Chapter 385: Aaron's News
Leaving the smelter, Wang Yong takes Jesse with the fart worm to the garment factory that Connie is in charge of, which is a temporary warehouse converted into a warehouse. According to Wang Yong's plan, the garment factory will be relocated to Seaside City in the future, where it will build a new factory and expand production, so Connie and her sisters can only settle for now.
There were not many workers in the garment factories now, about two hundred, most of whom were making leather armor, and only a small number were busy weaving burlap in front of a few worn-out looms.
Wang Yong found Connie, and through Connie's introduction, Wang Yong learned that they are now divided into three shifts, constantly sewing leather armor all day long, and can make about 600 sets of finished products every day.
Wang Yong is still very satisfied with this number, because Connie does not have many people here, and it is already very good to be able to make six hundred sets of leather armor per day.
When Wang Yong asked Connie if she could increase manpower to expand production, Connie replied with a look of embarrassment: "In terms of manpower, it is very easy to recruit, there are many women with good skills who are idle at home, and they can take up their posts after simple training, but what we lack is not manpower, but leather." At the current rate, the stock of leather can last for more than ten days at most. ”
Wang Yong was puzzled and asked, "Didn't I send people to buy leather and cloth?
Connie sighed, "The purchasers have already gone back and forth twice, and the cloth has been bought a lot, but the leather is too little." There is a great demand for leather in various places, and although there are many merchants who sell leather, they do not have much inventory in their hands, so it is difficult for us to buy a large number of them. And the current season is not the season for high production of leather, and the hunters sell their hunted furs at the beginning of spring and the beginning of winter. ”
In Wang Yong's previous village, most of the people lived by hunting, and Wang Yong knew this, and planned to go to Daisy later and ask her if there was any good way.
On the way to Daisy, a soldier reported. The city lord of Aaron, who was in Siacheng, sent someone in a hurry.
Wang Yong was stunned for a moment, and then said to Jesse behind him: "You go to Daisy, ask her to find a way to buy the supplies we urgently need, and tell her that the sooner the better, and spend more gold coins." After Jesse left, Wang Yong followed the soldiers who led the way to the front of the council hall.
The soldier was about to introduce Wang Yong to the person sent by Aaron, so Wang Yong waved his hand and said, "You are busy, I know this person." ”
After the soldiers left, Wang Yong looked at the tattered clothes in front of him and said with a dirty face: "It's been a long time." Alva. How is your father, Lord Aaron, now?"
Alva lost his original smug and flamboyance, looked at Wang Yong with a complicated expression and said, "Count Ivan, can we find a quiet place, I have urgent matters to ask you for help, and there are some important news for you." ”
Wang Yong saw Alva's eagerness, and Wang Yong, who originally wanted to tease him, also knew that he or Aaron must have something urgent, so he nodded and said to Alva, "Follow me." With that, Wang Yong turned and walked to his quarters, followed by Alva.
On the road. Neither of them spoke, and in the silence, Wang Yong heard a sound of 'grunt, grunt', and the corners of Wang Yong's mouth curled slightly. Reverse direction.
After a while, Wang Yong took Alva to the nearest canteen, because it hadn't yet arrived, so the huge canteen was empty. Found a remote corner. Wang Yong instructed the cook to get some food, and then beckoned Alva to sit down.
Wang Yong poured Alva a cup of cold boiling, and then asked, "What happened?"
Alva took a few sips of the water in his dry glass. Seeing that there was no one around, he wiped his mouth and said: "That's the case, ten days ago, more than a dozen people came to the imperial capital to look for my father, and then I found that there was something wrong with my father, and there were four strangers who followed my father all day. I went to look for my father several times, but I was also stopped by those people, and I quarreled with them at that time, and when I was about to teach them a lesson, my father stopped me. My father didn't favor me as before, but scolded me in a rage, and finally beat me half to death with his fighting spirit, and then threw me out of the city lord's mansion, and said that he would cut off the father-son relationship with me. At this, Alva lowered his head and said no more, for the cook came with the food.
After putting down the two bowls of noodle soup and two small plates of pickles, the cook turned around and left very interestingly, and did not talk to Wang Yong, the lord, as before.
Glancing at Alva's wriggling Adam's apple, Wang Yong smiled slightly, pushed the two bowls of noodle soup in front of him and said, "I'm hungry, I'll talk about it when I'm full." Alva glanced at Wang Yong gratefully, then picked up the big bowl and devoured the noodle soup that he had never looked at before.
After a while, two large bowls of noodle soup and two plates of pickled vegetables were swept away by Alva, and Wang Yong smiled and asked, "How is it? ”
Alva shook his head and said, "You used it, I'm full." ”
Wang Yong nodded and said, "You go on, what happened later?"
