Chapter 79 Introduction to Swordsmanship (Revision)(1/2)
The merchants who came here were all relaxed, chatting and exchanging information with each other.
In addition to some gossip, everyone also exchanged their views on the situation and sought opportunities for cooperation.
Although the security situation in Leicester's territory has dropped significantly due to the territorial war recently, Wall Village is definitely an exception.
Sir Ander's reputation was made of blood. Even if he was not a knight and had no soldiers under his command, his prestige alone was enough to suppress one side.
In this world, a powerful lord often means the security of the territory, and security can bring development.
Therefore, the future of investment in Sir Ander's territory is guaranteed, which is why these merchants responded so actively to Ender's call.
While the merchants were talking, the voice of the young servant just beginning to change his voice came from outside the door: "Sir Ander Tills and Ms. Amylia arrived."
Apprentices Harry and Robbie wore escort costumes, pretended to be jazz attendants and pulled open the wooden door, then stood separately on both sides of the door, and were shouted by apprentices Robbie.
The new jazz Ander is poor and has only Angus under his command, so he has to use a few apprentices to fill the scene. Fortunately, everyone knows his situation, so no one will pick on his actions that are not in line with the noble demeanor.
In the surprised gaze of the merchant, Sir Ander, who was freshly released, walked in shoulder to shoulder with a tall and elegant girl, and the two female apprentices, Kelly and Fella, followed behind them as maids.
Lord Ander's growth experience is not a secret in Leicester's collar.
Although Ender's experience of becoming a lord was very inspiring, not many people wanted to imitate his successful experience.
It is not something that ordinary people can imagine to kill nearly 200 thieves alone, let alone to do it. People with this ability can be called strong people themselves, and they can probably become knights wherever they are.
To be honest, many people have surprised that Ender was actually named Lord rather than Knight.
But during Ender's growth, there was absolutely no such person who seemed to be a noble lady.
But this does not prevent everyone from flattering. After all, Ender is already a lord and is already a superior to another class of people.
The merchants stood up to welcome them.
"Sir Ander, you are safe."
"Sir Ander, you look radiant today."
"Sir Ander, may the light of courage always shine on you."
Ander smiled and returned the gifts one by one, greeting the merchants.
After a few greetings, Ande gave up Belle, who had changed his name, and introduced to all the merchants: "Everyone, this is Ms. Amilia, an important assistant I invited. She is my plenipotentiary and will be responsible for all related matters in the construction of my territory."
Ms. Amilia, the name of lady is not something that anyone can use.
Miss, ladies and ladies are the honorific titles of women in the upper class.
Originally, these three titles were exclusive to aristocratic women, but imitating the superiors was a situation that would occur in any society. Therefore, in this world, the squire class also used these three titles to call women of different identities.
A lady refers to a woman who has a father and brother around her and is supported and protected by her father and brother, and generally refers to a girl who has not yet been married;
Lady refers to women who have not married or have become widows, but do not use the surname of her dead husband, and establish a family alone. These women are very independent and can basically be regarded as men.
As for the wife, I won’t give more introductions here.
——————————————
As the eldest lady of the Locoway family, Belle actually does not have much management experience - that is the butler's job, not her task.
Although Belle told Ye Mo that she had experience in managing the family, in fact, she had just given orders to maids, male servants or soldiers, organized a banquet or prepared some logistics supplies.
This ability is still far from managing the entire family affairs.
Of course, even fresh graduates will deliberately exaggerate their abilities in order to get a higher salary when looking for a job.
What's more, Miss Belle is not as simple as finding a job, it is related to her own fate. So in order to get rid of her terrible fate in the future, it is normal for her to exaggerate her abilities - in fact, this exaggeration is nothing if it is placed on the earth, and there are many people who brag about ten times bigger than her.
When she arrived at the Hunter's Hunter yesterday, Belle was overly tired and didn't think so much about it, but when she ate something and woke up beautifully, all kinds of fears came to her heart - Ye Demon is not a good person, and if she found out that she had deceived him, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Fortunately, yesterday afternoon, this sunny boy, Ande, gave her a reassurance.
First of all, Ander called her "Sister Amilia" with a sweet mouth, which made Amilia feel that "the two of them have a great advantage in getting along with each other";
Then, Ende first told Belle about his origin without reservation, so that Belle knew why Ende wanted to find a master who could build a territory or even operate a territory to help - because Ende was a poor man and had no experience in territorial operation, and even his current aristocratic demeanor was urgently trained by Mrs. Perth.
No wonder many places have a little unstandard movements - Belle's mind has magnified her advantages a little.
Finally, Ande also stated that the main projects of territory construction have been outsourced, but Ande has never had experience in operating the territory independently, so he must find someone with some experience to set up the territory's personnel and stance - this is a significant trust. If the personnel rights are really in the hands of Amilia, it will not be difficult to abolish the lord in the future.
Amilia was surprised at that time, but thought that she was recommended by Ende's teacher. Perhaps Ende trusted himself so much because he trusted his teacher Ye Mo.
Ander also promised at the time that if Belle did a good job, she would be the future government official in the territory.
Belle is not very rare for government officials but not government officials, but since someone has done the main project of territory construction, Belle is still very confident in handling other details.
