Chapter four hundred and eighty sixth family mobilization
Chapter 486: Family Mobilization
In the spring of March, the swallows dance and the orioles sing.
Before you know it, the best time of spring has arrived.
Naider City is now a land of flowers and willows. The breeze blowing from the ocean not far away is warm and warm. The weather is neither cold nor hot, warm and comfortable.
In this season of spring for all things...well, in this season of revival of all things, people have put aside their thick winter clothes and put on light and comfortable clothes.
The young girls lost no time in putting on the most gorgeous long dresses and walking on the bustling streets of Nadel, showing off their beauty and beauty. The young men whistled.
The leaden gray gloomy clouds in winter have all disappeared without a trace.
The sky is as blue as a wash, just like the eyes of a pregnant girl looking into her lover's eyes, full of love.
Only occasionally a light rain will fall.
But the light rain was extremely fine, like a fine needle of cow hair, and when it was scraped on the face, it was like a girl's soft skin, caressing it gently, and there was no chill at all.
The drizzle didn't even wet the thin clothes and disappeared.
Standing on the top of the tallest tower in the Governor's Palace and looking out, you can see that the entire land within your sight is emerald green, and the color is so thick that it seems like it can drip juice.
In less than a year since Lorraine came to power, Nadel City has become more prosperous than ever.
There is a constant flow of ships entering and leaving the port of Nadel every day. The cargo hold on the dock is full of goods that have just been shipped in and are about to be shipped out. The noise in the exchange can disturb the peace of the entire port.
Since the huge amount of imported and exported goods far exceeds the current throughput of the port, the port expansion project has been put on the agenda early.
More street-facing houses in the city have been converted into shops, and pedestrians on the street are crowded shoulder to shoulder. If a carriage squeezes in, pedestrians will soon complain.
Even many road sections will be congested for a period of time during peak hours.
This gives many people a headache, but Lord Lorraine is very proud of it.
From his perspective as a time traveler, he doesn't think this is a bad thing. After all, in his place, it depends on whether a city is big enough and prosperous enough.
The most obvious criterion is whether the traffic jam is severe~!
Traffic jams fully reflect the characteristics of a big city.
The traffic jam is not severe. This is definitely a third-rate small city. If the traffic jam lasts from 5 a.m. to 5 p.m. and still does not allow cars from outside the city to enter the fifth ring road, then it goes without saying that this is an international metropolis.
.
Although everyone is worried about traffic jams, Naidel's official happiness index has been rising continuously for a whole year, and is now as high as 99.999%. As for
The remaining 0.001% cannot be counted because no one has been found.
Although the people of Nai'an sneer at this figure from the government propaganda agency, they think it is all a joke to the people.
But even the beggars on the streets admit that everyone's life is much better than before.
Everyone's wages have increased, but the prices of basic living supplies, such as grain and salt, have dropped.
In Lorraine's words, if this still doesn't satisfy these people, then Lorraine will really call them unruly people.
You know, in her last life, Lorraine lived without a salary for three years, and prices doubled in two years for several years. Apart from rent and food, she had not a penny left at the end of the month. Let alone getting sick.
, I don’t even dare to sneeze.
Otherwise, if you spend an extra piece of paper, you will have to borrow money at the end of the month to live on.
Just living like this, there are still beasts howling and barking in my ears.
As for what happened next, it was because Lord Lorraine was unlucky and stopped playing with them. After coming here, I don’t know the situation there, but I guess those otakus won’t have it much easier.
.
But it is a pity that he made Naian so prosperous, but the people of Naian never said a good word about him.
Those ungrateful Naian scoundrels attribute all of this to the kindness of Her Royal Highness the Princess, or the mercy of Miss Adele, or the business acumen of His Highness Leo, or the benevolence of Bishop Hilmeria.
Virtue, even a gift from God the Father... and so on and so forth, but in the final analysis, in a word, there is nothing wrong with Lord Lorraine.
