Chapter 149： andrew

"Baron Abbott, these 'cans' are indeed what the Royal Army needs."

Baron William's complexion is much better than when we first met.

"So, how are they made?"

This kind of thing is naturally best in your own hands.

Hansel put on a sorry expression.

"Unfortunately, Lord Viscount, I don't know how the canned food is made. The inventor and maker of the canned food is Earl Paul Greyman of Arda in the Northwest Gulf. He just entrusted me as the royal commissioner to report Team Wang promotes this processed food, but doesn't say a word about how to make it."

Viscount William shook his head again and again: "This is really a pity, a pity, the Earl should directly dedicate the production method to the royal family. The current local lord, where is the loyalty to His Majesty the King? Have they all forgotten the oath their ancestors swore to Rodney I?"

In fact, what really makes the Viscount regret is that the other party is a feudal nobleman and an earl, so it is not easy to use strong means to get the canning method, especially in the sensitive period when the lord's rebellion occurred in southern Xinjiang.

Hansel secretly slandered: The original oath didn't say what the royal family liked, and the lords had to hand in what they wanted obediently.

Baron William said again: "Baron Abbott, please tell Earl Greiman that if he can contribute the method of making canned food, His Majesty the King will definitely reward him heavily."

"I will definitely tell Lord Greyman."

Hansel agreed, but thought in his heart: When will a quartermaster make decisions for His Majesty the King? Besides, what is the use of such empty promises?

"So? Wang**'s team is interested in this kind of army?"

"Interested? Of course."

The Viscount rolled his eyes.

"But I don't know how much canned food is produced? You know, once the military decides to purchase, it will definitely not be a small amount."

Hansel said a little nervously: "Uh... To tell you the truth, the current output of canned food is still relatively small. However, please don't worry, Lord Gleiman is building up the canning factory in his territory, and it will be next year at the latest In February, we will be able to supply the Wang** team on a large scale, continuously and stably."

I hope that the group of merchants launched by Graiman will work harder, Hansel secretly prayed.

Viscount William touched his chin for a while and said, "Then talk about long-term purchases after he can produce in large quantities. However, you can provide us with a small amount of cans first, so that people in the army can taste it first."

Hansel stood up and bowed to him.

"Thank you, Lord Viscount. I will send you another small batch of canned food. When I return to the Northwest, I must give them priority in producing and delivering goods to the capital. Earl Greyman is still very loyal to His Majesty the King. The first time I came back was to deliver a batch of food for the Earl to His Majesty the King. If the Royal Army can buy a large amount of canned food, the Earl will definitely provide a very low wholesale price."

Viscount William nodded: "Hmph! I hope so. But I want to tell you one thing first."

"Master Viscount, please clarify."

Viscount William thought about it, and said slowly: "I am only responsible for the military supplies of the troops under the command of the princess. The supplies of the troops under the other generals are all handled by themselves. How to make them accept canned food is up to you."

Hansel wrote down this sentence, "Thank you for your reminder, Lord Viscount."

…

After bidding farewell from Viscount William's mansion, Hansel went straight home.

As soon as he entered the house, a servant reported to him: "A guest who claimed to be Baron Andrew came to visit you. I told him that you were out today and asked him to come back another day, but he insisted on waiting for you to come back."

"Earl Andrew? I don't seem to know such a person."

"The accent should be from the northwest area. We think it may have something to do with you, so let him wait for you in the living room."

"Take me to meet this Baron Andrew."

Hansel suddenly thought of Baron Andrew, a vassal of the Earl of Bairding in the Northwest Gulf.

According to Earl Mellon Garnard, Baron Andrew should be the only vassal who did not participate in the rebellion. Viscount Angelo and others recommended him to lead the troops directly under the Garnard family to the south to participate in the royal family's counter-insurgency war under the pretext of King Qin, and Taking this as a reason, he led the private soldiers of various families to control Butuya, the capital of Bairdin.

Before and after Paul led the army to crush Bairding's rebellion, Baron Andrew never led his troops back.

Before, it was because his lord, Myron Gardner, "issued" an order to him: to assist the royal family to quell the rebellion before returning. However, from the current situation, the quelling of the rebellion is still far away. Moreover, according to the correspondence, it was learned that Baron Andrew had performed well and was entrusted with important tasks by Her Royal Highness the Princess. Therefore, after the fire incident in the Granary of the Royal Capital, Bairding's army was not sent home like most of the Qin King's army.

Afterwards, Myron recovered his free body, and everyone in Arda was worried that there would be some twists and turns after Baron Andrew led his troops back, so they asked Myron to write to him personally, in addition to telling him that Angelo and others had launched a rebellion but had been arrested. In addition to calming down, he also reiterated the previous order to help the royal family put down the rebellion before returning. In order to appease Andrew, he asked his family to write a letter and send it together. In short, there was a little trouble at home, but it has been resolved. You can fight on the front line with peace of mind, and show your loyalty to His Majesty the King on behalf of Bairdin.

In this way, Baron Andrew and his Beilding army remained in the south.

Hansel came to the living room, and saw Baron Andrew who had been waiting for him—a sturdy man with a resolute expression and an imposing appearance.

Hansel first introduced himself: "I am Hansel Abbott, what can Baron Andrew want from me?"

Baron Andrew immediately stood up and greeted him: "It's an honor to meet you Baron Abbott, I heard that you are the royal commissioner who was stationed in Arda next door to us?"

Hansel asked him to sit down again, and sat opposite Andrew himself, nodded and confirmed: "Exactly, I'm here for business this time, and I'm going back to the Northwest Bay soon."

Baron Andrew showed emotion: "It is really rare to see someone as loyal to his duty as Baron Abbott. After the royal commissioner who was stationed in our Bilding just found a reason to return to Jingyao, he disappeared. I heard that This phenomenon is not alone.”

Hansel complained in his heart: "The lords from all over the world wish to stare at their commissioners all day to get out early. Isn't this fulfilling their wishes?"

I only heard Andrew continue to say: "I have already learned about the rebellion of Angelo and others from the letter Mr. Ganard gave me. Oath, what a knight's disgrace."

"Fortunately, Earl Greyman dispatched troops in time to wipe out the gang of traitors. Lord Ganard really did not make this ally brother in vain. I ask Baron Abbott to convey his thanks for me when he returns."

Hansel smiled and nodded in agreement: "Haha, it's easy to say, I will definitely convey your meaning to Lord Greiman."

The two continued to talk for a long time, and Hansel judged from the other party's words:

He really didn't know about the conspiracy of An Qiluo and others;

The Baron is a constant knight and a bit...naive politically.

In a way, such a person is quite lovely.

The two talked happily, and finally, Hansel agreed to do each other a small favor—to bring a large pile of letters back to the Northwest Gulf, most of which were written by the soldiers of Belding.
