I was beheaded in the Middle Ages for 20 years

Chapter 236 Ella: Lord, work for me

At this time, the heads of each team leader were extremely tested.

Many captains lead their soldiers back to prepare supplies, but there are also smart captains who don't do this.

For example, Anton, this old fox thinks more than many people.

He is the captain of the flag team, but in this mission, there is no difference between the captain and the squad leader.

If the team needs to cooperate, how will the left ear be allocated? This is a problem, so all teams default to not cooperating.

The same goes for Anton.

But he wasn't going to sit around today.

Half a month is not long or short, but the initial destination must be clear.

After much thought, Anton decided to go to Tamubao to investigate the situation.

But instead of starting tomorrow, we start today.

Of course supplies need to be prepared, but it doesn’t necessarily require ten people to prepare them together.

As soon as they were disbanded, Anton took the lead with three soldiers and rode quickly to Tamu Fort without wearing armor. He wanted to be the first to inquire about the situation of Tamu Fort.

Six people were left to prepare supplies and go to Tamubao to join him early tomorrow morning.

It can be said that there is a division of labor and cooperation. He takes the lead to inquire about information, while the other side collects supplies and makes full use of every day.

Anton's actions were seen by all the team captains. They were not stupid and were sensitive to each other.

But they were not as determined as Anton to make their choice. Several team captains got together to discuss where to go.

Because once everyone accidentally decides where to go and bumps into each other, it will be a headache.

"I want to go to Alston Town."

"You have a great idea. Who doesn't know that the security situation in Alston Town is the worst among the four places?"

"Why, you want to go too?"

"I'll think about it Luan, what do you think?"

Lu An looked at Terry, who was leisurely beside him, and muttered inwardly.

During the last battle of Dramisburg, Terry boasted about the battle plan so much that Luan really thought Terry was so smart.

"You guys talk first, I'll talk to Terry."

Terry saw Lu An approaching and raised his eyebrows: "What are you doing, asking for information? Gungun, take your people away."

"Who cares? Don't I care about you? I'm afraid that if we bump into each other, then we will fight and let others benefit. That would be bad. Terry, let me tell you, among so many people, I think most highly of you. you."

Terry's face was full of disbelief: "Why do you sound so Anton-like when you speak? You are so foxy."

"Don't worry, just tell me what your initial plan is, and I'll leave after asking."

"Me?" Terry rolled his eyes, "Of course I will stay in Raya Town."

"what?"

"Master Siling is right. Maybe there are robbers hiding in Raya Town? I'll stay and find out."

"Real or false." Lu An obviously didn't believe it.

"You have to believe me, how often have I lied to you!"

How many times have you lied to me?
Even if there were hidden bandits in Raya Town, they wouldn't be that many.

Seeing that Terry didn't want to tell the truth, Lu An didn't bother to talk to him, so he turned back to chat with the team leader.

Terry carefully checked that there were no outsiders around, and then arranged his soldiers.

"Leave three people to slowly prepare supplies, while the others go to Raya Town to inquire about the news."

The soldier looked surprised: "Oh my God, Terry, you're not kidding Luan. Do you really want to stay in Raya Town to look for robbers?"

"Do I look so stupid?" Terry slapped his forehead, "Laya Town has the most people running business regularly. When you go to the market, you mainly catch these people and ask them, there are many routes around them running business, which road has more robbers? , they know best!”

"I'll go, smart, Terry!"

"Of course, let this silly boy Lu An step on it slowly." Terry thought of something, "Also, ask those foreigners who have escaped recently, there may be surprises. But remember, be nice to others. Don’t show off your power just because you are a soldier of Master Xiu.”

"I know."

Terry made arrangements and the soldiers dispersed.

And it turns out that Terry is not stupid, but he is not very smart either.

He can think of things, why can't other team leaders think of them?
There are even some captains who don’t have any opinions and don’t know what to do, so they just copy the homework.

Many teams followed Anton's example, deciding on their destination and arranging a few people to prepare supplies, while the others left first to gather information.

In this regard, many executioner soldiers appeared in Raya Town at the same time.

This scene amazed the townspeople.

Xu Siling's executioner soldiers have been rumored to be strange in the outside world.

Some say the executioner soldiers are the devil's troops, while others say they are a symbol of miracles.

Anyway, I have everything.

The soldiers recruited by Xu Siling were first of all members of the executioner family. Then they basically trained in the camp every day and never had contact with outsiders. They also stayed in the manor to reunite with their families during their one-day leave per month and would not come to Raya. town.

