Chapter 202: The Great Farming Era (5)
As the headquarters of the entire security team, this is a military camp that originally existed, with this military camp as a sustenance, the entire camp has expanded a lot, and has become a place for the garrison troops to rest after completing their tasks.
"Okay, it's time to the camp, let's go to the stables and put the horses away, and then let's rest, the old rules at night!"
The words of the Imperial Knight made the squad of soldiers behind him cheer, and they jumped off their horses and began to settle their horses, although they were all infantry, but each infantry had a cavalry heart, and they still loved these war horses that might be recovered.
At this time, there are a lot of people in the barracks, and there are constantly resting teams leaving the camp and heading towards the main road, and there are many resting soldiers resting inside, and there are many soldiers conducting routine training, the whole camp seems to be very busy, the knight himself returned to the room, this is a small house, built quickly with wooden planks, wind, sand and rain are no problem, this small house is simple to make, just used to build a short-term camp, and it is precisely because of such a room that the knight can have his own bedroom.
The bedroom is relatively small, so there is a bed, a bedside table, and a utility room next to it, although it is small, but it is enough for rest.
The knight took off his heavy armor, put on a sweat-stained middle coat, took his toiletries and went out, there was a large public bathroom outside, there was no one in the bathroom at this time, after all, not people like them came back every moment, an average of one a day came back.
So the knight doesn't have to worry about the trouble of not having a bathroom, this kind of bathroom is well decorated, smooth iron-clad wooden compartment, above which is a pipe connected to a cistern, as long as the switch is turned on, there will be cool water rushing down, in the hot weather, after strenuous exercise to take such a bath, it is the best feeling.
After enjoying the water to wash off the sweat stains on his body, the knight changed into clean clothes, and then walked out of the bathroom refreshed.
"Captain, this way!"
After the knight washed up and changed into a regular uniform, he came to the restaurant, several soldiers who had already come here shouted to their captain, they had already ordered the food, the canteen here is to provide a single pot of small stir-fry, but the cost price of the meal needs to be given, but the price is definitely cheap enough, eating a big meal with fish and meat, may only cost about 50 yuan now, don't forget, this is seven or eight strong men, seven or eight strong men only spend fifty yuan when they are full and well-fed, are you not satisfied?
This meal was hearty, two fatty fresh fish, a large roast chicken, a large pot of pork rib soup, as well as mixed white meat, sweet and sour tenderloin, sauce elbow, and a pot of roast meat, plus enough rice and juice, a group of people were also very satisfied.
"Captain, are we going to East Street or West Street tonight?"
The so-called East Street and West Street refers to a small town near the camp, and many resting soldiers will choose to go to the town at night to rest, anyway, they have good welfare benefits, and after taking care of their homes, they still have a lot of spare money to do other things.
After eating, the knight sat on the chair with enjoyment, watching the well-fed subordinates staggering, although he was slightly dissatisfied in his heart, but after all, when he arrived at the camp and was on vacation, the soldier could relax himself, if the mood was tense for too long, it was not a good thing for the soldier's mentality.
For this point, the knight who became a veteran still agrees, so he didn't care about his soldiers, but thought about it and said:
"Or go to West Street, the boss of East Street last time was not authentic, and he didn't ask us for money while we were drunk!"
The captain's words made the soldiers a little angry, and one soldier said directly:
"These greedy businessmen are too dishonest, they actually treat us like this, if it weren't for the military regulations, where would I go to clean them up today!"
"Forget it, let's report this matter to the top, and let the people above clean them up directly, and we won't care so much. ”
An older veteran still said in a relatively old way, and the other soldiers nodded approvingly, in order to keep the military hat on their heads, they didn't dare to bother with any military regulations.
The knight thought about it and took out the juice and took a sip, then stood up:
"Okay, let's do it for now, let's all go back and have a good rest, and gather at half past five in the afternoon!"
...
The scale of this town is not large, but the number of people is quite large, mainly many people in the nearby villages take advantage of the free time in the evening to bring a lot of snacks and small things to the town to sell, after the curfew is lifted, many villagers can make a cameo appearance in the evening small businessmen, plus the temporary military camp that exists nearby at the same time, a large number of soldiers who come every day can bring them a lot of wealth, but they do not worry about things not being sold.
This situation has also caused some things for them, that is, many farmers actually choose to do business now, although they themselves will not go, but their own educated juniors, but one of them is sent to business, no way, the wealth of the entire heaven-sent land is really a good opportunity for any businessman.
Therefore, it is understandable that many other people also want to join the army of merchants.
The west street of the town, a large number of hawkers are enthusiastically selling, they mainly sell a lot of food, this period of time with the rapid development of the family breeding industry, they can also take out some rabbit legs or spicy rabbit heads from time to time to sell, as for whether it is good or not, this is not to worry, it is not delicious in the market of competition incentives, it is not surviving.
"Master Jun, the rabbit head is cheap, one copper coin and one rabbit head, buy three get one free!"
"Bunny leg bunny leg, barbecue bunny leg!"
"Huimin Restaurant, all drinks today will be 20% off!"
"For the people's tavern, all the drinks and dishes in the audience today are all 75% off!"
"I'll fuck you!"
"I'll fuck you~"
This kind of bustling night market reflects from the side how great the changes that have taken place in the entire heaven-sent land under the governance of Leluxiu, it is with a large number of materials to lay the foundation, they will have a prosperous foundation, otherwise the big guys can't even eat their own food, what else can they use for commercial activities?
