"Oh, yes, there's one more thing."
Immediately afterward, Owen gave a second assignment."
Clive, you make a purchase plan as soon as possible.Each member of the militia must have a sturdy set of leather armor, a spear, and two sets of winter clothes that can be changed and washed.Be sure to get everything you need before winter arrives. ”He had an ominous feeling that the frontier town might not be able to resupply from the outside world after winter.Since Duke Eddie wants to face the undead monsters in the Eastrise Fortress, he will inevitably block the river to the north throughout the winter.At that time, the only river channel in the border town that can communicate with the outside world will be unusable, and the land route will be closed due to heavy snow, which will be very difficult to walk."
In such a hurry, the merchant will take the opportunity to raise the price, which will cost a lot of money.Is it worth spending so much money on those civilians?
Can't you just buy weapons?
”Clive looked pained.Seeing this, Owen showed a look of displeasure.This is a typical businessman mentality, who only thinks about maximizing benefits and does not want to pay too much."
That's your fault, Clive.Since the militia is fighting for the border towns, then I, as the lord, must provide them with complete equipment, and I can't just deal with things. ”"The Marquis is right, I'll do it."
I didn't expect that my attempt to save some money would anger the lord, so Clive hurriedly responded to the task before speaking.Calming down, Owen turned to look at the other person in the room."
Viscount Jarvis, as you just said, soldiers must be trained before they go into battle.Therefore, I would like you to serve as an instructor for this militia and be responsible for training them. ”"No problem."
Viscount Jarvis was quick to respond.After a pause, he added, "It's just that it takes years to train a qualified fighter."
It's a little over a month away from winter, and it's a bit rushed, and starting to train them now may not make much of a difference. ”"You don't need to worry about that, just follow the training plan I gave you."
Owen said confidently.Seeing that Owen was not worried at all, Viscount Jarvis was suddenly a little curious, could it be that the lord had mastered some kind of warrior quick method?
If that's the case, he'd like to see it."
Alright, I'm calling you here today to talk about something, and if nothing else, then let's go here."
After assigning the task, Owen was ready to let them step down like this.At this time, Clive hurriedly spoke: "Lord Marquis, there is another very important matter on my side. ”"Oh?
You say. ”"Man, I need manpower, Lord Marquis."
Clive cried, "The nobles of Frontier Town have run a lot in the past few days, and I still have to deal with the affairs they should be responsible for.As a result, my hair has fallen out so badly lately, so distressed. ”"That's pathetic."
Staring at the top of Clive's slick head, Owen almost burst out laughing, but thankfully held back."
Oops!
Lord Marquis, don't stare at me, give me some men!
”Hurriedly blocking the top of his bald head with his hand, it seems that Clive is very concerned about his baldness."
Uh-huh, I want to think about it."
Owen looked away.After a moment's thought, he responded, "Well, Clive, you can issue another recruitment order by the way."
Recruit literate people and give you a hand. ”"How many literate people can there be in Frontier Town?
Even if they are literate, they have no experience in this area at all, so isn't it confusing for me to recruit them?
”Clive looked disgusted.Otherwise, he wouldn't have had to send his apprentice to read out the announcement every time he made an announcement in the square."
If you don't understand, teach!"
Owen Zhengse said, "No one will do anything in the first place, don't you also learn from your teacher?"
Moreover, your apprentices have been following you for a while, so let them help you with the newbies.It may be hard work at first, but after a while, the burden will be lightened.Until then, you hold me up. ”"This ......
All right. ”Clive reluctantly accepted."
As for the problem of the lack of literate people, I will find a way, you should step back first."
Now that the lord had already given the order, Clive and Viscount Jarvis did not stay long and were ordered to retire.After the two left the study, Owen held his chin in one hand and frowned into thought.It's time to start implementing the Education for All plan.But where do you go to find someone to teach?
Suddenly, a figure appeared in Owen's mind, and that figure was Teresa.…… In the afternoon, Owen took Marpel out of the castle and went to the chapel where Teresa was.The chapel is located a little south of Bianshu Town, although the area is much smaller than the cathedral of Dongsheng Fortress, and the architectural style is relatively simple and simple, but it has all the facilities it should have.As soon as he entered the church hall, the midshipman who was cleaning opened his mouth in surprise and was stunned for a moment before he reacted."
Huh?
Lord Marquis, you, why are you here?
”Obviously, he hadn't entertained a lord-level person, and the trainee priest suddenly panicked, and forgot what to do next."
Could you please tell Teresa to come out."
Owen reluctantly reminded."
Oh, okay!
Please wait. ”After a while, Teresa hurried over, and her gentle and sweet smile made people feel good."
Lord Owen, why did you have time to come to us after your speech yesterday?""
Of course, I will come here because of something important."
Owen took out a beautifully wrapped gift box and handed it out, "Teresa, welcome back to Frontier Town, this is a gift for you." ”"AhhThank you, Mr.
Owen. ”With a flash of surprise in her eyes, Teresa accepted the gift generously and did not shirk it, obviously not the first time she had received a gift from Owen.Mapel, who was on the side, looked at the scene in front of him with envy, and suddenly said sourly: "It's so good." ”Hearing this, Owen glanced back at Marpel in surprise, feeling that she didn't look like someone who could say such things."
Huh?

Marpel, if you want, I'll get you one when I get back. ”"That'......
Forget it, don't bother Lord Owen. ”There was a flash of joy on his face, but Marpel shook his head eventually, not wanting to trouble Owen.Sure enough, Owen keenly captured this detail and thought about going back and preparing another gift.Instead of opening the gift in front of Marpel, Teresa asked Owen, "I guess you have something else to do, right?"
Lord Owen. ”"Yes."
Owen nodded, "I want to see Bishop Flynn, I wonder if he's free right now?"
”"No problem, Bishop Flynn is currently reading the canon to the faithful in the prayer room, and it is at the end of the stage, and it is almost over."
After saying that, Teresa turned to the trainee priest just now and ordered, "Osi, please take the Marquis to the reception room to rest for a while." ”"Yes."
Osi replied.Then, Teresa turned back to Owen and smiled, "Lord Owen, please wait in the reception room for a while, and I'll go and inform Bishop Flynn." ”"Okay."
After Teresa was gone, Ossie walked up in a reserved manner."
Lord Marquis, please come with me."
