Chapter 91: Reconstruction

Ravenwood's new dock has been inaugurated, and there are still two days to go before the town's first banquet, which will be a nuisance in addition to decorating the castle. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The castle of Lyon is just a small building in the countryside, and now the indoor hall has been transformed into an administrative hall by him, so the venue for the banquet can only be selected in the back garden, but the back garden is just a small courtyard, which can accommodate a limited number of people, and there are too many people invited, so everyone is not participating in the banquet, but experiencing the crowded grand occasion of the winter festival.

"Tell me what to do?" Leon couldn't make up his mind, so he called York and Chris to discuss it.

"Your Highness, there are twenty people in the patrol and archers, and this does not include the castle guards, most of whom are family members, and if they are invited together, the whole courtyard may not be able to stand anywhere. York first thought about his subordinates, and when the prince first mentioned the banquet, he told them that now that the banquet was about to take place, if no one was invited, his face seemed a little unbearable.

At the beginning, the patrol team and the archers were all established in the emergency situation, and the number of people was very small, so everyone was in an equal position in the team, and it was unfair to choose a few people from it.

"Your Highness, in addition to Lord York's subordinates, Mr. Morris who built the docks this time, Mr. Tosso, who manages the town's plantings, and a few craftsmen and miners from the lumberyard, you mentioned before that you would give a welcome banquet to the poor people who have moved to the town, and these people are no less than Lord York's side combined. Chris said one by one.

He had compiled the relevant information, the prince meant to take advantage of the important day of the first banquet to reward all those who had made important contributions to the town, but he didn't think that there were too many people, and the castle was too small, and the original promise was a little difficult to fulfill now.

"I know most of this, so let you come up with an idea, what should I do?" Leon looked at the parchment scroll on the table, and the general situation was all on it.

"Well, otherwise I'll hold a competition, and the top three people in the competition can participate. York quickly had an idea.

The last time they went hunting, they met the injured Emma, thinking that there were some strange beasts or savages in the mountains and forests, and for the safety of the townspeople, they selected three of the best archery skills from among the archers.

"Sounds good, but what are you going to do with the patrol?" Leon thought for a moment, and York seemed only half right.

The competition of archers is very simple, you just need to see who is good at archery. But when it comes to the patrol, this method is not practical, they hardly touch the arrows, so there are unreasonable factors for them to compare archery, maybe someone was a hunter before the advantages and disadvantages are too obvious, it may cause criticism.

"It's not easy, pull it to the training ground and have a fight, and whoever wins will advance to the next round. York said with a smile, the selection between soldiers is so simple and rude, everyone speaks according to their ability, and those who are not selected can only blame their own ability is not as good as others. Even if he was injured in the competition, with Riley's medical skills, all injuries were not a problem.

Leon didn't answer, he thought about it carefully, the banquet was a festive event, and at the same time a symbol of glory, and the soldiers were wounded in battle, which was all worthy of respect, although it was to get an invitation to a banquet, but it was okay to work hard for it. At least for now, this approach solves a lot of problems.

And Chris on the side is in trouble, and York has already dealt with it, but there are dozens of people in front of him, so he can't let them fight.

Mr. Morris, who built the docks, has been working diligently, and before that he was in charge of the town's trade with White Mist City, and also helped the prince manage the castle, such a person has contributed a lot to the town, and will definitely be among the invitees.

Mr. Tosso has personally found a planter, and whether the town can have a good harvest in the future will require Toso's hard work. In addition, when he came to the town, he also helped him, so he gave himself and his little sister a place to live, and they had to be invited.

In addition, the craftsmen who built the smelter, the newly moved poor people, and others all had reasons to participate, and Chris really couldn't do it if he wanted to weed out some of them.

"Your Highness, there is really no way to pick someone out. Why don't you move the venue of the banquet to the outside of the castle, then you can solve all the problems?"

"No, no, no, the lord's banquet must be held in the lord's castle or palace, this is the rule of the nobility, and it is also the respect for the banquet personnel, if it is moved to the street, what will it look like. York dismissed his claim outright, and Chris didn't know the traditions of the nobility and he wouldn't blame it. But if you think about it briefly, there was a prince's banquet on the dirt road outside the castle, and I don't know how many nobles' big teeth will be laughed at when this news gets out.

"It turns out that this is the case, then the people can only be separated according to their identities, and this banquet will invite the people from the small town over, and the new people who have moved to the town will only be considered later. Chris's statement included himself, and he had to do so in order to share the prince's worries.

"No, townsfolk should be treated equally, even if they're new immigrants. Leon shook his head, he would only disappoint them by doing so, he had talked to them about the benefits of moving to a small town before, and he couldn't start discriminating against them at this time.

"That suggestion you just made ......," Leon thought it would be a good idea to widen the banquet space.

"I'm against it. Before the prince could finish speaking, York objected directly.

"I'm against it too. Chris also agreed with the knight's statement, that it was enough to know before, and that the prince's reputation could not be tarnished by his ignorance.

"I'm not done yet. "Lyon realized that his authority had been greatly compromised.

He gathered his thoughts and said, "I don't want to move the banquet outside, but I plan to widen the back garden, fortunately there is only a thin wall, and it is not difficult to tear down and rebuild." ”

The structure of the castle is very simple, and it is not built with thick stone bricks, even if it is completely torn down and rebuilt, it is not difficult to rebuild, not to mention that now only one wall is torn down, and it only takes two or three craftsmen to complete it in one day.

"If the back garden is to be enlarged, wouldn't it be better to rebuild the castle together?" the knight of York was immediately interested, and he had already persuaded the prince to renovate the castle.

"York...... Leave this matter to Chris. Lyon decided to ignore York's advice and that it was not yet time to renovate.
