On the seventeenth day after the battle in Jushi Town, Yat formally formed an armed caravan at the Valley Wood Fort.

The caravan was equipped with eighteen four-wheeled carriages and carriage animals, fifteen armed guards, one full-time horseman, one servile servant, one chief, two deputy three managers, a total of twenty people. The caravan guards were equipped with a set of heraldic black burqa, a short spear, a shield, and one sword, hammer, axe, bow and arrow. They were usually coachmen and guards in distress. The caravan guards enjoyed the treatment of officials, and the monthly salary was 60 Finny; the horseman was mainly responsible for feeding the caravan's mules, horses and livestock, and shared the treatment of officials, and the monthly salary was 60 Finny; the caravan was responsible for the management of food, accommodation and supplies of the entire caravan, and the monthly salary was 50 Finny.

There are three responsibilities of the caravan. The main responsibilities are of course to make money by doing business; the secondary responsibilities are to purchase weapons, armor, horses, fine iron for the army, and recruit blacksmiths, craftsmen, and medical personnel in urgent need of the territory. The last hidden responsibilities are to collect intelligence and inquire about information for Yat.

Yat is a knight, and the knight's duty is to march and fight on the battlefield. In order to avoid the secular accusation of a military noble of being addicted to commerce, the formally formed armed caravan named Baron Galvin. The flag raised by the caravan is also the blue-bottomed golden sheep irises pattern flag of Baron Galvin.

"Mr. Galvin has replied that he allowed us to send the armed caravan to his house, and he also intends to hand over one of the trade roads from Sap to the western province of Kodor to us for temporary operation." Salter, the caravan manager, said to Yat with Baron Galvin's letter.

"My father-in-law was worried that I would interfere with the Eastern Line and the South Goods Trade and offend the Dean family, so he asked me to run the Western Line, but I didn't plan to take out silver coins from my family's wallet. I set up such a big battle and died so many brothers in order to trade the Eastern Line." The South Goods Trade Route in the three provinces in Sapssi was developed by Baron Galvin for decades, and it was also his lifelong efforts. Att did not intend to divide the soup from Baron Galvin's bowl. Moreover, for Att's territory, the trade route of the Sapssi Line needs to detour the northern border of Provence, and the distance is long, so it is not the best trade route.

"No matter what, how are the goods prepared?" Yat asked.

"In the past few months, the caravan used the caravan to escort goods for Mr. Galvin to cover up the news, while using Mr. Galvin to secretly go to various parts of the northern Provence to acquire southern goods and hoard them in the border outpost. In addition to the goods of the Northbound Business Travel that the border outpost has forcibly acquired in the past few months, we have already stocked up fifteen cars of southern goods, with a purchase price of 35,000 Finney. If it can be sold smoothly, it is initially estimated that it can reach 80,000 Finney. In addition to the caravan's salary and consumption, we can make a net profit of 40,000 Finney. This is just the lowest valuation~" Salter said with his eyes wide open.

"You only bought fifteen cars in more than four months? On average, less than four cars of southern goods are still less than four cars in a month." Yat's words meant to blame.

Salter quickly explained: "Sir, we buy southern goods in a quiet way. In order not to make people doubt, we dare not buy in large quantities every time, so it is slow. Besides, there are not many southern goods reserves in northern Provence now, and fifteen vehicles are already our greatest efforts."

Yat thinks about this, "Okay, 15 cars are only 15 cars. When this golden river is opened, we will not be afraid of no source of goods~"

"Have you done the escort matters? Have you emphasized the dangers that may arise on this journey to the escorts? You must explain it to them clearly. If you want to quit now, it will be too late."

"Sir, I have emphasized with the guards that two family guards have left, and the old housekeeper and I have selected two young and strong men from the valley guards to add in. The rest of the guards were mostly a group of warriors recruited by the caravan from outside, and they were all fearless."

"Well, quitting in advance is not considered escaping. If you dare to retreat in the face of battle, the sword in my hand is not just for the enemy."

"Sir, I know. I will confirm it again."

"Okay, you go down and prepare. I will take a small number of elite soldiers with the caravan tomorrow at noon. We will first go to the border outpost to load the cargo."

After Salter left, Yat ordered Ron to call Angus to the office room.

"Master Sergeant, I will leave the valley tomorrow to open up the trade route. After the station in Jushi Town stabilizes, Odo will be busy recruiting and training soldiers to prepare for the expansion of the army, and I will give you the important task of clearing out bandits and stabilizing the county order."

"I only bring Ron, Felix and his entourage when I go out. On this side of the valley, Odo leaves the first squadron, Colin, and others to help recruit and train recruits. I have ordered the second and third squadrons to be temporarily handed over to you. Lusinian and the remaining cavalry of the sentry team will be handed over to you. All of these soldiers will be handed over to you to suppress the bandits. I hope that when I come back from going out, you can basically calm the bandits in Tignets."

