"Evan things can be put down. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
The matter of the secret treasury was settled, and Syd immediately summoned Jani: "The reorganization of the Brotherhood can now be launched in full force. The money will be used first by the casino, and if there is a shortage, it will be withdrawn from me. People, if you can still use it before, you will continue to use it, and during this time, I will reorganize the army, and you will pick out some more when the time comes. In addition, in addition to Lukang, the county head Gregory must also arrange manpower at the same time......"
Seid's orders, and Jani responded again and again.
"Let someone look for Amelia and see where Hood and Ammons are. In addition, in the name of Shanlan's secret arts, arrange for some people to contact the knights of the surrounding cities, and if they are tempted, let them come to Lukang to meet me. β
"Your person, if the physical conditions are satisfied, can also arrange secret art cultivation. In the future, the Operations Department will be the main force of the Brotherhood, but your Intelligence Department will also have its own power. β
"As for the secret technique that suits you, when Gregory's arrangement is complete, you can go to plan. I've got some secret potions and awakening potions from the treasure trove, and as long as you get your hands on them, your strength will grow by leaps and bounds. β
"Yes, young master. β
Jani took the order and left.
Seid went to see Edith again.
"Sister, I have a few ideas that I need your consent and support. β
"What's the matter?"
"The reorganization of the garrison and law enforcement team, the reopening of the Teide mines, the taxation of the Lukang Collar, and the handling of the various families in the city. Said reported one item at a time.
"It's good that you decide these things yourself. Edith hugged her daughter with a little headache.
"Although the surname of Lukang is Gas, after all, it belongs to Alicia, although I am temporarily in charge, I also have to borrow some power, but if I should explain it to you, I still have to say it. I don't know how many brothers kill each other because of the territory, I don't want little Alicia to grow up, and I will think that I want to take her territory, and then I will have to do it again, which will hurt everyone's feelings. Said's voice was flat, but his words were solemn.
Edith finally got serious: "You say. β
"I'll take a little insight into the matter of taxation, and after I've stabilized it a bit, I'll leave it all to you. I'm in charge of the army for the time being, but you're in charge of all the logistics. The garrison and law enforcement teams, I deliberately downsized a batch. Then there's the Teide mine, after the iron ore is produced, how much should it be, how much it should be, but I need the control of the ore. Said tried to keep his words as concise as possible. He is interested in taking Lukang, but he is not going to forcibly occupy Alicia's territory, it is enough to temporarily control the power of Lukang, and when he achieves his goal, the strength in his hands develops, and at that time, Lukang is just a small city.
"Just as you will. Edith nodded.
"And then there are the great families in the city. I mean, win over a group of obedient people, eat a group of diehards, and if you have something you usually hate, then take this opportunity to solve it all together. β
"Do as you wish. But before I do that, let me look at the list. Edith frowned slightly, she wasn't doing that, but now that Alicia was going to be lord, she always had to get used to it slowly.
......
Coming out of Edith, Seid met another man, Durham, a merchant from the United City-States who he had rescued from prison.
The Warren family has been settled, so this person can naturally be released.
After some talking, Syd entrusted him with some more things, and asked him to return to the United City, and after going to McCarthy City to find the Bessie family to deliver a letter to Lady Dinah, he arranged for someone to send him to Gregory. In the current Chiif Fort, it is probably only the county leader Gregory who has a ship to the United City-States.
Before the matter was over, Seid went to the Ordnance Department to calm the craftsmen's uneasiness.
Immediately afterwards, he summoned some of the leaders of the garrison who had been absorbed by Harold.
Then he arranged for people to secretly target some noble families in the city.
Gradually, the time came to the middle of the night.
"When we meet with those families tomorrow and get rid of those who stubbornly refuse to bow their heads, it will be time to send a letter to Count Silva. β
"Lukang Territory, Abertor Territory, the two territories are settled together. β
In the castle, Said's eyes slowly closed, recuperating from the tiredness of his mind.
The night was getting darker and darker, and I didn't know what time it was, when suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps outside, and Said's eyes opened.
"My lord, the garrison has sent a letter urgently, and three people have shown their identities as messengers from Count Silva and entered the city late at night. "Outside is a temporary castle guard by the Knights of Abertour.
Messenger of Count Silva!
It's fast enough!
It should be that old Warren sent the letter yesterday!
As for the pathway......
Seid's thoughts flashed a few times, and suddenly he remembered one thing, he had neglected a very useful person.
In the old Warren castle, there is an old man who specially trained birds for him to carry messages.
If this person can be used to join the Brotherhood, the Brotherhood's intelligence capabilities will be rapidly improved, especially for long-distance intelligence transmission. However, in order to be more secretive and not leaked, the corresponding letter should also be dealt with, plus some special passwords and passwords.
The thought flickered, without the slightest panic, and Said said in a deep voice: "All precautions are as usual, if they come to the castle to pay a visit, invite them to the council chamber." β
"Yes, sir. The guard answered, and the footsteps quickly faded away.
"Jiani, find the old bird keeper and tell him that I need a team that specializes in cultivating birds. In return, he will receive a certain reward for each qualified bird that the team raises, and his descendants, regardless of whether they raise birds or not, will also be protected by the castle. Once that's done, you go to Edith again, and if there's any big movement in the castle, take her into the vault for a while. β
Said's voice rang out again. Jani slept next door, and he could already hear her get up.
"Yes, young master. With a sound of answer, it didn't take long for the sound of the door opening from the next door, and then a footstep quickly disappeared.
Syd himself was getting up, unhurriedly getting dressed.
Since Count Silva's messenger has arrived, the castle is sure to come.
And if he was not mistaken, the three messengers should have been masters, and it was Count Silva who received the letter from old Warren and sent them to deal with the incident.
Although he is not afraid of such a master, he must always be prepared.
Try your best to talk, but if you can't talk about it, you still have to rely on your fists to speak.
As for the after...... Count Silva is either annoyed or angry, and the latter does not need to say, even the former, he does not want Count Silva to admit it.
As long as he has enough strength, he is not afraid of the wrath of Count Silva in the current situation.
Putting on his shirt, Seid strode to the council chamber.