The knight with his squad members in military uniforms attracted the attention of countless merchants, after all, the characteristics of these soldiers who are stupid and rich are almost directly written on their faces, and the merchants will not be kind to you if you are a great warrior of the Son of God and the patron saint of the empire, they will only see if you have money or not, and they are reluctant to spend money.
This West Street is not big, there are only two restaurants, and then there are a few hidden brothels outside, Lelouch theoretically does not prohibit soldiers from looking for prostitutes, but the sense of glory that Lelouch has always created for them makes them really unable to let go of their figures, and they themselves are honestly not short of women, just go to that place, I don't know how many big girls will be worried about it.
The knight found a random store to go in, mainly and only two, so they went in and started ordering.
There are a lot of people in this hotel, the villagers are rich, these townspeople are also rich, and now every night they invite a few friends to come over to eat and drink, it is also a good enjoyment, the knight casually ordered a few dishes, and then began to chat with his teammates, and then suddenly heard the people next to him seem to be talking loudly about Lelouxiu, although the opposite side only said the title of His Majesty Lelouxiu's Divine Son, but still let the knight and the garrison soldiers look at each other, and then listen carefully.
"This Lord Shenzi is really powerful, look at our bitter haha, how long has it been since we had such a good life!"
"Like, don't you say, we can eat a little bit of meat almost every day now. ”
"That's right, who doesn't have any meat to eat now!"
Hearing that it was Lelouch who was praised, the knights and the soldiers of the squad were slightly relieved, the soldiers' fanaticism for Lelouch was quite perverted, and if they heard any words about Lelouch being bad, they would not mind sending that person to the stake at the stake.
However, hearing the conversation between the men, the knight was a little thoughtful, he looked at one of the soldiers in his ranks, and said:
"Jack, aren't you on family leave tomorrow?"
The soldier named Jack nodded excitedly, and several soldiers next to him coaxed and said:
"Jack will be an Imperial Knight when he returns!"
This Jack is the first soldier to join when Lelouch was still in Limburg when he built the army, in five years he successfully went from an illiterate infantryman to an imperial knight, although he is the third knight in the level of the three armies, but it is also a knight that these peasants dare not think of, in order to shape the sense of glory of the army, Lelouch specially set up family leave activities for these knights, in modern terms, this behavior is called:
Come home rich or famous!
...
Jack's hometown is a small village in the North, and five years later, this small village has long since been relocated to the nearest new town, which is the starting place of Lelouch and has the largest number of military families.
At this time, on the avenue, Jack wore a gorgeous and handsome imperial knight armor and rushed towards his hometown, although there was absolutely no comfort in wearing armor, but Jack was completely reluctant to take it off, because this armor represented Jack's current identity, an identity that his hometown people would never have imagined.
As the target town gets closer and closer, Jack's heart is becoming more and more hot, the town in his hometown has changed greatly at this time, outside the village is a circle of asphalt roads that exist instead of the wall, and the smooth ground is constantly passing by all kinds of vehicles, Jack appeared at the entrance of the town wearing knight armor, attracting countless townspeople to watch, their eyes are full of envy.
"Look at this, it's the children in our town who are coming back to visit their relatives!"
A mobilizer was more familiar with the situation of the army, so he saw Jack's situation at a glance, and after understanding this situation, the mobilizer took the initiative to go up and say:
"Brother hasn't been back for a long time, do you want to find that family? ”
In the face of this mobilizer licking his face and calling his brother to take advantage, Jack, who had just been promoted to a knight, couldn't help but be a little unable to react, he still said thank you politely, and then walked towards the back, although the knights were originally polite and humble in their guidelines, but these knights worked hard to get to their current position, and it was more difficult to make them polite to everyone.
At this time, the town has changed greatly, quite a picture of Italian Renaissance architectural style, exquisite and prosperous, the common three- or four-storey buildings make up for the town, the bluestone road is particularly warm on the ground, Jack's knight armor has attracted countless attention, although there are many knights in this town, but it is not a short time to see.
Jack's home is now located in the core area of the town, they are the first family to come here, naturally have a natural advantage, now Jack's home is a big house, as a five-year veteran, after several consecutive wars, Jack has won a lot of wealth for the whole family, his own four-story building, is a direct reflection of their family background, especially under the door even opened a bakery, which is full of baked soft bread.
It's just that there is a group of people at the door at this time, and their Jack is looking at it right away, and after seeing the situation inside, Jack is indeed a little unhappy, why?
Because at this time, he was seeing his parents and sisters, all gathered around a knight, watching with envy, and if the knight in the center was a knight of the Praetorian Guard or a knight of the Empire, Jack didn't feel anything, and even felt very lucky, but only at this time, surrounded by a knight of the Holy Guard, eh, that is, a knight of the church.
The contradiction between the garrison and the Jiaowei army can be said to be the biggest contradiction existing under the entire Lelouxiu, and in order to create competition between the troops, Lelouch even fanned the flames, which made the two sides almost on the same footing, and sometimes even sublimated to the level of contradictions between commoners and nobles.
Even the difference between the old aristocracy and the new citizens.
"How is it, my son is good, this is a holy guard knight who specializes in protecting the divine son of God, not that I said, this is only our family with aristocratic traditions can bring out such knights!"
The words of the Guardian Knight's father made the people present only look at them with wireless envy and could not refute them!
