Chapter 715

After being promoted to legend, there was a problem between victor and Nicole, as well as three close maids. This is mainly because Victor's life level has changed qualitatively, and his observation has reached an unimaginable level, resulting in his spiritual perspective and mortal at a completely different level.

The great Lord's indoor maids are one in a hundred beautiful girls. Their facial features, figure, skin, body fragrance and voice have strict selection criteria, and they also need to receive professional training from the family. These housemaids were the Lord's harem before they got married and allowed the Lord to take whatever he wanted, but Victor was not interested in the housemaids in silver moon manor.

The silver moon maids in the eyes of ordinary people are charming, but their skin defects, sweat smell covered by body fragrance and other subtle defects have been magnified several times in front of Randall's extraordinary perception. Coupled with Victor's ultra-long perception distance, no one can bring him emotional surprises except Sylvia.

Fortunately, Victor has x-3, which can independently dilute and correct perceived defects, but that kind of beautification is only for a very few people, such as Lilia and Elena sisters.

On the other hand, as a top legendary creature, Victor's appearance does not exist. His beauty is like the sun in the sky. His extraordinary charm makes ordinary people only fear and dare not blaspheme.

Nicole's situation is good. After all, she is a senior knight and can step into the extraordinary field at any time. Lilia and Elena sisters can't do it. The most obvious change is Alice. She is lively. She used to like to stick to victor, but she is gradually silent in the face of the count of golden eyes.

Not seen in three years, when Victor came back, he was the rage wind sword saint who killed the legendary orcs. Although he deliberately maintained the state of the soul of water mist, it was difficult to hide the inviolability of the strong in the holy land. Lilia, oppressed by Victor's mind, almost instinctively diverted their attention and wanted to eliminate each other's strangeness in other ways.

It's like a beloved husband returning from an expedition, but he has become a dragon that can blow himself to death with one breath. Any woman needs a process of adaptation in the face of this change in order to know each other again.

Counting gold coins together is a good way. They and Victor have experienced the most difficult entrepreneurial period of the family, and each copper sol in their pocket can't wait to break into several. The fact is that the exchange of copper sol for ten copper points came from Victor's idea. Now, Victor brings back millions of gold coins. Nicole and Lilia, as the wives of Randall family, are certainly proud and happy, which also reminds victor of their good memories.

In fact, Victor and Nicole, Lilia and Elena sisters have a deep emotional foundation and cherish each other very much. In the next few days, his highness Randall only asked about family affairs and only focused on accompanying Nicole and three close maids. They counted gold coins, toured mountains and rivers, hunted and camped together, and gradually found the feeling of intimacy.

Five days later in the afternoon, Nicole put a family budget on Victor's desk and officially talked about family affairs.

"Honey, you're kidding... You must be kidding." Victor exaggerated and smiled the fur paper in his hand. He make complaints about it half way out: "there is no detailed plan on it, and I want 550 million gold Saul."

"Where's Lilia? It's outrageous that the family budget is like this... I'll find her!" Victor put down the sheepskin scroll and shouted that he was going to run away.

Nicole bypassed the desk, sat in Victor's arms, put her hands around his neck, smiled and said, "honey, time is in a hurry. This family budget doesn't list the details, but I can tell you first, okay?"

The weather outside is very cold. The fireplace in the study doesn't light firewood. Nicole has loose hair and only wears a light spider silk nightdress, revealing a pair of long snow-white legs with beautiful lines.

It's rare for Nicole to take the initiative to show her feminine charm. Victor naturally encouraged her, held her and joked: "I'm listening. If your reason can't satisfy me, I'll accept my punishment."

"... I'm not afraid of you." Nicole blushed, narrowed her eyes and said, "the Randall family responded to the red smoke and sent 700 cavalry and 240 fast birds to ride the expedition Sidon centaur. Among the Lords of the Centaur hills and even the whole Gambis Kingdom, our losses were the greatest, a total of 588 people were killed and 67 were seriously injured and disabled. These brave and loyal soldiers need compensation..."

Before the expedition, Victor was ready to replace all the alchemists led by Randall. The elite soldiers of Randall family were only 284 vassal soldiers, and the rest were all alchemical militia and alchemical auxiliary soldiers drawn from the mercenary Corps. Alchemists are not afraid of death and die the fastest. In fact, only 61 of Randall's vassal cavalry were lost, and Victor had to be promoted and reused for those who survived the baptism of the war. As for the alchemists, they don't need a pension. Even their usual bounty and salary are handed over to the alchemy tower.

