Chapter 532: Span's Visit Chen Daolin's words left the two disciples speechless. ybdu Sasha and McQueen were both surprised by the teacher's words, and even more surprised by the look in Chen Daolin's eyes when he said this It seemed like a long time before Sasha muttered: "But, but teacher, Dean Carmen, why does she want to, why does she force you so much, you, but your own people in our academy."
"Enough" McQueen's eyes narrowed suddenly, and he reprimanded Sasha fiercely.
Although on weekdays, the young necromancer always looks very intimidated when facing Sasha, but when it is critical, this guy is quite calm.
"The dean naturally has the dean's intentions, and the teacher naturally has the teacher's decision, what do you ask?"
When McQueen stared, Sasha was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to refute, but she saw a hint of warning in McQueen's eyes, so she shrunk her neck and didn't dare to speak anymore.
McQueen immediately looked at Chen Daolin: "Teacher, then welcome the dean's matter" "Well, you two can arrange it.
This time, the dean also brought some other teachers and students from the academy, and they were all handed over to you to be responsible for settling in.
Well, let them live in our territory.
As for the city of Rova."
Chen Daolin hesitated: "Let's not go to Rowa City first, and wait for the knighthood, and then we will talk about it after we officially take over."
Well, McQueen, you're cautious, you take someone to Mulan City to meet Dean Carmen.
She's sure she'll arrive in Mulan City first.
And Sasha, you and Lucius are in our territory at once, well, right next to the temple, to vacate a few courtyards for the abbot and them. ” "Yes, Teacher."
Sasha rolled her eyes: "But I heard that there is also an archbishop of the church" "Let's settle down next to the temple as well."
Chen Daolin waved his hand casually.
Settle next to the temple Sasha froze.
What would it be like to settle the servants of the Goddess of Light next to the temple of the Peerless Martial Saint Sect Imagine that.
The archbishop of the Temple of Light, who lives next to the temple, listens to the disciples sing about all things every day, and watches them worship Guan Erye It will be some days before the arrival of the imperial capital.
Soon, Chen Daolin greeted a guest first.
General Span, the deputy of the Northwest Military Minister Panin and the son of the Imperial Chancellor Oviedo, came to visit with gifts as a representative of Panin, Duke of the Rhine, to congratulate Darling Chan on his knighthood.
Spann came very quickly.
It only took a few days to come from Mulan City to Chen Daolin's territory.
Like all those who came to Chen Daolin's territory for the first time, Spann took a great interest in everything here.
Including the new city that had already been built on a scale and the majestic temple of the Peerless Martial Saint Sect.
Naturally, it also includes the rows of brick kilns in the wilderness, and the large cornfields upstream of the river.
After visiting the corn processing workshop and watching the workers use guillotines and hammers to cut corn stalks into pieces and then crush them into powder, the curious General Spann couldn't help but grab a small handful, stuff it into his mouth and taste it.
"It tastes good."
Span's eyes lit up: "Do you have a lot of this food, can it be eaten as a staple food?"
Accompanying the reception was Baron Pierre.
The old baron watched as Spann shoved a handful of corn stalk powder into his mouth, and the corners of his eyes twitched for a moment.
Still decided to tell the truth: "We have a lot of this stuff Well, General Span, don't catch this thing anymore, this thing."
Actually, it's actually " Seeing that Spann seemed to want to grab a handful and stuff it into his mouth to taste, Baron Pierre smiled bitterly: "This thing is actually feed, which is used to feed livestock." ” Span's face stiffened, and he threw a handful of corn residues on the ground. opened his mouth: "Feed my god is such a good thing, you actually use it as feed, I think this thing tastes good, a little sweet and silky." ” "When there is not enough food.
It's not impossible to use it for emergencies, but we have better options. ” Baron Pierre then invited the general to the lounge, where he tasted a bowl of polenta and a few boiled corns.
Spann poured the polenta into two mouthfuls, his eyes lit up suddenly, and after he gnawed off a piece of corn, he let out a long sigh and rolled his eyes: "Your Excellency Baron Pierre, have you grown a lot of this kind of grain?"
