Black Iron Crown

Reiner's vassals finally did not dare to do what they want, everyone of them knows that His Majesty's intelligence network is extremely complete and well-informed. Although no one is responsible for the affairs of Baron Logan in the palace, everyone is very concerned about it. I know it well.

Therefore, after Leiner issued the official order, they carried it out very faithfully, not only reorganizing their original army one by one, but also starting to recruit new soldiers from the self-cultivating farmers and then train them.

For a while, the entire northern border fell into a state of resolute soldiers. The fat and clumsy soldiers before managed to lose weight after four months of intensive training.

Although there is still some fat left on their bodies, it seems clear that in at most three months, they will be able to return to their best condition three years ago, when they were still on the battlefield.

Reiner's own army is also in its infancy at this time. The recruits recruited from the militia have a good training foundation and physical fitness. After the first month of hardship, their current training has gradually stepped into the Good environment.

Even Earl Ryland submitted a document to Reiner to reduce the training time as appropriate, hoping to go to the frigid forest as soon as possible to find Carat's people to practice for the soldiers.

However, just to be on the safe side, Reiner rejected this proposal and asked the soldiers to train for a full year according to the original plan, and then go to the baptism of actual combat.

It is worth mentioning that during these four months, Earl Redmara delivered all the 150,000 people and 50,000 gold coins agreed upon at the beginning one after another.

With these two most important resources in hand, Reiner no longer had such a great desire for the remaining 200 bolts of velvet, but Earl Redmara sent them over wisely.

In addition, during this period of time, the commercial development of the northern border has once again grown rapidly. Before that, due to the limitation of the population, the commercial growth had gradually slowed down, but the sudden increase in the past few months compared to before Nearly 10 percent, and there are signs of continued growth in the number of cases.

This was caused by the abolition of tariffs on all northern merchants by the imperial capital. What I want to say is that the tariffs at this time are not the same as the tariffs in Leiner's previous life. The abolition of tariffs between countries means that all taxes are exempted.

Including the toll and city tax, even entering the territories of the lords and vassals in various places does not need to pay taxes, this is the exemption from customs duties.

It is conceivable how competitive the goods in the hands of the merchants in the northern border will be. In addition to dumping, there will be even higher profits, but these profits need to be paid once when they are brought to the northern border. Such a difference makes Commercial taxation in the North has risen dramatically.

The 150,000 people have been efficiently dealt with by the officials, and they have been dispersed and placed in Leiner's huge territory.

After making an agreement with Earl Redmara to claim the population, Leiner immediately ordered Sir Baragon to lead his team and slaves to build village houses wantonly.

Rainer does not have high requirements for these houses, only needing to be able to shelter from the cold and ensure the safety of residents.

In addition, Reiner ordered people to select locations for these villages, and then asked Sir Baragon to lead an engineering team to and from these locations, and build fifty or sixty houses in each place.

This is about the size of a village. On average, there are five people in each household, and a population of 150,000 is 30,000 households.

for almost a year,

The engineering team also built about 12,000 houses, which means that more than 300 new villages were formed.

But even so, all the serfs still couldn't have their own houses. About 80,000 serfs were homeless, and the most terrifying winter in the northern border was about to come.

Reluctantly, Rainer could only let the residents in the territory open their own houses to accept these serfs, and at the same time promised that the families who accepted the serfs could reduce their taxes by 10% in the next two years.

The serfs would not be idle in this winter. Before the winter completely came, Leiner asked some serfs who did not have much land around them to reclaim, and they counted as much as they reclaimed, until the arrival of midwinter.

Although Leiner has 2.1 million acres of idle farmland in his hands, these farmlands are accumulated by the old residents of the northern border over the years during their slack time, and they are paid to Leiner as taxes.

Reiner does not intend to let these serfs get something for nothing, they must reclaim the same amount of farmland within 20 years and hand it over to Reiner, and Reiner allocates 30 acres of arable land to each of these serfs .

If there are 30,000 households, that means 900,000 mu of cultivated land has been allocated. The total amount of cultivated land in the entire northern region is more than 7.7 million mu. Now 6.5 million mu of land has been cultivated.

7.7 million mu is a very exaggerated number. To the naked eye, 7.7 million mu of arable land does not seem to be much, but it is already nearly one million mu larger than all the arable land owned by the royal family.

How many people are there in the north, and how many people are there under the royal family? The royal family has a population of more than 6 million, while Leiner has only 350,000 people. Even if 150,000 people are added There are only 500,000 residents in China.

This kind of comparison of the number of people is completely two concepts. In more than ten years, the arable land area that Leiner can control has increased from the original 15,000 mu to the current 7.7 million mu. This is a qualitative leap.

Reiner was very satisfied with the status quo of the territory, he did not interfere in any way, and planned to develop step by step like this.

In the palace of Bazalan, the oil lamp flickers on and off in the magnificent bedroom. Two figures are projected on the wall by the candlelight. One of them is standing by the bed, while the other is kneeling on the ground with one knee, lying on the other side. In front of one person.

"Your Majesty...Your Majesty...don't worry, I will obey your orders and protect your safety!"

"That would be the best. You are in charge of the palace guards. My safety depends entirely on you. Don't let me down!" A female voice sounded, and the flickering candlelight illuminated this beautiful Face.

Mekasha looked at the burly man in front of her and said: "I only love you, I hope you don't let me down... After all, I'm just a girl, and your Majesty is moody, so I will rely on you from now on! "

"That's natural, that's natural!" The head of the palace guard patted his sweaty chest and said, "Your Majesty, your enemy is my enemy, and I will definitely protect your safety!"

"That's good..." Mekasha pretended to be weak and said, "The only one I can trust... is you..."

After finishing speaking, Mekasha smiled softly and waved at him.

Candle shadows flicker, rain beats pear blossoms.

Mekasha sat on the edge of the bed in a daze, with no light in her eyes, but she quickly adjusted, became dignified again, and shouted towards the door: "Asha, prepare me to take a bath Water! I'm going to take a shower in half an hour!"
