Farming Road from Baron to Emperor

Chapter 12 Knight Promotion
The summer morning sun shines into the study from the window, and the golden beam passes through the air and shines on the table.Light up the whole room, a bookshelf full of books behind the desk, and two small chairs in front of the desk.

Charles simply stood up, stretched himself, poured himself a glass of wine, and lazily walked to the window, while shaking the glass, while looking at the territory that changed every day, a strong sense of pride emerged in his heart .

Because all kinds of shops have moved to the market, there are serfs in the market every day, free people come and go, come and go, some clever ghosts set up small stalls, sell some small items made at home, and subsidize their families .

Ciel is thinking about making perfume recently. Due to the influence of the luck of the iris town, the iris flowers in the territory are blooming very vigorously, and the fragrance is much stronger than before. It was almost unbearable before, but now it is close. It can smell very clearly, even if you are far away, you can smell a faint fragrance. The whole territory is surrounded by a faint fragrance.

What is needed to make perfume? Distillation seems to be ok, and it seems that it can be mashed and extracted directly. Let’s try the simple one first, and if it doesn’t work, then install a distillation device.

Distillation must be figured out, not to mention that it will be used in wine making in the future, just to say that disinfection is very important in wars. Many people died directly on the battlefield, but more died of injuries. Both are strong.Just when Charles was in a trance.

There was a knock on the door.

"Enter"

A male servant came in, bowed, and said, "Master, is Knight Commander Les visiting?"

What's the matter with him?The White Tulip Knights, or Heath Calla Lily, Charles was a little confused.Charles turned his gaze from the window back into the house, and said, "Please come in."

After hearing the order, the servant turned and walked out of the study.

After a while, the sound of vigorous and powerful footsteps came from outside the door, and with a knock on the door, the muscular Les walked in and bowed.

"Mr. Rice, I don't know what happened?" Charles looked at Rice with some doubts. Unless Charles greeted him personally, Rice rarely visited him in the early morning. As far as he knew, Rice preferred to ride a horse in the early morning Run around the territory.

"Master Shire, five retinue knights have recently broken through and become Earth Knights." Les's face was filled with joy, and the size of the knight order was about to expand.

It seems that luck has exerted its influence, and those retinue knights who usually have accumulated a lot of wealth just took the opportunity to break through.Charles is also a little happy, and also a little bit worried, it should be said that he is happy and worried

The strength of the Knights has increased, which is of course a happy event, but after becoming the Knights of the Earth, although they don't need to designate a village and directly reward them, they must be rewarded with a decent set of armor and spears.

There is also a promotion, you can't let them be retinue knights, believe it or not, they will argue with you, so you have to recruit retinue knights, and expand the size of the knight order, which requires horses, leather armor, and spears.

But strength is the guarantee of safety. Of course, Charles will not make things difficult for him because of this, and said happily: "Who is promoted?"

"Young master, Zamair, Tolu, Barnetta, Herman, and Moore are all heroes who have been on the battlefield more than once. They are only one step away from breaking through. I don't know why. Breakthrough together." Rice said happily.

Charles clapped his hands and called the servant, "Bring the butler Loki."

After a while, Loki hurried over, "Master, is there anything I can do for you?"

"There are still some iron armors and iron guns in the castle."

"Twelve sets of armor, 76 spears." Loki replied respectfully, suddenly he seemed to understand something, and said in surprise: "Is there another knight promoted in the territory?"

With a smile on his face, Rice said with a smile: "Yes, there are more than one person this time, there are as many as five people."

Loki said excitedly: "God bless the Iris family, God bless the Iris family."

"Don't get too excited, Rocky is ready for the next conscription, this time we need 50 people, leave [-] places for our workers, remember to recruit the sons of the workers' leaders, this is what I promised them Request." As for why they didn't recruit a hundred, it wasn't because they didn't have the qualifications or didn't make any contributions, but mainly because there weren't enough horses in reserve.

Loki couldn't hide his excitement and said: "Obey, master. I'll go get ready now"

……

on the school field

Charles was wearing silver armor, boots, and aristocratic military trousers. This kind of trousers was very elastic. Only nobles and earth knights could afford to wear them. The general retinue knights wore the kind of trousers that were wide and wide. Under narrow pants.

