After being choked by Hadi, the middle-aged lord didn't want to speak anymore.

He didn't even say that he was going to send troops, and he didn't donate money.

Although Mrs. Sissi didn't say anything on the spot, she kept it in her heart.

In the future, this lord will be ostracized by the Jeanne family, and as for which family he wants to throw himself into, Lady Sissi does not care.

Soon, the data was counted.

Lady Sissi held the numbers for a moment, then handed them to Hardy and asked, "What do you think?" ”

She didn't think there was anything wrong with asking Hardy about it, but in the eyes of the other lords, it was very problematic.

At this time, the expressions of the dozen or so lords present were different.

There are dignified, thoughtful, and even more obscenely laughing.

Everyone, with their perception of this action, has subtle differences.

Hardy took the paper, read it for a while, and combined with his experience before being reborn, he shook his head slightly and said: "There are too many militias, not enough elite soldiers, and insufficient logistics resources. ”

The expressions of the lords present changed again.

Hardy handed the paper to the lord next to him and said, "Take a look at it and pass it on." ”

Soon the paper swirled around in everyone's hands, and finally returned to Lady Sissi's hands.

She shook her head helplessly: "I also agree with Hadi that there are too many militias and too little money available for logistics. ”

With that, she put down the paper and looked at the lords around her.

Many of these lords pretended that nothing had happened, and did not look at her.

Only a few were talking to her with them.

At this time, the situation is already very clear, and a large number of people just want to 'rub' their war exploits and rub the spoils afterwards.

The militia sent up, they are not heartbroken after they die, just enough to help their territory and reduce the pressure on the population.

"We don't need too many militias." Mrs. Sissi sighed and said: "We are going to travel long distances to fight in a foreign land, and a small number of militia can be used as logistics troops, but now the number of militia accounts for more than sixty percent, how can we play an advantage on the frontal battlefield?" ”

"Wouldn't it be nice to have a black knight with them?" The lord who had been unhappy with Hardy before laughed and said, "Isn't there a proverb that a sheep led by a lion is better than a lion led by a sheep?" ”

Everyone's eyes fell on Hardy.

Hardy smiled faintly: "A miser who is unwilling to send troops and money is not qualified to speak." ”

Everyone laughed, including Lady Sissi.

"You!" The man slammed the table: "It seems that I am not welcome in this place." ”

He glared at Lady Sissi, trying to put a little pressure on her.

Under this oppression, Lady Sissi was not only not timid, but made a 'please' gesture.

In the past 200 years, Jeanne's family has always given people the feeling of being more 'gentle'.

Many times, secretly the Jana family has been wronged, and it will not be good.

As a result, many people feel that the Jeanne family is easy to bully, and as long as they force them, they will retreat.

But this time, Mrs. Sissi did not retreat, but asked people to leave the venue very strongly.

This says a lot about it.

The lord who stood up suddenly felt very embarrassed, and no one around him echoed him, and even looked at him strangely.

His face turned red with anger, he snorted, turned and left.

After the man left the main hall, Lady Sissi said, "Although we have made the Na family not as strong as our ancestors, not everyone can be bullied. Steward, you go and inform all the chambers and industries in your family, and then break off all business dealings with that lord, understand? ”

The old butler nodded and walked briskly out of the main hall.

If Mrs. Sissi's invitation to leave just now had already made the remaining lords feel wrong, then now that she has begun to use economic suppression, it is even more meaningful.

The Jeanne family is slowly starting to regain their old glory.

At that moment, one of the lords proposed, "Lady Sissi, we can revisit the matter of sending troops. ”

Everyone agreed.

Hearing this, Mrs. Sissi said with satisfaction, "Very well, I also mean that. ”

Then this time, the statistics are much more normal.

Then Mrs. Sissi still showed the statistics to Hardy first.

After watching the meeting, Hardy nodded: "There is no problem, except for more funds, the other proportions are quite normal." ”

Lady Sissi trusted Hardy quite much, and when she heard this, she said, "Then it's settled." The glory of Jeanne's family also has your share. When we triumph from the Empire of Ajca, everyone will get what they want. ”

After hearing this, all the lords applauded in unison.

They have more faith in the credibility of Jeanne's family.

The meeting then ended, and many people wanted to talk to Hardy, but Mrs. Sissi had already started chatting with Hardy by this time.

Those lords had no choice but to give up and wait for the next opportunity.

After the lords left, Lady Sisi smiled and said, "Tomorrow you will accompany me to the royal meeting, and help me sum up the sum of things I encounter." ”

"That's fine." Hardy nodded.

Then he was ready to leave as well.

At this time, Mrs. Sissi said, "In the third room on the third floor, there is someone waiting for you. You should go and meet. ”

Hardy was a little confused, but he still went up to the third floor and knocked on the door of the guest room.

"Come in."

Hardy pushed the door open and entered, and found a woman in a purple magic robe sitting inside reading a book, who else but Lady Pershings.

"Ma'am, did you invite me?" Hardy walked over.

Pei Xingsi put away the book in her hand, she looked up at the young man: "No way, the man in my family is too jealous, so I can only see you in this way." ”

"We are innocent between us, why bother to meet in this way, it's better to meet openly."

Pershings smiled bitterly: "But my man doesn't think so." Although I don't like him very much now, I have to take into account the feelings of my two sons. If he knows that I am meeting you, he will probably make a lot of trouble in the city again. The two sons are expected to be unhappy as well. ”

All right.

Hardy found a chair and sat down, and asked the beautiful sorceress, "Lady Pershings, what do you have to do to see me?" ”

Speaking of this, Pershings was a little embarrassed, she squirmed for a moment before she said, "My research funds have run out, can you invest a little more." ”

"The hundred gold coins I gave last time were used up so quickly?"

Pei Xingsi's face was a little embarrassed: "The magic materials used are quite expensive. ”

Hardy began to frown.

He knows that investing in this matter is a bottomless pit, and sometimes there will be no return for a few years, or even more than ten years.

If it were normal, Hardy would definitely continue to invest more.

But now that Hucaro City is just on the right track, the expenses in the early stage are too large, resulting in the current liquidity of Hucaro City.

He thought for a moment and said, "I can also provide you with a hundred gold coins, take this token myself, and ask an old butler named Jack to ask for it." But for the next year or so, I won't be able to make any more investments, unless you are willing to take my token and go all the way to my hometown in Hexi County to withdraw the money. ”

"You still have money in Riverstream County?"

"Sort of!"

Not a little, it's a lot!

There are a lot of them in the secret room.

But on the ledger on the surface, it is estimated that there are only more than 300 gold coins.

"Thank you." Pershings stood up, her expression strange: "I owe you a great favor. ”

"Don't worry, there will be a chance of repayment." Hardy smiled brightly.

Hardy means that as long as you make a magic potion, I can make a big reward.

But women...... Her mind was always confused, and she suddenly felt that Hardy seemed to have something to say.

But on the surface, it doesn't look like it, which makes her very entangled.

I even began to think about whether to continue to ask Hardy for investment in the future.

"By the way, do you still want to study Nightmare Knight?" Hardy asked suddenly.

"Yes!" Pershings' eyes quickly brightened.

She liked Nightmare Rider the most.
