Black Iron Crown

Reiner's current stand is not big, and his orders are executed very efficiently. After Sir Codd received his order, he immediately sent people to various villages to convey Reiner's meaning to the soldiers who were resting. .

No, it shouldn't be said to convey, it should be announcing Reiner's order.

Recently, the economic development of Fort Moreland is very good, and the part of the spoils that the soldiers got is enough for them to squander for a long time.

In addition, because of the compulsory military salary of the system, Leiner has to pay the soldiers a very high salary every month, so it is not necessary to think that this money will be in the hands of this group of bachelors.

After driving the rapid development of winemaking and skin and meat business in Moland Castle, the handicraft industry here also began to germinate.

What leather boots, a fur coat, or a necklace or ring that looks rough but has a rough feeling, more and more people choose to sell some gadgets in their spare time.

Reiner was very happy about this. Sure enough, he even replaced the military pay of the armed soldiers with currency. Just bartering really affected the economic development.

After throwing a lot of money, the business of Murland Castle developed very rapidly, and the rudimentary handicraft industry began to appear. When the handicraft industry developed to a certain level, the local people felt that it was profitable, and even developed into a Factories one after another drive countless people and turn them into workers.

But Reiner will not allow such a thing to happen. The agricultural population in his current territory is inherently insufficient, and business will only develop after the agriculture has reached saturation or it can be said that there is no need to worry about food and clothing.

Otherwise, if a large number of farmers are asked to throw away their agricultural tools and go to the factory to make money when they are still hungry, troubles will arise, and famine will be inevitable.

Maybe when Reiner exchanged high-yield crops, he would allow large-scale centralized production factories to exist, but at this stage, let's make shoes and weave well at home.

A squire galloping on a draft horse galloped along the path in the field, stirring up a puff of smoke in this dry autumn.

A village gradually appeared in his eyes, most of the surrounding cultivated land was bare, and the autumn harvest work was almost over.

Stopping the horse, he turned over and jumped off the horse, habitually wiped his red nose from the cold wind, and led the horse slowly into the village in front of him.

The villagers in the village saw that he was armed with squires, so they didn't dare to approach him easily. They just nodded or took off their hats to him with respect.

"Hey! Your humble resident! Where is the mayor of your village? I have orders from my Lord Baron to convey to him!"

This squire is the son of a knight. As the son of the lowest rank of nobleman, he is very proud of his identity. He believes that his family is the status obtained by fighting on the battlefield, and he is about to become a noble and brave knight. Fighting for the master is different from this group of people who only know how to farm, eat and sleep every day.

"Yes, my lord! Our village head is in that room! He may be taking stock of this year's estimated tax with the tax official!" The resident immediately answered the subordinate's question tremblingly after being stopped.

"Very good!" The subordinate frowned slightly, and with a flick of his finger, a copper coin flew out of his hand, and said in his mouth, "Your reward!"

He was one of the retinues who guarded Reiner during the previous Battle of Babsburg,

In order to reward their bravery and loyalty, Reiner issued a bounty of three gold coins to everyone who survived, so this copper coin is really nothing to him now.

Leading the horse and following the direction pointed out by the resident, the servant walked to the door of the house, knocked a few times before waiting for anyone to reply, opened the door and walked in.

"Which adult are you...?" There are two middle-aged people in this room. They are the tax collector and the village chief, and they are both members of the Moreland family.

Although Reiner didn't trust his family's relatives very much, and was worried that they would take bribes, it was always more reassuring to let his own people manage the village for him. Most other lords and nobles in this era did this.

"I am the baron's entourage, from the Moza family. On behalf of the baron, I came here to announce the conscription order. All the militiamen who have undergone militia training and went to the battlefield will immediately go to Fort Morland to complete the assembly within three days. , all materials including food, armor and weapons do not need to be carried, this is a warrant issued by the baron!"

The subordinate took out a piece of parchment from his arms, and after opening it, the coat of arms of the Merland family appeared on the lower right side of the parchment.

After careful identification, the village head bowed and said indifferently: "Your Excellency, as a relative and subordinate of the baron, I must obey his orders unconditionally. Spread the word throughout the village, do you need to stop for a glass of water before you go?"

The village chief pointed out his identity as a member of the Moreland family directly with a gun and a stick in his words, meaning that his status did not need to be much lower than that of the other party, and told him not to be too arrogant, and then issued an order to expel the guest.

Of course, the subordinate who understood what he said did not stay, but walked out of the room after taking a look at him, and got on his horse.

With the sound of horseshoes, he left the village again in smoke and dust.

And when he left, that night, the village chief gathered everyone in the village together.

"Listen to me! You all listen to me! The Baron has issued a conscription order. All militiamen who have participated in the battle before must join the baron as a regular army! You have two days to prepare, You don't need to bring anything, don't bring anything, you must arrive at Fort Moreland within two days to assemble.

Among the crowd, Kerim touched his slightly injured wrist and couldn't help hesitating. He didn't know whether the Baron wanted it or not in his situation. Although he killed three enemies on the battlefield, he still couldn't help it. I left a wound on my body, even if it healed, it would be a month later.

"Hey! Kerim! Looks like your fortune is turning! I'm really jealous of you. If I had been a little taller, I could have become a militiaman, and now I can also become a regular army under the Baron's command!"

What he said was the truth, the salary of five coppers per month that Reiner offered made everyone flock to him.

If the annual income of a household is converted into currency, it is only about one silver coin, and the monthly salary of the regular army is the entire income of an ordinary household for half a month!
