On this day, a badge was assigned to Allen's hand. "Appointment novel, this emblem lies quietly in a vermilion lacquer box covered with black velvet cloth. The shield-shaped emblem has an indigo background. On the left is a unicorn standing upright, and on the lower right is It is a palace, and the words "Glory is life" are written on the next ornamental path of the palace. This is the knight's medal of the Balegang Empire. The knight is the lowest noble in this empire, and its medal will vary depending on the level.
Like the baronship that Edward inherited, the unicorn was replaced by a silver flying eagle. Sir Maud, who is also a baron, but has a certain military strength, will have a conspicuous golden feather on the flying eagle, symbolizing the identity of a powerful baron.
Alan took the medallion and looked at the back of his name engraved on it. He smiled slightly and pinned it to his chest. When he came to the outskirts barracks with this knight badge pinned on, the defense captain Matto immediately saluted him straight when he saw him.
"Congratulations, Mr. Allen." Matto stretched out his hand to congratulate.
Allen shook hands with him and said, "Mr. Mato, what happened to you before, I don’t know how it is going?"
"Today's things will be delivered, a total of 30 sets of light armor and standard swords. As for the short-handled warhammers that you let the blacksmith in the city rush to make, because of limited materials, you can only complete 15 at most." Matto Report accurately.
"Aren't there a few iron mines in Suhl City?"
"Yes, but the output is very small. After all, this vein is very barren. Otherwise, the city of Suhl would not develop an industry dominated by cotton spinning." Mato smiled bitterly.
Ellen **** the head and said: "I understand."
At this time, there was the cheering of the soldiers on the camp playground, and Mato smiled slightly: "Since the barbarians you brought...no, thanks to the monks. After they were trained with us, everyone's enthusiasm during training was high. A lot. Hey, those guys who live on the mountain are really strong. The three of us can only beat one of them. I don’t know how you convinced these strong fighters to go down the mountain. I’ve never heard of it before, they would be willing Get out of the Aspen Mountains."
"As long as there is enough goodwill, Mr. Matto. By the way, can there be progress on the conscription?"
Mato** said: "We have recruited about a hundred young people, and if they are trained, they will become qualified soldiers. As for more, Suer City probably doesn't have so many young people who meet the requirements. ."
"It's like recruiting from outside, so can adventurers. As for funding, I will discuss with Sir Edward. After the economic development of Sul City, the defensive force must also keep up, otherwise it will easily attract evil wolves. ." Allen said pointedly.
When we came to the camp playground, the young Bymon named Dima was wrestling with some soldiers in Suer City. When Allen walked over, Roy, who was serving as their young instructor was about to salute, Allen shook his head and motioned him not to say anything. He was standing next to Roy, watching Dima interspersed among the soldiers easily and flexibly, and when he saw the opportunity, he dumped them.
A moment later, Tima fell down all the soldiers, beat her chest vigorously, and then was lifted and thrown forcefully. In mid-air, Dima saw Alan and waved in greeting with a grin. Allen beckoned, Tima fell to the ground and trot over.
"Gather everyone together, and I have something for you." Allen said.
Dima yelled a few words in their native language, and soon the thirty worshippers lined up. They lined up fairly well. It can be seen that Roy's training has not been in vain these days. When they first entered the city, they didn't even know what the lineup was. Mato and several quartermasters transported the equipment to the playground in a carriage, delivered the equipment to the hands of these young people, and instructed them to put on armor.
After Dima put on a light armor, she frowned and said, "Yura, the Bymon don't need to wear these things."
Yura is the name of the Warrior by the Bymen. Allen killed the demon incarnate by Baku and was highly respected by the younger generation of Bymen. At first, Ellen planned to make Tima change his mind, but later saw that he had no plans to change his mind at all, so he also let him go. Now hearing what Dima said, Allen laughed and said: "I know the bravery of the worshippers, but Dima. These things will not hinder you from fighting, and wearing armor does not mean you are cowards. On the contrary, know how to protect. Only one's own people can become more courageous, and to emphasize self and unwilling to make any changes is an expression of arrogance."
"There is such a saying in our hometown that arrogance is a sin."
Dima understands but understands.
Allen said to the other people: "Warriors of the worshipers, you are brave and good at fighting, and you are not afraid of sacrifice. I can foresee that you will level the mountains and conquer the earth. You are the invincible king of the mountains. !"
"From now on, the King of the Mountain will be your serial number, and I hope its name will be known to the entire empire!"
