Chapter 178 What a cold joke
Under the bright sunshine of early summer, an army came to Yale, the capital of Canaan. The soldiers on the wall were startled and shouted to close the wall. However, after seeing the appearance of the army, they began to pursed their lips tightly, and their shoulders trembled. The look of wanting to laugh but not daring to sneer loudly on the wall of the imperial capital was almost like hanging the words "Why did a group of clowns come from?"
Is this an army?
The noble soldiers of the imperial capital commented on the performance of their comrades in their hearts. The more than 3,000 people in front of them were profession soldiers. Their strong bodies and murderous auras could not be covered up. But... why did they lose their armor and look dirty? Many of them even help strips of cloth and rotten tree bark as bandages!? Is he a group of refugees who have just crawled out of the slums?
If the soldiers in front are just like refugees, then the elderly, weak, women and children behind are clearly professional refugees!
This group of people followed the soldiers, with a total of 20,000 to 30,000, but most of them were old men and old women. After walking for a while, a representative scene appeared: an old lady trembled from the cart. She was wearing a tattered religious robe, with mud on her face. On the palm that was timidly raised, she even grabbed a piece of black steamed bun, and said while gnawing, "I'm old and I've been going to the toilet more often... Can the young men in front of me stop me, the old woman?"
A magical thing happened. The soldiers in front actually stopped, and then stood in a row laughingly and waiting for the old lady to enter the woods on the roadside with confidence. After a while, a sound of squeaking sound came from inside...
The soldiers on the city laughed and sucked!
Ye Huan, who was in this team, blushed!
Disgraceful!
It's embarrassing!
Is this the first time the Saviors arrived in the imperial capital?
well……
"Teacher, just bear with it and just go into the city!" The ninth prince persuaded him beside him, but he looked helpless.
This is the 28th day after leaving Xingte Port. Ye Huan finally arrived at the capital of Canaan, Yale City. After the great disaster of He Lieshan, his friends and relatives were temporarily hiding here under the arrangement of the ninth prince!
But along the way...
well!
Ye Huan continued to sigh. Along the way, with the news that Ye Huan returned and led the army of the King of Sea Beasts to force the four major warlords to retreat, the old and young people in He Lieshan began to pour into the Savior Sect like a dam discharge! At first, Ye Huan thought happily that the more people came, the stronger the Savior Sect was, so everyone would refuse!
But a few days later, he discovered the viciousness of Chu Ya. It turned out that almost all the useful talents on He Lie Mountain were captured by the Far East Army. Those who stayed there could not be said to be useless (or I'm sorry, Krupp, who is still a little skillful), but basically all the old men and ladies picked up by Chu Ya. Not to mention working for the Saviors, they even need people to serve them in food and water!
The most deadly thing is that when Ye Huan was impatient, these old men and women glared at each other and said with confidence, we are following the orders of the late emperor to surrender to the new pope. Pope Rhine raised us back then, would you, Ye Huan, be embarrassed not to support us?
In just over twenty days, Ye Huan felt like she had become a nursing home and a nursery!
If this is the case, Ye Huan admitted that as the heir of the Pope, he had the responsibility to take care of these old Yuanrong who had contributed to the Father's religion. But the problem is that when the number of these old men and women exceeded the 20,000 mark, the daily money and food consumed became an astronomical number!
Ye Huan, no money!
"Oh..." Another sigh rang out, and the ninth prince turned his head under Ye Huan's gaze.
He knew that Ye Huan's look meant to "borrow money", but the actual situation was that he had already lent Ye Huan 5,000 gold coins along the way, but in just half a month, he was eaten up by these old men and women like locusts. At this time, no matter how rich the Ninth Prince was, he would never be able to help Ye Huan fill this bottomless pit!
"Teacher, I really can't help you this time. You also know the domestic situation in Canaan: among the princes who have the strength to compete for the throne, my eldest brother is famous, my third brother has power, and I have soldiers, but the Ministry of Finance of the empire is controlled by the richest brother... I can't even pay the legitimate military expenses in my brother's hands, and it's even more impossible to ask for money to support these..." He lowered his voice, "Come on these old locusts who are eating and waiting to die!"
He patted the ninth prince on the shoulder, but Ye Huan said nothing.
He knew that the Ninth Prince had tried his best to help him...
"Teacher, bear it!" The ninth prince smiled and said, "When I met my father, I promised the teacher that the three thousand miles of fiefdom will be implemented. With the fiefdom, the teacher will have population and taxes, and a mere tens of thousands of people can afford it!"
When it comes to fiefdom, Ye Huan is in a better mood.
When the ninth prince was apprentice, he gave him the right to choose a fiefdom of three thousand miles at will. At this time, he should think about where to set it. You must know that this fiefdom will be the capital of the Savior Sect and the holy land of the future!
Thinking of this, Ye Huan asked in a low voice: "I don't know much about Canaan's geography. Your Highness Ninth, where do you think I'll choose?"
The ninth prince thought for a while, "There are constant earthquakes in China, and there are not many good places with wealth. Even if there are a few, they will be controlled by the other princes... Let me give the teacher three suggestions!"
Ye Huan listened intently.
