I was beheaded in the Middle Ages for 20 years

But the executioner family's shortcomings in combat capabilities have never been Xu Siling's first priority.

He likes the soldiers of the Frofen family very much, not only because of their loyalty, but also because their cultural quality is much higher than others, and they are smart.

Many times the orders he issued were imperfect, but the soldiers of the Frofen family would use their brains to consider Xu Siling's ideas to improve the execution of the orders and make everything better.

This is a benefit that ordinary soldiers cannot bring.

Due to their background, most of the executioner's family is literate, and this alone is not easy.

Moreover, people in the executioner family have very smart minds, and there are very few fools.

And high cultural literacy indirectly brings a greater benefit.

That's the level of training they can accept, and it will be easier than other soldiers.

Because they are more receptive to Xu Siling's knowledge and training input, it is easy to transform them into Xu Siling's shape.

It costs a lot of money to raise a standing army, but if you use the executioner family as a standing army, the cost will be very small.

Xu Siling was moved, and I believe that the other executioner families will be moved as well, and there are many benefits to being affiliated with him.

Moreover, free-range breeding can produce miracles. People from the Executioner family are the same as opening blind boxes.

It is also a blind box with a particularly high explosion rate.

Xu Siling and his party returned to the hillside manor in Raya Town.

After these days of construction, Xu Siling's hillside manor is becoming more and more presentable.

The fence has been erected, and it looks like it was done with great care.

Construction of the houses inside began, but the main work force was taken to the battlefield by Xu Siling, so the process was slowed down a lot.

The Frofen family still lives in tents, and no one has any complaints about giving Xu Siling priority in building a yard.

Because of Xu Siling's relationship, the lives of these executioner family members are much better than outside.

Even after many witches in Raya Town moved to the manor, they joined in the construction of Xu Siling's yard.

These witches were used to being carefree in the mountains and forests, but they were a little uncomfortable moving down and reentering group social life.

Especially seeing that the people in the Frofen family are so busy, they are too embarrassed to be idle, and they all want to contribute.

Xu Siling brought the troops back with no casualties, and the battle of Tamubao was still a complete victory. The manor was full of cheers and excitement that day.

Falina welcomed Xu Siling back from the yard with a shy expression.

Originally, after she was sent back by Xu Siling, Farina wanted to move out of the yard and live with Aunt Jocasta.

But Jocasta let Farina live in the courtyard under pressure.

Now the owner of the manor, Xu Siling, and the hostess, Ella, are not at home. Falina's identity is inherently ambiguous, and there are various scandals and speculations about her and Xu Siling.

Jocasta kept asking Farina to confirm their suspicions.

Anyway, Xu Siling did not object to Farina being admitted as a resident by Ella herself, and no one in the Fulofen family dared to object.

Therefore, the fact that Falina is Xu Siling's lover is more confirmed. However, the people of the Fulofen family really dare to be angry but dare not speak out now, especially they dare not underestimate Falina in their hearts.

The three of Xu Siling returned to the main house. The main house was cleaned very clean and Falina took good care of it.

"Mr. Siling!"

After welcoming Xu Siling and Ella in, Farina quickly moved a large box from somewhere in the main house. The box was so heavy that Farina blushed while carrying the box.

"What's wrong."

"Open it quickly and take a look."

The box was placed on the table and Xu Siling opened it. Unexpectedly, the box contained shining gold coins. The number was so large that it almost blinded Xu Siling.

Ella couldn't help but be stunned when she saw these gold coins.

At the current price, a soldier comes as standard with a sword, shield, spear, lining, sleeved robes and chainmail, blouse, and helmet.

All of them cost about 40 to 55 gold coins.

Like the soldiers of the Frofen family, most of their armors were made from here and there. A few pieces of chain mail were sent by Mayfair, and most of them were sleeveless short robes and chain mail.

The long sword is not too expensive and is affordable, and the helmet is hard to say enough.

Therefore, the total value of the armor of the Frofen soldiers does not exceed 20 gold coins.

This box is now filled with so many gold coins that it makes Xu Siling's eyes hurt from the shaking.

"Where did you get so much money?"

"Mr. Siling, have you forgotten? This is what we earned!"

"What did we earn?" Xu Siling thought of something, "MSG?"

