Chapter 6: Augustine's Reaction
At noon the next day, after the big and small nobles in the city got up, they simply hated Mo Xuan, if there were not many people digging it, it would be okay, but half of the craftsmen in the entire city were poached, as for the peasants, although the proportion was not so large, they couldn't stand the large number of people, and there were also the small nobles in charge of various estates outside the city who kept crying in front of them, which made them even more upset.
"You can't just leave it at that. "The nobles of the entire city gathered and demanded an explanation from the lord of the city. What explanation can the city lord give, and the person was not abducted by him, can he still change back? The city lord was so annoyed that he gritted his teeth: "Don't make trouble, I'll write a letter to Your Majesty to tell him, if any of you are interested, sign it on it, and we will jointly sue him." ”
Suddenly, the hall that was still noisy quieted down, after all, it was a celebrity in front of His Majesty, and he was still a little hesitant in his heart.
"What are you afraid of? You've all come to me to make trouble, what else do you have to be afraid of. The city lord stood up and pointed at the nose of the nobles below and yelled, to say that the biggest loss was still him, the city lord, who was close to one-tenth of the population of the entire city, that is, one-tenth of the rights were poached, could he not be very?
", I signed it. A little nobleman gritted his teeth and stood up to the city lord, who he firmly believed would remember him. Sure enough, when he looked up, the city lord's gloomy face showed him an approving smile.
There was a second, and the rest of the nobles stepped forward.
Within a few moments, a letter filled with the names of various nobles was packed into an envelope and sent to the imperial capital by an emergency teleportation station.
"Lord Viscount, are we doing too hard?" Although he patted his chest yesterday and said that it was no problem, but looking at the large number of women and children sitting in the carriage and the men following the carriage behind him, Atwood's heart was weak for a while, and now the nobles of Sapphira have hated them to death!
"Nothing, you didn't do it hard enough, but this limit is already good, if it is more powerful, maybe those nobles will send troops to intercept it, and now these will make them uncomfortable for a while, but they will not reach the stage of breaking their muscles and bones. Mo Xuan patted Atwood's shoulder with satisfaction, and the approval in his eyes made Atwood's heart return to his stomach: "Well, divide the five brothers, and then let them bring the city gate soldiers, maintain order with the barbarians, and rush to this place." Mo Xuan pointed to the city gate soldiers in the team who were maintaining order: "What I am most satisfied with is that you have dug them up together." ”
The city gate soldiers are no match for the most regular army in any place, but they are better than the barbarians, and there is no need to worry about maintaining order. But if the city lord of Sapphira knew that his city gate soldiers should not dig up, it is estimated that he would vomit blood!But it must be more than the city lord who hates me, I'm afraid that the president of the Magic Guild is also in the same mood!Mo Xuan sighed in his heart, rubbed his eyebrows, and then looked at the cute face with baby fat that appeared on a carriage in the middle of the convoy.
"That's why, Lord Viscount. Atwood was puzzled.
Mo Xuan stared at Atwood's puzzled face and shook his head: "Don't you think we still have too few people? Mo Xuan looked around the convoy with a satisfied smile, and then pulled Atwood to his side: "Don't you think that only one city's nobles are unlucky, and the other cities will gloat, in order to balance their hearts and for the peace and stability of the country, shouldn't we make a contribution to the kingdom?" Then Mo Xuan patted his ring: "And the king gave us so many gold coins to build a territory, how can we be worthy of the king if we don't work hard to spend the money." ”
"Ahh Atwood looked at Mo Xuan in surprise, this person is too shameless, obviously digging people but he wants to put on a face for the country and the people, but I like it. Thinking that Atwood's face was also with a lewd smile, he nodded heavily.
Next, Sapphira went all the way to the big and small cities of the north, which was considered unlucky, and there was a large loss of personnel, officials, soldiers, artisans, farmers, mercenaries, barbarians, and even magic apprentices were poached, and these were just the loss of personnel. In order to be able to bring these people to the territory as soon as possible, all kinds of vehicles are indispensable, and in order to maintain their living food, it is also essential to camp them in various clothing tents.
It's not enough, even if so much money is spent, Mo Xuan's money has not decreased, why? Because Mo Xuan will hold a feast every time he goes to a place, and all the nobles and nobles of all sizes are invited, and it doesn't matter if these nobles don't give face, but gifts are indispensable, and it's not good for Mo Xuan, the red man in front of the king, to be light. So Mo Xuan sighed along the way, these nobles are good people!
When the people in Atwood next to them heard this, they all slandered in their hearts that they were too shameless. But in a blink of an eye, he seemed to have become Mo Xuan's helper, and then secretly rejoiced in his heart.
Augustine was laughing with a letter that read from the king himself, and the handwriting was that of the lord of Sapphira.
"Your Majesty, what is it that makes you so happy? Queen Julia next to her was amazed at the king's reaction, she hadn't been so happy since Augustine became king.
Augustine laughed out of breath, holding his stomach and handing the letter in his hand to Julia with difficulty: "See for yourself." ”
Then Queen Julia also burst into laughter.
The next day, another letter was delivered to Augustine.
Augustine still laughed, but he couldn't help complaining in his heart that his subordinates were so stupid, and two cities were deceived by the same strategy.
On the third day, another letter was delivered to Augustine.
Although Augustine did not scold the messenger, his face had become a crying and laughing, and his brow began to wrinkle.
On the fourth day, it was still a letter.
Augustine's face was gone, and a sense of foreboding intensified.
Day 5 ・・・・・・.
Day 6 ・・・・・・.
Day 7 ・・・・・・.
Ten days later
"What kind of thing are they, the whole city from south to north, from the lord to the nobles, are they fools? Augustine angrily tore the letter in his hand to shreds.
After a few hard chops on the ground, Augustine sat down in his chair, and he no longer had any illusions about his subordinates: "Here, the previous city on Mo Xuan's route ordered them to guard against Mo Xuan and be careful of being deceived, as for why, don't say why." ”
