Continental Warriors Yoo Ma

Seeing the appearance of "big figures with noble identities" in Yof Ma's line, the market judge Bert personally came forward and greeted them with the most enthusiastic attitude.

"Welcome, the distinguished Count of Rouen, and the Bishop of Naville, as well as two beautiful ladies." Belt bowed and said hello.

An Wen snorted. Although she was a little dissatisfied, she didn't bother to refute the other party's misunderstanding.

Margaret was smiling and seemed to be very helpful.

"We didn't send someone to notify us in advance, you actually know our identity?" Yofu Ma asked curiously.

"My lord, in my position, I always have to deal with nobles, so I have worked hard in heraldry." Belt glanced at the red and yellow banners behind Youfu Ma, representing the identity of the count of Rouen.

"Impressive ability." Youfu Ma nodded, and under the guidance of Belt, he entered the bustling but well-ordered market.

People in different clothes bargain here, and after walking for 10 minutes, they have heard more than a dozen languages.

Margaret looked very excited, looking left and right all the way.

She was not the kind of girl who was born with a golden key. After she was born, she was sent to the house of a small landlord in the countryside for foster care. She was not brought back to the palace by her brother until she was of age to marry, and her identity was made public.

However, the public identity and the recognition of the Valois family does not mean that she can be included in the family tree and has the right of inheritance.In order to do this, extremely complicated procedures are required, as well as the support of domestic nobles and the endorsement of the church.

Charles VII certainly wouldn't do that.

Although Margaret was a rich little woman and had a good relationship with the king and queen, she did not have a high status in the court, and the social circle of the great nobles did not take her to play with her foolish baron husband.

In other words, Yoof Ma's lover is a country girl who has not been rich for a few years.

In fact, it's pretty good, and Tu Niu also has the cuteness of Tu Niu.

In the busy and lively Champagne market she had never seen before, Margaret was in high spirits.She asked, "Mr. Judge, I want to buy some falcons. Where should I go?"

"Ma'am, this is a market for great deals. You can go into the city, and there are many shops on the avenues along the Seine that will satisfy your every need."

"Is the block trade market any different?"

When the Champagne market is held, a certain category of commodity trade will be carried out in different time periods.

Those who have shopping needs must first exchange their currency at the exchange office for the market-specific token - Troyes pound.

When the buyer and the seller reach an agreement, payment is not made immediately.The market will send accountants to record the goods and money traded on the ledger.

It was not until the last day of the market that buyers and sellers completed the last step of the transaction, and the money and goods were cleared.

The reason for adopting this management system is mainly to reduce the cost of tax collection.Instead of sending people to watch the market every day and taxing every transaction, it is better to set a unified settlement on the last day and collect the business tax in one go.

Also, the lord is profitable when it comes to currency exchange.

Even this management system gave birth to the original futures market.

After listening to Belt's introduction, Margaret nodded again and again, looking like she had gained knowledge.

What Mayouf and Bishop Navel are more concerned about is when the trading day for weapons and armor is.

"You want to sell a lot of weapons and armor? That will take a few more days. The metalwork trade is on the twentieth. Today is the last day of the textile trade, and there is a good shipment from Flanders. From tomorrow In the beginning, it was the grain trade."

Yofu Ma looked quite interested: "I want that batch of Flanders fabrics."

The biggest goal of his training now is to get the Spanish phalanx out.Although everything is difficult at the beginning, things have to be done step by step.

Comfortable, uniform, and combat-friendly uniforms are a good way to boost army morale and strengthen cohesion.On the medieval battlefield where both sides of the war are dressed in colorful clothes, the appearance of an army in uniform clothes will definitely cause a psychological shock to the enemy.

An hour later, after seeing Yofu Ma who had bought a lot of fabrics away, a servant walked up to Belter, rubbing his hands together, and flattered: "Sir, your management ability is really admirable, it's like being greeted by Samohe, the god of wealth. Blessings are the same, this time I will definitely make a lot of money, right?"

Belt patted the servant's shoulder: "Not only that. I will earn more, more than you can imagine."

