Chapter 163 The greatest motivation of man comes from thinking, and thinking is a great force that drives all things
The next day, commonly known as the next day, before noon, it was calm, and Wren did not come out of the bedroom, which made many people breathe a sigh of relief. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info even thought in his heart, isn't this a little famous golden nobleman like this? The requirements for Wren are not so attentive, anyway, even if something happens, the city lord is on the front line, and many businessmen divert their energy to their own affairs.
Before the rebels came to attack the city, in order to avoid losses, they drove their horses and livestock into the enclosures of the city. The city is indeed not small, and the inhabitants are indeed not large, but tens of thousands of livestock are crowded together in the city, and the feces and excrement produced every day make the air of the whole city waft with a fresh and refined smell of feces. Civilians can be said to ignore this smell, they deal with these smells and don't care at all. But businessmen and nobles can't stand it, and this is what they smell when they eat, this is what they smell when they need convenience, and this is the smell when they even sleep.
Large numbers of horses and cattle were driven back to the pastures outside the city by the civilians, and the manure and excrement were also pulled outside the city by carts to become fertilizer for the pasture.
In the middle of May, the sun is like fire, scorching people and nourishing plants. The wind blew in gusts, with a faint smell of the sea, which blew away the strange smell of the city and blew open the doors of people's houses.
It's a nice day with nice weather.
It was close to noon that Wren came out of the room, dressed in military uniform, and the chief of staff's eyes lit up and knew that Wren was planning to go back. There was no precedent for aristocrats to wear military uniforms during non-war periods, except on major festivals, but even then, few people wore military uniforms instead of formal attire. You must know that the nobles pay attention to decency, pay attention to education, and the military dress obviously does not meet their aesthetic standards, only solemn, solemn, luxurious and exquisite formal clothes are their love of life.
"You are ......", the chief of staff knew it, but he still wanted to confirm it.
Wren glanced at him, his gaze not lingering in the slightest, as if he didn't see this person. When he passed by, he dropped a sentence, "I'm going back, tell you the city lord, we will deal with each other in the future." ”
The chief of staff grinned, the young man just likes to amplify his words, and he will deal with him in the future? Knowing that you are so dark, with the stingy nature of the city lord, I am afraid that there will be no chance to deal with it in the future. He bent his waist lower, lowered his eyebrows and said: "Yes, you have an important business, you can't stay here longer, I only express my regret on behalf of myself and the city lord." We look forward to welcoming you here when you have more time, and the Lord of the Castle will be waiting for you with the warmest hospitality. ”
The metal nails on the soles of his boots to prevent slipping fell with each step, making a regular impact sound, and Wren didn't turn his head back, and snorted softly.
The chief of staff personally escorted Wren out of the City Lord's Mansion, watching Wren and his army disappear on the road towards the outside of the city, the chief of staff jumped up happily and slapped his palms, his palms were red, and he also slapped his bared teeth. He hurried to the tower with the skirt of his robe, looked at the city lord who was still suffering, and immediately brought him the good news. He smiled, leaned into the city lord's ear and said, "My lord, good news, Wren knows that there is no hope of leaving. ”
The city lord opened his eyes weakly and glanced at the chief of staff, and although he was tossed enough, the news of Wren's departure cheered him up. The city lord reluctantly raised his hand and landed heavily on the chief of staff's shoulder, almost smashing him and staggering to the ground. There was a look of appreciation in the eyes of the city lord, and his eyes blinked, and then closed again. The chief of staff lifted the city lord's arm, forcefully stuffed the elephant's leg-like arm back into the quilt, and left happily humming a little song.
This thing is done too beautifully, and his status in the heart of the city lord will inevitably go to a higher level.
There is a very vulgar folk proverb in Orlando, which makes a lot of sense: "The staff has no leader, and the fart does not make a sound!"
Naturally, a city lord cannot have only one staff, let alone two or three, and some big nobles have more than a dozen or twenty or thirty staff, so many that they have to be divided into two or three echelons. Everyone is the master of playing with their brains, and no one is worse than the other, so why are you the chief of staff and I am just a small staff? On the one hand, we want to stabilize our position, and on the other hand, we launch attacks from time to time in an attempt to overturn the chief of staff to the ground. The brutality of the struggle is far beyond the limits of what words can express.
There are countless smart people who have died because of the struggle for the special position of chief of staff.
However, the chief of staff, whose position had been firmly established again, seemed to have forgotten one thing, and that he was not able to govern a city or a state, nor that he was full of intrigues and cunning, but simply because he knew how to do things and how to get more benefits from the merchants.
Even the city lord seemed to have forgotten about it, and the two of them didn't think about paying attention to Wren anymore, but put their minds on the extra half of the tax.
