Chapter 345: A Way to Make Money
"Really?" Li Huailin immediately asked, "What way?" β
"Stupid, don't you have a knighthood, doesn't the empire want to pay you?" Hongchen Yanyu said.
"That's right,, who will do it without salary!" Li Huailin said, "But I didn't receive it, I was cheated by the system?" β
"I ......" Hongchen Yanyu raised his forehead, "You are a nobleman with a fief, isn't the tax of the fief your salary?" β
"I'll rub!" Li Huailin slapped his thigh, "You are so witty." β
"It's the beginning of September now, and the autumn harvest should be in the near future, and now you go to the fiefdom to collect taxes, don't you have money?" Hongchen Yanyu said.
"Great, it's bursting." Li Huailin said immediately.
"Marshal, I'll go and arrange for the team to set off at once." McCann here was moved by Li Huailin and immediately said that he would definitely do a good job.
"You wait." Li Huailin immediately grabbed McCann, who was about to leave.
"What's the matter, Marshal?" McCann asked, looking back.
"After thinking about it carefully, I'd better go with you, after all, it's my own fiefdom, so I always have to take a look." Li Huailin said.
"Oh?" Li Huailin's speed of changing the hexagram was really a bit too fast, but McCann naturally didn't say anything, and immediately nodded, "Of course it's good." β
"Okay, let's go, let's go." Li Huailin was already impatient to grab the money.
"Get more back, the guild doesn't have enough funds." The red dust and smoke rain here said immediately.
"No problem, look at me." Li Huailin said with a smile.
The two sides acted separately, Hongyue took a few people to the shop pΓΉ, and Li Huailin took Leticia directly to the temporary garrison camp of the Second Army outside the city.
When Li Huailin arrived at the barracks, a banquet was being held in the barracks here, after all, the reward conference had just ended. The second legion's performance in this war is simply amazing, and the rewards are naturally the most, the generals above are basically awarded officials if they can be knighted, and those who can be knighted will be knighted, Li Huailin, the commander of the legion, is directly promoted to duke, and the soldiers below are also all kinds of bounties. It's a celebration of nature.
Because it is a temporary camp, the facilities are simple, all the soldiers are basically sitting on the ground, drinking wine and eating meat, and there is a high platform in the middle of the field, on which there are now several dancing girls performing, a joyful scene.
However, Li Huailin, who saw this situation, was really unhappy, because he didn't know when this banquet was going to start. Maybe everyone will get drunk like this, and then it will be another day, and they will be in a hurry to collect money from the territory, so how can they have time to open a party.
"Marshal!" "Marshal!" A few soldiers here also saw Li Huailin who was coming over, and now Li Huailin is officially awarded the rank of marshal, so everyone no longer calls the corps commander but calls him marshal.
"Damn!" Li Huailin didn't say a word, and walked directly onto the stage with a gloomy face. The soldiers next to him also got out of the way, although they didn't know what was going on, but it seemed that the marshal was not in a good mood. Originally, everyone went up to toast, but now no one dares to go up in this situation.
The music on stage also stopped immediately. Everyone saw Li Huailin on the stage, and the dancing girls above were immediately pushed to the edge of the stage, and the entire military camp was quiet in an instant.
Li Huailin stood on the stage and glanced at his troops, and then sighed: "You guys, do you have itchy skin if you don't smoke for a day?" β
The "......" soldiers immediately lowered their wine glasses, and it seemed that the commander was really not very happy.
"The new empire has just been created. With so much to do, you guys still have time to drink and have fun here, do you know what the attitude of the new empire of the national team around you is now? What if the Orcs and Demons attack in a big way, and our soldiers are still sleeping because they are drunk? Are you worthy of rewarding your new king? Is it worthy of the thousands of ordinary people of the empire? Are you worthy of me? You say. Li Huailin said solemnly.
All the soldiers immediately understood what Li Huailin meant. They all lowered their heads, not daring to look at Li Huailin at all.
"What do the military regulations say, can you drink and have fun during war? Although the internal enemy has been defeated now, did I say that it is over? When you arrive at the new station, after the handover is completed, you will have a banquet, and I will not stop you, but now you will have a banquet, don't you take me seriously? Li Huailin said with a heavy sigh.
"Marshal." McCann next to him came up and said, "Don't be angry, everyone is also happy for a while, a little carried away." β
"Who proposed the banquet?" Li Huailin asked.
"This ......" Everyone looked left and right, not that they didn't want to say that they really didn't know, everyone thought that after the reward, it would be a banquet, and no one proposed that it would be held like this.
"Alright, McCann, just pull a few people out and fight 30 military sticks." Li Huailin said with a wave of his hand.
"Pull a few people?" McCann looked at Li Huailin with a surprised face, what is the situation?
