Black Iron Crown

Chapter 509: Forced immigration

Leaving the imperial capital in a melancholy manner, Rainer was speechless along the way.

Although which position is at his fingertips, he still has to think about the things he will face after he has obtained that position. Not to mention whether he can sit firmly on the throne, just this position is a target exposed in front of everyone.

Although Dayi is in his own hands, there are too many opposing forces and enemies facing him. Even if Rainer has three heads and six arms, it may be difficult for him to deal with bright guns and arrows from all directions.

It is better to temporarily give up this throne and return to the North to accumulate strength, and when the time is right, it will be natural.

On the way back, the lords of the royal family were in a very good mood. They didn't know the true identity of the little emperor, so the idea of ​​overthrowing the little emperor was not strong, and they were very satisfied to be able to get so many benefits.

The same is true of the vassals under Rainer's command. Many people have made meritorious services in this siege, and what awaits them will be rich rewards.

"Let's start here, we should implement the terms of the contract now!" Rainer pointed at the village in front of him with his horse whip.

"But..." Earl Jolar said hesitantly: "Leiner, what use do we want these people for? This will seriously slow down our march!"

As soon as his words fell, many lords nodded one after another, all expressing that they did not understand Rainer's approach.

When the treaty was signed before, these lords did not understand such conditions, but since the upstarts were also present at the time, it was right that some benefits were not bad anyway.

Although they understand that population is a very important resource, it is not worth taking back so far. It is definitely more cost-effective to bring enough money back than to bring people back.

What's more, the territories of some lords are already overcrowded.

Overcrowding does not mean that the territory is full of people, but it means that the land in the territory no longer needs so many people to cultivate, and there is an overcapacity situation.

Although they will also cultivate some land, the rate of land growth is far behind the rate of population growth, and serfs may even be driven away.

Reiner was full of envy for this, his desire for population absolutely surpassed any one person, and he also hoped that he could be extravagant enough to drive people out of his territory.

In that case, it means that the number of people he has at least surpassed tens of millions.

Obviously, this is his dream that is beyond expectation. Based on the population base of the northern border, even if it is two hundred years later, it will not be possible to reach that population.

"I am useful!" Reiner said with a slight smile, "I can give you more benefits, but I need more population to enrich my territory. Dishwashing powder, you can forgive me."

The lords nodded one after another. Although these residents would become a burden on the marching road, since Rainer said so, they couldn't refuse.

Reiner’s soldiers scattered from gang to the villages, gathered the villagers and brought them to the assembly point.

A snake-like disease kicked the villager's short and dilapidated house and savagely broke into it. The rest of the soldiers did the same.

All of a sudden, women's screams and men's screams were endless, and soon, the villagers of the whole village were gathered together.

As a wing captain, Krim commanded the soldiers under his command to be responsible for the assembly of the three villages.

Looking at the panicked villagers gathered in the center of the village, he shouted loudly: "Don't panic! Calm down and don't be afraid!"

His words played a little role. The villagers who were still trembling, watching the surrounding soldiers with eyes full of distrust and panic calmed down.

"We are soldiers under the command of Grand Duke of the North, and I am the leader of this coalition. According to the agreement between the Imperial Capital and our Grand Duke, from now on you are the people of the North, under the rule and protection of the Grand Duke of the North. So you must follow me to live in the northern border!"

"But our home is here!"

After a period of silence, a thin and short-looking teenager stood up. His clothes could not even protect from the cold, and there were still many holes in this autumn.

"Come back, don't offend the lord!" His father immediately pulled him back, slapped him twice on his back, and then knelt on the ground while pressing the boy's head.

"I'm sorry, Jun Ye, my child offended you because of his ignorance, and I hope you can forgive him!" The father, who appeared to be middle-aged but was actually less than 30 years old, said sincerely.

Someone in their village once offended the knight master, and his head was chopped off in the end, and no wandering knight has yet to receive any punishment.

Although he didn't know if the master in front of him was a knight, he commanded three or four hundred people, and he was obviously a noble master.

Kerim smiled and walked in front of these two people, feeling that each other was getting closer and closer to him. The middle-aged man almost plunged his head into the mud, not daring to raise his head at all.

However, while he was waiting for a whip or a long sword, he felt that someone was pulling his arm.

I looked up and found that it was an adult.

I saw this adult in heavy iron armor pulling his arm and gently saying: "Don't be afraid, from now on you are a resident of the Duke of the North. We will protect your safety. You pay taxes for the Duke, and Your Majesty will provide you with shelter!"

After Klimt finished speaking, he watched everyone present and shouted: "Don't worry about leaving your hometown! Wherever you will get enough farmland, you can buy livestock at a very low price! As long as you want, UU看书www You can hunt in the forest in the territory of uukanshu.com!"

"Your Majesty is kind, and the annual tax revenue is only 40%! You can leave a lot of food every year to support you!"

The residents looked at each other. They really couldn't believe what Krim said. Eating food can make them support themselves. It's just like living in heaven.

"Yes! You heard me right. I used to be an ordinary resident of Khalil Village, but now I am a coalition leader. I own 620 acres of arable land and a lot of wealth. This is His Majesty the Grand Duke. Granted to me! You will be grateful to live under your majesty's rule!"

Listening to Klim's words, these residents couldn't help but talk about it. If it was really like what he said, then it would be nothing to leave home.

As a result, more than two hundred people in this entire village simply packed up, and followed this team to their next goal.

Rainer intends to bring at least 50,000 people back to the North, so that it can be considered as a return. This is the limit that the food in the Rainer team can bear, even if it is, the residents' own food must be included.
