When Arold walked out of the dungeon, the jailers hurriedly stood up straight and stood at the door of the cell without squinting, while the personal attendants hurriedly wrapped a cloak for Arrod, because Arold's clothes were in tatters, and people who didn't know how to do it thought that the Earl had been attacked by something.

"Ah, that's comfortable."

Arold immersed his whole body in a bucket filled with steaming water, after the saddle horse fatigue, being able to take a hot bath was simply an incomparable enjoyment, thinking of this, he felt that a public bathhouse should be built in the territory, so that the commoners could also enjoy this kind of fun, but I heard that the terrible plague of later generations was spread from the public bathhouse, which made the later Europa people talk about bathing color, so let later people talk about the Middle Ages, they feel that both nobles and commoners are stinky, In fact, as long as we take good epidemic prevention measures, we can still avoid this kind of disaster.

Thinking like this, Arold lay on the edge of the barrel in the hot steam and fell asleep, until the personal attendant came in to change the water and woke him up, Arold hurriedly wiped his body, yawned and returned to his bedroom to rest, this sleep did not wake up until noon the next day, even the commander on the march only laid a blanket on the ground to rest, where can it compare to his warm and comfortable bed, it is no wonder that as long as the slightly wealthy nobles are very disgusted with fighting in person, when the Duke of Mason and the Duke of Saxony went to war, Many vassals preferred to pay a war tax rather than fulfill their feudal duties.

"Lord Earl, here is the proposed list of retinues. Please take a look. When Arold sat on his large comfortable bed with his personal attendant on his lap in the morning, the courtiers were already gathered around, and Arold worked by the bedside on his first day back to his court.

"Well, Melinda can follow me as a maid, Ron as my chief squire is in charge of guarding the knights of the Inner House, and Martin is in charge of the daily work of the handymen, this time we may have to stay in Mason for a long time, and we need to be prepared in all aspects." Arold spoke to the monk of record as he shoved some meat into his mouth during the interval. Chew it up.

"Yes, Lord Count. We'll do it. Brother Elvet hurriedly agreed.

"By the way, how's the gift for Yves going?" Arold nodded, suddenly remembering this important question, and asked Brother Elvet.

"Ugh. This. Brother Elvet looked left and right. There was a strange fluctuation in his eyes. Seeing his appearance, Arold understood, waved to the others, and ordered them all to retreat.

"Say it. What's going on again? ”

"My lord, there are some problems with our finances." Brother Elvet said to Arold in embarrassment.

"There was a problem, I remember when I left, there was still plenty of money in the vault." Arold said with some surprise.

"Yes, we did have a lot of money back then, but Lord Earl, you also know that the cost of the war was very large, and you have raised such a large army, and now that the toll tax has been abolished, we can't make ends meet." Brother Elvet complained to Arold with a bitter face, and the expenses for the retinues and courtiers in Arold's court alone made Brother Elvet stretched, and in order to fill the vacancy, Brother Elvet had to borrow usury from merchants, but even this was already the limit, and seeing that it was no longer possible to hide it, he told Arold the truth.

"As for our specialty, the newly developed amber mine, hasn't some rough stones already been shipped, and as long as we sell them, won't we be able to make money?" Arold did not expect that his territory was already in deficit, and he thought that he was very wealthy, which made him lift the quilt and jump out of bed.

"The rough traders didn't pay much for them, and even if they sold them, they didn't have much money, and now some merchants are asking if they can use their fur trade privileges to pay off their debts." Brother Elvet told Arrod.

"Fur trade privileges, hiss, how does it make me feel like I'm being calculated." Arrod's brows furrowed, and the face of Jeff's cunning businessman appeared in his mind, could it be that this profiteer was making trouble behind his back, but even so, he didn't have any evidence, the prices in the market were completely set by the merchants themselves, it seemed that he was patronizing the expansion of military strength, but he forgot the most basic way, the economy is the solid foundation of strength.

"Lord Count, for the sake of the present day, only the Abbey of St. Fonso can solve our problems." Brother Elvet looked at Arrod's frowning and felt that the time was ripe, and took a few steps closer to Arold and said.

