"My lord, don't look at these miners who are dressed like tramps." Salman stroked his mustache and said, "But each of them is a small rich man."
"Oh?"
Salman is relatively familiar with the situation in Saudi Arabia. The lords in some mining areas are still Canglan's loyal licking dogs, so he can be said to have a clear background.
"Those who can enter the town for consumption are all free men, and they can be regarded as doing well in the mining area. Some people don't look like they are well-dressed, but they are actually small slave owners."
George followed the man pointed by Salman, and found that although the man was stretched, there were several people around him.Looking carefully, he was still wearing a firecracker and a dagger around his waist, and there were still blood stains on the dagger that hadn't been cleaned.And these people's faces are also full of flesh.
When the group saw George looking over, they nodded and bowed quickly.
After a glance, George withdrew his gaze, nodded and said, "It seems that there are several types of people in this mining area. It should be very lively when you come here."
"Don't tell me." Salman laughed meaningfully: "The people here are much more complicated than those outside. You may think that the mining area is orderly, but in fact, the mining area is not only divided into There are many gangs, and there are also bandits and murder businesses."
After hearing what Salman said, a middle-aged red-robed arbitration knight beside George snorted coldly.It seemed to recall some unpleasant experience.
George smiled and became interested. He planned to take Ah Fu down for a stroll.
Henry Austin is the name of that cold-faced Arbitration Knight. He is considered an old Arbitration Knight of Sanctuary. He has gone through many trials, but in the end he kept his heart.
Moreover, he had been with Garvey, led soldiers, and fought in wars.
Although in his current status, if he stomped his feet, any baron or earl would have to shrink his neck, but he was once a miner who was sold from the south to the north.
He is in his 40s and has stayed in many mining areas, but he has survived and even recorded accounts for the mine owner.
He has a relatively good understanding of the situation in various mining areas, and he is literate, has means, has brains, and even learned some magic.
Originally, after Henry followed George to Qiongying, he stayed in Elda. As a sergeant major, he trained a regiment of new troops under Tanya's hands. Reaching the southern border, dealing with those disobedient Southern Wilderness bandits, and occasionally training those ignorant nobles in Eldar.
This time, George heard that the mining area was not very peaceful, and people often came and harassed the surrounding area, including people from the southern desert and local bandits.The situation can be described as more complicated.So he checked the list for a day and transferred the talent Henry.
After that, he will be in charge of this mining area, strictly speaking, the entire duchy.In addition to the guards and the Duke's military affairs, he is also responsible for cooperating with the consortium to manage the mining area.
The construction of the new army in the Sanctuary is more similar to that of the Moon Kingdom, and Henry has real combat experience, and he has dealt with bandits in the Southern Wilderness.So Henry is able to manage the troops of the Moon Kingdom here.
Well, this army of the Moon Kingdom, now following Prince George of the Moon Kingdom, can be regarded as a royal guard.
This time, Magnetic Shuttle also brought some new weapons, although not many, but they are full of power.
After the portal here is opened, the more than 1000 Moon Kingdom soldiers here can be fully assembled.
Although this mining area is not on the front line, it is still very important.In the Moon Kingdom, it is the first armed force.
When they entered the castle, besides some soldiers from the Moon Kingdom, there were also some Dawn Knights patrolling the city gate and the city wall.After seeing the boss coming with the team, these people quickly opened the city gate.
Many knights came down, commanded the soldiers, and helped the team carry things.But because the boss didn't go into the castle, the people in the team didn't move their positions except those who were working.There were only a few soldiers of the Moon Kingdom who were in charge of guarding the gate, and they went to the castle in a panic to call for someone.
0762 The mob with lax military discipline
George did not enter the castle in a hurry, but watched the soldiers who were training in the yard.He found that these soldiers were not dancing knives and guns or practicing bows and arrows, but practicing square steps!Stand in military posture!
And they also form some strange back-shaped arrays from time to time.
George noticed that these soldiers had no armor or spears, only a military uniform, and only a one-meter-long wooden stick in their hands.
Obviously, in the vicinity of the Golden Kingdom, which is a large area without fog, the army of the Moon Kingdom still adopts the tactic of queuing up and shooting.But this tactic is extremely effective. In this era, they fought against the lords of various countries and were in the form of crushing.
That is to say, the people from the Southern Wilderness can challenge a little bit now.
This group of soldiers seemed to have practiced from morning to night, and they were already sweating profusely.It seems that the formation is still neat, but to a discerning person like Henry, it can be seen that this group of soldiers is acting.They should have been out of training for a while.
Among these soldiers, one already had a belly.Those military uniforms were also clean, as if they were newly changed in the past few days.
