Rise of the Empire Total War

　　 "What do you think of Bandak?"

　　 Holding a wine glass, Richard looked at Burris who asked this in a little surprise, but after a few conversations, the other party threw this question in front of both Lawrence, which seemed a bit taboo in Richard's eyes.

"Hmm..." Confirming that Burris was not testing himself, Richard gently stroked the glass with his right index finger, indicating that he was organizing his own language. After a while, he replied: "Honestly, I told Bandak My uncle doesn't feel much ill, but I feel that he seems to be hostile to me because of the Kuban Island incident."

"We know this." Lawrence interrupted. "In the early days of the war, your Majesty asked him to issue a conscription order to all the nobles in the kingdom. You had just defeated the Moorish pirates not long ago. According to your Majesty, you didn't need to be conscripted, but Bandak had a feudal obligation. The reason is to send you a mobilization order..."

"Since then, we have been aware of it." Burris took the conversation. "We don't think you can meet his request to mobilize 300 soldiers. Unexpectedly, you managed to mobilize more than Three hundred soldiers, Richard, you really surprised us."

　　"..."

　　 Seeing Richard being silent, Lawrence chuckled lightly and said: "You don't have to worry about anything. With me and your Uncle Burris, Bandak can't do anything against you."

　　 Hearing this, Richard raised his head and looked at Lawrence and Burris. He knew that he had thrown an olive branch in the opposite direction.

　　Thinking about it, he chose to accept it willingly. One more ally would make another way. Even if there is a conflict with Bandak in the future, Lawrence, the crown prince, will definitely be able to help.

　　 But then again, now that Kirkling is entrusted to Bandak, he does not need to be obsessed with the Kuban Island being taken away. Richard does not think there will be any conflicts between the two in the future.

　　 "By the way, Richard, do you have any plans when you get back to Kuban?" Austera asked.

　　 "There are no plans yet." Richard replied, "But as you all know, two consecutive wars have left my leaders out of breath, and we may all recuperate in the next year."

　　 "Need help? I'm talking about trade." Austera continued to ask.

　　 "It's necessary, but Uncle Osrita, the merchant ship Paul you gave me last time has no chance to come in handy. Kuban is so poor that there are no goods suitable for trading with the outside world."

　　 "That's it." Austera thought for a while, and then said: "The premise of a city's development and prosperity is handicrafts and commerce, um... you may be able to introduce handicrafts from Port Bell to stimulate commercial development."

As soon as Osrita’s voice fell, Lawrence interrupted and reminded: “If there is a shortage of labor, there are many homeless people in the kingdom. Most of those homeless people are wandering away from home due to wars and other reasons. As long as you are willing to give them food, they I will go to Kuban with you willingly."

Listening to Lawrence’s words, Richard hesitated. Those homeless people wandering in the kingdom can be said to be like an unstable bomb, which may affect the social security of the kingdom at any time. Various reasons are also unwelcome to the homeless people, unless there is a real shortage of people, they will all be driven away.

It is not impossible for Richard to absorb the nomads, but how to arrange them after the absorption is a big problem. It is impossible for the nomads to live in Nuremberg. Those Nuremberg citizens with independent personalities will not agree to it. The arrangement is mandatory. Going in may cause a backlash. If you think about it carefully, there are so many unowned lands on Kuban Island. Perhaps it is a good way to split the nomads and build villages on those lands, and then entrust the villages to those knights to establish a knighthood.

　　 After careful consideration, Richard asked Lawrence: "Uncle Lawrence, I intend to absorb the nomads in the kingdom. Can you arrange it for me?"

　　 "Of course, the number of registered refugees is about 800 to 1,300, and you can send someone to receive it at any time."

"That's great." Richard nodded, then turned his gaze to Austera, and said: "Uncle Austera, I would like to ask you to borrow a few ships that will be needed by the nomads and craftsmen by then. The number of ships on Kuban Island may not be able to bear it."

　　 "Of course there is no problem. If you need it, I can also help you contact some handicraftsmen in Bell Harbor."

　　 "Then it will be troublesome." Richard thanked him, and to express his gratitude, he raised the wine glass in his hand and toasted to the three elders.

　　...

After a dinner party, Richard did not drink much. He walked alone in the garden of Trizi Palace. With the light cast by the bright moonlight, he sat on the bench where he met Douglas for the first time. Thinking back to today's harvest.

From the conversation with Lawrence several people, UU reading www.uukanshu.com Richard can vaguely guess the intentions of the two uncles. The three prince Bandak’s military exploits have threatened Lawrence’s crown prince status, especially Harlows. The king's act of granting Bandak the honorable temporary position of patrolling the city further stimulated the nerves of the two princes.

It seems that Lawrence and Burris are going to join forces to deal with Bandak. Out of caution, they want to win over Richard, who was targeted by Bandak before, and want to see how they also made a contribution in this war. Richard’s attitude.

　　 This situation is almost unsurprising in the opinion of ck player Richard. This is in line with the characteristics of the medieval aristocracy of fathers and sons, filial piety and brotherhood.

　　 However, in Richard’s view, the probability of Bandak’s succession to the throne is still too small. As long as Lawrence and Burris do not die, then according to the order of succession, Bandak’s turn will not be possible. It is worth mentioning that the Kingdom of Ravana adopts the eldest son inheritance system. Under this inheritance system, even if King Haraus dies, Bandak cannot inherit other titles.

　　 None of this has anything to do with Richard at the moment. In his eyes, no matter who inherited the throne, as long as it does not harm his interests-but King Harous seems to be so healthy, there is no need to worry about this problem in the next few years.

When Richard was sitting on the bench with his eyes closed and thinking, he felt that someone was approaching him with a gentle footstep not far away. He did not open his eyes to see who it was. He might just think about it. The servants of the palace passing by.

　　 However, that step actually walked to Richard's body, and then sat on the other side of the bench, bringing a gust of fragrance.

"you…"

　　 Richard opened his eyes and looked at the visitor. He got stuck in his throat halfway through the question. He stared at the visitor blankly, and couldn't speak.
