"How can I find a suitable teacher for you? The Count can't help you with everything! Your rifle purchase amount probably won't be able to support such a huge plan."
"You're right, maybe I'm a little too optimistic." Tang Mo also felt that relying on a poor officer to handle these things was a bit too much.
Although the Earl's reputation in Beiling is indeed very high and his dominance is very strong, Tang Mo also knows that this is Bunas, and the Earl's influence is beyond his reach.
Moreover, for his own personal reasons, he did not want to put all his trump cards under the earl's nose.
Although the current cooperation between the two parties is indeed very stable and enjoyable, who knows what it will develop into in the future?
Thinking of Tang Mo here, he realized that there were still many things he had to do, many things he needed to worry about, and many things had to be prepared now.
After all, some things can be accelerated, while some things have no solution and can only be accumulated over time.
For example, if Tang Mo wants to establish a qualified intelligence network, he needs to recruit people covertly and patiently build it up bit by bit.
Comparatively speaking, building a primary school is still a very simple matter for Tang Mo. The investment is not large, it only requires some wooden houses and a few recruited teachers.
The treatment for junior teachers these days is actually very average. No one pays much attention to the education of civilians, so it is not difficult to recruit a few teachers to teach.
Tang Mo has actually made up his mind to build a school, because he knows that if he wants to gain a foothold in this world, he should cultivate a group of talents who can understand him!
In his plan, building factories requires a large number of talents, a large number of modern industrial talents who are literate and can evolve themselves!
Moreover, there are not only such manufacturing talents, but also a large number of management talents who manage factories for him and can keep up with his ideas.
Coupled with the intelligence summary and analysis talents to build the intelligence network he needs, and the combat talents to protect his industry...
So many talents need to be cultivated by him. This is not the earth in the 21st century, and it is not the era where college students can grab a handful and leave as soon as they are called.
So he could only cultivate these talents by himself, cultivate them bit by bit, irrigate bit by bit, and wait for these seeds to take root and sprout, and eventually grow up to become towering trees that can protect them from wind and rain.
Tang Mo didn't want to have to go to the customer's place to be a training instructor when he was selling fighter jets in a few years or even more than ten years.
His military-industrial empire will continue to develop, and it will develop rapidly at some point - the world cannot keep up with his development speed, so he can only pull the whole world forward.
But he can't do everything on his own, so he needs countless people who can do things for him. Of these people... there are none yet!
Neither Matthews nor Roger meets Tang Mo's requirements. Such people may develop into highly loyal subordinates in the future, but like the whole world, they have no way to keep up with Tang Mo's progress.
speed.
Tang Mo was confident that he could pull them forward together. He could personally train the old dwarf Matthews into a technical master. He was also confident of transforming Roger into a close confidant, but he did not have time to destroy all the people he met.
Transform the individual into what he needs.
Therefore, he needs schools, a large number of schools, and various schools to help him cultivate the talents he needs as soon as possible.
He muttered in a low voice and did not ask Tiger to help him build a school: "However, I should build a school. This is something that must be done! Everyone in my factory should be literate and know how to build a school.
It makes sense!"
After making up his mind to build a school, he looked at Tiger again, as if he was looking at a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered: "Follow me! Tiger! The first thing we have to deal with is the land matter! With this
, most things can be solved easily!”
Now, under the banner of the Earl, he is going to acquire a large piece of cheap land between Bunas and the Vicious Forest for future development and expansion.
He even wants to buy a piece of land by the sea and try to build his own port in the future to expand overseas trade.
In short, what he has to do now is to spend a lot of money to expand his power as soon as possible, even just a little bit!
"Wes!" Before Tang Mo went out, he summoned his current security captain. Although this ranger from Beiling was not very loyal, to Tang Mo he was much better than Tiger.
At least Weiss is nominally his, and Tiger is nominally one of Earl Fisherow's subordinates...
"Boss!" Weiss, who was chatting with several Earl's soldiers at the gate, heard Tang Mo's call and rushed over immediately.
"We are going to visit the mayor of Bunas and the Sheriff... Get the carriage ready!" Tang Mo ordered Weiss.
