Chapter 14 Steward
A knight's plate armor weighs about 30 kilograms.
George's weight is only 45 kilograms now, which is a little thinner than normal weight. He wears a 30 kilogram plate armor, so he might as well do weight-bearing training.
This time George was very smart and drew the protective gear directly. After Ekaterina saw it, she had two sets made overnight.
It’s not too much trouble. There are tailors and maids who are good at needlework in the Yekaterin Palace. George and Yekaterina’s clothes are made by them.
The technology of the palace tailors is really good. Compared with the assembly line industrial products of the 21st century, the protective gear made by the palace tailors is exquisite and can be called works of art.
George tried it, and the effect was pretty good. Now he and Andre's practice finally became somewhat decent.
It just looks good. Andre will definitely not go all out. He rarely takes the initiative to attack. Even if he punches, the speed and strength are limited.
George is very satisfied to have reached this level. Nothing is perfect.
For the current George, this level is just right. He is also surprised by his learning ability. It is estimated that this is the welfare of time travellers.
After all, there is no system. Strengthening the learning ability is considered as compensation.
Physical fitness should also be strengthened.
When George traveled through time, he was as thin as a chicken. His little arms and legs made George feel chilled when he saw them.
After this period of exercise, George's physical fitness has been greatly improved. Although he is not covered in muscle lumps like Ye Luoxin, the muscles on his arms have also become contoured, and his strength is constantly increasing.
When George first started exercising, he couldn't lift a 20kg barbell, but now he can lift 40kg.
When Ye Luoxin found out, she stopped George's strength training.
George's body is still growing. If he practices barbell training, George will not be able to grow to 1.9 meters like Ya Er.
Ye Luoxin is about the same height as Ya Er.
The weight is estimated to be about the same.
Ya Er is full of fat.
Ye Luoxin's is muscles.
The riding skills that George had always wanted to learn would have to wait.
Cossacks who have lived on horseback for many years are a bit bow-legged, which is inevitable.
If George just wants to understand, that's no problem.
If you want to have Cossack-like riding skills, you need to practice hard for a long time.
Two Akhalte gold horses have been taken to George and kept in the stables of the Yekaterin Palace.
Although he can't practice riding yet, George still takes time to go to the stables every day to develop a relationship with the two horses.
The method is also simple, just lead the horse around the racecourse accompanied by Ye Luoxin.
George originally thought that cultivating a relationship with a horse would require feeding, grooming and bathing, but he didn’t expect it to be so simple.
George and Ekaterina had to take a carriage when going out, so there were 12 carriage drivers in the Yekaterin Palace alone.
The coachman is only responsible for driving, and there are six grooms responsible for raising horses.
George was curious and didn’t know how many people there were in the Yekaterin Palace.
After asking Mrs. Anna, I learned that at least 80 people are needed to maintain the normal operation of the Yekaterin Palace.
In addition to coachmen and grooms, the 80 people included gardeners, cooks, tailors, roughnecks, security personnel, band members, and a blacksmith.
This part does not include the maids around the three brothers Ekaterina and George, as well as the accompanying personnel. All added up, there were more than 150 people in the entire Yekaterin Palace.
Anna is Catherine's personal maid and the steward of the Catherine Palace.
The three George brothers and sisters are surrounded by a nurse from the UK. This is a habit that only appeared in Ya Er's era. It is said that it is related to Ya Er's emotional experience in his youth.
Ya Er’s first love was not Queen Maria, but the European grandmother in England.
In 1839, Grand Duke Alexander, who had not yet become the Tsar, arrived in England while traveling around Europe. It coincided with the Queen's 20th birthday, and the two met.
In his youth, Alexander was tall and handsome, and Victoria was deeply attracted to him. The two danced until three in the morning.
Although the two were attracted to each other, their relationship was strongly opposed by Prime Minister William Lamb and the British Parliament.
When Tsar Nicholas I learned of this, he asked Alexander to return to Russia immediately.
The separation lasted 35 years. It was not until Alexander visited Britain in 1874 that the two met again.
At that time, the woman beside Ya Er had been replaced by Ekaterina.
The aging queen and her former relationship have completely become a piece of sealed history.
Anna came to Yekaterina in her early years and had a deep relationship with Yekaterina.
Ekaterina is also used to Anna's existence. Without Anna, Yekaterina probably can't even take care of herself, so Anna will go to France with Yekaterina and continue to take care of Yeka. The lives of two sisters, Telina and George.
Then the problem arises.
After Anna leaves, who will be the steward of the Yekaterin Palace?
Ye LuoXin is not suitable. He is George's tutor, and at most he can serve as the foreign minister of the Yekaterin Palace.
The Yekaterin Palace needs at least one chamberlain.
Ekaterina had previously considered letting George's head nurse Kelly serve as housekeeper.
Kelly disappointed Ekaterina. Not only was she unable to serve as general manager, but she had to resign and return to the UK to get married. Therefore, the choice of internal general manager is still pending.
“When we went to General Ye Luoxin’s house, General Ye Luoxin’s house was very clean and the children were very polite. It can be seen that General Ye Luoxin’s wife should be a very capable person. "People, is she suitable to be the steward of the Yekaterin Palace?" Yekaterina said positively, this matter must be resolved before she leaves for France.
"General Ye Luoxin is now a tutor. If General Ye Luoxin's wife serves as a housekeeper again -" Anna is worried that in this way, the Yekaterin Palace will be controlled by Ye Luoxin and his wife, and by then George will become completely alone. .
“General Ye Luoxin can use most of his salary to support disabled veterans and raise orphans. General Ye Luoxin’s wife must have agreed to this, so the general’s wife’s character is trustworthy. "Ekaterina thinks about things from a different perspective than Anna.
If it were just purely external conditions, it is unlikely that Yekaterina would have fascinated Ya Er for 20 years.
As a tsar, Ya'er had countless beautiful women around him. Before meeting Catherine, Ya'er had many lovers and illegitimate children.
Ekaterina’s wisdom cannot be underestimated if she can make Yaer give up the entire forest for a tree.
"My dear son, do you know how to gain a person's loyalty?" Catherine must seek George's advice on the issue of the general manager. She seizes every opportunity she can take advantage of and puts her experience without reservation. taught to George.
George really doesn’t know how to gain someone’s loyalty.
Travelers also have shortcomings.
If it's friendship, George has no problem.
Shouldn’t loyalty be something only the Tsar considers?
40 kilograms is really okay. There is a child next to me who is 12 years old, 1.8 meters tall and weighs 210 -
An 11-year-old Canadian girl cleans and jerks 91 kilograms