Belle felt that if she could really train her ability to handle territory government affairs at Ender, it would be more helpful to the re-emergence of the Locoway family in the future.
Moreover, looking at Ander's sunny little face, Belle felt that serving Sir Ander for three years should not be a very torment.
——————————————
At this moment, Amilia (Belle) was sitting on the long table with her waist and back straight, which was the most standard way to sit for noble women.
She looked at the merchants who were sitting slightly bent on both sides of the long table, and were quite satisfied.
Amilia had long wanted to experience the feeling of sitting on the long table and giving orders like her father and brother. Unexpectedly, she had this opportunity now.
"I was entrusted by Sir Ander to be responsible for the construction of Sir Ander's territory. Do you have any objections?" Emilia, following her father's habit, tapped the wooden table with the knuckles of her index finger and middle finger, focusing the merchants' attention.
Everyone on both sides of the long table nodded, and no one raised objections without knowing it.
"If there is no objection, we will start the first thing." Amilia acted decisively and went straight to the point.
"We need thirty households, who can provide it?" Amilia asked with great momentum after looking around.
Everyone looked at someone.
The merchant Mandel asked carefully: "Ms. Amilia, I can provide the people who are the people who commit the crime of insulting the lord. Can you accept it?"
"Oh, they insulted that lord?" asked Amilia.
"Insult our beloved Surrey Leicester lord family. They have been removed from the Leicester territory and are now refugee. If you can make the decision, you only need to pay five big silver coins per household, and I will help you move them here."
The merchant Mandel replied cautiously. These lords are now the biggest hot potatoes. Although everyone knows that they have no choice, the lord's majesty must be maintained, so they were expelled from the four northern lords within a specified period of time.
Even if the newly built Lords and Knights everywhere now need to be led by the people, no one will risk angering the Leicester family and take in these people - and for ordinary people, it is too difficult for them to travel across the entire northern four leaders to other territories.
Seeing this Ms. Amilia sitting there with amazing momentum, Mandel couldn't help but want to try it.
"Very good, how many households are there like this?" Amilia not only wasn't angry, but she also had a smile on her face.
She didn't care at all that these leaders insulted the Leicester family. She even heard that someone insulted the Leicester family, but she couldn't help but smile on her face.
The merchants secretly exchanged glances with each other. They didn't expect that the lady in front of them had a grudge with the Leicester family. They just thought that the lady actually didn't care about taking in and insulting the Leicester family. If such a person is not stupid, he is confident.
"There are 45 families in total. If you can accept them all, it will be a big help. I can only accept you ten gold coins." Mandel said.
"What are the specialties of these people?" Emilia did not answer directly.
"There are twenty families among them, trained militiamen, and two families can work as carpenters and cobblers, and the others are farmers." Mandel quickly replied.
"Yes, but now the food is hard to buy, you have to provide enough food they eat until next spring."
"That's going to add another forty gold coins."
Mandel hurriedly said that although the territory war was basically over, the price of food had not yet come down, and the amount of food that was forty-five families to eat for half a year was not a small amount.
“Maximum thirty-five gold coins.”
"Trade! Ms. Amilia, I will bring them here for up to three days."
"Next item, I need ten well-trained servants who can do all kinds of indoor and outdoor work."
"Ms. Amilia, I can provide this." Another businessman, Marvin, continued, who is also a famous human businessman (human power intermediary) in the Leicester territory.
"There are too many thieves in the Wilter leader, and the atmosphere is bad; the people in the Drood are disgusting. Go and help me find the servants who have scattered out of the Castle of Locoway. They are strictly trained and can make people feel at ease. If it is scattered out of the Castle of Locoway, even more than ten people can." Amilia glanced at Marvin and said lightly.
This glance seemed to be the look of the noble superior looking at the slave, which made the merchants even more sure that Ms. Amilia was of noble origin and was definitely not an ordinary person.
"Your will, ma'am." Marvin lowered his head respectfully.
Amilia gradually got into the role and arranged things one by one.
Behind her, Kelly and Phella helped her hold wooden boards that recorded different contents.
Time flies quickly, and Amilia assigned various affairs with a strong aura. The merchants came up to collect tasks and deposits, respectfully kissed Amilia's back of her hand, and then left.
Amilia leads the entire negotiation process, or rather, the whole process is Amilia sending a task, and the merchants say whether it can be done.
"Sister Amilia, you are so awesome!" After seeing that the merchants had left, Kelly jumped up and stared at Amilia with starry eyes, saying enviously.
There is a mysterious way of communication between girls. Just one afternoon yesterday, Kelly and Fella had become familiar with Amilia and both called her sister.
This is also related to Belle's intentional relationship. After all, Kelly and Fella are not real maids, but apprentices admitted by Ender. Belle is a newcomer and must have a good relationship.
In the eyes of Kelly and Fella, this Amy Liya sister's aura is even stronger than when Teacher Ander personally presided over the meeting.
"But some small businessmen are nothing." Amilia waved her hand disapprovingly.
You should know that in the Castle of Locoway, these secondary merchants and the servants of the Baron's family are of the same social level. Belle's instructions to do things and to command her to slaves feel the same, and naturally shows a strong and confident aura.
"Okay, now you get these things, let's go and report to Sir Ander about your work today."
"Oh, okay, Sister Amilya."
