Black Iron Crown

After 　　 rescued the Earl of Redmara, he hurriedly left here with his subordinates, and Erlener also found property worth about ten gold coins from the robbers' cave.

　　 Don't look at the value of only ten gold coins. You must know that ten gold coins are the number of expenditures for half a year by the Moland family in the city of okay. This group of robbers can only gain such wealth for several years. It is already very difficult.

　　 And what makes Lena even more happy is that he has won seventy-five merits in this battle, which means that if he wants to, he can exchange three Scarlet Gryphon knights from the system again.

　　 However, Leiner still tends to store his merits in case of emergency.

　　 In the next time, Rainer focused all his energy on controlling the territory and the things of the territory.

　　 He was so content with the decadent life of the feudal aristocracy, completely betraying his own class, and forgetting the excellent education he received under the red flag.

　　 The sun hung high, shining into the room from the window, and two beautiful maids stood in the room, waiting for the master to wake up, holding the tub for washing and the soft and delicate linen towels.

　　 "Hmm..." Rainer snorted unconsciously, opened his eyes slowly, looked at the two maids standing next to him, and slowly sat up.

Seeing this, the two maids hurried forward to serve. One took a wet towel from the warm water and gently wiped Lena’s face, while the other took the clothes Lena needed to wear in his hand and waited for help. He wears.

　　 "It's a decadent life!" After enjoying the maid's service, Lena sighed in his heart.

　　 The maid holding the towel backed away, and another maid holding the clothes came forward to put on Lena. When he completely lifted his quilt, the physical condition caused by the morning inevitably appeared in front of the little maid.

　　 But even so, the two of them still serve Leiner meticulously, even though their blushing cheeks speak for themselves.

　　 Looking at the two delicate girls in front of him, his heart couldn't help but sway. As a five-good young man in the new century, he certainly has no close and beautiful intimacy with the opposite sex.

　　 Although he desires, but his own conditions are completely unachievable, but in this world, he is also a member of the aristocratic master. As a big landlord under the feudal system, what is it to have two maids?

　　 Of course, these two lovely little maids had already been taken into the room by him. After one bite on their cheeks, he walked out of the room refreshedly.

　　 It was early autumn at this time, and the weather had begun to turn slightly colder, especially in the Morandburg area, which was located in the north.

　　 The seeds sown in the spring have matured at this time. The golden wheat rustles under the blow of the autumn wind. One by one serfs and a few free people are harvesting their own food in the farmland.

　　 A serf is different from a free man. The serf is the lord, that is, the property of Lena, and the tax that needs to be paid accounts for 70% to 80%.

　　 But the free people are different. They only need to pay 20% to 30% of their income. The favorable living conditions also make their bodies stronger. For example, the army under Reiner has more free people.

　　 walked into the restaurant, the cooked broth and white bread with fair taste were placed on the table, besides some fruits, the table was decorated a lot more beautifully.

This white bread is not the other white bread. It is different from the soft, sweet and sour bread filled with the fragrance of wheat in the impression of Reiner. It is not so much bread, as it is a kind of unleavened flour-baked flour. cake.

　　 not only does not have a soft and sweet taste, it is rather dry and hard. It chews a bit similar to the pasta cakes that Lenner ate in the countryside in his previous life.

　　 That's it, it's still a rare luxury and delicacy in this era. Ordinary free people still eat black bread. As for serfs, even low-quality black bread mixed with sawdust or sand is hard to eat.

　　 is mostly cheap and very poor-tasting wild oats, mixed with bitter weeds, boiled into a pot of oatmeal with a weird taste.

This is also the main culprit for the short stature of the leaders under Leiner's rule. Leiner wanted to improve this situation very much. He became a lord and won the support of the people, not to mention, that he could have a group of tall and strong people. The source of troops is also very worthwhile.

　　 But this is not a day's work after all, it will take years or even decades to really improve.

　　 In addition to Rainer, there are Rainer's uncle Sir Cod, and his eldest son, a senior trainee knight, Rainer's cousin Lumbarre.

　　 Rainer’s younger brother Wend, Rainer’s younger sister Fiana, and Rainer’s nominal mother, Mrs. Moreland.

　　 Two guards wearing robes, leather and chain armor, holding short spears and wearing long swords guarded the door. The cook in the castle and two cooks stood by the dining table.

　　 The clerk Basel in the castle stood respectfully next to the wooden seat on the long wooden table. This was Reiner’s exclusive position, and it was also the exclusive position of his father.

　　 Several maids were also standing by the dining table, respectfully waiting for the family to dine.

The two guards respectfully saluted Leiner. He walked through the door and sat on the table that belonged to him. As this was just a meal between ordinary family members, everyone did not agree. He didn't stand up and salute, just said hello.

　　 During the meal, Rainer asked Sir Cod casually: "Dear Uncle, has anything happened on the territory recently?"

　　Rainer hasn't traveled for a long time, he hasn't established a completely firm rule over the territory, and he is not very informed for the news. He hasn't cultivated his own intelligence organization.

　　 He has to acquire the status of the territory from all aspects, but in the future, he will also vigorously cultivate a power that is completely loyal to him. He always has a sense of distrust of the power left by this physical father.

　　 "Nothing happened, everything in the territory is calm!" Sir Cod said.

On the same day, Reiner began to count the state of the territory in his study. According to statistics so far, the total number of serfs and freemen in the Morandburg area totaled more than 2,100 people. Of course, this does not include A fugitive slave in order to avoid paying taxes.

The farmland belonging to the Merland family is about 15,000 acres. In fact, the entire Fort Merland has almost 25,000 acres of land. The other 5,000 acres are allocated to the knights. Owned by the Feiyi village, as a branch of the royal family that has been entrusted here in the past 100 years, the territory of the Merland family is still relatively concentrated.

In addition, there are 120 sheep, 10 cattle, 15 farm horses, 7 mills, 20 horses, and 5 war horses. They consume more food every day than Lena’s army. Many, but because their output is also huge, it is quite cost-effective. After counting these, Reiner finally has a clear understanding of his property.

　　 And the days are passing by, and winter is gradually coming.
