Chapter 0089 - Uncooperative
Fort Krigane, Hall.
Count Odd said, "Lord Gregor, there is something I want to apologize to you first. ”
"What's the matter?" Gregor and Count Odd sat across the table, like an adult facing a child, and the feeling of oppression came naturally.
"I forbade the Lanniport Tavern from selling your Clegane noodles. ”
Gregor Clegane did not speak, and glared at the Count. He was waiting for the Count to give an explanation. The knights behind Gregor were already hostile, and they didn't hide it.
Polivier's lips stretched out and licked slowly on his lips, and he stared at the Count a little nervously, he was looking at the Count's throat, and it was a beautiful thing he was pondering to cut off the Count's throat and soak it in the vat.
The faces of the four centurions beside the earl all changed.
They all know that it's better not to joke about talking here.
The people around Gregor were not normal people, and those soldiers knew by looking at their faces that they were not good stubble.
The Count smiled and looked at Jenny and Gavin, a little surprised why Count Gavin stayed in Clegane instead of returning to Cragon to prepare for the wedding. It's kind of unconscionable, is there something in Clegane that needs him here.
Klegan is not big, but now it can't be said to be small, all the way in, Klegan Village has built more than 50 houses, and is still under construction, which is also a bit unreasonable, because the new and old people in Klegane's territory add up to 30 families, scattered all over the territory, to build all the houses to live in a centralized manner, and 30 households are enough.
Soldiers and knights had their own barracks, just as the priests lived in the sanctuary, so the extra houses would not have been for soldiers.
As we passed, I saw the stables, at least one stable that could keep three hundred horses. This is also a bit unconscionable, because the cavalry of the Clegane is currently less than a hundred, and even if a cavalryman keeps two horses to change, he does not need such a large stable.
These small details only show one thing, the Crimean Territory is still recruiting, and it is also recruiting people.
According to the law of the realm, a subject cannot change a lord for life, unless the lord is eliminated due to a major change or the lord status and territory are directly deprived by the duke. Now in peacetime, neither of these scenarios will exist.
Of course, the law of the realm is not fully enforced, for example, two neighboring lieges, one of which is more powerful, may devour the territory and subjects of the other lord under the pretext of being disputed in the border area. As long as a lord swallows his anger for some reason, these things will happen.
"Sir Gregor, you seem to have more people in your territory. The Earl laughed.
"There is no army without people, and Gregor is a dignified knight, so it is not too much to build a cavalry guard regiment of a hundred men. "Miss Jenny's voice is as good as the song of a bird in spring. She smiled and was fascinated, "My lord, Clegane has not violated the territorial law to develop the people, I just suggest that the adults build more houses, so that some homeless people and poor people who have lost their land can live in the future, this is not illegal." ”
"Of course!" said the Count, "Miss Jane, you have not yet married into the Clegane family, and you are already worried about Clegane, hahahaha, Hahaha, Sir Gregor, congratulations on your good fortune. ”
"Noodles!" said Gregor sullenly.
With a word, he interrupted the count's small talk, which was like a small muffled thunder, rolling in the clouds, and if he didn't get it right, it would explode with a click.
The Earl laughed again: "Sir, I have bought the largest tavern in Lannisport, the Bichel Tavern, I am asking someone to renovate it into 'Clegane Noodle House', and the other nine noodle restaurants have been ordered by me to stop selling noodles." I will raise the price of noodles from two large bronze stars to one silver deer, and only sell them to nobles, knights, great merchants, captains, mercenary chiefs, island princes of the open sea, and magnates. ”
Gregor glared at the Count and said in a deep voice, "I don't agree. ”
The Earl was unhurried and said with a smile: "Sir, I have already asked my gray-robed bachelor Bancrof to calculate, we cooperate, and with the same sales volume, your income will be doubled." Lannisport is the largest city in the west, and the trade with the continent of Essos on the other side of the narrow sea is smooth, and those powerful merchants who come to Lannisport to trade, they will definitely eat noodles in the 'Bichiel Tavern'. Haha, they still need permission from my Count of Ode's harbor. I assure Sir that as long as you have a supply of Clegane somen noodles, we'll be making money every day. It's a little gold mine. ”
"I disagree. Gray said decisively.
The count's face froze, and his smile suddenly became awkward.
The Count suddenly wondered why he was so confident?
He was facing a great demon demon mountain!
The noodle restaurant opened by Count Ode of Lanniport is ten times more unpalatable, and those nobles, merchants, knights, mercenary leaders from all over the world dare not take care of business without giving face, not to mention that this noodle is unprecedentedly delicious. Moreover, a silver deer is very expensive for ordinary people, but the earl does not sell this side to ordinary people at all.
"Why, sir?"
"There is no why, disagree is disagree. Sir Gregor raised his voice. The entire hall echoed with Gregor's echo: disagree...... Agree...... Meaning......
Gray's voice was like thunder, and his eyes were wide open, like a galloping horse.
The ignorant mad dogs behind him who only knew how to listen to Gregor were ready to move, and even if they beat the Count in the Cregan, the Count would only digest it himself, because he would never tell Duke Tywin about it, he couldn't afford to lose this man, and if he dared to complain, Duke Tywin would definitely scold him.
There is no very serious conflict, and the Earl's life is not in danger, but those little guards under him, killing a few, are no problem.
“...... "Sir......" the Earl sneered, "I still have ......."
"Mrs. Allen. Gregor had turned his head and didn't give the Count a chance to continue.
"Yes, my lord!" said Lady Allen, standing in a dignified manner as she stood in the ranks of her retainers, and curtshowed Sir Gregor and the Earl.
"The Earl is here, and brings all the good wine, food, and meat to the table. ”
"Yes, sir. ”
"Count Ode, let's go to the restaurant, it's rare for you to come here, we won't get drunk today. Gregor stood up.
Count Ode's face was small and pale, and small beads of sweat broke out from the tip of his nose.
He had plans to visit the noodle machine shop and visit a fine flour mill. He had given the order that the mills in Clegan would no longer have to worry about the quality of wheat. The largest trading port had the largest farmers' market in the west, and the trade in wheat was monopolized.
"Mistress Gregor. Jenny smiled, very charming, "The Earl is the lord of Lannisport, he wants to cooperate with the lord to start a business, I thought about the pros and cons, and I don't think it will bring any harm to Clegane." My lord, why don't you want to cooperate with the Earl, who is a Lannister, and I am also the youngest daughter of the Lannister family. Sir, Clegane and Lannister are already family! why can't we work together?"
Jane's words hit the nail on the head, the first point is profit, everyone earns money together, and the second point is love, in fact, there is the meaning of getting close to the powerful in the name of Duke Tywin.
"The Count is too stingy and not sincere enough. Gregor stood and looked at Janie, his voice lowered by more than a dozen degrees, like a giant's flattering face of a handful of elves. Then he turned his head to look at Odd, and his voice returned to normal, "Count, if you promise me a small thing, I will promise to cooperate with you." A small thing for the Earl, but it was a great help to Clegane. ”