"Yes." Falina's mint green eyes were full of happiness, "During the time I came back, many outsiders came to Raya Town. They were all followers sent by nobles from other places. They brought money and wanted to buy our MSG. Yeah. The price they quoted was so high, 15 gold coins for a can of MSG. Falina didn’t dare to bargain because the price was too scary, so I agreed to them.”

Xu Siling couldn't help laughing: "It's my fault that I forgot to tell you about this. Miss Raya's external quotation was 20 gold coins for a can of MSG, but you sold it for 15 gold coins."

"Ah?" Falina was stunned, "The MSG I made is worth 20 gold coins?"

"No, I'll have to trouble you these days to speed up the production. Miss Raya also needs these MSG to offset the taxes of Raya Town."

Farina couldn't help but swallow her saliva, and then felt a little regretful: "I'm sorry, Mr. Siling, I didn't expect the price of MSG to be so high. I heard they quoted 15 gold coins, and Farina didn't even dare to counter-offer."

"It's okay, let's sell it for 15 gold coins."

Ella came to the box, held one of the gold coins in her hands, and said with a calm expression: "What is the difference between this MSG and pineapple."

"Our MSG is much more useful than pineapples. Pineapples are only used to look good, but a can of our MSG can improve the taste of their food for many days. When they become addicted to it, they will go back to eating food without MSG. Haha. .”

Xu Siling showed a profiteer's smile, and Ella thought of something: "You said you want to use MSG to deduct taxes from Miss Laya? Doesn't that mean that the market for MSG will be pushed to Paris."

"Ella is still smart, she thought of it so quickly."

"I have always been worried that my husband has no money. It seems that I am worrying too much."

Farina patted the box and said with a smile: "Mr. Siling, there are 415 gold coins in this box. Farina counts them every day!"

Only then did Xu Siling notice that Falina's eyes looked tired, and she obviously hadn't had a good rest.

"Didn't you have a rest at night?"

Falina was embarrassed: "Mr. Siling had taken the previous MSG to Tamubao. I didn't have any stock, so I had to rush to make it. Fortunately, because of Mr. Siling, I went to Raya Town to purchase raw materials. No one made it difficult for me, so I made it very quickly.”

"Thanks a lot."

"It's all to help Mr. Siling make money."

What did Ella think of: "Then when you bought the raw materials, did you deliberately buy other things to cover it up?"

Falina was stunned for a moment, blinked, and after thinking about it, she suppressed her blush and stumbled.

"I, I" Xu Siling waved her hand: "I didn't remind Farina about this. At that time, I didn't want Farina to do the purchasing of raw materials in person."

Ella answered: "Then it's up to me. I also place the order for the daily material purchase at home. I go and buy it myself. Even if they want to pay attention to what I purchase, they can't think of it as having anything to do with MSG."

"Yeah." Xu Siling was of course relieved about Ella's work, but Valina couldn't help but laugh and comfort her with a guilty expression: "Don't think too much, just go out and buy a few times. They may not be able to think of the key point. You Just feel at ease.”

Falina lowered her head and responded, obviously feeling that she was not careful in what she did.

Since MSG can make so much money, a bunch of people must be watching her.

"It's all my fault. Auntie reminded me, but I was too busy and didn't listen, and I didn't dare to tell her about it."

"I told you not to tell Jocasta. I won't blame you, let alone your aunt. Just relax."

Xu Siling only belatedly realized at this time that Farina seemed to have really become a member of the family at some point, especially Ella who showed no resistance to Farina.

"Ella."

Ella raised her gray eyes and looked at Xu Siling: "What's wrong, husband?"

"I think your suggestion on the road is okay. What do you think I should do best?"

“Let Falina’s friends go out and promote it.”

Xu Siling raised her eyebrows: "Is it appropriate for you to let them go out to promote? After all, they are"

"Sometimes their identity makes it easier to deal with the executioner family." Ella slowly explained, "Her husband is an executioner, and the Frofen family affiliated with you is also an executioner family. The several executioner families around you will not be unaware, as long as you Arrange someone to wave to them, and they will definitely arrange for someone to come to Raya Town to make contact."

Xu Siling nodded in understanding and thought.

