prince of europe in quintiles

"It's a pity, I thought I could give you food and shelter,"

She probably understood, perhaps thoughtfully.He got up and jumped happily, turned around and walked a few steps, then turned around secretly, as if to find out if Huo Teng was sincere in letting her go.

Huo Teng waved his hand, turned around generously, rode his little ordinary war horse, and moved forward with the knights.

The female centaur who stayed behind was probably cursing in her heart, Huo Teng was deliberately thrown into the wilderness, where should she go?

With nowhere to go, the hungry female centaur picked up the bread that Huo Teng had thrown away on the ground, swallowed it, and chased Huo Teng's army, following far behind.

"Put some food along the way, and don't let her run away."

Huo Teng was extremely nervous, and ordered the surrounding soldiers to bring a piece of bread each, and tempted the female centaur to follow the team.

Just stop and go like this, it took Huo Teng and the army two days to return to Göttingenburg from the border.

……

Hurrying to the gate of the castle, seeing Huo Teng's dusty appearance, Connuosha complained: "You said you, you went out to make such a big trip, you didn't receive anything, you paid a sum of food for nothing, and Those beggars crowd the door. You're making trouble for yourself. Look at your arm, are you crazy?"

"Stop talking, where's the horse? Is the horse coming?"

Huo Teng looked back and forth nervously, staggered, and was hurriedly walked over by Goldis Diu to help him up.

But at this moment, the female centaur, who was hanging far behind the army, saw Huo Teng hugging the two females, her face turned red, and she rushed over very unhappy.

Karon, who once pointed a spear at her on the road, was kicked over by the centaur.

Huo Teng hurriedly pushed the two wives to go up the tower under the protection of soldiers.But the female centaur rushed in front of Huo Teng, knelt down on her knees blushing, and mooed at Huo Teng.

It seems to be accepted.

After a long time, when the IQ of the centaur tribe gradually increased to approach that of humans, Huo Teng knew about it.

It turned out that the female centaur thought that Huo Teng's rough capture and seduction along the way was pursuing her.

She was also curious why Huo Teng didn't mate with her.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

In the early morning, Göttingenburg was expanding the stables, and some servants were forced to relocate to live in a small town by the moat outside the city.

Because here came a hot-tempered hostess, who was named Laura's female centaur by Huo Teng.

In terms of height, she wants to have a two-story house to herself, and in terms of treatment, she also needs at least two maids and a knight apprentice to dress her daily life.One is in charge of taking care of her basic necessities of life, the other is cleaning the room and cooking, and the knight apprentice is going to take care of her wardrobe and the maintenance of weapons and armor.

Since the armor and weapons needed for war horses are very unique, they all need to be reforged, which is also a big price.

In addition to weapons and armor, housing and maids, a special veterinarian is needed to take care of her clothing, food, housing and transportation to prevent illness and collapse.

Based on this calculation, raising a Laura would cost more than a small team of retinue knights.If it is converted into products, a village with dozens of people is needed to support it alone.

"My God, it's too expensive to raise her, isn't it?"

Huo Teng held the money in his hands in a broken state, his heart ached.

The eldest wife Conosha snorted and sneered: "The woman who brings the victory laurels, doesn't she have to spend more money?"

Holding today's account book, the little wife, Goldiu, also muttered with a little displeasure on her face: "Yes, yes, I wish I could transfer all the little care I have left, I don't know, I thought Laura was going to marry Where's your fiancée?"

Laura, a classic Latin name.Its meaning is 'the woman who brings victory' and is the feminine name of Laurentiis 'the one who brings victory'.

This name is naturally hoped that Huo Teng will continue to win in the future.

Delicate and charming like a royal sister, sexy and charming Conosha, cute and smart as a young girl with cardamom, and Gaudius Diu, who is as mellow as an oriole, the two fiancées are competing with each other, and they are shocked to find that Huo Teng and most knights have the same My fault is that I love horses more than women.After all, it is the Middle Ages, and the gap between women and objects is not much in many cases.In view of the fact that women are everywhere, but good horses are extremely rare, horses are more worthy of attention than women, and it has become a relatively common ethos of chivalry.

