"Baron Abbott, these 'cans' are indeed what Kingdom Army needs."
Baron William's face looks 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 the cans are made. The inventor and maker of the cans is Count Paul Greiman of Northwest Bay Alarda Territory. He only entrusted me as Royal Commissioner to sell this processed food to the Kingdom Army, but he didn't mention a word about how to make it."
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 are the current local lords' loyalty to His Majesty the King? Have they all forgotten the oath their ancestors made to Rodney I?"
In fact, what really makes Viscount regretful is that the other party is a fiefdom noble or an earl, so it is difficult to obtain the canning method with strong methods, especially in such a sensitive period when South Border Region has a lord rebellion.
Hansel secretly complained: The original oath did not say what Royal Family liked, so the lords had to hand it over obediently.
Baron William added, "Baron Abbott, please tell Earl Greiman that if he can provide the method of making cans, His Majesty the King will definitely reward him heavily."
"I will definitely tell Lord Greiman."
Hansel agreed, but in his heart he thought: since when can a quartermaster make decisions for His Majesty the King? Besides, what's the use of such empty promises?
"So? Kingdom Army is interested in this kind of army?"
"Interested? Of course."
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 Mr. Viscount, the current production of cans is still relatively small. However, please don't worry, Lord Greiman is building an additional canning factory in his territory. By February next year at the latest, Kingdom Army will be able to be supplied on a large scale and continuously and stably."
I hope the group of businessmen mobilized by Greiman will be more effective, Hansel prayed secretly.
Viscount William fumbled his chin for a while and then said, "Then let's wait until he can mass-produce it before talking about long-term purchase. However, you can provide us with a small amount of cans first and let the people in the army taste it first."
Hansel stood up and bowed to him.
"Thank you, Mr. Viscount. I will send you a small batch of cans. When I return to the northwest, I will give them priority in production and delivery for Royal Capital. Earl Greiman vs. His Majesty the King is still very loyal. I came back this time to deliver a batch of grain dedicated to His Majesty the King. If Kingdom Army can purchase cans in large quantities, the count will definitely provide an extremely low wholesale price."
Viscount William nodded. "Humph! I hope so. But I have to explain one thing to you first."
"Master Viscount, please make it clear."
Viscount William thought about it and said slowly, "I am only responsible for the military supplies for the troops under 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 your own way."
Hansel wrote down this sentence, "Thank you for the reminder, Master Viscount."
After saying goodbye to Viscount William's mansion, Hansel went straight back home.
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."
"Andrew Count? 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 a certain vassal of Baron Andrew——Northwest Bay Bairdin Territory.
According to Count Mellon Garnard, Baron Andrew should be the only vassal who did not participate in the rebellion. Viscount Anqiluo and others elected him to lead Garnard Family in the name of Aid the King The troops directly under went south to participate in the Rebellion Suppression War of the Royal Family, and used this as a reason to lead the private soldiers of each family to control the Bairdin capital Butuya.
Before and after Paul led the army to crush the Bairdin rebellion, Baron Andrew never returned with his troops.
Before, it was because his master Mellon Garnard "issued" an order to him: to assist Royal Family to put down the rebellion before returning. However, under the current situation, putting down 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 Princess. Therefore, after the Royal Capital granary fire incident, the Bairdin troops were not sent home like most of the Aid the King troops.
After that, Mellon regained his freedom. Everyone in Arda was worried about what troubles this Baron Andrew would cause after he returned with his troops, so they asked Mellon to write to him personally. In addition to telling him that Anqiluo and others had launched a rebellion but had been put down, they also reiterated the previous He gave the order to assist Royal Family in putting down the rebellion before returning. In order to appease Andrew, he also 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, and be loyal to His Majesty the King on behalf of Bairdin.
In this way, Baron Andrew and his Bairdin army remained in the south.
Hansel came to the living room and saw Baron Andrew who had been waiting for him - a strong man with a resolute expression and a dignified appearance.
Hansel first introduced himself, "I am Hansel·Abbott, Baron Andrew, what do you want from me?"
Baron Andrew immediately stood up and said hello to him, "It's an honor to meet you, Baron Abbott. I heard that you are the Royal Commissioner who was stationed next door to us Arda?"
Hansel asked him to sit down again, and he also sat opposite Andrew. He nodded and confirmed. "Exactly, I came to Royal Capital for official business this time, and I will leave for Northwest Bay soon."
Baron Andrew expressed emotion. "There are very few people who are as loyal to their duties as Baron Abbott. Royal Commissioner, who was assigned to our Bairdin, just found a reason to return to Crystal Radiance, and disappeared. I heard that there was more than one case of this phenomenon."
Hansel complained in his heart, "The lords from all over the world wish that their commissioners who have been staring at them all day should get out of here. Isn't this just what they want?"
Just listen to Andrew continue to say, "I have learned about the rebellion of Anqiluo and others from the letter Ganard-sama gave me. Although I usually dislike them, I still didn't expect that they violated their oath. It is really a shame for knights."
"Fortunately, Earl Greiman sent troops in time to suppress this gang of traitors. Ganard-sama did not pay this ally brother in vain. Please Baron Abbott convey your gratitude to me when you return."
Hansel smiled and nodded in agreement, "Haha, easy to say, I will definitely convey your thoughts to Lord Greiman."
The two continued to talk for a long time, and Hansel judged from the other party's words: He really did not know the conspiracy of Anqiluo and others; this baron always regarded himself as a knight, and was a bit... naive in politics.
In a way, such a person is quite cute.
The two chatted happily, and finally, Hansel agreed to do a small favor for each other - to bring a lot of letters back to Northwest Bay, most of which were letters from home that Bairdin Soldiers had asked others to write for them.
