Chapter 142: Sacred Day One
It has been two days since Xiao Wen and Ge Lace cultivated to break through the day.
Today is the traditional festival of the Karl continent, the holy day.
The Holy Day of the Karl Continent, according to rumors, was earlier to celebrate the birth of the first god.
But after tens of thousands of years of inheritance, the Holy Day has become an otherworldly version of the New Year.
So today is Xiao Wen's first New Year in the other world.
"Lord Lord, Mr. Xun Yu, they are already in the council hall, waiting for you."
"Okay, I got it".
"By the way, Card, you can prepare for noon today, and I'm going to dine with Aina and Glaise."
"Besides, why don't you go over there and invite, Valsifer, and see him come over for lunch with us?"
"If not, then you can have some food prepared at noon, and then bring a few bottles of Non-Red Hearts and deliver them to Valcifer Saint personally, understand?"
"Yes, lord, the old slave understands."
"Very good".
After Xiao Wen nodded, he took his servants and walked towards the council hall in Qingguang Castle.
Because according to the tradition of the continent of Karl, in the Holy Day.
Today, the main generals in all the territories have to report to Xiao Wen, as the lord, on the residence of the affairs they are responsible for in their respective territories.
Then Xiao Wen rewarded and punished them according to the situation they reported.
In fact, this tradition is a bit like the annual meeting of Xiao Wen's previous life, which is to let the lords of the territory and the main officials know and analyze the shortcomings of the old year.
Then, according to the analysis, a rough target for the new year is made.
To be honest, Xiao Wen is still looking forward to this otherworldly version of the annual meeting, after all, Xiao Wen also wants to see if the generals he wielded have different opinions on the new development of the territory.
Soon Xiao Wen came to the conference hall, and saw that the two sides of the long plane wood table in the conference hall were already full of people at the moment.
I saw the people on both sides of the long table, after seeing the lord Xiao Wen, after entering the council hall.
They all stood up, and then saluted Xiao Wen in unison;
"Your Excellency, the light of the Holy Day blesses you forever."
"Ladies and gentlemen, the light of the Holy Day blesses you forever".
"Now, please take your seats."
When Xiao Wen replied to the general's blessing, he had already walked quickly and sat down on the main seat of the council hall.
"Yes. Your Lordship".
Hearing Lord Xiao Wen's words, the generals on both sides of the sycamore wood long table replied in unison.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today is a holy day and the last day of the year 558 of our Principality of Emma".
"According to the rules inherited from our Karl Continent to this day, this morning is the time for the generals in the territory to come and report to me on the development of their respective affairs."
"So now everyone is gathered in the council chamber of Qingguang Castle, but before I report the situation, I will say a few things."
"The first thing to do, that is, after the end of this council, you can each receive a bottle of non-red heart red wine from the elven kingdom in the hands of the servants at the door of the council chamber, and take it home with you, and find time to drink with your family."
"The second thing is that every general who has to rush back after the end of the council according to the rules can receive a thousand gold coins as my reward for you."
"As for his generals, each of them can receive five hundred gold coins from the tax collector Fa Shan Xing, which will also be my reward for you."
(Note: According to the tradition of the Karl Continent on the Holy Day, all generals and vassals are not allowed to stay in the main city after reporting their respective situations to the lord and the suzerain, and must immediately return to their respective posts and stick to it until the end of the Holy Day and the beginning of the new year, and then they can return to celebrate with their families).
As for why there is such a rule, it is rumored that it is to prevent anything from happening on the Holy Day.
But what will happen on the Holy Day, because it has been so long, that basically no one can answer now.
However, this rule has been passed down to the next level, so that at least half of the officials in the council chamber are to leave Moriki City and go to the city or town they are responsible for after the council is over.
"Thirdly, when I returned to the territory from the capital of Arrich, I bought a lot of items in Arrich as gifts for your holy day."
"Therefore, when you leave, you can also go to Xun Yu's affairs officer, choose your favorite items, and take them home as gifts."
"By the way, I would like to remind you that the things I bought in Yarici are all high-quality, so don't miss them for a while."
"Fourth, that is, the garrisons of the various towns of Senmu City and Haque City, you must also strengthen the garrison of soldiers for me on the Holy Day, and I don't want any problems today."
"Especially the one who is stationed in the town of Bidington, Slanka and Benjamin who helps to defend it, because you are in the town of Bidington, and there is still the presence of the enemy Baron Is, so you must step up your precautions."
"At the same time, the tax collector of Fashan, in recognition of the Slandington garrison in Slanka, and Benjamin's 4th Swadia Infantry Battalion, you have specially transferred some gold coins as a reward, and when the two of them return, let them bring them back and distribute them to the Waving Soldiers."
"Yes, my lord."
After Fashan Xing heard Lord Xiao Wen's words, he respectfully agreed, as for how much each soldier is rewarded, this does not need Xiao Wen to care, Fashan Xing and they naturally have various reward regulations for soldiers.
"Thank you, Lord Lord, for your hard work."
And Slanka and Benjamin, after hearing the conversation between the lord Xiao Wen and the tax collector Fa Shanxing, also quickly stood up and saluted.
"Alright, sit down, and now I declare that the debriefing council has officially begun, starting with the small town of Wales."
"Yes, my lord."
After Xiao Wen finished speaking, Jack, the mayor of Wells Town, quickly stood up and agreed.
"My lord, my lords, our small town in Wales originally had a population of more than 13,000 people, and after a period of development and the recruitment of displaced people, the current population is 21,628 people."
"At the same time, there is a medium-sized lumber yard and a medium-sized quarry in the town."
"It can bring more than 7,000 gold coins to the territory every month."
"In addition, the garrison officer of Simar in the town of Wales has drawn 1,800 soldiers at present, a total of three battalions."
