Chapter 298: On Meritorious Deeds

readx;? Duke Catherine, who was in the Boulder Castle, "has not stopped paying attention to Xiao Han's Guan Ren and Chuanhuangsha City, and even for this, she did not hesitate to use His Majesty's strongest secret agent. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

She couldn't figure it out, how it was clear that Meng Han didn't have much gold coins, and his daily gold coin income seemed to be only able to maintain Meng Han's luxurious life, but she didn't know why, all of a sudden, Meng Han had an extra handicraft auction of the elf clan, and then, the gold coins obtained made His Majesty the Grand Duke feel greedy.

The struggle between His Majesty the Grand Duke and the Marquis seems to have reached a point where people are even more speechless, to this point, the competition is not how much the army is mastered, the competition is not the number of masters, the competition is not the number of nobles who surrender, the number of speakers, but it boils down to the simplest thing that makes people speechless on the gold coin. Their struggle is now more than who has more gold coins.

As long as there are enough gold coins, then you can arm more armies, you can attract more masters and even magicians, you can buy more nobles, and you can get more voice. It may seem ridiculous, but it is what it is. The economic base determines the superstructure, it seems in this. The world also has an irrefutable truth.

For this reason, Princess Catherine definitely put more energy into understanding how Viscount Antonio of Huangsha City easily went from Huangsha Town, which had no big son, to the richest in the Duchy in just a few years. If he can learn such skills, it seems that His Majesty the Grand Duke does not have to worry about the hostility of the Marquis.

Of course, Meng Han didn't know that there was a princess Catherine who had met once and was naΓ―ve and wanted to sacrifice herself in exchange for Meng Han's support was paying close attention to his movements, and he was now happy to have another source of wealth, and it was the most lucrative source of money.

His Highness had just understood what Meng Han meant. Selling it to him again means that Meng Han will wipe out all the people he sent out, and then when His Highness needs to buy weapons again, he will sell the same batch of goods twice and make money twice. Other words. Meng Han was confident that he would annihilate anyone he sent out to find trouble.

How arrogant and ignorant is this? Even if Meng Han's two hundred personal guards are outstanding, even if their weapons are extremely sharp, even if the castle of Huangsha City is a little stronger, His Highness will never believe that two hundred personal guards plus a few thousand city guards can fight against tens of thousands of troops. Also, how can a guy who only knows how to make money and even does not hesitate to sell such high-quality weapons to the enemy, can understand this?

After thinking about this, His Highness was suddenly reluctant to kill Meng Han in the barracks. On the one hand, Meng Han had already said that the arms trade could only be carried out after the war was over, and on the other hand, it would be more enjoyable to keep a stupid guy who would make money and wait until he was fat enough to slaughter it.

"Hahahaha!" His Highness almost bent over with laughter, and after a period of unusually ungraceful leaning back and forth, he seemed to pat Meng Han's shoulder boldly, and laughed: "Viscount Antonio, you really know how to tell jokes!hahahaha!" The officers behind His Highness also burst into laughter, but this time they behaved well, at least when they laughed, they still maintained their vigilance, not the loose discipline last time. It seems that Meng Han's threat still worked.

"Okay!" His Highness finally straightened up, stopped laughing so loudly, his face returned to normal, looked at Meng Han, and replied very seriously: "I'm waiting for that day to come, if that's the case, I'll double the price and buy that batch of weapons back." ”

"Deal, Your Highness!" Meng Jian still maintained a professional smile towards the customer, although this customer's business of only two thousand gold coins sounded not big enough, but who made the family have the potential spending power?

When His Royal Highness also left, those nobles who had already drunk it rushed up to finalize the purchase of high-quality weapons with Meng Han. Meng Han didn't get tired of it, but he couldn't shirk it, until this moment, Meng Han regretted it, he knew that in this way, he would be able to avoid this trouble by bringing either Grace or Alice over.

Although they were bored, these dozens of lords still brought Meng Han the business of more than 20,000 high-quality swords, although the sales of each lord were a few hundred when it was evenly divided, but the whole total, plus the orders of His Highness and the Marquis, had also exceeded 30,000. In other words, the business of at least 60,000 gold coins, if nothing else, will be steadily obtained. Worth more than 600 million yuan, whether in this world or in the previous world, it can be regarded as a big business.

Sure enough, the arms business is still very profitable! Although the profits of silk are also more than 100 times higher, silk is a monopoly business, but arms are not. But there is also the profit of monopoly operation, and this is only the basic sword. How much can it be sold for if it is replaced with a metal crossbow? Just thinking about it makes people feel like there is a golden light in front of them.

