C2327 Mercenary!

Since ancient times, Europe has rarely had the Chinese sense of nativism, because for thousands of years its economy has relied on commerce rather than agriculture, which is nothing more than parallel to business than absolute.

Business requires mobility, and agriculture needs population locking. These are two different economic models. If two systems work at the same time, then naturally two different cultural circles will be created in society.

Before the discovery of geography, European commerce was developed but limited to coastal areas. The landlocked economies focused more on agriculture, so the feudal system was very stable. The feudal lords and dependent farmers formed the most basic social units.

One by one, overseas ports full of wealth and myths were discovered by the explorer. The colonies that were filled with opportunities waved to the destitute farmers, and a large number of people began to leave their hometown and head towards the deep blue sky.

The benefits of the two-track economy were seen at this point. Since the agricultural economy was not so dominant, there was no cultural system like that of the Chinese Confucianists, which was rooted in the soil. In other words, there was no single idea that prevented Europeans from leaving their hometowns.

Especially filial piety, in Europe does not exist, children to parents paid attention to love and not filial piety, love this kind of thing can not be quantified, and filial piety is the specific rules of energy ah!

Just by saying how many young people's feet China's parents had tied to their legs while they were away, this was one of the main reasons why China was unable to open up the The Age of Great Navigation and expand its colony.

China had a large population, but it was simply impossible to mobilize them. The human resources that the colonies needed to develop were completely caved in on the mainland, and the small amount of people living on the coast was nothing more than a drop in the bucket.

Europeans did not speak of filial piety. They would never have a great burden in their hearts if they left their parents behind and never saw them again. Most importantly, no one would condemn him for doing so.

Therefore, those youngsters at the bottom of the ladder who pursued a better life and urgently wanted to change their fates would throw themselves at the distant colonies without hesitation.

It is because so many young people are leaving their homes and so much European capital is going to be invested in more rewarding colonial causes that the local agricultural economy is shrinking.

Not only could they not get the support of capital, even their basic manpower was beginning to be insufficient. It was in this context that Governments began the black slave trade.

Using inexpensive slaves and slaves from other places to fill the black holes in the loss of the country's agricultural population.

This was an era that had lasted for hundreds of years. Capital chose a new direction, the king pointed his sharp sword at a new land, and even the Church loosened their supervision over Europe and started preaching to the new land.

Chaos, chaos, endless chaos! It is in the economy, politics, culture, military, religion... The era of the major change was the most crazy mercenary era in the history of Europe.

In this chaotic world, there was naturally food for those who relied on the sword. Young people who did not have knowledge, skills, or martial arts could only survive and could only sell their martial arts.

When the pirate industry was flourishing, they took in many of these youths. However, as the The Age of Great Navigation entered its final phase, it was no longer a good occupation to be a pirate. These people naturally became many Mercenaries s.

They were no ordinary bandits. Their fates were also very tragic. Some of them were desperate pirates who had gotten rid of their fate of being hanged and were forced to go ashore to beg for food.

Some of the descendants of the black slaves had no right to choose their own lives. They had been trained by the slave masters to guard the homes since childhood.

There were also veterans who had retired from the military, and since they did not have the skills, they could only rely on their military prowess in exchange for food and food.

There were even some who were the victims of the king's campaign. When the war began, the king began to expand his army, and many young people entered the military camp in order to have a meal.

Eight years later, the war was over, the king and the king were at peace, and the only thing these soldiers could do was lay off their men, but ten years of youth was wasted, and they could do nothing.

Due to the special composition of mercenaries, they are different from common criminals, scoundrels and hooligans. In the underground world of every city, as long as you have money, you can hire assassins, bodyguards and outlaws.

Why? This was because these people were different from mercenaries. Every mercenary, even if they were bandits before, or even soldiers before, they had all been trained by this disciplined organization.

They had once felt a sense of belonging and pride. They knew how to discipline and sacrifice themselves, but because of the great changes in society and the tricks of fate, they had fallen to the point of risking their lives.

And many of the outlaws, killers, city rascals... Those people were mostly from the young bullies. In their values, they didn't have any pride or rules, but they were mostly just smart people that were full of the taste of the market.

No matter how much money you give them, perhaps they will betray you if they have only a penny more than you, so deep down they are just a bunch of selfish rogues.

Facing different groups of people, he would have to choose different ways of dealing with them. This was a principle that Xiao Letian had continuously explained to his subordinates.

Looking at the mercenaries in front of him, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration. He felt that he could test out the leader's experience, but he didn't expect his question to cause a ruckus among the mercenaries.

The black man from North Africa with the kobold was stunned, then she shook her head dejectedly. "Sir, please don't joke around, there is no such rule in the Mercenary Market, we have already taken the money and raised the price temporarily, we will not do that …"

"If you suspect that we will retreat at a critical moment... "That would be insulting to our professional qualities. If you don't believe us, we can give you back the money and leave right now …"

"No, no, no!" Pierre quickly waved his hand. "You misunderstand me, I do not doubt your professionalism. We do have such a policy in Asia!"

"Haha, what a lie!" A tall and skinny young man was holding a Spencer in his hand, constantly wiping it off with a piece of cotton cloth, "The Mercenary Market has the rules of the Mercenary Market, I've been out on 20 missions already, I've never seen an employer take the initiative to increase the money!"

"Not to mention taking care of our family, who would cause such a huge trouble for themselves? Not to mention education, I've never even dreamed of having a descendant of my own … "Hahaha!"

A low sneer came from inside the warehouse, filled with the helplessness of these hardworking people. Pierre could understand that it was a ridicule from someone who had already despaired of their fate.
