Chapter 4 Gold coins are just numbers

Clover, who was the least talkative, was also surprised: "How is it possible?"

Just now, this old man was dressed ordinarily, although he had two guards, but everyone thought that he was just an ordinary rich businessman. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Chris said, "The hilt of the guard's sword is inlaid with the family crest of the nobles!"

Hearing this, everyone turned their heads and looked behind them, but the old man and the two guards from before had already walked away.

The badge can be called a symbol of the glory and lineage of a noble family. Almost all the top luxury goods and private residences are emblems as the highest proof of the family, thus becoming the blood label of countless aristocratic groups in the mainland. Because it represents the hierarchical status of the nobility, each country has strict rules on the coat of arms, and it will also change with the change of the status and rank of the nobility. Strictly speaking, the badge cannot be regarded as the exclusive signature of the royal family, but its existence is like a business card, although it can be shared by everyone, the meaning is very different.

Originally, when the badge was created on the battlefield, it was primarily used to identify family guards from a distance who were unrecognizable due to the chain mail hood (up to the chin) and helmet nose guard that covered their faces.

After the end of the war, the carriages in which the ministers rode were painted uniformly black, and the black pressure was unrecognizable, and later a mark was drawn on the carriage to make it easier to distinguish - it is not surprising who did such a thing in the era when gate valves were valued. So the children and grandchildren respected their ancestors and kept them, and they continued to be fixed as the family emblem, and also used them to show off their family lineage.

According to statistics, one-third of the badges use the pattern of the animal as the main body.

Other non-animal motifs include scepters, bows and arrows, daggers, two-handed swords, horseshoes, spurs, hammers, stars, and crescent moons, all taken from various aspects of Chinese life. Because of the excitement of the content, after the war, the badge became a show-off ornament for the nobility.

The shield emblem with gold irises on a blue background is the symbol of the royal family of the Luo Lan Empire, representing loyalty, tenacity, and fraternity.

The three golden lily petals, which give the meaning of honesty, wisdom, and honor, are the hallmarks of the royal family of the Booth Empire.

The insignia of the royal family of the Bell Empire is a griffin and a sword on a gold background, which contains bravery and tenacity.

Chris's training in aristocratic etiquette from an early age included the recognition of insignia.

Although there are many kinds of badges, in the selection of badge patterns, all countries have basically adopted a conventional rule: the family crests of the nobles who have been honored for war are mostly edged by flames; the family crests of the nobles of the powerful ministers are edged with purple and gold; and the family crests of the ordinary nobles absolutely do not dare to choose these two types of patterns in the face of the world's condemnation.

"Although the old man's family crest just now is ordinary, he is not a meritorious family, but the title is at least a baron or viscount. Chris said slowly.

Stephen nodded, "A peaceful country!"

Everyone nodded yes.

"Maybe!"

Chris shrugged and glanced at Pandis quietly, only to see that she also frowned and was silent, perhaps because of the chain of Kratov, she seemed to sense something, and looked up at Chris white.

This rare appearance of Pandis's childlike appearance was extremely moving, and Chris was also stunned for a moment, and quickly turned his head away.

As they walked forward, they browsed the shops on both sides.

It seems that the markets in all the countries on the mainland do not have a very clear plan, and the blacksmith shop can be next to a food store or a clothing store, unlike in the previous life, there was a clear distinction between "snack streets" and "fashion streets", so it can be said that commercial management is still in a slightly chaotic state.

Not only the current Booth Empire but also the Luo Lan Empire, all of them are the same.

"Here!!" Dilan pulled Pandis into a gear shop.

"Hey, hey, hey. Arian smirked at Chris before entering the store.

Chris pushed him into the store angrily: "Hey, hey, hey, I'm afraid I won't have the money to pay, hurry up." ”

Although these words stinked like copper, Chris's tone was extremely bland, the living standards of the countries in the Tianlan Continent were not much different, and the daily expenses of a commoner's family of five for a lifetime were between 30,000 and 50,000 gold coins, for a lifetime!

In the last final challenge of Lantis Academy, Chris won 240,000 gold coins, but this unimaginable amount of money still cannot be compared to the "living expenses" given by Darnell.

What is the most valuable class of troops on the continent? not griffin cavalry, but heavy cavalry.

Generally speaking, the thickness, toughness, strength, and coverage area of the armor material must reach a certain level to ensure that the knight can withstand general slashing and bow killing. Sufficient thickness and area results in a huge weight, which in turn sacrifices maneuverability.

The armor is sturdy, the whole body is completely covered, and even the eyes are completely protected, not only the people have heavy iron armor, but even the war horses are also fully covered with iron armor.

In addition to the heavy armor of knights and horses, the choice of special horses must also be considered, and ordinary horses can never bear the weight of a heavy armor knight and their own heavy armor, so the heavy cavalry war horses are also expensive.

But, that's not enough.

The heavy cavalry relied on servants and other horses for their usual marches and to carry other combat and living equipment. If a knight does not have more than two servants, he will feel inconvenient to survive, and he will not even be able to get on and off the horse, change horses, and wear armor.

Therefore, a heavy cavalry must also have more than two retinues.

In general, a knight, two servants, a fine warhorse, a knight's heavy armor and weapons, and a horse's heavy armor. These most basic expenses are close to a thousand gold coins, and the cost of daily care, including the food and salary of three people and war horses, and daily care is between four hundred and six hundred a month.

The army used to defend the town of Kibu against the tide of beasts reached 5,000 men, because the terrain outside Kib town was flat, and the cavalry accounted for the vast majority, including more than 1,000 heavy cavalry.

Calculated for a thousand people, it would cost 400,000 to 600,000 gold coins on this heavy cavalry in a month.

Chris's 240,000 were thrown into the 1,000 heavy cavalry of Kib, so to speak, and not even a splash could be seen.

And Darnell, the lord of Kibu Town, who can bear this group of troops all year round, is even more generous to his sole heir, 240,000, a few 240,000!

There is so much money that, to put it mildly, it's not a gold coin, it's just a row of numbers.

That's why Chris looks at gold coins so indifferently, and several equipment stores can buy them, who has to worry about not being able to pay for them?

Then I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.

Past life, past life......

Amid laughter, everyone crowded into the store.

The equipment shop was much larger than Chassi's, and the items were much clearer, with weapons, magic robes, and armor hanging on the shelves and walls, jewelry in cabinets, and a note underneath that wrote the enchantments and prices of the items, and a few other customers looking at the goods.

The boys huddled in front of the weapon rack to look at the weaponry, and the two girls looked at the jewelry at the counter.

Two neatly dressed waiters walked out of the counter and carefully introduced to everyone.

Chris also came to the counter and chose a hair ornament with a light effect for his sister Irene, this naughty girl is already eight years old, and in a few years she will reach the level of talent enlightenment, as long as she doesn't go to a seminary, a warrior, a magician, or even an ordinary person.