This has to be said to be a very strange phenomenon, but the reason is also very simple.
Although Lord Lorraine is the white jade pillar of the empire, the purple golden beam that holds the sea, he is known as the "Flying Eagle God of War". He is invincible in battles and invincible. He is the number one double-flowered red stick in the world and a super-powerful thug. Anyone can mention it.
, you have to give a thumbs up and praise him, he is a real hero.
However, no matter how much praise you give, you can't hide the fact.
His old man's reputation has long been ruined.
During the battle to defend Maple Leaf Danlin, Almohad's court magician tortured prisoners of war, went hungry and went crazy, and asked people to mine coal for him.
Later, when he attacked the Almohad Empire, the sky was three feet high and the earth was seven thin. All the Almohad nobles he captured were reduced to paupers.
Even now, there are still many people who have to live on drinking cold porridge.
There are even rumors that even Her Majesty the Queen has to make a living by pawning her personal belongings.
And what about Lord Luo?
He transported thirty battleships alone as trophies, and the urinals he used were all made of pure gold. This shows how ruthless his methods were.
Later, when he became the governor of Nai'an, the first thing he did when he took office was to ransack the houses of several big families and exterminate them. Although those guys deserved their punishment, he did it too ruthlessly. He chopped off the heads of all those guys without leaving any one behind.
.
The man killed him, and the blood was flowing and the heads were rolling.
And later, during the Orc War, they even killed more people without thinking.
While making him famous, he also struck fear into people's hearts.
A high-level gangster like this who goes around killing people, setting fires, and robbing money and things, you just advertise every day that he is kind-hearted, helping the old lady cross the road every day, and giving out candies to the children. Everyone will also wonder if he is practicing Huashan Mountain.
The Gentleman's Sword is not a group of heroes. There is some ulterior conspiracy and evil intention behind it.
What's more, this man is still engaged in spy politics behind the scenes. He has established a series of secret service agencies such as the FBI, CIA, KGB, Gestapo... etc. to monitor the people and defend them.
Yu Fangchuan.
It is said that that group of terrifying men in black are pervasive. It is what the couple whispered in bed last night, and it will be placed in front of the Governor of Lorraine before morning tea time the next day.
If Lord Lorraine knew that the common people understood him in this way, he would definitely be dumbfounded. The reason is simple. Although those institutions are powerful, they have not yet reached that level.
What's more, those people are not Sora Aoi, Ran Muto, Meili Takaki, Maria Ozawa, Ai Iijima, Kaede Matsushima... and a series of other people with both virtues and talents, and Lord Lorraine has never had them.
I have heard of, but never seen, great artists who have made selfless contributions to the cause of human reproduction.
No matter how boring Lord Lorraine is, he will not care about their affairs. If he has that time, he will do what he loves with the beauties around him.
However, he couldn't explain this kind of thing to the people one by one, or even go to the newspapers to refute the rumors. If he really did that, the people might be even more afraid.
But just because he couldn't explain it, everyone thought that Lorraine had acquiesced. Therefore, everyone was cautious.
No one in Naian dares to say anything bad about Lorraine, and no one dares to say anything good about Lorraine, because no one dares to say anything about Lorraine at all.
On this day, in the lounge in the back house of the Governor's Palace, Lorraine's family gathered here.
Catherine put down the pen and paper in her hand, raised her jade arms and stretched her body, saying: "It's almost ready."
Lorraine saw a trace of fatigue on her face, and immediately patted Catherine's hand and said apologetically: "Thank you for your hard work."
Adele frowned and kicked Lorraine, saying, "You're heartless, I've been doing this for so long."
Lorraine leaned over and pulled Adele into his arms, let her sit on his lap, put his arm around Adele's waist, and said, "Thank you for your hard work, too."
Adele hugged Lorraine's neck and smiled with satisfaction.
