Yan Xing looked at the reactions of the merchants under the stage and knew that the establishment of the Eternal Xing Chamber was reliable.

In the eyes of people in this world, traders are businessmen who buy and sell in reverse. Because of the speculative nature of buying low and selling high, traders have not had a very good reputation.

Everyone knows that they need traders to move materials from all over the country, but they always have an unknown disgust towards traders.

Especially when the price of the things I bought increased, I secretly cursed the merchants.

Moreover, he has been traveling to business all year round, which has caused some bad habits to be involved in business, and he has done a lot of things like robbery.

Therefore, the social status of businessmen is not high.

No one is willing to organize any industry associations for slick traders.

In Yanxing's eyes, business is very important.

To put it bluntly, it is actually logistics.

If Yonghengling wants to achieve industrialization, it will inevitably require a lot of resources and frequent trade.

With the future business expansion and the radiation of Eternal Grain Investment, a reliable logistics system will definitely be needed.

Eternal Reich set up a logistics network from scratch, which not only requires money and manpower, but also requires collecting customs and customs from all over the country.

There is something to do...

It's not something that can be done in a short time.

The businessman has personnel, fleets, and networks. If you collect them and integrate them slightly, you can start running immediately.

This is the main reason why Yanxing wants to form a business guild.

If you merge these businessmen, you will have ready-made logistics in the future. You don’t need to do it yourself, saving time, effort and money.

As for forming the mercenary army of Shangshang, in addition to the benefits mentioned by Yanxing, there are other reasons why this army is urgently formed.

Earl Theodore publicly admitted that Thunder Swamp was equivalent to the Duchy of Silver Mane. In addition to bringing many benefits to Yanxing, he also characterized Yanxing and his circle of power as outsiders.

The Eternal Leader's army will be greatly restricted in the activities of the Silver Manicure Duke, and his business in the Silver Manicure Duke will only grow bigger and bigger in the future.

It is necessary to protect its interests in the public.

The purpose of the establishment of the Eternal Trading Chamber is to protect the safety of trade routes.

And what you want to do in the future, the excuse of "free passage" is very useful.

Therefore, Yanxing proposed to form a guild mercenary and had no perfunctory idea.

Instead, this army that has not yet been formed is very important.

Because of the particularity of this mercenary, it is impossible to maintain a large scale.

This requires every member of this army to be very capable.

Yanxing proposed that each merchant sends family children to join the mercenary army, and lets these family children go to business with the caravan most of the time, just to let these merchants send their best children out.

Trading is a family industry. Trading is a business that spares no effort to cultivate family children in order to continuity of the caravan.

Through the information learned from Eden.

There is a selection system within the business merchant family. When encountering young people with potential, they will definitely find ways to get him trained by a certain lord to advance to a high-level warrior.

This is a very large investment, but all traders are willing to spend this money.

They value the cultivation of family children the most.

If there is the opportunity to train family children, and family children serve the interests of the family, they will definitely send outstanding children to the mercenaries.

In this way, the guild mercenaries have excellent military resources.

As for how to control this mercenary...

First of all, it is a common interest.

With Eternal Tie and everyone make money together, the loyalty of the mercenaries naturally has the most basic guarantee.

Then there is the logistics system restraint.

The flintlock rifle developed by Chuaishuai has met the actual combat requirements after testing during this period.

The mercenary soldiers have a complex source and are always there, so it is not convenient to carry out training according to their respective ranks.

Therefore, Yanxing decided that all soldiers below the seventh level were equipped with flintlock rifles.

Level 7 and above are cavalry, and weapons will be distributed separately.

The flintlock rifle used for infantry has been produced in Eternal Corps.

The fixed flintlock model is named: Type 21.

The gun body is 1.6 meters long, and the bayonet is 1.9 meters long.

Breeze loading, using paper shell black powder bullets.

After skillfully using the flintlock rifle, you can shoot six shots in one minute.

After repeated trials, it can be determined that the shooting skills of the shooter unit can still work on the musket, with higher accuracy than that of the non-shoter unit.

Even if non-shooter units use this musket, the lethality of dense line shooting is far higher than that of conventional crossbows.

Firearms depend heavily on logistics.

As long as you firmly grasp the logistics supply and strictly manage each shot and one person, mercenaries will not be able to cause any chaos.

As for the practical effect of this new firearm in this world?

Yan Xing dared not easily experiment on his own army.

Although in the real world, large-scale use of firearms eventually eliminates cold weapons.

But there is magic in this world...

Without knowing how effective the firearm is, the army of Eternal Leader will adapt its combat habits. Once there is a problem, it will be a big problem.

Mercenaries from the commerce guild can be used as a pilot for new weapons and new tactics.

Anyway, the mercenaries faced bandits and ruffians in the early stage, and the war was highly tolerant, so they could adjust them in time when they found problems.

There are also many small-scale practical combat.

It is just right to practice and fight while summarizing experience, and then apply it to the main force of Yongchengling to reform.

Yan Xing was thinking about the idea of ​​mercenaries in the business circles.

The discussions among the businessmen in the audience are becoming more and more intense.

The more we discussed, the more the merchants felt that once they had an army formed by their own soldiers, the back of the business would become stronger in the future.

Then you will encounter the robbery...

No matter who robs anyone, it is possible to have any.

Moreover, after the big guys gather together, they need people and soldiers, and it is not easy to open up new trade routes.

Other businessmen have no courage to compete with us for business.

Finally, all traders expressed their willingness to join the Eternal Trade Fair.

They also jointly elected Mr. Yanxing as the first president of the Eternal Xing Chamber.

Yanxing accepted the position of president unswervingly and appointed Eden as vice president to handle the establishment of the guild.

As for the position of mercenary commander of the guild, no one dared to compete with Master Yanxing.

After all, the money for training the army was paid by Mr. Yanxing.

So Master Yanxing was a military and political leader, and the Eternal Travel Commerce Association was officially established.

The business meeting was over, and Yan Xing wasted a lot of time here. The banquet was still being held, and as the host, it is not suitable for not showing up for too long.

Yanxing handed over the next part of the meeting to Abbot Eden and asked him to count the mercenaries sent by each company to join the guild as soon as possible.

Become a military as soon as possible and train as soon as possible.

Taking advantage of the idle period of business trips during the war, train guild mercenaries.

After the war is over, merchants can leave, they can send mercenaries to open up trade routes everywhere.

Eden is very grateful to be so reused by Master Yanxing.
