"Fill the Roman Youth Army with full numbers, and train 2 more Roman Youth Army." Qin Feng looked at his gold coin and said. After the war, he received a lot of gold, not counting the proceeds from the sale of broken copper and iron, and the number of displaced people increased explosively during this time, enough for him to maintain two more Roman youth teams. As for the levies, he felt that unless they were going to fight in the field, the two teams were enough, and the townspeople in the city could also be used as javelinmen if necessary.
…………………….
The dinner was held before the sun went down, and although the temperature dropped a lot after the sun set, it was nothing to the Northlanders who lived in the north. Men, women, old people, children, laughter echoed throughout the town, and only the soldiers who stood on the city walls watched with envy the lights inside the city.
"What do you see, boy, what's so beautiful," the old man sitting on the side slapped him on the head with a smile, and scolded with a smile: "The young master will not treat us badly, and there will be delicious food waiting for you after the shift change tomorrow." "The veterans also came over like this, how could he not understand the minds of these recruits, but he was also a little envious of those who did not draw lots, but could go to the carnival.
"It's all the centurion, if it weren't for his bad hands, we would have been like them." The soldiers on one side gossiped about the centurion.
"Haha, the soldier's complaint made the other soldiers laugh."
The veterans and recruits sat together, laughing and talking about everything, bragging about their glorious journey for a while, and full of yellow jokes for a while, which made those recruits envious and blushing.
The centurion stood up and kicked the complaining recruit, and said with a smile: "Envy is envy, but the essential work has been done for me, if something happens, the young master will not let you go." ”
"Yes, centurion." Jokes aside, they will still strictly follow the orders of the centurion.
"Indeed, the centurion is not wrong in saying this." Qin Feng walked up to the city wall with the guards and Luo Wei laughing, and when he heard what the centurion said, he said with a smile: "You don't have to envy your companions, I brought you food and wine, of course, only a small amount, I don't want you to fall off the city wall drunk." Qin Feng beckoned behind him, and the servants carried a piece of Kuang Kuang's food onto the city wall.
"Oh....hahahaha...........ha The soldiers laughed loudly, and suddenly they didn't know who was leading the way, and shouted: "Young master, take a sip, young master take a sip...... " The other soldiers did the same, and also shouted.
Qin Feng smiled speechlessly, "I realized that it was probably a mistake for me to come here tonight." ”
"Of course, if you don't drink, young master, we won't let you go back." Lowell laughed and interjected to the side, holding a full glass of wine in his hand, as if to say, don't think about going back if you don't drink.
When the coaxing soldiers saw that their commander said the same thing, they suddenly became even more coaxing.
Qin Feng was speechless, he was enough for this "wallgrass" guy.
"Okay, I'll just have a drink, but not too much, there are those guys in the city who like to drink me as much as you do, I don't want to sleep outside tonight, this ghost weather can freeze people to death." Qin Feng said and took the wine glass from Luo Wei's hand and shouted, "You have to drink with me." ”
"Oh.........." the soldiers cheered, and the servants quickly poured their hands and feet full of wine for each soldier.
Qin Feng raised his glass: "Tonight is a night for us to welcome victory, the previous war has left us, although we have paid a great price, but in the end we have won." He said, "However, the threat of the orcs is still threatening us all the time, so I hope that you will not forget the sacrifice of yesterday and the sacrifice of your comrades." Today's feast is not over, it's just a celebration of the next battle, I don't want those savage orcs to cross this wall, can you do it? Finally, Qin Feng yelled.
"Can ....." The soldiers shouted.
"Cheers........." Qin Feng shouted with a laugh.
Qin Feng hadn't touched alcohol since he came to this world, and he didn't like this kind of thing now, thinking that these things could make people's minds stagnate. This is very different from him on earth, but at that time he was just a small clerk, and his daily quiet work had already made his thinking rigid, and wine was perhaps the best "forgetfulness water". But now he is different, every day when he opens his eyes, he feels that he has a lot to do, even in his spare time he only likes to drink tea instead of wine.
Qin Feng was about to leave, and he agreed to meet Shilina and Sirigon, from the Renault family, after the dinner, although he really wanted to stay a little longer.
Looking back at Luo Wei, who was drinking with the soldiers, Luo Wei understood the meaning in Qin Feng's eyes, walked behind Qin Feng and said, "Young Master, I won't go back, I prefer to stay with my soldiers than to meet with those nobles." ”
"Hmm..."Qin Feng pondered for a while, and said with relief: "Okay, if I don't like you, don't go." He looked back at the soldiers who were drinking, and said, "Take care of them, don't let them drink too much, we are not in as good a situation as we imagined." ”
"Yes, young master...."Luo Wei nodded gratefully, said goodbye to the young master, and walked into the soldiers again.
Qin Feng looked at Luo Wei's completely happy smile at this time, as if he had an understanding, or some people prefer to stay away from complicated things, originally he wanted to withdraw Luo Wei from the army system through this meeting and act as his representative in the future, but Luo Wei, who discovered his intentions, told him in such a tactful way that he was most suitable and liked.
"Forget it...."Qin Feng left with his servant.
Looking at Qin Feng's departing figure, Luo Wei nodded gratefully in Qin Feng's direction, he knew that this was his chance. But he is not young anymore, and he wants to stay in his favorite army for a lifetime in a limited number of years than what he doesn't like, and perhaps protecting the young master for a lifetime is the best reward.
Qin Feng was already a little drunk when he returned to the mansion, although he repeatedly shirked, but he still couldn't withstand the enthusiasm of the soldiers and townspeople, so he drank some.
"Young Master," the butler gently pushed the door in, and said, "Miss Shirina and the Knight of Sirican are ready to come to the mansion and wait for your reception. ”
"Let them wait, wait for me to finish taking a shower, let them wait for me in the study," Qin Feng said, not that he was deliberately neglecting, but that he was really uncomfortable with his alcohol, and it might be really rude to meet them with a body of alcohol.
"Yes, young master." The butler nodded and left.
This made Qin Feng a little surprised, the old butler has always been very aristocratic, even when he is fighting, he has to wear neat clothes. Qin Feng has been said many times in private, although Qin Feng regards all his words as wind in his ears, but he still understands the housekeeper's dead brain.
It seems that the old butler is also very dissatisfied with the series of changes caused by the Renault family's loss of the Cold Iron Fortress.
