Queen and Her Duke

Of course Wen Lin wouldn't reject Vicia's kindness.

When discussing the arrangements for the Royal Capital's army, Wen Lin simply suggested that Eggers take the role of the bodyguard.

It will take some time for the reconstruction of Yinhe Village to be fully implemented. In addition to the matter of going to sea and the Holy See trial, it is really difficult for Wen Lin to withdraw.

Vicia agreed without hesitation.

After walking out of the White House with Wen Lin, Eggers turned his head to look at her, seemed puzzled and provocative at Wen Lin's proposal, with a grinning expression that resembled a raccoon cat in China.

"Your Excellency Wen Lin, I will not be grateful to you,"

For Eggers, who has no sense of being a tool person, Wen Lin looked at the distant scenery expressionlessly, and said calmly,

"Your Majesty Eggers, I cannot deny your talent in commanding and managing the army. I believe you will not disappoint Your Majesty,"

Eggers, who was ready to be ridiculed, was caught off guard and praised by Wen Lin, with a look of astonishment on his face. The prepared words were choked in his throat.

It is clear that Wen Lin in the arena is arrogant and arrogant, which is very annoying.

"Your Excellency Eggers, have you prepared the deed of assignment for the shipyard? We'll go to the shipyard to see it later,"

Sure enough, he couldn't have a good impression of her, Eggers took out a few pieces of paper from his pocket and handed it to Wen Lin with a cold expression.

Unceremoniously, she reached out to take it, and Wen Lin drove to the shipyard.

Keeping promises is the most basic virtue of a nobleman. He promised to be Wen Lin's attendant for a month, and Eggers immediately followed.

The shipbuilding workshop has not changed from the last time he came. The steward saw Eggers hurriedly stepped forward and asked him if he had any orders.

Glancing at the steward impatiently, Eggers pointed at Wen Lin and said, "The owner of the shipyard will be her in the future,"

"what,"

Ignoring the steward's exclamation, Eggers simply pulled the deed in Wen Lin's hand and handed it to the steward.

After confirming the deed, the steward who suddenly changed his mind quickly calmed down, and quickly called everyone over, waiting for the new owner's orders.

Wen Lin asked the boatmaker who was in charge of making the boat model to stay, and the others could do whatever they wanted.

Approaching the separate compartment for making models, Wen Lin began to pick up tools to measure the precise hull data, and sketched it from time to time.

Others watched from the side, not daring to make a sound to disturb her.

Gradually, a complete blueprint of a three-masted sailboat appeared in front of everyone.

Wen Lin handed it over to the boatmakers who were responsible for designing the model, and told her to study it as soon as possible, and she could come to her at any time if she didn't understand anything.

Wen Lin's paintings are very meticulous, and every small detail is marked in detail.

For a time, the boatmakers concentrated on research, but no one came to ask her.

Taking advantage of this gap, Wen Lin took out the topographic map of Yinhe Village. There are professional surveying and mapping tools in the boat-making workshop. She took a large piece of parchment and began to draw the overall construction model of Yinhe Village.

For the most important infrastructure construction, Wen Lin first identified several main roads, followed by ditches for drainage and sewage, and completely separated residential areas from farmland and livestock.

Going uphill on the left side not far from the entrance of the village, Wen Lin circled a large piece of land and reserved it for public offices, such as medical halls, schools, offices, etc. The entire hillside at the back was used for military training. .

Soon the whole piece of sheepskin was covered by more than Wen Lin. She rolled up the parchment and began to draw the drawings of farm implements, including forks, rakes, hoes, curved ploughs, keel carts, and columbine carts.

This is thanks to Wen Lin's experience of living in seclusion in the mountains for many years. In her spare time, she often goes to help the farmers at the foot of the mountain to farm, and she is very familiar with these agricultural tools.

In the end, she even painted some strange clothes styles.

Eggers was doing nothing by himself. Originally, he didn't bother to pay attention to what Wen Lin was doing. After seeing the exquisite drawings, he quietly moved closer and thought silently for a while.

It seems that in addition to his outstanding swordsmanship, this royal guard officer also possesses profound knowledge.

Rubbing her sore hands, Wen Lin put down her pen, just at this moment a boatmaker asked her for some details.

After answering patiently and meticulously, and after confirming that there was no problem many times, Wen Lin set a request for the shipyard to produce finished products within three months.

After leaving the shipyard, Wen Lin hurried to Yinhe Village. There were many things she had to do at the beginning, and it would take at least a few months to see results. Wen Lin felt a backlog of urgency in her heart.

Brown did not disappoint Wen Lin. In less than a day, he had already made a rough count of the 600 territorial citizens.

Basic gender, age, household registration, who has served, skills, etc.

Skills are the most important. Wen Lin browsed through the list, and she was surprised that there were masons, blacksmiths, boatmakers, carpenters, quarryers, etc., and even falconers.

There are also a few of them who can make spears, leather armor, swords and hammers, etc.

Let Brown go and call the masons over. Wen Lin flattened the construction model of Yinhe Village on the ground and sat on the ground, indicating that the master masons should also sit down.

At first they didn't dare to sit, but at Wen Lin's strong request, the masons sat down cautiously.

Unexpectedly close and easy-going, Wen Lin spoke very fast, but her thoughts were clear and there was no sense of oppression.

