"Humph! look at my snowball!"

"Ahh Come on, everyone!"

"Hit. Hit!"

The sound of children having snowball fights is heard by adults on the morning when the snow stops.

The adults are tolerant of these children's joyful plays.

There are even occasional pairs of young couples. Joined the team playing in the snow, and the older people all looked at it with smiles.

On the streets of Tetacho, the joy almost melts the snow.

"Drive!" Several carriages, under the protection of numerous guards, from the aristocratic district of Yuanfan City. Walk in the direction of the outside of the city.

"There are a lot of people in front, slow down, don't disturb the citizens, it's rare to have a New Year's atmosphere, don't make an accident to spoil it. Romon poked his head out of the carriage, glanced ahead, and then commanded left and right.

Obviously, this joyful sound in the snow also caught his attention.

"Yes, sir!" said the knights who had commanded them, and slowed their advances, as did the coachmen who were in several carriages.

"Get out of the way!" shouted the knight who had opened the way in front.

"Ah, there's a carriage coming, let's get there!"

"Get out of the way, there's a carriage coming!"

As soon as I saw the carriage coming, the people who were playing in the snow on the side of the road flashed to the side, although they were not standing in the middle of the road just now, but the snow was so slippery, if you are not careful, who knows what will happen?

And he saw that the people on the road had divided into a wide path. The caravan of horses and chariots slowly passed.

"It seems to be the lord's escort that passed just now!" someone had sharp eyes and recognized it at once.

"I think so, so many guards are protecting. If it's not a lord, who can have such a grandeur?" said an aunt in response.

Not to mention how the citizens were discussing the group of men and horses that had just passed, but only that Romon was sitting in the carriage at this time, although his face was very calm, his heart was not at all calm.

"Romon, listen to Cassirer, are you going to take them around the territory?" Fafer, who was sitting in the same carriage as Romon, endured for a while, but finally didn't hold back and spoke.

Luo Meng glanced at him: "I'm not going, they are going by themselves, what, what do you think?"

"As the Viscount's best friend, how can I not protect everyone as the first batch of students of the Giant Eagle Academy?" said Fafer with a smile.

"Less, your responsibilities are heavy, the port is now more and more prosperous, and hundreds of people have settled in the city last month, and the situation is getting more and more mixed. Do you still have time to travel?" Romon couldn't help but roll his eyes and said, "You are still honest as the captain of the city guard, and when you have time, help Nick with some daily affairs." ”

"Well, I knew. Every time I go out, there will be no me. Fafer shrugged his shoulders and said.

In fact, he also knew that as the commander of the Yuanfan Port City Guard, he had a heavy responsibility.

Luo Meng jokingly said, "Why don't you go out for a walk, and I will take your place for the time being?"

"Don't!" Hearing this, Fafer hurriedly waved his hand and shook his head: "You better spare me." In this case, when I come back, everyone will besiege me, and Nick will be the first to let me go. "Haha, do you remember what happened last time?" Romon couldn't help laughing: "I said Fafer, you're too stingy, aren't you? You remember a little thing so clearly last time!"

Fafer said with some annoyance: "How could I forget? I only went out for half a month last time, and when I came back, I was told by Nick and them for two months. ”

Romon approached him unkindly: "Huh? I've heard you say something different. Didn't you say before that you should sincerely admit your mistakes, why are you complaining now?"

Fafer snorted.

Romon leaned back in his chair and said slowly, "I know it's not easy for you, this time I decided to make it up to you!"

"Compensate me?" Fafer's heart moved, but on the surface, he still pretended not to care, and asked, "Tell me?"

"I have received the news that this time, Shakat and Prince Tyusenya have returned victorious, not only receiving the rewards of those kings, but also many ships and weapons from the elves. I have a share of these loot, and I'll pick a few for you!"

"What you said is true?" Hearing Romon say this, Fafer's face smiled

Wei

Luo Xi said lightly: "When did I lie to you?"

