"Lord Eugen......" As soon as they saw Eugen, Martha and Charlie greeted them excitedly, their eyes flashing with a sparkling light, as if they were seeing the God of Wealth.

The clerk in the town hall also walked up, he couldn't figure out Eugen's identity, he didn't dare to offend, so he cautiously asked, "This ...... Honorable lord, I don't know who you are? ”

Eugen first smiled and nodded at the two Martha, and then turned to look at the affairs officer, and said with a solemn expression: "I am Earl Eugen of Lyber, on the order of His Majesty Emperor Charles VI, I went to Vienna to participate in the war, and I arrived here last night, and I want to rest here all night and do some things." ”

Hearing Eugen's identity, the affairs officer suddenly showed a sincere and frightened expression on his face, with his identity, he was not qualified to talk to such a big man at all, so he hurriedly bent down to Eugen and saluted respectfully, and said: "Honorable Earl Eugen, Mr. Mayor is in the town hall, and I will inform you." ”

Eugen waved his hand, and the clerk took two steps back, then turned and hurried towards the town hall.

Time was pressing, and Eugen didn't have time to wait for the arrival of the mayor, so he rode directly to the steps in front of the town hall, looked condescendingly at the tailors gathered below, and said loudly: "Gentlemen! I know that you are some of the best tailors in Graz, and now I will say that Martha and Charlie did not deceive you. ”

With Eugen's words, Martha and Charlie walked to Eugen's horse, facing all the tailors in Graz, at this moment, the two of them had a strong sense of honor, as if they had become an important person, and this feeling was exactly what Eugen gave them.

"Here, I, Count Eugen Habsburg, invite you to come and carry out an important work." Eugen continued: "You know that at the present time in Vienna the rebels of Saxony and Prussia are uniting against our noble Emperor Majesty, and this is an act of betrayal that no one can tolerate, and all subjects of the Holy Roman Empire: I, and you, should contribute to the crusade like those traitors! ”

After Eugen's words, the tailors present were immediately aroused with a strong sense of patriotism, they did not know very well what kind of people Saxony and Prussia were, and they did not know much about His Majesty Emperor Charles VI, but they only knew that betrayal was shameful.

In the town hall at the rear, the old mayor, who was over seventy years old, slowly walked out of the hall with a cane, and the old mayor was so old that just walking such a few steps required two people to support him back and forth.

However, although the old mayor was old, he also had a patriotic heart, and when he heard Eugen's words, he also slammed his crutches on the stone floor twice, making a muffled sound in response to Eugen.

Eugen glanced back at the commotion, smiled at the old mayor and nodded, then turned back to look at the group of tailors below.

The tall and thin man who had questioned Martha and the others before looked puzzled, and when he saw Eugen looking at them, he said hesitantly: "Dear Earl, we are indeed willing to contribute to His Majesty the Emperor, but we are just a group of tailors, not soldiers, how can we help?" Could it be that we went to the battlefield and went to battle the enemy's soldiers with a thin needle to sew clothes? ”

As soon as the thin and tall man said this, everyone's originally passionate emotions suddenly weakened a lot, and some people had a vague reluctant expression on their faces.

Indeed, these tailors have no combat effectiveness, and if they are forcibly recruited into the battlefield, they will be at most cannon fodder.

These people are very willing to help His Majesty the Emperor, but few people are willing to go to the battlefield to fight, after all, war means death, although the current life is firmly believed, but it has not reached the point where it is impossible to live and have to seek death.

Eugen knew that they would have such a question, and he was not surprised by this, and still said with a smile: "Hahaha, this question is very good, yes, of course we will not send you to the battlefield, it is murder." However, in many cases, you don't have to go to the battlefield to be able to exert your strength. ”

As he spoke, Eugen raised his hand, and the hundred or so soldiers he had brought with him stepped forward one after another, walked among the tailors, and placed the cloth packages on their shoulders in front of the tailors present.

As a tailor, they could tell at a glance that the bags were wrapped in rags of different colors, the largest of which was only a meter long and wide, and the short ones were simply thin and small, only the size of the palm of a hand.

No one is stupid, and when they see these things, they immediately understand that Eugen wants them to sew something, but these fabrics are too fine, and if they sew clothes, they will not meet their needs at all.

So everyone just casually glanced at each other, then withdrew their gaze and turned their attention back to Eugen to see what he had to say next.

Eugen pointed to the cloth parcels and said, "This is how you contribute your strength, and now I want to ask you to use these pieces of cloth to sew a flag for each of you, and as for the style of the flag, the soldiers around you will introduce it to you next." ”

Speaking of this, Eugen coughed softly, an apologetic smile appeared on his face, and then said: "Ahem, because this expedition is in a hurry, and you don't carry too many gold coins, so you can only owe your labor fees this time, but I swear in the name of the nobles that when this incident is over, I will return here and personally return the labor fees to you, and for each banner sewn, you will be paid ten gold coins of Kild!" ”

Hearing that there was no pay for this work, the tailors below immediately showed a lack of interest, and the movements of their hands also had some negative meaning.

As for Eugen's assurance, few commoners would take the assurances of the nobles to heart, after all, most of the time, the nobles are a bunch of bastards who just want to gain and don't want to pay.

Martha believed Eugen's words very much, and before Eugen could finish speaking, she squatted on the ground and sewed with her hands and feet, in this era, everyone who eats is carried with him, and Martha's satchel around her waist contains several of her most important tailoring tools.

With these tools, she is able to do most of the simple sewing work.

The other tailors were like this, carrying with them the tools they needed for their work, but their enthusiasm was noticeably lower than Martha's, and the progress of their work was very slow.