There are three most prosperous places in a city, and the first place is always the front of the street where the city gate enters, and the closer to the city gate, the better and the more prosperous it is. Many people enter the city with a sense of freshness and a desire to explore, and they will be curious about the first shops they see, and they will have the urge to explore, and they will pay attention to these places and write them down.
The second place is at the end of the street, under the visual bombardment of the saturation of dazzling goods, people begin to get tired, ignore some shops or trading markets, and when the road reaches the end, they will lift their spirits again and look forward to the scenery after the corner. Even the shop market on the side will take a few more looks. But when they turn the corner, they find that they still can't see anything distinctive, and they become numb again, and this numbness will continue until they leave the city.
As for the third prosperous place, it is naturally a variety of gold caves. People's desires are endless, and endless desires also bring impulsive consumption. It's like a lot of people think that today I'm going to find a girl with 500 coppers, drink a glass of wine with 200 coppers, and then take out 80 coppers to watch the dances that get hotter and hotter and have to take off their clothes to stop the heat. But in fact, the girl with 500 coppers in her arms unknowingly became a girl with 800 coppers, and the wine of 200 coppers was inexplicably replaced with 50 coppers, and she ordered two glasses.
Even in the end, I had to take off my clothes to stop the fever when I went to see the dance that became hotter and hotter, and after the scheduled 80 coppers were painted, 200 coppers were smashed on it.
Is this the end of it? No, many people will find a reason to "round up" themselves, and the depravity cannot be controlled. Since I've already spent 1,100 coppers, why don't I round it up and spend 1,500, and then I won't come next week.
Why do people say that these places are the abode of the devil? Because people are always unable to resist these temptations, they always go step by step into the abyss under the whispering of the devil, and eventually their families are ruined and they become slaves.
Westin's gold cave is very large, and the people who come here to do business are all big forces from all sides, and the smaller ones don't dare to blatantly buy war horses to play with arms. So these people have money, and rich people always like to waste money, so these gold caves have become a part of daily life.
But today, the everyday is broken.
Two hundred black-armored soldiers surrounded two casinos and a technical college, and panicked guests with trousers, overwhelmed and skilled women covering their breasts, and pale-faced bosses and men shaking their legs and swinging were driven out. They watched in despair as bags of silver, gold, and precious stones were loaded onto the wagon. No one spoke up, and the proprietors were afraid that their blind appearance would lead to the knife that killed the chicken, and the onlookers were even more gloating.
A few young men escaped before the incident, and they rushed towards the city lord's mansion and the public security station, and this evil act must be stopped! When they were less than 500 meters away from the former, a young man was grabbed and beaten by several strong men, and then chained to a tree. The one who went to the latter ran in, but the captain of the guard was deaf today, and no matter the young man's anxious invitations, explanations, and threats, the captain of the guard was like a candle in the wind, looking at the bright sunshine outside the door in a daze.
Good...... Idle...... Yes......!
This group of thugs left a sentence before leaving, this is what the city lord asked the black armor army to do, because the city lord couldn't make up 50,000 gold coins, so they had to go to the city lord if they had any problems.
This is not only happening here, but everywhere there are casinos and technical colleges, they are all suffering today. There may be some people among the common people who complain about Wren and his soldiers, but more often than not, this is a joy to hear. Casinos and technical colleges are probably the least popular places for people, not one of them. The former will ruin people's families and ruin their families, while the latter can break up their wives and families. Seeing these people suffering, most people with a conscience are still happy.
In addition, outside the city, it is the main battlefield of Rennes.
Looking at the black clouds in the pasture and the black pressure of the war horses, Wren's eyes burst into a burst of fine light. In the shit of Ortlenburg, you can't buy a few horses, but there are a lot of them. Merchants simply pull things hundreds of kilometers away and turn them upside down, and they dare to double or multiple. The most hateful thing is that they don't sell much at a time, a dozen or so, twenty horses, which is of no use to Wren who is in a hurry to expand.
At this time, he raised his hand and pointed to the horses in front of him, "I want all of these." If you have any questions, you can ask your city lord. ”
The rancher was silent, and watched as hundreds of knights rushed into the ranch, guiding the horses to the northeast after them. The rancher's pent-up anger finally boiled, and he broke free from the sword he was wielding around his neck, knocking the knight off his horse with a single punch, and kicking the horse under the knight's seat on the other side. The war horse galloped in pain, and in the blink of an eye it ran far away. He grinned at the trembling Wren, jumped up and punched Wren, hit him in the eye, and kicked him several times. Then he righteously stated that he would defend the sanctity of his private property to the death, and he swore that he would go to the imperial capital to appeal and sue Wren for his misdeeds......
Wren looked at the horse merchant beside him a little strangely, his eyes were blank, and he always smiled inexplicably.
Aren't you stupid? (To be continued.) )
