Chapter 443 Transaction Handling

"That's life!" Lorist sighed contentedly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

At this moment, he was in the study on the third floor of the main building of the central castle of Raging Bear City, and the warm November sun shone warmly on his body through the huge window, making Lorist who was leaning on the chaise longue involuntarily feel a little tired. Well, last night I slept with Celivia and the four concubines for half the night, and I was woken up early in the morning by the crying of that precious son, who would bask in the sun and want to fall asleep.

However, the arrival of Shi Fatzi and others interrupted Lorist's wishful thinking.

"Hey, Your Highness, you've been resting for five or six days since you came back, and it's time to get down to business......" Shi Fatzi complained, he couldn't see Lorlist's comfort the most, and his heart was unbalanced when he thought that he was busy and dark, but Lorist was lazily basking in the sun.

Lorist sighed and stood up, but when he saw the stacks of documents held by Shi Fatzi and the three attendants behind him, he couldn't help but sigh: "No, why are there so many documents?"

Shi Fatzi instructed the three attendants to put the documents they were holding on the desk and let them leave, and at the same time instructed Genolio, who was standing on the side, to bring him a bottle of fruit wine, and by the way, he instructed the kitchen steward to get more delicious food at noon and send it directly to the study, he will stay here to work today.

"There are still a lot of documents for this?" Shi Fatzi said dissatisfiedly: "You go to my office to see if there is still a place to stay, it is all stuffed." The documents here are a summary of the past two years, and I have basically dealt with them. Now, you can take a look at it and sign it, so that I can gather all the execution documents in the office and put them in the archives. ”

This is the rule of the Norton family, even if Shi Fatzi can handle the affairs of the family on behalf of Lorlist, but before Lorlist's signature is obtained, the relevant documents cannot be summarized into the archives, and the handling plan and execution process of all affairs must be summarized according to the procedure for Lorist to see, so that the head of the family can know it in his heart.

However, Lorist was also quick to deal with these documents, and signed them almost after reading them at a glance. As the chief knight of the Norton family, Fat Shi handled these affairs very well, Lorist recognized his handling plan, and several documents that Lorist was interested in were singled out and put aside, ready to carefully check the details of this matter to ask Fat Boss later. It didn't take long to dispose of a large stack of papers on the desk, but there were three more stacks of the same document on the desk.

"By the way, Your Highness, hasn't Schward come back yet?" Seeing that Lorist stretched and stopped, Shi Fatty, who was tasting fruit wine, asked.

"Well, Reddy went to pick him up, probably the day after tomorrow. The two-year retreat period has long since passed, but it is said that Schward was touched by the process of cultivation and still honed his swordsmanship in the back mountain of the rock castle. After Lorist returned to the family domain, Reddy was ordered to pick him up at Rock Castle.

"When Schward comes back, are you going to let him take over the guard battalion?"

"Yes. Lorist nodded: "But the most important thing is to let him get married first." Before this return, the Duke of Philim complained that his daughters were about to become old girls, and I had promised him that he would bring her for the New Year's celebration at the end of this year, and I would celebrate the wedding of Roschward and Caterina. ”

"Didn't Duke Philip say what her daughter's dowry was?" Shi Fatzi asked with great interest: "He has been promoted to duke, I think his daughter's dowry is not unrich, at least he has to get it." ”

Lorist smiled and shook his head: "You also know the situation of the Philim family, and now the entire southern province has become their family territory. Duke Philim was eager to break a gold coin in half and spend it. The southern province is poor and white, and it is indeed difficult to support the development of the entire southern province with the income from his former family domain. Therefore, his daughter Caterina did not have much dowry, but he was going to combine the entire area of Puerto Ridge into a viscounty and give it to his daughter as a dowry. It's just that the development of this viscounty needs my help. ”

Shi Fatzi was amazed: "Duke Philim is also a big deal, the Pudoriqi mountain area accounts for almost one-tenth of the area of the entire southern province, this dowry will be shocking." Schward's kid is really lucky, he has a viscount without being knighted. ”

Lorist nodded: "Actually, this is also a helpless move, we returned to the former Second Highness to see him off, and pulled me and Duke Philip to say that although our four families in the Northland are very close, the Southern Province has now become the territory of the Philim family, and the Rock Legion of the Norton family is not suitable to be stationed on the border of the Eastern Wilderness Province, and the implication is to let me withdraw the Rock Legion." ”

"It's none of his business. Shi Fatzi scolded in a low voice very dissatisfied.

