"Much, how much?" asked the Yorkie butler, stammering to himself, I must have misheard!

Alan stretched out three fingers again: "Three hundred thousand, three hundred thousand gold coins." ”

Alan repeated it twice in a row, and the York housekeeper finally determined that he had heard correctly, and Alan was talking about 300,000!

"Lord Allen, are you kidding?" asked the Yorkie butler with a dark face, "All the liquid funds in our City Lord's Mansion combined, there are no 300,000!"

The working capital of the City Lord's Mansion is, of course, 300,000. The Falven family, where the city lord of Benedict belongs, has been running the city of Nice for many years, and has already accumulated a huge amount of wealth, not to mention 300,000 gold coins, and the city lord's mansion can get 1 million gold coins.

But if it is given to Huaxia Ling for free, let alone 300,000 gold coins, the 100,000 gold coins City Lord's Mansion will not be willing to give out.

It's really Allen, it's too lion to open his mouth!

In fact, when Alan said the figure of 300,000, he didn't really want so much, unless the City Lord's Mansion was a fool, he would definitely not agree.

As long as the City Lord's Mansion can give him a reward of 50,000 gold coins, Alan will be satisfied, and shouting out 300,000 gold coins is just a sky-high asking price.

Here, Alan used the word reward, in his opinion, this was the reward given by the City Lord's Mansion to himself, not a charity to Huaxia Ling.

"How much can the City Lord's Mansion give?" Alan asked.

The housekeeper of York stretched out two fingers: "Twenty thousand gold coins." ”

Alan looked directly at the housekeeper of York and did not speak.

"Thirty thousand!" said the Yorkist steward, "thirty thousand gold coins, no more." ”

"I remember that when I captured Constance Town, I found 30,000 gold coins in the vault of Constance Town, but unfortunately, it was a drop in the bucket!"

Alan muttered to himself.

"Fifty thousand, how about fifty thousand?" the Yorkie butler raised the price again.

In the end, after some verbal sparring, the Yorkie steward finally agreed to pay Huaxia Ling a reward of 80,000 gold coins in exchange for Huaxia Ling's full force to attack the Blue Shirts!

The 80,000 gold coins, the Yorkie housekeeper promised to send them to Huaxia within three days.

After sending off the housekeeper of York, Alan smiled, a housekeeper of the City Lord's Mansion can be the master of 80,000 gold coins, it seems that the City Lord's Mansion is far richer than he imagined!

With these 80,000 gold coins, I can buy a large number of soldiers again!

However, the current requirements for troops in the territory are not very strong, and Alan decided to keep the 80,000 gold coins first, and if it is necessary to buy soldiers in the future, he will use them to buy soldiers. If you don't need to buy soldiers, you can directly save up 100,000 gold coins to open the second secondary element.

Since he promised the City Lord's Mansion to send troops, Alan naturally would not be untrustworthy, and immediately sent someone to inform Galen and others, who were leading the army, so that they could start gathering troops in Kribi Town and be ready to cooperate with the City Lord's Mansion at any time.

After the housekeeper of York left, Alan did not return to the construction site, but picked up the code that Arthur had given him and read it carefully.

Reading and reading, Allen's brow furrowed. This code is written in great detail, involving almost all aspects of the territory, which shows that it does condense a lot of Arthur's efforts.

But there is one point in the code that Allen completely cannot agree with.

Alan closed the Codex and rubbed his forehead, it seemed that he would have to discuss it with Arthur when he returned.

Three days later, the City Lord's Mansion sent someone to deliver 80,000 gold coins to Allen, and at the same time brought a message that on the 23rd of this month, the major forces, including the City Lord's Mansion, sent troops at the same time to attack the Blue Shirt Army!

Today is already the eighteenth, and there are only five days left for the major forces to prepare for the war, which shows how urgent the mood of the City Lord's Mansion is to eliminate the Blue Shirts.

It is enough to see that the City Lord's Mansion has really reached the point where it can't bear the Blue Shirt Army!

Allen replied to the City Lord's Mansion and promised to send troops on time!

After the emissary of the City Lord's Mansion left, the guards reported that Arthur had returned to Huaxia Town with his teacher Abner.

Alan is still more curious about Arthur's teacher, Abner. He wanted to see what kind of talent could teach Arthur so well and make Arthur so respected.

Alan could see that Arthur's respect for his teacher was absolutely heartfelt, from the bottom of his heart, and there was nothing false about it.

In the Lord's Mansion, Alan meets Arthur's teacher, Abner.

In Allen's eyes, Abner is an old man who is not amazing, does not have the eye-catching temperament of Arthur, and looks like an ordinary old farmer.

It's just that compared with the ordinary old farmer, Abner has more indifference to honor and disgrace.

"Abner, I've seen my lord. Abner bowed slightly at Alan.

Alan laughed: "Mr. Abner, it's been a hard journey. Arthur, help Mr. Abner to sit down. ”

Abner waved his hand to stop Arthur, who was about to support him: "I'll just come by myself, I'm not so fragile old man, and I need someone to help me when I sit down." ”

The three of them sat down, and Alan and Abner chatted for a few words, and then began to invite each other.

"Mr. Abner, you can teach such an excellent student as Arthur, you must also be a great talent, I wonder if you are willing to take up a position in our Huaxia Territory?"

Alan Dao, the top talents of Huaxia Ling are too rare now, although I don't know what Abner's ability is, but just because he is Arthur's teacher, it will not be too bad.

Abner shook his head: "Thank you, Lord for your kindness, but old man, I'm old and don't have the energy to take care of these chores." ”

"That's a shame. Alan was full of regret, but he didn't persuade much.

Alan knows that the more talented people are, the more assertive they are, and once they refuse for the first time, there will be no other results if they continue to persuade them.

However, Alan did not give up, as long as Abner lived in Huaxia Town, there would be a chance to convince him in the future.

After a few more conversations, Abner got up and took his leave, citing the fatigue of the journey.

"Arthur, I have prepared a residence for you and Mr. Abner, you take Mr. Abner to settle down, and then come to the lord's mansion to meet me. Alan said.

A little over an hour later, Arthur returned to the Lord's House.

"All settled?" Alan asked.

"Settle in. Arthur replied.

He took his teacher Abner to the house that Alan had arranged for them, and found that Alan had already prepared everything that needed to be prepared in the house, and even sent a maid and a manservant to take care of their daily life, which made Arthur's heart full of gratitude to Alan.

"Very well," said Allen, "I have read your codex, and there is a problem in it, which I must point out." ”

"Please correct the lord. Arthur said.

Alan took out the code Arthur gave him, turned a few pages and said, "The biggest problem is that the sentence is too heavy!"

"Like this one," Alan said, pointing to a passage in the Codex, "Thieves, cut off their hands and drive them out of their territory!"

"Isn't this punishment too severe?"

Allen pointed out that this is only one of them, in Arthur's code, there is almost zero tolerance for offenders, and the punishment for almost every crime is extremely severe.

"My lord," Arthur said solemnly, "Arthur believes that if the law is to be strictly followed, it must be restricted, and the heavier the punishment, the heavier the status of the law in people's hearts. If the punishment is slight, the law becomes worthless and dispensable in the eyes of the people. ”

"Just like the laws of the kingdom now, unless the laws touch the interests of the nobility, how many people will really obey the other laws?"

The reason for this result is that in the law of the kingdom, only crimes that touch the interests of the nobility are punished severely, and the punishment for other crimes is innocuous and innocuous so that no one will obey them. ”

Alan shook his head and asked, "Arthur, what do you think is the purpose of punishment?"
