7 Sir, I'm not short of money
Dear Miss Margaery Tyrell,
I shouldn't have bothered you with these trivia, but given that you are the sponsor of this pioneering operation, I feel obligated to write to keep you updated on the progress.
After that day of separation, I met with the Knight of Todd Flora and a hundred soldiers of the Tyrells, all of whom were excellent warriors, and please help me convey my gratitude to Lady Olenna! In addition, I have recruited 108 dock laborers, and I believe that they will also be an important help in this development.
After a day's stay in the High Court, where we had prepared food and gear, we set off. Heading south along Rose Avenue for about a month, we arrived near Hive City, where we were ready to rest and recuperate, and then leave Rose Avenue and head south.
However, we ran into some difficulties.
It's hard to say, but it was really my mistake. I really didn't expect the march of more than 200 men to be so consumed, especially the newly recruited soldiers, whom I had promised to eat meat a day...... So, I found myself afraid that I was going to go bankrupt before I even reached the Crimson Mountains......
After several struggles, I decided to confess to you and ask for your help.
Of course, I also know that this request is excessive, so even if you refuse, I will not complain, but I am worried that this development may end without a problem.
Your most loyal knight
Samwell Caesar
In the courtyard full of roses, Margaery was sitting on a hanging chair, swinging, her brown curls swaying in the wind, and her delicate little face was slightly wrinkled by the letter in her hand, which looked particularly pitiful.
"What's wrong? Which knight's letter made our little princess so concerned? ”
The speaker was a young man in a wheelchair, with a beard, a thin face, and a calm temperament.
This person is none other than Willas Tyrrell, the eldest son of the Tyrells and heir to the High Court.
"It's not what you think, brother." Margaery jumped off the swing, handed the letter to Willas, and said with a rosy mouth, "It's Samwell from the Tully family, this guy actually wrote to me asking for money." And it's been so long to get to Hive City, is he traveling all the way? ”
"Samwell? Oh, I remember that kid. Velas looked at the letter with an unconcealable smile on his face, "That pioneer knight who loves goldtail shrimp, huh?" You actually funded him? ”
"It's not to cooperate with grandmother."
Villas frowned slightly: "I didn't ask before, grandmother sent Knight Todd and a hundred soldiers of the family guard to help this kid open up the territory this time, what is the idea?" ”
Margaery shrugged: "Actually, I don't know what Grandmother's specific plan is, only that she should be there to deal with Dorne." ”
"Dorne......" Villas unconsciously lowered his head and looked at his lameness.
Dornland is located in the southernmost part of Westeros, separated from the Bend by the Crimson Mountains.
Legend has it that the Crimson Mountains, originally green, were stained red by the blood of dead soldiers during the years of war between the two countries.
Vilas's leg was broken by Prince Oberon Martell of Dorne during a jousting tournament, which apparently exacerbated the hatred between the Tyrells and Martells.
Seeing that her brother was in a low mood, Margaery hurriedly stepped forward to hold his hand and comforted:
"Don't worry, brother, we will definitely make the Martell family pay!"
Vilas smiled with relief, shook his head, and said:
"Actually, I don't hate him. It's true. He defeated me in a grand tournament, and I certainly have no complaints. I'm afraid you won't believe it, we've been in correspondence, and that Oberon guy told me a good way to cook horse meat the other day, well, by the way, I'm going to inform the kitchen that I can try a new way to make horse meat tonight, haha. ”
Returning the letter to his sister, Vilas added:
"As for the request of this pioneer knight, you decide for yourself whether you want to continue to fund it, and if the money is not enough, tell me directly."
Margaery didn't know if her brother's relief was a disguise, but she didn't continue the topic, and after taking the letterhead, she sighed helplessly:
"Hey, I must continue to fund it, I can't really let him come back so quickly."
"Okay, how much does it cost?"
"Five hundred...... No, three hundred golden dragons. Hmph, this time I'm going to write to that fat man and ask him to save some flowers! ”
——————————
"What a save! Do you think I'm short of money? ”
Facing the arrogant Samwell, Gavin said with a sad face:
"But sir, the purchase funds you gave me before are almost exhausted......"
