Black Iron Crown

Chapter 453: Imperial Family Company

Through this combination of grace and prestige, Frank initially established prestige in the castle and forced most of the people to submit to her.

If nothing unexpected happens next, then Frank will succeed Madame Moreland as the master of the castle.

Especially when Rachel was put in custody, without his control, the people below would be better able to take over.

Rainer also heard about this, and after Frank made such a decision, Logan quickly reported all her actions to him.

Not in the mentality of making a small report, but as an intelligence officer, he must ensure that Lord Duke knows everything that happened in the castle.

Rainer did not say much after listening to Logan's report, nor did he blame Frank.

Because it was reasonable for her to do so, even though Mrs. Moreland was her own mother, in the final analysis he was the wife of the previous lord, and the wife of the lord was Frant and not her.

If the responsibilities and rights of two people overlap, it is obvious that some conflicts and waste of labor will occur.

Now that there has not been a fight with each other to make the castle a mess, it is already very fortunate for Rainer.

But it is undeniable that Frant's move was not excessive. In fact, when Frant and Leiner got married, Mrs. Moreland should surrender the rights to Frant's hands.

But at that time, Frank arrived first, and she was still a daughter of the enemy army, her position was rather delicate, and Rainer did not raise this point.

Now that after some running-in, it is not surprising that Frank did such a thing.

Rainer didn't bother to care about the messy things about the people below. The main reason was that apart from the Rachel butler, Rainer's distant uncle, he really didn't do too much.

They were still within Lena's tolerance, and although Rachel did a little too much, he was his uncle after all, and he had a pretty good relationship with Mrs. Moreland.

Reiner was unwilling to add to himself for one or two gold coins a year.

But now that Frank chose to poke the matter out, there was no need to continue to tolerate it.

Corruption and acceptance of bribes was a serious crime in the past, which was tolerated in the past, but after getting it out, even if it was Lena who wanted to be kidding, he had to let everyone see the end of corruption.

"What are you going to do with Rachel?" Rainer asked casually while lying on the bed.

"According to the law of the territory, can't it?" said Frank.

The Northern Territory is different from other regions. In other regions, apart from the empire’s several conventions, there are only customary laws and the verbal methods of the lord. That is to say, how to deal with the most annoying thing is a word from the lord.

But it is different in the Northern Territory. As early as the Morandburg period, Reiner initially formulated reasonable laws, including a series of punishments for common crimes, which are all traceable, and only need to follow the text.

In the north, officials who embezzle more than five silver coins can be sentenced to death.

Listening to Frant's words, Rainer knew that she was testing whether she would support her, so she said, "I have no opinion, but you may want to ask your mother's opinion!"

In the end, Lehner didn't know how the two people reached an agreement. Anyway, the treatment of Rachel was to exile Lehner's court and go to the grassland to raise horses as a horseman.

At the same time, the two lords successfully united with Rainer after paying some price and opened a woollen factory.

After seeing such benefits, more and more royal lords began to write letters to Rainer, and they all said they would cooperate with Rainer.

After achieving the goal, Rainer was a little bit proud, so he told these lords to come to Makaron City to discuss in person.

April 15th, 26th year of the Empire.

As promised, the royal lords came to Mekalong City to discuss the establishment of factories.

In the meeting hall, dozens of royal lords with different titles gathered together and looked at Lena with expectant eyes.

"Haha, our academic management has the same blood, and they are all descendants of the Morland family. Naturally, I won't refuse you if you have such a request!" Rainer looked at these people with a smile.

"However, although we have a relationship with relatives, this is something I have developed with all my hard work. No one wants others to sit back and enjoy it, and I am no exception!"

"Yes, Duke Rainer, we won't let you lose!" The royal lords didn't have much opinion after hearing Rainer's words so bluntly.

Rainer said with a smile, "It's great that you can understand me!"

"Then, I propose two options for you to choose freely!"

"The first option is to spend two thousand gold coins to buy from me how to use the flying shuttle and a batch of wool. I am responsible for sending someone to teach you to use the flying shuttle. Yes, if you want more wool in the follow-up, you need to spend money. Bought!"

"Two thousand gold coins!" The first option caused an uproar among the royal lords.

They are different from the lords in the south. Most of their annual income comes from land rent and some business taxes. Even for high lords such as Earl Joral, two thousand gold coins are their savings for several years, which is a bit of a price. Too high.

What's more, such great lords are only a few, and most of the royal lords are nobles with only the title of baron.

"Duke Rainer, this...isn't the price too outrageous? Most of us probably can't afford it!" It was Baron Moricardo, an elderly royal lord, a witness to Rainer.

As a respected old man, he is very respected.

But being respected does not mean that he is rich. He is just a baron, commanding a baronian, and two thousand gold coins represent his income for more than 100 years without eating or drinking.

His words resonated with the rest of the royal lords. Only the lords with the title of baron expressed that the price was too high to bear.

Even the Duke of Antar, who owns a piece of duchy, shook his head and said that he could not afford such expenses.

"Don't worry~lightnovelpub.net~ I have prepared a second choice for you!"

"I am responsible for dispatching manpower to build factories on your territory. Workers are selected from your territory, but I want to occupy 30% of the shares in these factories, which means that 30% of the income must be given to me!"

After listening to Rainer's words, the lords expressed their agreement after hesitating for a while.

Just paying 30% of the income can get more money than it is now. They still figured out this account.

"Hey, I haven't finished speaking yet!" Rainer shook his head and said.

"In addition, we should form a chamber of commerce to support each other if necessary. For example, when our wool cloth is promoted to the south, and when the southern linen merchants are engaged in a trade war with us, the rest of the members must Do your best to support!"

"For example, during a price war, members have to provide more cheap wool cloth to dump it, and after victory, we can enjoy the huge market exclusively! Do you have any opinions?"
