- Chapter 532 [Span¡¯s Visit]
Chen Daolin¡¯s words left the two disciples speechless.
Both Shasha and McQueen were surprised by the teacher¡¯s words, and even more surprised by the look in Chen Daolin¡¯s eyes when he said these words!
"It seemed like a long time had passed before Shasha murmured: "But, butteacher, Dean Carmen, why would she, why would she force you like this? You, you are, you are one of our college's own"
"enough!"
McQueen suddenly opened his eyes and scolded Sasha severely.
Although the young necromancer always looks very fearful when facing Sasha, at critical moments, this guy is quite calm and calm.
"The dean naturally has the dean's intentions! The teacher naturally has the teacher's determination! Why are you talking so much!"
When McQueen glared, Sasha was stunned for a moment and subconsciously wanted to refute, but she saw a hint of warning in McQueen's eyes, so she shrank her neck and didn't dare to speak anymore.
McQueen then looked at Chen Daolin: "Teacher, what about welcoming the dean"
"Well, you two can make arrangements. This time, the dean also brought some other teachers and students from the college, and you are responsible for settling them in. Well let them live in our territory. As for Luo Wa city¡¡"
Chen Daolin hesitated for a moment: "Let's not go to Luowa City now. We will wait until we are knighted and officially take over. Well McQueen, you are more cautious. You take people to Mulan City to greet Dean Carmen. She will definitely Those who arrived at Mulan City first. And Shasha, you and Lucius immediately set aside a few yards in our territory, um, right next to the temple, to accommodate the dean and the others."
"Yes, teacher." Shasha rolled her eyes: "But I heard that there is an archbishop of the church"
"Let's also settle down next to the temple." Chen Daolin waved his hand casually.
Settled next to the temple?
Sasha was stunned.
¡°Place the servants of the Goddess of Light to live next to the temple of the Wushuang Martial Saint Sect¡ What would that scene be like?
Let's imagine. Does the Archbishop of the Temple of Light live next to the temple, listen to the believers singing "All Things Are Born" every day, and watch them worship Mr. Guan Er?
¡¡
It will take some days for the visitors from the Imperial Capital to arrive. Soon, Chen Daolin welcomed a guest first.
General Spann, the deputy of Panin, the minister in charge of military affairs in the northwest, and the son of the imperial prime minister Oviedo, came to visit with gifts. As a representative of Panin, Duke of the Rhine, he congratulated Daring Chen on his knighthood.
¡¡
Spann came very quickly. It only took a few days to reach Chen Daolin's territory quickly from Mulan City.
Like everyone who came to Chen Daolin's territory for the first time, Span was very interested in everything here.
Including the new city that has been built to its initial scale, as well as the majestic temple of the Wushuang Martial Saint Sect.
Naturally, it also includes the rows of brick kilns in the wilderness and the large tracts of cornfields upstream of the river.
After visiting a corn processing workshop, he watched with his own eyes the workers using guillotines and hammers to cut the corn stalks into pieces and then grind them into powder The curious General Spahn couldn't help but grab a small handful and stuffed it in Taste it in your mouth.
"It tastes good." Spann's eyes lit up: "Do you have a lot of this kind of food? Can it be eaten as a staple food?"
Accompanying the receptionist was Baron Pierre.
The old baron watched Spann put a handful of corn stalk powder into his mouth, his eyes twitched and he thought for a moment. Still decided to tell the truth: "We have a lot of this thing Well, General Spann, please stop catching this thing. In fact, it is actually"
Seeing that Spann seemed to want to grab a handful and put it into his mouth to taste, Baron Pierre smiled bitterly and said: "This thing is actually feed, used to feed livestock."
"" Spann threw a handful of corn dregs on the ground with a stiff face. He opened his mouth and said, "Feed? Oh my god! You actually use such a good thing as feed?! I think this stuff tastes good, a little sweet."
"If there is not enough food, it is not impossible to use it as an emergencybut we have better options."
Baron Pierre then invited General Spahn to the lounge and treated him to a bowl of polenta and some boiled corn.
Spann gulped down the polenta in three mouthfuls, and his eyes suddenly lit up! Then he chewed off oneAfter 3 meters, he let out a long sigh and rolled his eyes: "Your Excellency, Baron Pierre, have you grown a lot of this kind of food?"
