Black Iron Crown

Chapter 357: Empire 24 Winter

   Sir Baragon fell silent after hearing Rainer's words.

   "What? Is it difficult?"

"Yes, Lord Earl..." Sir Barragón said in a somewhat inexplicable manner: "Your request may take a long time to be fulfilled. Your territory is too large, and all you require are wide roads built of slabs. The materials and labor required for each kilometer are huge. According to the current construction capacity on the territory, such a large project may take ten years to complete..."

   "Ten years?" Rainer frowned. Ten years was beyond his expectation, but after thinking about it, he understood.

   The difficulty of building roads is often no less than building a castle. Now, let alone the fact that Rainer can provide Sir Baragon with not much labor. It is estimated that he is desperately old to be able to achieve this speed in this era.

   nodded helplessly, and Leiner said, "Well, I will provide you with enough manpower and material resources. I need you to pave the road as fast as possible..."

  Rainer felt that the second plan to capture the slaves of the Clades should have begun, and now 10,000 slaves are really not enough.

   Randomly flipping through the files on the desk, Rainer left the study, and he asked Count Jolar to go hunting in the forest.

   Riding on a war horse, with Sarang and Lombard beside him, Wend was left in the castle to continue training. He is fifteen years old this year, and he can officially become a knight in a few years. He must train harder.

   Rainer was followed by a dozen retinues, and the same was true for Earl Jolar. The two walked side by side. The dozen hounds held by the retinues barked frantically, shaking the forest.

   The group of people is extremely arrogant, as if it would be impossible to show their noble status and Lord Earl's ownership of this forest without this.

   "Autumn is coming soon, and the prey here must be very fat!" As soon as Earl Jolar entered the forest, he became very excited. He looked around to see if there were any prey that needed to be shot by himself.

   "Yes..." Rainer smiled and nodded: "This year's year is very good, and the rain is more plentiful than last year. There must be a good harvest!"

"Aha, I haven't grown food this year. My heaven and fields are full of flax and sisal, do you know? The empire's hemp production area is basically all in the south. After the southern lord rebelled, the empire lost the source of sackcloth. Making cloth and clothes very expensive, I plan to make a fortune this year!"

   Rainer nodded thoughtfully: "In other words, the empire is now very short of warm clothes, isn't it?"

   "Yes, the southern rebellion, many properties of the empire have been affected, linen, honey, wine, the prices of these things have skyrocketed."

   "It seems...it's very time for me to fly here...after wool is made into clothing, he will definitely hang sackcloth to keep out the cold!" Rainer felt that a golden avenue was already in front of him.

   "The wool degreasing and weaving workshop must be on the agenda!" Leiner said in his heart.

"Aha! A deer!" The sharp-eyed Count Jolar yelled, pointing to the front, and then rushed out with a squat. The followers behind him hurriedly followed up with their horses, and several hounds went crazy. Roared loudly and charged up.

  Leiner shook his head and rode his horse to follow him. He wore a recurve bow around his waist. He has become obsessed with archery recently and has been studying with Tillihan for a while.

It is worth mentioning that Tillihan finally got a knight title after such a long period of time, and a territory on the prairie. Reiner allowed him to take the horse archers to capture the leaders for himself. Now he has a small tribe of more than 300 people.

  Rainer followed, and just saw the figure of Earl Jolar, and found that several hounds had been biting the deer madly, and Earl Jolar ended it with a long sword but died.

"Haha, Earl Rainer! Take a look at my prey! We have venison to eat tonight!" A few hounds loosened their mouths, and Earl Jolar cut off a few pieces of venison and threw them on the ground, just for a moment. Was eaten up by the hounds.

   After a day of hunting, the two had a good harvest. Rainer hunted a black wolf and two hares, Earl Jolar a deer and a wild dog.

   That night, the two were sleeping in the camp.

Count Joral handed over a roasted half-baked deer leg, and said, "By the way, Earl Rainer, I sang something called sugar in the Imperial City. I have never remembered that taste. Sir Horn said it was given to you. His gift, I don’t know if you can give me some of it?"

   Count Choral has a straight-forward temper, without so many twists and turns, he regards Rainer as a friend, so he asks directly.

   "Aha, I'm planning to give you some if you don't tell me! But there won't be a lot of them, it's really hard to get it out!"

   "No problem, just a little bit, enough food is enough. If your production increases in the future, I hope you can sell me more!"

   "Your territory has not grown food this year, so how do you spend this year?"

   "Haha, of course I bought it from you, my brother!"

Count Jolar said with a smile: "I originally planned to buy food from other places, but after seeing that you couldn't eat the food at all, I changed my attention. I still want to talk to you later! "

   "No problem, I will give you some discounts, I can sell as much as you want!"

Reiner is happy to sell the grain to Earl Cholar, and now he is not short of grain at all. The 100,000 tons of grain he harvested last year is still more than 70,000 tons. This is still the result of going out to fight, otherwise it will More left.

   At this stage, there are a lot of gold coins credited to Lena, which is completely bloody.

   Count Choral stayed in Mecalon for a while and then left, UU read www.uukanshu.com and Mecalon also started the autumn harvest activities like a raging fire.

   The leaders holding iron sickles have been busy in the fields from morning to night. Regardless of men, women and children, even children of seven or eight years old are contributing their own strength.

   The piles of wheat, beans, and clover are transported to the homes of residents in bundles. Some people cannot accumulate in their homes and have to be thrown outside.

  The autumn harvest activity continued until the winter approached, and the weather gradually became colder, and it was considered that all the food was collected.

180,000 tons. This is the tax collected by Reiner this year. The piles of grain filled every warehouse. If it weren’t for Sir Baragon’s construction of several new granaries before the autumn harvest, I’m afraid they wouldn’t be able to hold so many. food.

  Liner had sold 50,000 tons of grain last year, all of which were purchased by Earl Jolar and sold to him at the price of one silver coin per ton of grain.

   The entry of a full five thousand gold coins has made Reiner's finances a lot richer again, and last year's Chen Liang finally found it out.

   "It seems that Earl Jolar really made a fortune, otherwise he would never get five thousand gold coins."

   Lena stood in front of the castle window, looking at the snow falling like goose feathers outside, thinking like this. ...