Indirectly, many townspeople were very interested in what happened in the soldiers' camp, and wanted to know what the executioner soldiers were trained to be like by Xu Siling.

What kind of soldiers can defeat many with less, and defeat two cities in a row with such a small number of people?

The performance of the executioner soldiers was so good that it blinded the eyes of these people.

Isn't it surprising that all the executioner soldiers who had never had the opportunity to interact with him now appeared in Raya Town, asking around.

In particular, the executioner soldiers were dressed in a very unique way. They were wearing new clothes, a pointed hood, and the heraldic flag of the Siling family draped over their left shoulder. The wolf head at the front was extremely eye-catching.

A unique outfit in France.

Many residents of Raya Town purchased several sets of clothes from the manor for their children to wear.

This is the beauty of following the trend.

But no one can bear the flag like the executioner soldier.

"Hey brother, I heard you just came from Dramisburg two days ago?"

Not long after the businessman came to Raya Town, he saw the executioner soldier approaching with a smile. He didn't know what to say.

"I didn't expect adults to know so much about me."

"Hey, don't call me sir. Sir Siring once said that the militiamen are not divided into families. Although we are soldiers, we are more of the people and a part of everyone. If you want to call me that, if I accept it, other partners know not to scold me. Kill me."

Usually standing soldiers in the Middle Ages were somewhat arrogant towards ordinary people and looked down upon each other. It was rare to see such kind and friendly soldiers as executioners.

After a conversation, the businessman realized that the other party was really not here to extort money, so he couldn't help but let down his guard.

"I didn't meet any robbers on the way here, but I heard that someone was robbed on that path."

The soldier's eyes lit up: "Which path? What are its characteristics? What should you pay attention to when setting off from Raya Town?"

"Well, there is a small road starting from Alston Town to Dramisburg. That road is close to the top of the mountain. If you go to Alston Town and ask the locals, they will all know."

The soldier took out a piece of cloth, took a piece of fine charcoal, and began to write on his own.

"Alston goes to Dramisburg, the path near the top of the mountain"

The businessman couldn't help but be surprised when he took a look at it. How could a big-headed soldier be literate?
Many people in the Middle Ages had little contact with the executioner family, and knew even less about it.

It is not surprising that members of the executioner family are literate, but in the general social environment, it seems very strange.

Especially the one who is literate is still an ordinary soldier. "Brother, don't tell anyone else about this. It's a secret between us! I'll ask my son to come over when he's free to support your business."

After the soldier finished recording, he patted the businessman on the shoulder with a smile and left immediately, looking for the next 'victim'.

This situation is not unique.

Many executioner soldiers gathered information in the market of Raya Town.

Lu An even inquired at the refugee tents outside Raya Town.

Raya Town can no longer accommodate more people, but this does not prevent these fleeing foreigners from coming to Raya Town en masse.

When you get to the city gate, you find that you can't get in. Even if you want to pay a bribe, you can't get in.

These refugees fled all the way and felt that there was no better environment than Raya Town. Even if they did not enter the city, living on the edge of the city wall was still very good.

Anyway, Miss Raya will not drive them away, and will even arrange some odd jobs or food for them every once in a while.

These fleeing people are unable to work for Raya Town, and their income from work has become a problem.

But fortunately, the construction of Xu Siling's manor requires a large number of manpower, and many of these refugees are odd jobs in the construction of the manor.

After being in and out of the manor a lot, I naturally heard about Lu An, the captain of the three major flag squads of Xu Siling's army.

Seeing Lu An coming, the refugees stood up to welcome him.

Luan rubbed the back of his head. He was still young and needed time to adapt to this way of being greeted and treated.

But that didn't stop him from enjoying it.

After getting some information, I saw that the refugees were having some difficulties, so I gave some of my money to these people.

If Anton were here, he wouldn't be able to stop him, but he would definitely give him a lesson.

It is better to teach someone to fish than to teach him to fish.

This principle makes sense everywhere.

No matter how much charity you give them, it can't change their environment. It's important to find a way for them to move into Raya Town or find a stable job.

The executioner soldiers had never had contact with outsiders before.

The contact now begins, which is beyond the imagination of these townspeople.

It turns out that executioner soldiers are so easy to talk to, especially executioner soldiers who can subconsciously convey their thoughts.

This is the same as what Xu Siling had discussed with Fei'er before.