There has been a shortage of food in the northwest, and Nulin Province is currently reorganizing its armaments. Once a war breaks out, food will become an important strategic material Although Panin has the backing of the central empire, the materials can be transported from the inner region by the Lancang River, but even if As such, the cost remains high.
¡°If we could produce food locally I heard that the yield of this kind of corn is extremely high
"The food harvested this year is just enough for us to be self-sufficient. Next year we plan to expand the planting area Of course, land is still an important limitation. After all, as you know, Lord Darling Chen only purchased a small amount of land after he first came here. "
"The situation is different now." Spann laughed: "Lord Darling Chen is about to become a baron, and Luowa City and the land thirty miles north have become his territory I think the problem of land will naturally disappear. "
"Next year we will consider expanding the planting area based on the actual situation. After all, as you know, we are short of manpower. Building a new city requires a lot of labor."
"I'm confused about this." Spann shook his head: "His Majesty has already sealed Luowa City to His Excellency Darling Chen. It is a ready-made and complete small town. Lord Darling Chen no longer needs to build a new city. Alright."
Baron Pierre lowered his head and smiled: "I can't guess what Mr. Darling Chen is thinking."
(Cunning old guy!)
Spann sighed secretly in his heart.
He deliberately mentioned corn, actually just to see if he could purchase some, but this old guy was talking nonsense and refused to say anything practical
As for another specialty of the Darlingchen territory, loess bricks, Spann didn't pay much attention to it.
There are quarries nearby Mulan City, so there is no shortage of building materials.
Although the houses made of loess bricks look very solid.
After visiting for a long time, Spann finally met the biggest target of his trip: Darling Chen.
The meeting place is in the new city not too far from the temple. The house there is Chen Daolin's residence.
Span sat in the living room for about ten minutes before he saw Chen Daolin striding in from outside the courtyard.
Unlike the magician in his impression, this young baronet did not wear a magician's robe. Instead, he wore a military uniform with riding boots on his feet. He looked young and capable.
Chen Daolin had a smile on his face. When he strode in, he took off his gloves and handed everything, including the riding whip, to an attendant beside him.
"General Spann!"
Chen Daolin smiled as he walked: "I'm sorry. I kept you waiting for so long."
Spann immediately stood up and took a few steps forward. He also smiled and said, "Your Excellency, Baron!"
"Hahaha! Don't say that. I haven't gotten the knighthood order yet, and I'm not a baron yet." Chen Daolin waved his hand.
In fact, this is not the first time the two have met.
When he was in the imperial capital, Span had met Chen Daolin but he didn't get to know him.
When Chen Daolin made a bet with conservative traditional magicians in the magic academy, he used a steam engine locomotive to shock all the magicians. The bet attracted many nobles from the imperial capital to watch.
That time, Spann was actually present. But at that time he was just watching the excitement among the crowd. He didn't take the initiative to get acquainted with this popular magic genius.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Not 1 year later, the two met again, but it turned out to be like this).
Span looked at Chen Daolin calmly: This guy has done so many things in the northwest, not only taking over the northwest fortress. Also repelled a tentative invasion by the orcs.
I even heard that he once secretly caused trouble in the imperial capital, and even defeated and killed the great swordsman Kao In other words, he has become a powerful holy man!
Even Shiloh had to bow his proud emperor's head to him. Holding his nose, he acquiesced to Chen Daolin's identity and exempted him from all accusations.
The saint-level strong man is really young!
Spann sighed secretly in his heart.
A sudden thought came to his mind: Such a young Saint How many years has it been since the Roland Empire? Hmm Du Wei, the original Tulip Duke, seems to have become famous all over the world at such a young age
This thought just passed by for a moment. In his own heart he could bear itHe couldn't stop laughing: Are you kidding? Even if this Darling Chen is very powerful, how can he compare with Du Wei
"I'm really sorry for neglecting General Spann. I went to inspect the northwest fortress last night. There are some things that need to be dealt with in the military camp Well, after learning about your visit, I hurried back."
Spann also laughed.
Although you know that what the other party is saying is nonsense hurry back?
Ordinary people may need itbut for a saint-level powerhouse, it is less than thirty miles awayit will be there in a moment!
