Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 280: Appointed an official and made a wish
"Shay Cormac, the former Grand Knight of the Imperial Knights in the Desert Kingdom. His former military rank was lieutenant. Am I right?" Purficott asked as he looked at the slightly desolate knight in front of him.

Shay didn't dare to neglect. While standing upright in a military posture, he didn't dare to squint his eyes, let alone stare at Perfectcott.

Upon hearing Purficott's question, he quickly stood up to attention, leaned on his heels and made a crisp sound, and replied: "Yes, Your Majesty."

"Don't be too nervous, relax Mr. Knight, I don't eat people." Purficott made a rare joke, but then said: "You said it was because you drunkenly beat the son of your immediate boss to death, so you He was kicked out of the army and was forced to come to the north to seek life.

And before that, you have actually been selected into the new steam knights that the empire is forming. Is that right? "

For Purficott, it was too easy to investigate Shay's identity and background. When she decided to meet Shay, his identity and background and all relevant information had already appeared in front of her.

"Yes, Your Majesty the Earl! As for being killed by mistake..." Although Shay just answered, he still instinctively wanted to explain so as not to leave a bad impression on Purficott.

However, Purficott just waved his hand and said casually: "No need to explain. In my case, victory does not need explanation, and failure cannot be explained. As long as you can make results that satisfy me, I don't mind if you have a little problem." , or what kind of bad past he had in the past.

That doesn't matter, because that's in the past. What matters is now, you know what I mean? "

Purficott's meaning was simple. She wouldn't mind Shay's previous experiences. It was just a drunken accident in which he accidentally beat a few people to death. It wasn't a big problem, and she wouldn't be able to tolerate it.

Purficott was satisfied with Shay's statement, but she still criticized Shay: "My standard for evaluating talents is never what they say, but what they do. If you want to show me Express loyalty?
Yes, but this is not done with words, but with actions.

For the current Northern Territory, the talent gap is huge. She needs more people to actively defect to her, not just rely on Robert's recruitment in Langton. That is too inefficient.

But now, as the first unofficial high knight sent to the north, Purficott is still willing to release some goodwill, which is not only an investment in Shay himself, but also a courtesy to the corporal and the rich horse bones. kind of attitude.

And if you want to attract talents to invest, it is still necessary to make sufficient gestures.

Shay naturally knew this well, and politely expressed his gratitude to Purficott. At the same time, he also expressed his loyalty to her with an excited emotion, as if he was swearing allegiance.

It can only be said that he has indeed caught up. As the first unofficial knight to come to the north, Purficott is willing to show some sincerity and treatment that exceeds the value he has shown.

Even for Purficott, restoring what Shay had lost and solving the problems of his immediate boss were just a matter of her words.

Although the Shay in front of her may be worthy of investment in Purficott's opinion, it is not worthy of her attention.

But the premise is that Shay shows enough value to be worth the trouble and worries that Perfectcott solves for him.

I can give you a chance, but only once, to prove your loyalty to me. "

"Please give me your instructions, Lord Earl!" Shay lowered his head. He knew that whether he would be rich or noble in the future would all depend on this chance.

"Very good, I will give you a group of manpower and take them to build a development base." Purficott ordered, she did not speak quickly, this was to let Shay remember clearly, and at the same time, she was thinking about it. What requirements do you want to make to Shay: "You have no backup. I can allocate some of the supplies to you, but don't count on it. You have to rely on yourself for everything. What I ask of you is that you must build the stronghold within this year. To the extent that it can be self-sufficient, at least it must be able to ensure the good operation of the site, rather than requiring me to provide assistance to maintain it.

In addition, I will also give you a drawing, and you need to organize people to build according to the drawing.

This matter is not so urgent, but you must complete it within the time I set, and you must meet the standards I require.

If you have any difficulties, you can report it to my housekeeper. If it is really beyond your ability, my housekeeper will solve it for you or report it to me.

But I don’t want to hear you asking for help all the time, you know what I mean? "

Purficott asked Shay to build the planned shelter, but she did not expect Shay to directly build the shelter. That would be too unrealistic.

All she asked of Shay was to lay the foundation and make relevant preparations for the construction of the shelter.

Considering that Shay wants to build an immigration base from scratch, Purficott still intends to give him some help, but if Shay asks for too much help, Purficott will not regard him as useful. of talent.

Xie Yi naturally understood that this was a test given to him by Purficott. If he could do well, he would naturally gain the favor of Perficott and from then on he would rise to the top and be reused.

But if it’s not done well…

Shay won't think about this possibility. The opportunity is so precious to him, how can he waste it?

He had decided that once he had settled down, he would send a telegram to his eldest brother in Longton to ask for his help and support.

If he can gain a foothold in the North, then the Cormac family may also be able to do something in the North. This is not his fault alone.

"Understood, Lord Earl! Please look forward to my performance." Shay still has confidence in his own abilities. If he is just building a development stronghold, he has military experience and is still very confident in himself.

"Very good, I like your attitude." Purficott nodded with satisfaction, and then promised Shay: "Work hard. If your results can satisfy me, a development document will be It's the reward you deserve.

Before that, I will give you the title of Honorary Knight of the White Bear Knights to facilitate your work.

In addition, if you have colleagues or friends who want to come to the north to develop, you can also recruit them, and you can also recommend good talents to me.

The northern border is big enough, I will not be stingy with rewards for talents, wealth? Title? Or something else? As long as you can make results that satisfy me, what you can achieve will exceed your imagination. "
