Chapter 515 Mercenary

Jinazawa Jun nodded slightly and said, "Yes, Lord Wang, I'm just about to talk to you about this issue!"

"Then let's talk!"

Jiang Lang smiled and looked up at the merchant ships anchored on the beach in the distance. As for what to talk about, you must let the prince speak.

Jinazawa Shin was slightly silent, then said: "I guess Lord Wang also knew that last time we escorted, our warship was ambushed by the Komu Army and wiped out the entire army. Now there is no sea power in the country to protect these merchant ships, so I want to ask you to send troops to protect these merchant ships!"

"The emperor and I have also discussed this issue!"

Jiang Lang said without any hesitation.

Jinazawa Jung's face was filled with joy and asked, "Have you discussed it with the emperor?"

Jiang Lang nodded and said, "It was when we were in the capital, the information here was also sent here, so although it was thousands of miles away, I was very clear about what happened here. In terms of the information, some merchants went out alone to sea because our dynasty did not send troops to protect him. They took the attack from the Komu Army, and they would be severely injured!"

This information is included in the information sent, and Jiang Lang remembers it clearly.

Shan Kanazawa nodded a little heavy and said, "Sir, it's true. It's true. They originally thought they could escape the Komu Army, but they didn't expect Komu Army to know that they set up an ambush halfway. In the end, these merchants not only were the goods taken away, but also the people were killed. Now these merchants also knew that if there was no escort fleet, there would be no way to transport the goods safely. Therefore, the rest of the merchants could only dock the ship here and wait for you to come back!"

Jiang Lang touched his chin and then said, "This Mu army is indeed a problem, and the most important point is that we don't know how many troops the Mu army still has, and how many warships should be sent to escort it. If the number is small, it will repeat the same mistakes. Maybe it will be attacked by the Mu army and then wiped out the entire army. But if there are too many words, it will be a huge burden for us. After all, this long-distance sailing still has big problems such as supply."

"We've considered this!"

Shin Kanazawa said quickly, then pointed to the merchant ships and said, "The warships and soldiers' supplies are also available. These merchants are willing to contribute funds to solve this problem, which means that you do not have to bear the supply."

"Somewhat sincerity!"

Jiang Lang nodded slightly. Foreign trade has always been a violent industry at this time. The profit of a cargo ship being transported to its destination may be five times the profit of being sold in China, or even more. So even if these merchants are asked to take out some silver as a supply for warships, it is quite cost-effective for them. So why in China, Jiang Lang lets the Chamber of Commerce and the court have the least amount of goods to be sold in 550, which is the reason.

When Jinazawa Shin heard Jiang Lang say this, she suddenly felt happy and asked, "Has that sir?"

Jiang Lang shook his head slightly and said, "The merchants are willing to contribute capital. In one aspect, the merchants are very sincere, but I don't agree with this,"

"Mr. Wang disagrees?"

Jinazawa Jun said in surprise, his face suddenly looked a little ugly. Seeing Jiang Lang's appearance just now, he thought he had agreed, but he didn't know that he actually disagreed. This was somewhat beyond his expectations.

"Not disagree!"

Jiang Lang said lightly, "But I think there is a different way, that is, you come and hire us!"

A look of confusion appeared on Jinazawa Jung's face and asked, "Helping?"

"Yes, it's hire!"

Jiang Lang nodded and said, "The goods transported by this merchant are relatively valuable and not valuable. If it is generalized, some merchants will definitely not accept it. Therefore, we charge commissions based on the actual value of the goods of each ship. If these merchants go to sea, they must first report the type, quantity, and value of the goods to us, and then we charge commissions based on the goods. We will send someone to verify the quantity and price. If someone falsely reports or falsely reports, then we regard it as dishonest and we have the right to refuse.

After his escort and transportation requirements are paid, we will provide protection. If we encounter the Komu Army, even if we fight to the last soldier, we will vow to protect the safety of these merchants to the death. If our soldiers are losing their goods because of our escape, we will compensate them according to the price. However, if we encounter a large number of enemies and we are defeated and the entire army is wiped out, the merchants will be attacked by the Komu Army, or if the merchant ships do not obey us and suffer losses during the battle, we will not compensate us!"

