With this opening, the little princess of Adelaide next to her was suddenly stupid, it turned out that the noble son of the "evil and crazy" opposite was the same as himself, a female. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Dorus. Lambert sternly stopped the little sunfish's arrogant speech, and then said to the countess and the little princess: "Under the protection of the court guards and the contemptible people of Tarsus, your mother and son will set off tomorrow to the place where the great patron and the purple Caesar are.

"Thank you Dorus, please wait for me to say hello to Caesar's health when I return." The little sunfish said with a glass of wine.

"The order of the great guarantor, you will also go back with me." As a result, Lambert replied with a grim expression.

"Why......" Agnes looked surprised and reluctant, she hadn't had enough fun in Seleucia!

But the requirements of the chief guarantor could not be violated, and the next day in the team, the little sunfish pouted, and from time to time took out a pen and paper from the saddle bag to scribble and correct, temporarily adding and deleting the plan that Gao Wen told her to complete.

And what she saw along the way, the little Austrian princess Adelaide was as surprised and shocked as the newly liberated slave Wen Ruomina on a mule: the former had come from Austria, and many things she had never seen in her homeland before; And the latter came from the Adigai Mountains on the other side of the ocean, and had just stepped out of the bound workshop and went to the court of Tarsus with the big man.

The little princess was the first to see that Alalmanburg had built a long embankment along the coast, and on the embankment there were several tower windmills lined up, waving round shovels under the agitation of the wind, constantly pumping away the swamps and sea water on both sides, and the two sides had been planted with wheat, buckwheat and long grass, and their men and horses walked over the high embankment, with vast fields on one side and endless ocean on the other, which, according to Lambert, was a swamp connected to the sea a year ago, Now tens of thousands of people have carved out land here.

"Once the 'Ladder Workshop' is completed, a lot of things will be made in the entire Aralmanburg area and sold at the Akoum market." Lambert said, pointing to the group of workshops up the hill over there.

Adelaide's mouth grew up, and when she arrived at the Akoum Bazaar, she saw that it was very prosperous, and around the four sides of the Municipal Commissioner's office building, there were three layers of tents and stalls inside and out, one for food, one for jewelry, and one for daily necessities, and there were many boats tied to wooden stakes by the sea, swinging slightly in the blue waters. Further north, the road connecting the valley to the Mut River is flanked by saffron plantations, which are owned by the "heretical Paulians": the Pope is said to be condemning this sect, but the people are still living well in Seleucia, and many have become rich by cultivating saffron and farming and reforestation, although their stronghold is further away in the valley, not on the Adelaide route.

In the evening, the group arrived in Seleucia, and Adelaide saw the magnificent hospital and St. Paul's College in the twilight, and the streets of the Guanyi district below were full of pilgrims, students, and merchants, and rows of large warehouses were bustling with people in front of the shops, where many goods from the Levant, Egypt and Kiev could be bought.

In the end, even Countess Date could not hold back, and bought a glass worship vase from Cairo, which the Crescentists made for Christians.

"When the Great Guarantor came to Seleucia, the population of the city was only 4,000 people, but now it has tripled, and it will immediately follow the perimeter of the great hospital, and build a larger stone-walled outer city to enclose the rapidly expanding city." When Lambert had finished his introduction, he politely took his leave, and settled the Earl's mother and daughter in the VIP building in the inn area.

At the door of the building, the little sunfish also followed, "Hmph, you have to pay attention." That Austrian princess is obviously in the mood for spring, and I see that she is glaring at you all the way, trying to seduce you. ”

Smoke rose from the chimneys everywhere, and farmers drove their flocks to the countryside on both sides of the street, and Lambert stepped on the gravel pavement and said disapprovingly to the little sunfish, "Even if the other party had such thoughts, you should not spread it all over the world." Leaving aside the fact that my wife, Hetomia, will feel suspicious when she finds out, which is also detrimental to the reputation of Countess Date's mother and daughter. There are some unnecessary things that are better to be eliminated in the bud, which is beneficial to both parties. It's like if there is suddenly an Adigai girl next to you, and it will be embarrassing to let the big guarantor know that you have a slave in private. ”

Listening to the other party's serious reply, the little sunfish raised his eyebrows and stuck out his tongue, "I will keep it secret for you." ”

"I don't have any secrets that I need you to protect." Lambert said that he knew that the little sunfish would be staying in the old palace of the Seleucian Acropolis tonight, and asked her to meet him at the gate on time tomorrow.

When the group arrived at the city of Zephelim two days later, ready to rest for a short time before heading to Tarsus, across the river, Conrad and Guillaume were already present at Gawain's welcome banquet.

Some 35,000 pilgrim refugees who had fled after the defeat of Gangara (more than 10,000 had been sheltered since Anglas) were also temporarily settled on both sides of the Sidnus River. Most of the German-German and Frankish pilgrims did not even do any special work for them, but when they saw the majestic walls of the restored city of Tarsus, the barges shuttling in and out of the river harbor, the fertile soil and woods being developed on the shore, the beautiful Vasher in the foothills for soldiers and peasants, and when they heard that there was still a lot of idle land in Cilicia and Cappadocia, they flocked to the local Reformists and Brotherhoods to sign the contract for the Gospel of the Holy Father.

In this way, the 35,000 men almost eventually had less than 10,000 men willing to continue to follow the generalissimo of the court, the Archbishop of Milan, and the Duke of Aquitaine to the Holy Land. So while Gawain entertained these dignitaries, the magistrate of Andodat began to arrange for 20,000 new immigrants with a delegation of office clerks: Andodat's suggestion was that half of them should move to Sith County to cultivate or smelt iron, half to Kayseri to grant land to the border people, and half to farmers and half soldiers, so as to enrich the city defense there.

During the feast, Gawain and Anna also skillfully carried out diplomatic work, and finally the Archbishop of Milan Besser and the Generalissimo Conrad agreed to sign a commercial agreement between the city of Bari and Milan and Bologna on behalf of Salian Caesar Henry IV for the time being; As for Guillaume, Gawain promised him many times that Tarsus would be on the side of the Duke of Aquitaine in the dispute between him and Raymond's domain.

Guillaume was so moved that he also made a promise to Gawain: he would write to the deacon of the Bishopric of Montpellier, the port of Grande, asking him to provide a fixed quota of cargo ships to the port of Seleucia every year, including the long-coveted "Gahor canvas", which was produced only locally and was a very good sail for ships.
