Did you hear that? Tang established something here...what is it called?
"The name of the company sounds weird, but it's not important. What's important is that this company recruits pirates... what are pirates like?"
"Pirate intern, come on, stop talking nonsense. After Tang has recruited enough interns today, he will leave with them!"
The youth of the Vikings is of course not limited to the thousand who joined Tang Ping. Now those thousand are already heroes in the eyes of all the Vikings.
They only went out for more than a month and earned back the supplies they had in the past few years. The food and warm clothes they stored can last two or three years. Everyone will spend this winter very comfortably.
So Elder Leif said that Tang Ping would set up a pirate company here among the Vikings and now recruit young people from the clan as pirate interns. Almost all the young people came.
"Name??"
"Skurazon."
"age??"
"Ten...seventeen!"
Tang Ping raised his head and looked at Skurazon in front of him, and asked with some suspicion: "Are you seventeen years old?"
"Yes!" Skurasson puffed up his chest: "I was only seventeen just now!"
Tang Ping scratched his head. Everyone here looked old, but Skurazon looked a little too young. Tang Ping estimated that he could be about thirteen years old, which was still short of his own requirement of sixteen. A lot.
"Tang, he is really seventeen years old, let him join!" A woman next to him said with a blush.
"Don..." Karldottir whispered in Tang Ping's ear: "Scurasson's father died long ago. The person who just spoke was his mother. He also had three younger brothers and sisters..."
"Okay!" Tang Ping nodded. Anyway, they are now recruiting trainee pirates. It will still be a long time before they can be sent out to sea. At most, let this kid train more on the island.
"Here, this is your certificate for joining Viking Development Co., Ltd. After joining the company, you must first memorize the company's system. Do you understand? Someone will teach you when you join the company the day after tomorrow."
"Can I join??" Skurasson came with the mentality of giving it a try, but he didn't expect that he actually passed.
“So can I get my salary every month??”
"Yes, you can get internship salary every month!"
This should be the reason why Skurasson is eager to join.
In two days, the "Viking Development Co., Ltd." established by Tang Ping here recruited another 600 trainee pirates.
Tang Ping was appointed as the first CEO, and all members of the elder board joined the board of directors.
Karldottir became the head of the personnel department, and all trainee pirates were handed over to her.
Eriksson became the chief of the war department, responsible for arranging the official battles after the pirates went to sea.
During the past month of plundering outside, Datang Ping and the others also kept records of whose contributions were made. Some of those who had made great contributions were promoted to pirate cadres, while others were promoted to senior pirates.
There is a gap in monthly salary between pirates at all levels, which also creates a sense of competition among them.
All Vikings own shares in the company, and at the end of the year, the remaining materials for the year will be distributed to everyone after salaries at all levels are paid.
The originally loose tribal structure of the Vikings became tighter because of this pirate company. Tang Ping took all the official pirates back to Waitanhop Island, and the residents of the island built a temporary camp for them on the island next to them in advance.
Although it is a bit crude, it is no problem to live there.
Lao Cui and the others then began to train these Viking pirates. The battle in the previous month also exposed many problems of this team, which could be corrected this time.
Just like that, midsummer in Northern Europe arrived, and Tang Ping and the others finally completed all the training for the Vikings.
"Uncle Alaric, are you ready? We are going... to Wessex!" Tang Ping asked, looking in the direction of England.
"Yeah!" Alaric made up his mind from the very beginning, which meant he said goodbye to the peaceful life in the past.
But he has no regrets. Although his life in the past was peaceful, anyone could bully them. He just wanted to lead the residents of the dock to survive and live a better life, but he would be attracted by a wine-making recipe. A fatal disaster.
So he felt that he should build a perfect country from scratch, just like Tang Ping said in the Tang Dynasty, where everyone could have food to eat, clothes to wear, and a house to live in.
The young have something to rely on, and the old have something to support!
"Okay, then let's... set off!" Tang Ping shouted, and the colorfully painted sailboat sailed out of the Waiteanhope Islands and headed north.
Tang Ping found that these Vikings especially liked to draw various totems and other things, so they found some dyes when they had nothing to do after training and let them freely play on those sailboats.
Nowadays, except for the skeleton sails, the hulls of these sailboats are painted like graffiti walls.
There are Thor's hammers, horned helmets or various weapons and armors that they imagined.
There are also animal patterns such as snow wolves, brown bears or foxes.
The most ridiculous thing is that there are pictures of beggar's chicken, barbecue and other delicacies on it.
The childish drawings on the ship contrast sharply with the skulls on the skull sails.
In Wessex, due to the harassment by northern pirates some time ago, Woolf mobilized all the troops he could mobilize to the north.
The southern lords also strengthened some defenses, but no pirates have appeared again in recent months, so they all thought those pirates had gone elsewhere.
They never expected that the first business of Tang Ping and the others, who established Viking Development Co., Ltd., would be carried out here.
After nightfall, Tang Ping quietly led his people to the southern coast of Wessex.
They did not choose to land from the pier or other places, but chose an uninhabited beach and used small boats to bring everyone ashore bit by bit.
In the past six months, Wessex has captured almost all of Essex, Kent and Sussex.
In other words, almost all of southern England has been conquered by Wessex, and they even moved their capital to London.
The place where Tang Ping and the others are now landing is Eastbourne.
London is about ninety kilometers north of Eastbourne.
This time Tang Ping and the others will enter London directly. As long as they capture the current Egbert royal family, they can control this place as quickly as possible!
Now they were all disguised as caravans from Visigoth, and they went to London to sell Tang Dynasty luxury goods. For this reason, Tang Ping brought the last of his inventory with him.
