It is not far from the fortress of Count Schwartz to the town of Movenna on the border, and it is only a few dozen kilometers. Although Schwartz is a county, it is a relatively small country among the German states. However, Rudolf led this army to stop and stop and camp after walking less than two kilometers.

"Sir Rudolph, when will we get to the town of Movenna if we continue like this?"

Sergeant Taylor looked worriedly at Rudolph leaning against a big tree and yawning.

"What's the hurry? The old Count didn't say when he would arrive in Movenna."

Rudolph leaned comfortably under the tree to rest, and the soldiers he brought were busy building a fire. Although these five soldiers were old, weak, sick and disabled, they were very comfortable in working chores.

"I'm so lazy and waiting for us to arrive at Movenna Town, I'm afraid that it's already occupied by rebels."

Sergeant Taylor sighed, looking at the lazy leader he was a little worried.

In fact, Rudolph is not lazy. He is now using a procrastination technique to wait for change. After all, with their current strength, even if they go to Movenna Town, it will not work.

Liu Bang: So you just drag it out slowly. This was the way I defeated Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu.

Li Qing: But boss, it’s not a solution to drag it like this? We will come one day.

Liu Bang: Cough cough, this kind of thing can only depend on destiny.

Li Shimin: Okay, Lao Liu, don’t fool him.

Zhao Kuangyin: If that doesn't work, I will remotely control the bandit leader with a Panlong stick to kill him, so that the mobs will scatter.

After watching the chat of the historical boss group, Rudolph sighed. It seemed that even if these historical bosses were in such a shortage of resources, there was no good idea.

"Crack."

Just as the team led by Rudolph was resting by the forest trail, a sound of wheels crushing the ground came. Rudolph and Taylor looked over curiously, and soon several carriages appeared from the corner of the forest trail.

"Well?"

A man wearing a pancake-shaped headscarf and dressed like a merchant also saw Rudolph and others. He began to be slightly surprised. It was not a good thing to suddenly see a group of armed teams in the forest. However, when he saw the flags planted in the place where the team was camping, he felt a little relieved. This flag represents the army of the local Earl Schwartz.

But even so, he did not dare to relax his vigilance, because the nobles sometimes did illegal activities in a place where they could not be, and they were usually even more fierce. Thinking of this, the merchant glanced at the ten armed mercenaries riding horses following behind him.

"What?"

When the merchants appeared, Sergeant Taylor did not relax because of this. He immediately placed his hand on the hilt of the sword. In this chaotic era, who knew whether this merchant's army was pretended to be a rebel.

"Oh, don't get me wrong, we're just businessmen."

The merchant wearing a pancake turban hurriedly asked the team to stop, then jumped out of the carriage, took off his hat and said to Rudolph and others.

"Businessman? Why are businessmen coming from the border?"

Sergeant Taylor frowned, he did not put his hand off the hilt of the sword, and asked the merchant in front of him.

"A few masters, we actually wanted to travel through Schwarz to the Principality of Lombardy, and then through the Principality of Lombardy to Pavia, the Kingdom of Italy, but..."

The merchant said worriedly that there was a rebellion in Schwarz County and the border was in chaos. The merchants were afraid that they would be robbed, so they hurried back. Now they could only go from Bern next to Schwarz to Gresen in the Principal of Lombardy, and then arrive from Gresen to Lombardy, and from Lombardy to Pavia.

"Then you guys are really unlucky."

Rudolph patted the hay on his body. He knew that the trade routes of this era were only fast and labor-saving in the sea, and it was difficult for these ancient merchants to do so.

"Who is this master?"

The merchant looked at Rudolph in front of him. He was very sensitive to Rudolph's identity and status above Taylor, so he asked respectfully.

"This is the eldest son of Count Schwartz, Lord Rudolph."

Sergeant Taylor said to the merchant.

"Oh, it turns out to be the heir to Lord Earl."