Seeing that the judge's smile was getting more and more dangerous, the servant quickly shrank his neck and stopped talking.

Chapter 69 Three Birds With One Stone

In the evening, after the market closed, Belt immediately rode to the castle of the Count of Troyes.

At this time, Mr. Count was having dinner.

Perhaps the word "enjoyment" is not accurate.Because of the long-term irritability and poor rest, the Count of Troyes has a few blisters in his mouth, and now it is not delicious to eat anything.Even the tender and tender beef stewed carefully on the table tastes like chewing wax.

No way, he is not easy to be the Earl of Troyes, and he faces too many troubles every day.

The Champagne region, where the city is located, was only recaptured by Joan of Arc last year.The nobles who still retained the title of the Champagne region happily packed their bags and returned to the territory as a "homecoming group".

And those unowned territories were given to cronies by Charles VII.

Relying on his relationship with the Anjou family, he enthusiastically donated a large amount of military expenses to Charles VII, and finally obtained the title of earl.

However, this seat is far less beautiful than the Count of Troyes imagined.

It is very close to the front line of the war. The control areas of Britain and France are intertwined, and there are enemy troops that cross the border from time to time.

In order to resist the British, protect the trade routes, and maintain the champagne market, the Count of Troyes invested a lot of money and energy.Although relying on the taxation of the Champagne market, the finances can still be maintained, but the endless emergencies are still exhausting.

You must know that this place was still a British-occupied area not long ago, and the remnants of those island barbarians are far from being cleaned up.

Coupled with the fact that it is a major traffic route and a trade center from the south to the north, the city is even more mixed.

Especially this winter, the number of English spies sneaking into the Champagne region has increased significantly.There are all kinds of signs that the other party is secretly planning to do a big thing.

"I just want to be a beautiful man who counts money quietly. The battle between Charles VII and Henry VI for the crown, don't get involved here!"

The Count of Troyes was frightened all day long and wanted to cry without tears.

While he was chewing food with a frown, Belt came to the restaurant excitedly.

"Oh, my judge, is something wrong?"

"I'm sorry to interrupt your meal, my lord. But I've brought a chance to make a fortune!"

This sentence is like a special medicine, which instantly cured the pain of Count Troyes.He couldn't wait to ask: "What the hell is going on, tell me quickly!"

Therefore, Belt will come together with the events that he met with Yofu Ma today.

Hearing that Ma Youfu was generous and bought the cloth worth six hundred ducats, the Count of Troyes was so jealous that his face contorted: "This nouveau riche in Seris! Maybe he was just a lowly businessman in his hometown, but he ended up in France. The rhetoric won the trust of the king and the Duke of Burgundy, and then the title of Count of Rouen!"

Yofu Ma ascended to the sky in one step and became the most popular courtier around the Dharma King, and naturally some people would be dissatisfied.Especially those conservative conservatives who value blood and heritage.

Rouen was once the capital of the Principality of Normandy and the second largest city in France. How could it be handed over to a foreigner?

"Lord Count, the Serris people carry quite a lot of goods, at least [-] ducats in cash alone. Why don't we..." Belt smiled gloomily, comparing a classic gesture of wiping his neck.

The Count of Troyes was taken aback by the other party's bold proposal: "Don't make a bad idea! Youfu Ma and the palace have a lot to do. It's easy for us to do this, but troublesome aftermath."

"Because Seris and that fat George are so close, we should take action!" Belt continued to instigate, "This is for Mrs. Yolande."

In the eyes of others, this is obviously a sign of the exchange of interests between the two and the formation of a political alliance.

In the eyes of some people, he has already stood in the palace phase camp.

The Count of Troyes happened to belong to the Yolande faction that was hostile to the palace faction.

Just this year, shortly after Joan of Arc was captured, the conflict between the palace minister and Queen Yolande reached an irreconcilable level due to financial audit issues.

When Queen Yolande was patrolling the territory of Anjou, she was attacked and imprisoned by the army led by the Marshal Gilles de Ray, who was sent by the palace.Yolande was freed only after paying a large ransom.

