Chapter 722 Reunion (Part 2)

"Haha! Follow me, follow me!"

"Hmph! Look at my snowball!"

"Ah! How dare you hit me. Come on, everyone!"

"Hit, hit!"

The sound of children playing snowball fights frequently reached the ears of adults this morning when the snow stopped.

The adults have given enough tolerance to these children's joyful games.

There were even occasional couples of young couples who joined the team playing in the snow, and the older people watched with smiles.

On the streets of Tetashaw, this joyful atmosphere can almost melt the snow.

"Drive!" A few carriages, under the protection of many guards, came from the aristocratic area of ​​Yuanfan City towards the direction outside the city.

"There are too many people ahead, so slow down. Don't disturb the citizens. It's a rare New Year's atmosphere. Don't cause trouble to spoil it." Romon poked his head out of the carriage, glanced at the front, and then told the left and right.

obviously. This joyful voice in the snow also caught his attention.

"Yes, my lord!" All the knights in Deling reined in their horses and slowed down their progress, and the drivers of several carriages also did the same.

"Give way!" The knight who cleared the way in front shouted.

"Ah! A carriage is coming, let's give way first!"

"Come on, a carriage is coming!"

Seeing the carriage approaching, the people playing in the snow on the side of the road stepped aside. Although they were not standing in the middle of the road just now, but the snow is so slippery, if they are not careful, who knows what will happen?

Seeing the people on the road branching out into a wide road, the group of carriages and horses passed slowly.

"The ones who passed by just now seem to be the lord's guards!" Someone had sharp eyes and recognized it all at once.

"I think so too. There are so many guards protecting her. If it's not the lord, who else can have such a grandeur?" An old lady responded.

Not to mention how the townspeople were discussing the group of people who passed by just now, but only Romon, who was sitting in the carriage at this time,

Although his face was very calm, his heart was not calm at all.

"Romon, I heard from Cassirer that you plan to take them around the territory?" Farfell, who was sitting in the same carriage as Romon, held back for a while, and finally couldn't hold back, and said .

Luo Meng glanced at him: "I won't go, they will go by themselves. What, what do you think?"

"The first batch of students from the Giant Eagle Academy went out. As the Viscount's best friend, how could I not follow to protect everyone?" Farfell said with a smile.

"Come on, your responsibility is very heavy. Yuanfan Port is becoming more and more prosperous now. Last month, hundreds of people settled in this city. The situation is getting more and more mixed. Do you still have time to travel?" Romon couldn't help but roll his eyes. , Said: "You should be the commander of your city guard honestly. When you are free, help Nick handle some daily affairs."

"Well, I knew that every time I go out, I won't be there." Farfell shrugged and said.

In fact, he also knew that as the head of Yuanfan Port City Guard, he had a heavy responsibility.

Romon jokingly said, "Why don't you go out and relax, and I will temporarily replace your work?"

"Don't!" Hearing this. Faffer waved his hands quickly, shaking his head: "You should spare me, if that's the case, everyone will besiege me when I come back, and Nick will be the first to let me go."

"Haha, do you still remember what happened last time?" Romon couldn't help laughing: "I'd say Phil, you are too stingy, aren't you? You still remember a small thing last time so clearly!"

Farfell said a little angrily: "How could I forget? I only went out for half a month last time, and Nick and the others talked about it for two months when I came back."

Luo Meng approached him maliciously: "Huh? I heard you say something different. Didn't you say before that you have to admit your mistakes sincerely, why are you complaining now?"

Pfeiffer snorted.

Romon leaned back on the chair and said slowly, "I know it's not easy for you, this time I decided to make it up to you!"

"Compensate me?" Farfell's heart moved, but on the surface, he still pretended not to care, and asked, "Tell me?"

"I have already received the news that this time, Prince Shakat and Prince Xiushenya returned with great victories. Not only did they receive rewards from those kings, but they also got many ships and weapons from the elves. I have a share of these spoils , into the warehouse, I'll pick a few for you!"

