The Most Lord

Chapter 109 Abner

Many, how much? Butler York stammered and said to himself, I must have heard wrong!

Allen stretched out three fingers again: Three hundred thousand, three hundred thousand gold coins.

Allen repeated it twice in a row, and Butler York finally confirmed that he had heard correctly. What Allen said was 300,000!

Lord Allen, are you kidding me? Butler York asked with a dark face, All the liquid funds in our City Lord's Mansion add up to less than 300,000 yuan!

Of course, the working capital of the City Lord's Mansion is 300,000. The Farvin family, where Lord Benedict belongs, has been running the city of Nice for many years, and has already accumulated a huge amount of wealth. Not to mention 300,000 gold coins, the City Lord's Mansion can afford 1 million gold coins.

But if you donate to Huaxia leader for free, let alone 300,000 gold coins, the City Lord's Mansion will not be willing to give out 100,000 gold coins.

It's really Allen, too much for a lion to open his mouth!

In fact, when Allen said the figure of 300,000, he didn't really want so much. Unless the City Lord's Mansion is a fool, he would definitely not agree.

As long as the city lord's mansion can give him 50,000 gold coins as a reward, Allen will be satisfied, calling out 300,000 gold coins is just a sky-high asking price.

Here, Allen used the word remuneration. In his opinion, this is the remuneration given to him by the City Lord's Mansion, not a charity to the Huaxia leader.

How much can the City Lord's Mansion give? Allen asked.

Butler York stretched out two fingers: Twenty thousand gold coins.

Allen looked straight at Butler York without speaking.

30,000! Butler York said, 30,000 gold coins, no more.

I remember when I captured Constance Town, I found 30,000 gold coins in the treasury of Constance Town. Unfortunately, it's a drop in the bucket!

Allen said to himself.

50,000, how about 50,000? Butler York raised the price again.

In the end, after a lot of rhetoric, Butler York finally agreed to pay Huaxia Leader 80,000 gold coins in exchange for Huaxia Leader sending out all his troops to attack the Blue Shirt Army!

Butler York promised to send the 80,000 gold coins to Huaxia within three days.

After sending off Butler York, Allen laughed. A butler of the Santo's Mansion can be the owner of 80,000 gold coins. It seems that the Santo's Mansion is far richer than he imagined!

With these 80,000 gold coins, I can buy a large number of soldiers again!

However, the territory's requirement for troops is not very strong now. Allen decided to save the 80,000 gold coins first, and use them to buy soldiers if necessary in the future. If there is no need to buy soldiers, just save enough 100,000 gold coins to open the second subsidiary element.

Since he promised to send troops to the City Lord's Mansion, Allen would naturally not break his word. He immediately sent someone to notify Galen and others who were leading the army outside, and asked them to start gathering troops in Kribi Town and be ready to cooperate with the City Lord's Mansion at any time.

After Butler York left, Allen did not return to the construction site, but picked up the code of law that Arthur gave him, and read it carefully.

As he read, Allen frowned. This code is written in great detail, covering almost every aspect of the territory. It can be seen that Arthur has put a lot of effort into it.

But there is one point in the code that Allen can't agree with at all.

Allen closed the code and rubbed his forehead. It seems that when Arthur comes back, he has to discuss it with him.

Three days later, the City Lord's Mansion sent someone to send 80,000 gold coins to Allen, and at the same time brought a message that on the 23rd of this month, all major forces, including the City Lord's Mansion, sent troops at the same time to attack the Blue Shirt Army!

Today is the 18th, and there are only five days left for the major forces to prepare for the battle. It can be seen how urgent the city lord's mansion is to eliminate the blue shirts.

It is enough to see that the city lord's mansion has really reached the point where it can't bear the blue shirts!

Allen wrote back to the City Lord's Mansion, promising to send troops on time!

After the envoy of the City Lord's Mansion left, the guards came to report, and Arthur returned to Huaxia Town with his teacher Abner.

Allen was quite curious about Arthur's teacher Abner. He really wanted to see what kind of great talent it was that could teach such an outstanding student as Arthur and make Arthur respect him so much.

Allen could see that Arthur's respect for his teacher was definitely from the heart, from the bottom of his heart, without any falsehood.

In the Lord's Mansion, Allen met Arthur's teacher, Abner.

In Allen's eyes, Abner was an ordinary-looking old man, without Arthur's eye-catching temperament, and looked like an ordinary farmer's old man.

It's just that compared to the ordinary farmer's old man, Abner is more indifferent than honor or disgrace.

Abner, I have met the lord. Abner nodded slightly towards Allen.

Allen laughed: Mr. Abner, you have worked hard all the way. Arthur, please help Mr. Abner to sit down.

Abner waved his hand to stop Arthur who was about to help him: I can do it by myself, old man, I'm not that weak, I need someone to help me when I sit down.

The three sat down, Alan and Abner chatted for a few words, and then began to invite each other.

Mr. Abner, if you can teach such an outstanding student as Arthur, you must be a great talent. I wonder if you are willing to take up an official position in our Huaxia leader?

Allen said that the top talents in Huaxia are too rare now. Although I don't know what Abner's ability is, but it is not too bad to think that he is Mr. Arthur.

Abner shook his head: Thank you Lord Lord for your kindness, but old man, I'm getting old, and I don't have the energy to take care of these chores.

That's a pity. Allen was full of regret, but he didn't persuade him much.

Allen knew that the more talented people are, the more assertive they are. Once they refuse for the first time, there will be no other results if they continue to persuade.

But Allen didn't give up, as long as Abner lives in Huaxia Town, there will be plenty of opportunities to persuade him in the future.

After chatting for a few more words, Abner got up and said goodbye on the grounds that he was tired from the journey.

Arthur, I have prepared a residence for you and Mr. Abner. You take Mr. Abner to settle down, and then come to see me at the Lord's Mansion. Allen said.

More than an hour later, Arthur returned to the Lord's Mansion.

Is everything settled? Allen asked.

It's settled, Arthur replied.

After he took his teacher Abner to the residence that Alan helped them arrange, he found that Alan had already prepared everything that needed to be prepared in the residence, and even sent a maid and a servant to take care of their daily life , which filled Arthur's heart with gratitude to Allen.

That's good, Allen said: I have read your code, and there is a problem in it, which I must point out.

My lord, please correct me. Arthur said.

Allen took out the code that Arthur gave him, opened a few pages and said, The biggest problem is that the sentence is too heavy!

For example, this one, Allen pointed to one of the codes: Thieves who steal, cut off their hands, and drive them out of the territory!

Is this punishment too heavy?

What Allen pointed out is just one of them. In Arthur's code, there is almost zero tolerance for criminals, and the punishment for almost every crime is extremely severe.

My lord, Arthur said solemnly, Arthur believes that if the law is to be strictly observed by people, it must be punished severely. The heavier the punishment, the more important the law will be in people's hearts. If the punishment is light, then The law will become worthless in people's eyes, dispensable.

It's like the current kingdom's laws. Unless it touches the interests of the nobles, how many people will really abide by other laws?

The reason for this result is that in the kingdom's laws, only crimes that touch the interests of nobles will be severely punished. The punishment for other crimes is not painful, so no one is willing to abide by it.

Allen shook his head and asked, Arthur, what do you think the purpose of punishment is?
