Start as Inherited Baroness
Chapter 30: Knighthood
After Simon took a shower, he lay on the bed for a while. Winnies also finished washing and Pingting walked into the house.
After more than three months of running-in on the road, they were already familiar with each other, so she went to bed without hesitation and got into Simon's arms.
Needless to say, the flowers in the yard were blooming and the moon was full...
After a night of enjoyment, the next day, when the sun was high in the sky, the two got out of bed, put on their clothes, and were hungry.
"Chunlan, get some food!" Simon shouted.
"Yes~ Master~" A charming woman's voice sounded outside the door.
"Simon, these female slaves are sterilized, don't waste too much time on them."
Winnies blushed and said coquettishly.
"I know." Simon smiled mischievously and kissed her naturally.
"Hmm~" The two hugged and kissed each other for a while before walking out of the bedroom.
"Master~Madam, the food is already warmed up." A maid standing outside the door said respectfully.
"Yes."
Simon nodded slightly, while Winness said nothing.
The two soon came to the hall, where a long table was placed, with many chairs on both sides and at the top.
At this time, the table was already full of food, including roasted lamb legs, roasted steaks, roasted fish, cheese, butter, white bread, vegetable soup, and peeled and cut apples.
Such a meal is already quite luxurious in the Eagle Kingdom, and many barons cannot enjoy it often.
Simon and Winness sat down in their respective seats and ate without saying a word.
Not long after, the food on the table was eaten by the two of them.
Simon naturally took the lion's share, but Winness's appetite should not be underestimated, no wonder she can have such a plump butt.
After the meal, the servants quickly removed the plates and pots.
"Go and call Airey, Sarit and Kelair." Simon ordered.
"Yes." The servant answered and went.
After a while, the three of them came one after another.
"Sit down, there are no troublemakers among the slaves, right?" Simon asked with a faint smile.
"Sir, no, they are all very docile, they are too honest, and the slave soldiers are extremely obedient.
I didn't sleep well all night, for fear that the slave soldiers would run away, but when I got up in the morning and counted them, there was not one missing." Airey smiled.
"The slaves in Slave Bay are the best, and now they haven't been asked to work, so naturally there will be no escape." Kelair said calmly.
"How are the oxcarts, horse carriages and grain purchases going?" Simon nodded and asked again.
"Now there are more than 350 oxcarts, more than 200 horse carriages, 30,000 buckets of rye, 12,000 buckets of barley, 3,000 buckets of wheat, and 2,000 buckets of black beans.
These cost a total of 382 gold eagles." Kelair said familiarly.
Simon nodded and sighed in his heart: "These agricultural products are really worthless. So many supplies are only worth three top-grade Yingtiao."
"Almost, these grains are enough to support us to Yongyi Territory.
As for the future, we can also collect a lot of food locally, and we can replenish it on the road in time.
Besides, there must be merchants going to Xisaidi. Anyway, we have money in hand, so we can just buy some more."
Simon said that it was not difficult to buy so much food, but it was not so easy to transport it.
However, he had a storage barn, and it was not a problem to load 3,000 people with food for a year, but he still had to worry about it on the surface.
Kelley nodded and agreed. Although Yongyi Territory was a wasteland, the various berries and grass seeds scattered on the plains and forests were also relatively rich.
There were so many wild animals in such a large area, so there would be no famine. The wild resources alone could support us for at least half a year.
"We will take people to Fengjian Manor today and set off for Yongyi Territory tomorrow. Kelley, what are your plans?" Simon asked.
"Sir, I will continue to run the Fengjian Chamber of Commerce here and buy the materials you need.
Reed will follow you, and he will bring 100 foot soldiers and 500 servant soldiers." Kailaier said respectfully.
"Well, I will need your help in the future. We are a family now.
When the Yongyi Territory is developed, I will give you a manor as a gift.
If Reed is willing to be loyal to me, I can also make him a knight.
Aile and Sarit are already my knights." Simon smiled.
"Sir, we will always be loyal to you!" The two men said at the right time.
Kailer did not hesitate to hear this, but stood up and saluted: "It is an honor for Reed to be loyal to Sir Simon. I will call him over now."
Simon smiled and nodded at him.
He immediately stood up and walked out of the hall, and soon, he brought Reed.
As soon as the young man entered the door, he walked to Simon, knelt on one knee, held the sword in both hands and said: "I, Freeman Reid, under the witness of the Holy Spirit...
Dedicate my loyalty to Baron Simon..."
"I, Simon Hollen, in the name of Baron of Courage, canonize Freeman Reid as an honorary knight!"
Simon drew out the long sword from his waist slowly and said solemnly.
The ceremony was quickly completed, and Reid appeared in the team column with a loyalty of only 81.
At the same time, there was a hint of disappointment and dissatisfaction in Kelley's eyes.
"This little guy is so stingy. I gave him so many things, but he was reluctant to give him even a real knight.
If I had known this, I shouldn't have voted for him in the first place. Willier is not bad either. Although he has more brothers, he is a third-generation poor peasant and is easy to fool..."
Carlisle's mind was filled with thoughts.
"Okay, let's go back and get ready. We will set off at sunrise tomorrow morning." Simon returned the sword to its sheath and said with a smile.
"Yes!" Everyone responded, then walked out of the hall and dispersed.
As the commander of the personal guards, Airei naturally stayed behind and guarded the door with the heavy infantry.
Sarit went to guard the slaves.
Simon's current military strength is only more than 300 people, and the 200 disciples obtained from Lord Kamo also appeared in the team column after the self-recognition ceremony.
In the team column, each slave has its own name, all skills and data are clearly displayed, and the loyalty is all 100.
"The guys in Slaver's Bay are really good at training people. They are all loyal. It's scary. It's really scary."
Simon didn't know what methods they used to train people, but he thought they must be very cruel and cruel.
He spent the rest of the day making another appearance to the slave, then returned to his bedroom to read.
Winnis sent her maid to buy some works, all written on parchment and valuable.
There are three books in total, the Epic of the Eagle Kingdom, Heraldry and the Travels of the Grand Duke.
These books tell the history of the kingdom, the coats of arms and emblems of the various nobles, and the geography.
The last one is the kingdom travel diary of the famous southern Duke Kenley Bernal.
This was the first book Simon started reading, which could help him quickly understand the customs and customs of various places.
Although it may not be completely accurate, it is generally reliable.
These three books are all books that only nobles can buy and read. Winnies had never read them before, so she lay in Simon's arms and watched them together.
Soon, the time came to evening.
At this time, one of Winnis's maids knocked on the door and said, "Master, madam, the tailor shop in the city has prepared the family crest and flag and sent them over."
"Come in." After hearing this, she quickly got out of Simon's arms, straightened her clothes, and called.