Because of this attack, Yolande's relationship with his son-in-law, Charles VII, has reached an almost inexorable level.After all, despite his inferior character, corruption and bribery, and cunning and shamelessness, George's palace minister was a good subject of Charles VII.Yolande has reason to believe that Charles VII is behind the scenes.

As the Queen of Aragon, the Queen Mother of Naples, the master of Anjou and Provence, how could this strong woman be able to swallow this breath?

How can her followers swallow this breath?

"To rob Yoof Ma's property, sell him to the British, earn a large ransom, and make Mrs. Yolande happy. This is a brilliant plan to hit three birds with one stone!" Count Wa slapped his thigh, "Done!"

But this kind of thing can't be done blatantly.After the two discussed it, the Count of Troyes decided to give Belt a large sum of money to recruit outlaws to commit crimes.

After finishing the incident, wouldn't it be wonderful to send the army to arrest those desperadoes, kill and silence them, and bury all the truth in the ground?

After receiving the money from the Count of Troyes, Berthe left the castle and went to the city of Troyes.He walked into the most chaotic and filthy streets, made contact with the Thieves' Guild, and hired fifty outlaws, led by a mid-tier rogue "Louis the Meat Shaver".

Afterwards, Belt returned home.

He ordered his servants not to disturb him, then locked himself in his study and began to write.

"Respected star watcher, the spokesperson of the prophet, Master Le Camus, good night. I have been lurking in Troyes for a year, and now I have finally seized an excellent opportunity. However, due to the lack of manpower, I can only hire some criminals, please You must support..."

After writing the letter, he went into the secret room, put the envelope into the bag made of sheep stomach sac, placed it on the floor, and then drew a magic circle around it.

Belt placed the dried internal organs and bones in the four corners, and then began to whisper a dark incantation.

When a strange red light flashed across the study, the bag in the center of the magic circle disappeared without a trace.

"The letter has been sent!" Belt raised his hands high, with a morbid frenzy on his face, "When the new world comes, only believers can gain eternal life!"

……

"What, Jeanne said she didn't arrive until evening? Delayed again?"

"Yes, Your Excellency. The saint said that there are many wounded in the team, so we can only slow down the marching speed. Please prepare your doctor and medicine in advance." The cavalry who arrived at Troyes first said.

"Okay, I see, you go to rest." Youfu Ma waved his hand.

On the third day without the village girl, I miss her.

After instructing Juvenil to do Joan of Arc's reception work, Youfu Ma took An Wen and headed to a small valley south of Troyes.

He finally made the new weapon, just to test it.

Chapter 70 Magic is Explosion

"Sir, since you're here to test weapons and not buy things, why do you want me to follow?" the elf girl said dissatisfied.

She finally deciphered some content from the slates of the Black Tomb Kingdom.

However, those stone slabs did not record any powerful magic that would make a person immortal, or level a city in an instant.

These slates are actually history books, recording the rise and fall of the Black Tomb Kingdom, as well as the deeds of past monarchs.

An Wen was very interested in this.According to her, from the history of the Black Grave Kingdom, information related to the Elf Empire can also be found.

These are invaluable treasures to the Sherwood elves who have lost a great deal of their heritage in the Fourth Age.

Of course, for people on Earth, this information is also important to help them learn more about the world on the other side of the celestial sphere.

"Juvenir reminded me that Troyes has not been very peaceful recently, so when I go out, I naturally have to take full security. What can be safer than staying by the side of the great successor of Robin Hood?"

Youfu Ma's compliment obviously made An Wen very useful.The elf girl coughed dryly and said proudly, "Don't worry, with my archery skills, I won't let any enemy approach you."

After arriving at his destination, Ma Youfu took out a brand-new firearm from the package.

40mm caliber, 40cm long barrel, handguard stock is carefully polished, smooth and rounded lines, comfortable feel.

When Ma Youfu commissioned the blacksmith to make this strange musket, which was thick and short, and had no ignition and firing device, the master craftsman who was said to have studied the art for 20 years in the dwarf clan in the Carpathian Mountains was still very puzzled.
