Alien Knights

Chapter 308: The King's Leisure Day 1 (Part 1)

Three days later, the first diplomatic mission in Muxicheng, under the gaze of the people, assembled, refurbished, and drove out at the camp outside the city; dozens of carts loaded with food were escorted by hundreds of soldiers. , The vast and mighty opening to the border of the east.

   Todd stood on the terrace of the palace, watching the winding line outside the city, and tightly grasped the handrail with both hands.

   "Your Majesty, the mission has gone far, let's go back." Huggins stood behind Todd with a newly made cane and said softly.

   looked up at the looming cold mist in the sky, Todd tightened his neckline, his eyes blurred: "It's going to snow."

   Hudgens looked into the sky and said in a low voice, "This winter, I am afraid it will be colder than in previous years."

   The two left the terrace, followed the aisle, and returned to the atrium of the palace.

   Hudgens looked outdoors and said to Todd: "Your Majesty, you have been busy arranging missions these days. What do you want to do in a rare free day?"

   Todd was a little surprised when he heard the word idle. In his impression, rest was a long-standing concept for him.

   In his previous life, on holidays, he could sleep in and watch a movie.

   But since coming to another world, Todd recalled that it had been too long for him to calm down and catch his breath.

   Hudgens thought for a moment, and proposed: "How about watching a drama? The Grand Theatre is performing "Alone Traveler" today. I heard that the venue is full."

   Todd shook his head, and said in his heart that instead of watching a drama, it is better to go back to the soul space and relive the movies that he has already watched.

   "How about hunting? The hunting ground in the north has just been built. There are many animals in it. Horses and hunting bows are in the palace."

   Todd shook his head again. He had no interest in this kind of entertainment popular among the nobles in the Middle Ages. Riding on a horse, holding a bow and arrow, and chasing a group of fleeing animals, this behavior feels a bit silly no matter how you think about it.

   But speaking of hunting, Todd remembered one thing.

   "The last time I asked you to let Henry Griffon go, how did things go?"

   Hudgens showed a strange look on his face: "You are talking about the beast? According to your instructions, we removed all the fences that restricted its movement, but it just refused to leave Twilight."

   Todd looked curious: "Go, let's go to the stable to see it now."

   Hudgens arranged the carriage and guards to accompany the king to the stables of the headquarters of the Musi Knights.

  As soon as he got out of the carriage, Todd heard Henry's piercing cry.

   "What's the matter?" Todd jumped out of the carriage and hurriedly pushed open the stable door, only to see a scene that made him dumbfounded.

   Two cooks, a row of grills, three large pots of fresh meat.

  Gryphon Henry has his belly upside-down, his hind legs straightened, his eyes are staring at the tumbling fork in the cook's hand, his mouth is still screaming impatiently.

Whenever a chef puts the grilled steak on the plate in front of Henry, the latter will always use the picky eyes of a gourmet, carefully examining the color, oil, thickness and fatness of the grilled meat, after confirming the quality , Will slowly eat the food.

The monk in charge of the stables of the Knights trot all the way and came to Todd. The first thing was to complain to him: "Your Majesty, no matter what we do, he just refuses to leave! This month he used to buy fodder. Funds have been eaten up by it in half!"

   Todd looked at the billowing belly of the Griffon, sighed helplessly, went directly into the soul space, and found Henry.

  Looking at the look of Griffins looking around, Todd used his hands to compare the look of flying, and said to Henry: "Don't you miss the sky?"

   Henry opened his bird's beak and compared it to a barbecue with his wings, with a mean look on his face.

   Todd rolled his eyes, and compared his hand to the shape of a ball: "Don't you miss your child?"

   Henry's wings stopped in the air, his eyes slowly filled with tenderness. After a while, it stood up and let out a long howl toward the sky.

   Todd walked up to Griffin, touched his head gently, and said softly, "Bring your family to West End, here, at least don't worry about food."

   As if he understood this sentence, Heng rubbed Todd's cheek with his head and flapped his wings happily.

  Leaving the soul world, Todd said to the servants of the stable, "Go find a canvas bag like that used on mules and horses."

   Soon, people brought a double bag on the back of a mule and connected with canvas.

   Todd picked up the canvas bag, helped Griffon Henry to tie it himself, and found a large amount of cotton, stuffed it into the bag, and then patted him on the neck.

   Seeing Henry cast his eyes on the grilled steak, Todd asked him to wrap the grilled meat in greased paper and stuff it into the negative bag.

   After finishing all this, Henry closed his eyes, rubbed Todd's cheek with his head again, and walked back to the open space in the middle of the stable three times, flapping his wings vigorously, slowly leaving the ground and rising into the air.

   Looking at the smaller and smaller figure in the sky, Todd closed his eyes and let out a long sigh of relief. Turning around, he saw the monks and servants in the stable, hugging each other, tears in their eyes.

   These people kept cheering with such words: "Finally! That terrible monster has finally gone!"

  『The monster in your mouth will soon return to West City with his wife and children. 』

   Regarding this news, Todd chose to keep it secret for the time being. When the Griffin hovered over the kingdom again, what these people's expressions would be, he just thinks about it now, and he thinks it will be very interesting.

   Hudgens glanced at the people who were still cheering, frowned and said, "Your Majesty, where are we going next?"

   Todd walked out of the stables at the headquarters of the Knights, returned to the street, thought for a moment, pointed to the distant Muxi Square, and said to Huggins, "The next place is there."

   Hudgens looked in the direction of the king's fingers and found that the place Todd was talking about was the new government building in the kingdom.

  Before the official examination, most of the government affairs in Muxicheng adopted the elder responsibility system of the ancient Tailuo period; after the implementation of the imperial examination system, the original government affairs mechanism was transformed into a common departmental decentralization system in the late feudal dynasty.

Agriculture, commerce, urban construction planning, taxation, law, personnel and other public utilities functions ~ lightnovelpub.net~ are each independent of the corresponding major departments, and under the framework of the major departments, according to the needs of the city, they are divided into specific matters. Small department.

In the past, the number of government officials was small, their professional skills were relatively rough, and the workplace space demand was relatively small; but now, the imperial examination system has brought a large number of professional civil servants with higher education and industry skills. The requirements are getting higher and higher.

   In order to meet the office needs of hundreds of civil servants, Muxicheng decided to choose a suitable location in the city center to build an administration building for daily urban administration.

  Choose to choose, the earliest building of Muxi City, the place where the king once lived when he was a priest, and the small Muxi Church came into people's sight.

   At first, many people expressed strong opposition to this reform proposal.

Every brick and tile of this church was built by the first immigrants of Twilight City. Every speech the king gave here was the only consolation for people to look forward to the light in that hard and dark age. It may be said to be dismantled.

   After a long period of confrontation and persuasion, coupled with Todd's approval of the proposal, the proposal was finally passed.

   After that, many architects worked together to make use of the continuously upgraded cement materials and the increasingly complete power system, so that the style of the original site was preserved to the greatest extent, and all government departments had enough space for activities.

   After several upgrades and expansions, the original small church finally became the current four-story building with a height of 20 meters, covering an area of ​​nearly 1,000 square meters, and a building area of ​​more than 3,000 square meters.
