Black Iron Crown

Chapter 268: Lao Yan Fenfei

Baron Azak was the first to say this. The other lords nodded and said yes. Now Rainer’s power is dominated by a single family. Not only is his army strong and numerous, but among these vassals, those who support him are not. Few, even if there are so few who are dissatisfied with him, they still can't make any waves.

Seeing the vassals cooperate so well, Rainer couldn't help but nodded approvingly, and said with a smile: "If this is the case, then I will start granting you new territories now!"

Rainer's Xiaohu immediately took out a piece of parchment from his arms and handed it to Rainer. This was a plan that had been drawn up before.

Seeing that his son is so trusted by Leiner, and whenever he is with him, Baron Azac is even more happy in his heart, and at the same time he strengthens his loyalty to Leiner.

Rainer slowly opened the file and began to read slowly.

The lord who had returned to his side from Count Jebo before had no credit, so Rainer didn't plan to give them land, just a place that was not much different from their previous land.

As for the remaining vassals who had worked in the war before, Rainer chose a territory for each of them based on their merits.

But even so, the reward gap for all of them is not very big.

The one who received the most reward was Baron Azak. He changed from the original territory of seventeen villages under one castle to two forty-three villages under one castle, and he became the strongest vassal under Lena's command.

Others also got a new baronial collar, and the number of villages under his command has changed from a dozen to twenty to more than thirty.

In this era when most of the productive forces are in the countryside and a small part in the cities, villages and villagers are the root of wealth. That's why Reiner made such a decision.

All of them have been canonized to a position a little souther of the east, because it will be even colder if they are closer to the north, and it takes great pains to make up for them Rainer thinks.

It took another half an hour after this set of procedures had passed. After Rainer had finished reciting the name of the last person, the hall was quiet and even a needle dropped to the ground.

However, this silence only lasted more than ten seconds before it ended.

The vassals began to talk about it. Lehner could see from their expressions that they were still very satisfied with their rewards. They couldn't help but smile and nodded, quietly leaving the hall, leaving it here. them.

Although Fort Morand is his core territory, it cannot be changed in any way. It is a military castle. At the same time, the location is slightly remote and cannot be centered to control the overall situation.

Therefore, Reiner finally decided to abandon Fort Moreland and use Mecalon City as his political center and capital.

The preparatory work for the relocation was very cumbersome, but it was completed quickly under the transport of servants and soldiers. In fact, there were not many things that needed to be moved, but some important documents were transferred here.

The sugar press was left here, and the iron smelting room was not moved either. It was still left here.

So far, Reiner has been directly included in the territories with an area of ​​670,000 square kilometers, which is a city, 74 castles, 1,357 villages, and a total of more than 177,000 people.

It is worth mentioning that in addition to these gains, Leiner also obtained a large amount of iron ore that can be mined.

The Northern Territory was already rich in steel. After the unification of the Northern Territory, the amount of iron ore in Lena's hands was terrible. Even if some private iron ore owned by some vassals were eliminated, Lena estimated that he was fully exploiting my iron ore in his own hands. It can supply the steel needs of this whole continent.

But it is a pity that Leiner does not have such mining capacity now. Suddenly there are so many residents. Leiner's first consideration is how to feed them. The business that he has always wanted to develop before can be released later.

It is pure nonsense to want to develop business without strong enough agriculture, and it is no different from drinking poison to quench thirst.

All the members of the Morand family, as well as the maids and male servants, have been transferred to the city of Mekalong. The entire main fort has been cleaned up. Although it is still possible to ask about some **** smells, but with time The passage of time will get lighter and lighter.

On the Morandburg side, Rainer also left some soldiers to be stationed, and what made him feel a headache was that so many castles were really difficult to deal with.

He couldn't station an army in every castle, and his soldiers wouldn't be enough.

But if there is no garrison, Rainer is also worried that these castles will become a breeding ground for bandits, impairing his authority and control.

In the end, he could only make up his mind to demolish some of the castles that were not particularly useful, as long as he could keep the nearby villages under control.

After all, the Northern Territory was divided into extremely dense baronies, and sometimes the distance between the two castles was only five or six kilometers. These areas, as the direct territories of Lena, do not need such dense fortresses at all.

But he had no choice but to deal with it slowly.

At this time, on April 20th, 23rd of the Empire, Reiner finally had time to meet Mekasha...

Walking into her room, Lena felt a pain in her heart when she saw the other party.

At this moment, Mekatha didn't say her face was haggard, at least her face was haggard, she no longer had her skin that was as smooth as jade and her face was fat, and her complexion was very poor.

Frowning at Mekasha, he walked forward to touch the other person's cheek, after thinking about it or putting down his hand, he whispered softly: "How did it happen?"

Unexpectedly, Mekasha did not answer his words, but showed a mocking smile on his face, and said coldly: "My brother is also dead?"

Rainer had nothing to say when he heard that, he really couldn't tell the news directly.

Even though he told himself before coming here to say something like a man, he still had some scruples when he got here.

Looking at each other's brows, Lena nodded reluctantly and did not speak.

"Heh..." Mekasha smiled mockingly, and then said: "You still want to marry me now, don't you?"

Rainer nodded hurriedly.

"Then, I have two conditions you must agree to!"

"First, after we get married, the second child must be named Zhebo!"

"Second, and use Mecalon City as his fief after he reaches adulthood!"

"Can you agree?"

Mekasha slowly said two conditions and asked.

Rainer pursed his lips~lightnovelpub.net~ He wanted to speak and finally shook his head: "I really can't agree with this! You know all this!"

Mekasha squinted her eyes when she heard the words, and said: "If this is the case, then I can't marry you, please let me go out of here!"

Seeing that Rainer hadn't answered for a long time, she said again: "Don't tell me that the invincible Earl of Rainer will worry about letting me go, a weak woman!"

"But... but I really want to marry you as my wife!"

Rainer frowned. He felt the pain in his breathing, and said with a frown.

Mekasha just smiled, and then said indifferently: "This is impossible, you killed my father and brother! You wiped out my family! Do you think this is still possible? We are over! It is impossible!"

Mekatha's words were extremely firm, and a sentence was inserted into Lena's heart like a knife, and it was heartbroken!

What Rainer didn't notice, however, was that Mekatha's eye circles were also slightly red when she said this...