"Stupid, I have to do this? What do you want? Li Huailin turned his head and shouted to the soldiers below, "Now I want to beat the military sticks and give me 100 people." β
"Me! I'm guilty! I violated the discipline of the army, please marshal hit me! β
"Me too! Please marshal hit me! β
"I will be punished!"
The crowd was excited, and the soldiers below were all ashamed and indignant when they heard Li Huailin's words, and when they heard Li Huailin's words that he was going to beat someone, basically all the soldiers raised their hands and shouted at Li Huailin.
"Well, yes, that's my troops." Li Huailin nodded, "But it's not okay to beat all of you, today we are going to go to the station, how can you march if you are all injured, but if you don't beat you, you don't have a long memory, you must fight, come, everyone who fights will go to Vice Marshal McCann to sign up, the first 100 lucky spectators...... Oh, no, it's the soldier who gets 30 sticks, on a first-come, first-served basis. β
"Vice Marshal, quick, I'll sign up!" The soldiers standing on the edge of the platform immediately rushed in the direction of McCann, and the soldiers behind also rushed in the direction of McCann, drowning McCann in one fell swoop.
"Where's Villanica?" Li Huailin casually grabbed a soldier who was rushing towards McCann and said.
"General Villanica is in the camp over there, Marshal." The soldier replied immediately.
"Oh, got it, there you go." Li Huailin nodded.
Walking into the big camp that the soldier was referring to, sure enough, there was a banquet inside, but there were relatively few people, that is, a few generals that Li Huailin was familiar with, of course, they were also more civilized, everyone was just drinking and eating meat together, and they didn't want to be so chaotic outside.
Seeing Li Huailin appear at the door of the camp, several generals who didn't know what was going on outside stood up very happily, and some of them were about to toast Li Huailin with wine glasses.
"Marshal!"
"Marshal, I salute you."
"There's no time for drinking." Li Huailin, who was here, calmly passed by the general, walked to the main seat at the front that was already empty, sat down and said, "Everyone pay attention, go and prepare to leave for the new station immediately." β
"Now?" Villanica, who was next to her, stood up and asked.
"Hmm." Li Huailin nodded, "Everyone will sort out their own troops and set off in half an hour." β
"Marshal, is there anything urgent going on?" Seymus, who was next to him, asked.
"Not yet, but I have a hunch that something is going to happen, okay?" Li Huailin replied casually.
"Oh, that's right." Semos here actually accepted it, nodded and said seriously, "Okay, I'll go back to the whole team immediately." β
"Well, let's all go back and form a team." Villanika on this side also waved her hand and said.
"Yes, Marshal!" Several generals here also nodded, and there was no surprise that they all listened to Li Huailin's military orders.
The generals left one after another, and Li Huailin on this side turned his head to look at Villanika and asked, "Vera, where is Dilsak, the station of the Second Legion?" β
"Marshal." Veranica said as she pulled over the map she had put it through, then pointed to an area on it and said, "It's in this location." β
"Hmm." Li Huailin looked at it, the location is the location of the main city to the north, and it is not far from the main city, the west is the territory of the elf clan, and the northeast is the territory of the beast clan, which can be regarded as a traffic artery, and then to the north is the province of Udesa where Li Huailin has been.
"The location of the garrison is here, near Camp Yodek." Villanika continued to point to one place and said, "This was originally the garrison of the First Legion, and the facilities should be relatively complete, and we will be able to take over soon." β
"Hmm." Li Huailin nodded, and asked again, "Where is my fiefdom Lancaster?" β
"Here, Marshal." Villanika pointed to a nearby area and said, "This one is all, the main city is Sovata, you can see it's not far from our garrison camp. β
"All of them?" Li Huailin scratched on the map, this place is really not small, Lancaster is located to the west of Dilsak, extending west to the border with the elves, according to the scale marked on this map, it is as big as a province in reality.
"Yes, Marshal, this area is all over the place." Villanika nodded.
"Why do you want to use a dotted line here?" Li Huailin pointed to the boundary line marked by a dotted line with the elves on the map and said.
"There is still a dispute between the boundary here and the elves, although the two sides have made peace, but it has not been settled, there are many elven tribes living near here, it should be said that the territory of the elves, but the human race is not willing to let go lightly, because there may be a surprising number of Mithril mines in this area, but unfortunately because of the dispute, it has not been developed." Villanika said.
"Mithril? Worth the money? Li Huailin didn't know what Mithril was, but it sounded very smuggling, so he asked.
"Uh...... Yes. Villanika nodded.
"Damn, this is Lao Tzu's territory in the future, and the elves are so bold that they dare to touch my things?" As soon as he heard that it was valuable, Li Huailin here immediately said. (To be continued......)