The two exchanged casual greetings, and even shared a few anecdotes about their time in the imperial capital. During this period, it was natural to exchange a few compliments.
After sitting down and drinking a cup of tea, Chen Daolin looked at Spann: "I wonder if General Spann came here under any military order from the Duke of the Rhine?"
"You are joking." Spann said seriously: "You are not a soldier, so there are no military orders."
"That's not right." Chen Daolin smiled deliberately and said: "The Duke of Rhine is the Minister-General of Military Affairs in the Northwest. He controls the military and civil affairs in the Northwest. Logically speaking, my land is also under his jurisdiction."
"Hahaha" Spann gave a fake smile, and then said: "The reason for coming this time is for nothing else. I just heard that your Excellency is about to be knighted. The Duke of the Rhine specially sent me as his plenipotentiary representative to congratulate you on your knighthood. Grand event."
With that said, Spann picked up a gift list that had been prepared from the table.
"This is the Duke of Rhine's wish. Please do not refuse."
Chen Daolin took it with a smile and took a look at it. After a quick glance, the smile on his face faded.
Thirty barrels of first-class mutton and butter.
One hundred barrels of ale.
Three hundred pieces of cooked cowhide.
Ten sets of silver ritual utensils of various colors.
¡These are pretty normal.
But it¡¯s not right when you see it below!
One hundred sets of light infantry armor, one hundred swords, four hundred spears, and one hundred wooden shields.
One hundred standard bows.
Three thousand arrows.
One thousand kilograms of pig iron
These are all weapons! !
Chen Daolin made a quick calculation in his mind: One hundred sets of infantry light armor, one hundred swords and one hundred shields can arm one hundred sword-wielding shield infantry.
Four hundred spears can be used to arm four hundred spearmenthe cooked cowhide can be made into leather armor.
¡°A hundred more bows are added
One hundred sword and shield soldiers, four hundred spearmen, one hundred archers
There are 600 people in total, including sword and shield soldiers, spearmen, and archers There are two battalions of 600 people. Together, they are exactly a mixed infantry and bow regiment of the local garrison!
According to the military structure of the Roland Empire, the military structure of a regular combat regiment is three battalions per regiment. The local garrison is a second-line army, with two battalions forming a regiment.
"These gifts I'm afraid there's something wrong." Chen Daolin raised his head and looked at Spann with squinted eyes: "These are all ordnance. I have no official position, nor am I the commander-in-chief of the army, nor do I lead troops. It¡¯s not easy for me to accept these weapons. According to the Imperial Code, concealing weapons privately is a serious crime.¡±
Span cursed secretly in his heart: Do you still have few troops in your hands?
But he had to put a smile on his face: "What the Baron said is wrong. You are a noble, and nobles have the right to establish private armies. According to the laws of the empire, a baron can have up to 600 private armies. So. The gifts given by our Lord Duke are neither too much nor too little, so they are not illegal."
"But these gifts, aren't they all materials from the army under the Duke's command? Is it really okay for the Duke to give these military supplies to me?"
(Hypocrisy!) Span cursed secretly in his heart again, and could only say patiently: "These supplies are all old goods accumulated in the warehouse. Although they are a little older, they can still be used, and the Duke is rectifying the military affairs in the northwest. , originally planned to re-equip the army. It would be a pity to throw away these extra equipment Well, if you are worried about what it will have to do with it, you might as well regard it as the army you bought from the Duke. I'll buy some old supplies. Just put in some money and show your kindness, and the higher ups will be able to explain it to you."
Chen Daolin smiled: "In that case, I would like to thank the Duke for his kindness."
"You're welcome." Spann said seriously: "The Duke said that you are now in the north of us, guarding the northwest fortress and resisting the orcs in the north. You have a heavy responsibility on your shoulders.""National affairs are of paramount importance, so even if I really give these things to you, it is still appropriate." I'm just afraid of the troubles in the officialdom and avoid talking about it. If you have any other needs, our Lord Duke is willing to be your strong backing. "
Are you starting to win over now?
Chen Daolin smiled: "If you need it, I really have it."
He looked at Spann with a deliberate smile: "I am in urgent need of ten thousand soldiers now! I wonder if the Duke of the Rhine can help me solve my problem?"
