The emperor's abrupt ambitions and aspirations, regardless of his lifetime, were completely inherited by the Gawain couple after his death. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Two days later, at the entrance to the stables of the palace in the city of Tarsus, the little sunfish found Gawain, "Hey, aren't you going to Meritane?" ”

She was still thinking about revenge on Wen Ruominna.

Gawain did not look back, but carefully brushed Sabina with a brush, and kept touching the mare's ears backwards, making her feel very comfortable, "The schedule is disrupted, and I have to meet here with the envoys of Cyprus, Marash, and Trabzon for the next year's military operations. Since the defeat of the Emperor, this group of people has come to me voluntarily, begging for peace with Tarsus. It is said that soon Laurisia and Filadofiam will each send their own envoys to ask for my mediation. ”

"yes, they're all afraid you'll be the next one to use against them." The little sunfish was a little unwilling but didn't dare to force it, after all, she knew that Gawain was sometimes more indulgent to her than Anna, but whatever she wanted, sooner or later she would satisfy her, "So that little prostitute from Adigai can continue to stay leisurely in the inner city of Meritene to deal with paperwork?" ”

"Why rush!" Gawain smiled back at this time, "Wen Ruomina is different from the others, but she was born as a slave, and she can't go anywhere except the court." So saying, the chief guarantor wiped the hot sweat from the sun on his forehead, and patted Sabina on the back, and the mare paced very neatly to the shade of the hut, where Quicksilver came over in great shape.

"What about the gap that the canal doesn't match? It is said that the distance between the original junction is a full 200 feet, which is very serious, and it may be necessary to re-excavate for a long time. ”

"Originally, I also wanted to deal with this matter as soon as possible. But little sunfish, you are now standing under the umbrella of your servant, and someone has brought you delicious pineapple sake. And if that group of Crescent Cult armed groups had started work in this weather, countless people would have died of heat stroke. So I'm going to wait until Anna gives birth, and then I'll work with you to solve this problem, and in this time you will have all the measuring tools ready. Just as Quicksilver came to his master, Gao Wenjing threw the brush into the jug at his feet, tore off the stuffy leather gloves and threw them into the arms of the Turkic servant next to him, signaling for him to brush it.

The snort of hay emanated from the pillars of the stables, and Gawain bent his strong neck and washed his hands in the jug hanging from it, and he wore a short shirt that barely covered his thick body, and the dripping of water splashed on his bronzed arms and strong chest in a fierce voice. The little sunfish rolled his eyes and turned away from his eyes, "It's not a big deal, is it?" I think you weren't some kind of philanthropist in a poor house, but you were all slave laborers, and you deserved such sympathy? ”

"Yes, I don't have useless kindness. Anna and Hetomia now often talk about equal rights for men and women, the former saying that she is good enough to manage a country's agriculture, business, finances and taxes, and the latter saying that she is good enough to compete with her husband Dorus. Lambert was on an equal footing. And you little sunfish, always self-respecting that surpasses the engineering and mechanical wisdom of men. But have you ever thought about it......" Gawain walked over and slightly twisted Agnes' round gold-rimmed collar, Agnes shook in fright, but Gawain quickly let go, "Agnes, this dress you wear to go out will take three months to weave it with the twenty best women under Ingrid, and then your annual salary will be three hundred and fifty gold coins, and the annual salary of those female workers, even if they are skilled, is only eight gold coins." ”

"I ...... by Ability"

"I mean, what will you do when those women workers have awakened to equality and know how to ask for three hundred and fifty gold coins a year? How to maintain your present transcendent status, beautiful and noble Miss Plani. Now I give these weavers eight gold coins a year, and they will treat me like a god. In the same way, in Tarsus, both the Greek lady and the Adigai woman regarded the Wen Ruomina, whom you despise, as a model to be emulated, for she was a slave by birth, but now she was a court attendant, holding the keys to Caesar's closet and all the chores, and a full hundred and twenty gold coins a year, and could dress as elegantly and nobly as all the female officials. Gawain interrupted her and asked sarcastically.

Agnes pursed her lips, indicating that she had nothing to say.

"So, ah, the slavery of the armed regiments that dug the canal is only a stopgap measure. I'm going to wait until this summer is over and then resume their identity. Because slaves are comparatively the most unwise mode of production. ”

"I want to hear about it."

"Agnes, if you were a slave, would you work hard for your master?"

"Won't ......"

"Then Agnes, if you are a slave owner, will you do everything possible to improve the lives of slaves?"

"I won't ...... it"

"So, how is it possible for a group of people who enjoy a minimum living allowance and maintain a minimum enthusiasm for work to promote the development of production and engineering in the country of Tarsus?"

"And what is the purpose of your constant purchase of slaves from Nubia and Adigai, as well as from Bohemia and Dalmatia?"

"It's very simple, like Armenia and the Crescent Armed Regiment, it can be regarded as buying a ladder of manpower reserves, and the reason is similar to gold. Wouldn't it be nice for the Adigai people, for example, that they could get five or six gold coins a year in Inglana's workshop, which was already two or three times better than their original life, and that they were Christians, so I didn't have to take any coercive measures at all, so that they could willingly board ships and come to my country, and wait until they had mastered the skilled mechanics and had more needs, and then I would slowly satisfy them? ”

"What a greedy and treacherous Varyag brown bear!" Agnes reprimanded with her tongue out, and turned away.

At nightfall, in the palace Gawain met the respectful Cypriot envoy, who was faster than anyone else, because it was only a short sea route away.

"I think that with the previous sneak attack of your Viceroy Grand Duke, it is equivalent to a complete war. My husband, immediately leave three brigades in the country, and then two brigades will land on the island and fight you to the end. After the palace curtain was lowered, Anna sat upright, holding the golden scepter of wheat in her hand, and was furious.

The envoy's buttocks suddenly lifted, and he stretched out his hands in a completely pleading gesture, but he still had luck on his lips, "But with the military strength of your two brigades, it is impossible to completely defeat us." Moreover, our Governor has secretly signed a peace treaty with His Royal Highness Tanfred, Regent of Antioch, so that if war breaks out, your castle on the coast of Tripoli will no longer be peaceful. ”

"It's terrible, I didn't expect Apsomatus to sign a peace treaty with Tantarred in the blink of an eye, and sure enough, it was only right for the thief to go to the robber." Gao Wen, who was sitting next to him, spoke mockingly. (To be continued.) )