Attention is attention, and family still has to return.

The centaur downstairs poking its hooves at the veterinarian from time to time is definitely not as important as the two wives.

At this moment, another wife, Jones the Flash Knight, walked in with the child in her arms, humming: "The delegation from Paderborn just came to see me, and they sent the child a roll of silk made in Italy." , very precious. But it seems to be begging me to intercede with Earl Val and reduce the city tax for next year."

Oh no, it's three wives.

Huo Teng suddenly thought of a good idea: "Procrastinate with them first, and you accidentally reveal to them that I also have business needs here, and the nearby territories need business exchanges. But ah, you have to talk to them extra It was revealed at the time that we are going to ask the businessmen in Frankfurt to grant privileges. When they beg you to enter Göttingen to do business, you will agree, but I will not pay the business tax and road tax. Not much, unless they set up a shop in Liberty City, I can give a reduction in the market tax. This can be regarded as helping Earl Val to reduce the burden, killing two birds with one stone."

"You are really bad enough to deceive people into the urn." Connorsa complained mercilessly, but she laughed very happily.

Huo Teng also shrugged his shoulders, it was obviously a matter of public and private convenience.

Business cannot bring about a leap in productivity, but it can increase the redistribution and circulation of wealth.Huo Teng has been fighting for two years, and his treasury has become increasingly depressed, and his wealth reserves have been reduced by half in less than half a year.The missing parts, except for the food, all flowed into the wallets of Huo Teng's knights.

Introducing merchants to import luxury goods and taxing heavily to recover wealth is a good way to get the money back from the knights.

Huo Teng is also a master with no integrity and no lower limit, so he simply continued to expand: "In addition, we also need to broaden our sources of income. For example, the Earl of Kassel, and the barren land in the south that we nominally control, we can issue low prices to develop Order, every knight who wants to go there to develop, can pay a tax, so that the second son who cannot inherit the family business can take some adventurers to settle and explore. If you are willing to go in person, then pay another shield tax, exempt from this year’s corvee.”

Laura downstairs lost her temper for a while, and when she found out that Huo Teng couldn't find her, she approached Huo Teng's study, stood on the second floor with the window open, and watched Huo Teng discuss important affairs with the women.

Huo Teng continued to shake the pen: "There is still a problem, that is, how to rebuild Castle Castle? My personal opinion is to take pictures of our subordinates who are not ambitious and capable. For example, Greb and Adlai Bu, Caron can't, we can't trust that mercenary leader."

"Go Grab!"

"Choose the honest guy."

"I think Grebe is better. Adeleb is still useful."

The opinions of the three wives are rarely unified.

Geoffrey had been officially promoted to nobleman, but Greb, the original crusader archer, was still serving as the gatekeeper as a wealthy country gentleman.If Greb and his subordinates can work hard to rebuild Castle Castle, it is only natural to be promoted to a fief noble.

"Okay, we agree on this point, so write it down. But first, Greb is definitely not worthy of Kasselburg, so after this is done, you can consider sealing him to Eschwege or other wealthy areas. "Huo Teng added a supplement.

This is the preparation for next year.

Huo Teng discovered that he might have to disband the army for the second time, disbanding many unused troops, and then sending them to various parts of the south to establish villages by themselves and drive out the beastmen.

In addition to the special, knight, and country party troops, even those infantry spear regiments can also be disbanded, because Huo Teng currently has the option to upgrade the sea dragon scale armor, which can be re-recruited and put in place at once to organize a group of heavy armored infantry.

"The knights of the six squadrons all distributed the land and went to establish fiefs themselves; the eight hundred spearmen consulted them, and I provided food and land for them to expand further; the peasant archers were sent out with the team as squires. Those township parties who are willing to go out will be given relief and assistance."

Since you want to do it, do it once and for all.

At present, Huo Teng can recruit troops in two lines, and the speed of the storm is double that of the past, so disbanding most of the troops to open up the village land is also an option.

