Chapter 683 Knight Recruitment
Everyone looked at Sisi in surprise. Although Sisi is now listening in as the second wife in the conference room, everyone knows that she is basically just listening in. It is very inappropriate for a woman to interfere in politics, so in this kind of meeting It is very dangerous to put forward opinions online, because in this case the Duke can divorce his wife at any time, not to mention that the two have not yet held a wedding.
Because Sisi treats people well at ordinary times, several ministers here are looking at Sisi with a little worry. This behavior is really very bad. Even if you have any opinions, it is best to raise them in private. To raise opinions in this kind of meeting, It is not an exaggeration to say that you are involved in politics.
However, Li Huailin didn't think about it. Seeing Sisi raised his hand, it was a little strange, so he asked, "Oh? You have something to do too? What's the matter?"
"That's right, my lord, our family has not established a knight order until now, and there is no one with a knight title. I think this is a very inappropriate behavior. Because the cabinet has just been established, everyone is busy with this matter. Forget it temporarily, but now that everything has stabilized, I think the Cavaliers should be established immediately." Ceci said.
"Oh?" If Sisi didn't say this, Li Huailin would have really forgotten it. Thinking about it, as a duke, he didn't have many younger brothers, and he seemed to have said that after the last battle, he would give Lei Huai He asked them to be knighted, so he nodded, "Well...you are right."
Reg on the side immediately looked at Sisi with emotion. The second lady was fighting for him, even at the risk.
"My lord, since you want to entrust the knights, you need to determine the number of people. I will immediately plan the entrusted land." The Minister of Internal Affairs, Gert, said immediately.
"Are you sure about the number of people? Is there anything to pay attention to?" Li Huailin asked.
"My lord, I suggest that the number of entrusted knights be kept below 10 for the first time. After all, it is the first knight entrustment of the Aquitaine family, so these entrusted knights must be carefully selected." Minister of Internal Affairs Gert said, "I recommend the Minister of Military Affairs, Reg, to serve as the Knight Commander. He will select suitable personnel."
"I will always be loyal to the Duke." Reg here hastily stated his position.
"Well." Li Huailin nodded, "So, Reg, you will be the first knight of our family."
"Thank you, Lord Duke, for your trust in me." At this time, Reg's loyalty has not yet dropped, because it is only a verbal statement now, and the real ceremony of entrusting him has not yet been held.
"Then quickly make a list for me to see. By the way, include Bruno." Li Huailin said.
"Yes, my lord." Reg said here. "But my lord duke, with all due respect,
Although our family has a large number of soldiers, there is a shortage of highly skilled knights. "
"Yeah, isn't this nonsense, Bruno is the only one in the entire army who can still fight. If you can't find a second one, okay?" Li Huailin said.
"Yes, my lord." Reg said, "I think the main reason for this is that our family has been established for too short a time, and there is a lack of confidants."
"Nonsense, I also know." Li Huailin said, "Is there any solution?"
"Yes, my lord." Reg said here. "So I think we should absorb other outstanding personnel, and take advantage of this opportunity to absorb them as part of our Aquitaine family."
"Isn't it just recruiting new people? There's nothing wrong with that, but aren't we always doing special work?" Li Huailin asked.
"My lord, the recruitment of knights is different from the recruitment of our civil servants." Gert next to him saw that Li Huailin didn't understand, so he explained, "As long as our civil servants recruit, people will naturally come to apply for the job, but they have never heard of it. I said that someone came to apply for a knight."
"Yes, Lord Lord. Knights cannot be recruited like soldiers. The truly capable knights are cultivated by their own family. Of course, our family can't do it now, but there is another way to choose, and that is to recruit the poor or go into exile. The knight." Said Reg on the side.
"That's fine, as long as you can fight, you can also be in exile." Li Huailin said. "Let's recruit."
"But my lord, none of the knights is willing to recommend themselves. Even if they go into exile, they still have the honor and shame of being a knight." Reg said.
"Oh. Got it, I just can't let go of face, right?" Li Huailin said, "Then what should we do?"
"My lord, in fact, regular knight competitions will be held in various places. At the meeting, I will show my strength, and then be recruited by the nobles. In this way, I can actually get recruited by my own strength, not by pity." Reg Said.
"Oh, that's right." Li Huailin nodded, this is the so-called chivalry, anyway, I don't understand.
