Chapter 238: Duke
In December, the weather turns cooler. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
A carriage slowly drove along the official road outside the Spark Territory towards the city, and Duke lifted the curtain of the carriage to look outside, and his mind couldn't help but compare what he saw now with the impression he had from a year ago.
"A large area of farmland here has been fenced, and it is estimated which businessman contracted this farmland, recruited farmers, and carried out this kind of collective production~"
"I don't know if it's true or not, but for these businessmen, being a farmer is a surefire business. ”
"After all, there is no need to worry about the sale of grain, and the kingdom's grain depot directly buys the excess grain, but under the control of the kingdom's market price, these grain merchants cannot raise the price of grain at will. ”
Hearing Duke's voice in the carriage, the soldiers driving the carriage in front also continued.
"There is a fixed price stipulated above, and the grain business can only be said to be stable, and the trade with the dwarves is the most profitable. ”
Duke couldn't help but smile and said, "You kid is all hearsay, the dwarf trade used to make a lot of money, but then the dwarves also understood the market, and this money is not as much as before." ”
"If you want to make more money, it is still the kind of mechanized textile mills that have emerged in recent years to make more money, and the cost of that thing is too low, that is, the machines needed to build factories need to trouble the Goblin Research Institute. ”
Even the soldiers who were taught by Duke to drive were not annoyed, and still said with a smile, "It is said that these machines were originally proposed by His Majesty the King?"
"Yes~ His Majesty's wisdom is indeed one of my greatest admirers, his wisdom is like the starry sky at night, and there is no limit to be seen. ”
While chatting, the soldier suddenly patted his head and asked Duke mysteriously.
"My lord, what kind of title should you be awarded this time? I feel that at least you are a viscount. ”
Duke, who had already lifted the curtain of the carriage door and tied it with a thin rope, couldn't help but laugh when he saw the expectant expression of his own soldiers.
In fact, generals other than Ryan Giggs were not eligible to serve as personal guards. However, the fact that there can be no establishment on the surface does not mean that there cannot actually be a few people to help these generals deal with some daily private affairs.
Therefore, this pro-soldier also learned the purpose of Duke's return to the Spark Territory this time from the words that Duke usually inadvertently revealed.
"You guy, don't speculate about Your Majesty's wishes casually, let alone talk about things about His Majesty the King casually, otherwise you will suffer a big loss in the future. ”
Hearing Duke's words, the soldiers hurriedly bowed their heads and admitted their mistakes, seeing that he had a good attitude, Duke couldn't help but nod.
"Pay attention to yourself, I'm going to let you go to the military academy to study, and after graduation, becoming an officer will be able to make your family's lintel shine. ”
"Thank you for cultivating ~ Thank you for cultivating ~ " The soldier said excitedly, this kind of good thing falling on his head made him feel unrealistic.
"You deserve it, and you've suffered a little more than you've been under me for so many years. ”
"As for the title you just asked, it's hard to say, after all, I don't know how many noble titles Your Majesty is going to release. ”
"But there is one thing I have received from the truth, and when the Kingdom Celebration is over, you can change your name to be the Brigade Commander. Haha~"
Duke thought of the news from a letter that Giotto had brought him earlier, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Congratulations, congratulations~" The soldiers hurriedly congratulated, making Duke's mood feel good.
After continuing to chat for a while, looking at the crowd that had gradually increased in front of him, Duke directly lowered the curtain and whispered.
"It's time to enter the city, be cautious in everything you say and do, you must know that the city is full of people there, and if you accidentally get caught, it won't be easy in the future~"
Hearing Duke's words, the soldiers couldn't help but feel a pang in their hearts, and their faces became serious, he knew what Duke meant by 'that', and when he thought about it, he felt that his face was not very good-looking.
Driving the carriage intently, more than an hour later, the carriage heard Duke in front of the Spark Collar's house.
Half an hour after Duke arrived home, before he had reported to Giggs and Joe, news of his return had reached Gibson's desk.
"Is Duke back too? That means that all the people who are going to be canonized at this celebration have arrived at the Spark Territory, just wait until the celebration begins. ”
"Tsk, it's incredible to think about it, I, Gibson, actually have a day to become a noble~"
Gibson's muttering in the room was naturally unknown to anyone, and it was already three o'clock in the afternoon when Giggs received Duke's request to see him.
Giggs, who was having afternoon tea with his family, couldn't help frowning and said to the guards soldiers who came to report.
"Let him wait in the parlor for a while, and say that I have something to deal with for the time being, and I will see him later." ”
"Yes!"
After the soldiers left, Diana, dressed in a princess dress, sat directly in Giggs's arms, stuffed the pastry in her little hand into her mouth, and said to Giggs.
"If my brother has official business, you don't have to accompany us~"
The words of the dwarf little Lori made all the women in the courtyard nod, and they all said that they didn't care about leaving this afternoon tea early, but the women of Celia looked at Diana with strange eyes.
This kind of forced behavior on Giggs made them can't help but think of the previous Elena, although Diana's current height is only a little over a meter, but these women all know Diana's real age.
"I'm a year older than when I met my brother~" Elena looked at Diana with one hand around Giggs's neck and the other hand feeding Giggs pastries, and felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.
However, Giggs's words quickly diluted the somewhat savory atmosphere between the women, but a sweetness rose in his heart.
"It's just a simple debriefing, and I don't want to interrupt a pleasant afternoon like this, after all, you are everything to my heart. ”
Giggs's words were very strong in emotion and sincerity, so that Seve who was drinking tea lightly looked at Giggs deeply, until he was scratched by Alaye in the palm of his hand and came back to his senses.
An hour later, Giggs walked to the living room with steady steps, saw Duke, who was still sitting upright, and nodded with satisfaction.
Seeing Giggs come in, Duke instantly bounced off his seat and gave a standard military salute to Giggs, and only sat down in his seat again after Giggs waved his hand.
"There were two riots in Petain after His Majesty left, but it didn't have much impact, it was directly extinguished. ”
"Now the situation over there has basically stabilized....." (To be continued.) )