Now is the window period for Huo Teng to occupy Kassel and Eschwege, if he lets go boldly now, he will have a lot of money in the future.

"But...what if that stinky bitch from the Marquis of Meissen turns against us?" Connorsa said carelessly.

"Her? Let's take care of ourselves first. There are more beastmen raging everywhere than us." In front of Goldistein, Huo Teng didn't say clearly that he had tricked Swanhild.

After all, in objective reality, Thuringia is fine. In the wilderness of the Marquis of Meissen, the Beastmen are definitely crazy enough.

I hope that the Marquis of Meissen can survive this year.

I hope that Eckard I... can die quickly and be reborn early.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The city of Meissen on the eastern border of Germany.

The hostess, Swanishild, started another grumpy day: "It's really early death and early rebirth! The old man is lying on the bed and moaning, talking a lot of bullshit."

The one she complained about was, of course, Eckard I, the unlucky guy whose waist was accidentally smashed by the beam, who was living on the bed and had his waist broken.This man who was already salivating and unable to take care of himself, no matter in history or now, he is almost at the point of death.

Undoubtedly, his start was not high. The Marquis of Merseburg was just a small force on the border at that time.However, relying on ingratiating the Otto family and his continuous development without fear of death, he finally received grace during the reign of Otto III, and his territory expanded again and again.

However, in his later years, with the downfall of the Otto family, the Eckard family at the center of the storm was torn and entangled by the forces of Saxony, Poland, Bohemia, and Bavaria, and they were about to be torn to pieces almost instantly.It can be said that it is so easy to get, but also easy to lose.

In this era of imperial power change, the middle and upper-class dignitaries whose power came from the Otto family changed extremely rapidly. After all, they lost their backbone, and the vines could no longer stretch their green leaves.

Swanishild scolded fiercely, but actually spent a lot of money to hire all the famous doctors she could find.

She must try her best to hold on to the life of Eckard I, otherwise, she, the mistress, will lose her status as the master of power in an instant, and she will also have to give way to her eldest son, and she is going to spend the rest of her life in the monastery .Although she still doesn't understand how strong the backlash of power is, at this moment she is more focused on maintaining the basis for the existence of power.

No woman wants to spend her whole life in a monastery.

"Mother! Something serious happened!"

At this moment, the sons hurried into the house and reported in shock: "The army of beastmen is coming from the mountains and forests in all directions... Countless cities, castles, and bishoprics are in emergency. Our hometown, Merseburg It has been surrounded by no less than [-] beasts, and the nearby Naumburg has been broken in half..."

The second child spoke anxiously: "Also, the walls of Erfurt are in danger, at least two bishops were killed..."

These shocking news instantly impacted Swanhild's sanity, and the crazy woman who had never faced such a situation panicked for a while.

The daughters have a lot to do.

The daughter married to the northern feudal state begged: "Brandenburg has also been harassed and attacked, please send troops to support it."

Marrying the territory of the Eastern Barrier, Earl Bautzen's daughter cried: "Oh my God, there are difficulties in all directions, and our family has urgently sent someone to ask for help!"

The messages for help pouring in from all directions made Deswanhild feel overwhelmed for a moment.

At this time, she made a wise decision: "Several of you, gather your forces separately to rescue, but you must keep Merseburg and Erfurt. Bautzen is also saved, you go quickly."

The sons and daughters rushed forward and receded like a tide.

After leaving the mother's room, they all got into the small side room next to them.

The second child patted his chest happily: "Brother still has a way to fabricate some fake news and mix some real news, and finally got back the command of the army from mother."

This is a family of boys, but they are trying their best to cheat the power into their hands in advance from the mischievous mother.

However, the boss is not easy: "But most of the situations we have described are happening or about to happen. The Earl of Weimar in the west sent me a message, explaining that Huo Teng has worked hard. I was afraid that these beastmen would migrate to us, everyone worked hard, tightened their belts, and led their own people to appease the territory. Can't we be as good as Huo Teng, an upstart?"

