Black Iron Crown

After hearing Reiner's words, Sir Baragon fell silent.

"What? Is it difficult?"

"Yes, Lord Earl..." Sir Baragon said with some embarrassment: "Your request may take a long time to be fulfilled. Your territory is too huge, and all you request are wide stone slabs. Every kilometer of the road requires a lot of materials and labor. According to the current construction capacity of the territory, such a large project may take ten years to complete..."

"Ten years?" Reiner frowned. Ten years was beyond his expectations, but after thinking about it, he understood.

The difficulty of building roads is often no less than that of building a castle, not to mention that Reiner can provide Sir Baragon with not much labor. In this era, it is estimated that he is desperate to achieve this speed.

Nodding helplessly, Reiner said: "Okay, I will provide you with enough manpower and material resources, and I need you to pave the road as quickly as possible..."

Leiner felt that the second plan to capture the Klade slaves should start, and now 10,000 slaves are really not enough.

Randomly flipping through the files on the table, Reiner left the study, and asked Earl Jollal to go hunting in the forest.

Riding on a war horse, surrounded by Sarang and Lumbare, Wende was left in the castle to continue his training. He is already fifteen years old this year, and he will officially become a knight in a few years, so he must step up his training.

Reiner was followed by more than a dozen followers, as was Earl Jollal. The two walked side by side, and the dozens of hounds led by the followers barked wildly, shaking the forest.

The group were extremely arrogant, as if they couldn't show their aristocratic status and the Earl's ownership of this forest if they didn't do so.

"Autumn is coming soon, the prey here must be extremely fat!" Earl Jollal became very excited as soon as he entered the forest, he looked around to see if there was any prey that he needed to kill.

"Yes..." Reiner nodded with a smile: "This year's season is very good, and the rain is much more abundant than last year. There will definitely be a good harvest!"

"Aha, I didn't grow any grain this year. My field is full of flax and sisal, you know? The empire's hemp-producing areas are basically in the south. After the southern lords rebelled, the empire lost its source of linen. Makes cloth and clothes very expensive, and I'm going to make a fortune this year!"

Reiner nodded thoughtfully: "That is to say, the empire is very short of clothes to keep out the cold right now?"

"That's right, the rebellion in the south has affected many of the empire's products. The prices of linen, honey, and wine have skyrocketed."

"It seems... I, the shuttle, came at a very good time... After the wool is made into clothes, it is absolutely better than the linen to keep out the cold!" Reiner felt that a golden road had already been placed in front of him.

"Wool degreasing and weaving workshops must be put on the agenda!" Reiner said in his heart.

"Aha! A deer!" The sharp-eyed Earl Jollal pointed to the front and yelled, and then rushed out with a knock on the horse's belly. The followers behind him hurriedly followed up, and the hounds went crazy. Roaring loudly rushed up.

Reiner shook his head, and rode his horse to follow. He was wearing a recurve bow on his waist. Recently, he has become obsessed with archery.

I studied with Tillihan for a while.

It is worth mentioning that after such a long time, Tillihan finally had a knight title and a territory on the grassland. Reiner allowed him to take the cavalry archers to capture the leaders for himself, Now he has a small tribe of more than 300 people.

Leiner followed, and as soon as he saw Earl Jolar, he found that several hounds were already biting the deer frantically, and Earl Jolar ended its life with a long sword.

"Haha, Earl Rainer! Look at my prey! We have venison to eat tonight!" Several hounds let go of their mouths, and Earl Jolar cut off a few pieces of venison and threw it on the ground. Eaten up by the hounds.

After a day of hunting, the two had a lot of harvest. Reiner hunted a black wolf and two hares, and Earl Jollal had a deer and a wild dog.

That night, the two slept in the camp.

Earl Jollal handed over a roasted half-baked venison leg, and said, "By the way, Earl Rainer, I sang something called sugar in the imperial capital. I still can't remember the taste. Sir Horn said that you gave it to me. His gift, I wonder if you can give me some of that thing?"

Earl Jollal had a straightforward temper and didn't have so many twists and turns. He regarded Reiner as a friend, so he asked for it directly.

"Aha, I'm going to give you some if you don't tell me! But the quantity won't be a lot, it's really hard to get that thing out!"

"No problem, just a little bit, enough to eat. If you increase your production in the future, I hope you can sell me more!"

"Your territory has not grown food this year, so how will you spend this year?"

"Haha, of course I bought it from you, my brother!"

Earl Choral said with a smile: "Originally, I planned to buy food from other places, but I changed my mind after seeing that you couldn't finish the food here. I still want to talk to you some time later! "

"No problem, I will give you some discounts, I can sell as much as you want!"

Reiner is happy to sell the grain to Earl Jolar, and now he is not short of grain at all. The 100,000 tons of grain harvested last year still have more than 70,000 tons left. This is the result of going out to fight, otherwise it will be There are more left.

At the current stage, there are a lot of gold coins in Reiner's account, which is completely earned by blood.

Earl Jollal stayed in Mecaron for a while and then left, and Mecaron also started the autumn harvest activities in full swing.

The citizens holding iron sickles have been busy in the fields from morning to night, no matter men, women, old or young, even children of seven or eight years old have contributed their strength.

Mountains of wheat, beans, and alfalfa were transported to residents' homes in bundles, and some people's homes couldn't even pile up and had to be thrown outside.

The autumn harvest activities continued until winter approached, and the weather gradually became colder, so all the food was collected.

180,000 tons, this is the tax collected by Leiner this year. Mountains of grain have filled every warehouse. If Sir Baragon hadn't built several new granaries before the autumn harvest, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to hold so much. food.

Last year, Leiner had sold 50,000 tons of grain, all of which were purchased by Earl Jollal and sold to him at a price of one silver coin per ton of grain.

The entry of a full 5,000 gold coins made Leiner's finances much better again, and he finally found out the old grain from last year.

"It seems that Earl Jolar really made a lot of money, otherwise he would never be able to get the five thousand gold coins."

Reiner stood in front of the window of the castle, looking at the snowflakes fluttering like goose feathers outside, thinking so in his heart. ...
