When the last emperor of the Franks was Bilon An, his sword power was raised to the point of exchanging one gold florin for two and a half gold rubles!

Recently, Bran wanted to involve the family in the currency business, and began to learn about currency arbitrage, and the scissors and sharp iron on the table and the glass mirror were used to distinguish the real from the fake.

In this era, it is very difficult for civilians to borrow money from the guild, and Bran even wants to provide funds to other civilians, but this will be slowly promoted.

When I was thinking about how to improve the bank's regulations, someone entered the office to report that it seemed that the eldest son of the village chief Raymond was outside, and he was laying a thin wooden plank.

Bran also wanted to get tired, so he stopped writing and walked out to see Tom soaking wet.

When Bran saw this kid yesterday, he was kneading bread, a very thin fellow, but he was not slow on his hands and feet.

Looking at the ground in front of him, Bran understood, at this time the rain was already falling and was invisible, Bran stepped on the plank and walked out, when he walked to the end, the length of the plank was still poor, and there was still half a meter of mud space that had not been covered.

Tom, who was quick-eyed, immediately took off his clothes and covered them, just in time to step on them and jump over them.

"Your Highness, your shoes should not be defaced." Tom bowed his head.

At this point, he was thrilled in his heart, thinking that Bran would praise him.

"Put it on." Bran didn't step on the garment, but stepped on the other end, and the shoe was stained with mud.

It had just rained, the sky was clear, and Bran looked from the farmhouse, the estate, the river, to the mountains in the distance.

After admiring the scenery for a while, Bran went to the stables to see Holmhaus.

Tom was left stunned.

Tie Shan also saw this scene, yesterday he was drunk and forgot about it, just now someone reminded him, before he could do it, he was slapped by Tom and made a plank, seeing this, he suddenly felt a little unhappy.

After ten o'clock, when the rain had stopped, the tent was torn down and the open air was rejoicing.

There were no artificial musical instruments, so the peasants celebrated with the most primitive instruments, such as the throat, hands, buttocks, and other limbs, making sounds.

Bran attends in ordinary clothes, but in the eyes of the villagers, it is a valuable costume.

Raymond called his eldest daughter, who was still fifteen years old and had not yet married, and the eldest sister of Tom's mother, to serve as a drinking helper.

With a red foundation on her face and one of the brightest dresses in the house, she looks like a "prostitute"

But who can say who can say the taste of the aristocracy? Raymond thought it would be nice if Bran could take a fancy to him.

Bran didn't feel the beauty of the girl, the whole village looked like that, with a mouth open and black teeth, and there seemed to be gray on the face or skin, and these dirt were the impression of aging from overwork.

A newlywed couple greeted Bran, dressed in the cleanest set of clothes they had ever had, and carrying a beautiful round wreath of branches and petals on their heads.

The man is seventeen and the woman is fifteen, but the woman is taller than the man.

Bran casually took out two "hard fructodies" that he bought in a city shop and rewarded them to the couple, which was enough.

After all, Bran also paid for part of the wedding food, which was in the ordinary feudal manor, and the knights or barons, hearing that a lord was married, would come to collect a meal and let the bride pour wine and serve and flirt.

Then there is the whim of the nobles, bullying men and women, and then the humiliated lords either swallow their anger or embark on the road of resistance......

After a while, Tom helped bring the fluffy bread to bake, and he first handed over the white bread that Bran and a few of the big men had for themselves.

As he put it down, Bran suddenly stopped Tom.

"Literacy?"

"If a visitor to or from the village can read and write, I will always ask them to teach me a few letters and learn to make people happy."

Bran's white bread is marked with a knife, a "Latin" word used for praise.

And not only his, but all the bread is there.

Two years ago, an ascetic monk who passed by wrote to him after thanking him for a bowl of water.

"Your name is Tom?"

"Yes."

"Not bad."

The meaning of Bran's good sentence is vague, but it does not affect Tom's good mood, he is praised by His Highness!

When Tom brought the bread to Iron Mountain, he got a stern look, and he quickly bowed his head and retreated.

"What is this written about?"

"Good words, you see His Highness smiled."

"Stinking boy who slaps on the back."

Iron Mountain's attendant scolded Tom, spat on the ground, and continued to blow the wind on Iron Mountain, so that Iron Mountain also had a trace of disgust for this little man.

Later, Tom also served some new bread that he and his master had made, with dried or pickled fruits, which were very popular.

Bran left early after he had eaten his fill, allowing the guests to have more free time.

He had House taken out for a walk in the neighborhood, and now House was taller than Bran, with smooth and shiny black hair, strong and slender limbs, and half the food of horses of the same age, and very picky eaters, especially corn, black beans or syrup, and crispy pastures, and general coarse forage.

And his reward for Bran, the master, is that he is as gentle as the wind when he moves, and docile when he is quiet.

In the village square, there is a training square paved with stones and sand, where tomorrow the would-be mercenaries recruited from Meath will be examined.

Carol drank too much wine, and rode with him on horseback from Iron Mountain, his horse was grayish and yellow, and his body was as strong as House, but when he galloped, he was much worse.

Tie Shan was followed by two favored squad leaders.

After tomorrow, the number of the Teutonic mercenary group will be expanded to 200 people.

The structure is set as: regiment - brigade (1) - squadron (2) - squad (6), this four-level system.

As the number increases, there must be the laws of the mercenary group itself, such as the right to distribute the spoils of war, the compensation for injuries of different degrees, the allowance for each position, and the punishment for violating the laws of the mercenary group.

After referring to other mercenary groups through Carol, he personally dictated and asked Simon to write it down.

In terms of rank, Carol, who is appointed as an advisor, is the most noble, followed by the regiment commander Tie Shan, and the deputy regiment commander Jack.

Simon served as the "chief of affairs" in the logistics position, exclusive to Bran, giving three assistants, dispatching food, negotiating, and distributing money.

There is no doubt about the status of these four people, all of whom have at least five years of seniority, but the captain below, Howard, has given a yellow-skinned, North African "Tunisian warrior" named Desley, who will bring a group of mercenaries tomorrow.

"Whew!"

"Yes, Your Highness is really accurate."

After dismounting and practicing archery, Bran suddenly saw Tom peeking in the distance, so he had him brought over.

Bran looked the man up and down again.

"You have a good bread and dessert today, it suits my appetite, if you want to be a baker? I can get you into the city guild and continue your studies. ”