"St. Fonso's Monastery, I'm afraid they don't have much money to lend us." Arold thought that the Elvet monastery had let him borrow money from the monastery, and he should know that the monastery at this time would also act as a lending house, after all, under the power of faith, the church was often richer than the secular aristocracy.

"No, Lord Earl, you misunderstood, do you know the truth? There is a treasure map in the monastery of St. Fonso, where is the treasure hidden by the abbots of the past, as long as you get the treasure map, the treasure of the monastery of St. Fonso is in hand, and the financial problem is solved. Brother Elvet suggested.

"Treasure map? Ha, do you think putting hope on something ethereal will solve our problems? Arrod smiled contemptuously, even if there is a treasure map, can he definitely find the treasure, if so, why has no one taken it out for so many years, he shook his head when he thought of this.

"yes, it's a pity." Brother Elvet bowed his head in disappointment, he probably didn't know that the treasure map had been taken by Brother Robert, and that it could no longer be found in the monastery of St. Fonso.

"I won the battle in Rostock, I captured some armor, weapons and supplies, and when the time comes, let them sell those things to pay off the debt, and I will think of another way." Arold walked to the window, where the castle barracks were located, some soldiers were being trained, and when Mecklenburg expanded its military, it would also create a large number of soldiers who were not engaged in production, putting pressure on the economy of the territory.

"Yes, then I'll step back first." Brother Elvet bent down and carefully stepped back from the bedroom.

"I didn't expect that the richest thing in this era turned out to be the church, but in that era people needed spiritual sustenance, oh, there is, why didn't I think of this trick." Suddenly, Arold slapped his thigh and thought of a brilliant idea, although this idea is suspected of fraud, but in this era and this territory, his words are the law, who can punish him.

Thinking of this, Arrod couldn't bear the order of his personal attendant, called Harvey over, this matter can only be handed over to the closest people, the personal attendant trotted to the door of Harvey's room, and mustered up the courage to knock on Harvey's door, this lady's getting up anger is notoriously terrible.

"Ms. Harvey is here." When the personal attendant appeared covering his dark right eye, Arrod knew that Harvey must have started to get angry, but now he couldn't care much about it.

"You're looking for me?" Harvey asked with an unhappy look on his face, rubbing his sleepy eyes.

"Yes, I'll let you go and help me find some miracle item merchants." Arold said to Harvey.

"What? When did you become superstitious about those liars? Harvey was amused by Arrod's words, who he rarely even prayed for, and that it was just a hoax by some cunning Jews for a living, and only the stupid villagers would believe it.

"No, you don't understand, I need you to help me find something special, and then this, like this~~~~." Arold leaned into Harvey's ear and instructed her to carry out this mysterious task.

"You're really cunning, well, I happen to know the location of some miracle merchants, I'll let someone do it, it only takes a few days to get it done, wait for my good news." Harvey wrapped her graceful body in a fine woolen blanket, and she didn't even wear anything inside, which shows how hurried the attendant was when she was called.

A few days later, on a whim, Arold invited the people of the territory to go hunting in the forests of Mecklenburg, as usual, Arold rode his horse and led his hounds, and chatted with the nobles and members of the merchants' guild, and soon Arold had good luck to hunt a few rabbits and an elk, so they were together on a lake next to the forest, and let the servants set up tents and set up bonfires, and skinned and roasted the prey, and the fat flesh of the prey dripped, dripping with oil, dripping on the bonfire and making a sizzling sound, Seeing the mouths of the crowd, Arold saw Ha Lu Ha Da Lu laughing, he instructed the attendants to share these prey generously with knives, and everyone ate the delicious meat while loudly praising Arold's generosity, but at this time they found that Arold just smiled at them, and did not touch the meat, which made everyone feel very strange, isn't this meat delicious?

"Your Excellency Earl, you have so generously shared our prey, but why don't you taste it? This makes us ashamed and embarrassed. A Germanic nobleman who had just moved to Mecklenburg asked Arold curiously.

"Well, that's right, last night I received the apparition of the Virgin Mary in my sleep." Arold sat on a stone solemnly, he was dressed in a noble hunting costume and looked majestic, and the others were very surprised when they heard Arold's words, dreaming of the apparition of the Virgin Mary was not an ordinary thing, and they couldn't help but gather around to hear it clearly.
