Chapter 42 Nobles (2)

Jerry adjusted the white bow at his throat, tugged on the gorgeous beige tuxedo, gently adjusted the two palm-wide gold and jade belt around his waist, and slightly shook the jasper on his left wrist.

Bracelet, smiled and said: "Okay, today I will take you to the imperial capital to see what delicious food and fun there are. Oh, my God, Lei, this uniform is simply made for you. Although

The scars on your face are a bit scary, but there must be a lot of little girls who will be hooked by you... Oh my god, should I wear my uniform too? "

This pure black tight-fitting uniform is made up of straightening the round lines of the standard samurai uniform and adding a wide cloak-like coat. On the left chest, there is a large open mouth.

The dragon-shaped logo carved with blue crystal and the two fine rubies inlaid on the dragon's eyes show Lei's identity as the legion commander. On the towering collar, the two thin gold lines are so inconspicuous.

, but at the end of the golden thread, the two tiny ruby ​​stars represent the identity of Lieutenant General Lei.

Around the waist is a wide pure black belt, with a flat black crystal the size of a fist inlaid in the middle of the belt. It looks luxurious, generous and domineering.

Lei shook his head and asked: "How is it? Do the uniforms in the imperial capital come in many sizes? They actually fit my figure exactly."

Jerry smiled: "When we first entered the empire, didn't you have your height measured once? At that time, your body shape information was sent to the imperial capital, so several sets were made according to your figure.

Uniform. But you look really powerful. My God, Lei, you are actually more than a head taller than me. You look like a Bicester..."

Lei waved his fist heavily: "Are you from Bicester? Huh..." He took the specially made broad sword handed over by Gosia and wore it on his waist.

Jerry shrugged his shoulders: "Okay, let's go and have some breakfast first. The two girls I had last night were so wonderful that they made my waist sore. Oh, Gosia, how many people can you bring?

Just keep up. Don't bring too many people. I still have several subordinates outside... Lei, I have to tell you something. You are in the imperial capital now. If you are not clear about something, you will probably

It offends people."

Lei followed Jerry outside and asked: "What is so important? We are also nobles now, and we are also the commanders of the army. Is there anyone more..."

Jerry waved his hand relaxedly and said: "What, we are indeed both nobles, but our two titles are just earls. In the empire, there are a lot of people with earl status. Although they are the commander of the legion, they are the same as the earls.

Compared with the Minister of Military Affairs, who are we? The largest forces in the empire are the various big families or family alliances headed by the old duke. They are the most powerful forces in the imperial capital, and we cannot offend them. However, as long as you

Even if you don't directly conflict with them, I can keep you fine. After all, my grandfather is also the leader of a large family alliance."

Lei nodded blankly. Jerry glanced at Lei quickly and said with a smile: "Anyway, as long as you listen to what I say and do it, there won't be too many problems. Anyone I can provoke, you can Even if they are dead, no one will care about them. If I can't afford to offend anyone, Lei, you'd better just act like a grandson."

Lei nodded quickly and said with a smile: "This is best. You deal with those damn interpersonal problems. I won't... By the way, where is Lomat?"

Jerry shook his head: "Lomart? He has to go home first. His father owes some foreign debts. He has to go back to deal with it. He will report to you then."

After saying a few words, they had left Lei's bedroom, passed through the ornately decorated corridor at the door, and arrived in a vast hall. A man was dressed like a parrot, but his face was lean and his eyes revealed a shrewd look. When the old man saw Lei coming out, he bowed quickly and asked: "Sir, does your bedroom door need repairing?"

Lei was stunned for a moment, but Jerry already laughed: "Lei, this is your butler Cosomo. If you have anything to do in the future, just ask him to do it... The door of Mr. Lei's bedroom, of course It needs to be repaired. You can go and see if it can be done. Lei, your mansion has a main building, six auxiliary buildings on both sides, and two rows of wings behind the garden, which is enough for a thousand people to live in. Here. So your five hundred personal knights have settled here, in the annex buildings on the left and right."

