Heroes of Silver Moon

"No one here will want to come!" Deborah shook her head and objected.

Simon narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking about a suitable leader.

If Harris wants to control the overall situation, he must not leave his side. He is worried about the ability of the retainers and children of Galken. The only suitable candidates for the army are Alyosha, who studied at the military academy with Harris.

Siegel, who has a violent, reckless and strong personality, would never be willing to station in such a place where no shit, because he is definitely not a person who can endure loneliness and hardship.

Boulder, who has a deep, melancholic and alert personality, would never come to this kind of place to lead the army, because Simon would not let him come, and he was too deep to be a chief officer.

Alyosha, who has a smooth but honest personality, is not suitable to stay away from the crowd and come to this kind of place to station alone, because he is not a person of his own opinion.

Therefore, Simon thought of the last person, and said to Deborah: "How is Graton?"

"Gratton?" Deborah's eyes were a little confused. After thinking for a moment, he shook his head and replied, "This person's talent is not outstanding, and he doesn't have any merits to be praised. He is a very mediocre person. Why did you choose him?"

Simon smiled and said, "Among the four Alyoshas, ​​Siegel is brave and strong, Bulder is quick and alert, and Alyosha is honest and obedient. Graton is indeed the only one who has no merits that can be praised."

After a pause, Simon looked at Deborah with a half-smile, and then said: "But have you ever thought about it, the brave and strong Siegel is too irritable and reckless. The agile and alert Boulder has a too restrained and deep personality.

The honest and obedient Alyosha has no opinions of his own. Only Gratton, although it does not seem to have any advantages, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that he has no disadvantages either! "

Deborah's pupils shrank suddenly, and he asked with a dry throat, "You mean, he's been pretending to be mediocre!"

Simon smiled wryly and spread his hands: "I don't know whether he is really mediocre or just pretending to be mediocre. It is difficult to tell if he is not entrusted with a heavy responsibility, but for now, no matter whether he is pretending or not, now He is the only one who is suitable to be stationed here!"

Deborah nodded in agreement. He was very reluctant to admit that he, who was so smart, didn't see through the cousin he had known since childhood, so let's just treat him as mediocre!

Although a little mediocre, Graton is a person who can endure hardships and can guard against loneliness. It is just right to be stationed here!

After inspecting the three lines of defense on the spot, Simon and the others returned to Shishan again. The west side of the defense circle is a private defense line composed of a group of lords, including the high mountain collar of the Hawke family. Therefore, the defense line on the west side Don't even think about it.

In the same kingdom, it is a taboo to attack other lords without the king's permission. Even the most powerful Cisco and Hood families dare not do so.

Even the last time the Hawke family fought against the Hood family, it was only possible with the king's permission. In fact, the original intention of the two families was just to show off their muscles and have a spat.

But because the old king wanted to swing his sword at the noble council, the conflict between the two families was taken advantage of by the royal family.

Back at the stone mountain near the camp, with the efforts of Twilight and Jovanna, there were more barbarian slaves here, and the stones they mined were also smashed into knuckle-sized gravel and piled together like a hill.

"Next, I will concentrate on building the defensive circle. You may not see me for many days, so I will directly plan for the future." Calling Harris over, Simon said to the two.

Both Deborah and Harris looked at Simon solemnly, without speaking.

Simon didn't care, and asked himself: "Harris, how is the training of the new army?"

Harris nodded expressionlessly, and said: "Not bad, the third batch of recruit training is expected to be completed by the end of November, and we will have a regiment of troops by then!"

Simon nodded: "Well, did you find any difficulties or problems with the new army?"

Harris looked a little hesitant, but after being glanced at by Simon, he immediately said: "Recently, there are some soldiers, most of whom are the first batch of soldiers who have completed recruit training, that is, those who are now the backbone of grassroots officers. Go home to visit your relatives, and send your salary back by the way!"

Simon frowned. Soldiers are always stationed in the barracks. It's normal to miss their loved ones, but it's just a thing. People in this world have a difficult life, and it's normal for soldiers to want to send their salaries back home.

However, the most abnormal thing is that they are a standing army, and they must keep training and preparing for battle at all times. It is impossible to let these officers and soldiers run around without even seeing their shadows.

"What do you two think about this matter?" Simon frowned and asked his two confidants, one civil and one military.

Deborah replied with a cold face: "When we first recruited soldiers, we said that this is a standing army!"

The meaning is obvious, he does not agree with those soldiers to go home to visit relatives.

With a bitter face, Harris said: "These people joined the new army because they took a fancy to the high salaries of the new army, and most of them had a very difficult life at home.

Now the salary is in hand, but on the one hand, there is no place to spend it in the barren mountains, and on the other hand, it cannot be handed over to the family to help them improve their lives. If it takes a long time, the morale of the entire new army may fluctuate! "

Simon nodded thoughtfully, and said slowly, "In this case, let's take a compromise. You let Burd choose some honest and honest people to form a visiting team. Those who want to transfer their salaries to For family members, the salary can be handed over to these people, and then these people will pass it on to their families.

This family visiting team cannot exceed 30 people, and there must be people from every town. There are five days of family visiting time per month, and the members in each family visiting must be replaced, so as to ensure the combat effectiveness of the standing army. It can also solve the problems of the soldiers, what do you think? "

Deborah frowned. He felt that Simon was too tolerant of these soldiers. He wanted to refute but had no reason to object, because the consequences of fluctuating military morale were serious.

Harris nodded approvingly, obviously without any opinion, this solution is very suitable.

"Is there no problem with the new army?" Simon continued to ask Harris.

The new army is the foundation for him to open up the territory, so there must be no problems!

"Not for the time being, the rest are minor problems, and I, the chief officer of the new army, can solve them!" Harris shook his head confidently~www.readwn.com~Good! "Simon looked at Deborah this time, and ordered: "You may be busy next time, first of all, you must supply the new army with armaments and supplies!" "

Deborah nodded: "It should be!"

"Secondly, we must manage these barbarians well, and don't let them starve to death or die from exhaustion. I need them to help me mine stones in a steady stream!" Simon said solemnly.

For such a large project to come, the amount of stone materials needed is absolutely astronomical, so this stone quarry cannot stop for a moment.

Glancing at the barbarians who were working hard, Deborah said with a sullen face, "You let me manage these barbarians?"

Simon Pingbo nodded calmly, and continued: "The third thing is to continue to connect with the Hawke family, collect as much iron ore as there is, and settle the account at the beginning of the next spring."

Deborah's face became even more painful, and she pointed to the blast furnace built by Simon and said, "I don't know how to use that thing!"

Simon gave him a blank look, and said, "Pile the iron ore in the warehouse, and I'll just smelt the iron myself when I come back!"

Without coke, only relying on charcoal can't be used for blast furnace ironmaking. He can use that blast furnace purely by forcing the fire element to increase the flame temperature in the blast furnace.

In other words, this blast furnace can only be used by Simon alone now.

There is also the cement-fired cave, which must also be operated by Simon himself with magic.

There is also the stone crusher driven by a steam engine placed in the mysterious compartment, which still needs to be maintained and overhauled by Simon.

Of these three things, none of them could be replaced by Deborah. In addition, he had to build a city wall and build a territorial defense circle.

Next, Simon is busy!
