Chapter 789: Arrangement (1)
Chapter 789 Arrangement (Part 1)
The time was delayed a little, and when the Knight Kaikuanxi got off the dock, there was only one feeling, that was shock.
The other knights and attendants also opened their eyes wide.
This is a real city, full of vitality, but not cluttered and dirty. Of course, this is their feeling. In their opinion, there is no dirty street water or garbage everywhere, it is considered clean.
From Romon's perspective, this city is still far from some clean and sanitary cities on the earth.
The entire port city was built on a plain under a hill. There were more than a dozen marinas of large and small in the huge port. Even so, the ships entering and leaving were busy.
Countless workers were busy on the dock, loading and unloading goods, the two-wheeled carts kept coming in and out, and there was a busy scenery.
"The warehouses on these docks are temporary warehouses. The real warehouses are behind, and those valuable goods are not placed here." Lu Xiupei said proudly when he saw their expressions.
Wine, silk, blankets, glass, and even swords, these people were a little dazzled.
The Kingdom of Fes has only one sea outlet, and is basically an inland country. Of course, there are few such prosperous commercial cities. Besides, although these knights are all extremely elite knights, to some extent, they are also native buns.
Even the highest-ranking Knight Kaikuanxi was only a local viscount's knight, and he did not see this situation.
At this time, several soldiers and dock officers rushed over, obviously knowing Lu Xiupei. After saying a few words, Lu Xiupei said, "Everyone, don't worry about your salutes. Someone will arrange to go with me to the lord's mansion in the noble area!"
As he said that, several carriages had arrived.
Everyone had no objection and got on the carriage. The carriage quickly started and advanced along the wide road.
Ten minutes later, he turned to a street, and Knight Kaikuanxi turned his attention to the bustling streets.
The street is filled with various shops, with signs everywhere, and many of them are all based on the title of a certain chamber of commerce.
There are no muddy streets and stinky dirty puddles here, with green belts and neat road planning.
Knight Kaikuanxi looked at the pedestrians coming and going, his eyes a little sore.
Now, even if most people walking on the streets are not as bright as being, they are at least dressed cleanly and have a bloody face. Most importantly, their expressions are stable and full of peace.
Knight Kaikuanxi closed his eyes in pain, and countless corpses appeared in front of him, including enemies, comrades, and relatives...
At this moment, someone suddenly shouted: "Yinami, you are lazy again. You didn't listen after saying it a few times. Be careful that I will drive you out."
When Knight Kaikuanxi saw that a middle-aged man was scolding a boy.
The boy was not very afraid. He put down a book in his hand and said with a smile: "Uncle Carney, what's wrong?"
Knight Kaikuanxi didn't care, he continued to look at the city.
A knight who lives with him said, "Sir Kaikuanxi, it looks like this, a very prosperous city! Earl Tetasha is a wealthy lord. It seems that if he can accept us, his salary will be indispensable."
The combat effectiveness of the knight depends on excellent equipment, and these equipment is very expensive. With the development of the economy and the knight system, the price of the knight's equipment has generally increased.
All of this shows that armed knights need a wealthy economy to support.
Generally, lords provide fiefs, but there is also a salary system, but this situation is relatively rare, most of which is temporary, and each knight hopes to obtain a piece of land as fiefs.
"Yeah, but we knights must have a fief to be considered a true knight." The knight, seeing that he did not respond, was not surprised, and continued, "Of course, in our case, it is unlikely that we will directly obtain a fief. It is said that it is very peaceful here. I wonder if we have the opportunity to earn military merits?"
"There is always a chance." Knight Kaikuanxi said.
At this time, it seemed that we had arrived at the noble area. The carriage slowed down and the streets were also full of shops, but at this time, the knights noticed a team of cavalry.
The face of the Knight Kaikuanxi was curled.
On the street, a team of cavalry was advancing. They were wearing light armor, with long swords on their waists, and rode their horses steadily, slowly passing through the streets. Although there were only ten cavalrymen, their eyes were condensed and their horses were neat, making people feel that terrible power immediately.
"Master Kaikuanxi, the cavalry here is so elite!" Looking at the knight slowly spoke up.
Knight Kaikuanxi also nodded seriously: "All the elites who have gone through bloody battles."
The roads in the city center are very flat and wide, but they may not be the most prosperous place in the entire city.
After a moment, at a corner of the square, the carriage stopped.
"Everyone, the Lord's Mansion is here, please come down and follow the arrangements." Lu Xiupei said.
It is a huge villa with a spacious porch, a guard hall, a paved bluestone ground, and a crossbowman looking at the tiger on the arrow tower, all of which shows that their destination has arrived.
