Rainer is very dissatisfied with the current situation, but he has no way to really control it.

He could only let the soldiers on patrol strongly restrain the mercenaries and other businessmen, as for the knights, he could only turn one eye off.

After all, those people came to Mekalong City because they admired their fame and were willing to work for them. If they were expelled or sentenced at this time, it would obviously make these knights feel chilly.

It is true that Lehner knew that these people wanted to get the beloved, but even so, he still couldn't do so.

Regardless of the residents in the territory, they are very supportive of Rainer, but after all, Rainer, or the basic plate of all nobles, are all knights, self-cultivating farmers and landlords with combat capabilities.

These talents are the source of power for the nobility, but the situation in the north is different from other regions. Most residents can be called self-cultivators, and many of the people with the title of self-cultivation are landlords, so Rainer appears to have a relatively large number of people. .

Putting on those territories in the interior of the empire, a baron with four to five thousand people, the basic plate of the local lord may only have a dozen knights and thirty soldiers, as well as the homesteaders and landlords who support him.

We must know that those serfs are very unmotivated to work. They are completely the private property of the lord and have no motivation to work. If there is no supervision, the problem of laziness will be very serious.

It is impossible for a lord to stare at thousands of people to work, which means that another class must be formed to help the lord supervise.

Landlords, self-employed farmers, and knighthood came into being.

Although the knights are more military-oriented, and when they first appeared, they served in the army as a unit, but since the day they took over the fief from the lords and got the title, they have also assumed this responsibility.

Landlords and self-cultivators are the same. Although there are no self-cultivators in the traditional sense in the north, from a military point of view, Lena’s basic plate is still knights.

Maybe when he has more territories in the future, the basic plate will be extended to the residents of the north, but at least not now.

In the novels that Lenner read in his previous life, the act of directly hitting the landlord and dividing the fields appeared to him now that it was completely brain-disabled.

The limitations of the times are always non-existent, and it may be useful to divide the land by landlords, but it is definitely not now.

Because of productivity constraints, the per mu of grain yield is too low, so most of the population is still agricultural, which means that it is impossible to support more handicraftsmen and businessmen.

As long as the agricultural population still occupies the majority, then the basic board of lords and nobles will never change, that is, a small number, elite, knights, landlords, and self-employed farmers.

If the lord betrays the interests of the class, then his fundamental collapse means the demise of a family.

Even if he really wanted to be nice to the serfs at the bottom, and wanted to liberate the serfs, those serfs would not have the courage to work with the knight landlord self-cultivators.

At that time, even the soldiers under the lord's command would not help him.

Because most of the soldiers are self-employed farmers, who cares whether you are a noble lord or not if you touch your own interests?

And now Rainer is not like that.

Because in fact, he didn't have the kind of contradiction that liberating serfs won the support of most people.

Although the number of serfs was large, they could not actually be transformed into effective strength. They could only provide wealth, even if they could only play on the battlefield.

Unlike the Northern Territory, most of the residents are in the same situation as homesteaders. They can be directly transformed into troops and soldiers. Even if the knight class and the landlord class collapse, Rainer doesn't have to be afraid.

Compared with the inland lords, the territorial hierarchy and structure of the Northern Territory are more reasonable and balanced.

However, if the Cavaliers are dissatisfied with Reiner, then his situation will deteriorate a lot. Firstly, some powerful professional soldiers are gone. The second point is that others will be deceived by these past knight masters and resist Lyner. Satisfied.

Therefore, it is impossible for him to be disadvantageous to the knights now.

It can be said that the interests of the knight represent his interests.

Therefore, Rainer just asked the patrol to warn these restless knights, and instead drew a drastic effort to rectify the others.

Three days after Reiner's order was issued, the patrol arrested more than two hundred people into the dungeon of the castle.

They were convicted of various crimes, either murder, or theft, or robbery, or tax evasion.

Yes, tax evasion is a very terrible crime, even more serious than murder. This is a philosophy that Reiner has instilled in everyone. After all, he doesn't want the money he deserves to become less.

Corruption is as serious as tax evasion.

This is what Leiner is extremely disgusted with. No one would like others to take money from their pockets.

So Rainer is very angry now, extremely angry.

He slapped the file in his hand on the table, frowned and said annoyedly to Logan: "Is the news true?"

"Yes, Lord Earl, according to my investigation, Azerxi has embezzled at least five gold coins or more of his property!" Logan nodded, hiding his face in the dark, and said respectfully to Rainer.

"Damn it!" Reiner stood up to the crime, suppressing the anger in his heart and shouted at the door: "Go, Ezexi, call me!"

Rainer glanced at Logan, his secret eyes were really useful... it was better than Jin Yiwei.

"You take a break, go behind my curtain and listen to our conversation, understand?"

"Yes, Lord Earl, I understand what you mean!"

After waiting for a while, Ezehi opened the door and floated into Rainer's study.

I saw him walking briskly in front of Reiner~lightnovelpub.net~ and then knelt on one knee and performed an exaggerated etiquette. He bowed his head and said: "My greatest, most heroic, wisest, and most merciful director, Northland Lord Count Rainer, your servant pays you the highest respect and admiration. I don't know what you can tell me to come here?"

Rainer said nonchalantly to his compliment, and said nonchalantly: "I already know what you have done. Tell me everything. I can relieve some of your punishment, otherwise you will regret it!"

Hearing that, Azerxi's face was startled at first, then surprised by the advantage, and then turned into heartbroken, it was really rich in expression.

I saw Ezexi looking at Leiner with a sad expression, his eyes full of grievances, and tearfully said: "I don't know what I have done, and I don't know Lord Earl that you would look at me like this, but I believe it must not be. Your original intention, because I am so loyal to you, there is absolutely nothing to hide!"

"I can dedicate my heart to you, just to let you see if I have a loyal heart to you!"

Ezexi wiped the nasal mucus on his nose, and said sadly: "This must be someone slandering me, because they are jealous that I got your favor, Lord Earl, you must trust me, Lord!"