After looking at Fafer, Romon said, "After the New Year, send all your sons, and come to me, not for enjoyment, but as a servant." ”

In this world, the best tradition is that the aristocracy attaches more importance to the training of boys.

Generally, the children of the nobility, by the age of seven. He was sent to the castle or residence of the superior lord, which was not a pleasure, but to be a boy and live with his wife and children.

Although there is not much work at the age, it is necessary to serve the master.

Of course, from the age of seven to fourteen, the superior lord will also teach many things, knowledge, etiquette, playing, chess, and swordsmanship.

At the age of fourteen, determine the profession, if it is a knight. Continue to learn fencing, spears, clubs, bows and arrows, shields, and horsemanship at the house of the superior lord. Familiarize yourself with how to steer your weapons on the back of a fast-running horse, attack your enemies, and take part in the hunt.

The life, work, and training of aristocratic teenagers are very hard, but Fafer said with a smile: "Of course. If it weren't for that, our nobles would have been decayed a long time ago, by the way, your son, in another year, you will have to send it out, right? Which one are you going to send?"

"With your current situation, it seems that only His Royal Highness the Prince, as well as a few marquises, and a grand duke can accept it, or, simply His Majesty?"

"My son is not ready to give it away. Romon said calmly.

"Your Excellency, you're too spoiled!" said Fafer, "and it's easy to corrupt and take responsibility." ”

Because of his friendship, he spoke very directly, and for thousands of years, it was the maintenance of such a system that enabled generations of nobles to wield power and be absurd. There is evil, there is goodness, and there is mediocrity. But nobles who are too corrupt are really uncommon.

"It's not coddling, I'm different from everyone else. I was a first-generation nobleman and didn't have many sons. There are a lot of enemies, what if there is an accident?"

"I can assure you that there may not be much time for him to get out. An accident will be reported to me. "It's a tradition that needs to be maintained, but not in the first generation. ”

This tradition not only makes the aristocracy successful, but also a connection.

Recruit the children of the nobles from all over the locality"; for the sake of the subordinates, many of the big nobles and powerful forces have expanded their influence, and some of them have even opened schools for this purpose to recruit noble young people to come to study and receive training.

Some kings also specifically ordered the nobles to "send their sons to his court to be trained and trained in preparation for the selection of good knights in the future."

Of course, it is a big expense to bear the living expenses of many subordinates, but for this. It doesn't matter.

"The first generation!" Fafer couldn't help but think, and it was true: "Then you can have a few more." ”

"A few more rebirths" is not a reason to send my son to die, our family is only one generation, the foundation is too shallow, and it is very easy to have an accident. Romon didn't say anything.

In fact, the stronger the professional, the more difficult it is to have a child, Suzusuo and Elini, who have been with him for a year, have not had the slightest sign of getting pregnant again.

There are no precautions, in fact. Elean and Suzusuke, both want another one.

At this time, the carriage suddenly stopped. Romon poked his head out and glanced at it, and said to Fafer, "The dock has arrived, get out of the car, and we'll talk about it later." ”

At the same time that the two got down from the carriage, some officials also came down from the carriage behind, and they all gathered towards Romone.

"Go to the docks. After Romon finished speaking, he took the lead. Protected by a large group of guards, towards the docks

。

At this moment, the small Ambilight of the Mage Tower was shining beautifully, and Romon glanced up, and then locked his gaze on the other side of the sea.

At that end, a large number of ships began to appear.

"It's coming, it's coming!" the crowd on the dock whispered excitedly.

"Finally back. Luo Meng stood in the middle of the crowd with a smile on his face, and kept watching the big ship come to the shore, then he took a deep breath and muttered to himself.

He was very concerned about the sixty percent of the navy he had sent out, and he was very happy when he knew that they had gained a large amount of booty without any losses.

For his own navy team, he treats it as a descendant, and his concern is much stronger, and now he is very pleased to see the return of the navy.

Soon, on the battleship, people walked down one after another. First came Prince Husenya's Fourth Fleet, which caused a small commotion as soon as they came from the ship.