"Pension... I'll give you three times the pension. It's not much money." Said Victor lightly.

Nicole nibbled her red lips and said: "In addition, mercenaries in the man horse hill take turns to guard the ghost forest development points to ensure that the road for refugees to move south is smooth. Our Randall family sends 1500 troops every time, and they also suffer casualties against grassland jackals and forest jackals. So far, 74 people have been killed by Randall's first and second legions, 33 have been seriously injured and disabled, and more than 200 have been slightly injured... According to the army According to the regulations of the regiment, we should not only compensate the casualties of the hired soldiers, but also pay meritorious rewards and double commissions for the soldiers who go to war. This is equivalent to that we have hired 1500 additional soldiers... "

"Well, the annual Commission of mercenaries is 6 gold coins, and an increase of 1500 people means an increase of 9000 gold sols... I can't afford to spend 6 million gold sols like this, and it will be spent in less than 667... Therefore, King Friedrich and I have made a deal. Before the end of the wind season next year, the army of Dodo kingdom will take over the ghost forest development site, and all the mercenaries in the man horse hills will withdraw 。” Victor teased.

"I don't mean that. I haven't finished yet..." Nicole was angry and opened her mouth to bite Victor's ear. She was immediately suppressed.

After a while, she continued: "the kingdom is ready to launch a new round of Fishman war. I plan to expand the mercenary corps of Randall family, from 6000 of the two legions to 9000 of the three legions, plus three Ranger reserves and 600 fast bird elite riders."

After listening, Victor said with a smile: "Money alone is not enough for the expansion of the army. We should consider the source of troops, training, armaments, loyalty education and commission. Take the Rangers as an example, I position them as the elite of the family. Referring to the standard of level II blood soldiers, their physical quality is three times that of ordinary people, and their combat effectiveness should be comparable to that of ordinary secret law soldiers or junior trainee knights. Are you sure of the bottom of Randall family "Yunneng meets the expansion needs?"

Nicole gave a well, nodded and said: "Randall's permanent population has reached 440000, mainly tenants. There are more than 90000 young men and women. The expansion of a 3000 strong mercenary Corps will not affect the operation of the territory. Moreover, we have recently resettled more than 27000 Sassanian refugees, 10000 young men and women and more than 6000 elderly people over the age of 50, but most of them have skills, and the rest are minor children. These refugees As long as you become a tenant, you can act as Randall's labor force. "

In order to avoid the war, the refugees of the Sassanian Empire migrated to the kingdom of Gambis. Obviously, these refugees do not have the spirit of pioneering and adventurous, and it is impossible for the mercenary corps to recruit Sassanian refugees. However, their ability to walk from the distant Sassanian Empire to the southernmost part of the man horse hills shows that they are in good health. Even the elderly over 50 can withstand half a strong labor force, which is suitable for filling the land The low-level labor led by you liberated some tenant farmers and increased the number of craftsmen and hired soldiers.

Although the adults among the refugees are useless, it is still worth looking forward to their children receiving the general education of the Randall family.

On the issue of absorbing the refugee population, it is not that whoever is famous will get more people. This depends on the resettlement ability of the territory and tests the governance level of the family. Randall's ability to get 27000 Sasan refugees shows that the Randall family has no pressure to absorb so many people, and Victor is quite satisfied with Nicole's performance.

"Randall led the establishment of two squire training camps and recruited 443 trainee squires from the graduates of the first phase of the Legion school. I expect that in five years, half of the trainee squires can reach the level of level 2 blood soldiers and can be incorporated into Rangers... More than 200 rangers are certainly not enough. Therefore, I plan to expand four more squire training camps. Even if the trainee squires have only half the qualification rate, we can It can also train 600 elite blood soldiers every year. " Nicole said with a smile and longing.

Level 2 blood soldiers are not lettuce in the field. They can grow by watering and fertilizing. Half of the qualified rate of the squire training camp is only the most ideal situation. Victor is very happy that one in ten graduates from the Legion school can enter the squire training camp, and finally one in four people can meet the standard of blood soldiers. Moreover, the larger the base number of trainee squires, the higher the qualified rate The lower the training cost, the higher the training cost. Nicole's idea is simply unrealistic.

Victor couldn't help saying, "I remember most tenant families didn't want their children to enter Legion schools for martial arts training."

