Chapter 033: Large Town
"Team Yang. Since you are their king, except for the fortress and this town. Do you own any other territories? ”
Hearing Chai Lingxue's question, Yang Jiangong shook his head, "The Loer Cardan people are a declining nation, and there are only these at present. ”
"Why not expand?" Shen Sijing, a beautiful woman, interjected and came in, which was exactly what Chai Lingxue, Huang Yizhou, and Zheng Minyu wanted to know.
Yang Jiangong smiled indifferently and said the problem in front of him, which should be regarded as a literacy for several reincarnations, "Nominally, Lol Cardan is the territory of the Camelot Kingdom, and only the king has the right to start a war, otherwise it will attract the siege of other lords." Therefore, it is not advisable to start a war on the periphery. And starting a war is not as simple as imagined, the war is not over in a short time, in addition to strong logistics, it also needs a steady stream of gold coins. There's no need to hide it from you, the relationship between the town of Lorkadan and the kingdom of Komelot is already on the verge of danger, and now it is known that the werewolves and ogres are on the verge of making a move. The worst problem was that the town of Lol Cardin was in financial trouble, and there was no money on the books to pay the soldiers for the next month's salary. ”
I don't know if I don't listen, and I'm shocked when I hear it.
A few reincarnators did not expect that the lord who seemed to have infinite scenery on his face and held great power would have to face so many problems.
"Without a salary, will the soldiers mutiny?" The historical knowledge in his mind made Huang Yizhou realize the consequences of not being able to pay military salaries.
Yang Jiangong glanced at Huang Yizhou appreciatively and explained to him with a smile. "The Radiant Legion, unlike the soldiers in other territories, is simply to earn money to support their families. They regard loyalty as a lifelong honor, so they will not rebel even if they are not paid. ”
Yang Jiangong did not say a sentence later, "Even if the loyalty of the army is very high, if it continues like this in the long run, it will not be a way after all." In the end, no one wants to go to war hungry. ”
Since the development of Lol Cardin into a large town, it has lost its appearance as a village and a small town. Before the stone wall was built, the town of Lorkadan was defended by erecting a wall out of excavated earth and inserting pointed pillars into it.
After entering the gate for a distance, when he came to the residents, Yang Jiangong specially reminded, "Don't move around casually at night in the lower city, there are not only assassins lurking in Lol Cardan at the moment, but also werewolves who have transformed into human appearances." ”
The atmosphere of the large towns of Lohr Cardin is the Lower Town and the Upper Town.
"It stinks." A team of town guards cleared the road in front, and a fishy smell made Shen Sijing pinch her nose and speed up her pace.
The lower town is full of cowsheds and pigsties, thatched huts and handicrafts, mills, and some places reserved for orchards and vineyards. Although it supplied the entire town with daily necessities, the disadvantage was that the beasts and donkeys were used as means of transportation, making the streets narrow, and some corners were dirty and crowded.
Passing by the intersection of the lower and upper towns, it belongs to the most prosperous part of the town.
Slave traders, coopers, blacksmiths, trappers, and peddlers of all kinds were active here, attracting both the poor and the rich.
But Yang Jiangong saw a shortcoming from here at a glance, the closer the houses and shops were, the greater the risk of fire. The supply of water is also limited. In many towns, servants and housewives had to line up at wells with buckets and jars.
"There are also some elevated canals to be built here."
Entering the Upper Town, where you are only eligible to enter by paying taxes, as the streets become tidy, there are more town guards.
Especially after Lol Cardin owned a trading port, wealthy merchants began to settle here and build large houses. Some luxury shops, goldsmiths and silversmiths began to live next to basic craftsmen.
Uptown already has three public baths, a theater and a gladiatorial arena.
Many towns do not have a single bathhouse, which makes Lol Cardin on par with most cities in terms of amenities.
"Uptown is very safe, except for tonight, you can move around as you like day and night, and you don't usually get into trouble. If you have any problems, come to me at the lord's residence. ”
In line with the purpose of letting the reincarnators adapt to their abilities, Yang Jiangong not only set a standard for Chai Lingxue, Huang Yizhou, Zheng Minyu, and Shen Sijing to receive living expenses from the lord's mansion every month. Accommodation was also arranged for them in the upper town.
At the same time, the town guard officers were warned to take good care of them.
Take Duan Xiaorou back to the lord's mansion in the large town of Lol Cardin.
Archon Balin, Saint Catherine, Knight Captain Achilles, and several other town officials who Yang Jiangong did not know and could not name arrived at the lord's hall at the same time.
Today is the night of the full moon, and it's about how to hunt down werewolf spies and assassins sent by King Camelot. In this meeting, Yang Jiangong just ended with a certain unquestionable tone, "Bahrain, today is the night of the full moon." Gather all the professional soldiers, and we're going to search for werewolf spies and assassins in a carpet way, and not a single one of Lolcadan's enemies will be spared. And keep in mind the ...... A well-thought-out plan of action with room for flexibility in space and time so that it can adapt to changing circumstances. Remember, the qiē we make in advance is not absolute. What you have to do is that under no circumstances do you need to doubt my commands. ”
The charisma of a lord stems from his strong self-confidence.
Personality charm usually refers to the sum of a person's personality, temperament, abilities and other characteristics. If you make this charm down to the details, it always goes hand in hand with eye contact. Therefore, when talking to his subordinates, Yang Jiangong would not forget to look into everyone's eyes one by one.
Calm, careful, brave, majestic, fair, responsible. When making decisions, Yang Jiangong should first believe his own words, so that it can achieve the desired effect, "For Loer Cardin!" Bear down! If necessary, as lords, the gods will also bleed! ”
Bahrain, Achilles and others were infected by Yang Jiangong's words, and their faces were filled with blood and excitement at the same time. With a uniform movement, they unanimously drew the cross sword at their waists, the blade of which was facing upwards, and swore with the side of the sword against the bridge of their noses, "Loyalty and courage are our rules!" Die in battle, throw your blood, and glorify my body! Glory Lore Cardin!! ”
Bahrain knows exactly what to do. He just glanced at Duan Xiaorou with a curious gaze.
And Catherine's eyes when she looked at this woman of unknown origin were even more complicated, especially when she heard Yang Jiangong's announcement, "This woman, she is my wife." You have to treat her with all the respect you have with me. ”
This sentence made her expressionless, in fact, her heart was mixed, even turbulent, and even trembling slightly.
30 years ago, Yang Jiangong saved Catherine's life by sleeping with the elixir of immortality, but inadvertently caused her development to stay forever until she was 14 years old.
From Catherine's point of view, the Radiant Emperor could have many wives, and that was nothing.
It's just that compared to the woman in front of her, she has a curvy, bumpy figure. This worries Catherine that the Radiant will never treat her as a woman, but only as a girl.
