Miss Louisa From the Valley of the Wind

Recruiting Soldiers

"Head of Guards Jack, can you make an announcement for the recruitment of the royal recruits? Training will start in three days for those who qualify."

"What are the requirements Miss?"

"A minimum age of Sixteen years. Maximum of forty-five years. able-bodied. That's all it is"

"What about the amount of salary we're offering, miss?"

"Hemm. We're going to town hall now. This should be discussed with the head of the finance department and uncle Landen"

They walked to the town hall, and entered into the room of the head of the finance department.

Tok.dok...

"Miss, sir. Let's sit there" Willi Donzen said kindly.

"Can I help you, miss?"

"Certain uncle. But wait a minute, we're waiting for Uncle Landen" rich Louisa.

Before entering the town hall, Louisa had asked a bodyguard to call Landen who was being trained by Reneism.

Tok.dok...

"Mr Landen please sit down"

"Thank you. Is something going on?" he said he was confused to arrive at the request to go to the finance department room.

"Not even uncle. Before coming here, we were already discussing about escort during the ceremony at the ancestral house. According to the head of Jack's bodyguards, the number of our bodyguards is only two hundred people. And we don't think that'll be enough, given the communities that will gather maybe thousands."

"So we have discussed about increasing the number of bodyguards by recruiting large numbers. After the completion of the ceremony, these guards would be completely forged into royal warriors. "

"Some will be placed on the border of the kingdom, some will be used as bodyguards for several other cities. Who became a royal soldier, his wages were certainly made by the kingdom, and who became a city guard his wages were paid by the city he controlled"

"It became our question so we came here to discuss, what is the appropriate wage range that we offer" explained Louisa at length .

"How much did the bodyguards pay for Uncle Jack?"

"We were paid the wages of the menial laborers, except for the commanders and myself"

"The average salary for a manual laborer per day is twenty-five to thirty-five bronze coins. So one month is about seven hundred fifty to one thousand fifty bronze coins or seven and a half to ten and a half silver coins a month" Willi Donzen said.

"So if we take the middle ground, eight silver coins a month for a temporary salary, is there a financial constraint on Uncle Willi?"

"How much do you think the number of soldiers that Miss recruited?"

"Now there are two hundred bodyguards. We need four hundred to five hundred more"

"That's a lot huh. Eight hundred people times eight silver coins means sixty-four gold coins every month. Not to mention the commander... Seventy gold coins must be provided. No problem for a while, miss."

"Some of it we'll send to other cities like I said, uncle. So in the future we can reduce the cost"

"For your own men's salary how Lorine" Landen asked as he looked at Light and his friend.

"For all the members of the Power of Night I alone will bear it. Because they're not tied to the kingdom, but to me. Maybe if the condition of the Valley of the Wind is right as I expected, then I will leave it to the kingdom."

"meaning ?Was it a time in Gordon's kingdom that they weren't tied to Gordon's palace?"

"Not Jack's head. We the power of night are the hidden members of chairman Lorine. We were already formed, many years before chief Lorine became empress. And as for the salary, for now the Valley of the Wind has not been able to pay us."

"Already, if it has been agreed that way. Jack, you take care of that. Paste some announcements in the middle of the city and also the surrounding city. Because if we take it from a distant city it will take a long time"

"If there had been a sender of a message here that could soon arrive like when I was alive. Not a cell phone, or more behind a pigeon post maybe. Ah.. pigeon post.I thought I could train him here. For now, that's the best solution"in Louisa.

"Deep, Light, Shadow, Marco you go with Jack's head. Train the guards already. Create a royal warrior training mode. They already have a good foundation, just need to be improved again. And look for superior seedlings that may not be seen so far to be formed into the commander of the army later"

"Good chief" they answered in unison and went out of the room with the head of the squad.

"If so, uncle also left. It turned out that Renesime was terrible enough for a teacher" Landen whispered in Louisa's ear.

Louisa laughs.

"More terrible uncle Maxim uncle."

"What??"

"Uncle's gone, before Ren's mom gets picked up here"

"Yes.yes .. I'm leaving" he said quickly stepping out of the room.

"Mrs Reneism looks meek miss. Why is Lord Landen so afraid?"

"Mother Ren is indeed a gentle valley, but if acting as a teacher, she is a very strict person. Perhaps Ren's mother was the only person other than the queen mother who dared to scold King Peter for daring to joke while we practiced"

"Even to King Peter, Mrs Ren is brave. Wah .." said Chief Willi shaking his head.

"For Ren's mother, when he was a teacher or trainer he was a command center. No matter who it is, you have to follow his rules"

"A really awesome person. Oh yeah, is there anything else I can do for you, miss?"

"Uncle, do you know where I can get animal or bird trained?"

"Hemm.if in Sky city I know there are many misses. Because I came from there. What animal do you want, Miss?

"Maybe an eagle or an owl?"

"There's a lot of it, miss. The journey from Hinom to Sky City took four days. If you want, I will write a letter to my brother to bring some animals during the celebration. So the lady can choose her own"

"Thank you uncle. Actually I wanted to go there, but for a while we were still very busy here. Uncle's help I really appreciate"

"Uncle what is our current financial position?"

"Separ lady. This is the district's financial notebook. This is our current financial position. This is our monthly income, and this is the amount of our monthly expenses." said Willi's head while showing the numbers in a book.

"That means with the additional burden of the soldiers I filed earlier, our finances are very thin."

"Yes, madam. But after all, a kingdom must have a formidable warrior. And of course it costs a lot. In fact, the actual cost we spend is still very little compared to other countries"

"I know Uncle, even their wages are not a quarter of the wages of the power of night."

"What?? Is that how much they pay, miss?"

"But their performance was several times higher than that of the other uncle. Doesn't that have to be the equivalent of hard work and uncle's wages?"