Seeing this, Farina couldn't help but curiously asked: "Mr. Siling, are you planning to arrange something for Farina?"

Xu Siling then told Farina about the idea of ​​several executioner families in Dona, and Farina agreed without hesitation.

"Then leave it to Farina. I'll ask Aunt Jocasta to help. She knows a lot of people, so she will definitely be able to help Mr. Siling!"

"Then you tell Jocasta first. If there is no problem, let her do it. Let them and Ella pay for the expenses on the road."

"no problem."

With that said, Falina pushed the box containing gold coins and motioned to Ella.

"Ella, I will leave this money to you."

Unexpectedly, Ella shook her head and refused: "You can keep it yourself."

"Eh? Is it appropriate to leave this much money to me for safekeeping?"

"This is your and my husband's business. I may help my husband take inventory every week, but I will not be involved in your business."

Ella's words were flat and there was no emotion in them. Farina's mint green eyes looked at her deeply for a few times before taking the box back with a smile.

"Since Ella said so, I will keep the money for Mr. Siling."

Ella nodded, then glanced at Xu Siling with her gray eyes, then turned and left the main room without saying anything, as if she deliberately left space for Xu Siling and Farina.

After there were only two people left in the main room, the atmosphere suddenly became a little ambiguous.

Seeing that there was no one around, Falina immediately jumped up to Xu Siling and stretched out her head. Her intention was obvious.

Seeing this, Xu Siling smiled and put her hand on Farina's head, stroking it gently.

"Thank you for your hard work. The demand for MSG is quite high. You have to work very hard these days."

"Farina is not tired. As long as she can help Mr. Siling, Farina can bear no matter how tired she is."

Falina thought of something and said cautiously: "Ella is so smart, will she guess that Mr. Siling and I have already..."

Xu Siling couldn't help but put away her expression and sighed: "Probably, with her temperament, she wouldn't say anything even if she saw it."

"Don't worry, Mr. Siling. Farina will not make Ella unhappy, nor will she make things difficult for Mr. Siling."

After the two warmed up for a while, Farina left the main house and went to Jocasta to arrange the things the two people mentioned before.

Since recruiting other executioner families is a top priority, execution must be accelerated.

Xu Siling was the only one left in the main room. He was not idle either. He didn't even take off his armor. He found a seat and sat down. He took out a pen and started writing and drawing something on the paper.

Sometimes I draw some patterns about the armor, and sometimes I write about the training key and ideological indoctrination of the follow-up troops.

When it comes time to form a standing army, training will be essential.

The men of the executioner family were not like other men in the Middle Ages, who had basic fighting abilities just by holding a sword.

Most of them are rookies with weak fighting ability.

Xu Siling had many methods for combat training, but ideological indoctrination was the only one Xu Siling had to seriously consider.

What kind of army do you want?

Like other knight armies in the Middle Ages, they mainly focused on the idea of ​​​​plundering, only pursuing strength, and not caring about much else.

Or what?

In fact, Xu Siling has a subconscious tendency towards the training of his troops.

He has seen many armies, and the soldiers of each country are different.

But he still prefers the army of his former country.

The military ideology of not disturbing the people and focusing on protecting the people.

Xu Siling did not dare to admit whether this kind of military thinking was suitable for the current Middle Ages.

But he really didn't like the troops he brought. Like other soldiers, the purpose of fighting in his eyes was only to plunder.

Your own troops should have faith and professional qualities.

A true professional soldier shouldn't be like this.

Then Xu Siling had to think about it.

After the Battle of Tamubao, there is a high probability that no other war will affect them in the next few years. The war between Britain and France will not continue until the end of the Black Death in the later period.

Xu Siling had a hunch that the war between Britain and France, which had just ceased to exist, might not last long.

History has begun to change since he stood up to help Mayfair.

With Mayfair's status, it is inevitable to participate in the war. If she is recognized by the Holy Church as a saint, she will definitely stand up and openly support the legitimacy of Philip VI and join the crusade against England.

It is inevitable that the soldiers he leads will participate in the war.

Considering the advantage of the English longbow on the battlefield, Xu Siling had to consider this issue.

This problem also needs to be solved, but how?

Xu Siling decided to start with armor. He had a mature idea in mind. (End of Chapter)