She put forward her requirements in great detail. The wooden houses should be demolished and built into stone houses, the narrow tarpaulin windows should be replaced with large glass windows, and each house should have at least three separate rooms, excluding separate bathrooms and toilets. , There are also basic fireplaces and chimneys.

Several people took a deep breath. After Wen Lin said all the requirements, they were shocked to the point of numbness, and said tremblingly,

"Lord Lord, are you sure these are the houses for us to live in?"

"Of course." Seeing their ecstatic expressions, Wen Lin also smiled.

After a long while, someone dared to ask, "I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money and time, are you really sure?"

Knowing their concerns, Wen Lin affirmed again, "Yes, don't worry about money, but the construction period should be shortened as much as possible, and you can't be allowed to sleep in the wild all the time."

It hasn't rained in the past few days, and I can still hold on. After waiting for a long time, I'm afraid it will be too late when it rains and snows.

Eggers behind Wen Lin's eyes seemed to fall off. He looked at the complete plan and heard Wen Lin's request clearly. It was unbelievable and unacceptable.

Even as an earl, if he wants to build the village that Wen Lin asked for, it will cost him at least five years of income from his entire territory.

Not to mention, with the expenses of so many people in the early stage, where did Wen Lin get so much money?

Brown was almost used to Wen Lin's behavior, he took a few deep breaths, his face was calm, he looked at Eggers who was in a state of shock and couldn't return to his senses, and secretly lowered his head and smiled.

He had a hunch that such bizarre scenes would only increase in the future.

Wen Lin had already said that you don't need to worry about money, so Brown's heart was half relieved. Hearing Wen Lin and the others discussing the issue of stones, Brown gently reminded,

"Lord Wen Lin, there is a rocky mountain on the edge of your territory that can be mined,"

Wen Lin nodded, and confirmed the location of the ditch in the village with the masons. According to their suggestions, she made some small changes.

Several masons walked back to the village in a daze, holding the sketches they copied just now, as if they were dreaming.

For them, it is already a great luxury to have a thatched hut to protect them from the wind and rain. When they are in the arena, they can only sleep on the cold and damp corridor.

However, how could there be lords willing to build solid and warm stone houses for these inferior people?

They looked at each other, tears streaming down their cheeks in ecstasy.

They walked into the crowd and told others the good news.

Immediately, the crowd boiled.

They looked at Wen Lin, who was always calm and indifferent, and many people silently bowed to Wen Lin in a very solemn manner.

Wen Lin nodded lightly in response, and then decided with Brown the staffing arrangements for half a month, which were mainly divided into quarrying and digging ditches.

The house is where everything starts.

Before leaving, Wen Lin handed all the blueprints she drew to Brown, and also left a box with about 2,000 gold Golan coins, enough for this time.

I told Brown to go to the craftsmen with good craftsmanship and study these drawings carefully. If you don't understand, wait for her to ask again, and at the same time pay attention to confidentiality.

Brown only took a few glances, and then solemnly put away the drawings.

Brown has acquiesced, but any strange things that Wen Lin has not seen before must be very important.

Wen Lin got on the horse and went back to the city, and Eggers followed her closely, her expression hard to describe.

Eggers found that within half a day, his impression of Wen Lin had undergone a very wonderful change.

Wen Lin is different from any other woman, her flexibility and perseverance cover up her gentle qualities as a woman. She is like a tireless horse, always moving forward energetically.

It is completely different from the noble ladies who drink tea and talk about gossip every day in the capital.

It seems that they are a little similar to His Majesty Vicia, they all break into the eyes of men with a determined and resolute attitude.

Eggers has never believed in the catholic rhetoric that despised women. On the contrary, he greatly admired such women.

At the same time, he was very contradictory, and Wen Lin's attitude towards the commoners seemed to be extraordinarily tolerant.

He was such a strange, unpredictable woman that Eggers finally came to this conclusion silently.

The paladin always followed behind Wen Lin, even though Wen Lin put on her cloak tightly, she still received a lot of fiery eyes after entering the royal city.

After what happened today, Wen Lin's story was not only talked about in the tavern, she could almost hear Wen Lin's name when she walked to a place where a crowd gathered.

People's evaluations of her, whether good or bad, are gradually going to extremes.

Those who praised her likened her to a savior, those who scolded her liked her to Satan, a sinner who must be burned at the stake.

I don't know if it's because of Lucches, those who scold her seem insignificant compared to those who praise her.

She even heard catholic followers praising her as she walked through the crowd.

This is not a good sign.

Wen Lin frowned and stopped the horse, turned her head and said to Eggers, "Your Excellency, you go back to the royal court first, and select the hundred most elite knights, and I will rush over as soon as possible."

It should be related to the action three days later, Eggers nodded, turned the horse's head and left.

Wen Lin headed towards St. Margaret's Church.

As soon as she dismounted, a priest stepped forward to greet her, "Priest Wen Lin, the bishop has been waiting for you,"

Nodding coldly, Wen Lin followed the priest into a dim room. As soon as she entered, she was attracted by the oil painting on the wall.

The woman in the portrait has an oriental face very similar to her. Wen Lin approached slowly, and an indescribable sense of familiarity filled her heart.

With a dry throat, Wen Lin asked in a deep voice, "Lucches, who is she?"

The author has something to say: ah ah ah, are you on vacation? are you on holiday?
