Black Iron Crown

At this moment, a burst of shouts from the soldiers training came from outside the castle, which disturbed Reiner's thoughts.

With a forced smile on his face, Reiner said to Mrs. Moreland: "Perhaps... our time may not be too suitable... in the future... there will be better ones in the future!"

"Really?" Madam Moreland looked at Reiner suspiciously.

"Of course, I defeated Earl Zhebo on the battlefield, and sooner or later the northern border will be in my pocket! Mother, if you find me some more daughters from the baron's family, you will not be worthy of me!" Reiner chose He raised his eyebrows and said.

Mrs. Moreland nodded after hearing this: "You are right, my son is someone who will do great things! The baron's daughter is really not worthy of my son!"

After talking to Mrs. Moreland, Reiner walked to the center of the castle to check the training of the soldiers.

The enlisted militiamen have been handed over by Sir Codd to Sir Leyland, and it is the best choice for him, a professional infantry commander, to personally train them.

Everyone was standing under the sun, holding the long spears that Leiner gave them to carry out stabbing training again and again. Fortunately, it is autumn now, avoiding the scorching heat of summer, otherwise, just standing here, pay attention to let the They complained.

"Push!"

Sir Leyland supervised these recruits at the forefront, but it was the twenty-five Moreland sergeants who were actually in charge of training them.

As the top land melee units, it is more than enough for them to train recruits. If these people can reach their average strength, they will be rare elites.

"How is it? How long will it take for them to form a new combat power?" Reiner walked to Sir Leyland's side and asked.

"Soon Baron, I believe it will be soon! They have all experienced training and have also fought against the enemy on the battlefield. I think they will soon become new combat powers as long as they receive systematic training for a period of time!" Sir Ryland said with a smile on his face, he likes to see this kind of hard-working soldiers the most.

"Very good! Let's do it as soon as possible! Try to let them form enough combat power before the end of winter. They may have an actual combat training in winter. I don't know if the Kraders will come to us to plunder like every year." , if they don't come we'll go find them!"

Reiner licked his lips, with an eager expression on his face. He was not born with a passion for killing, but he was too eager for merit points. If the Klade people didn't come down south, he would send troops to take the initiative to go to the cold forest Go to kill, because the ice sugar cane is about to mature, and he must exchange the sugar-pressing craft machines and workers immediately.

This series of supporting facilities is not cheap, and it takes a full 4,000 merit points to redeem them, which means that he needs to take 4,000 lives to redeem them.

What is the concept of 4,000 human lives? In the entire Merland County, the five baronies combined only have a population of more than 7,000. Reiner needs to slaughter as many people as the Morland County to make it together. .

But to be honest, he really didn't feel anything. He didn't think it was cruel, nor did he feel that he should find some other way. People don't kill themselves, that's what Reiner thinks.

During the training, the soldiers shouted loudly, sending out the spears in their hands again and again, and then retracting them again. At this time, it can be seen that their bare arms are already covered with sweat.

To be honest, it was the first time Reiner saw someone's sweat dripping down their elbows.

Kerim was also holding a four-meter-long spear now, and he kept stabbing the spear out and then retracting it under the shouts of the sergeant in front.

He felt that he was about to collapse. The intensity of this training far surpassed the training he underwent when he was a militiaman. At first, all of them felt that the militia training was too high and cruel, but under the current high-intensity training, they can't even dream of it. Want to go back to the days of the militia.

In this way, their chief, that is, Sergeant Moland, even said that it is easy now, because the armor has not been fully made, and when all the armor is delivered, they will wear the armor for weight-bearing training. It's much scarier than the current training.

After learning the news, the soldiers were naturally complaining. It is true that Leiner made the armor for them shrink a little, mainly because they were afraid that they would not be able to bear such a weight when fighting, but the amount of exercise during training was quite amazing. Yes, if you wear nearly 20 kilograms of armor for training all day, it will be no different from hell.

While the soldiers were training, all the territories under Leiner's command had finally finished harvesting food. After being busy for nearly two months, they were finally able to relax.

According to statistics, after manure and bone meal have been used to increase fertility, the yield of wheat per mu has risen from about 100 kilograms to 150 kilograms this year, a full 50% increase, which is a bumper harvest.

The grain harvested this year alone can feed everyone in the entire territory for five years. Such a bumper harvest made everyone feel extremely excited.

After getting the news, Reiner returned to his release, looked at Logan in front of him, tapped on the table and asked, "How is it? Is there anyone with dirty hands and feet?"

Logan rolled his eyes and said, "Yes, my master, but they haven't dared yet. It's just a small-scale corruption. Each person can charge an extra kilogram of grain at most, which doesn't seem like a big deal. Too much!"

"One or two kilograms per person?" Reiner frowned: "That's really not too much, and it's still within my tolerance..."

To be honest, Reiner is very satisfied with this number. If the number of corruption can be kept within this range, it will not have any impact on the territory.

He still understands the truth that when the water is clear, there will be no fish. The salaries he himself gives these tax officials are not high, and most of them are relatives of the Murand family. It would be fine if they were ordinary people, but Relying on the salary paid by Reiner is obviously not enough to maintain a more decent life for them.

Therefore, as long as the amount is not too large, Reiner is willing to turn a blind eye and pretend not to know about it.

"Who has taken the most benefits? How many benefits?" Reiner still asked just to be on the safe side.

"It's Viplin from Osas Village. He overcharged each person by 20 kilograms of food on average! He is the most excessive among these people!" Logan lowered his head and said truthfully.

Slightly narrowing his eyes, Reiner showed a dangerous look.

He can allow them not to take too much advantage of himself, but he also has to let these people know what his attitude towards corruption is, otherwise, if there is a first time, there will be a second time, and from ten kilograms there will be one One hundred kilograms, they must be deterred!