"What you said is true?" Hearing what Romon said, a smile appeared on Farfell's face.

Luo Meng said lightly: "When have I lied to you?"

After looking at Farfell, Romon said again: "After the New Year, you can send all your sons here. It's agreed. Come to me, not to enjoy yourself, but to be a servant."

In this world, the best tradition is that nobles pay more attention to the training of boys.

Generally, when the children of nobles reach the age of seven, they are sent to the castle or residence of the superior lord. This is not an enjoyment, but to be a servant boy and live with his wife and children.

Although he is young, he will not have any heavy work, but it is necessary to serve the master.

Of course, from the age of seven to fourteen, the superior lord will also teach many things, such as knowledge, etiquette, playing, playing chess, and swordsmanship.

At the age of fourteen, determine your occupation. If you are a knight, you will continue to learn fencing, spears, sticks, bows and arrows, shields, and riding at the superior lord's house. You will be familiar with how to manipulate weapons on the back of a fast-running horse, attack the enemy, and participate in hunting.

The life, work and training of noble boys are very hard, but Farfell said with a smile: "Of course. If it weren't for this, our nobles would have decayed long ago. By the way, your son, in another year, you will also die." Are you going to send it out? Which one are you going to send it to?"

"Based on your current situation, it seems that only His Royal Highness, a few Marquises, and a Grand Duke can accept it, or is it simply His Majesty?"

"My son is not going to be sent out." Romon said calmly.

"Your Excellency, you are too spoiled!" Farfell said: "It is easy to be corrupted and unable to take responsibility."

Because of his friendship, he speaks very directly. For thousands of years, it is precisely this kind of system that has enabled generations of nobles to master power. , is really not common.

"It's not doting. I'm different from other people. I'm a first-generation nobleman. I don't have many sons, and I have many enemies. What if an accident happens?"

"I can guarantee that if you let him go out, maybe an accident will be reported to me in a short time." Romon said: "This tradition must be maintained, but the first generation can't."

This tradition not only makes nobles become talented, but also a kind of connection.

It is an important means for many great nobles and kings to increase their power and expand their influence by enlisting the children of nobles from various places to serve as their subordinates. Some of them even set up schools to attract young nobles to come to study and receive training.

Some kings also specially ordered the nobles to send their sons to his court for training and training, so as to prepare for the selection of outstanding knights in the future.

Of course, it is not a small expense to bear the living expenses of many followers, but for this, it doesn't matter.

"The first generation!" Farfer couldn't help but think about it, and it was true: "Then you just have a few more."

"Having a few more children is not a reason to send our son to die. Our family is only one generation old, and our foundation is too shallow. It is easy for accidents to happen." Romon didn't say anything.

In fact, the more powerful the professional. The more difficult it is to have a child, Bell and Alini have been together with him for a year, and there is no sign of pregnancy again.

There were no precautions, in fact, both Alini and Bell wanted another one.

At this time, the carriage stopped suddenly, and Romon poked his head out to take a look, and said to Farfell: "The pier has arrived, get out of the car, we will talk about this matter later."

At the same time as the two got off the carriage, some officials also got off the carriage behind them, and they all gathered towards Romon.

"Go to the pier." After Romon finished speaking, he took the lead and walked towards the pier under the protection of a large group of guards.

At this moment, in the Mage Tower, there was a beautiful light shining brightly. Romon raised his head and glanced, and then locked his eyes on the other side of the sea.

At that end, a large number of ships began to appear.

"It's coming! It's coming!" The crowd at the pier whispered excitedly.

"Finally back." Luo Meng stood among the crowd with a smile on his face, watching the big ship approach the shore, then took a deep breath and said to himself.

He is very concerned about the 60% of the navy that he sent out, and he is really very happy when he knows that they have gained a lot of spoils of war without any losses.

For his navy team, he treats it as a direct descendant, and he cares a lot more. Now that the navy has returned, he is naturally very pleased.

Soon, people came down from the battleship one after another. First, Prince Xiu Senya's Fourth Fleet, they got off the ship and caused a small commotion.

