Although the royal family and the top ten lords are oppressing each other with an army, but from the report, both parties are not fully prepared and are not in a hurry to start fighting.
Based on Merria's understanding of the situation, this kind of confrontation will continue for at least three months.
"Why don't we make a bet on this ten thousand horses, if there is no war within three days, ten thousand horses will belong to you, how about all the wars belong to me?" Aslan said with interest.
Meriya narrowed her eyes slightly, and could not help but consider Aslan's bet.
"Okay, I bet with you." Melia finally decided to bet, she has absolute confidence.
Aslan immediately smiled triumphantly.
"Then you just wait and transport them the weapons and equipment first. The war horse is a rare thing. Bring it back first."
Meriya nodded, and immediately took out a list. This was the weapon and equipment they could mobilize now.
Aslan just glanced at it and said indifferently: "Merlot City will make up the rest! Recently, it just happened to produce a batch of weapons and there is no place to use it."
Recently, the hydraulic workshops have been fully started, and several workshops have been launched one after another. Presumably, hydraulic forging hammers, hydraulic machine tools, and hydraulic spinning wheels require much lower water flow speeds. Saxony has already suggested to Aslan to establish several workshops in the industrial zone. To accelerate the development of the textile industry.
Now the Merlot army has been completely changed, even the city defense army has all been replaced with a ring first knife, and the retired weapons are just to equip all the reserve corps and construction corps.
As for the weapons and equipment specially built for the top ten lords, a warehouse has been piled up.
When Meriya heard Aslan's words, she looked at Cruze subconsciously. It was obvious that there was something else that Cruze hadn't told her.
"You don't need to look at Cruz, he doesn't know many things, even if he knows it, he won't understand. It's useless to tell you." Aslan rarely said kindly.
Kruzer glanced at Aslan gratefully, but Aslan glanced at him with a look of disgust, and didn't want to bird this ‘strict wife’.
Nowadays, it is not only the major tribes, but even Meriya has opened an office in Merlot, but the name is not directly used by Gorland, but the Rocky Chamber of Commerce.
"I heard that you have recently produced a new kind of cloth called woolen cloth?" Meriya followed Aslan and asked curiously.
Aslan nodded in anger, snapped his fingers, and Nuomili took out a woolen army coat to Aslan, which was entirely in the style of the German army coat of World War II.
With Aslan's current height, coupled with this gray woolen coat, it is full of masculine demeanor.
Meriya's eyes lit up, and she subconsciously reached out to touch the material on the coat.
"Very comfortable fabric, it feels very warm!" Meriya said lightly.
Aslan nodded.
"This is the most military coat. It is mainly equipped for officers at all levels. How about it? Isn't it handsome?" Aslan said, pulling the collar very pompously.
Cruzer said with no ethics: "So handsome, so handsome!"
Aslan laughed loudly, but Kruzer couldn't laugh at the next sentence.
"What about mine?"
"Go! You are now the leader of the Gorland Army, how can you wear the uniform of our Merlot Army." Aslan said in an angry voice.
Meriya also didn't want to go into this matter further, because the winter was approaching, and their territory did not have enough winter clothes to survive the winter, so they planned to come here to buy a large number of cloths and go back.
If it was in previous years, Meriya could only try to get everyone together, but this year is different. She knows that Merlot has a new type of textile machine, and the production speed of cloth is dozens or even a hundred times that of other lords. Other lords may need Considering for the winter, Merlot definitely doesn't need it.
At least from the fact that many people on the street have put on winter clothes, it can be seen that there is no shortage of cloth in Merlot, and the price of cloth has reached a price that the people can afford.
"I am here this time to purchase at least ten thousand pieces of cloth and prepare for the coming winter." Meriya spoke again.
Aslan said with no anger, "How do you feel that you have ulterior motives every time you come!"
Cruzer nodded indifferently, but it made Meriya a little embarrassed.
"Yes, anyway, we already have a large reserve of sweaters, this winter should not freeze to death." Aslan said very confidently.
"Sweater? How about that thing and how effective is it to keep out the cold?" Merria immediately became interested.
Aslan pointed to the turtleneck sweater worn by a female soldier next to him.
"That's it, you'll know by asking yourself."
It was naturally impossible for Meriya, but after walking over and asking for a few simple questions, she let her eyes go.
After all, there is no such thing as cotton-padded clothes in this world, so there are only two kinds of clothes to keep out the cold in winter, one is the coat made of precious furs and animal skins, which can be worn by nobles and wealthy people.
The other is a two-layer fabric for ordinary people, with a coat made of poultry feathers or reeds in between.
The coat with feathers is okay, at least it is the predecessor of the down jacket, and it is naturally not necessary to say the warmth, but the kind of coat stuffed with reeds is hard to say.
Fortunately, the Gorland Plateau is already in the cold winter zone. The Gorland people have adapted to the cold winter, especially adult men, who are much more resistant to the cold winter, but children and women are not good. The cloth is prepared for the winter. Child and woman preparing.
"How do I sell sweaters?" Meriya asked eagerly.
Aslan spread his hands and said helplessly, "I don't know. Except for the one issued by the army, everything else is sold at a fixed price by the city hall. As long as the people have the cloth ticket, they can buy it at a discount. The price is different and you need to discuss it with the city hall."
Meriya nodded, and instantly understood what Aslan meant. She couldn't help but envy Aslan, the lord who was too relaxed, she was just throwing her hand at the shopkeeper.
After Aslan inspected his territory, and just returned to the City Lord's Mansion, he saw that Lancelot had been waiting for a long time.
Seeing Lancelot, Aslan's eyes drenched.
"Finally coming."
"What happened, you need to come here in person." Aslan asked lightly.
Nuomili was very cooperative and poured a cup of black tea for Aslan and Lancelot.
"The army led by Alonso has merged with the Xian army. No accident, the city will be attacked in three days." Lancelot drank the black tea from the cup and said solemnly.
Aslan's fingers slowly tapped on the table, making a dull noise.
Nuomili stood quietly behind Aslan, and she was now thinking about the night's things in her head.
"What's the situation in Billy City now?" Aslan asked.
