Black Iron Crown

However, Lena knew in his heart that it was simply unrealistic for him to fight this era alone. The low-productivity empires still regarded the nobles as gods, and the power in the hands of the nobles was even the systematic Lena. There is no way to contend.

　　 The nobles will unite to deal with him, a betrayer who moved the interests of all the nobles, and he will not be able to control the situation at that time.

It is not realistic to want to completely abolish the aristocracy, but he still will not give up. At least he has to be prepared first, and, like the previous Europeans, use productive forces to promote the development of ideas, and then let these nobles bow to the royal power. .

Even if he knows that this process may take hundreds or even hundreds of years, but he doesn’t care. This can be done by his sons, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. It has little to do with him. The only thing he has to do now is to integrate his hands as much as possible. The power in here, complete the main task as soon as possible to recover the lost lifespan, as long as it can ensure that more than 60% of the land after the establishment of the empire is in their own hands.

　　 Taking over Carnburg, Rainer quickly moved closer to the territory of Baron Ruenf and Baron Barry. In his opinion, Carnburg was important, but it was just a springboard.

There is no iron ore, there is not much arable land, and Fort Kahn, which has just been devastated by the Klads and has reduced the population, is not so important. A place worthy of Lena's heart.

In fact, among the three territories currently owned by Reiner, Morandburg still has the most resources and the best resources. Although it is close to the boreal forest in the north, they can get a lot of prey and fur from where they can get a lot of prey and fur every spring. And a river that originates from the boreal forests flowing on the territory also makes the annual catch very rich.

After entering the territories of Baron Barre and Baron Ruenf, Reiner ordered the army to act separately to eliminate the remaining forces in the two territories. In just three days, they took the two territories under their command and lost the owner's possession. The two territories did not organize resistance at all. Those squires and residual strength gathered some troops, but they were not the opponents of Sergeants Morland at all.

　　 took the recruits to solve the opponent by three times and five and two. After removing all the factors that were not conducive to Lena's rule, the two territories became his territory naturally.

　　 But to be honest, Rainer was still a little worried, and stationed some of the recruits in the castle to maintain his rule, but there were not enough officials to rule here. He still felt that there was a shortcoming.

　　The thoughts of the people of the Celestial Dynasty are still deeply imprinted in his bones and integrated into his blood. Even if he cannot change the status quo of the world, he also wants to train a group of officials to help him manage the residents and territories.

　　 But there is no way. In this era, there are too few people who can read. Not one person in 10,000 people may be able to read, and even some nobles do not know one big hand.

Those who can write their own names are already extraordinary cultural people among ordinary people. This is also one of the reasons for the rise of the noble system. The great aristocrats simply do not have so many officials to help them manage their territories, and they are not too much. It is inevitable that there will be chaos or even rebellion in the place of in-depth management, so it is also a way to divide it out and let the nobles manage it.

But Reiner is different. He has endless possibilities with his back on the system. Even the official class that many nobles can't get is not without him. Then he can expand his direct territory as much as possible, and the nobles do not. Dare to rebel against him.

　　 It is true that he has no source of official talents now, because the official academy for training officials is too expensive. Even the lowest-level junior official academy requires 6,000 merit points to be exchanged.

　　Relatively speaking, it is relatively simple to include the eight baronies in the notice. He now has five baronies and will soon complete the task of eight territories. At that time, there will be a junior official academy for the task reward.

The days after crossing over have been very comfortable. The newly-incorporated territories have made his rule a lot wider. His current territory is a narrow and long stick-like terrain. He plans to take a rest this year and wait until the food is harvested before opening the first. The second wave of offensive.

At least he has to wait until the sugar is made and he has a huge income and can afford enough system soldiers before he can continue to expand his territory. His current military strength is simply not enough to control more territories. Now his situation is just like that. Even if all the recruits were sent out and only the Morand sergeants were stationed at Fort Morand, some of them seemed stretched, let alone other things.

"Sir Cod, we have to expand our forces! Now my soldiers are not enough to complete the task of guarding our territory, not to mention our journey will not end here. I want greater rights and more. Land, more subjects!" Rainer was sitting in the dim study, and the oil lamp on the table flickered flickering and dimming the night shadows shining in the room.

"But... our current situation does not seem to be suitable for recruiting more soldiers. You know that our stock of food is running out. If we recruit more soldiers, it might be difficult to sustain the harvest this year!" Sir Cod said in distress. .

Reiner frowned when he heard the words. What he said was indeed the current fact. The food harvested every year was not a lot. Last year, it was sold to other places in exchange for some gold coins. Every year, Fort Merland only kept enough. There is enough food for myself and the soldiers.

　　 But now Rainer already has a group of Sergeants Morande, not to mention that he has recruited fifty recruits again. If this is the case, the food is indeed a little stretched.

After thinking for a while, Rainer said helplessly: "Well, then let's conduct temporary training for the residents so that they can also have the ability to defend themselves, but I will not sell any more after the autumn harvest this year. Food, I must expand my army!"

　　 "Follow your orders!" Sir Cod said respectfully.

　　At the same time, the messenger of Count Zhebo was also running around in the castles of several barons.

"You mean, as long as we can unite and eliminate Baron Reiner and Baron Kahn, then their territory can be ours?" a middle nobleman asked, touching his unshaven chin~www.wuxiahere.com ~Yes, dear Lord Baron, the earl said that he can fully support you, they will withstand the accountability of the royal family, let you carve up the territory of the Northland Morand family! You know that he has two baronies, and you will make a lot of money! "The messenger said.

　　 "Well, did Baron Slien and Baron Kermai agree?" the baron asked cautiously.

　　 "Of course, they trust Lord Earl very much and have agreed to this plan. Now you are the only thing left, Lord Pan Bo!" The messenger said, "I believe you will agree to it too?"

　　 Baron Penbo thought for a moment, and then smiled: "Of course, I don’t trust the earl less than the two of them, and of course I will follow the plan of the earl!"

　　 "That's great, Lord Baron, I will go back and report to Lord Earl your trust in him!" The messenger walked out of Baron Pambo's room with a smile on his mouth.

　　 Two days later, the messenger said to the person in front of him with the same smile: "Yes, Lord Baron, Baron Pambo has also accepted Lord Baron's plan. Of course Baron Kemei agreed, so you don't have to worry at all!"

　　After thinking for a while, Baron Slien nodded and said: "If this is the case, then I also participate in Lord Earl's plan. How can I fail Lord Earl's trust in me?"

　　 "That's great, I will definitely bring your feelings for Lord Earl, then please allow me to say goodbye!"

　　 "Oh, of course, you can leave anytime!" said Baron Slien.

　　 left the room, the smile on the messenger's face was even more obvious. A small messenger played the three big figures between his palms, and he was very proud.
