Black Iron Crown

Chapter 507: Negotiated

Count Redmara and others were silent, but the lord on Rainer's side was excited after hearing these conditions.

War horses and population are nothing to them, but a full 100,000 gold coins and 400 kilometers of territory make them salivate.

For these lords, territories and gold coins are their most fancy things, even the lords who like to have fun are the same.

Count Redmara looked at the eloquent Reiner dumbfounded, not knowing how to answer.

"This is our condition, are you willing to meet it?" Rainer asked triumphantly.

Count Redmara was still silent, he didn't know how to answer, or how to refuse.

The atmosphere solidified at this moment.

After a while, Earl Redmara recovered, his brows were filled with unconcealed indignation, and said: "Grand Duke Rainer, don't you think your conditions are too excessive?"

The rest of the upstarts also looked at Lena with angry expressions.

"Is it too much? I don't think this is too much compared to what you have done. These conditions must be met, otherwise we will break the Imperial Capital and get it ourselves!"

Linus said aggressively without giving in.

Count Redmara who said this was speechless. He looked at Lena angrily, but could not find any rebuttal.

"This is impossible, you have to lower the standard, we can't get these things at all!" Count Redmara glanced at the upstarts behind him, and said firmly.

He knew that the treasury in the imperial capital was already empty at this time. If he agreed to the 100,000 gold coins requested by Rainer, he would undoubtedly have to let these upstarts pay.

However, wanting to get money from the upstarts is no less than pulling a tooth from a tiger’s mouth. These people are all iron roosters. At that time, Lenner’s army was almost overwhelmed by the army, and they were unable to force them to take money to expand their army. , How can it be possible for them to come up with the money now.

If he agrees to this request, then the upstarts will inevitably depart from him, and his power will disappear.

Therefore, even under Leiner's threats, he didn't mean to relax at all.

Lena's eyes were slightly narrowed, and a word Sichuan was twisted between his eyebrows, and he stared at Count Redmara's eyes firmly to put pressure on him.

He didn't say a word, the atmosphere gradually solidified, and Count Redmara was under very great pressure.

The upstarts looked at Rainer and Count Redmara, almost holding their breath. Whether their wealth can be preserved depends on a negotiation between the two parties today.

The vassals and upstarts behind Rainer also stared at the two closely. Whether they can get the most benefit depends on whether Rainer can persuade each other.

"Well... Since it is so difficult for you to pay, then I can lower some conditions, 60,000 gold coins, how about it, this is my bottom line!"

After hearing this, the upstarts couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Although sixty thousand gold coins are also quite a lot, they are very good compared to one hundred thousand gold coins.

Although it would make them very painful to take out the money, it would not ruin the family and preserve some wealth.

The vassals and royal lords behind Rainer were slightly disappointed, and they gave up a full 40,000 gold coins in one mouth, making them very sorry.

But in the end, it's pretty good to get 60,000 gold coins, even if you divide it evenly, everyone can get a lot.

Count Redmara looked at the expressions of the upstarts behind him, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and said: "That's great, in that case, we'll make it, sixty thousand gold coins!"

Rainer smiled and nodded, and then continued: "Wait, I haven't finished my conditions yet!"

"Huh?" Count Redmara frowned and looked at Lainer: "Didn't we have reached a consensus?"

"Haha, indeed, we have reached a consensus, but since I gave up part of the gold coins, I must make up for it from other places. Now I want all the territories within 500 kilometers south of Angron Fort!"

"Pretty!" Count Redmara cheered in a low voice.

The lords on Lena's side also showed joy. They thought that Lena had given up 40,000 gold coins in vain, but they did not expect to make up for it elsewhere.

What are the gold coins in front of the territory? That's a good thing that can be passed on to future generations, and the territory in your hand is more stable and affordable than gold coins.

Count Redmara looked at Reiner with an uncertain expression: "Can't we really talk about it?"

"There is no need to talk about it. This is a hard standard. If you can't satisfy me, then there is only war as a solution!"

Count Redmara looked at the lords behind him.

Although these upstarts are also very dissatisfied with Rainer's conditions, they can only regress in order to save their lives.

Looking at the upstarts who nodded slightly, Count Redmarah could only helplessly say: "Well then...all the territory 500 kilometers south of Angron Fort is yours!"

This condition may seem very harsh, but in fact it is not completely unacceptable for upstarts.

The territory of 500 kilometers south of Angron Fort is basically under the direct jurisdiction of the royal family, and surrendering the interests of the royal family to the royal lords will not harm the interests of the upstarts.

You can solve the immediate crisis without losing your own interests. Why not?

"Very good!" Lena put on a smile on his face: "A very wise choice, Count Redmara, I'm glad you made the right decision!"

"So, what about the remaining two requirements? Eight hundred real, pure-blooded, up to standard, trained horses, and one hundred thousand inhabitants, are you willing to agree?"

Count Redmara nodded helplessly, his eyes full of loss.

Although the eight hundred war horses are painful, it is not impossible to take them out. The Imperial Capital used to form heavy cavalry to buy a lot of war horses, and now it is a big deal to be handed over to them, but it is nothing.

The only unsatisfied ~lightnovelpub.net~ is the population of one hundred thousand.

The population of the entire imperial capital is less than one hundred thousand.

After hearing the difficulties of Count Redmara, Rainer just smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, we can raise population from this land when we leave. If the population we take away is not enough, you can still give it to us in the future. send over!"

Rainer's words left Count Redmara speechless. He had never seen a lord who valued population so much.

Indeed, population is very important, but there is a limit to the number of people a territory can carry. If there are too many people, more food will be consumed to feed them.

This is the thinking of all upstarts and nobles in the imperial capital, and even many royal lords think so, except for Rainer and his vassals.

They cannot be blamed for this. Although short-sightedness is part of the reason, the more reason is the serf system.

It is enough for them to keep a certain number of serfs to do farm work for them. If there are too many, it will be a burden.