Obviously, everyone here knows that a certain prince is going to take over here.Quickly sharpen your knives and guns and pretend.
And it seems that during these days, the knights of the dawn have not less repaired them.Looking at the people on the city wall, you can see the mess below. The soldiers of the Moon Kingdom are very curious, but because there are Dawn Knights still patrolling the city wall, these guys don't even turn their heads.Occasionally, someone does not stand in a good military posture, and the knight just kicks up.Not long after, these people stood like javelins.
"My lord, it seems that in the past two years, the mining area has been relatively peaceful." Henry said after looking at it.
Then he looked at the cannons on the city wall, and found that a few Black Lake veteran soldiers were leading people to maintain the cannons over there, while smiling and waving towards this side.So Henry added: "It seems that the artillery has not been used for a long time. It has not been maintained much."
"Hmm." George took out a cigar, and Henry hurriedly lit it for the boss.After taking a good breath, he said: "In the eyes of the Sun King, these mines are not easy for them to develop, and they were useless in the past. Every time I come here, I mainly pick the fruits, plus extortion. Come to think of it, Elizabeth In fact, there will be a lot less income. After this is handed over to you, you must manage it well both internally and externally."
Henry nodded. He knew that in the next few months it would be an eventful time. Not only miners would make trouble, but people from the southern desert would often come here.
Because in the mining area, there must be dogs from Nanhuang wearing a set of pants with them. In the future, when Nanhuang can't scrape oil and water from here, they will definitely make a fuss together.In addition, the boss is going to visit Saudi Arabia during this period, so Nanhuang might come to the regular army.
However, no problem.
Henry looked at the flat magnetic gold shuttle flying in the sky, and he couldn't use it well.But if it is to snatch some horses, it will be quite interesting to occasionally go to the surrounding southern wilderness cities and tribes to push back a few waves, and then fight the autumn wind.
"When are you going to town, George. Are we just hanging around here?"
George knew it was Irene without looking back.He ignored her.Looking at the vice hall of the castle, the gate guards who went to report had already brought the mine manager and the officers of the Yue Kingdom army and ran over in a panic.
On a certain window of the castle, Lorna was still holding a small account book and waving her hand. I think this lazy girl is too lazy to come down, and the rest of the consortium are busy reconciling accounts.
After that, George walked into the castle while chatting with these people.
Among the officers of the Yue Kingdom army, the leader is a middle-aged major. It sounds like he should have experienced a lot of wars in the past, and even participated in the Battle of May in the southern desert of the Moon Kingdom.You could be considered a serious veteran.
However, since coming to this mining area, this guy has gradually become a little bit better, even his belly has been bulging.
George introduced Henry to everyone. After the officers chatted with Henry for a while, these elves could tell from the awe-inspiring demeanor of the arbitrating knight commander and the scars on his face that he was from the pile of dead men. The guy who crawled out of it.I don't know if he understands firearms, but I'm afraid that he will be completely gone in the chic days of evolution.
In the past four days, the officers of the Moon Kingdom and the Sand Kingdom, as well as the bandits in the mining area, have learned a lot about what those Dawn Knights are like.
To understand the military, they look like a group of well-trained and strict upper-level officers. To put it bluntly, they are capable and experienced, but they are not down-to-earth.
But this group of officers is clear about the private activities among the army, crows, and vultures. Each of them has a bright mirror in their eyes, and it is not easy to fool them at all.Those little tricks of the moon officials can't beat them at all.
Sometimes, the moon officials are very skeptical. Could it be that these holy court knights are all mixed up from the bottom?Otherwise, how could such high-level military officers understand these small activities at the bottom?It made everyone look like a naked body in front of these holy court knights.
This is obviously not logical.But the truth seems to be in front of us again.
Among these knights, those with the word "arbitration" are the most difficult to deal with.Not only are the methods extraordinary, but they also have insight into people's hearts.
The Cavalier Henry who came here today has these two words.And also an arbitrator
George walked around the castle and understood the simplicity of the place.The only good thing is that although the study where the consortium works is moldy, other rooms still seem to be taken care of from time to time.
"Are we all servants here?" George said, looking at the people working downstairs.It looked like they were all from the town, dressed casually.It's also a bit sloppy.When serving the plate, the finger will stick into the bowl and lick the thumb
But George didn't pick that there are no maids here, but the number of servants here is a bit wrong. Obviously, there should be both male and female servants.And maids are also needed, because there are many ladies in the consortium, and related women will be needed to help and take care of the food and daily life in the future.
"Ugh." The steward and housekeeper scratched his face, not knowing what to say: "Your Highness, our servants are all from the town, so they all have their own serious jobs. I have already sent someone to call them. They should be on the way now." Look this way, they're all coming in."
