Heroes of Silver Moon

Chapter 99: : congestion

On the carriage, Simon suddenly thought of something, so he said to the old butler, "There are so many of us, and so much luggage, we can't fit in one carriage!"

"Yes, yes." The old housekeeper nodded, pondered for a while and said, "Then let's rent a few carriages at the gate of the noble district!"

"Can you go to the carriage?" the carriage driver in front asked after hearing the conversation in the carriage.

"Yes, let's go to the carriage shop first." The old housekeeper said to the carriage driver in embarrassment, "I'm sorry to trouble you."

"It's okay, it's pretty close anyway." The coachman turned around again and came to the carriage shop next to the noble district.

"Rent six carriages for half a day," the old housekeeper said to the owner of the carriage shop.

"Okay, six silver coins." Another big business came, and the owner of the carriage shop said with a smile.

"It's so expensive." Simon was a little shocked. The price of goods in the capital was ten times more expensive than other places.

"Master Simon", the old butler saw Simon's shock, so he explained in his ear: "Because the new academy will start tomorrow, and a large number of students and nobles have poured into the capital over the past month. So prices in the royal capital have also risen again and again.”

"So that's how it is." Simon nodded. He also knew a lot about taking advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune in his previous life.

But because the country has been suppressing this situation on Blue Star, Simon never encountered such a situation in his last life.

"Does the royal family not care about this situation?" Simon asked, frowning.

"They don't care. The merchants in the capital earn more, and the taxes are higher. The king wishes for these merchants to make a fortune every day!" The old housekeeper said quietly.

"Six carriages are ready," the resonant voice of the owner of the carriage shop reached the ears of Simon and the old housekeeper.

Simon stopped the conversation with the old butler, opened the car window, took out a gold coin and handed it over.

This is for their convenience, so how can the old housekeeper pay for the rented carriage! So Simon handed over the money directly without discussing with the old housekeeper.

"Okay", the owner of the carriage shop took the gold coin and confirmed that it was real, then counted four silver coins from his pocket and handed them to Simon, and said, "This is the silver coin for you." .

Seeing this, the old housekeeper didn't say anything. Although he was also loyal to Grand Duke Gaseppe, he was very open about matters involving expenses.

This is also a manifestation of the relationship between the vassals and the lord under the enfeoffment system. The vassals can be loyal to the lord for generations, but things like interests still have to be counted separately.

Not to mention the old housekeeper, even if Xi Weier, who has been loyal to the Hawke family for generations, is now by Simon's side, Simon has to pay for it.

"Let these six carriages follow us," the old butler stretched out his head and said to the owner of the carriage shop after Simon took the change.

"Okay, don't worry, our coachmen are all good players, and they will never be lost," the owner of the coach shop boasted.

Back at the mansion, the old butler thanked the borrowed carriage driver and let him take the carriage back.

Pushing open the gate of the mansion, Guy and the others were sitting in the shade of the yard to enjoy the cool.

"Masters, have you packed your luggage?" the old housekeeper asked with concern.

"It's been packed a long time ago." Seeing Simon and the old housekeeper coming back, Guy straightened up and jumped off the chair.

"Well, the carriages are ready, let's go to the academy to sign up," the old butler nodded, and said to Guy and the others.

"Well", Guy and the others didn't say anything more, they dragged their suitcases and walked out.

"I'm going to get my suitcase," Simon said to the old butler, and the old butler signaled that he knew, so Simon walked to his room.

After Simon came out with his suitcase, Guy and the others had boarded their respective carriages, leaving the old housekeeper waiting at the gate of the mansion.

"Master Simon, the carriage at the end is still empty." The old butler took Simon's luggage and carried it to the carriage at the end with Simon.

After Simon boarded the carriage, the old butler smiled and said, "Master Simon, I'm going to the first carriage to guide you."

"Well, I see." Simon nodded, and then the old butler also nodded and closed the door of Simon's carriage.

Guy was in the first carriage. After the old butler knocked on the carriage door, Guy opened the door.

He boarded the carriage lightly, and the old butler said to the coachman, "Go to the newly opened academy outside the city."

"Understood", the coachman raised his whip, and the two horses drove the carriage slowly, and the five coachmen behind him also drove the carriage and followed.

After experiencing heavy traffic jams, two hours later, Simon completely collapsed when he saw the crowds of people around the new college outside the city.

"I'll go to ~www.readwn.com~ What's the situation!" Simon said dumbfounded as he dragged his suitcase and got out of the carriage.

"I remember that there were not many students enrolled in the first class." Guy also walked down with a painful face and asked the old housekeeper.

"That's right, the first batch of military academies and bachelor's academies recruited 40 students each, and the magic academy recruited 10 students, a total of 90 people." The old housekeeper looked at the crowd in front of the academy, and his eyelids twitched.

"You can go." After the six of Simon came down with their suitcases, the old butler asked the coachman to go back first. They only rented the carriage for half a day. If it was past noon, they would have to pay the coachman extra.

"Are they treating this as a rally?" Simon said speechlessly, looking at the small vendors in the crowd.

"Students who can get the first batch of admission qualifications will definitely have a bright future in the future. There are free little nobles in the capital, and they are thinking about whether they can deal with these students in advance, so they all came here today.

As soon as they came, the small traders in the capital sensed the business opportunities, so they followed them, plus some who came to join in the fun, it is not surprising that there are so many people," the old housekeeper analyzed in detail.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way." There was a burst of yelling, and Simon turned his head to find that the city guards had arrived and were maintaining order there.

"Everyone who is irrelevant, get out of the way on the main road, and let the students who are going through the enrollment procedures today pass first," Tulio, the defense chief of the Royal Capital, shouted in his loud voice.

But the crowd was unmoved in the slightest, most of them were nobles, and they were not afraid of Tulio, the captain of the defense as a knight.

"Grass", Tulio also felt a little helpless when he looked at the crowd who hadn't moved at all.
