Everyone has their own strengths, you can make iron, I can make a sword, it varies from person to person.

Robit couldn't bear it in the store, and made a splash for the first time, and soon the news spread throughout the royal capital! When His Majesty learned of this, he gave Connor a thumbs up in front of his courtiers, and Connor smiled from ear to ear.

Connor had three sons, Arashiyama, Robit, and Regis. Judging by the usual inaction of the three of them, Connor has always been worried about the future of the First Duke's Court. But this time Robit made such a fuss, he not only showed unprecedented justice, but also made a long face for the First Duke's Palace, which gave Connor a glimmer of hope.

But Robit is not only Robit who is an excellent teenager, but Miller, who seems insignificant, has another amazing achievement.

Ever since Miller got his hands on Cook's gold coin, the five-year-old boy has embarked on his astonishing enrichment moves. From cheap flour to expensive Uba wine, Miller started as a small vendor at the lowest level, and in just two months, he earned his own small merchant team and owned five horse-drawn wagons for goods.

When Miller handed the two gold coins to Cook, he proudly said, "One is to repay your capital, and the other is to be used as interest and reward." ”

Miller seems to have been born a prodigy of peddlers, he has a very accurate grasp of the surrounding market and the price of goods, and can ensure that he makes enough money every time, and will maximize efficiency, and there will be basically no idle trucks in and out of the royal capital. For example, wine is transported from the town of Uba to the royal capital, and after the wine is unloaded, it is transported from the royal capital with high-quality riding boots and leather to Victoria, and then from Victoria it is transported back to the town of Ouba with cheap flour and agricultural tools to be sold.

In the underdeveloped trade of Knight, no one can plan the sale so well! But Miller did just that, and although he was only five years old, his intelligence and hard work led him to quickly say goodbye to hardship and bring a prosperous life to his parents.

Cook was still the same as before, and as Robit entered the training camp, the two of them practiced sword splitting together every day.

However, there were many other noble children in the camp behind, the most prominent of which were Dirmit, the son of the Marquis of Retus, and Miro, the son of the Count of Namir. This was also because Fawkes was praised by the king for his leadership, so other nobles followed suit.

Dirmit was an eight-year-old boy and Miro was only seven years old, and because they were close in age to Cook, they were soon placed in Cook and Robit's camp at Connor's suggestion.

On one occasion, Miller and Jombus came to training camp to find Robit and Cook, and met Connor and Fox at the camp gate. Fox knew Miller because he remembered Miller's return of Cook's gold coins. At Fox's suggestion, Connor also agreed to let the two children go to training camp together, and deal with them in front of the special recruits, specifically to improve the mood of accompanying Cook.

In the custom of the Knight people, such a noble status as a knight will never have anything to do with the children of these poor families. Miller and Jombus broke with this tradition and became the first to recruit poor children for knightly training.

Because of this incident, those nobles who did not have the opportunity to enter the training camp of the royal capital secretly reported Fox's favoritism to the king with indignation.

But now the matter of the kingdom knight training camp is all in Fox's decision, although the king called Fox over and reprimanded a few words, but he just went through the motions to appease those nobles. Later, when the king summoned Fawkes alone, he privately reassured Fawkes, saying that as long as no other poor children were allowed to enter the training camp in the future, the incident would not have happened.

Connor and Fawkes represent the number one force in the kingdom, and this is a situation set up by King Furyk himself, as long as they do not affect the overall situation of the kingdom, of course, the king will pass it off for such a trivial matter.

But some people are just so unsmart that they want to take the opportunity to suppress Fox.

On this day, Asaido came to the palace to see King Furyk, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he counted Count Fawkes and said, "Your Majesty, Fawkes has actually left two lowly poor children in the royal capital training camp, which has seriously affected the reputation of our great knight, and many nobles are very dissatisfied with this!" If Fox is not punished, I am afraid that one day the training camp in the royal capital will become a refugee camp for the poor. ”

King Furyk was not happy when he heard this, he turned his head and asked, "Duke Arsaido, then what do you think we should do with Fawkes?" ”

Acedo thought that the king was moved by his own words, so he couldn't wait to reply: "Fox is full of loopholes in the management of the training camp, why don't we choose a better person to be the chief instructor, what does Your Majesty think?" ”

The king smiled coldly and said in a tentative tone: "Who to choose, do you think you can do it?" ”