"Words are terrible. Lorist said: "After all, the Southern Province has become the territory of the Philim family, and we have deployed the Rock Legion on the border of the Eastern Wilderness Province to guard against the Fisabrun family and to help Duke Philim. But others don't know, they will think that our Norton family is oppressing the Philim family by force and usurping the benefits of the Southern Province.

Therefore, I am going to hand over the defensive line of the southern province border to the newly formed garrison of the Philim family, and withdraw the Rock Legion. The Duke of Philim's plan to use the Puerto Rige Mountains as his daughter's dowry solved this problem. By placing the Flying Tiger Legion in the Puerto Riqi Mountains, we can guard and echo the border defense line of the Southern Province, and we will be able to respond to the movements of the Fisabrun family at the first time. ”

Shi Fatzi laughed: "If we withdraw the Rock Legion back, I bet the first one to fidget is Duke Philim, he is not confident that he can block the raid of the Frontier Ranger Regiment under the command of Grand Duke Fisabrun. ”

"There's no way, now His Second Highness is sitting in Hans City, and he is digesting the eleven newly acquired provinces. He will definitely rely on the Fisabrun family to hold our four Northland alliances hostage. To ask us to withdraw to the Rock Corps is to prepare to open the borders of the Southern Province. And the Duke of Philim also did not want the southern province of his family domain to become a smooth route for His Royal Highness and the Grand Bus of Fisabrun. Therefore, he combined the Puertorichi mountain region into a viscount as a dowry for his daughter, because he did not want us to withdraw the legions and remain in the southern province to help their family guard against the threat of the Fisabrun family to the southern province. Lorist analyzed.

"Do you think the Grand Duke of Fisabrun will send troops to the Southern Province?" asked Fat Shi.

"No, he's an old fox and understands the situation. At present, he will only stay in the family territory to develop his strength, and it is impossible to provoke any more wars. The general trend has passed, the Iberian Kingdom has become a thing of the past, no matter how much he dreams, he can't do anything to dominate the northeast region, on the one hand, our four alliances in the northland, on the other hand, the second highness who has newly occupied eleven provinces, if he has any wishful thinking, it will only make the entire Fisabrun family fall into the abyss. Lorist replied.

"Then we can breathe a sigh of relief and have a peaceful birthday for a few years. Shi Fatzi said.

"Yes, let's see when His Second Highness starts tossing again. Lorist nodded, remembered something, and turned to pick up a document he had just picked out from his desk: "By the way, this document says that the standard crossbow of the Cavalry Hunting Legion has been mass-produced and distributed, how is the effect?"

"Very good. Shi Fatzi's spirit immediately lifted up: "Your Highness, you don't know, the cross steel crossbow made by Master Sid this time is simply a long-range attack artifact for personal use, which can shoot accurately at a distance of one hundred and twenty meters, and its strength is still very strong." The most important thing is to be able to wind it easily on horseback. According to him, it is borrowed from the lever-winding device you proposed, and a lever handle is installed on the crossbow, and after firing, the crossbow body is pressed on the shoulder, and the lever handle can be wound as soon as the lever handle is pulled.

Jost was so enthusiastic about this that he was urging the Cavalry Hunters to familiarize themselves with the use of the Crossbow and to conduct a training known as mounted line shooting. According to him, after completing this training, the combat effectiveness of the Huntsman Legion will increase several times, bringing the enemy a stormy attack, and the Huntsman Legion will become a nightmare for the enemy. ”

"yes, it looks like I'll have to go to the Hunters in a few days to see how their training works. Lorist put down the document in his hand and picked up another one: "This is the budget for this year's New Year's celebration, do you need to spend so much?"

"Your Highness, don't forget that our family hasn't held a New Year's celebration for two years. This year, Princess Celivia gave birth to a son-in-law, and you went out to win and came back, how can you not hold a grand New Year's celebration? Besides, the knights above the family commander will attend, and the Duke of Kenmeth, the Duke of Philim, the Duke of Saheen and all the nobles of the territory under our jurisdiction will come to participate, and the preliminary estimate is at least nearly a thousand. If we hold a New Year's party of low grade and cost, it will be a loss of dignity for our Norton family. ”

Well, Shi Fat Man made a lot of sense, Lorist stupidly threw this budget document for the New Year's celebration on the table, and muttered: "I just think this expense is a pure waste, it takes more than 70,000 gold fortunes in seven days......"