"So fast?" Samwell was also a little surprised when he heard this, but there was no panic on his face.
Seeing this, Gavin's heart settled down a little, but he still persuaded bitterly:
"Master, in fact, you really don't need to be so good to us, although we promised to eat meat a day, but we only need to have broth to drink, like now, giving us twenty pounds of meat a day, it's too luxurious......"
"If you don't let everyone eat enough meat, how can you have the strength to train?" Samwell said, "As for the money, you don't have to worry, sir, I'm not bad for money!" ”
Gavin was helpless, but he also felt warm in his heart: "Master, you are really the most generous knight I have ever seen!" ”
Samwell, who was generous to others, accepted Gavin's praise without any psychological burden, gave him some golden dragons, and said with a smile:
"Okay, let's go to the market town to buy, remember to see if there are any ingredients that you haven't bought before, no matter how expensive it is, buy me a copy back."
"Yes, sir."
In fact, Samwell's boldness is really not pretending, although his current development funds are indeed running out, he believes that the Tyrells family will not sit idly by and let him return in vain.
After all, a hundred elite soldiers have been sent, will they be reluctant to add some money?
Samwell knew of course that Lady Olenna had plans for him, but using and being used were always mutual.
And before the other party achieves its goal, he is actually the one who takes the initiative.
Sending Gavin away, Samwell came to the camp and ordered:
"Okay, today's military training, start!"
Immediately, he sounded the rallying horn.
In the blink of an eye, the hundred or so newly recruited soldiers rushed out of the tent and came to the open field to line up neatly.
To be honest, Samwell has no idea how to train his troops.
The only relevant experience actually came from military training when I was in college in my previous life.
The original owner was forced by his father to receive a lot of military education, but these memories are not his own after all, although they have been inherited after crossing, but they cannot be perfectly integrated, just like shells scattered on the beach, he needs to take the trouble to collect and sort out.
Therefore, since the decision to open up, Samwell began to sort out the relevant military knowledge in the memory of the original owner, combined with the modern military theory of the scale and claw learned from various film and television dramas and novels, plus his experience in managing dozens of employees in business in his previous life, and then constantly optimized and adjusted in practice, and gradually formed a set of his own training methods.
As for the effect......
Samwell didn't know either, after all, it hadn't been tested in actual combat.
But at least now these recruits can understand the orders, and they can line up, walk, and some basic combat movements can be done neatly, completely without the original scattered and disorderly state, and it looks like something is going on.
In fact, what Samwell didn't know was that the training method he had figured out himself was very frightened by Todd Fohua, who was secretly observing from the sidelines.
In fact, when he first saw Samwell recruiting new soldiers, Todd was ready to see the other party's jokes.
Originally, he thought that if Samwell was allowed to train his troops in a well-known waste in the river bend, it was estimated that before he could reach the pioneer site, the more than 100 recruits would all run out.
However, the truth is completely different from what he thought.
Not only did none of the recruits run, but they became more and more orderly, and after just one month, they already looked decent, and it was said that it was a regular army, and it was estimated that no one would not believe it.
Todd also changed from dismissive at the beginning to a solemn treatment now, and even secretly observed every time Samwell trained a recruit.
That strange training method shocked him and made him feel a little ...... Fear.
Is this still the waste firstborn of the Tully family?
If Earl Landau can't even look down on such a son, how powerful must he really be the heir?
Todd can actually see that Samwell was a little rusty at first, but along the way, he has become more and more proficient and handy, and as time goes by, the temperament and appearance of this group of recruits have really changed dramatically.
Of course, Todd also knew that the group of recruits in front of him was actually just a showman, and his combat effectiveness could not be compared with the regular army at all, but even so, it was Samwell who set up a shelf in just one month, and Todd asked himself that he didn't have this ability.
"It's just by eating meat every day that I'm so energetic."
Todd turned his head and saw his squire Carter talking sourly.
