Chapter 298: Norman
In any case, both Deloff and Edwin were killed, and the biggest beneficiary was undoubtedly Aaron. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Maybe Aaron didn't say it explicitly, but the existence of such a person as Edwin would have a great impact on his rule.
A city does not need two rulers, nor does it need to have another person of higher prestige outside of the ruler.
After Edwin's funeral, the powerful Aaron began to reform Dahonla.
By the end of the battle, there were less than 700 of Dahula's soldiers.
All of these soldiers joined Aaron's ranks, and Aaron's army now numbered 2,000 men.
Aaron divided the two detachments into two legions, each with a thousand men.
The First Legion was led by Rice with Derek assisted by Rice, and the Second Legion was led by Frank with Crayford.
After dealing with this, Aaron also put Rice in charge of recruiting troops to replenish his combat power.
However, for several days in a row, only twenty or thirty people signed up, which made Aaron feel a lot of pressure. After much thought, Aaron decided to start an overwhelming propaganda campaign about the army in order to change the image of the army among the citizens.
On the other hand, because of the place where he had a foothold, Aaron also felt that Lorraine and the others did not need to stay in Shengde Si anymore, so he asked Lan Wen to lead twenty soldiers to fetch Lorraine and the five people back.
Aaron rubbed his head and leaned back in his chair.
The documents in front of me were piled up on the table like a hill, and each document had to be paid for.
100,000 gold coins is a lot, but when it was time to do something, I realized that 100,000 gold coins were just enough to stuff my teeth.
For this reason, Cameron complained in his ear more than once that there was no money and asked him to think of a way.
But what can he do?
At this moment, there was a knock at the door.
"Please come in. ”
As soon as Aaron finished speaking, the door opened.
"It's you, what's the matter?"
Aaron looked up and saw Carl walking in.
"I think my lord has a lot of trouble. Karl laughed.
"yes, no money. ”
Aaron scratched his head, didn't get a good rest for several days, and his hair turned into a chicken nest.
"Money is needed to repair barracks and city gates, money is needed to make uniform uniforms, money is needed to recruit soldiers, and money is needed to gather intelligence...... I'm going crazy with money. Carl, do you have a way to make money?"
"Making money is a businessman's business. If you want money, you should go to those businessmen. Ask me, and I can't afford to make money. ”
"O merchant...... Probably not. ”
Aaron smiled wryly, Dahonla's remoteness and distance from the port made it impossible for big merchants to exist, and those small merchants didn't make enough money for him to cover for a month.
He would not do anything to kill chickens and get eggs, and if he paid too much money and drove these small merchants away, it would also affect his rule.
"I now know that there is a sum of money that may be able to borrow your immediate needs. ”
Aaron was stunned, sat up straight, and asked, "Where did you get this money?"
"Edwin asked me to hand it over to you. ”
Only then did Aaron remember that Edwin had said that he had a sum of more than 100,000 gold coins. If you can really get this money, your urgent needs will not be lost.
"Where's the money?"
"In Mrs. Edwin's graveyard. Karl said.
......
Woan.
The central avenue is deserted, and there is no one to see for half a day, but in a hotel in the middle of the avenue, it is full of people.
"Lord Norman, what do you think is the difference between the current Waran and the previous Warn?"
An obese businessman was lying on a wide sofa and asked the bald middle-aged man who was leaning on the sofa and hugging and hugging him.
"Before, were you only talking about when Mitulin was in power? What was so good about Waan at that time? People were not at ease, and they didn't have the strength to do things. The military salary is tightly buckled, and the finances are also dry, how can it be comfortable now?"
Norman kissed the young girl beside him fiercely, and his greasy lips were imprinted on the girl's face.
The young girl didn't follow her mouth and slapped Norman lightly, causing Norman to laugh.
"That's right. My lord, do you know? Since the death of that old fellow in Mitulin, my monthly income has been the highest for the past six months, and I think it's bullshit that you can't trade slaves! A good slave can sell for a lot of money. There are also weapons, and I don't dare to buy or sell weapons in large quantities. But in this period, isn't it common to fight wars? Of course, the cost of weapons is not small. Miturin is really brainless, I don't know what he thinks. ”
The complaint of the merchant opposite, Norman raised his thumbs high.
"Brother, that's right! Without him, we would be where we are now. Let's raise a glass to the great Lord Wilder. ”
"Raise your glass!"
The two men's wine glasses collided, and red wine spilled on their wrists.
"My lord, I heard that you have recruited a lot of soldiers now?"
Norman waved his hand: "There are so many." It's just that I've found three or four thousand more......"
"Three or four thousand?"
Listening to Norman's words, stars appeared in the fat man's eyes, and he kept calculating in his heart.
A legion of three or four thousand people, if all equipped with armor and weapons, is a lot of income. Seeing that asking Norman to come over today is the right bet.
"I said how it looks, how can there be so many fewer men in Wo'an City, it turns out that they have all gone to serve as soldiers. Also, if I go to the army, I am a real man, but it's a pity that I'm a little old, otherwise I would like to become a small soldier waved by adults. ”
"Don't say that, everybody has a different role. If you become a soldier, give me weapons. Brother, weapons and equipment must be good, I am not afraid of spending money. ”
Norman slapped the merchant on the shoulder and shouted.
The fat man looked flattered, nodded again and again, and poured Norman another glass of wine: "The future of the kid depends on the adult." ”
"Follow me well, and the benefits will be yours in the future. ”
Norman had just finished his drink in one gulp when a soldier ran in.
"Your Excellency, a letter from Ancient Munlet. ”
Norman was stunned: "Ancient Munlett?"
"Congratulations, sir, maybe it's another compliment for being promoted and making a fortune. ”
Norman grinned: "I borrow your auspicious words, but I am the first batch of nobles who have taken refuge in Lord Huaide, so naturally I will be taken care of." As for others, they may not have this blessing. ”
Taking the letterhead, Norman slowly opened it, looked at it carefully, his face first tightened, and then slowly eased, and there was more joy in his expression.
It is the businessman's ability to look at words and looks, and the fat man has already guessed the meaning of eight or nine points after just one glance.
"Seems really a good thing?"
"It's no different from what you just guessed, but this time, I'm going to ask my brother for help. Norman put the letterhead away and said with a grin.
