Kanmen.


    A group of inland river flat bottomed boats full of grain just got close to the dilapidated wharf. A group of soldiers, like tigers and wolves, rushed onto the wharf. An officer at the head yelled: "hold these boats for me!"


    The sailors on board were startled and quickly explained in a loud voice:


    "this is the grain transported to Chaka town..."


    "This is the grain purchased by the rose Army..."


    In the past, as long as the word "Rose Legion" is printed in the newspaper, there will be no one in the territory where the fleet passes, and the route will be unimpeded.


    Since the defeat of the black Orc army, the reputation of the rose Legion has spread all over the kingdom of Qianhu. Along with the chamber of Commerce serving the rose legion, it has also gained a lot of convenience.


    However, to the surprise of the sailors, the old strategy of trying all kinds of larks is now completely invalid.


    The officer sneered, drew out his sabre, waved it, and yelled:


    "I suspect that you are suspected of tax evasion. Can you evade tax by delivering grain to the rose army? Soldiers, come on


    The soldiers immediately jumped into the boat in groups and punched and kicked the sailors mercilessly.


    The city of Copernicus, the castle of the Duke of Byron.


    "Father, Renault has been staying in the town of Chaka for a long time. They are not willing to move the army northward. Everyone is dissatisfied." Said Carrick, looking at Duke Byron, who was sitting at his desk.


    "Oh? What do you think? " Prince Byron closed his books, raised his head and looked at his eldest son without expression.


    "The cost of the rose army is almost entirely borne by us. We should respect everyone''s opinions when Renault is crowned. We should not just search for people everywhere." Carrick replied.


    There was a faint sense of indignation in his voice when it came to the words "search for the population".


    Prince Byron didn''t speak. He carefully took off his glasses and gazed and thought.


    This kind of presbyopia is the latest product of Haichao chamber of Commerce.


    Glass manufacturing technology has already appeared in foreign countries. Craftsmen also know how to use glass to grind lenses and make presbyopia glasses. Although the cost is high, glasses are still popular in aristocratic circles, which is not a rare thing.


    However, the industries in which Haichao chamber of commerce is involved will bring about some revolutionary changes, such as steel smelting industry and glasses industry.


    This pair of presbyopia glasses worn by Duke Byron are not thick and heavy glass lenses, but light resin lenses.


    The idea naturally came from Renault.


    After seeing the glasses of different worlds, he casually said, "you can use resin to make lenses", which was firmly remembered by Goodall.


    As a result, a few months later, resin lenses were born.


    In addition, the frame material is not a traditional wooden frame, but a lightweight metal frame.


    Thanks to Haichao collar''s advanced precision processing technology, this metal frame is made of thin wire, with extremely light weight and beautiful patterns carved on the surface.


    In contrast, wooden glasses are bulky and ugly, and they are 18 blocks away from metal glasses in appearance.


    The slim lens, light frame and novel design make Haichao brand glasses popular very quickly. By the way, the jobs of a group of craftsmen are in danger.


    The way that Haichao chamber of commerce promotes it is very interesting. Employees of the chamber of Commerce hold up their glasses in front of customers, release their hands, and let them fall to the ground, but the glasses are intact.


    Instead of the traditional glass glasses, the lenses must be torn apart.


    Amazing "carry fall", as well as the same amazing "face value", let Haichao brand glasses quickly conquer everyone.


    The Duke of Byron is one of them.


    Although the glasses need to be customized, the delivery time is long, and the price is as high as five jinnals, which is two times more expensive than the traditional glasses, there is still an endless stream of nobles and businessmen who come to Haichao chamber of Commerce to order glasses, and the order volume shows an explosive growth.


    By virtue of his relationship with Goodall, the Duke got the priority of delivery. From the moment he put on the glasses, the glasses became one of the most beloved objects of the Duke.


    "So, Carrick, what do you think we should do?" Asked the Duke, wiping the lens with a piece of flannel.


    "Father, what we mean is to collectively suggest to mianxia that they send troops as soon as possible to recapture the alligator tooth fortress. After all, it''s getting closer and closer to the harvest month. Once the black orcs get enough food, they will send their troops South..."


