Within half a month, the entire Northern Territory was completely under Rainer's control, and countless relatives of the Molande family were dispatched to all sides to serve as chief officials in the village that Rainer planned to incorporate into the core control area.

Of course, even if all the members of the Morland family were sent out, the number of tax officials at the level of the village was still insufficient.

He had no choice but to let the flow go temporarily, and then seal out some remote areas.

At this time, half of Rainer's army was stationed in Mecalon City to maintain order, while his vassals were concentrated in the lobby of Morandburg.

As a military castle, Fort Morand is far less comfortable than a commercial city like Mecalon City. Apart from some small shooting holes, there are even very few windows.

There are only two small vents on the top of the room in the whole hall. It is inevitable that the castle, which is not exposed to sunlight all the year round, looks a little gloomy and humid.

Under this light, Rainer's twenty-two vassals did not arrange their seats and sat down at random, but this time it was Rainer's direct courtiers who were sitting on the left and right sides of Rainer.

Sir Varas, Sir Cod, Sir Leyland, Sir Waxie, Sir Logan, these five people were sitting beside him, even Baron Azac did not receive such treatment.

At this time, Lena was dressed very dignified and luxurious, wearing an orange-yellow one-piece robe with red stripes on her body. The cloak with colorful patterns on the back has been drooping to the ground. There are leather rivets connected to the two wrists. , With two gems inlaid on it.

And his right hand has two rings on his thumb and **** respectively. The ring on the **** is the heraldic ring of the Molande family, symbolizing his right to diplomacy, communication, and decrees.

On the thumb is a bow-drawing finger. Although his archery skills are not particularly good, it is an ancient tradition of the Redka people. The Redka people who were still in the tribal era were very Pay attention to bows and arrows.

In addition, on the table in front of him is a magnificent long sword. Needless to say, it is a symbol of the army and the power of life and death.

And his left hand is holding a short scepter, which was bestowed by the royal family and symbolized all his rights in this land.

Although he is still young now, in order to maintain the majesty of the monarch and earl, he still barely left some beards on his chin. The beard is the best weapon for male creatures to demonstrate.

Touching the extremely delicately trimmed beard on his chin, Rainer groaned for a while, and then he spoke after leaving an unpredictable impression in the hearts of the vassals.

"In the past war with Earl Zhebo, you have played a huge role. The price you paid and all your sacrifices are all in my eyes! I will never ignore your loyalty to me. !"

Rainer clicked on the table with the scepter in his left hand, then stood up and said: "Now, I will reward you for your achievements!"

As he said, he set his sights on Sir Cod first and said: "Sir Cod, as my uncle, has helped me countless times, and at the same time, he fought bravely on the battlefield. It also has the noble blood of the Moland family!"

"Therefore, I will grant you the title of Baron. From now on you can call yourself a Baron. At the same time, I canonize the Fortuna and Santssburg and the 37 villages under it to you as your domain for generations. Spread, which piece of land has all the rights!"

"In exchange, you have to continue to pay your loyalty to me, to perform military service and annual tax obligations to me, and to derive your own law in accordance with my basic law!"

"Then, please accept the canonization!"

Sir Cod knelt on one knee immediately. Although he was Lena's uncle, Lena was his captain anyway, and he had to do this under such circumstances.

I saw Sir Cod stroked his left chest with his right hand, lowered his head and said to Rainer: "From now on, my sword will only be swung for you. No one can shake my loyalty to you. I will work hard to protect you. The last drop of blood in the body, your existence is the meaning of our struggle!"

Rainer nodded approvingly, took the long sword out of its sheath, placed it on Sir Cod’s shoulder and tapped it three times, saying: "I accept your loyalty, and I also talk about protecting you and your family. !"

In this half an hour, in addition to Sir Waxie, Sir Vallas, Sir Leyland, and Sir Logan all received the title of baron and a baronial land.

And their territories are on the eastern edge of the northern border at this time. This is the result of Lena's careful consideration.

But Sir Waxie was not awarded because he didn't show too much eye-catching performance in the battle.

After the canonization of Leiner's own ministers, the vassals looked at Leiner eagerly, just like pugs staring at their masters and feeding.

Reiner sat back in the chair, tapped the table with his scepter and caught everyone's attention before saying: "Everyone...I see your credit...and the rewards you want, I can give you too!"

Reiner speaks very slowly, and he has the feeling of five people in a high position, but it makes people feel his majesty.

The vassals nodded as they heard what Rainer said, but did not speak.

"I give you a new territory. It will certainly not border your current territory. It will become an enclave at that time. It must be managed a long way before you can give orders!"

"Furthermore, not only are you difficult to manage, but it also has an impact on the management of my own territories directly under my jurisdiction. Instead, let's just carry out a territory replacement!"

Reiner said nothing more here, because his remarks had already caused an uproar among the vassals, and they began to discuss the meaning of Reiner's remarks and whether the proposal was feasible~lightnovelpub.net ~After waiting for about five minutes, Rainer tapped a few times on the table with a pure gold scepter: "Quiet! Be quiet!"

"What do you think? This way, you can just connect your territories, and at the same time, it can also connect my territories. This is a way to kill two birds with one stone. Not only that, after you replace your territories, I can exempt you for five years. The annual tax that needs to be paid within!"

Hearing this, the vassals looked at each other. The monarchs were silent for a while, and Baron Azak took the lead and said: "I agree with Lord Earl's proposal, and I am willing to accept territory replacement!"

He intends to be a **** supporter of Reiner, plus the exemption of annual tax, which is not a small concession.

The annual tax is supposed to be paid to Reiner for one-tenth of the annual income of his territory. Now the five-year tax exemption is very generous.

Although they want to leave the territory where their family has lived for decades or even hundreds of years, it is not unacceptable for the family to be more prosperous and powerful. Their local plot is not particularly important. If there is a better choice, they will do nothing. Give up your hometown without hesitation.