The merchants became even more respectful when they heard this. They didn't expect to meet the count's heir here. However, the merchants were also a little suspicious because the soldiers of this Rudolph were too few, and they were all old, weak, sick and disabled. Could it be a fake?

"So you are going to sell goods to Italy in the south?"

Rudolph was full of curiosity for these ancient merchants, and he smiled and said to the merchants.

"Yes, we bring the fur from the north to Italy in the south, and then buy some goods from Italy and sell them to the north."

When the merchants saw Rudolph being very approachable and had a good impression of him. The nobles were usually very arrogant. They regarded their bloodline and honor above everything else, while the merchants seemed to flatter everyone who bought goods and seemed very lowly.

"It seems that this is a double-line trade route. You should have made a lot of money, right?"

Rudolph stepped forward and patted the merchant on the shoulder and said to him.

"Oh, the master knows how to do business, too?"

The merchant was flattered. He didn't expect that Rudolph actually said it very much like trade.

"Hey, I've studied economics at least."

Rudolph felt quite proud, but when he saw the merchant, he became frown.

"Master, I'm going to tell you, we may have to lose money this time."

The businessman sighed and scratched the back of his head.

"Oh, why?"

Rudolph asked curiously.

"We went through the territory of six counts and one duke along the way. The checkpoint tax paid was just enough to make a little profit, but now there is a rebellion on the Schwartz border, and we have to take a detour. In this way, we may lose money just by paying the border checkpoint tax."

The merchant took out a large stack of parchment papers, which were covered with several red wax stamps, and lion emblems with gold-headed crowns. It belonged to the lowlands of the Netherlands, the county of Cologne with a key, and the egrets of the Principal of Lorraine. In short, there are many kinds of things on it, but in short, it is to pay taxes.

Your friend Ying Zheng is online.

Ying Zheng: It’s a bit too big, it’s too troublesome to pay so much pass-through taxes, so it’s all the same!

Li Qing: Laughing and crying, the place where the First Emperor is the national situation.

However, when it comes to passing taxes, Rudolph suddenly smiled mysteriously. He stepped forward and hugged the merchant, which scared both the merchant and Taylor.

"May I have your name?"

Rudolph asked the merchant with a smile.

"Master, my name is Miloni, and I am a traveler from the Genoa Chamber of Commerce."

Merchant Miloni said to Rudolph.

"I have a way to make you rich. Would you like to give me a reward? Of course, it is definitely much less than paying taxes."

Rudolph's mouth raised slightly, and he said with his arms around the black-haired Italian businessman Miloni.

"Yes, what's the solution?"

Looking at Rudolf, who looked even more treacherous than his businessman, Miloni had an illusion in an instant. Could this so-called heir of the count be fake, a pretended by a colleague?

Your friend Liu Bang is online.

Liu Bang: Hahaha, I like the boy who has a personality.

Zhao Kuangyin: Isn’t this good?

Liu Bang: What's wrong with it? People just make more money. You used to make money in a yellow robe back then.

Zhao Kuangyin: Oh, this is not my original intention!

Liu Bang: Come on, they are all professional young men who come to Li Ge Lang.

Li Qing: Cough, I just make some money, how can I fight if I don’t have money?

Li Shimin: Laugh, it’s okay, I use extraordinary means at all times, and I admire you very much, a boy.

Ying Zheng: It's so troublesome. Just kill these merchants, and you can just sell them.

Li Qing: Embarrassing, embarrassing, can this big guy do it?

Ying Zheng: Ah? Uh, this person is not good at Longyang.

Li Shimin: Haha, don’t pay attention to Boss Ying when it’s okay, he has no good feelings for businessmen.

Li Qing: Okay, guys, I will do it like that, no problem.

After Rudolph complained to the big guys, he continued to implement his plan.

"The Rudolph team, everyone stood up and the rest was over."

Sergeant Taylor gave orders to the soldiers helplessly. The soldiers quickly packed up all the things, and Count Schwartz's flag was pulled up from the ground and raised it high.

"Hey, since my father is unwilling to pay, I can only make money with your name, don't blame me."
