Black Iron Crown

Earl Redmara and others were silent, but the lord on Reiner's side was elated after hearing these conditions.

War horses and population are nothing to them, but the whole 100,000 gold coins and 400 kilometers of territory make them salivate.

For these lords, territory and gold coins are what they value the most, even for the lords who like to have fun.

Earl Redmara stared at the eloquent Reiner dumbfounded, not knowing how to answer.

"This is our condition, are you willing to meet it?" Reiner asked complacently.

Count Redmara remained silent, he didn't know how to answer, or he didn't know how to refuse.

The atmosphere froze at this moment.

It took a while for Earl Redmara to recover, his brows filled with unconcealable indignation, and he said, "Grand Duke Rainer, don't you think your conditions are too much?"

The rest of the upstarts also looked at Reiner with angry expressions.

"Is it too much? I don't think this is too much compared to what you have done. These conditions must be met, otherwise we will break into the imperial capital and take it ourselves!"

Reiner didn't give in at all, and said aggressively.

The Earl Redmara who said this was speechless. He looked at Reiner angrily, but he couldn't find any refutation.

"It's impossible, you have to lower your standards, we can't get these things out at all!" Earl Redmara glanced at the upstarts behind him, and said firmly.

He knew that the treasury in the imperial capital was already empty at this time, and if he agreed to the 100,000 gold coins requested by Leiner, he would undoubtedly have to ask these new rich to pay.

However, wanting to get money out of the hands of the upstarts is no less than pulling teeth out of the tiger's mouth. These people are all iron cocks. At that time, Reiner's army was about to be overwhelmed and could not force them to use money to expand the army. , How could it be possible for them to come up with money now.

If he agrees to this request, then the upstarts will inevitably alienate him, and his power will disappear in smoke.

Therefore, even under the threat of Reiner, he has no intention of letting go.

Lena's eyes narrowed slightly,

There was a sichuan character twisted between the eyebrows, staring at Earl Redmara's eyes to put pressure on him.

He didn't say a word, the atmosphere gradually solidified, and Earl Redmara was under a lot of pressure.

The upstarts looked at Rainer and Earl Redmara, and almost held their breath. Whether their wealth can be preserved depends on a negotiation between the two sides today.

And the vassals and upstarts behind Leiner also stare at the two of them. Whether they can get the greatest benefit depends on whether Leiner can persuade the other party.

"Okay... Since it is so difficult for you to pay, then I can lower some conditions, 60,000 gold coins, how about it, this is my bottom line!"

The upstarts couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief after hearing this. Although 60,000 gold coins is also a lot, it is already very good compared to 100,000 gold coins.

Although taking out the money will make them extremely heartbroken, it will not go bankrupt and they can retain some wealth.

The vassals and royal lords behind Leiner were a little disappointed, and gave up a full 40,000 gold coins in one mouthful, which made them very regretful.

But in the final analysis, it is not bad to be able to get 60,000 gold coins, even if it is divided evenly, everyone can get a lot.

Count Redmara looked at the expressions of the upstarts behind him, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "That's great, since that's the case, we've made a deal, 60,000 gold coins!"

Reiner nodded with a smile, and then continued: "Wait, I haven't finished my conditions yet!"

"Huh?" Earl Redmara frowned and looked at Lainer in confusion: "Haven't we already reached a consensus?"

"Haha, indeed, it is true that we have reached a consensus, but since I have given up part of the gold coins, I must make up for it from other places. Now I want all the territories within 500 kilometers south of Angron Castle!"

"Beautiful!" Earl Redmara cheered in a low voice.

All the lords on Leiner's side also showed joy. They thought that Leiner gave up 40,000 gold coins for nothing, but they didn't expect to make up for it in other places.

What are gold coins in front of the territory? That is a good thing that can be passed on to future generations. The territory in your hands is more secure and affordable than gold coins.

Earl Redmara looked at Reiner with a cloudy expression: "Is it true that we can't talk anymore?"

"There is no need to talk about it. This is a hard standard. If you can't satisfy me, then the only solution is war!"

Earl Redmara looked at the lords behind him.

Although these upstarts are also very dissatisfied with Reiner's conditions, they can only regress in order to save their own lives.

Looking at the upstarts who nodded slightly, Earl Redmara could only say helplessly: "Well then...all the territory five hundred kilometers south of Angron Castle belongs to you!"

This condition seems to be very harsh, but in fact it is not completely unacceptable to the upstarts.

The territory 500 kilometers south of Fort Angron is basically under the direct control of the royal family. Giving up the interests of the royal family to the royal lords will not harm the interests of the upstarts.

Why not do it if you can solve the immediate crisis without losing your own interests?

"Very good!" Reiner put on a smile on his face: "Very wise choice, Earl Redmara, I'm glad you made the right decision!"

"Then, what about the remaining two requirements? Eight hundred real, pure-blood horses that have reached the standard height and have been trained, and one hundred thousand residents. Are you willing to agree?"

Earl Redmara nodded helplessly, his eyes full of disappointment.

Although the 800 war horses are heartbreaking, it is not impossible to get them out. Before the imperial capital formed the heavy cavalry and spent a lot of resources to buy a lot of war horses, it is not a big deal to hand them over to them now.

The only thing that can't be satisfied is the population of 100,000.

The population of the entire imperial capital is less than 100,000, where to raise 100,000 people to give to Lena.

Hearing Earl Redmara's difficulties, Reiner just smiled slightly and said: "It's okay, we can raise the population from this land when we leave, and if the population we take away is not enough, you can give it back to us in the future." send over!"

Reiner's words made Earl Redmara speechless. He had never seen a lord who valued population so much.

Indeed, population is very important, but there is a limit to the number of people a territory can carry. If there are too many people, more food will be consumed to feed them.

This is the thinking of all the upstarts and nobles of the imperial capital, and even many royal lords think so, except for Lena and his vassals.

This cannot be blamed on them. Although short-sightedness is part of the reason, the serf system is more of the reason.

They suffocate to maintain a certain number of serfs to do farm work for themselves. If the number is too large, it will be a burden.
