Chapter 129: Private Meeting
After the noble lady was choked by Hardy, the middle-aged lord no longer wanted to speak.
He didn't even say he would send troops or donate money.
Although Mrs. Sissi didn't say anything at the scene, she remembered the incident in her heart.
In the future, this lord will be ostracized by the Jeanna family. As for which family he will fall into, Mrs. Sissi doesn't care.
Soon, the data statistics were completed.
After Mrs. Sissi looked at the number on it for a while, she handed it to Hardy and asked, "What do you think?"
She thought there was nothing wrong with asking Hardy, but in the eyes of other lords, But there is a big problem.
At this time, the expressions of the dozen or so lords present varied.
Some are solemn, thoughtful, and some smile obscenely.
Everyone has a slightly different view of this action.
Hardy took the paper, read it for a while, combined it with his experience before rebirth, shook his head slightly and said: "There are too many militiamen, not enough elite soldiers, and insufficient logistics resources." The
expressions of the lords present changed again.
Hardy handed the paper to the lord next to him and said, "Please take a look at it and pass it on."
Soon the paper was turned around in everyone's hands, and finally returned to Madam Sissi's hand.
She shook her head helplessly: "I also agree with Hardy's view. There are too many militiamen, and there are too few funds available for logistics."
After that, she put down the paper and looked at the surrounding lords.
Many of these lords pretended that nothing happened and did not look at her.
Only a few were listening to her.
At this point, the situation has become very clear. A large number of people just want to 'take advantage' of their military exploits and take advantage of the spoils afterwards.
They didn't feel sad even after the militiamen were sent over. They could just help their territory and reduce the population pressure.
"We don't need too many militiamen." Mrs. Sissi sighed and said, "We have to travel long distances to fight in foreign countries. A small number of militiamen can be used as logistics troops, but now the number of militiamen accounts for more than 60%. We are How do you gain an advantage on a frontal battlefield?"
"With the black knight leading them, that's enough." The lord who had been unhappy with Hardy before laughed and said, "Isn't there a proverb that says a sheep led by a lion is stronger than a sheep? The leading lion."
Everyone's eyes fell on Hardy.
Hardy smiled lightly and said: "A miser who is neither willing to send troops nor provide money has no right to speak."
Everyone laughed, including Madam Sissi, who turned her head and covered her mouth.
"You!" The man slammed the table: "It seems I'm not welcome here anymore."
He glared at Mrs. Sissi, trying to put some pressure on her.
Under this pressure, Madam Sissi not only did not feel timid, but instead made a "please" gesture.
In the past two hundred years or so, Jeanne's family has always given people a relatively "soft" feeling.
Many times, even if the Jeanna family is wronged secretly, nothing will happen to them.
Therefore, many people feel that the Jeanne family is easy to bully, and as long as they are forced, they will retreat.
But this time, Mrs. Sissi did not retreat. Instead, she forcefully asked people to leave the venue.
This says a lot.
The lord who stood up suddenly felt very embarrassed. No one around him agreed with him, and even looked at him strangely.
His face turned red with anger, he snorted, turned around and left.
After the man left the main hall, Mrs. Sissi said: "Although our Rangna family is not as strong as our ancestors, we can't bully anyone. Butler, please inform all the chambers of commerce and industry in the family. Do you understand all business dealings with that lord?"
The old butler nodded and quickly left the main hall.
If Mrs. Sissi's invitation to leave just now made the remaining lords feel that something was wrong, then now that she has begun to use economic suppression methods, the significance goes one step further.
The Jeanne family began to slowly regain its former honor.
At that moment, a lord suggested: "Ms. Sissi, we can re-discuss the issue of sending troops."
Everyone agreed.
After hearing this, Mrs. Sissi said with satisfaction: "Very good, I mean that too."
Then the statistics this time were much more normal.
Then Mrs. Sissi still showed the statistical results to Hardy first. After watching for a while, Hardy nodded: "There is no problem. Except for more funds, the other proportions are quite normal."
Mrs. Sissi trusted Hardy quite a bit and said after hearing this: "Then it's settled. Jeanne You all have a share in the glory of the family. When we triumph from the Ajiaka Empire, everyone will be able to get what they want." After
hearing this, all the lords applauded.
They believe in the credibility of Jeanna's family.
After the meeting ended, many people wanted to chat with Hardy, but Mrs. Sissi was already chatting with Hardy.
Those lords had no choice but to give up and look for opportunities next time.
After the lords all left, Mrs. Sissi smiled and said, "Tomorrow you will accompany me to the royal meeting and help me figure things out when things happen."
"That's no problem." Hardy nodded.
Then he was ready to leave.
At this time, Mrs. Sissi said: "There is someone waiting for you in the third guest room on the third floor. You should go and meet him."
Hardy was a little confused, but he still followed the instructions and went up to the third floor and knocked on the door of the guest room. .
"Come in."
Hardy pushed the door open and found a woman wearing a purple magic robe sitting inside reading a book. Who else was there except Mrs. Patience.
"Madam, did you invite me?" Hardy walked over.
Patience put away the books in her hands and looked up at the boy: "I have no choice. The men in my family are too jealous, so I can only use this method to see you." "There is
nothing wrong between us, why use this method?" It's better to meet openly."
Patience smiled bitterly: "But my man doesn't think so. Although I don't like him very much now, I have to take into account the feelings of my two sons. If he knew that I met you, he would probably It's going to cause uproar all over the city. My two sons will probably be unhappy too."
Okay.
Hardy found a chair and sat down, and asked the beautiful female magician: "Ms. Patience, what's the matter with you, why do you have to see me?"
At this point, Patience felt a little embarrassed. After hesitating for a while, he said: "My research funds have been used up. Can you invest a little more."
"The hundred gold coins I gave you last time were used up so quickly?"
Patience looked a little embarrassed: "It was used. Magic materials are quite expensive."
Hardy began to frown.
He knew that investing was a bottomless pit, and sometimes there would be no return for several years, or even more than ten years.
If things were normal, Hardy would definitely continue to invest more.
But now Hukaro City is just on the right track, and the initial expenses were too high, resulting in Hukaro City not having much liquidity.
He thought for a while and said: "I can also provide you with a hundred gold coins. I will take this token and find an old butler named Jack to ask for it. But in the next year or so, I will not be able to invest any more. , unless you are willing to take my token and go all the way to my hometown in Hexi County to withdraw the money."
"Do you still have money in Hexi County?"
"A little!"
Not a little, but a lot!
There are many in the secret room.
But on the open account book, it is estimated that there are only more than 300 gold coins.
"Thank you." Patience stood up, her expression was very strange: "I owe you a big favor." "
Don't worry, there will be a chance to repay." Hardy smiled brightly.
What Hardy means is that as long as you make the magic potion, I can get a big reward.
But women... their minds always like to think wildly, and she suddenly felt that there seemed to be something in Hardy's words.
But on the surface, it didn't look like him, which made her very confused.
I even started to think about whether I should continue to ask Hardy for investment in the future.
"By the way, do you still want to study the Nightmare Knight?" Hardy asked suddenly.
"Yes!" Patience's eyes quickly brightened.
She likes the Nightmare Knight the most.