Lorist is such a character, he is extremely generous in spending a lot of money on the development of armaments and family domains, but he hates the money spent on the face of the nobility. Shi Fatzi said disapprerovantly: "Your Highness, this is an indispensable expense. The more we spend and the more lavish the banquet we have, the more they will perceive our family as powerful, and the more convenient our rule over them will be. ”

Lorist nodded, and picked up a document again: "What's the matter with that Hansk director?

"Your Highness, I have sent someone to find out about this, and I have also carefully examined the account book of expenditures. The main problem was that there was too much rework, and the mountain laborers who were assigned to build the road were very restless, causing a lot of chaos, delaying the progress of the whole project, and making the construction period have to be delayed. Not only is the budget now more than half, but the original three-year completion deadline will also be delayed to ......four years," replied Shi Fatzi.

"Then how is Director Hansk in charge, and he doesn't have any punishment for those mountain brute laborers?" asked Lorlist, frowning.

"Your Highness," Shi Fatzi took a deep breath: "In fact, these problems of the mountain barbarian labor were caused by the Hansk director, and he wanted to speed up the construction period, so he extended the working hours of the mountain barbarian laborers, and at the same time reduced the most basic welfare of those mountain barbarian laborers, so that the dissatisfaction of those mountain barbarian laborers reached the peak. Director Hansk, on the other hand, resorted to harsher punishments, which eventually provoked a riot of mountain brute laborers. Although it was suppressed by the Guards, the rest of the people were panicked, and the mountain brute laborers began to grind from then on......"

"Why don't I know any of these things?"

"Your Highness, I can't interfere in these things. After all, Director Hansk is the person in charge, and he is the one who suppresses these things. I didn't pay attention to it at first, and it wasn't until Director Hansk asked for an increase in the budget that I felt something was wrong, and I sent someone to investigate and found out that this was the case. And Tagger went to the city of Moriente again, and I can't interfere with him on his side, thinking that you are also coming back soon, waiting for you to deal with it. ”

Lorist nodded, Shi Fat Man is right to do this, the Volibel Intelligence Investigation Bureau on Tagger's side must have a file on the matter of Hansk's supervisor, but Targar has something to go to Morent City to investigate the battle situation between the Business Alliance and the Central and South Kingdom coalition forces, and the intelligence here slows down.

Loriste tugged at the bell rope by the wall, and Genolio came in from outside the study.

"Genorio, you go to the Lower Volibel Intelligence Investigation Bureau, and bring over there the information about the Business Alliance and the Central South Kingdom Coalition War Bureau, as well as the files about the head of Hansk. Lorist commanded.

"Yes, Your Highness. ”

"If I were to remove Haskek from his post as superintendent, who do you think would replace him in the construction of the Northland's road transport?" asked Lorlist.

Shi Fatzi thought for a while: "Your Highness, I think the most critical thing about this project lies in those mountain brute laborers. The mountain barbarians have always been unruly, and are more difficult to manage than the prisoner labor of our family who were previously captive. It takes a combination of grace to get them to obey orders, and I think Director Codan fits the bill perfectly. ”

Lorist thought for a moment and nodded, "Well, I'll think about it." ”

"There is another matter, Your Highness must deal with it as soon as possible. Shi Fatzi stood up and found a blue folder in the three stacks of unprocessed documents of Lorist: "Your Highness, this is the list of people who need to be promoted to the knighthood this year, you see." If I am sure, I will need to arrange a territory for them and prepare various supporting documents. ”

Lorist opened the folder, looked at the list, nodded, picked up the pen and added a name to it: Reddy.

"Your Highness, Reddy hasn't been promoted to Golden Knight yet......"

"Hehe......" Lorist laughed, "He can't be promoted at all, but his current level is almost the same as a first-level great sword master." ”

Shi Fatzi slapped his forehead in annoyance, how could he forget that Reddy is the eldest disciple of Lorist, and he is practicing the cultivation techniques of the Oriental warrior monk, and he is a guy who pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger like Lorlist. He laughed too, "I see." ”