Yat lowered his voice and said to Angus who was leaning over and approaching: "Master Sergeant, Redogan is a sharp blade we hide in the jungle of the Miguel. As long as his son is in our hands, we can control this blade. You once said that we need to do dirty work in the future. I think this blade is used to do dirty work for us."

"This time, you must make full use of the information provided by Redoan to fight against several large bandits in the county to wipe out several large bandits in one fell swoop. The old rules are to kill the bandit leader and the bandits, and take them back to the valley as slaves with slaughter and not killed. Let Redoan take over the team. However, you cannot let Redoan's power be too large, so that he can control the number of subordinates within fifty. If Redoan performs well, he will secretly take the relatives of his bandits to the valley after completing these few jobs. In addition, let Redoan find out the group of bastards that ran out of Ryan's manor and find an opportunity to destroy the fat pig in the name of suppressing bandits..."

"Okay, I've written it down and I'll arrange it."

At noon the next day, Yat led the injured Ron, Felix and one of his followers to set off from the Valley Wood Fort with the formally formed armed caravan.

After coming to the construction site of Beiguan Military Fort, Yat asked the caravan's empty carriage to pull up more than a dozen trucks of pre-prepared wood. These woods were transported to the Jushi Town garrison for them to build and strengthen the village walls. After the battle of Jushi Town, Yat paid more attention to the enclave of Jushi Town, so he planned to let the Jushi Town garrison build the simple camp into a solid wooden fortress, and the number of soldiers garrisoned was also expanded to a size close to a squadron.

At night, a group of carriages rushed to the headquarters of Jushi Town.

Odo and the soldiers of the second and third squadrons are still temporarily stationed for the patrol team soldiers here. The traumatized patrol team also needs to draw soldiers from the Mubao recruits and the Valley Guards to reorganize.

In the military tent in the camp, Odo and the patrol team captain Obote sat on a low stool and listened to Yat's orders.

"Odo, Angus will come to Jushi Town in two days to take over the second and third squadron. At that time, the war to suppress the bandits will be left to him. You will go back to the valley to concentrate on recruiting and training soldiers, and you will also be responsible for the reorganization of the Valley Guards. I will leave Colin to you as a deputy. If the staff is really not enough, you can borrow from Angus or Cooper. My trip is at a short time of twenty or thirty days, and it will take a long time of one or two months. After I return to the valley, I hope you have basically completed the reconstruction of the first squadron and the new construction of the fourth squadron. In addition, the patrol team and border outpost garrisons have also been expanded to about ten people..."

Yat emphasized to Odo about his recent military expansion goal.

After talking to Odo for a while, Yat glanced at Obote, who kept bowing his head and didn't dare to look directly at his patrol team captain Obote.

"Obote, look up."

Obote raised his head.

Yat comforted him: "You have been fined a month's military pay for the desertion of the patrol team this time, so there is no need to blame yourself too much for this."

"Sir, I am incompetent in my control. This kind of hybrid scum is actually found in my hand. It is worth being punished." Obote's head lowered again.

"Okay, you're like a woman. If you really blame yourself, build the Jishi Town and train your soldiers to strengthen. After this expansion, you have more soldiers under your command. How to make them stronger and brave is what an officer should consider."

As Yat said, he remembered something again and asked the two: "When the army is expanding this time, the number of patrol teams will increase. I plan to expand the patrol team to two twelve teams, and the two teams will take turns to station in Jushi Town and patrol Shangdao County. The first team is led by Obote himself, and the second team also needs a team leader. Do you have any good candidates?"

Obote thought for a while and replied: "Sir, Soldier Benson performed well in this perseverance battle. Although he was still recuperating after being injured, it should not affect the battle after he recovered. Can you consider letting him be the captain of the second team?"

Yat recalled the name and asked Odo, "Benson~ Was it the guy who was going to be a deserter at Fort Sap at that time?"

Odo nodded.

Yat thought about it for a while, stared into Obote's eyes, and asked, "Do you know this guy was planning to be a deserter?"

"I know sir. He once advised me to escape with him, but that was just Benson. Benson performed well in the battles of the East and subsequent battles. This time, the guards of Jushi Town killed two bandits."

"Would you be willing to protect this guy?"

"Use my head to protect him!" Obote said in a firm tone.

"Since you, the chief, is willing to protect him with the head, let Benson return to the team after he recovers from his injury and becomes the captain of the second team of the patrol team and enjoy the treatment of a war team leader."

"Thank you, sir."

"Okay, let's continue to talk about the reconstruction of the village wall. This time I specially brought a large amount of wood to transport it here..."
