12: Swordsmanship
McCal looked at the young man in front of him, he couldn't help it, he wanted to save a little. "Then Lord of the Village, can you bring our young Master Francisco first. When I am sure, I will give you the ransom. ”
Aslan gave orders to the Michelo butler on the side.
Soon two men arrived in the hall with Francisco. At this time, Francisco's eyes were very sluggish, without any energy, if it wasn't for the two people next to him to help him, he might have fallen directly to the ground.
McCal looked at the appearance of the young village master of his family, and he came to the side of the young village master in a panic: "Young village master! Young village master! I am McCard, I am here to pick you up and go home." Are you okay? ”
At this time, Francisco's eyes lit up with life: "Wheat...... Maika ...... Er, ...... Take me with you...... Go home. The tone was full of pleading, and there was no longer the pride of the past.
McCal turned to look at Aslan and said, "Lord City Lord, what's going on, how could our Young Village Lord be like this." ”
Aslan put on a sad look and said, "I don't know very well, since the war four days ago, Young Master Francisco has been like this, maybe there was some accident at that time." And he didn't eat what we gave him after that, I don't know if the food in our Flying City is too bad and not in line with the taste of the young village owner. ”
McCal stared at Aslan, and he said quietly: "Since this is the case, there is no way, the 10,000 gold coins and 50,000 catties of grain you want are outside the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, we can take the young village master and leave." ”
Aslan stepped down from his seat, walked up to McCal, and said with a smile: "Of course, I will send someone to receive things, and you can leave with your great young master later." ”
McCal said: "Thank you so much, my lord, I will take the young master down to rest first, and when you finish counting the ransom, I will leave." ”
Aslan said politely: "Mr. McCar, if you are in such a hurry to leave, then I will not keep you, I originally wanted to treat you well." It seems that the previous things were all misunderstandings, and we are still friends in the two cities. ”
McCal also hypocritically complimented: "Yes, yes, that's all a misunderstanding, I hope it won't hurt the relationship between our two cities." ”
Aslan smiled: "Then I'll tell them to hurry up and let you get on the road early." ”
"Thank you, thank you. I hope we still have a chance to come to Sky City. McCal said.
"Welcome, I'm always welcome, I just hope you don't hold weapons anymore then. The ransom isn't cheap. ”
"No, no, you laughed, Lord Zhai. Hahahaha"
"Hahahaha"
The Michelo butler on the side sighed that the young master also had such a hypocritical time.
Looking at the carriage of the Fan Bone Village that was slowly moving away, Aslan chuckled and said to the Michelo butler next to him: "Those gold coins and grain have been counted." ”
The housekeeper of Michelo took an account book made of animal skins with a surprised face, and said: "Well, everything has been counted, and 10,000 gold coins is not a lot." A total of 50,000 catties of grain are cups of rice, giant red beans, and elephant leg radish. "This is the most gold and grain he has seen in years.
Aslan commanded, "You deposit 10,000 gold coins in the center of the town, and I think I'll use it soon." ”
"Yes. ”
Aslan continued, "As for the grain, half of it will be put in the center of the town, and the rest will be stored in the city lord's mansion first. ”
The housekeeper of Michelo said strangely: "But young master, those people in the city, the food that was distributed after the previous war is almost exhausted, and we ...... this food."
Aslan said: "It's not that I don't give out food, it's just that I have to distribute it in another way." ”
"What way?" said Michelo, looking at Aslan in bewilderment.
"Employment method, now the five acres of rice fields in the city have begun to be cultivated, Aunt Melia is too busy alone, let them help, two people per farmland, you can get two catties of food every day, and the rest of the people are the same as two catties of food, but their task is to clean up the messy Flying City, the original army is pressing, people are panicking, I don't say anything, I can accept the dilapidated Flying City, but the sloppy and dirty Flying City is definitely not allowed. ”
Aslan gave the order and walked towards the center of the town behind the City Lord's Mansion, and after so many days of hard work, Jace had cultivated an acre of farmland on which precocious cups of rice were being cultivated.
After a growth spell went down, Aslan told Jace to put down his work, he wanted to know about the other functions of the town center.
For example, producing peasants as they did in the Age of Empires.
The biggest problem in Flying Sky City now is the shortage of population, and with the addition of the City Lord's Mansion and Jace, the population of the entire Flying City is less than thirty people.
Is this a city? It's not even as good as a village, on earth, a small village has hundreds of people, most of them tens of thousands.
"Of course, each farmer needs fifty catties of grain, and the time it takes to send it over is one day. As soon as Jace heard that Aslan was going to build a peasant, he suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly introduced Aslan.
At the same time, it also made Aslan understand that the people and things of the original lord system were teleported from another space, but what that space was and what it was, Jace didn't know.
With a wave of his hand, Aslan directly recruited twenty peasants, and twenty days later directly upgraded the town to the feudal era, but before that, the barracks must be established first.
After arranging all this, Aslan returned to the City Lord's Mansion and happened to see the Michelo butler who was practicing his sword at the door.
Seeing Michelo wielding his two-handed sword, majestic, Aslan's martial arts heart that grew up watching Jin Yong's serials suddenly lit up.
Although the magician is very stylish, he is not as powerful as a swordsman who holds a long sword and rushes to kill on the battlefield.
"Grandpa Michelo, can you teach me swordsmanship?" As soon as Aslan spoke, Michelo was stunned.
Aslan, who has recovered his cultivation as a magician, why did he suddenly want to learn swordsmanship, you must know that he looked down on swordsmen and samurai the most back then? Even the knight looked disdainful, why did he suddenly want to learn these things that he used to look down on today.
"Young Master, didn't you look down on swordsmen the most in the past?" asked Michelo as he put down his two-handed sword and asked with some confusion.
Aslan was suddenly embarrassed, but his mind turned, and he said seriously: "I was ignorant before, no matter how powerful a great magician is, if there is no protection of swordsmen and samurai, once he is close, he is just a pig to be slaughtered. ”
Michelo heard Aslan's explanation and nodded with satisfaction, it seems that after so many things, the young master has indeed grown.
