Black Iron Crown

"Four stars?" Reiner secretly delighted in his heart.

Then he quickly chose the materialization option, and materialized this Sir Baragon in front of him.

As the halo flashed by, a middle-aged man wearing a plain robe and a short beard appeared in front of Reiner.

"My lord Earl, Sir Baragon serves you!" Sir Baragon knelt on one knee and respectfully said to Reiner.

Sir Baragon is an old man with white hair, with some gold streaks mixed in between the white hair. From his high but wrinkled nose bridge, it can be seen that he was once a handsome man.

Reiner nodded and said with a smile: "You don't have to be polite, you will become my subject, I have a lot of things for you to deal with!"

"Baragon will work for it!" Sir Baragon stood up straight, staring at Reiner and said.

His eyes are light green. Although there are many wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, his eyes are very sharp. At first glance, he has the temperament cultivated by being in a high position all year round.

Reiner nodded and said: "I will arrange a room for you in my castle, and you can ask the guards to lead the way to Baron Cod in a while, he is my uncle and also the prime minister of my court, you are in charge of my territory You have a week to familiarize yourself with the construction of all the buildings and the arrangements of various craftsmen!"

Reiner tapped the table lightly: "At the same time, I also have many slaves at your disposal, but if you want the residents under my command to serve, you need my permission and seal!"

"Yes, my lord, Baragon respectfully obeys your orders!"

Sir Baragon was like a generous elder in front of Reiner, he would not fluctuate too much, and would always be as stable as a mountain.

"Very well, I'm about to carry out a large-scale construction project on the territory, your work is very important!" Reiner nodded and said: "Okay, you can let the guard at the gate take you to find Baron Cod!"

"Oh, by the way, Aizexi is my treasurer, if you need to spend money, go to him, he will pass your request to me, and then I will issue instructions!"

Sir Baragon bowed towards Reiner, and then left the study unhurriedly.

Now Reiner's court has initially formed a set of government affairs team. Baron Codd, as Reiner's family member and uncle, has become the prime minister of Reiner's court. Contributed to business development in the environment and became Treasurer.

In terms of intelligence, Baron Logan, the former colonial spy chief, is definitely no worse than anyone in this era. His spy organization has basically covered the entire northern border in the past half a year.

Not to mention expanding outward, but if there is any disturbance within the northern border, the file will be placed on Leiner's desk within a few days.

In terms of military affairs, Baron Ryland and Baron Valas are in charge of the infantry and cavalry respectively. In theory, the two are on equal footing, but in fact it is Baron Ryland who makes the decisions in many cases.

Baron Valas had a strong sergeant air, and he was definitely familiar with commanding cavalry on the battlefield. Baron Leyland, who had only commanded infantry in combat, was definitely not as good as him in this regard.

However, Baron Ryland was once a lord after all, and he was very good at dealing with matters in the barracks, as well as training and disability treatment.

Therefore, in addition to fighting wars, Baron Leyland was more responsible for the military.

For example, now, there is a document signed by Baron Leyland in front of Reiner, which is a proposal on the retirement and placement of disabled soldiers and the soldiers who provide pensions to the families of dead soldiers.

Leiner was rich and powerful because of selling armor. In order to relieve the soldiers' worries, every soldier who died in battle paid them a pension of five silver coins, which was their salary for more than three years.

In addition, their family will only pay 10% of the agricultural tax within ten years, and will receive a certain amount of in-kind compensation from Reiner every year.

After learning from Aizexi that the current handicraft industry in the territory is relatively developed, Leiner also stipulated that they should give priority to purchasing their arrow shafts and gun shafts at a price higher than 10% of the market price.

When the situation permits, their children over the age of twelve are incorporated into the militia sequence, trained by local veterans, breakfast and lunch are provided every day, and they receive militarized management and training.

After the age of eighteen, if the number is sufficient, Reiner will give up conscription from the residents, but incorporate these militias into the army.

This series of pension policies allowed the soldiers under Leiner's command to be brave and fearless. Although it brought a little financial burden to Leiner, it was still very cost-effective compared to the combat effectiveness of the soldiers.

Don't think it's cruel to give priority to the widows of fallen soldiers to join the army. Reiner knows that becoming an army member within his own territory is definitely the best treatment most people want to get at the same time.

Not only because of Reiner's high salary, good food, and no worries, this is just a relatively big advantage.

In other lords, the local residents are also very willing to join the lord's army, because after becoming a regular army, he can dominate the neighbors and receive a salary at the same time, even if the illegal income is much higher than their salary .

Rainer gave priority to these widows to join the army, which is another manifestation of pensions.

In addition to these dead soldiers, there are hundreds of disabled soldiers who can no longer go to battle to kill the enemy, and at the same time face the dilemma of being unable to work.

Naturally, Lehner couldn't let them die, so the follow-up compensation came.

Lehner has no clear regulations on the compensation for disabled soldiers, so he can only make a temporary decision now.

Reiner picked up the charcoal pencil and began to write on the parchment.

"These people's inability to work is a big problem... umm... Let's assign a Klade slave to each household! Let them work!"

"Just like the soldiers who died in battle, five silver coins will be paid..."

"If the tax is reduced... just pay 20%, after all, you haven't died yet."

Reiner has now learned a lot about the aristocratic style of peeling the skin and spinal cord. Since he is alive, he must pay taxes to me!

"We can let them serve as the examiners of the militia, at worst, they will be paid every month!"

Reiner wrote and drew on the parchment, which was to determine the pensions of these disabled and dead soldiers.

But other than that, other meritorious soldiers also need rewards.

The three to five beasts allocated to each person before were indeed rewards, but the real military achievements have not yet been distributed.

But fortunately, Reiner's rewards for killing enemies are often not much in currency, and the real big deal is rewarding cultivated land.

Reiner's reward for killing each person is a copper coin and 50 acres of arable land. After this war, it is estimated that some landlords with arable land of hundreds of acres will be born.

But Reiner doesn't worry about this. The residents are still Reiner's courtiers after all, and the arable land they reclaim also has to pay taxes to Reiner.

Half of these cultivated lands have become Reiner's private property, and none of the citizens are dissatisfied with this, not to mention that the plow horses used for reclamation are all provided by the Earl. ...
