Rise of the Lord of Mount and Blade

“My lord, please forgive me for speaking badly, but you are very good to those mud legs!”

The treasurer who rushed to hear the news Marlowe shouted straight to the point as soon as he entered the study.

After that, he noticed that there was still a Cassia in the study, and quickly took his hand, said: “Griffin, you also persuade adults, I have no idea what military training you do. But it’s really unnecessary to give everyone who participated!”

After that, he looked towards Richard and said: “My lord, I’ll do the calculations for you. Everyone will send two Tongval’s daily salary, half a month comes down to three Silver Coins. How many reserve soldiers are participating in military training? If all this is added up, we can directly empty our treasury!”

Richard Not feeling upset because of Marlowe’s impatience, he scratched his head and said: “Then Marlowe, what do you think I should do?”

“My lord, you should remember that those mud legs accept Recruitment is their obligation. You don’t need to give them so-called daily wages. You also need to build an ordnance factory. You are already extraordinarily generous to provide workers with three meals a day. There is no need to give them daily wages at all. “Marlowe said, with a hint of resentment in his tone, and it can be seen that he was extremely dissatisfied with Richard’s “prodigal” behavior.

This is also the common psychology of most aristocrats. They aloof and remote, how can they put lowly civilians in their eyes, let alone let them do things and pay money, in their eyes, let It is their duty for civilians to do things and they can only accept it unconditionally.

“Oh, Marlowe, we are talking about military training, and there is no need to repeat the matter about the armory.” Richard said.

After he finished speaking, Cassia suddenly took the conversation and said: “My lord, I also think that it is a superfluous thing for you to pay the daily salary to the conscripts. If you really want to show them your If you are generous, you can select some outstanding performers from them to reward some money. This will not only inspire their interest, but also make them more attentive.”

“If this is the case, I It’s totally acceptable.” Marlowe said.

“Okay, okay, just do what Cassia said.” Hearing what they said, Richard also thought he was too generous to civilians, so he listened to their opinions.

Seeing Richard’s change of heart, Marlowe obviously relaxed, he paused, and then changed the subject, saying: “My lord, you will be married to Teresa Young Lady in more than a month, according to tradition. , In a few days, you will leave for Kraena to discuss the wedding process and details with the Duke of Lylis. What gift are you going to bring?”

“Uh…”

Richard was speechless. Although he was a man for the third life, it was the first time for a big girl to go to the sedan chair when he was married. How could he know what to bring home. Seeing that Richard got stuck, Marlow immediately understood. He reminded: “My lord, you can bring some more expensive gifts to your door. It also shows that you pay enough attention to this wedding.”

” A more expensive gift?” For some reason, when Richard heard these six words, the appearance of spices immediately appeared in his mind. If you want to talk about expensive gifts, it must be the most expensive in this World, although it is not yet an inch. At the level of an inch of gold, you can take out a big bag of spices at once, and that row of noodles is very large.

Thinking of this, Richard has an answer in his mind. He said: “I will prepare the gift. When will I leave?”

“If you are not in a hurry, you can do it in three days. Start again.” Marlowe replied.

“Lord, do you need me to go with you?” Cassia asked.

“Why are you going with me?” Richard glanced at him strangely, and said: “This is just an ordinary trip. I’ll just bring a team of cavalry.”

“I’m going to prepare now.” Cassia touched her chest, replied.

Richard nodded, continued to Marlowe: “I will prepare the gift myself, and you will prepare the gift and so on as soon as possible.”

“Understood, my lord.” Marlowe replied.

……

Before setting off, Richard returned to the world by himself and went to the Alessai Sultanate to buy a few bags of pepper and other spices before entering the city. At that time, he accidentally heard the news from Hubia. Although it has been so long, the emir of Hubia is still tracking down the cargo he was robbed. This perseverance really moved Richard. , It’s just that Hubia’s Emir couldn’t recover it in his life, because the goods were all replaced by money and went into Richard’s pocket.

Thinking about it this way, Richard is a little weird and embarrassed.

Three days later, the caravan to Kleiner was also ready. In addition to the spice that Richard prepared as a gift, Jacob and Marlow also kindly helped Richard prepare two cars of generous gifts. , These gifts include local specialties of Mien Ling and heavy coins in boxes.

In order to ensure that the carriage will not be robbed by robbers on the way, at Cassia’s insistence, following Richard set off in addition to his originally scheduled twenty Valandian cavalry and several retinues, and Ten Valandia infantrymen were added.

Richard doesn’t think there is a need to bring too many soldiers. He just went through a process that’s all this time. The more people who walk, the more time it will take to go back and forth. West Asia had already arranged for him, and he didn’t bother to change it.

So, this small convoy left Mein City this morning and headed to Kleiner. The news of his departure was not at all deliberately concealed, plus the local civilians’ attitude towards Richard After a lot of improvements, I was also concerned about the lord’s wedding, which became a chat in some taverns.

Without anyone caring, soon after Richard’s team left, there was a ride away from Mein City, heading towards Richard’s departure on other roads, and quickly drove up, and soon surpassed this sluggish one. The advancing team sent the message to the employer behind him.

A few days later, Alville’s spymaster received the news of Richard’s departure. While reporting the matter to the lord, she also sent the ambush order to the Berry regiment she had hired in advance, requesting them Set up an ambush halfway before Richard’s team arrives.

After hearing the news of Richard’s departure, the young Viscount Alville Lelis was ecstatic. Although Richard had not been ambushed yet, he seemed to be able to see Richard’s tragic death in Bailey in advance. The scene under the sword.

“Must make sure that Richard died in the ambush, otherwise, you don’t need to come back alive.” After joy, he looked at the old woman standing in front of him and said in a cold tone.

hearing this, the old woman’s body was visibly trembling, she quickly nodded and said: “Young Master, even if he can escape the attack of the Bailey battle group, don’t even think of walking to Krener alive. .”

“This is the best way.”