Luo Linna was surprised and said: "So soon? I thought it would take at least a month."
Catherine sighed and said: "It's not too soon. After all, there hasn't been a big war here in Nai'an for decades. We have to worry about everything. If we put it in the eastern provinces and mobilized an army of 150,000, it would be too much.
It’s only half a month.”
Lorena whistled very unladylikely.
Lorraine said: "Fortunately, Nicole has experience in doing these things. Dai Er is busy all day long. If it is left in the hands of those in the government, we may not be able to complete the preparation work by this autumn."
Although Lord Lorraine has fought twice, in Maple Leaf Danlin he was just a general leading an army, and he did not need to worry about his troops, equipment and materials.
Moreover, he is also an important general of the Maple Army with outstanding achievements, so no one dares to give him any trouble. No matter what is missing, as long as a report is typed, someone will be assigned to it.
As for the battle with the orcs in winter, although he was already a senior official and the commander of the war zone, he was fighting a defensive war in his own territory. But now, he wanted to take the initiative to attack, and then he realized that launching a war
What a complicated thing.
Sure enough, it is like the number one super thug in the world in the past, the Nine-flower Red Stick, as Sun Tzu said, "Those who recruit a hundred thousand troops, march thousands of miles, spend thousands of gold a day, are lazy on the road, and can't do anything, there are seven hundred thousand families..."
First of all, he has 150,000 soldiers and 30 legions that need to be organized in detail, assigned to the garrison, and allocated food and military pay.
A transport team of one hundred thousand people composed of militiamen and peasant chiefs also needs to be organized according to the regiment's establishment, assigned manpower to command, and conduct some basic training. What makes Lord Luo most angry is that even those civilians have to give
They spend their salaries.
In addition, there are various materials needed to ensure the operations of these legions, such as grain, steel, leather, wood, oats, soybeans, and more than a hundred kinds.
Although there is no need to personally handle every detail, the final decision-making and payment still require the consent of Catherine and Adele.
Lorraine's family has a clear division of labor. Catherine and Adele handle the paperwork and manage the entire Nian's finances, while Lorraine is responsible for the appointment and dismissal of these soldiers and officials.
With personnel rights and financial power in their hands, the Lorraine family firmly controls the entire province and the hundreds of thousands of troops.
Because Lorraine was borrowing troops to fight the war, it could not transfer treasury stocks from various places openly without the emperor's explicit order. What little Naian had had been eaten up long ago in the winter.
All the war preparation materials had to be purchased by Nai An Sheng himself. Half of the tens of millions of gold coins he had just circled were scattered for this purpose.
Fortunately, Leo's Flying Eagle Group played a big role in this process and directly undertook the procurement of bulk materials. Because the Flying Eagle Group has branches all over the country, it is particularly convenient to do these things.
Otherwise, Lorraine might not have been able to buy so much food and supplies even if he was waving gold coins.
After spending two tense and panic-stricken months, the personnel were in place and the supplies were ready. After a few repairs, we were ready to officially set off.
Thinking about the hard work and achievements of the past two months, Catherine smiled proudly and said to Lorraine: "It's good that you know."
"That's right," Adele patted Lorraine on the shoulder and said, "I haven't gone shopping for a long time. I heard that new styles of clothes have become popular again."
Lorraine said: "Okay, okay, you can go shopping as you like and I will pay for it."
Adele kissed Lorraine on the cheek.
Lorraine said: "Don't just buy some clothes and jewelry. The conditions on the grassland are difficult. Prepare some things in advance that you may use."
As soon as Lorraine said this, everyone in the room became interested.
Luo Linna slapped her leg at that time and said: "You're right, I almost forgot about this. Lorraine, I'm not talking about you. When I went out for inspection last time, I originally expected to see the grassland, but it turned out that the south was developed.
It's beyond recognition. It's either grain or pasture, and it doesn't look like a grassland at all."