"I want to revise the recruitment method of the Legion school. The family will bear more than half of the expenses of the young students. Those who perform well can also get a reward, and even directly persuade them to adopt. In short, we should try our best to encourage the tenant's children to join the Legion School... It needs a lot of money." Nicole said excitedly: "In addition, we can use rock bricks now. Pinghu Town will be expanded into the main city of the territory, building the main fortress, the outer city wall and two auxiliary fortresses; all the sentries and camps in the territory will be rebuilt; when the administrative village is upgraded to a town, we also need to build rock brick barracks and retaining walls... Oh, by the way, I have seen the drawings of the candlestick fortress in the hill camp. The candlestick fortress you designed yourself It's magnificent. It's a fortress city... I plan to start construction next year and expect to be completed in 15 years. "

"Honey, it costs a lot of money." Nicole smiled gently, and her bright eyes hidden a little pride.

Victor's deep and charming black eyes turned into magical dark gold and said plainly: "You may lack a clear concept of 6 million gold sols... The private coinage of the Neville royal family does not count. No royal family in the human kingdom can take out 6 million gold sols at one time, but the fortress and Castle they built are converted into gold coins far more than 6 million... Let's say, the budget you gave me will be calculated in 15 years, but I don't mention any annual revenue. If you consider the family's financial balance, even if I don't have the 6 million gold sol, your goals, including the construction of candle Castle fortress, can be completed in ten years. "

"Honey, where is the budget? You have to get all the 6 million gold sols to be satisfied..."

Nicole dropped her head, remained silent for a moment, and said truthfully, "I'm afraid you'll spend all this money on the man and horse hills instead of the Randall family."

Victor smiled and nodded, "I'm afraid I'm partial to Sylvia, so ask me for more first?"

"You will live with your wife in the future. Can you care for us?" Nicole pursed her red lips and said sour.

Nicole is probably the only senior female knight who dares to compete with Sylvia face to face. Thanks to her background in Rose Manor, she is Sylvia's lineage. Now she is careful to guard against her former mistress for the Randall family, just like Victor before.

There is always a place for Nicole in the softest place in Victor's heart. He stroked his lover's hair and said softly: "the red frost manor is not far from here. I can come back with you at any time. I promise to live in the silver moon manor for five days every month..."

Nicole looked up at her lover's dark golden eyes and whispered, "I don't believe... Madam is the companion of the angry wind sword saint."

Victor touched his nose and said with a bitter smile, "I have no confidence in me... Well, I promise to accompany you for at least 5 days a month. If I am delayed by something, the number of days to accompany Nicole baby will be postponed to next month."

"Two days for one less day." Nicole wrinkled her nose, put her arms around Victor's neck and said childishly.

"OK, I promise you." Victor nodded and said, "now that I have brought back the gold, I will not carry it away. Although studying the secret method of soul and blood is more expensive than buying a giant dragon, there is no shortage of money now. 6 million gold sols are stored in the Randall family Treasury... However, I only leave you 2 million gold coins, and I have other plans for the other 4 million..."

"Only 2 million? Can you leave 3 million to the family?" Nicole asked reluctantly.

Victor shook his head and said: "Don't underestimate 2 million gold sols... Within two or three years, the purchasing power of gold sols may double that of now. 2 million is equivalent to 4 million or even more. Of course, the value of gold sols, silver sols and copper sols will soon fall again... There are rules, risks and opportunities. 2 million gold sols can be arranged whatever you want. I just ask, even if you lose all of them, it's not enough It doesn't matter. It's just a ruling test for you... Anyway, the rise of our Randall family is unstoppable. "

"Well, honey, I listen to you." Nicole leaned against Victor's chest and said contentedly.

There are 260000 gold sols in the treasure house of Pinghu Town, which is an unimaginable wealth for a Earl family with a history of only 12 years. Looking at the whole human country, I'm afraid there is no lord who can take out 2 million gold coins and let his wife handle it at his own discretion. Besides, Victor has more than one wife, and Sylvia is a gorgeous main lady.

Nicole has been with Victor for so many years and has been influenced by him from time to time. She is in the transformation period of the alternation of the old and the new concept of wealth. She knows a lot of things, but she is secretly determined not to let her lover disappointed in herself.

Victor patted Nicole's slender hand and said, "well, you go and call Todd for me. I have something to tell agent mercury."

Nicole kissed Victor on the lips, left his arms and walked out the door.

When Nicole's light footsteps disappeared in the dressing room on the third floor, Victor's face showed a complex look of relief, loss and reflection. He sighed in his heart and said in a voice that only he could hear: "... Even Lilia 'defected' to take refuge in Nicole... I lost my power in Randall?"
