Allen opened the door curtain and walked in. At this time, the house was very warm. Oil lamps were lit one after another. The walls were inlaid with dense moonstones. The whole room was extremely bright. A fire was burning in the fireplace in the corner, and there was a layer of pavement on the ground.
Thick blanket.
There were only Mrs. Lisa and Alyssa in the room. The two brothers Art and Abner, Allen, did not see it. Mrs. Lisa seemed to be teaching some etiquette to Alyssa who was wrapped like a bear. Alyssa was struggling.
Move your arms.
"Alan!" A cold wind blew outside the house, causing Mrs. Lisa to react. When she saw that the person coming was Alan, she shouted with a smile.
"Brother Allen!" Alyssa smiled broadly and rushed towards Allen in a hurry. She grabbed Allen's arm and shook it vigorously, with a hint of cunning on her face. Now that brother Allen is here, she doesn't have to
Let’s practice those awkward moves again.
"Alan, sit down quickly! If you don't come, I'm going to send people to find you! I still want to discuss with you about Irene's marriage to Lite of the Damulin family! Irene is not young anymore, and she can't
No more delay!"
Mrs. Lisa first came over, forcibly pulled Alyssa from Allen's arm, and handed it to the maid next to her. Then she smiled and said to Allen while Alyssa screamed with dissatisfaction.
After hearing this, Allen was not in a hurry to talk to Mrs. Lisa about his own affairs. After all, his sister Irene's affairs were also very important. After all, her sister Irene was already twenty years old, which is quite a lot. At the same age,
Most of the noble ladies are already married.
He first sat down on the chair next to him with a thick blanket. Mrs. Lisa sat next to Allen and called the maid beside her to quickly make some tea.
"What does sister mean?" Allen asked. After all, it is up to Eileen to decide when to hold the wedding.
"I have asked her a long time ago, and she naturally agreed with everything, and said that everything is decided by me!" Mrs. Lisa smiled helplessly.
When Allen heard this, he also had a smile on his lips and said: "Since my sister has left it to you to handle this time, you will be the one to decide everything!"
"But there are some things that you should take care of. After all, you are the head of the Charles family!" Mrs. Lisa shook her head and said firmly.
"What do you think?" Allen raised his eyebrows and asked curiously.
"If Irene marries Rose Collar, I would like to allocate part of the manors belonging to the Charles family in the seven counties of the principality to Irene's name. I have tentatively selected twenty manors. Here is the list and corresponding information. You
have a look!"
After Mrs. Lisa finished speaking, she took a booklet from the maid next to her and handed it to Allen.
Since Allen unified the Red Dragon Principality, all the manors of the nobles in the seven counties have been brought under the name of the Charles family. With the support of this large number of manors, most of the expenses in the Charles family's palace come from this.
Allen reached out to take it, and after looking through it briefly, he said calmly: "Let's increase it to fifty! With fifty manors to support me, even if my sister lives in the rose collar in the future, the conditions will not be much worse!"
Under normal circumstances, a barony only has one or two manors, but at this time, in one county of the Red Dragon Principality, the remaining manors are only over a hundred years old, which means that Allen gave half of the county's manor to Ai.
Lin.
"Okay! And regarding the cavalry escort that Irene will bring to the Rose Collar, how do you think you should choose?" Mrs. Lisa nodded and asked again.
The cavalry escort is a bodyguard prepared by the noble lady's family after she gets married. They only follow the noble lady's orders to ensure that she will not be treated unfairly and to protect her safety.
Although it seems that due to the status gap between the two families, the possibility of Irene being bullied is very slim, but this cavalry escort is not immune.
And Mrs. Lisa naturally has no power to form a cavalry team!
Allen thought for a moment and said, "Let's take care of this!"
He planned to select a group of older men with rich combat experience from each knight order to form a hundred-man team to serve as Irene's cavalry escort.
However, once they are selected, it means that they will no longer have the opportunity to make meritorious deeds, so Allen will give these people some compensation.
"There is one last thing, and that is the specific time of the event. This needs to be decided after you, the head of the Charles family, and the head of the Damulin family discuss it!" Mrs. Lisa said.
"This matter doesn't need to be so troublesome. It's up to you to decide it yourself, and then just inform the Damulin family!" Allen said calmly.
After hearing this, Mrs. Lisa's face was tangled for a moment, then she returned to normal and nodded.
"I also have something to ask you when I come here this time!" After Mrs. Lisa finished speaking, Allen sat up straight with a solemn expression.
Sensing Allen's tone, Mrs. Lisa put down the steaming teacup in her hand and looked at Allen.
"Let me first introduce to you the reserve warrior base that the principality has built some time ago! This base will cultivate elite warriors such as cavalry and infantry for the principality.
From now on, in addition to the Charles family in the principality, whether they are nobles or civilians, if they want to join the army and achieve meritorious service, they must complete all assessments in the base!
In other words, if the principality wants to be knighted in the future, it must enter the reserve warrior base!
From now on, soldiers of the principality army will only be selected from the base." Allen explained.
Mrs. Lisa frowned and then relaxed. She didn't know what Allen meant. These big things seemed to have nothing to do with her, so she didn't say anything and continued to wait for Allen's next words.
"After the base is established, reserve soldiers will be recruited into the base before the Harvest Festival. They are all between the ages of thirteen and sixteen. Aite and Abner are now thirteen years old, so I want to recruit them
Recruit into the base for training!" Allen looked at the confused Mrs. Lisa and said bluntly.
"What!" Mrs. Lisa's face changed drastically, and she finally understood. She shook her head quickly and said: "Alan! Art and Abner are only thirteen years old. Isn't it too early! How can thirteen or fourteen years old be considered?
Just join the army! It’s better to wait a few more years, until they are twenty-eight years old..."
"This policy will not change! The recruitment age of the reserve warrior base can only be limited to between thirteen and fifteen years old and cannot be changed. Moreover, they are not going to participate in combat, but to undergo training, which may last up to two years.
Three years, some even longer!" Before Mrs. Lisa could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Allen!
This policy was decided through discussion between him and Antonio and others, and it is absolutely impossible to change it at will. The younger the soldier is, the stronger his learning ability is, and the easier it is to cultivate his outlook and cognition, which can greatly enhance the loyalty of the army in the future. It is commonly known as...
brainwashing.
"But..." Mrs. Lisa looked anxious, and she was extremely reluctant to let her two sons, who were only thirteen years old, leave her.
