Early the next morning, Taishou Mansion.

As the ruling center of the county, the Taishou Mansion covers a wide area, with four built-in gardens and even a standard racecourse.

Through this incident, the new Taishou had a basic understanding of the attitude of the local forces, including the two counts of Sabin and Tius, the vast majority of the nobles expressed their willingness to provide support, and the rest were not unwilling, but really did not have the financial resources to participate.

As for the officials who expressed resolute opposition to the excavation, they were gradually pushed to the margins in the next few years, and those who had nothing to do with the nobles and the emperor were directly dismissed, and in serious cases, they naturally died by accident.

According to the law established in the Zhongxing era, the term of office of the Taishou in the local area should not exceed five years, but in recent decades, the etiquette has tended to collapse, and whether or not it can be transferred depends on the will of the central and Taishou themselves.

The pavilion in the garden, Taishou half lying on the stone seat, his body is tall and fat, he experienced a period of time in the Imperial Power Temple when he was young, and later took refuge in the same temple practice of Earnest, out of deliberate imitation, he also likes to eat raw meat.

Twelve beautiful women dressed in light veils surrounded them, and the flush on the faces of several of them had not yet subsided, and Taishou slapped his hand casually, and the waves surged, causing a burst of exclamations.

Taishou laughed, directly reached out and hugged the beautiful woman into his arms, and then turned his head to look at the three people outside the pavilion.

Poisson, the chief of the guard, Chelsea, the chief maid, and Gard, the general of the county.

"My lord, the guards have all been transferred, and there will be no problems on the day of the banquet."

"Taishou-sama, the wine and food are ready."

"Sir, the temporary school field outside the city has been built, and it is expected to support 50,000 people to be stationed, and many people are freezing to death, if I can, I would like to ask the chief to approve the application for appropriation."

The three of them were forced to listen to the beautiful woman's irrepressible voice gradually raise their heads, and they did not dare to have the slightest look of disgust on their faces.

"It's been a long time since I've heard such stupid words, Gad, you're getting better at telling jokes." Tai Shou ignored it, and looked at Chelsea, "The head maid, you are eighteen years old this year, it is a serious matter to get married quickly, why don't you go to see the good talent I introduced to you last time." ”

"I just want to serve my lordship." Chelsea replied with a smile, the dead pervert in front of her was only interested in beautiful women, so she didn't want to enter the other party's hunting range.

"yes, then I'll give you a ...... later."

Before she finished speaking, the beautiful woman gritted her teeth jealously and accelerated, Taishou sighed a few times, and then her body trembled.

"Forget it, you can do it yourself."

Tai Shou Dun feels boring, Chelsea is very beautiful, orange hair and red eyes, delicate appearance, it is because of this that he became the head maid, but unfortunately he is too young, destined to not have many beautiful women, will cooperate, if it is just a piece of wood, no matter how beautiful it is, it will not satisfy some fun, he does not want to be out of touch with the mainstream of fashion in the imperial capital.

The beautiful woman gave her a defiant look, and Chelsea asked thoughtfully, "Lord Taishou, please allow me to go back and arrange for the maids to bathe with Madame." ”

The beautiful woman's face turned pale in an instant.

"Ma'am?" Taishou's tone turned cold, "Also worthy?" Get out of here! ”

"Yes." Everyone left in a panic.

"Wait, the chief guard will come back and drag her away and confiner her for a few days."

"Yes, sir."

……

"What is the matter?"

Seven days later, on the day of the banquet.

In the earl's study, Jiang Yuan and the head of the Heito Chamber of Commerce sat face to face, the president looked like he had entered his twilight years, but his eyes were still shining.

"I want to customize a few pieces of chain mail, and the project is relatively large."

Jiang Yuan handed over a drawing.

"No matter how complicated the chain mail is, you can't use it...... Oops. The elder was stunned for a moment when he saw the drawings, "Dare to ask your lordship, this is not for people to wear." ”

Jiang Yuan poured himself a cup of black tea, what nonsense, of course the thirty-meter-long chain mail is not for people to wear.

"Let's talk about the price."

"You'll have to make me think about it." It is rare for the old president to fall into contemplation in business, and the use of materials and labor, processing and loss, this is completely unprecedented.

After a while, the elder raised his head and said: "Lord Baron, let's not hide it, we can do it, but I'm afraid we will have to occupy all the craftsmen of the Chamber of Commerce in Berkshire's jurisdiction, this is not a matter of money, and it will delay a lot of other work." ”

"Condition." Jiang Yuan said directly.

The elder choked for a moment, and then replied, "I want a stable supply of new salt from the Tius family, and sell it to the south along the trade routes, where the nobles have always spared no effort to treat the enjoyment, and may be able to sell it at the same price as the spices, and of course, I will also buy it at a high price." ”

"We'll have to ask our head about this." Jiang Yuan shook the bell on the table, the matter of the new salt was followed by Tius, he was not sure if the other party had any strategic goals, and it might cause trouble if he agreed to it, after all, the impact of the shortage of the imperial capital was very serious.

After the bell rang, the manservant pushed the door in, and Jiang Yuan ordered: "Help me inform the head of the family and let him come over." ”

"Understood." The manservant turned and left.

"Wait a minute."

"Your Excellency the Baron is gracious."

The elder nodded slightly, in fact, the baron was already surprised that he could use the master's study as a place of conversation.

After a few minutes, Tius walked into the study, and after learning about the conditions of the Heto Chamber of Commerce, he said: "Yes, but the Tius family needs to use your trade routes, and the new salt will be at the normal price, but you will have to add another thousand young and strong slaves." ”

"I'll do it myself." Jiang Yuan's tone was flat.

"By the way." Tius turned his head and gestured with his eyes, 'Give me face'.

The elder deliberately hesitated for a moment on his face, and then said, "Then thank you two adults for your help." ”

"Qingzhuang will be sent to the military camp outside the city tomorrow, how long will it take for the chain mail to be completed?"

"A month and a half at the earliest."

After completing the deal, the old guild returned to the county under the escort of the guards, and the tens of thousands of troops led by Estes had arrived at the camp outside the city, and these days, there are not a few officers who go out to hunt wantonly, and they don't mind making a cameo as a thief at the right time.

After the elder left, Tius also left, and Will, Lesu, and Wren entered the study, and seven days later, these main subordinates successfully arrived before the time limit arrived.

"Lesu, how many people have you brought." Jiang Yuan asked.

"On the way, two small cottages were breached, and now there are 1,300 people." Le Su replied.

"According to the agreement, the establishment is retained, you still lead 1,300 people as a battalion officer, but all the troops need to be disrupted and reorganized, and the descendants originally led by Will will serve as officers, I know that you should have determined the officer candidates in the battalion and let go of half of the places."

"Yes, sir." Le Su is not dissatisfied, to be honest, this result is much better than expected, at this time, if it is not disrupted, it will be a laissez-faire military leader in the future, even if the baron does not mention it, he will take the initiative to apply, after all, the most basic control must be there.
