Chapter 623: Collective Honor
"No hurry, no hurry. Facing the few little nobles who rushed up and asked to join the Knights, Luo Ming waved his hand and said, "I know that everyone's credit is not small, but we have to count all the credits one by one, otherwise it will be bad if we miss any credit." ”
Although those little nobles did not succeed in joining the knights immediately, they also brushed their faces in front of Luo Ming and expressed their loyalty, which can be regarded as content.
The other nobles scolded secretly, and had no choice but to step forward together to express their eagerness to join the group, for fear of falling to the last few, which Luo Ming thought was not giving face.
This has happened many times, but it will continue to happen, and it is impossible for the nobles to reach a general consensus bypassing Lormin.
Then, after the craze had passed, Luo Ming continued.
What Luo Ming did before had already made the nobles admire his courage.
And what he did next was beyond their imagination.
"Next, I would like to invite all industry representatives to come to the stage to receive the award. Luo Ming said.
In the Celestial Empire, it is already unremarkable, and there are even some fake things, in this world, not to mention the ancients, but at least the nobles present are unheard of.
For Luo Ming, although there is an element of political need, his own sincerity is genuine.
Representatives of spearmen, cavalry, musketeers, artillerymen, logistics officers, doctors, merchants...... One by one, they all walked up to the stage.
Pelodiana took the stage again, this time not for her own merits, but on behalf of the entire community of Schönbrunn physicians.
"Thank you to the physicians for their hard work, who have saved the lives of hundreds of soldiers, including two venerable Excellencies, and I think your contribution is as important as the killing of hundreds of enemies. Luo Ming said solemnly.
As for the "two venerable gentlemen", they were those who had gone with Romin in the raid that night, one a knight and the other a child of a baron, both of whom were seriously wounded.
The son of the baron was seriously injured and had a broken stomach, but Pelodiana treated it with her own hands, and then sewed it back after washing and detoxifying it, and they have now improved a lot, but they can't come to the celebration yet.
Pelodiana bowed solemnly and accepted the pennant on behalf of the entire group of Schönbrunn physicians.
The operation of this string of "collective skills" made the nobles fascinated - they didn't expect Luo Ming to be able to have a hand, and they felt that they had learned a lot.
Of course, this can only be said to be an episode, and the nobles have no opinion at all, at most they just slander "His Excellency the Viscount is too polite to the mud legs".
After all, this kind of "collective merit" does not bring them any privileges, or make their status special, it is just a higher-level praise, and even one medal per person is saved, and only a pennant is issued. Luo Ming himself has no opinion, and the nobles can't worry about him.
Actually, Luo Ming still plans to issue medals...... Maybe not a medal, but a medal?
In short, he is ready to create a large number of "Anti-Beran War Medals", he has planned them all, a medal only needs to consume the copper amount of two copper coins, and it can be smashed in batches with a hydraulic forging hammer. When this thing is sprinkled out, it is a powerful weapon to enhance cohesion and identity.
Of course, this is just an ordinary medal, and it will not be accompanied by any other honorary titles, and there will be no annuity.
In short, after the pennant was also distributed, Luo Ming finally announced that this link had come to an end.
Now, it's time for the banquet and the ball to begin, right?The nobles were already waiting, and the ladies and ladies were staring at Luo Ming's mouth one by one, not wanting to miss a word from him.
"Next, let's enter the most anticipated dance part, where we can eat and drink, dance and have fun, where we can share the joy with everyone, and when we are tired, we can also confide in a few confidants in the quiet room I specially prepared——"
Luo Ming changed his words: "However, the ladies who are eyeing me may be disappointed, I have no intention of doing this at the moment, and Miss Grant may throw a white glove at the competition."
However, I still have many loyal and brave men, heroes and young talents, and I wish you all the best to find the perfect companion among them. ”
With that, he put his arms around Grant and stepped onto the dance floor.
Music plays.
The musicians were not Luo Ming's people, and even many of the tableware for this ball were borrowed by Luo Ming from a few nobles - for those nobles, the musicians they raised and the tableware themselves were precious possessions of their families, and maybe they could be passed on to future generations, and they took them all with them when they took refuge.
Luo Ming was surprised at first, but then he was right to think about it - these tableware are old objects with history, and they have a lot of artistic value, maybe they are much more expensive than the same weight of silver.
Musicians can save money by hiring people from outside, or they can rent them out to others to make money.
Musicians can accept apprentices to pass on their skills to the next generation, and the apprentices then work for the family, so that they are passed on from generation to generation, which can be regarded as a financial management method with feudal characteristics.
During the dance, Granty's cheeks flushed a little, and she pouted, "What do you mean by throwing out white gloves?
"It's hard to say. Luo Ming looked at her awkward appearance, and felt more and more cute, so he couldn't help but tease her, "If it's for me, it's not strange to kill someone if you don't agree with you." ”
"Hmph, I'm going to make you beautiful. Granty snorted, but didn't retort.
"Come on, dance merrily. ”
"Don't you be overwhelmed!"
The tone seemed provocative, but it was full of warmth.
Luo Ming's subordinates, although they have worked hard to learn some dance skills in the past two days, are still much worse than those veteran aristocrats who have been dancing for decades, and if they are exposed to the public, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no accidents due to nervousness.
So, Lormine and Grant Dyndi spun around in the middle of the dance floor.
Although the two of them can only say that they have a slight understanding of this kind of ballroom dancing, their extraordinary cultivation and control of the body are there, and they can easily reach a level that ordinary people have been difficult to reach for more than ten years.
For a while, everyone was overshadowed by the dance of the two, and the two attracted most of the attention, and few people paid attention to the dance skills of those subordinates.
Some of the bold girls had even chosen someone interested among them and took the initiative to start jumping with each other.