Acedo was shocked when he heard this, he didn't expect the king to think about himself first, so he hurriedly prevaricated and said, "No, no, no, how can I be virtuous, how can I be qualified for the position of chief instructor!" ”

After hearing this, the king snorted coldly, he got up and angrily rebuked: "If you are not competent, shut up for me, and if I hear anyone speak ill of Fawkes in the future, I will not spare it!" And Acedo, I warn you, you think I don't know about the ugly things you've done? ”

Faced with the king's sudden anger, Asaido completely lost his bearing, and he replied tremblingly: "Your Majesty, the ministers swear allegiance to Your Majesty, and dare not disrespect you in the slightest!" ”

The king sneered, "Hmph, you don't want to give me this set." I ask you, did William's son take him into captivity? ”

Acedo was shocked when he heard this, and immediately explained this: "No, I definitely didn't do it. I, Acedo, can swear to God that no matter how stupid or foolish I am, I will never do such a thing, and this will be damned. ”

The king was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a few seconds, he said, "So it's really not you?" ”

Arsaido bowed again and again, and replied very respectfully: "I dare not hide anything in front of Your Majesty. I was a jerk in the early years, and I did catch some kids to sell! But that's limited to the children of the poor, and they can't support them anyway, so it's better to sell them to someone else to raise, that's what I thought at the time. Later, Duke Connor reprimanded me, and I felt very guilty, I have never done such a hurtful thing in these years, and I swear in the name of my ancestors that if there is a lie, the sky will not strike and thunder and die! ”

The king nodded, looked up in thought, and said, "Well, I believe you when you say that. It's just that in our kingdom, who would be so bold as to dare to touch William's children. ”

Asaido replied, "Your Majesty, according to the reports of many ministers, the Tubisi people have been active in our kingdom in recent years. They mingle with the ranks of the caravans, lurking in various parts of our kingdom, secretly doing things that are not in sight. Judging by the situation last year and this year, the loss of children is getting worse and worse all over the kingdom, and if I guessed correctly, it should be these evil Tubis who did it. These barbarians are still unwilling to accept the defeat of hundreds of years ago, and it seems that they are going to make a comeback, and Your Majesty should be the place to do it as soon as possible! ”

"Huh!" The king sat back on the throne and sneered: "Just by their Tubis? It's just a bunch of clowns who jump off the beam, and we can pinch them to death at any time! ”

Asaido flattered again and again, "That's that, Your Majesty the King is wise and powerful, and forgive these barbarians and dare not act rashly." ”

"That's it!" The king changed his hypocritical attitude and said bluntly: "Acedo, you should be a little more peaceful when you go back, don't always send people to pretend to be thieves and make trouble everywhere, just do it in moderation, otherwise I will be unkind to you." ”

Asaido was shocked into a cold sweat, and he didn't deny it, but replied: "Your Majesty, you must reflect on it after you go back." ”

The king nodded, waved at him, and said, "All right, then you can stand down first." ”

"Your Majesty!" After saying that, Asaido bowed three times, and then left the hall in a hurry.

As soon as Acedo walked on his front foot, Duke Connor appeared in front of the king through the side door.

The king changed his seat, faced Connor, and said, "You hear me, don't you?" William's child really wasn't his doing, don't you think? ”

"Hmm!" Connor nodded, and said thoughtfully: "The Tubisi people have indeed become more and more arrogant in the past two years, and one thing Acedo said is very right, we should be on guard against them as soon as possible." ”

When Connor emphasized this, the king became more concerned. He hesitated and said, "Really? But we also have our troubles now, this tax is gradually increasing every year, how can we build more knights without money? You can't force those nobles to donate, right? This can easily lead to chaos in the world! ”

Connor nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, forcing the nobles to donate their belongings will definitely not work. Otherwise, Your Majesty, the next time a nobleman wants to show his loyalty to the kingdom, let them donate money directly to the kingdom's treasury. His Majesty can give them a little favor, such as occasionally bestowing them a few titles, so that more people will follow suit, and the treasury will definitely gain a lot of revenue. ”

When he heard that it would increase the revenue of the treasury, the king naturally readily agreed.

So, from this day on, the knight kingdom entered the era of selling lords and officials. It's just that this method has accelerated the decay of the kingdom more and more, and those who have obtained the title by donation, after obtaining the land, will intensify the looting of the people, while scraping together more gold coins to buy higher titles.

The kingdom's treasury did get a great fortune by relying on this method, but this wealth was not turned into funds for the formation of the knights, but became the king's private property, which the king squandered endlessly.
