Chapter 109

"How much, how much?" steward York stammered, saying to himself, I must have heard wrong!

Allen stretched out three fingers again: "300000, 300000 gold coins."

Allen repeated it twice in a row. Butler York finally determined that he had heard right. Allen said 300000!

"Lord Allen, are you kidding?" Butler York asked with a dark face. "All the working capital of our city Lord's house doesn't add up to 300000!"

Of course, the working capital of the city Lord's residence is 300000. The farwin family of Benedict's city master has operated nice city for many years and has accumulated huge wealth. Not to mention 300000 gold coins, the city master's house can get one million gold coins.

But if you subsidize huaxialing for free, let alone 300000 gold coins, the city master's house will not be willing to pay 100000 gold coins.

It's Alan. It's too big a lion!

In fact, Allen didn't really want so much when he said 300000. Unless the city Lord's house is a fool, he won't agree.

As long as the city Lord's house can pay him 50000 gold coins, Alan will be satisfied and shout 300000 gold coins. It's just asking a sky high price.

Here, Allen uses the word "reward". In his opinion, this is the reward given by the city Lord's house, not the handout received by China.

"How much can the city Lord's mansion give?" Allen asked.

Butler York stretched out two fingers: "twenty thousand gold coins."

Alan looked straight at Butler York and didn't speak.

"Thirty thousand!" said Butler York. "Thirty thousand gold coins, no more."

"I remember when I captured Constance Town, I found 30000 gold coins in the Treasury of Constance town. Unfortunately, it's a drop in the bucket!"

Allen said to himself.

"Fifty thousand, how about fifty thousand?" Butler York raised the price again.

Finally, after a lot of words, York housekeeper finally agreed to pay Huaxia collar 80000 gold coins in exchange for Huaxia collar's full force to attack the blue shirt army!

The 80000 gold coins were promised by Butler York to be delivered to Huaxia within three days.

After sending off the York housekeeper, Alan smiled. A housekeeper of the city Lord's house can be the master of 80000 gold coins. It seems that the city Lord's house is far richer than he thought!

With these 80000 gold coins, I can buy a large number of soldiers again!

However, the requirements of the territory for troops are not very strong. Allen decided to keep the 80000 gold coins first. If it is necessary to buy soldiers later, he will use them to buy soldiers. If you don't need to buy soldiers, you can directly save enough 100000 gold coins to open the second auxiliary element.

Since he promised to send troops to the city Lord's house, Alan naturally wouldn't break his promise. He immediately sent someone to inform Galen and others who were outside the leading army, and asked them to start assembling troops in Kribi town and be ready to cooperate with the city Lord's house at any time.

After Butler York left, Allen didn't return to the construction site, but picked up the code Arthur gave himself and read it carefully.

Alan frowned as he read. This code is written in great detail and involves almost all aspects of the territory. It can be seen that Arthur has indeed made a lot of efforts.

But there is one point in the code that Allen can't agree with at all.

Alan closed the code and rubbed his forehead. It seems that Arthur will have to discuss it with him when he comes back.

Three days later, the city Lord's house sent 80000 gold coins to Allen and brought a message. On the 23rd of this month, all major forces including the city Lord's house sent troops to attack the blue shirt army at the same time!

Today is the 18th. There are only five days left for the major forces to prepare for war. It can be seen how urgent it is for the city Lord's residence to eliminate the blue shirt army.

It can be seen that the city Lord's residence has really reached the point where it can't bear the blue shirt army!

Alan wrote back to the city Lord's house and promised to send troops on time!

After the messenger of the city Lord's house left, the bodyguard reported that Arthur returned to Huaxia town with his teacher Abner.

Allen is still curious about Arthur's teacher Abner. He would like to see what kind of talent can teach Arthur such an excellent student and make Arthur respect him so much.

Allen could see that Arthur's respect for his teacher was absolutely from his heart, from his heart, without any falsehood.

In the Lord's house, Allen met Arthur's teacher, Abner.

In Allen's eyes, Abner is an old man with no amazing appearance. He doesn't have the eye-catching temperament like Arthur. He looks like an ordinary old farmer.

However, compared with the ordinary peasant old man, Abner was more indifferent to honor and disgrace.

"Abner, I've seen your Lord." Abner nodded to Alan.

Alan laughed: "Mr. Abner, you've worked hard all the way. Arthur, help Mr. Abner sit down."

Abner waved his hand and stopped Arthur who was going to help himself: "I'll do it myself. Old man, I'm not so fragile. I have to be helped when I sit down."

The three sat down. Alan and Abner chatted a few words and began to invite each other.

"Mr. Abner, if you can teach such an excellent student, you must be a great talent. Would you like to take a post in China?"

Allen said that there are too few top talents in China now. Although I don't know what Abner's ability is, I don't think it's too bad that he is Mr. Arthur.

Abner shook his head: "thank you for your kindness, Lord, but I'm old and don't have so much energy to take care of these chores."

"That's a pity," Ellen said with regret, but without much persuasion.

Allen knows that the more talented people are, the more assertive they are. Once they refuse for the first time, there will be no other results.

However, Allen did not give up. As long as Abner lived in Huaxia Town, he had plenty of opportunities to convince him in the future.

After a few more words, Abner got up and left on the grounds of tiredness.

"Arthur, I have prepared a residence for you and Mr. Abner. Take Mr. Abner to settle down and come back to the Lord's house to see me," Allen said.

More than an hour later, Arthur returned to the Lord's house.

"Are you all settled?" asked Allen.

"Settle down," Arthur replied.

After taking his teacher Abner to the residence arranged by Allen for them, he found that Allen had already prepared all the things needed to be prepared in the residence, and even sent a maid and a male servant to take care of their daily life, which filled Arthur's heart with excitement for Allen.

"That's good," Allen said. "I've read your code. There's a problem I must point out."

"Lord, please correct me," said Arthur.

Allen took out the code Arthur gave himself, opened a few pages and said, "the biggest problem is that the sentence is too heavy!"

"Like this one," Allen said, pointing to one in the code, "the thief, cut off his hands and drive out of the territory!"

"Is this punishment too heavy?"

Allen pointed out that it is only one of them. In Arthur's code, there is almost zero tolerance for criminals, and the punishment for almost every crime is extremely severe.

"Lord," Arthur said seriously, "Arthur believes that if people want to strictly abide by the law, they must use heavy codes. The heavier the punishment, the heavier the position of the law in people's hearts. If the punishment is slight, the law will become worthless in people's eyes, whether it is necessary or not."

"Just like the current Kingdom law, how many people will really abide by other laws unless they touch on the law of noble interests?"

"The reason for this result is that in the Kingdom law, only crimes that touch the interests of the nobility will be severely punished, and the punishment of other crimes is not painful, so no one will abide by it."

Alan shook his head and asked, "Arthur, what do you think the purpose of punishment is?"