The army is encamped, and the next gathering is naturally a reward for meritorious deeds. In the army, when "merit is not rewarded, there is no punishment, that is a taboo, you can clearly say that it is postponed, but do not rumor, this victory is the first big victory since the enemy's invasion, of course, you must publicize it with great fanfare, and by the way boost your morale. In this case, how can we be less rewarded for meritorious deeds?

It's just that whether it is the Marquis or His Royal Highness, Meng Han's commendation is a little headache. The soldiers and even Commander Leo were very good at saying that a formal military position, and then a reward of some gold coins would be enough, and they had already made a lot of money anyway. However, it is different for Meng Han, Meng Han is a nobleman, a nobleman with a title, he personally went to the front line to kill in person, this is an unprecedented example of power, a good example that can stimulate all the armies to unite around the noble commander, how can it be played lightly?

Reward gold coins? Just kidding, how much can you reward? With Meng Han's family background, he will look at that pitiful gold coin? Reward the title? Meng Han has only been promoted to viscount for less than a year, can he give another earl? Even if the marquis wants to give it, His Royal Highness will never agree. If it is given to Earl Meng Han, it is necessary to have a proper territory, so should all the territory around Stormwind be allocated to Meng Han? Isn't this a joke?

However, even if it was simply for the sake of the weapons provided by Huangsha City, His Highness had to consider this issue carefully. It's not that he doesn't want to directly seize the property of Huangsha City, but he has already had several experiences, and everyone understands that those riches are only wealth when they flow out of Meng Han's hands, and if others grab them, it can only be a burden.

"Tony, what do you want, say it bluntly. As long as I can do it, I will approve it immediately. "Lord Marquis is more direct, in front of the commander-in-chief prince and other colleagues around him, ** nakedly let Meng Han make a request. Hearing the Marquis say this, whether it was a meritorious person or a non-meritorious fellow, when he looked at Meng Han, his eyes were red.

"However, forget the title, you have only been promoted for a short time. Without waiting for Meng Han to speak, the Marquis immediately put forward the restrictions, and even gave a reason, which made it impossible to refute: "In addition, presumably you are not short of gold coins, giving you gold coins is an insult to you, you can say it yourself, what do you want? beauty, slave, as long as you want!"

Lord Marquis's words, even His Royal Highness did not object, and nodded frequently over there. As long as Meng Hanti is not excessive, he can be satisfied at any time.

As soon as such a proposal came out, even Meng Han himself was stunned for a moment and thought about it, but it seemed that there was no better solution than this. I seem to be a little too special, and even when I talk about rewarding meritorious deeds, I can't reward them, which is not a good sign. Meng Han secretly warned himself, his mind flickering rapidly.

"Well, in that case, I'll make a few requests. Meng Han quickly thought of a few solutions, and said: "First, including this battle, and counting the future battles, I have the right of first refusal to purchase all prisoners of war."

It's just that he asks for priority to buy, and in terms of price, everyone knows Meng Han's boldness, and this request is not too much at all. It doesn't matter who it is, what is the prisoner of war captured for? Is it to pay for him? Not to sell it for money, it is the same for whomever it is sold. No one will object to this request, and even many people have secretly made up their minds that as long as they have slaves in their hands, they will sell some to Meng Han, and everyone will make friends.

"In addition, I want ten official knights of the principality. Meng Han then put forward the second request: "My soldiers bravely killed the enemy, and they should have such a status." ”

This request was also adopted without objection. His Royal Highness even waved his hand and said very generously: "In addition to the meritorious upgrades on the battlefield, you will be given a place of twenty knights, and you can reward your loyal subordinates at any time, Lord Viscount." "It's just a knight's name. Since the principality doesn't need to pay a lot of money or something, just give it, it's just a name, who cares?

"Third, I ask the Principality's Magic Academy to be able to do magic trials for my two handmaidens as magic apprentices!" "Since he decided to cultivate Demi and Diana, Meng Han certainly didn't want to go far and far to ask for something that could be solved in his own principality, in the name of having this name, it was more convenient.

"If Dean Green doesn't agree, I don't mind changing to a dean who can agree. The Marquis was in the gang, smiling and giving a guarantee of this moment, although the identity of the magician was respected, but, under the aura of the nobles, he was still pressed by the power.

"Okay, that's it for now, and then I'll talk about it when I think about it. Meng Han thought about it and no longer made any excessive demands. At this time, what he needed was Taoguang to raise obscurity, not Ran as the Marquis's pawn to charge into battle. It's better to lower your thumb.

"Rewards are rewards, but military merit is indispensable. The Marquis once again took the place of the commander-in-chief of His Highness, and announced loudly: "This victory, Viscount Antonio is still the meritorious. Who disagrees with this?"
