Chapter 503 The ambition to trap the enemy
"Yes!"
Several people agreed one after another, their hearts filled with pride and ambition.
With the inner strength method, Lin Xiaofan's sufficient funds, and these carefully selected soldiers, they are full of confidence in leading this army and becoming famous in the future.
In time, they will also become famous.
"Brother Lin, this army doesn't have a name yet. How about you pick one?"
Wen Yue suddenly thought of a question and said.
An army must have a name.
"You really need to have a more domineering name."
Lin Xiaofan nodded slightly, thought for a moment and then said:
"If this army wants to become an elite, it must have the ambition to trap the enemy. How about... let's call it the enemy army."
Lin Xiaofan said.
"Trapping Army, what a name!"
Duanmu Liangjiang immediately praised him.
"From now on, the names of the trapped troops will definitely be resounding throughout Daqian! No, they will be resounding throughout the whole world!"
"In the future, no matter which country's army they are in, they will be frightened when they hear the name of the trapped army!"
Since then, there has been an additional army in Lifeng Town, and the sound of training can be heard almost every day outside the city.
Wenyue has very strict requirements for this army, and the daily training schedule is full. When the soldiers returned to camp every day, they felt that their entire bodies were weak.
But even so, none of the soldiers complained. Instead, they strictly demanded themselves.
Mr. Champion Hou gave them such a high salary, and gave them good food, and occasionally gave them some meat. It was too late for them to be grateful for such good treatment. How could they have any intention to complain?
And most of them are people who have been on the battlefield and know how cruel the battlefield is. The harder you train on a daily basis, the higher your chances of survival will be when you go to the battlefield in the future.
In this way, the combat power of this army grew at an alarming rate. However, within three days, it began to look like an army. Every shout and every movement was almost done at the same time.
In seven days, the army had mastered some basic battle formations.
Lin Xiaofan was patrolling the army. In the past fifteen days, the growth rate of this army surprised him.
He has commanded many wars, and he can tell at a glance whether an army is truly strong or weak on the outside.
Today's trapped army, if nothing else, will definitely not lose at all against the same number of Qingzhou troops.
You must know that each of the Qingzhou Army is an elite who has experienced hundreds of battles, and has been trained for three or four years. It can be said that they are the elite among the elite. Not even the Beijing Iron Guard could compete with it.
The trapped army has only been training for half a month until now. What if it takes another six months or a year to go through the baptism of several battles?
"Master Champion Hou, Elder Guan Gui said that he would like to invite you to be a guest of the housekeeper."
A member of the Wen family walked over quickly and said.
Hearing this, Lin Xiaofan nodded slightly. If nothing unexpected happened, it was the person in charge of your caravan who came.
Just in time to finish this matter quickly, he returned to Degao Town. This trapped army was also brought back with them.
Stepping into the housekeeper's door, Guan Gui and Guan Tong hurriedly came out to greet them.
"Master Champion Hou, please come inside."
Guan Gui bowed.
Several people walked all the way to the living room, where there were still seven or eight people sitting, including men and women, old and young. Most of them were dressed plainly, and their looks were not outstanding, but their behavior revealed a bit of dexterity, which made them look reliable.
Seeing Lin Xiaofan coming, they all saluted.
"You are all exempt from courtesy. You don't need to salute when you see me in the future."
Lin Xiaofan said.
"Master Champion Hou, let me introduce to you, this is Wu Ji, the second boss of our chamber of commerce, this is Ju Qiao, the third boss, and this is the fourth boss..."
Guan Gui introduced them one by one.
"Okay, everyone, sit down quickly."
Lin Xiaofan nodded to them one by one. If nothing else happens, these people will all be his from now on.
After the introduction, food and wine began to be served on the table. Everyone was talking politely, and it wasn't until halfway through the meal that Guan Gui spoke:
"Master Champion Hou, my brothers and sisters and I have discussed it. From now on, we are all willing to work with you. In terms of wages, you can just give our caravan fifteen thousand taels of silver a year."
Guan Gui said.
They also discussed that as a caravan, what they need most is a backer.
The champion Hou is young and promising, and he is also reliable. With such a backer, even if he makes five thousand taels less, it's not a big deal.
Hearing this, Lin Xiaofan frowned and said:
"How can this work? Didn't your caravan earn 20,000 taels of silver a year before? If you follow me, how can you get less money? According to what I said before, you just need to follow me, and the wages will be doubled. times."
"This……"
Hearing this, Guan Gui was speechless. Looking at Lin Xiaofan like this, he was definitely serious and not just talking politely. But if you agree, it will be equivalent to taking a big advantage.
Not to mention that he owed Lin Xiaofan a favor, he also felt very uneasy in his heart.
"Master Champion Hou, how can we take advantage of you? Moreover, our caravan including the guards only has a thousand people. Earning 20,000 taels of silver a year is already the limit."
Wu Ji, the second master, said.
"Master Champion Hou, it's our honor to work with you. If we make less, it doesn't matter if you make more."
Ju Qiao, the third boss, also spoke quickly.
Hearing this, Lin Xiaofan smiled bitterly. I didn’t expect that when I gave money to others, no one else would want it.
After he took over the caravan, he was confident that he would earn hundreds of thousands of taels of silver from doing business every year. The salary of 40,000 taels of silver for the caravan is not much at all.
"Guan Gui, can you trust the people here?"
Lin Xiaofan asked.
"Master Champion Hou, don't worry, these people are my brothers who have been with me for more than ten years, there is absolutely no problem."
Guan Gui was stunned for a moment, then he patted his chest and promised.
"In that case, I will make it clear."
Lin Xiaofan paused and then said:
"I'll give you two choices. The first one is to do some ordinary business, mainly selling some items needed by daily people to other countries. If you can do it well, I will give you forty thousand taels of silver a year."
"Second, make a risky business. If it can be done, you can earn one hundred thousand taels of silver a year. If you can do it well, you can earn two hundred thousand taels of silver a year."
Hearing this, everyone took a deep breath.
Two hundred thousand taels of silver!
It can be said that after more than ten years of hard work, the combined wealth of all of them is less than half of this amount. And by following Lin Xiaofan, they could get this amount of money in just one year. How could they not be excited?
However, they did not agree wholesale because they understood that high returns meant high risks. Moreover, Lin Xiaofan has already made it clear that this matter is extremely dangerous.