Grain has been lacking in the northwest, and Nulin Province is currently reorganizing its armaments, once the war starts, grain will become an important strategic material, although Paning has the backing of the imperial center, and the materials can be transported from the inner hinterland area by the Lancang River, but even so, the cost is high.
If you can produce local grain, I heard that the yield of this corn is extremely high "This year's harvest is just enough for us to be self-sufficient.
Next year we plan to expand the planting area, of course, land is still an important constraint.
After all, as you know, Lord Darling Chan only bought a small amount of land when he first arrived. ” "It's a different story now."
Spann laughed and said, "Lord Darling Chan is about to become a baron, and the city of Rova and the land thirty miles north of him have become his domain, and I think the problem of land naturally does not exist. ” "Next year we will consider expanding the planting area according to the actual situation, after all, as you know, we are also understaffed, and it takes a lot of labor to build a new city."
"I'm puzzling about that."
Span shook his head: "Your Majesty has given Rova City to His Excellency Darling Chen, it is a ready-made and complete small town, and there is no need for Lord Darling Chen to build a new city." ” Baron Pierre bowed his head and smiled: "Lord Darling Chen's mind is not something I can guess. ” Cunning old guy Spann sighed in his heart.
He deliberately mentioned corn, in fact, he wanted to see if he could buy some, but this old guy was talking falsely, and he just refused to say something dry As for another specialty of Darling Chen's territory, loess bricks, Spann did not pay much attention to it.
There are quarries near Mulan City, but there is no shortage of building materials.
Although those houses made of loess bricks look very sturdy.
After a short day of visiting, Spann finally met the biggest target of his trip: Darling Chen.

The meeting place was in the middle of the new city, not too far from the temple.
A piece of mansion there is Chen Daolin's residence.
Spann sat in the living room for about ten minutes before he saw Chen Daolin striding in from outside the courtyard.
Unlike the magician in his impression, the young baron-to-be did not wear a magician's robe, but wore the uniform of a military commander in the army, with riding boots on his feet, and looked young and capable.
Chen Daolin was full of smiles, and when he strode in, he took off his gloves casually, and handed everything to an attendant beside him, along with the horsewhip.
"General Span" Chen Daolin smiled as he walked: "I'm sorry.
I've kept you waiting. ” Spann immediately stood up and took a few steps forward, also smiling, "Your Excellency" "Hahaha, don't say that, the knighthood order hasn't been handed yet, and I'm not a baron yet."
Chen Daolin waved his hand.
In fact, this is not the first time the two have met.
When he was in the imperial capital, Spann had met Chen Daolin but did not get acquainted.
At the beginning, Chen Daolin made a bet with those conservative traditional magicians in the magic academy, and the gamble that shocked all the magicians with a steam engine locomotive once attracted many nobles from the imperial capital to come and watch.
That time, Spann was actually there.
It's just that at that time, he was just watching the excitement in the crowd. didn't take the initiative to come out and get acquainted with this magical genius who was in the limelight.
Unexpectedly, in just a year, the two met again, but it became such a scene today.
Span looked at Chen Daolin quietly: This guy has done so many things in the northwest, not only took over the northwest fortress.
It also repelled a tentative invasion by the orcs.
I also heard that he once secretly made trouble in the imperial capital, and also defeated and killed the great swordsman Kao, that is to say, he has become a saint-level powerhouse Even Shiloh had to bow the emperor's arrogant head to him. pinched his nose and acquiesced to Chen Daolin's identity, and exempted him from all the accusations.
The Holy Rank powerhouse is really young enough Spann sighed secretly in his heart.
He suddenly remembered a thought in his heart: How many years has it been since such a young Saint Order Roland Empire has passed, Well, Du Wei, the original Duke of Tulip, seems to have become famous all over the world at such a young age The thought was only fleeting.
He couldn't help but laugh in his heart: What are you kidding, even if this Darling Chen is very powerful, where can he compare with Du Wei "I'm sorry to snub General Span.
I went to the Northwest Fortress last night to inspect it, and there are some things to deal with in the barracks. ” Spann laughed too.