"The army is not only a fighting organization, it also has propaganda and political functions. I want every one of my soldiers to have the responsibility of propaganda to the people."

Soldiers and civilians are not separated from each other.

How to make executioner soldiers develop self-worth and firmly believe in their beliefs without any wavering?

Nothing is more direct than the people trusting them.

Victory is of course the best.

But it's direct enough but not prominent enough.

As long as the executioner soldiers come into contact with the people, the soldiers' belief in victory will be spread, and the people will believe in them. Coupled with getting along well, a conscientious communication environment will be achieved.

The executioner soldier's self-worth will be satisfied.

This is a good cycle.

After Xu Siling finished arranging work, he finally had time to return to Ella and spend some time with his lovely and busy wife.

After training every day, as long as he had some time, he would go to Blanche's side to accompany the pregnant princess.

The main house was demolished and the inner castle was under construction. Ella moved to the house built not long ago by the Frofen family.

Xu Siling closed her eyes and accepted the gentle massage from Ella's little hands.

Falina still wisely left space for the two of them and did not disturb them in the house.

Ella's gray eyes were unmoved and she spoke the report calmly.

"The MSG business has started to spread all over the kingdom, and the income is very high."

"Although the income from lending is not high and the return period is long, the advantage is that it is very stable."

"The manor collected taxes from some merchants, and the initial profits were good. However, after the manor was rebuilt, there were a lot fewer people coming."

"And husband, you have one thing to think about."

"You told me about the plan for the subsequent expansion of the army, not to mention the manpower issue. The source of income for our manor is very single. We cannot set various taxes for people like the nobles. And the taxes set for the major families are also based on the previous The idea is the basis for optimization.”

"When the manor castle is completed, it will be extended to the bottom of the mountain and connected with another city gate in Raya Town."

Raya Town has always had two gates.

Because of the Black Death, in the prevention and control plan, the city gate has never been opened until now.

Fei'er thought that a city gate would be easier to control, and she had no idea of ​​opening it.

As soon as the manor castle construction plan came out, both Xu Siling and Feier knew that the manor castle would be integrated with Raya Town, and the two would be integrated by then.

Chrissy's construction plan is that after the initial goal of building the inner castle is reached, it will begin to extend downward and connect with the second city gate of Raya Town. On the one hand, it can expand the area of ​​the manor castle, and on the other hand, it can completely Open up the route between the two sides.

Whether shopping or playing, it is much more convenient.

But this also faces another problem.

"Although the manor is divided into separate areas for self-management."

"Then after we connect with Raya Town, how will the merchants doing business here collect taxes?"

"If a businessman who has paid Raya town tax goes to the manor to do business, can he not collect it? The opposite is also the case."

"We can't let Miss Raya take the initiative to allocate part of the tax revenue to the estate."

"This is just a separate issue. There are other issues that will be exposed after the marriage is merged and the husband needs to consider."

"Our source of income is still too single. I calculated that to maintain the current army of 150 people, relying solely on MSG, loans, and simple family tax income to support them will make more mistakes."

"But my husband has the idea to expand the army, for example to 500 people."

"The way my husband treats soldiers, we may not be able to support him, or even maintain him."

Xu Siling closed his resting eyes and opened them. He pulled Ella, who was rubbing his shoulders, into his arms.

Feeling the tenderness of the petite body, he smiled.

"You've grown taller again."

Ella's gray eyes are like calm lake water: "If you eat regularly, you will grow taller. I'm not Miss Raya, so how could I never grow taller?"

Xu Siling chuckled: "My good wife, what suggestions do you have?"

"If my husband and Miss Raya don't have preliminary ideas about this, my suggestion is"

Ella's facial features are extremely delicate, her face is delicate and smooth, and her tone is light.

"The manor can be integrated with Raya Town. The taxes of the manor will be paid to Raya Town, but the management rights of the manor's self-order must be retained."

"Then my husband asks Miss Raya for a territory. It doesn't matter whether it's Tamubao or Alston Town."

"We don't have to move there. I believe Miss Raya doesn't want her husband to move away from Raya Town. Otherwise, the original intention of expanding the manor to connect with Raya Town will be changed."

"Even if Miss Raya is willing, we don't have to participate in the management, but we need all the income from that territory."

Xu Siling couldn't help but raise her eyebrows after hearing this: "What you mean is equivalent to asking Fei'er to work for us." (End of Chapter)
