Chapter 152 Andrew

"Baron Abbott, these 'cans' are indeed what the kingdom's army needs."

Baron William's face looked much better than when they first met.

"So, how are they made?"

Naturally, it is best to have this kind of thing in your own hands.

Hansel put on an apologetic expression.

"Unfortunately, Lord Viscount, I don't know how cans are made. The inventor and maker of cans is Count Paul Greiman of Alda in the northwest bay. He just entrusted me as the royal commissioner to report The kingdom’s army promotes this processed food without saying a word about how it is made.”

Viscount William shook his head repeatedly: "This is such a pity, such a pity. This Earl should directly dedicate the production method to the royal family. Where has the loyalty of the current local lords to His Majesty the King gone? Is it possible? Have they all forgotten the oath their ancestors made to Rodney I?”

In fact, what really makes the viscount regretful is that the other party is a fiefdom noble or an earl, which makes it difficult to use strong methods to obtain the canning method, especially in such a sensitive period when the lords' rebellion occurs in southern Xinjiang.

Hansel secretly complained: The original oath did not say what the royal family wanted, so the lords had to hand it over obediently.

Baron William added: "Baron Abbott, please tell Earl Grayman that if he can provide the method of making cans, His Majesty the King will definitely reward him heavily."

"I will definitely tell Lord Grayman."

Hansel agreed, but thought in his heart: since when can a quartermaster make decisions for His Majesty the King? Besides, what's the use of such empty promises?

"So? The Kingdom's army is interested in this kind of army?"

"Interested? Of course."

The viscount rolled his eyes.

"But I don't know how big the production of cans is? You know, once the military decides to purchase, it will definitely not be a small amount."

Hansel said slightly uneasily: "Well... to be honest with Lord Viscount, the current production of cans is still relatively small. However, please don't worry, Lord Graiman is building an additional canning factory in his territory. At the latest, In February next year, we will be able to supply the Kingdom’s army on a large scale and continuously.”

I hope the group of businessmen mobilized by Grayman can be more powerful, Hansel prayed secretly.

Viscount William groped his chin for a while and then said: "Then let's wait until he can produce it in large quantities before talking about long-term purchases. However, you can provide us with a small amount of cans first and let the people in the army taste them first."

Hansel stood up and bowed to him.

"Thank you, Lord Viscount. I will send you another small batch of cans. When I return to the northwest, I will give them priority in production and delivery to the royal capital. Earl Grayman is still very loyal to His Majesty the King. I The first time I came back was to deliver a batch of grain to His Majesty the King. If the Kingdom’s army can purchase cans in large quantities, I believe that the Count would definitely provide an extremely low wholesale price.”

Viscount William nodded: "Huh! I hope so. But I have to explain something to you first."

"Please make it clear, Lord Viscount."

Viscount William thought for a moment and said slowly: "I am only responsible for the military supplies for the troops under Her Royal Highness the Princess. The supplies for the troops under the other generals are all handled by themselves. How to get them to accept canned goods, you have to figure out yourself."

Hansel wrote down this sentence, "Thank you for the reminder, Lord Viscount."

…

After bidding farewell to Viscount William's mansion, Hansel returned home directly.

As soon as he entered the house, a servant reported to him: "A guest claiming to be Baron Andrew came to visit you. I told him that you were out today and asked him to come back another day, but he insisted on waiting for you to come back."

"Earl Andrew? I don't seem to know such a person."

"The accent sounds like he's from the northwest. We thought he might be related to you, so we asked him to wait for you in the living room."

"Take me to meet this Baron Andrew."

Hansel suddenly thought of Baron Andrew, a vassal from the earldom of Bailding in the northwest bay.

According to Count Myron Garnard, Baron Andrew should be the only vassal who did not participate in the rebellion. Viscount Angelo and others elected him to lead the troops directly under the Garnard family to the south to participate in the royal family's counter-insurgency war in the name of King Qin. Taking this as a reason, he led the private soldiers of various families to control Butuya, the capital of Bailding.

Before and after Paul led the army to crush Bailding's rebellion, Baron Andrew never returned with his troops.

Previously, it was because his master Myron Garnard "issued" an order to him: to assist the royal family to quell the rebellion before returning. However, under the current situation, quelling the rebellion is still far away. Moreover, according to the exchange of letters, it was learned that Baron Andrew had performed well and was entrusted with important tasks by Her Royal Highness the Princess. Therefore, after the fire in the granary of the royal capital, the Bailding army was not sent home like most of King Qin's army.

After that, Myron regained his freedom. The people of Alda were worried about what troubles Baron Andrew would cause after he returned with his troops, so they asked Myron to write to him personally. In addition to telling him that Angelo and others had launched a rebellion but had been defeated. In addition to pacifying, he also reiterated his previous orders, After assisting the royal family to put down the rebellion, he returned. In order to appease Andrew, he asked his family to write a letter and send it together. In short, he said: There was a little trouble at home, but it has been resolved. You can fight on the front line with peace of mind. Thank you on behalf of Erdin is loyal to His Majesty the King.

There is no mistake. One post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, one read!

In this way, Baron Andrew and his Bailding army remained in the south.

Hansel came to the drawing room and saw Baron Andrew who had been waiting for him - a strong man with a resolute look and a dignified appearance.

Hansel first introduced himself: "I am Hansel Abbott. Does Baron Andrew have anything to do with me?"

Baron Andrew immediately stood up and greeted him: "It's an honor to meet you, Baron Abbott. I heard that you are the royal commissioner who is stationed in Alda next door to us?"

Hansel asked him to sit down again, and he sat opposite Andrew. He nodded and confirmed: "Exactly, I am visiting the royal capital for official business this time, and I will leave soon to return to the Northwest Bay."

Baron Andrew expressed emotion: "There are very few people who are as loyal to their duties as Baron Abbott. After the royal commissioner who was stationed at Bailding found an excuse to return to Jingyao, he disappeared. I heard that There is more than one example of this.”

Hansel complained in his heart: "The lords everywhere want to stare at their commissioners all day long and get out early. Doesn't this just fulfill their wishes?"

Just listen to Andrew continue to say: "I have learned about the rebellion of Angelo and others from the letter sent to me by Lord Gardner. Although I usually dislike them, I still didn't expect that they actually violated my own rules." What a disgrace to a knight."

"Fortunately, Count Greyman sent troops in time to quell this gang of traitors. As expected, Lord Garnard's friendship with this ally was not in vain. I ask Baron Abbott to convey his gratitude to me when he returns."

Hansel smiled and nodded in agreement: "Haha, it's easy to talk about. I will definitely convey your thoughts to Lord Grayman."

The two continued to talk for a long time, and Hansel judged from the other party's words:

He really didn't know the conspiracy of Angelo and others;

The Baron always considered himself a knight, and was a bit...naive in politics.

In a way, such a person is quite cute.

The two chatted happily, and in the end, Hansel agreed to do a small favor for the other party - to bring a large number of letters back to the northwest bay, most of which were letters home written by the soldiers of Bailding.
