Lord: Married To A Countess At The Beginning
Chapter 10 The Monster Bride
In the evening, after counting the gold coins, Tina reported the numbers to Gray.
At the same time, the maid who had been silent all day finally couldn't help but speak.
"Master Gray, do you really want to drive the refugees out of the city?"
Tina is not a saintly person.
But the current situation is not that the countess is too kind and unwilling to expel the refugees.
But the Countess must show that she will work hard for her people.
Refugees are her people too.
As a lord, she must make it clear that she will provide relief to the refugees.
She had no second choice in this matter.
Unless she's prepared to lose people's hearts.
The development of a territory is closely related to its population.
In every territory, in addition to those who sold themselves to the lord, there were also mostly floating populations.
If people are willing to live here and contribute to the territory, that is their choice.
If once a lord shows cruelty and loses his or her human heart, the population will begin to disappear.
The Field Territory is on the border of the kingdom, and the territory requires a large population to support a large army.
So the countess's attitude was clear from the beginning.
Now the refugees have become another disaster, and the countess is also a headache, but she cannot directly drive away the refugees.
As the countess's husband, Gray would be considered the countess's intention if he wanted to expel the refugees.
By then it may have irreversible effects.
Tina actually criticized those refugees, but she understood that they were in trouble now.
So she no longer blamed Gray for being too cold-blooded, but warned Gray to be cautious.
Maybe you'll get into big trouble if you're not careful.
Although the current situation has reached the time when a decision must be made.
Gray glanced at Tina. His expression was relaxed, but his tone was firm.
"Of course, this has to be done!"
"Refugees are indeed pitiful and need help and care, but the premise of all this is to ensure that other people in the territory will not feel afraid or in danger."
"Not only do I want to expel refugees, I also call on all cities and towns in the territory to expel refugees."
Gray said and touched his belly: "Tina, it's time for you to go ask the kitchen to cook me dinner."
Tina sighed after hearing this, and he heard the determination in Gray's tone.
She looked at Gray deeply and said, "I hope you can really solve the problem."
At first, she really doubted Gray's ability to solve problems.
But after witnessing Gray getting along with three businessmen who gave the countess a headache, and making the three of them willingly shell out a huge sum of three hundred thousand gold coins, Tina suddenly discovered that Gray didn't seem to be as bad as she thought.
At least he is really good at talking.
In the past, when the countess asked these businessmen to take out money, each of these businessmen would cry out and wanted to take out their patched underwear and show it to her on the spot.
Now, these three old foxes are worth three hundred thousand gold coins.
The treasury of Rose Castle was filled up, and several empty rooms were filled before it was finished.
Such a large amount of money is equivalent to Field's ten years of accumulation.
As Border Earls, the Field family coffers were never full.
Because they need to support the army, warriors, knights, and magicians.
Even if they have vast and fertile land, they usually only have less than 100,000 gold coins as reserves in their treasury.
When it was small, there were less than 30,000.
This came down to 300,000, which really shocked Tina.
Gray's astonishing ability to make money also gave Tina some hope for him.
Tina asked someone to prepare dinner for Gray. After Gray returned to the room, she reported today's events to the countess who had just returned from outside.
As soon as the Countess heard that she had been gone for a day, Gray filled up his family's coffers to the point where they couldn't even hold them all.
Anna suddenly felt light and airy all over, with an unreal feeling.
It wasn't until she saw the boxes of yellow gold coins in the vault with her own eyes that she leaned against the wall and took a deep breath.
Really, it's all true!
Anna wished she could sleep on the gold coins tonight.
The Field family's treasury was not very rich to begin with, and with the rebuilding of Black Rock City and the eradication of monsters, the family's money was not much left.
She was still worried about the weapons and armor of her warriors and the knights' horses.
As a result, when I turned around, my husband, whom I had just brought back, solved the money problem.
For a moment, Anna wanted to rush directly to Gray's room and meet her nominal husband.
But she soon calmed down.
She looked down at her palm, which had fine scales.
Under the red scales, there were wisps of dried blood.
With her current appearance, she would probably frighten the little guy if she appeared in front of him.
Forget it.
Anna suppressed the urge to see Gray, but she felt more curious and expectant about Gray.
Originally, she didn't have high expectations for Gray, and Gray was indeed a tool in Anna's eyes, a tool used to carry on the family line. If nothing else happened, she would only have such a tool husband in her life.
But after listening to Tina's narration today, she became somewhat curious about Gray.
She didn't understand how Gray, a person who had never been exposed to business since he was a child, could chat with those three old foxes.
But there's no doubt that Gray has shown her ability to surprise.
And she doesn't have this ability.
This gave Anna some surprises.
Originally I just picked a tool man, but I didn't expect to find a treasure.
Anna also sighed slightly when she heard Tina say that Gray would drive away the refugees and would call on all the nobles in the entire Field Territory to drive away the refugees.
She didn't accuse Gray of anything.
Because even if Gray doesn't make this choice, she will do it in the end.
Anna thought for a while and said: "Now that he has decided, I will support him. If an accident occurs, I will declare that it is my will and I will bear all the consequences."
Anna paused again at this point: "Also, what is the situation in that industrial area? Why is there my signature and family crest on it?"
Tina's mouth twitched when she heard this: "I asked, Master Gray said that he saw your signature on the wedding book and the family crest on the day he married you, so he remembered it and then imitated an identical copy. …”
Anna:? ? ?
"I didn't expect him to be quite capable. Tell him that he can ask me for the truth next time. Also, tell him that he is not allowed to imitate my signature and do bad things."
Anna said, taking some bloody pieces of meat from the attendant on the side.
"These are the most essential parts of high-level monsters. Add them to Gray's three meals a day."
Tina took the pieces of meat, and the pieces of meat weighing dozens of kilograms were placed easily and steadily on Tina's slender palms.
The slender arms seemed not to feel any weight.
"Ms. Anna, haven't these high-end materials been given priority to the army in the past? For Mistress Gray, ordinary Warcraft flesh and blood should be enough."
Tina didn't understand something.
Anna glanced at Tina: "He is my husband. Since he is willing to practice, I will fully support him. This can be regarded as my compensation to him. Who forced him to marry a monster?"
Anna smiled self-deprecatingly, then turned around to reveal a pair of red vertical pupils with a hint of golden light.