Alva continued: "After I threw myself out of the City Lord's Mansion, I was very angry at the time, this was the first time my father had beaten me, and he didn't ask whether it was right or wrong. I was so angry that I decided to leave and never go back to this home. However, it was too late, and the city gates were closed, so I had to find an inn to stay in. When I was washing, I found that I didn't know when there was an extra ring in my arms, and this ring was always carried by my father, saying that he would give it to me when I became sensible. By the way, I heard my father say that the ring was given to him by you, Count Ivan. As he spoke, Alva raised his right hand and gave Wang Yong a glance at the ring on his hand.
Wang Yong smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Yes." ”
Alva continued: "My father taught me how to use the Spiritual Void Ring before, but I didn't think much about it at the time, thinking that I didn't have any money on my body, and my father's Spiritual Void Ring must have a lot of it, and I also wanted to see how much money my father had. So I took out the contents of the Spiritual Void Ring, and after counting the gold coins and gold cards, I found two letters, one for me and the other for you, Lord Ivan. With that, Alva took out a letter from the Spirit Void Ring and handed it to Wang Yong.
Wang Yong took the letter, and when he saw that the wax seal on it was intact, he put it into his Naxu ring, and did not immediately read the contents, but continued to listen to Alva's story.
Alva was slightly stunned, and then continued: "On this letter to me, my father told me that he was under house arrest by the people sent by the emperor, and that his life would be in danger after a while, so I had to find a way out of the city anyway and come to the seaside province to ask you for help." Father also said that this matter is very involved, and Count Ivan is also in danger, and there is a detailed explanation in the letter from your father to you. ”
Wang Yong frowned and asked, "How did you escape, it's impossible for those people in the imperial capital of Aaron to cut off relations with you not to see it, right?"
Alva nodded and said, "Yes, they were not fooled, but secretly followed me, wanting to see who I went back to for help." ”
Alvara paused and said, "Early the next morning, when I was about to leave the city, I was stopped by two people and asked me to return to the city lord's mansion with them. I knew that if I went back with them, I would never be able to get out again, and my father and I would die, so I took advantage of their unpreparedness to attack in a crowded place, stabbed one person with a dagger, and hurried out of the south gate. But the other man kept chasing me, and finally I had to stop and solve the problem. This man is a junior warrior, and he is very strong, but he doesn't know that I am also a junior warrior, and I was injured by my carelessness at the beginning, but even then I am no match for him. ”
Hearing this, Wang Yong smiled heartily, because he had seen Alva's strength, although Alva had been promoted to a junior warrior, but he was usually negligent in cultivation, and there was not much left of his fighting spirit, and the experience of fighting was also unsightly, as long as it was a junior profession, anyone could beat him all over the ground.
Alva smiled embarrassedly, and then said: "Later, when he was unprepared, I took out a crossbow from the Spirit Void Ring and killed him at close range, which can be regarded as escaping." ”
Although the fight between the two passed by Alva, it was not difficult for Wang Yong to imagine Alva's powerlessness at that time and the danger of using the crossbow to counterattack.
Alva continued: "After escaping from the city of West Asia, I did not take the main road, but went all the way through the mountains and forests, and came to the coastal province after several journeys. ”
Speaking of this, Alva said with a pleading face: "Lord Ivan, I was wrong before, I was just a scourge who only knows how to have fun. But for the sake of my father's help, save my father, if you promise, you can let me do anything, even if I want my life, I am willing, I owe my father too much. As he said this, Alva was on his knees and couldn't stop crying.
Looking at Alva, who had already cried into tears, Wang Yong felt that he had grown up and become mature, and he was no longer the troublemaker he used to be. Although the right amount of pressure will make people grow, I just don't know how far Alva will grow under such pressure.
Wang Yong helped Alva up and said to him: "I will definitely do my best, don't worry, I will inform you when I have a decision." ”
Without waiting for Alva to say anything, Wang Yong turned his head to Jesse, who was guarding the door, and said, "Arrange a room for him to rest." Jesse nodded, and left with Alva, who had turned back three times.
Wang Yong didn't leave immediately, sat back in his chair, closed his eyes and thought about what Alva had just said. After a long time, after feeling that what Alva said was not undoubted, he took out the letter of the ring Riaron, opened the wax seal and read the contents.
After a long time, Wang Yong slowly put down the letter, and his brows furrowed even tighter. The handwriting on Aaron's letter is very sloppy, and the language is not very coherent, so it should have been written in a hurry. (To be continued......)