    "I''m asking you what you mean, not what you mean by ''everybody''!" The Duke interrupted the eldest son coldly.


    "What do I mean?" Carrick was stunned and said, "I I also think we should urge him to go north as soon as possible... "


    "Alas The Duke sighed and threw the flannel on the table. "Did you take part in the blocking of the grain ship?"


    Carrick shook his head."I want to hear the truth!" The Duke raised his voice.


    "Father, I really didn''t attend." Carrick said wrongly, "but I think this method is right. We should put pressure on Renault to let him know our dissatisfaction."


    "Besides, father, you are the deputy commander of the rose army, and you are qualified to command the army..."


    The Duke ignored him and asked another question:


    "if I guess well, it should be count Weaver''s plan, right?"


    Carrick nodded in a daze. He didn''t understand why his father suddenly mentioned this topic.


    The Duke suddenly said in a tone of hatred:


    "Carrick, how could I have such a stupid son as you?"


    "Don''t you understand that as long as the Byron family suggests sending troops as soon as possible, coronation will think that we have nothing to do with the matter of" blocking the grain carrier "


    "Don''t you understand that count Weaver''s intention is to drag the Byrons into the water? Is that good for the Byron family? "


    Carrick was surprised, and then he retorted somewhat unconvinced:


    "father, since you don''t want to put pressure on the crown, why do you take the initiative to contact his Majesty''s special envoy? Why would you like to reconcile with the royal family? "


    The Duke laughed angrily:


    "do you know why I married your daughter Deborah to muse Theron?"


    "Why did count Weaver let all his knights join the rose army?"


    "Why is Lord Kenneth, the head of the Knights'' order led by count weaver, the bravest and most extraordinary fighter in the rose army?"


    This series of questions, asked Carrick tongue tied, do not know how to answer.


    The Duke glared at his eldest son and offered the answer:


    "neutral!"


    "The Byron family''s purpose is neutrality, and count Weaver''s position is also neutrality."


    It suddenly dawned on Carrick.


    He instantly understood why his father, on the one hand, married Deborah to muse, on the other hand, he took the initiative to reconcile with the king.


    He also understood count Weaver''s intention.


    The gentleman also had the same idea. Count Weaver wanted all the knights to join the rose army to show his kindness to the crown and encourage others to fight against the crown. I''m afraid it''s not the intention of count Weaver.


    Carrick looked up and asked:


    "is count Weaver..."


    "You''re right." The Duke nodded, affirming the eldest son''s conjecture, "count Weaver is very likely..."


    Half an hour later, a bird fluttered into the sky.


    The old man scolded Carrick A middle-aged man looked at the note in his hand and murmured.


    After pondering for a while, he waved to the housekeeper and ordered something.


    "Inform Kenneth..."


    "


    " count Weaver was under the pressure of the king and was forced to go around? " Renault looked at Kenneth strangely. "So, that''s why count Weaver blocked the grain ship?"


    "Yes, under the crown." Kenneth said in a loud voice, "please believe that count Weaver does not mean to fight against you, but as a nobleman of the Kingdom, he sometimes has to submit to the royal family..."


    Renault shook his head.


    The more he dealt with the nobles, the more he felt that these guys were all human beings, and they were a group of grass on the wall, with wind blowing on both sides.


    Both the treacherous Duke of Byron and the count of weaver are typical examples.


    Their way of doing things is often contradictory, which makes it difficult to judge what their real intention is.


    So, for Kenneth''s words, Renault didn''t believe it and couldn''t believe it.


    He thought for a moment, and said faintly:


    "listen, Kenneth, I don''t care what count Weaver wants to do. You tell the count that in two days, I will see the fleet of grain carriers in Chaka town."


    Kenneth nodded quickly.


    Renault glanced at him and said:


    "I know you want the rose army to attack the alligator tooth fortress as soon as possible, but as I have said, I am the commander of the rose army. It''s up to me when to attack the alligator tooth fortress. No one else has the right to comment!"