"The first place is Xingte Port. The teacher has just turned the tide. The civilians of Xingte Port are grateful to you. If you choose it, you will not be a problem in the future. Moreover, Xingte Port is the best natural port in the south. With sea trade, money is even more not a problem!"
"The second place is the Beishui City in the north. The advantage is that it has a large population and a shortage of soldiers. If you stay there, the teacher will cooperate with the wealth brought by the privateing license and will soon be able to pull up a powerful army!"
They are all good places, Ye Huan felt itchy, "Where is the third place?"
"The third place is the ancient city of Rome!"
"where?"
"Ancient Roman city!" The ninth prince said in surprise: "When the teacher in this place looks different, isn't this place good?"
"No, hehe, it's just an old friend left me a little gift there!" Ye Huan smiled. The place where Shamir left him a mysterious gift was exactly the ancient Roman city. He said with a heart-warming feeling: "Is there any advantage of ancient Roman city?"
"The ancient city of Rome has two advantages. One is that its transportation is well connected. In the future, whether it is developing trade or marching, it will be three points faster than other lords! Second, it is the birthplace of the Father's religion in the past. Since ancient times, the religious atmosphere is strong. Almost everyone is a religious believer in millions of residents. The future pope occupying the birthplace of the Father's religion can be said to have a unique missionary advantage!"
"No need to think about it, it's the ancient city of Rome!"
When Ye Huan heard the words "The Origin of the Father's Church", he nodded without thinking.
"Teacher, the ancient Roman city has obvious advantages, but I put it in third place, but the shortcomings there are actually very obvious!" The Ninth Prince said helplessly: "After the catastrophe, the three major religions in the world, the Western Heavenly Father's religion, the Eastern Buddhism, and the Druids that have spread in nature and have begun to penetrate into prosperous cities in recent years... This ancient Roman city has been targeted by the Druids!"
"Druid?"
After his reincarnation, Ye Huan had never come into contact with this religion that was said to be closest to nature and was strong enough to compete with the Heavenly Father's religion at its peak. He lowered his head for a moment and thought silently.
The birthplace of the Father’s religion, millions of people are believers of the Father. The temptation of this ancient Roman city is really huge, but the druids also fell in love with it. If they occupy the ancient Roman city, there will be constant wars in the future and there will be no chance to develop the Saviors sect smoothly...
Moreover, Krupp just said not long ago that the three gods of the Druids almost killed even the Heavenly Father Emmasi. Can you deal with such a powerful enemy?
Just as he was thinking, Ye Huan's thoughts were interrupted by the two little guys!
One is the little girl Sally. Since she came out to play at sea for a few days, this little guy has fallen in love with the environment of the human world. Ye Huan simply let her appear beside him blatantly - he is already the heir of the pope. Ye Huan made up a statement that this is a gift given to him by the angel of savior, so no one will blame him for raising ghosts around him.
And the other one is our Dutch Pig!
Compared to Ye Huan and the Ninth Prince discussing the future great cause of the Savior Sect, the conversation between these two little guys is no longer nutritious. After Ye Huan's thoughts were interrupted, he just listened and heard a few words:
"Hey, are you a city?" Mr. Dutch Pig shouted at Yale City, "It's been seven hundred years. It's the first time I've seen the city. City, I love you so much. Because your appearance marks that I, Mr. Teslapoll, have returned to a civilized society again, and have completely bid farewell to the tragic pig life that has only survived by a joke for seven hundred years!!!"
"Mr. Boer, I'm very curious!" asked the little girl with a restrained voice: "What kind of joke is it that can make you laugh for seven hundred years?"
“Want to know?”
Mr. Dutch Pig proudly pushed down his golden-wired sunglasses, "Listen, this joke happened in the bank of the Yanhuang people. He said that a local bully was carrying a bag of gold coins to save money. Suddenly, a beauty patted him behind his back and asked him with a smile... Sir, you are here to save money, I am here to withdraw money. Then, if you give me the gold coins directly, will we all save trouble?"
"After thinking about it, this rustic guy actually gave the woman a bag of gold coins. Haha, are you funny? What a silly rustic guy who can do such a thing!"
“…”
What a cold joke, the little girl has no intention of laughing at all.
But soon, she tilted her head and thought, "It sounds a bit familiar. It seems that I have heard of this joke somewhere..."
"Hear? Impossible?" Mr. Dutch Pig blinked his little eyes, "I can't remember who heard this joke from, but this is a real thing. The rustic guy who did this stupid thing is called..."
"James Bond!" The little girl ghost finally remembered, "Yes, this was what Grandpa Shamir told him when the eldest brother was in prison, and Grandpa Shamir was much better than you. He also knew that this incident not only happened in the Yanhuang people's banks, but to be precise, it was the bank of the Liufeng family!"
"Yes, yes, Grandpa Shamir also said that this is really a real thing!"
The two little guys were just discussing a joke. Ye Huan didn't pay attention, but someone suddenly took the conversation not far away, "It's impossible, Liufengjia Bank has never been open to foreigners. If there is a customer named James Bond, who is obviously a foreigner, it will definitely be recorded and I will definitely see it!... This joke is fake and has never happened!"
Chapter completed!