The method that Jiang Lang mentioned, which is the so-called mercenary, actually has already appeared for a long time. For example, the escort agency can barely be regarded as the past life of a mercenary. Jiang Lang comes from the future and naturally understands what kind of role a mercenary is. As long as you give money, you can work hard.

However, Jinazawa Jun is obviously a little confused about Jiang Lang's proposal, and said strangely: "What do you mean is we hire you?"

Jiang Lang nodded and said, "Yes, you only need to give money. You don't have to care about the rest of the matter. We will solve the supply problems ourselves. I believe you also know that the goods shipped by these merchants are different, and the prices are naturally different. If these merchants are asked to give the same price, how could some people be convinced? Does the prince want to argue with these merchants because of this? I don't think there is any need at all. To put it bluntly, the goods shipped are also valuable. The more the merchants have to pay, the higher their profits!"

Jin Zeshan was silent for a moment. Jiang Lang's method was completely different from the one he had discussed with those merchants. There were quite a few differences and he could not make a decision like this. Thinking of this, Jin Zeshan said: "Let's do this, I'll discuss it with those merchants. If they are willing, I have no objection, what?"

"This is the best!"

Jiang Lang smiled and said, "What we think is based on mutual trust between the two sides. I don't want some people to be dissatisfied with!"

Jinazawa Seon nodded quickly, then hurriedly got off the warship and summoned the merchants.

In order to wait for the escort of the Ming warships, the merchants were all in the military port. After hearing the summons of Kanazawa Sun, they rushed over, and Kanazawa Sun also spoke very honestly about Jianglang's meaning.

Jiang Lang's opinion caused a lot of trouble among merchants. There are about three reactions. The first is to agree. The goods transported by these merchants are not of high value. The original sharing of the burden by Jin Zeshan said that everyone has actually made these merchants dissatisfied. According to the ideas of these merchants, their goods are not as valuable as others. Why should they be at the same price as others? Therefore, Jiang Lang is more welcome to pay the bank according to the actual value of the goods. The second is to object. Merchants are smart. Jin Zeshan's method can save them a lot of money. However, Jiang Lang cannot save the money, so he naturally opposes it. The third is to wait and see and unwilling to stand up.

Shan Kanazawa wrote down the opinions of these people, counted the number, and then stood 30% of those who agreed, 40% of those who disagreed, and 20% of the other 20% did not express their opinions. They were waiting.

After writing it, Jin Zeshan came to Jianglang's camp overnight and handed the things to Jianglang to see, intending to ask Jianglang for advice to see if there is room for redirection, or use other methods to replace it.

Jiang Lang just glanced at these lists and put them aside at will, and then threw down only one sentence: For those who are willing, the Ming Dynasty's fleet is willing to provide escorts and guarantees at any time, and can register tomorrow. Then we will send people to check the quantity and price of goods on the ship, and then pay a commission. After all the verification is completed, we will send the hull to escort to the destination. If we don't want to, we will not force it, and we will not provide any escorts. If we try to follow these paid merchant ships while we are protecting these paid merchant ships, I'm sorry, if we discover and treat them as enemy ships, I will authorize my fleet to have the right to sink them!

"Sink them?"

Jinazawa Jung seemed to have heard it wrong, and said in surprise: "That's our merchant ship!"

"It's nothing wrong with your merchant ship!"

Jiang Lang said lightly, "If we don't pay the commission, we naturally cannot provide relevant services. We are not ours. At sea, in order to ensure the safety of these merchant ships that paid the commission, we will not allow any warships to follow, because it may be the warships of the Komu Army. Once discovered and eliminated, we will ensure the safety of other merchant ships. This is our mission!"

Shan Kanazawa suddenly felt cold. Perhaps the merchants had this plan. When the warship was escorting, they followed behind. When the Komu Army saw it, they would naturally not attack. This not only saved money, but also ensured their own safety. Even if the Komu Army attacked, it would be impossible for the Ming Dynasty to stop the death. Now it seems that the Ming Dynasty will not only stop the death, but also attacked.

"I'm going to discuss it with them!"