"Why is Huo Teng showing off all the time?"

Eckard's sons and daughters were troubled.

However, Old Hermann still had ideas.

After his younger brothers and sisters went home, he took out a pen and paper, wrote out a letter of appeal for help that had been drafted a long time ago, and handed it to his servant to send to the king's case in the south.

In the letter, the old Hellman, who had been ready to take over for a long time, begged King Conrad to give him a sum of money and manpower assistance, but secretly tried to inform the king that he could be Conrad's northern ally, and Saxony's giant Bear confrontation.

If you don't help, then I can only go to Bernard, and I will be good brothers with my brother-in-law.Although Bernard suffered a disadvantage in Göttingen, he has a strong family background and will still be full of energy next year. You can't resist it.Hellman felt that he was doing the right thing after playing hard and soft.

And when this letter was running south, another letter also set foot on the road.

Who is it?

Who else but Huo Teng!

Huo Teng, who was flirting, found that his wallet was likely to make him drink thin soup next summer, so Huo Teng hurriedly used his brains to get enough support from the outside.

So Huo Teng simply wrote three letters in one go.

A letter to the Duchy of Lower Lorraine in the northwest, especially Heribert, Archbishop of Cologne. On the one hand, it expresses our intention to fight against the Duchy of Saxony. As the intermediate trade hub of the Rhine and Weser, the first and second largest water systems, he asked Herribert for some money with a big face.

The second letter was addressed to the Holy See of Mainz, Willikis and Burgard as mentors and apprentices.Due to his marital problems, the mentor and apprentice have been having a bit of a conflict lately, arguing over the Bible.Huo Teng jumped out to act as a peacemaker for the two of them, and reminded them by the way, stop arguing, now I am the one who blocked the tide of wild beasts, if you don't give me money, the Bible will not be able to protect you two when the tide of beasts goes south.

The third letter was naturally sent to King Conrad's desk.

Conrad, who lives on the high ground, is still at ease.

Because Swabia is a place in the Alps, and the altitude is so high. When it gets cold, most of the beastmen who lack warmth will freeze to death, and the king will press it down before there is any trouble.

As a result, Conrad can also use a wave of animal disasters to rebalance domestic power.

"Currently the most noisy area is near the Black Forest. From Meissen to Göttingen, from Magdeburg to Frankfurt, there are disaster reports everywhere. Many real estates have been deserted, and there are hundreds of miles of smoke." The priest said the latest The news keeps coming together.As a result, at least three counties were destroyed, dozens of towns were destroyed, and hundreds of thousands of people were wandering in turmoil.

For a normal country, this is simply a terrible experience like a national disaster.However, there is no need to worry about medieval Germany.

Because they have no corresponding measures and plans at all, and they have never had a large-scale disaster relief operation similar to that in the East.Die in a disaster, that belongs to God's destiny and judgment for you.

Even the flood disasters that are inevitable every year can't be controlled, and the mere animal disasters...

If I don't care, it will be gone?

"Hmm... It seems that next year's fiscal revenue will still be far from what it used to be." Conrad was troubled by the lack of funds, which made himself a king who didn't deserve his name.

At this time, one person couldn't stand it anymore.

He is the younger brother of the dead Henry II, the priest Bruno, a strong and simple priest who only recognizes the truth but not the people.When Henry II was extremely powerful in history, he was able to fight against his brother with the opposition.

Bruno had a high reputation and was born in a wealthy family. Naturally, he was quickly appointed as a court priest, leading the priests who actually acted as the administrative organs of the state to maintain the operation of Caesar's court.

He remonstrated: "The king pays more attention to money than his people. I am afraid that in the end, he will lose everything and get nothing."

Conrad really has nothing to do with Bruno.He is of good blood, one of the only remaining descendants of the Otto royal family.If you don't even respect this person, then going out and being stabbed in the back, or even overthrowing the throne are within the scope of possibility.

"Then what can you do?"

When Bruno was planning to reply, he naturally saw the nervous little queen Matilda.