Charles stood in front, and the servants behind him followed behind with armor and spears.

In front of Charles, there was a neat formation of knights, and the newly recruited retinue knights, their eyes were fixed on Charles.At the forefront of these people are the five people who have just been promoted to Earth Knights.

Charles walked in front of Zamel, who was on the far left, and he was tall and straight, with a square face and a long cut on his face, as if he was telling the cruelty of the battlefield.

The servant handed Shire the iron armor and spear, and Shire personally handed it over to him. Zamel couldn't hide his excitement on his face, and his appeal for years of fighting was fulfilled. From now on, he also has his own knight.

Then Shire awarded everyone armor and spears in turn. After everything was done, Shire walked to the front again and looked straight ahead.

I saw Zamel, Tolu, Barnetta, Herman, and Moore bowing one after another as if they had been rehearsing long ago, and shouted: "Loyalty is the best virtue of a knight. Praise the great Iris family." At this time The retinue knights in the rear were also infected one after another, shouting loudly: "Praise the Iris family, praise the Iris family!"

The entire school field is filled with passionate shouts, infected fanaticism, pursuit of wealth, and desire for status.People yelled loudly, as if they could also become knights of the earth and accept the lord's personal reward.

……

After the canonization was completed, Charles, who had dinner, sat in front of the desk, and the housekeeper Loki sat opposite, and the two raised their glasses and took a sip.

"Loki, Baron Batty, Baron Danse, and Baron Berg, what did they send?"

Loki took out the ledger:

Baron Batty sent three bolts of sea silk, ten bolts of coarse cloth silk, a noble one-handed sword, and a pair of iron armor.Five tons of wheat.

Baron Danse sent ten catties of refined salt, ten catties of brown sugar, three catties of oil, two pieces of armor, ten tons of wheat, dozens of red candles, three bolts of fine white gauze and silk, ten bolts of sea silk , fifty bolts of coarse cloth and silk, and one thousand gold coins, equivalent to the reserve gold of the fine gold mine.

Baron Berg sent five bolts of sea silk, twenty bolts of coarse cloth silk, some coarse salt, and sugar cubes.

Charles nodded, probably because of his father's death, the Tulip family gave extra heavy gifts this time, especially those living condiments, which were really too expensive, such as refined salt, ten gold coins per catty, coarse salt of poor quality You get one gold coin per catty, and the worst block of salt only costs one silver coin per piece.

A block of salt can be eaten for a long time, but it looks like a rock. Charles has seen it once. I don't know if it is poisonous, but it smells bitter, so he usually eats coarse salt.

Charles said: "Loki, the Knights need to be fully staffed. The most important thing now is to quickly form a caravan and go to Tulip Town to buy [-] war horses and [-] mares."

"Master, isn't the number of these mares a bit too much? Including the mares raised in the castle, more than 120 ponies will be born this year, and even if some die, there will be more than 80 to [-]. Our territory Do you need so many horses?"

"Don't worry, Loki, there will be a big battle next, and the horses will inevitably be worn out."

Loki looked at Shire with some doubts, "Who are you fighting with? I haven't heard that the Earl is going to call up an army to hold a national war."

"The Clivia family, if the son does not avenge his father, what face do I have, and what face does the Iris family have? The Clivia family fights without declaring, pretending to be a robber and sneak attacking. If this revenge is not avenged, I feel like a stick in my throat."

Charles stood up and continued: "Even if the news hasn't spread, anyone with a discerning eye can't tell that the Clivia family attacked the Iris family. I invented lime and built a small town. I didn't hesitate to expose it. Why? Father's revenge is not revenge. , I endured it in despair, I am a son of man, and the face of the Iris family is also gone."

"There must be this battle. After the autumn harvest is over and the knights have expanded their training, I will personally go to the Clivia family." Charles clenched his fists and pounded on the table, venting the feelings that have been in his heart ever since his father was accidentally killed. Anxiety, depression, injustice.

Luo Ji also stood up, with tears in his eyes, and said: "Don't worry, young master, I will immediately form a caravan, go and return quickly, this revenge will not be avenged, and the dignity of the Iris family will be lost."