Lorraine looked at Luolina's dissatisfied expression and said with a wry smile: "Sister, you had the most fun during the last inspection. Besides, when you saw those tens of thousands of acres of land, who jumped for joy for a long time."
Luo Linna waved her hands indifferently and said: "That's different."
Then he said with a fascinated expression: "I didn't even see a single wild animal there last time. It's such a pity. I must go there this time to enjoy it. I heard that lions on the grassland are the most regal, and wolves
Black panthers are the most ferocious animals. When the time comes, I will definitely catch two and bring them back to play with. When I was in Ruman City, a little kid actually pulled two black panthers at me. I took them back and envied them to death.
"
"Yes," Adele also excitedly patted Lorraine on the shoulder and said, "I have also heard that there is a fox on the grassland that is as big as a puppy. Its fur is not only soft, but also has a faint tinge.
After the flowing light is made into fur, it is as beautiful as the moonlight wearing it on the body at night. I will definitely get thirty or fifty sheets by then."
Even Hilmeria was attracted, her eyes were shining and she said: "Is there really such a good thing?"
Lorraine had already seen that this kind of fox was about to become extinct. She shook her head and stopped thinking about the poor fox. Lorraine looked at Lorena and said, "Why, do you want to go to the grassland too?"
Luo Linna looked at Lorraine strangely and said, "Of course it is. All the mages from our academy will go with the army this time, right?"
Lorraine nodded and said, "It's up to them to scare the orcs."
Luo Linna put her hands on her shoulders, her big eyes curved, and said: "Then, without me, will you command the mages?"
"Uh..." Lorraine scratched her head and thought: I'm trapped.
Commanding nearly a hundred mages to fight together is also a skill, not to mention that in Naian, except for Lorena, Catherine, Adele, and Hilmeria, no one else can command and move the heavens of these Maple Leaf Danlins.
The proud ones.
Lorena smiled proudly and gave Catherine a victory sign.
Lorraine frowned and said: "This time is different from the attack on Almohad. The prairie is a barbaric land outside of civilization."
Catherine shrugged and said: "What does it matter? I heard that the scenery on the grassland in spring and summer is the most charming. First of all, you must prepare sunscreen."
"Yes," Adele jumped off Lorraine's lap and started recording from the left, "There is also mosquito repellent perfume. I heard that mosquitoes are very powerful on the grassland."
"Count one, mark it down." Catherine said, then nodded her chin and started thinking.
Leo suddenly nodded his little head and said, "Xiao Bai only has one elephant and is very lonely. I'm going to find him a little female elephant."
"Come on, you little guy didn't know how much fun you had. He made a mess in the kitchen last night." Catherine said angrily: "Go to dad's place."
Leo raised his fist and said, "You can't just go out and play by yourself, leaving me to look after the house. Boss, please tell me about your woman."
Catherine turned her head and glared at Lorraine, who said: "Nicole, given Leo's nature as a little ruffian and your father's conniving attitude, if you don't care, something might happen."
Catherine was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, she was right. Leo could just beat dogs and chase chickens all day long, but Archduke Julius did not distinguish between good and bad, and doted on Leo very much. The old and the young were together.
He couldn't live in peace. Thinking that hundreds of thousands of troops could walk sideways on the grassland, Leo's safety should be no problem. In the end, he only nodded in agreement.
Leo cheered and said to Melina: "Let me tell you, the boss will not leave us two. Well, sister, can I bring two pastry chefs with me?"
"No," Catherine said angrily, "You think it's camping."
Leo regretfully showed his hands to Vera. Vera turned the ring on her hand and made up her mind to fill up this space ring that had only been filled with snacks again tomorrow, and she would never take it out to eat before arriving at the grassland.
.
Lorraine looked at the five girls and two children in the room and said, "So, we are all going to go on this expedition?"
Everyone nodded at the same time.
Lorraine scratched her head and said, "Okay, let's all go, just treat it as a family trip."