Although he knew that the other party was talking nonsense, he hurried back Ordinary people may need it, but for a saint-level powerhouse, it is less than thirty miles away, and it is only a moment away The two exchanged a few more casual greetings, and even said a few interesting anecdotes about their time in the imperial capital.
During the period, they naturally complimented each other a few words.
After sitting down and drinking a cup of tea, Chen Daolin looked at Span: "I don't know if General Spann came this time on any military order from the Duke of Rhine?"
"You're laughing."
Span said: "You are not a soldier, where will there be any military orders. ” "That's not right."
Chen Daolin deliberately smiled faintly: "The Duke of Rhine is the Minister General of Military Affairs in the Northwest, and the military and civil affairs in the Northwest are controlled by him, so it stands to reason that my land is also under his jurisdiction." ” "Hahaha" Spann smiled fakely, and then said: "This time I came for nothing else, I heard that Your Excellency is about to be knighted, and the Duke of Rhine specially sent me as his plenipotentiary to congratulate you on the grand occasion of your knighthood." ” As he spoke, Spann picked up a gift slip from the table.
"This is a little bit of the Duke of Rhine's heart, and please don't refuse."
Chen Daolin took it with a smile and took a look, but he just glanced at it in a hurry, and the smile on his face converged.
Thirty barrels of first-class mutton butter.
One hundred barrels of ale. 300 pieces of cooked cowhide.
Ten sets of silver ritual vessels of various colors.
These are fairly normal.
But that's not right when you see it below 100 sets of light infantry armor, 100 swords, 400 spears, and 100 pairs of wooden shields.
One hundred standard bows.
Three thousand arrows.
One thousand kilograms of pig iron These are all ordnance Chen Daolin quickly calculated in his heart: a hundred sets of infantry light armor, a hundred swords and a hundred shields can arm a hundred shield infantry with swords.
Four hundred spears can be armed, and four hundred spearmen can be armed, and those cooked cowhides can be made into leather armor.
In addition to a hundred bows One hundred sword-wielding and shield-wielding men, four hundred spearmen, and one hundred archers There were 600 men in total, including two battalions of sword-wielding and shield soldiers, spearmen, and archers, which combined up with a mixed regiment of infantry and bows of a local garrison According to the military system of the Roland Empire, the military system of the regular combat corps was three battalions in a regiment.
The local garrison is a second-line army, and it is two battalions as a regiment.
"I'm afraid there is something wrong with these gifts."
Chen Daolin raised his head and squinted at Span with squinted eyes: "These are all ordnance, I have no official position, nor am I the commander of the army, let alone lead troops."
I can't take these ordnance.
The Imperial Code, possession of weapons, is a felony. ” Spann cursed in his heart: Do you still have less troops in your hands?
But he had to put a smile on his face: "What the Baron said is not right, you are a nobleman, and the nobles have the right to establish a private army."

According to the laws of the Empire, the baron could have a maximum of six hundred private troops.
Therefore, these gifts given by our Lord Duke are no more, no less, and they are just not violated. ” "But these gifts, won't they all be the materials in the army under the Duke's command, is it really okay for the Duke to give me these military materials?"
The hypocrisy Span scolded again in his heart, so he had to say patiently: "These materials are all old goods accumulated in the warehouse, although they are in old condition, they can still be used, and the Duke is rectifying the military affairs in the northwest, and he originally planned to redress the army."
If you're worried about what to do, you might as well count it as old supplies from the army that you bought from the Duke.
You can give some money casually, and it will be easy to explain it. ” Chen Daolin smiled: "In this way, thank you Lord Duke for your kindness." ” "You're welcome."
Span Zhengse said: "Lord Duke said, you are now in the north of us, guarding the northwest fortress, repelling the orcs in the north, and you have a heavy responsibility on your shoulders.
State affairs are important, and even if these things are really given to you, they should be.
It's just that I'm afraid of those troubles in the officialdom, so as not to make tongues.
If you still have any needs, we, the Duke, are willing to be your strong backing. ” That's where the pull begins Chen Daolin smiled: "If you need it, you really have it." ” He looked at Spann with a deliberate smile: "I am in urgent need of 10,000 male soldiers in my hands now, I don't know if the Duke of Rhine can solve my problems."
