Black Iron Crown

Chapter 579: Whole army

   The serfs couldn't help crying after they drank the meat porridge. For them, it was almost the best food in their lives.

   In the past ten years or even ten years, they can only eat the lord's pity for a year of hard work, leaving behind a little bit of chaff, if you don't phone some wild vegetables outside, it is estimated that they will starve to death.

   After a hard life like this for almost a lifetime, they suddenly tasted oatmeal, goat's milk, and meat porridge mixed with bacon. What a blessing to them.

  The fragrant goat's milk exudes an unconcealable milk fragrance, the hard bacon jerky becomes soft under high-temperature cooking, and the saltiness contained in it has penetrated into the soup.

  The scent of milk, fragrant wheat and meat mixed into an extremely attractive scent, and the serfs gradually settled down.

   His Majesty is really kind. In the past, how could their lord give such a good thing to himself who is as humble as weeds to eat, but His Majesty was willing to pay.

   There are even many people who have secretly sworn allegiance to the Grand Duke for life.

   After working for a long time, I finally fed all the serfs, and then it was time for the soldiers to eat.

These soldiers gnawed beef jerky with sauce in their mouths, and they were cooking several pieces of mutton larger than the palm of their hands. One person was holding a large bread in his hand and two eggs in his arms. The only flaw The only thing is that I don’t see even a little bit of vegetables.

   There is no way, this is the northern border. The winter in the northern border is very chilling. There are no vegetables at all. You can only eat some pickled vegetables to relieve your greed.

   But even so, their food is still much stronger than the serfs, and their protein and fat intake after this meal can be compared to the serfs’ intake for two days.

   "How did your Majesty make arrangements? Should we move on or continue to stay here?" The two coalition captains sipped the beer they brought and asked a leading official.

"Stay here for two days. Your Majesty hopes that we will comfort these serfs first, and let them understand that they come to the North to live a good life and not continue to be slaves. At the same time, let them recover their physical strength and regulate their bodies, so that they can move forward. It will be much faster!"

   "Okay, as soon as possible, my fighters have not trained for a long time. I'm afraid they will fall behind in the next match."

   "All stand up! Stand up and listen to us!"

   A team officer and two soldiers appeared in front of a group of serfs. This was a group of serfs they were responsible for escorting. The number was about 800.

   The group of serfs immediately stood up from the ground when they heard the words, and looked at the team officer in awe.

   The team officer glanced around, then pointed to the official behind him and said: "Now listen to him and he will introduce you to what you will face in the future!"

   "Okay, let's start!" The team officer said to the official.

   The official nodded, walked to the position of the team officer just now, and said loudly: "Everyone, I am an official of the Northern Territory Grand Duke Rainer, and I am responsible for accepting you as the official residents of the Northern Territory!"

"You will be separated into villages, and then cultivated on your Majesty’s territory. Here you will not become serfs who can only cultivate every day but cannot get enough rations. Instead, you will pay taxes on time as your Majesty’s subjects. You can live safely in the north!"

   "Oh, by the way, let me tell you that the tax rate in the north is currently 30%, but your current relief food and your future houses should allow your tax rate to reach 40% in the next three years."

   "Of course, you have to figure out that the tax you paid in three years is not even enough to compensate for the material cost of building the house. Your Majesty does not want others to think that he is a weak person to be deceived. You have to pay for this."

After hearing what the officials said, these serfs began to discuss fiercely. The picture painted in his words was a life like heaven, only needing to pay 30% of the tax, and His Majesty also gave himself these serfs whose lives are cheaper than paper. After the house was built, all of this seemed like a dream.

   As for paying 40% of the tax in the future, it is nothing to them, or even worth mentioning.

When they were in their hometowns, they paid 70% of the tax each year because the lord was very compassionate. Paying 80% is the norm. What if the harvest in the north is not good, the remaining 60% of the grain plus the search in the wild The food can definitely make the family live a full life.

   After the official let the serfs discuss for a while, he pressed his hands down and shouted: "Quiet! Quiet! Just listen to me!"

   However, his voice was overshadowed by the comments of the serfs, who did not hear him at all.

   "Shut up to Lao Tzu! Miscellaneous!" the team officer and the two soldiers behind him shouted at the same time.

   As they said, they also drew their long swords from their waists. The soldiers were responsible for fighting, and civilians were responsible for governance. Now when it comes to force deterrence, it is time for the soldiers to stand up.

   Although there were only three people, the serfs didn't want the good days they just saw to become unenjoyable in an instant, so they quickly calmed down, watching the officials, and waiting for him to continue talking.

   "After you have lived like this, you must keep in mind that all this is bestowed by your majesty. If it were not for your majesty, you will have a hard life until you die!"

   "Long live the Grand Duke!"

   "Be loyal to your Majesty the Grand Duke!"

   The serfs cheered loudly. They had initially recognized their identity as residents of the north, and the rest only needed to be solved by living in that environment.

Reiner’s recruitment activities are underway. Count Leyland and Count Varas went to recruiting points one by one to select new recruits~lightnovelpub.net~ The newly formed army must meet certain standards, whether it is from For physical fitness or training, Chengdu must choose the best from among the militias to join the army.

   The recruitment process went very smoothly, and all of these militiamen hoped to be able to serve in Rainer’s army.

  Although the salary is very high, but secondly, the military's tax exemption policy, the land and honor for beheading the enemy are what they are pursuing more.

   Therefore, these militiamen have tried their best to succeed in joining the army and become a true professional soldier.

   Within one month, the recruitment of 2,400 new recruits was completed, and Earl Leyland and Earl Varas took these soldiers back to the outside of Mecalon City.

  The construction of the new barracks has also been completed. These soldiers will receive a year of training. One year of training will allow their quality to basically equal the veterans, and the rest is practical training.

  The Klads in the north will be their best opponents. The combat power is not particularly powerful but crazy enough to not bring huge casualties to the soldiers, but it can make them realize the real battlefield.

   In addition to Rainer’s direct army, the vassal army is also intensively retraining and reorganizing, and those with empty numbers are also re-recruiting soldiers for training.