With a thunderous cry, Gosia said: "Yes, sir, 400 of our 500 people are responsible for the security of the entire mansion, and the other 100 people will work in groups of ten to protect your safety. , so you can rest assured of everything.”

Everyone walked through the hall, passed a curved, wide staircase, and arrived at a hall on the second floor that was decorated with oil paintings, inlaid with huge mirrors, and decorated with soft vertical line statues. Gru He explained: "Sir, the one hundred knights responsible for your safety all live in the room on the second floor, together with your personal servants and maids. If you need it, there are some in your bedroom. Ring the bell to call them."

Jerry, on the other hand, started nagging about the layout of the hall: "Oh, it's a very soft design. This is the furnishing style from the Wright Empire, right? It's a good place to go on a date with a woman."

Making dirty jokes, Jerry pulled the sleepwalking Lei downstairs and into the lobby on the first floor. There were more than a dozen servants in black uniforms happily running back and forth in the lobby, and they didn't know it. They were busy with something. When they saw the thunder coming, they quickly stopped respectfully and bowed deeply.

Jerry said: "According to common sense, these people are assigned to you by the Imperial Ministry and the Ministry of State. All expenses are the responsibility of the Ministry of State, so you don't have to worry about the salaries of these people. Of course, Lei, If you want to reward them with something, that is your own business. Well, your territory is near the Moro Forest, eight hundred miles west of the imperial capital, and includes seven castles, thirty-five towns, and one One hundred and forty-seven villages produce fine wine, wood, parchment and exquisite crafts. These are all profitable things. Lei, you have a good territory."

Lei's head was buzzing. There were seven castles in his territory? More than thirty towns? More than a hundred villages? What a vast territory it was.

Jerry said naggingly: "My territory is not bad. It is the territory of a marquis who had his property confiscated after the last great purge. The area of ​​the territory is one-third larger than yours, but the total output is larger than

Not on your territory. If it weren't for the abundance of beauties there, I wouldn't like that land. The largest river in the empire flows through my territory, Lei. It is said that those beauties drank the water from that river and became like this.

Where’s Shui Ling?”

"Also, Lei, you should identify the tax officers in your territory, but I don't think you have these people at home, so I went to the Ministry of State this morning to make a call.

Later, tell them that it is better to keep the current personnel intact. You are the army commander of the empire anyway, and those guys will not dare to embezzle your property no matter what. Otherwise, you can kill their whole family for any reason.

As for your garden in your territory... Oh, don't look at me. You have three villas, a hunting ground, four lumber camps, and two pastures in your territory. Those are your own.

Comoso will take care of the property. He is the butler of a certain noble family. Because that guy committed a crime, he was brought to you by the Ministry of State."

Lei walked out of the hall and sighed: "Oh my god, does it take so much trouble to be a noble?"

Jerry looked at Lei in confusion: "Oh my god, Lei, how lucky it is to be a nobleman. In your mansion, there are 157 male servants and 95 maids. I

After looking at them, they all look pretty good, and the vast majority of them are virgins... Hey, I won’t talk about this, what about this, there are also thirty-one craftsmen such as gardeners, carpenters, etc., and one general manager.

There are five butlers who manage finance, wine cellar, banquets, clothing, building maintenance, etc. You don’t need to manage it yourself at all.”

Jerry hammered Lei's arm hard and said with a smile: "Even for your ranches and so on, in the first few years you just had to collect money. I calculated, your private output of goods,

It's worth about six million gold coins every year. This is your pure profit. As for the taxes you collect from those damn commoners, it's about nine million gold coins every year, which is enough for you to live the most luxurious life in the imperial capital.

"

Lei almost fainted. He didn't need to do anything. How could he earn so much every year? Think about his life in Kali Village. It was so easy to hunt a wild beast and only need a few silver coins for its skin.