"In fact, the largest knight competition in our empire is about to be held recently, so I suggest that the lord can go there and have a look, maybe you can recruit a few good knights." Reg said.
"The largest in the empire? Does that mean the knights produced are of the best quality?" Li Huailin asked.
"Uh... It can be explained in this way." Reg said here.
"Well, it's really not easy to find a few younger brothers who can fight." Li Huailin said, "When and where?"
"Oh, it's tomorrow, and the location is the main city." Reg replied.
"I'll wipe it, tomorrow?" Li Huailin was taken aback, "Are you in such a hurry?"
"Yes, it's tomorrow." Reg said, "Is the lord going to take a look? If the news is released, there should be many powerful knights participating in the competition."
Li Huailin thought about it for a while, and it seems that there is nothing to do tomorrow. Now his mentor can't find anyone, and the equipment is enough for the time being. The pet egg is still waiting for news, so he is free tomorrow, so he nodded, "Okay, Go and see tomorrow."
"Okay, my lord, I will arrange it immediately." Reg nodded.
"Since that's the case, I'll wait until I finish reading it tomorrow to confirm the matter of the knight. Is there anything else?" Li Huailin asked.
Several ministers looked around, and it seemed that nothing was wrong. Now the development of the territory is fairly stable, and the financial resources are sufficient, so there is no problem.
"Okay then, everyone, do your own thing well, and report to me if there is any situation. I'm going to see Anthony now." Li Huailin said.
"Yes, my lord." Everyone stood up and replied.
At the end of the meeting, Li Huailin left the Duke's Mansion alone, then took the teleportation array to the main city, and headed directly to the inner city. Soon the soldiers in the inner city here discovered Li Huailin. Hearing that the Duke of Aquitaine had something important to do with His Royal Highness, the guards immediately notified Anthony while leading the way for Li Huailin.
It was already night at this time, and the inner city of the palace has been closed to be precise. There is no emergency that cannot be entered, but Li Huailin is an exception, because Anthony said that Li Huailin can enter and leave the palace at any time without any obstacles, so The soldiers had no intention of stopping Li Huailin, and immediately led him to the inner palace.
After waiting for a while, King Anthony here appeared, hugged Li Huailin with a smile on his face, and said, "Huilin, have you come to see me for so long?"
"I'm an adventurer and a part-time Duke, do you think I'm free?" Li Huailin replied casually.
"Hahaha, this is the first time I've heard that the duke is part-time." Anthony smiled and said, "Then I'm not the thief leader and part-time king."
"You have resigned from the job of the thief leader, and now you are full-time king." Li Huailin said, "I am different. I can't quit the job of an adventurer. I have been sitting."
"Haha, yes." Anthony smiled, "Well, it seems that you didn't come to me this time to catch up on the past. I heard it was something urgent, what is it?"
"Look at this first." Li Huailin handed over the letter he found from Ella.
"This is?" Anthony over here took a look, but he was confused, and he didn't understand what was going on.
"Actually, this time I'm here..." Li Huailin immediately told Anthony about the situation he encountered, but the situation on Nemea's side was naturally hidden, and he just said to save Anna.
"What? You said this is Rain's letter? Who is this Romerig in the letter?" Anthony's face also became serious.
"Oh? How do I know? I thought it was some high-ranking official in the main city. Rain here persuaded her to rebel with him, didn't he?" Li Huailin asked.
"I've never heard of an official named Romerig." Anthony said, "But Romerig's name seems to be somewhat impressive, wait...Dernate, go and call the queen."
"Yes." The guard knight Delnate standing at the door nodded immediately.
Soon, Queen Marina rushed over.
"Queen, look at this letter, is it your father's handwriting?" Anthony said.
"Let me take a look." Marina nodded, then took a look at it immediately, and then frowned, "It's strange... the tone seems a bit similar, but the handwriting is not."
"No?" Both Li Huailin and Anthony said in surprise.
"That's right, because the handwriting looks a bit like that of my sister Fang Selin..." Malina thought for a while and said.
"Francelin?" Li Huailin had a little impression, he had done her mission, and she led him into the palace.
"And..." Marina here pointed to Romerig's name on the letter and said, "I just heard about this Romerig recently."
"Oh? Who is he?" Li Huailin and Anthony asked at the same time.
