Chapter Thirty-Nine: Rushing to the Doctor?
"As long as it is your request, there is nothing I cannot agree to. The king smiled kindly.
Sinan Pei couldn't help but pout, he was courteous and courteous, either a traitor or a thief! Although this sentence was not suitable for the king in front of him, Si Nanpei always felt that in front of him, an outsider, he still had a lot of hidden information that he had not revealed.
This is obvious, because the king seems to be too anxious in the matter of making cannons. was so anxious that Sinan Pei felt that this time he saw himself for the sake of the cannon.
A core technical expert, and a foreigner, if you want to use him, you must go through a lot of investigation and investigation, but the king in front of him has decided on such a thing after just one interview, which always makes people feel a little sick and rushed to the doctor.
Theresa's recommendation, however, was not entirely a reason for a king to use a foreigner - it was even the first time he had met a foreigner.
The king did a good job of concealing it, without any unusual expression on his face, but it was clear that his impatience could not be concealed in any way, but both Theresa and Flesois seemed to understand the reason, and did not question the king's decision in this matter.
After thinking about it in his heart, Sinan Pei found that he could only take on this errand: "So, Your Majesty, when can I start work?"
"Anytime, even...... Now I can personally accompany you to see my foundry. When the king saw that Sinampei agreed, the whole person showed a calm temperament again, but his face was still indifferent - it seems that the perennial imperial life has made him accustomed to the life of poker faces.
"Your Majesty, I'm in a hurry. Theresa frowned, "It seems that there is a very important matter, I forgot to tell you." ”
"What's the matter?" asked the king, tilting his head, curiously.
"Not only did Mr. Si and Miss Cara return safely, but they also captured the Marquis of Angus. Flesova took over, he really didn't dare to let Theresa discuss Angus.
The surprise on the king's face could not be concealed no matter what: "Oh, Si, is what he said true?"
"Yes, Your Majesty. Sinampe smiled wryly, "I took him back with Miss Kara - at the risk of losing my virginity. As soon as he mentioned this, Sinampei couldn't help but think of the tragic encounter in Angus's bedroom. I can't bear it if it's a man!
"Oh, that's great!" the king jumped from his throne and paced around the platform with his hands behind his back, "Angus has been captured, and he doesn't have to worry about Philip stabbing that old bastard in the back anymore...... No, you can't be careless, that guy is very bold ......" As he spoke, his voice to himself became quieter and quieter, and gradually, no one else could hear it.
Philippe, is the name of the current Duke of Boulogne, known as "Philip the Bold", has a nickname called Spider, which means that he is like a spider, he will take advantage of an opportunity to expand his territory, and he is very daring to take risks, as long as the benefits are large enough, he will do it with fifty percent certainty - Sinampei has already heard about the character of this duke.
"Where is the little fellow of Angus, Flesois, and I'm going to meet him!" said the king, stopping in his footsteps, cried out to Flesois.
"In the barracks west of the city, Your Majesty. Flesois replied with a bow.
"Take me now!" the king raised his hand and walked out.
Halfway through, as if he remembered something, he turned to Si Nanpei and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Si, please forgive me, but I have to go and see Angus." Your question, I think Theresa will arrange it. ”
"I understand, Your Majesty. Sinampei bent down and saluted.
"Where's the hell he lives!" said Theresa, dissatisfied, "he doesn't have any property in Pali City!"
"Didn't Mr. Si serve as your butler and adviser when you were in Auvergne?" said the king, waving his hand as he walked outside, "I won't care if you put him in your own bedroom!
Sinan Pei was scorched on the outside and tender on the inside. This middle-aged uncle wouldn't really think of himself as a little white face serving Theresa, would he?
Theresa's face darkened, "Hmph, isn't it just a captive of a little psycho, such a fuss!" said him, and grimaced in the direction of the king's departure.
Si," Nan Pei smiled dryly and wiped his cold sweat. Theresa is really no taboo here, he can't figure it out even if he wants to break his head......
"Let's go, I'll arrange a place for you to stay. Theresa pouted, "The whole southeast corner of the palace is my territory, and my servants live there." She took a step forward and personally led the way for Sinampei.
"Hmm. Sinampei nodded, agreed, and followed Theresa.
After a pause, Theresa said, "There are many empty rooms, but there are few servants, and it may be a little deserted, you must not care, the whole palace is like this." The Kingdom's finances are tight, and the items of spending that can be curtailed have been reduced......"
"Is the life of the royal family so miserable?" asked Sinampe, looking at the masonry walls that might have been hung with murals but were now empty.
"It's okay, at least it's much better than the life of a civilian. Theresa shook her head as she spoke, "But it's hard to have to put on a very generous appearance in front of outsiders while cutting back on food and clothing—or else it will make the subjects lose confidence." ”
Speaking of this, Theresa snorted and laughed: "Obviously, the carriage is inlaid with copper, but it still has to be pretended to be gold leaf." ”
"Huh, wait, wait, wait, your highness, your luxurious carriage is inlaid with copper?" Si Nanpei suddenly had a feeling of being tricked.
"You're so sluggish, Division. Theresa covered her mouth and giggled, "I thought I could only deceive civilians who had never seen much gold in their lives, but I didn't expect that even you, a nobleman, would be fooled in." ”
"My hometown is more circulating silver...... "Sinan Pei forced himself to say - in fact, he hadn't even seen much silver. In ancient China, before the Ming Dynasty, copper was not used in circulation.
Speaking of this, Sinampei became strange again: "I think Auvergne's financial situation is very good, and he still makes a lot of money by aiding the king Sancheng!"
"Thirty percent is the limit. Theresa shook her head, "Once Pali can't be saved, Auvergne will be the backbone of the opposition to Caledonia, and the rear must not be messed up." ”
"Though the annual income of the Duchy of Auvergne is a great sum, I must take care of the faces of the other nobles—I can mobilize a large number of troops, but I cannot support the king with so much money without being repaid. Theresa looked at the old castle corridor and looked a little lonely, "Moreover, that is only a drop in the bucket for the entire kingdom now." ”