Lu Xiupei stepped forward to negotiate. After a moment, the housekeeper came and brought his group in. He handed over the weapons at the door.
In the path, you can see a huge garden, but there are no precious flowers planted, but they are lushly covered.
Everyone was led to the hall, which was very luxurious, with a smooth marble floor, waxed, which almost made people slip to the ground, and there were sofas in the corner to sit. Not only themselves in the hall, but many others were dressed decently.
At this time, a dining car had already been pushed over.
"Everyone, please wait a moment. The adults will meet you when they come back. Please drink milk tea. If you have anything, just give me instructions." The butler said politely.
The group of knights were obviously intimidated by this luxury and all took their seats.
"These are all guests who want to meet the adults... wait a moment, I'll go inside." Lu Xiupei said.
Knight Kaikuanxi nodded and watched him go away.
The host obviously had not appeared yet, and the guests were not impatient. Most of them gathered together and chatted, and some people greeted the standing servants from time to time and took more snacks.
These knights sat there alone, and the people had no intention of actively talking to each other.
Knight Kaikuanxi looked at all this sadly, but he didn't actually wait much time. Half an hour later, a servant came over: "Everyone, please go to the living room inside, sir, you will meet you."
At this time, the eleven knights entered, plus Lu Lie and Xiusang, and the small living room was even more luxurious, but no one had time to watch, and the owner here appeared in the small living room.
"Earl of Tetasha!" Everyone present saluted and watched in secret.
Romon was wearing a large druid robe and came under the support of two warriors wearing soft armor. He was tall, handsome, elegant and elegant. Among his black pupils, he had the indifference and awe of the superiors.
At first glance, it really looks like an earl.
Romon greeted warmly with the guests.
The meeting between Romon, Lulie and Xiusang was naturally very touching. Both of them had not seen the lord for a long time. The moment they saw Romon, they burst into tears and went up to kneel down halfway.
When Romon saw this, he couldn't help but feel a little sore in his nose, which made them hurry up, comfort him more, and said with a smile: "Lu Lie, Xiusang, I didn't expect that you are all level 4 warriors, you are still young, work hard!"
Afterwards, Lu Xiu Pei introduced the knights who came back with him one by one to Romon one by one, and the knights who were introduced were greeted one by one again.
These knights are very powerful, mostly between level 6 and level 8. The most important thing is that the awesomeness and sharpness of the battle formation, as well as the powerful energy reaction, cannot be concealed.
Seeing these knights who were tired but still energetic, Romon suddenly felt that perhaps Lu Xiupei was not wrong. Although he was good at making decisions, the starting point and result were good. According to the deeds mentioned before, these knights were all elites who had fought for the rest of their lives.
Romon immediately said to these knights: "Everyone, on behalf of Tetashaul, I welcome your arrival. I have heard of your deeds. You are all powerful knights."
"But you also know the rules. You have not made merits for our territory yet, so I cannot enthrone the territory to you, but you can enthrone your knighthood and allow you to serve in the territory."
"Every month, the Lord's Mansion pays you a salary. After you have made merits, you will enthrone the territory. What do you think of my proposal?"
"Earl Tetasha, it is already the greatest grace that you are willing to take us in. We are willing to swear allegiance to you and your family as a knight." Knight Kaikuanxi expressed his gratitude to everyone.
Once this sentence is said, the atmosphere is different, it is considered one of our own people.
After some greetings, Romon said, "Everyone, although I know you are wearing armor, the Lord's Mansion will send you a set of standard knight armor and two war horses."
"In real life, you should live in a villa temporarily. I will immediately order to build your small villa in the southern part of the nobles. At the current city speed, you will have your own home in half a month."
"The rewards of you are divided into three types. The first type is deposit, which is paid in silver coins, with 100 silver coins per person per month."
"The second is the salary you serve. We will arrange all of this part within half a month. During our term, we will enjoy the same treatment as other positions at the same level."
"The third is the annuity, which is the money rewarded at the end of the year. You are here just in time to catch up with this year's annuity."
"Finally, there are several rewards on the festival, which are very tedious, so I won't talk about them. Everyone, what do you think of such treatment?"
In this world, the conversation in this regard is quite frank.
The Knights had 100 silver coins per month, a little less, but considering the other salary, the armor and villas that had been given away, all the Knights were satisfied, they lowered their heads and said, "Yes, we are very satisfied."
"That's fine. I know you are very tired and hardworking. In the past half month, I will send a pastor to treat and recuperate, and I will arrange your positions in half a month." Romon said with satisfaction.