Seeing that these people began to have a chilling momentum, the long-distance war was really a good exercise for them.

"Viscount Tetasho, long time no see. As soon as he got off the boat, he saw Romon standing on the pier, walked a few steps, and hugged Romon with a charming smile.

"Your Royal Highness, after not seeing you for many days, you are becoming more and more heroic, you are now an eighth-level knight, right?" Luo Meng said with a smile on his face.

Prince Xiu Senya's smile stiffened slightly, and he said rather depressedly: "I said Romon, can you not talk about this topic, alas, I thought, go out." It's upgraded, it's very happy, it's comparable to you. Immediately it was nothing, I was suspicious. If you're a mage, the next time we meet, maybe it'll be a legend talking to me!"

"Prince Xiu Senya, you are the commander, and it has surprised me to reach the eighth level, especially your achievements, it really amazes me!" Romon said with a smile, this is the truth.

The prince seems to really have command talent and the quality of a famous general, and in the past half a year of war, the losses have been very victorious, and he is really cunning and cunning. At this time, from another battleship, a person walked down. When Romon saw it, the smile on his face became thicker, and he said sorry to Prince Xiu Senya first, and he walked over.

"Shakat, I already know everything about you, and it really increases the prestige of the Fifth Captain!" Romon complimented Shakat.

"Your Excellency, you have won the prize. Shakat hurriedly said modestly.

"It's not excessive, this time you have established meritorious deeds, and I will count them when I go back, it seems that we are in our territory. It's going to be more than one lord, haha. ”

After that, Shakat went to organize the soldiers to disembark, and Romon walked back to Prince Huxenya's side.

"You're really nice to your subordinates!" said Prince Husenya.

Luo Meng smiled, and then asked: "Your Royal Highness, I have only listened to some reports in the last few battles, what is the situation, you have to give me a good explanation." ”

"These battles are very fierce, but they are also worth it!" As soon as Prince Xiu Senya mentioned this battle, his spirit soared: "Let's talk while walking!"

This has been said for a long time.

Prince Huxenia left in the evening of the same day, and during the day, he first talked and drank with Romon and then the two giants rewarded the soldiers who went out this time, and at the same time, they compensated the soldiers who died in the battle.

And the spoils of war were divided.

And Romon said. Recently, 100,000 gold coins have been prepared, and since the last time I received the news, the rumors have been released.

The prince expressed his satisfaction.

Wait until Prince Xiu Senya and his party are sent away. Romon had just sat down and was about to take a break when Nick came looking for him again.

Nick was so busy today that he didn't even see the figure. As soon as he came in, he said to Romon, "Romon." I heard that Shakat and they are back?"

"Yes, the return of the great victory,"

"I'd like to see it, but I'm going to be busy today. Nick sat across from Romon and exhaled, then said, "I'm going to take care of the envoys of the Chamber of Commerce today, and guess what? When they saw that you had become a Great Druid, a large number of people offered to do so. I'm going to help you out!"

As he spoke, he placed a thick stack of papers in front of Romon as Nick rubbed his eyebrows. "These are their applications," he said. There are those who say that they want to provide low-interest loans, and many middle-sized businessmen with assets have also offered to move to the city. ”

"I think they're all sincere, but. I can't call the shots about these things alone. No, I've brought it all, my lord, you can make a decision!"

"Nick, how many citizens are registered in our city now?"

"It's already six thousand five hundred, and since the last time you announced the establishment of the city, there have been one thousand more people now, and this is the result of your strict restrictions on citizenship. ”

"Citizenship is still limited, we only need professionals, knowledgeable people, and craftsmen. And the wealthy, as for ordinary labor, it is naturally the welfare of the people in the territory, so how can this employment opportunity be given to others?"

"But in this case, it will take some time to reach 10,000. ”

"It's six thousand five hundred, reaching ten thousand, how much time is there?" Romon knew that there was a standard for making an earl a city, reaching a population of 10,000 citizens.

But there's really no need to rush about this.
