Rise of the Empire Total War

The wedding went smoothly. On the second day after the spring night, the grooms were personally led outside the city by the officials of the kingdom to choose the land they wanted. Since they were the first batch of newcomers, the land they could own was less than that of subsequent comrades-in-arms. There are more of them, and the land selected is of better quality and location.

After they finish the selection, a new scroll recording the land ownership will be distributed to the newcomers, and they can choose whether to cultivate or build a manor on their own land.

Of course, as long as they have money.

It is naturally impossible for Richard to pay for the construction of these soldiers, but he still came up with a way to let the treasurer, Volkoma, open up loans and allow the soldiers to borrow money from the government for construction. They may be able to use the previously obtained Part of the repayment is made from the spoils of war, but in the end the money still needs to be repaid by the economic income obtained from land cultivation-there is no need to pay taxes for the first three years of acquiring the land, but taxes and repayments must be paid later. ...

While the soldiers were getting married, Richard also sent his diplomatic chief, Ornus von Frank, to leave Nord City with the mission and head towards Ravana, the capital of the Kingdom of Ravana. Ornus' mission It is very clear that the time for the marriage of the two countries has been determined.

Onus is very confident about his trip. Given the relationship between the two countries, this visit is only symbolic. And this is indeed the case. After half a month's journey, Ornus successfully entered the city of Ravana. The prosperity of the heart city of the Kingdom of Ravana has recovered a lot, and the damaged city walls and urban buildings have also been completed. Reconstruction, there are almost no traces of the outbreak of war.

Out of respect for King Winster, the Chief Diplomat of Ravana went out of the city to meet the Ornus mission in person, and placed the mission in an empty house in the aristocratic area. The Ravana Diplomat named Strong Peters The steward then led Ornus to the Trizzi Palace. In the main hall of the Trizzi Palace, Queen Stephanie had already set up a banquet and attended in all her costumes, waiting for his arrival.

Looking at this beautiful foreign queen, Onus stood in the center of the hall, stroked his chest and saluted, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty Queen Stephanie, I am Onus, Chief of Foreign Affairs of His Majesty King Richard of Winster. Von Frank, it is an honor to attend your banquet."

"Honorable Minister of Foreign Affairs Ornus, on behalf of the Kingdom of Ravana, I welcome your visit. In the name of the profound friendship between the two countries, I believe you will have good memories of your trip in Ravana City."

Then, under Queen Stephanie's hand gesture, a servant bowed and led Ornus to his position. After reaching his position, the latter saluted again and sat down generously. After all the guests were seated, the singer and the drama troupe quickly entered the stage, and performed under the direction of the court chief. At the same time, the musical instruments on both sides of the hall also played, and the beautiful sound of the musical instruments resounded throughout the hall.

The food prepared at the feast is a very common medieval "gourmet", such as pea soup made of mashed peas with small pieces of meat, fresh herb soup, chicken with fennel, roast pork leg and liver crepe, etc. Why should Put double quotes on the food, because the taste of these foods is really not very good-but for Ornus, a native of medieval Germany, the taste of these foods is still qualified.

One thing I forgot to mention is that after becoming the ruler of the Ravana Kingdom, Stephanie personally wrote a letter asking Richard to send a priest to preach to her court, so as to be able to spread the influence of Christianity, which is what Richard wished for , so he readily accepted Stephanie's request, and sent a one-star priest—don't underestimate the power of a one-star priest, he is like a highly contagious virus, and soon spread to the palace of the Kingdom of Ravana. Most of the people converted to Christ.

Therefore, the prayer before the meal of the Dali religion who believed in the magic deer was cancelled, and replaced by a prayer of praising God.

By the end of the happy and lively banquet, it was already night, and under the arrangement of the court steward, Ornus, who was already drunk, rode a carriage back to the manor where the mission stayed.

Someone saw with his own eyes that a woman helped him into the room, and he did not come out all night.

On the second day, Ornus woke up and walked out of the room refreshed. After washing and eating, he took a carriage to the Trizzi Palace to meet Queen Stephanie and her loyal foreign affairs chief.

"His Majesty Queen Stephanie, Honorable Chief of Foreign Affairs Strong, good day." Onus stood in the center of the palace, saluted gracefully, and said.

"Good day, Your Excellency the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ornus." Queen Stephanie said indifferently, and she then asked: "Your Excellency, I wonder if my dear cousin sent you here. What new plan does it have?"

"Yes, Your Majesty the Queen." Onus said, "Your Majesty the King sent me to visit your country to agree on the specific time for the wedding of the kings of the two countries."

"Oh?" Stephanie's eyes flashed with imperceptible joy, and she asked, "Does your country have any plans for the wedding date of the kings of the two countries?"

"Your Majesty, we hope to complete the wedding before the end of the year, and the specific date is set on December 25th, the day of Christmas."

"Christmas?" Hearing this, Stephanie couldn't help but let out an exclamation. How could she not know the influence of Christmas after she converted to Christianity? The most important wedding.

"Yes, Your Majesty the Queen." Ornus explained, "Christmas is the most important festival for all Christians, so His Majesty the King wants to complete the wedding on this day, not only to celebrate the birthday of Saint Jesus Christ, but also to let This wedding is affected and more sacred."

As soon as Ornus finished speaking, Stephanie exchanged glances with her loyal foreign affairs chief, as if receiving instructions, the latter immediately said: "The date set by your country has really brought us a profound impact. Surprise, we accept the wedding on December 25th, the day Jesus Christ was born."

"But." He changed the subject and continued: "After the date is set, I would like to ask your country where the wedding will be held, whether it is the city of Ravana, the capital of our king, or Nord, the capital of your king. city?"

"Of course it's Nord City." Onus said with a smile on his face. "The leading party of this big wedding is our country, so the wedding location must be in Nord City."

"I don't think it's appropriate." Strong frowned and said, "I think the wedding should be held in Ravana City. According to the Christian tradition, the wedding should be held in the church, but Nord City has not yet built one. A church, and the city of Ravana already has a church."

Strong's reason seemed impeccable, but Ornus still smiled and said, "Then why not hold it in Nuremberg, Nuremberg has the world's first church, not to mention, it is the first fief of His Majesty the King, Queen Stephanie of your country also lived there with His Majesty the King for several years."
