is also a warehouse there, which is quite suitable for us to preserve our property."
"Master, then I'll send someone to transport the property to the warehouse now?" Garen solicited opinions.
Scotty head: "Well, move the property into the warehouse as soon as possible. Remember to send people we trust to guard it. In addition, we must strengthen military inspections. Do you understand?"
Galen agreed one by one, and then personally directed the men to manipulate these things.
After everything was settled, Galen came to report this time: "Master, everything has been handled. In addition, I have sent someone to inquire about mercenaries. I believe that we will get a lot of mercenaries tomorrow!"
"Well, I'll be relieved to do your business. It's OK. I've been traveling for several days. You guys should also take a break early!"
Waving his hand to signal Garen to retreat, Scott fell to sleep on the bed. Although he had not been very hard to travel these days, he was very tired after staying in the carriage. After all, he still felt comfortable sleeping in the bed.
In about half a minute, Scott was already asleep.
…………
Early the next morning, Scott was awakened by a loud shout.
"We solemnly swear before God that during our mercenary, we swear to be loyal to Mr. Scott and take Mr. Scott's wealth, life and safety as our responsibility..."
Listening to this brainwashing language, Scott was speechless for a while, quickly put on his clothes, opened the door and saw that nearly one hundred people gathered in the yard.
"Master, are you awake?" Seeing Scott coming out of the room, Garen hurried over to greet and salute.
Scott reached out and knocked on his head: "How could I not wake up because it's so noisy?"
"Sorry, Master!" Garen scratched his head awkwardly: "Why don't I take them out and you continue to sleep?"
"Forget it, I won't sleep anymore." Scott asked, covering his mouth and yawned, "Why have you found so many mercenaries? We can't live in this yard!"
"I don't want to find so many, but they are all from the same place. Their captain begged me to hope that I can accept them all." Speaking of this, Galen smiled as if he had picked up a big bargain: "Their captain said that as long as they are not dispersed, we can give half the price! So I agreed!"
Scott frowned and said, "How many times have you told me, don't be greedy for cheapness? Where are they from? How about physical fitness and basic physical fitness? So what about war consciousness and collaboration consciousness? Have you asked all these clearly?"
Garen quickly replied: "I have already asked clearly that these people have participated in the war against Scotland, but because during the war, their families were killed by the Scottish army, they all became poor people who had no family to return! In order to survive, there was no way, they could only serve as mercenaries. As for their skills? I just tried it and they were definitely qualified mercenaries!"
After listening to Garen's report, Scott felt relieved: "Okay, then look at the dispatch of the troops. After the dispatch, send the troops to follow me to pay homage to Bishop Beaufort."
"Yes!" Galen agreed, his hands and feet were not idle, and he quickly mobilized all the people.
"You more than 40 people are responsible for guarding the warehouse, you more than 20 people are responsible for patrolling the yard. You more than 20 people are following me to stand guard, and the rest will go out with Ye and Mr. Scott to do business!"
Scott waved his hand and refused: "No, Garen, just arrange this place! I'll just take someone to see Bishop Beaufort!"
After all, there is a wealth worth nearly 55,000 pounds here, so the most trustworthy person must guard the place.
After all, Garen agreed to stay here, and then Scott took his men and headed straight to Bishop Beaufort's house.
Bishop Beaufort's home is on the south bank of the River Thames, the River Thames is the mother river of the Kingdom of England and also a source of drinking water for London. It was very prosperous in the 21st century, but in 1444, the River Thames was not very prosperous.
However, because it is located on the bank of the river, the scenery is pleasant and the environment is quiet, most nobles built villas or houses here.
When the group spent a long time finally finding Bishop Burford's house, they were stopped by the guards outside the door.
In the carriage, Scott heard the rude and rude voice of the doorman: "Who are you? Can you step into Bishop Beaufort's area at will!"
The mercenaries did not answer, but turned around and picked up the curtain and said, "Master Scott, we have arrived at our destination!"
Scott agreed and slowly jumped out of the car.
When the guard saw the red rose on Scott's collar, his originally arrogant attitude suddenly became gentle: "Dare you ask where the master comes from? But did he bring any instructions from His Majesty the King?"
