Black Iron Crown

Reiner nodded, and said blankly: "You mean you want to find something to do under my command?"

"Yes, my lord earl, I have heard of your name a year ago, you are so wise, brave and kind, and a powerful army surrounds you. Crush all enemies, the originally bitter, cold and barren background has gradually become rich under your governance, the residents live and work in peace and contentment, the rights of knights and lords are guaranteed, you are simply the messenger given to this land by the Holy Father! You will bring happiness and Grace is brought to everyone!"

Ai Zexi suddenly knelt down on one knee, pressed his right hand on the heart of his left chest, and looked at Reiner with a sincere expression, as if seeing the so-called incarnation of the Holy Father, full of worship and devotion.

"So, please allow me, a humble admirer of you, who dreams of following you and follow you, and spread your light on every resident, so that they can all be bathed in your grace! Please allow, allow the humble Aizexi to do your best for you!"

Looking at Aizexi who was kneeling on the ground, Reiner's expression was slightly subtle.

I have to say that this so-called economist is not only good at economics, but also has good eloquence and acting skills.

Reiner asked himself if he was not a character whose charisma is so strong that people would worship him. Facing Ai Zexi's superb acting skills and the words that made people feel at ease after hearing it, his heart was already vigilant.

That's what flattering is all about. If you don't do your homework to find out what kind of character Reiner really is, and just follow the routine to flatter Reiner, it will naturally have the opposite effect.

Originally, the bad impression in Reiner's mind became even worse.

Reiner said lightly: "Okay, let's put this matter aside for now. Osa and I still have something to discuss. You can go to the servant to arrange a room for you. I will give you an answer after I think about it!"

Hearing this, the expression on Ai Zexi's face, which perfectly blended exaggeration and nature, froze for a moment, and then continued to smile: "Yes, Lord Earl, I won't bother you anymore!"

After Ai Zexi left the study, Reiner cast a glance at Osa, and saw that he no longer had the previous arrogance and domineering, with a flattering smile on his face.

"Tell me, what do you mean?"

"Hey..." Osamei laughed, then bowed her shoulders and shrank her back, humbly almost lying on the ground, and said in the most obscene tone: "Master Earl, we are here to bring you benefits! We Ziwang has obtained all kinds of northern specialties from you,

Top-quality animal hides, top-quality pine resin, top-quality honey, these are what we hope to get from you..."

For his words, Reiner didn't react for the time being, because he knew that the other party wanted much more than that.

Seeing that Lena had no expression or expression, Osa lowered his body even lower: "Of course...if possible, we also hope to get some steel and iron armor from you..."

He seemed trembling when he said these words, maybe he also knew that such a request was rude, so he only dared to observe Reiner from the corner of his eye, for fear that he would be dissatisfied and cut himself off directly.

Lena was silent for a while, not answering his words.

If he didn't speak, Osa wouldn't dare to make a single move.

He neither dared to raise his head nor stand up straight, so he stood in a bowed posture for a long time.

On the other hand, Reiner was flipping through the files on the table casually.

However, although he seemed to be careless, he was actually thinking about how to organize the greater interests in his heart.

As a great lord in command of the northern border and the largest lord in the entire territory of the Ridkar Empire, he didn't need to look at the face of a small trading company.

The merchants in this era are not strong, and capitalism is still very early.

Perhaps the top trading houses in the Kingdom of Bukend and the southern part of the empire might make him feel a little afraid now, but a northern trading house like this is not worthy of being regarded by him.

After a long time, Leiner put down the documents in his hand, leaned on the bearskin chair behind him, and said lightly: "Others are fine, but steel and armor are not, so don't even think about it!"

There was a look of disappointment on Osa's face, but he quickly covered it up and continued: "Then, can the Earl grant us some preferential privileges? Such as tax exemption or discount?"

Reiner frowned when he heard the words and was a little displeased. Such a small firm still wants to enjoy privileges in its own territory?

What a dream!

Reiner frowned and said directly: "Don't think about it, no one can have privileges in my territory, except the emperor!"

"If you want to come here to do business, I don't make it difficult for you, but don't want to have any preferential treatment! I just gave you the right to do business. If you let me know that you have any illegal behavior, then don't blame me for taking too much action." Ruthless!"

"do you understand?"

Intimidated by Reiner, Osa's face turned pale again, and the fear that had disappeared lingered in his heart again.

Sweat completely soaked the clothes on his back, and immediately after Reiner told him to retreat, he fled out of Reiner's study with his tail between his legs.

Looking at the other party's appearance, Leiner couldn't help but sneered. After unifying the entire Northern Territory, he also became proud. The seventeen-year-old Earl, why can't he be proud?

After Osa left, Reiner didn't stay idle, and hurried to the Junior Official Academy, because there was the system's first month's output.

Thirty junior officials have been trained from somewhere. They are all the best candidates for villages and small towns and chief officials. They are literate, have a certain understanding of the Basic Law, and also have a certain force foundation. Some necessary qualities are also available.

It can be said that no one is more suitable for Leiner's current territory than them.

Arriving at the Junior Official Academy, 30 people wearing decent clothes made of linen and leather accessories appeared out of thin air. They all seemed to be in good spirits.

"I am willing to serve you, my lord Earl!"

When Reiner first entered, they looked a little dull, but after seeing Reiner, their eyes were instantly filled with inspiration.

Reiner knew this was because these people had been infused with souls, that is to say, from now on, they were real people with feelings.

"Very good!" Lenamin pursed his lips and looked at the group of people excitedly. He wanted to shout excitedly.

He had also received systematic rewards from junior officials in the past, so he knew how useful these people were. Those villages with officials were still the wealthiest and most stable areas.

Now thirty people came to him all at once, how could he not be excited?