Including Dima, all the young people were full of enthusiasm. They waved their weapons and screamed "King of the Mountain". Allen looked at Roy with satisfaction and said: "This army will be handed over to you in the future."
Roy's gray eyes flashed with a hint of light, and he solemnly **** his head.
In the afternoon, 15 short-handled warhammers rushed to the camp were sent to the camp and assigned to the army of the mountain king. Only the number of warhammers is limited, so Roy only sends them to fighters with good strength like Tima. From today onwards, Roy began to guide these people in the use of the warhammer, and Tema and the others also liked this heavy attacking weapon.
The next day, Sean of the Chamber of Commerce came to Alan early. He brought a piece of woven fabric. Due to the production technology of the Crosis textile machine, the needle hole of this woven fabric is fine. Both the quality and the pattern are not comparable to the previous manual work. Sean took this piece of cloth and said with a smile on his face: "Your Excellency Allen, this is only one of the products produced by the assembly line. The most valuable thing about these new textiles is their uniform quality, unlike our previous manual work. Due to the problem of habit, a batch of fabrics will always have different quality."
Sean said, but sighed again.
"The quality of the product is good, and it will surely be able to sell for a good price. Why does Mr. Sean still look sullen?" Allen asked curiously.
Sean smiled bitterly: "You have just arrived in Suhl, so it is not clear yet. The fabrics we produce every year are eventually sold to the merchants in Violet Harbor, and then sold to the Empire through their hands. Inland. But in this one, it needs to go through another link."
"What link?"
"We can’t sell the fabric directly to Violet Port, because there is a bloodstone wasteland between Suhl City and Violet Port. The thugs are rampant there, and the strength of the Suhl City Chamber of Commerce cannot organize enough guards to transport it. The goods go to Violet Harbor. So we usually sell it to Storm City at a price 30% lower than the market price before they change hands. The difference is so big, let alone..."
"In other words, all our profits are made by Storm City?" Allen whispered: "This neighbor is really a wolf."
Sean **** head: "This is also helpless. If we don't go to Storm City, we won't even be able to make money back."
"Then it will be changed this year." Allen patted him on the shoulder and said, "After Mr. Sean has prepared the first batch of new cloth, I will personally organize a guard to go to Violet Harbor. Among them The difference, you don’t have to make the Storm City cheap."
Sean was overjoyed.
Allen added: "The profit margins for producing new fabrics are actually limited. When we have a certain degree of productivity. I will find ways to introduce design talents and turn fabrics into ready-to-wear garments. That added value will be in the third of pure fabrics. Five times, even ten times more. Mr. Xiao En, work hard and tell other workshop owners that our future is boundless."
Sean was convinced: "You are really a genius in the business world."
Allen shook his head. Turning the fabric into a garment is just the second step. There will be a third and a fourth step in the future. When the fabric produced by Suhl City can form a brand effect and successfully penetrate the aristocratic class of the empire, that is the real success. At that time, Sur City was not afraid that there would be no business to do.
Of course, all of this has to start with opening up the trade route from Suhl City to Violet Port.
"Yawn!"
Made sneezed heavily. On this slightly chilly morning, he quickly put on his clothes, and then squeezed the woman who was still sleeping on the bed before he walked out of the bedroom contentedly. He was in his prime, as the lord of Storm City, able to manage the city and several surrounding towns in an orderly manner, Maude still had a trace of pride.
Especially after the discovery of a silver mine in the past two years, Storm City’s income has greatly increased, and along with it is the strength of the army. This made Maude energetic, but it was a pity that in this remote place, there were really no extra nobles to attack, otherwise he would not waste the 17th-level source power.
Although there is a city of Sul not far from Storm City, the barren place of Sul City cannot be seen by the long-sighted Sir Maude. He didn't want to drag down the overall economic strength of Storm City because of the addition of Sul City. He would rather blackmail the lord of that city as usual. But then again, the turmoil in Sul City this year is really too great, and three lords have been replaced in less than half a year.
Now the new lord named Edward has not said at all that Maude doesn't even know what kind of person it is, only that he is very young. But this was enough for Maude, Maude was even wondering whether to send the army to the city of Suhl for a round, the young man named Edward should come to visit.
Of course, if he doesn't understand this most common communication, Sir Maud doesn't mind giving him a small lesson. Anyway, there are war reparations to be taken afterwards, which will also be a good income.
