Rainer's desire for population is not comparable to these lords.

The full man does not know that the hungry man is hungry. There are only 200,000 people on a huge piece of land like the northern border. The extra 30,000 people in this area are provided by the two refugee platforms built by Reiner.

Every time Rainer saw the serfs of these lords as cannon fodder on the battlefield, he was heartbroken. How many people would be consumed in the wars, and how much value can such a large population of people produce in the North?

Although Reiner's territory has a total of 200,000 people, which is the most among the lords of the entire empire, after all, he controls a grand duchy, nearly one million square kilometers of huge land.

Even if he has entrusted a lot of territories, his territories still have 550,000 square kilometers.

That is a territory the size of several celestial provinces! There are only 200,000 people, and no one in a hundred miles is an empty talk.

What's more, Rainer's current number and proportion of troops have reached a dangerous situation.

In the era of cold weapons, that kind of productivity requires a full 100 talents to support a true full-time professional soldier.

Even if the productivity of Reiner's territory has increased a lot, population has always been the basic resource that restricts everything.

After several rounds of reclamation, the arable land in the Lena Territory has been cultivated to the limit.

Not because all the land has been reclaimed into cultivated land, but because there is not enough population in the territory.

Human energy is always limited, and the time for planting and harvesting is stipulated. Now the amount of cultivated land in the northern border has reached the limit that everyone can cultivate.

Even many people’s farmland has been left unused.

For example, some soldiers in Lena's army, some veterans have done too much and accumulated four to five hundred acres of arable land. In the past, they were able to hire other people to help when the spring ploughing was not over.

But now, everyone can barely finish their work before the spring plowing and autumn harvest, and they have the ability to help others to farm, so they can only idle most of the land, and try their best to use livestock and heavy plowing to plant. Eighty to ninety acres.

Unless Reiner can open up and create modern agricultural machinery automation, otherwise it will not be possible to increase food production in a short period of time.

Population is also the key to restricting the number of troops. Although productivity has increased, at least thirty or forty talents must be able to feed a full-time professional soldier. Now the number of troops in the Northern Territory has almost reached this standard. This value.

Therefore, it is extremely urgent to increase the number of people, and the lack of population in the north is also the biggest source of restricting Rainer.

Apart from other things, if the population of the northern border is larger, not too much, only one million people are needed, and Rainer still negotiates with the imperial capital?

Still need to worry about the offensive of the southern kingdom of Bukerdern and retreat? No need at all!

With a population of one million, I directly formed 30,000 elite regular troops, and then relied on iron ore to form an iron and steel army. Wouldn’t I even push you into a small southern kingdom? Still need to worry about so much?

Lena's thinking diverged slightly, he withdrew the illusion in his heart, and reluctantly returned to the ashamed reality.

"Well, dear Grand Duke Rainer, now that we have agreed to all your requests..."

Count Redmara paused after seeing Rainer’s expression, coughed embarrassingly, and said: "Agree to your request, then you should withdraw the soldiers on the wall? We will prepare your request as soon as possible. Everything!"

"Hey, don't worry!" Rainer waved his hand and said, then winked at a follower behind him.

Hu Cong immediately understood it, and took out two pieces of parchment from his arms.

Reiner took the two pieces of paper in his hand, looked at Count Redmara with a smile, and said: "Since we have reached an agreement, then sign this contract!"

With that said, Rainer began to write the terms of this negotiation on it.

Rainer first signed the name on it, and then asked for a seal to be engraved on it.

After that, the parchment was passed to the hands of the lords behind them, and they all signed and sealed it in the same way.

An interesting thing happened. The seal pattern on Reiner's side is almost the same. Except for some of the vassals under Reiner, all of them are members of the Merland family. The coat of arms is also very similar, but slightly smaller. The difference.

Immediately afterwards, Rainer handed the parchment to the Earl of Redmara. After carefully reading the above clauses, he signed his name and stamped his own seal.

After everything was over, Count Redmara said: "We have also signed the contract, so can you withdraw the soldiers on the wall?"

That's right, although the two sides have begun negotiations, the army on the wall has not been withdrawn. Rainer doesn't trust them, and there must be a back-hand to restrain them.

Count Redmara's face became more and more ugly. After Lena's tossing, cynicism, and threats, he had long been on the verge of the limit of anger, and he was still able to have this good attitude because of fear.

"Hey, how can this work!" Rainer waved his hand and said angrily.

"Although the contract has been signed, I am still worried that you do not abide by the agreement. What if we unilaterally tear up our contract? At that time, we can still get what belongs to us!"

"Oh, by the way, I hope I can get everything we need within five days, otherwise we can only get it by ourselves when our patience runs out!" Rainer reminded kindly.

Seeing the gentle smile on Lena's face, Count Redmara tried his best to keep the smile on his face. The upstarts behind him were already full of anger and wanted to hack Lena to death.

"Okay, as you wish..." Count Redmara reluctantly squeezed these words out of his teeth, and then left angrily.

"Good job Grand Duke Rainer!"

"The expressions of these gangsters are really wonderful!"

"Hahaha, Grand Duke Rainer is really annoying, but I just want to laugh when I see them!"

The upstarts laughed and rushed up to express their admiration and admiration to Reiner~lightnovelpub.net~ Just now the Count Redmara and the upstarts were so unbearable but had to endure it. Comfortable.

Five days later, the upstarts in the imperial capital carried things up to the city wall very honestly, and then they were carried down by the soldiers on the Renner side of the city wall. A total of 60,000 gold coins and 800 war horses were taken away. It took two full days for the city wall to be transported to the surface.

In addition, Reiner and the vassals and royal lords enjoyed all the territory of 500 kilometers south of Angron Fort, a huge area of ​​more than 500,000 square kilometers.

In this way, the royal coalition forces who had obtained everything embarked on a journey back to the north.

The front baggage was walking slowly, and the soldiers were also covered in iron armor and carrying weapons, walking north in a guard formation.

Lena was riding on the back of the war horse, wearing a gorgeous armor, and looking back at the towering city wall of the Imperial Capital, half of which was once in his hands, he couldn't help feeling full of melancholy.

Just a little bit, just a little bit away, and he sat in that supreme position.
