Black Iron Crown

Chapter 648: Soldiers approaching the city

   "Nonsense! The North is so cold and barren, how can it become a paradise on earth, you stupid pig is joking! This joke is not funny at all, hahaha!"

   A big-nosed alcoholic who had lost two teeth stood up. His mouth smelled the most, and the two missing front teeth were knocked out.

   After hearing what he said, the rest of the drinkers laughed and looked at the man with weird eyes.

   "Bah! What do you drunkards know! My friend is the little leader of the caravan. He followed an old man to the north to do business in person, and when he came back he brought a full silver coin!"

   "Hey hey hey! Forget it! What to care about with him!" One person stood up and waved, waving a tenth of the copper in his hand, and shouting to the waitress: "Bring me a can of beer!"

Divide the copper into several parts, which is a way of shopping in the city. The copper is cast by the empire, the western countries, and the Rosa church together. Only a huge mint controlled by the empires Can mint this legal currency.

   In the past, currency was usually used by nobles and merchants, so even the smallest face value copper had a high purchasing power.

   While the bourgeoisie and self-employed farmers flocked to the cities, and after all kinds of consumer goods were popularized to the civilian class, copper alone would obviously not be enough to provide them with convenient consumption.

   So this method of separating the copper has gradually become popular, and the mint is not willing to take too much trouble to cast a smaller denomination, and it has to cooperate with this cutting method, so new coppers came into being.

  The diameter of the new copper is two centimeters, and the center of the circle is a point, and straight lines are drawn outward. A copper has fifty threads on it, which means that a copper can be divided into fifty parts at most.

   There are four straight lines on the copper that the wine guest gave just now, which is one-tenth of the copper.

   This one-tenth copper can buy a can of one kilogram of beer in a pub. The purchasing power is not large, but the advantage is that the beer is cheap.

The monthly income of these low-level citizens is about five bronzes, which is about the same as the monthly salary of the soldiers under Reiner. The difference is that the soldiers can divide some spoils, make merits, and reward money and land. Reward, in fact, their lives are not as superior as ordinary soldiers of the Northern Army.

   The waitress walked over enchantingly, holding a clay pot in her hand. She looked at everyone with amorous feelings, but found that no one looked at herself, she could only secretly curse that money was not easy to make, so she turned and left.

After pouring him a glass of wine, the knowledgeable alcoholic glanced at the drunkard, and then said: "Where the northern border is very rich, even the serfs can eat every year, so there is no need to eat. Worry, not only that, they can also buy some property for themselves, and save a few years of money to buy a farming horse from the Duke of the North! The family also raises four or five sheep."

   "You should have heard of how cold the northern border is, but in the winter of the past few years, no one has died in the northern border! Why?"

   He sold a pass, and everyone stretched their heads to look at him, waiting for his explanation.

   "There is firewood to eat and wear warmly! It must not die from freezing!"

   "Tsk tusk tusk!" The crowd became a mess, and they discussed with the people around them.

   "I said so! The one who drank with us last winter, what is called Blackfoot, didn't he freeze to death at the root of the city wall!"

   "Our emperor's capital is not very cold yet, people are going to freeze to death, but no one in the north is frozen to death, hey, this is the gap!" The life drinker shook his head meaningfully, his expression was full of utter tongue.

   "Who said no!" Everyone expressed envy for this.

   "Hey hey hey! Guys!" The drinker's words made him a little popular, and all the drinkers present turned their eyes to him at this time.

   Seeing that he is in the limelight, he couldn't help but feel a little vain, and pretended to say profoundly: "Oh, I see, when we live such a good life, it is not far away!"

   "How do you say?" everyone asked in unison.

"Do you still need to ask!" The drinker yelled, and lowered his voice, who hated iron and steel, looked around, and then pretended to say mysteriously: "This northern prince, but there is nothing left from our emperor. One hundred and twenty kilometers!"

   "Oh!" Everyone suddenly realized, and there was joy on their faces.

  Only the alcoholic who had lost two teeth was puzzled, looking at this group of people in a daze.

Obviously ten days ago, they were the same group of people who were verbally criticizing the Great Duke of the Northern Territory, as if he were a loyal minister of the current emperor. If the Great Duke of the Northern Territory was a chaotic courtier and a gangster, it was only ten days. Have you changed your face completely?

   The drunkard did not understand their behavior, and could only quietly take advantage of the distraction of everyone's energy, and put a dirty hand into someone's pocket.

   At this time, Lena was leading his army forward like a broken bamboo. He hardly encountered any obstacles along the way. The saying that the little emperor is a bastard, with low bloodlines and stealing the throne, almost caused him to betray his relatives in an instant.

  The loyalty of each castle fortress is the imperial royal family, the descendants of Kafit the Great, not the son of Count Redmara.

   Therefore, when the true Morand orthodoxy appeared in front of them, the Kaesong surrender was the only choice.

   Although there may be people who are still willing to serve the little emperor, who dares to resist the offensive of nearly 30,000 troops?

   Lena rode on the back of a workhorse, the weather is getting colder and colder, and the sun in the sky is not as arrogant as it was in summer.

   The sky was densely covered with dark clouds, and it seemed that the space between the sky and the earth was a little dark. Lena was wearing a thick cotton-padded coat, feeling the cold and dampness far less than that of the north.

  Leiner licked his lips, feeling cold and slimy~lightnovelpub.net~ very uncomfortable, but the excitement in his heart covered it all.

   After a lapse of four years, he finally led the army once again onto this land, the heart of the Redka Empire.

   Feeling the prosperity of the surrounding villages and market towns, Rainer is also in a very good mood. He already regards all of this as his own, and he is about to reach the top position. How can he not be happy?

   Along the way, the elite of the Northern Army and the innocent military discipline in the autumn brought a deep impression to the market towns and villages along the way, and at the same time made them full of affection for the Great Duke of the Northern Territory.

Rumors about the Northern Territory have been spread around the imperial capital a long time ago. The wealth of the Northern Territory is the object of discussion by many people. They can’t understand why that piece of cold land has become so rich. The only explanation. Naturally, he is the great genius of the Northern Territory.

   December 6, the 32nd year of the Empire.

   Rainer led an army of 28,000 and appeared under the walls of the magnificent city of the imperial capital.

   There are many flags, swords and guns like a sea, the sound of people neighing horses is endless, the commands of officers of all levels and the chants of the soldiers are practiced, almost resounding through the sky.

   The white smoke exhaling from the horse's mouth was almost gathering into a dense cloud. The defenders on the city wall looked at the enemy under the city wall with fear and vigilance, with a little complicated expression in their expressions.