"Okay! I'll go right away." Weiss nodded and walked towards his house. After he saw Tiger, he guessed that Tang Mo was preparing to show off his strength, so he went to get his weapon first.
Since you are going to show off your power and intimidate others, you must bring scary props. Obviously, the most terrifying prop in this era must be a musket.
"You guys, come with me!" Tiger on the side also realized that if he was just going to discuss business, there was no need for Tang Mo to let him follow. He was just a bit straightforward, not stupid, so he quickly figured it out.
Tang Mo means.
It is simply impossible to purchase a large amount of land and building materials with existing gold coins.
Therefore, under the banner of Lord Count, it is necessary to find a way to make one gold coin reflect the value of two or even three gold coins.
Because one of his purposes here is to help Tang Mo settle some troubles, Tiger felt that it was necessary to show his presence at this time.
Before Tang Mo's requests, he could only rely on writing letters to contact the earl. This time it was obvious that he had the ability to handle them on his own, so he naturally became more energetic.
Soon, Tang Mo's carriage appeared on the streets of Bunas Town. What was different from the past was that this time, behind his carriage were six soldiers carrying flintlock rifles.
Tiger was riding on his own horse, followed by two men with wolf flags. The whole team was not huge in the lively town, but it was definitely an eye-catching formation.
It is rare that such a group visits Bunas, and in some respects the town is almost undefended.
The navy of the Kingdom of Leyte is basically deployed near the large ports further south, and Bunas's main role is actually only to undertake fishing tasks.
The Kingdom of Susas, which had a bad relationship with the Kingdom of Leyte, could not attack Bunas from the sea, so the Kingdom did not deploy heavy troops here.
Even from a distance, you can hear the noisy cries in the market: "Cooking cakes! Cooking cakes! Cheap!" "Apples! Delicious apples!"
These hawking sounds made people feel friendly and made the whole town full of vitality. Tang Mo leaned in the carriage of the carriage and with his eyes closed, he felt more and more peaceful and at ease.
Tiger was riding on his horse, squinting at the flourishing market in the distance. People were selling their goods under the walls of the not-tall stone buildings.
Dried salted fish hang on the wooden shelves, which come from not-so-distant seaside villages. You can also see some businessmen from distant countries holding some tropical fruits in their hands to sell.
There were people leading livestock and people pulling carts, and the crowded streets were lined with stone buildings—Tang Mo had seen this kind of narrow street structure in Western-style cities before traveling through it, which was messy and backward.
After years of development, a typical basic urban design built for street battle defense has been filled with many meaningless civilian buildings.
The walls with the main body made of stone or the side of the house are shelters made of wood. Some windows have furs hung to dry, and some walls have carvings on them - simple human faces or animal heads, which look nothing like anything.
fine.
Everyone is crowded together, the steps are densely packed, the practicality is actually very poor, and the sanitary conditions are not very good. The ditches extending along the walls on both sides of the street exude an unpleasant smell, and you can even see rats slithering quickly in them.
Pass.
When the crowd on the street saw Tang Mo's team, the atmosphere seemed to become a little heavy.
The cloud of war has been hanging over everyone's mind recently, and everyone is full of fear of the impending war.
The sudden appearance of a group of soldiers in a small town will of course make the people here extremely nervous. Everyone is panic-stricken, fearing that these soldiers are here to recruit soldiers or bring some bad news.
Everyone watched with curiosity as these people stopped in front of the most glamorous office building built of gray and white stone in the town.
Although it is said to be an office building, it actually only has two floors and is not very spectacular. The tax office and the police station are crowded here, and the mayor also handles official business here.
In fact, there is a prison at the back here, which is used to temporarily detain criminals. There is a long corridor connecting the prison at the back to the small office building, overlooking the I-shaped structure.
When they saw the wolf flag representing Count Fischereau parked at the door, the guards in the two towns didn't know what had happened.
They watched in a daze as Tiger turned over and dismounted, and then saw him open the door of the carriage. Then they saw a familiar face jump out of the carriage.
"Don't interrupt whatever I say later, understand?" Tang Mo warned Tiger again.