Seeing that these people began to show a fierce aura, the long-distance war was indeed a good exercise for them.

"Viscount Tetashaw, long time no see." Prince Xiu Senya was dressed in a military uniform, which made him even more heroic. When he got off the boat, he saw Romon standing on the pier. He walked a few steps, with a charming smile on his face. Romon gave a hug.

"Your Highness, I haven't seen you for a long time. You look more and more heroic. Are you an eighth-level knight now?" Romon also said with a smile on his face.

Prince Xiu Senya's smile froze slightly, and he said rather depressedly: "I said, Romon, can you stop talking about this topic? Alas, I thought that I was very happy to go out for a trip and upgrade, but compared with you Immediately nothing, I really want to doubt, if you are a mage, next time we meet, maybe you will be a legend and talk to me!"

"Prince Xiusenya, you are a commander, and you have already surprised me by reaching level eight, especially your record, which really surprised me!" Romon said with a smile, which is the truth.

It seems that the prince really has the talent for command and the quality of a famous general. In the half-year war, the losses were very small and the victories were many. He was indeed cunning and cunning.

At this time, a person stepped off from another battleship. When Romon saw it, the smile on his face became wider. He apologized to Prince Xiu Senya first, and then he walked over.

"Shakat, I already know everything about you, it really boosts the prestige of the captain of the Fifth Fleet!" Romon praised Shakat.

"My lord, you're flattering me." Shakat said hastily and modestly.

"It's not too much. This time you have made meritorious deeds. I will count them when I go back. It seems that there are many lords in our territory, haha."

After that, Shakat went to organize the soldiers to disembark, and Romon walked back to Prince Xiu Xenya.

"You are really nice to your subordinates!" Prince Xiu Senya said.

Luo Meng smiled, and immediately asked: "Your Highness, I just heard some reports about the last few battles. You have to tell me about the situation."

"These few battles have been fierce, but they are worth it!" Prince Xiu Senya was in high spirits when he mentioned this battle, "Let's talk while walking!"

This said, it has been said for a long time.

Prince Xiu Senya left in the evening. During the day, he first talked and drank with Romon. Immediately afterwards, the two giants rewarded the soldiers who went out this time, and at the same time, paid compensation to the soldiers who died.

Divide the spoils again.

And Romon said that he will prepare 100,000 gold coins in the near future. Since the last time he received the news, it has already released rumors.

The prince expressed his satisfaction.

After seeing off Prince Xiusenya and his party, Romon had just sat down and was about to take a rest when Nick came to him again.

Nick, who was so busy today that he didn't even see anyone, said to Romon as soon as he came in, "Romon, I heard that Shakat and the others are back?"

"Yeah, a big victory..."

"I'd like to see it, but I'm so busy today." Nick sat opposite Romon, exhaled, and then said, "I'm only concerned with receiving the business association envoys today, guess what? They These people saw that you became an archdruid, and as soon as you let the news out, a large number of people offered to solve your problems!"

As he said that, he put a thick stack of documents in front of Romon. Nick rubbed his brows and said, "These are their applications, some of them said that they would provide low-interest loans, and there are quite a few mid-level people with assets. Merchants also offered to move to the city.”

"I think they should all be sincere. However, I can't make decisions on these matters alone. No, I have taken them all over. My lord, you make the decision!"

"Nick, how many registered citizens are there in our city now?"

"There are already 6,500 people. Since you announced the establishment of the city last time, the number of people has increased by 1,500. This is the result of your strict restrictions on citizenship."

"Citizen qualifications still need to be limited. We only need professionals, knowledgeable people, craftsmen, and wealthy people. As for general labor, it is naturally the welfare of the people in the territory. How can we give this job opportunity to others?"

"But like this, it will take some time to reach 10,000."

"It's 6,500, how much time will it take to reach 10,000?" Romon knew that the standard for being an earl is to have a city with a population of 10,000 citizens.

But there's really no need to rush this matter.
