Black Iron Crown

Reiner didn't know that he was already on the must-kill list in the heart of the little emperor, but he would have laughed if he knew.

In his opinion, whether the little emperor can survive two years is a question, and such a must-kill list can only be ridiculous.

Reiner had also heard about the little emperor's talents, and Logan's booth in the imperial capital sent all the more important news, especially the news about the little emperor, back to the northern border.

But now Reiner doesn't know what happened in the imperial capital, the flying pigeons are naturally unusable under the heavy snow, and the horses traveling to the northern border will also be seriously slowed down due to the snow.

Now Reiner has not received any news from the imperial capital for three months.

It is now January of the thirty-second year of the empire, that is, January of the fifth year in the northern border. The climate has completely entered the midwinter, and the heavy snow that has lasted for more than three months has finally stopped.

At this time, the wilderness in the northern border is already covered with snow, the snow-white world, the dead trees without a leaf are covered with a layer of frost, like statues carved from ice and snow, it looks crystal clear and beautiful.

Even in the cold northern region, it was the first time that such a severe winter scene appeared, but even so, no one was willing to come out of their warm houses to report such a scene.

The snow on the ground has spread to 1.23 meters. Although the snow below is compacted under the weight of the snow itself, such a thick snow layer still brings great trouble to the residents of the northern border.

These residents were worried after Reiner issued an order to prevent the houses from being crushed by snow, and they even built ladders one by one under the organization of the village officials.

They set up these ladders on the eaves to check the snow on the roof at any time. Even at night, they often put on cotton clothes and come out of the room, climb up the ladder to check whether the snow on the roof has reached the point where it cannot be controlled .

Being crushed to death by the living house in sleep, no resident wants to do this.

Especially the serfs who came from the empire to the northern border were the most diligent in checking. They had just come into contact with a good life, and they didn't want to lose their lives at this time.

These days, the residents in the northern border are a bit desperate, but even so, there are still occasional cases of houses being collapsed by the snow to the ears of Leiner, and Leiner has nothing to do while regretting it.

In a high-end entertainment place, Ai Zexi's figure looks so abrupt, and beside him is a big businessman in decent clothes, this businessman is bowing and respecting beside Ai Zexi flattering.

"It's snowing too much, and the business routes have been blocked a lot. His Majesty is also on fire. Don't even think about buying sugar. If you get caught for tax evasion, you're just trying to fill in the grass." , you should think clearly!"

Ai Zexi cast a glance at the businessman beside him, pointed upwards, and said in a low voice: "Looking at the friendship between the two of us, let me remind you, we are all pointing at His Majesty the living! Can you Don't be confused, if Madam didn't stop me these days, His Majesty would have killed three servants!"

These three months were extremely torturous for him, Reiner felt uncomfortable, and naturally the entire city of Mecaron would not be happy, and the air pressure in Caron all over the United States was very low for a while.

And this businessman, relying on his own money, found a way to hook up with Ai Zexi, the chief commercial minister of the northern border, hoping to get some other policies from him, such as being sloppy in terms of business tax.

Unexpectedly, Ai Zexi, who has always been known for being greedy for money, would reject this matter outright, which caught him by surprise.

Although Ai Zexi is greedy for money, he is a smart person. He knows that His Majesty the Grand Duke is in a bad mood during this period, and there are at least four or five orders to kill the servants. Four or five lives were lost!

There is no other reason for Leiner's displeasure. The casualties caused by the collapse of residents' houses are secondary. The most important thing is that Leiner felt that his rule was threatened. Because of the heavy snow, his government orders could not be repeated Within a month, it spread to every corner of the northern border.

Reiner now understands the desire for control of the ancient emperors. As the supreme ruler of this land, he is unwilling to be deprived of the foundation of his rule by a heavy snowfall.

This is what he cares most about. If the heavy snow keeps on going, how many people will become kings?

Of course, this is just an impossible assumption. As a ruler, what he has to do is to keep his decrees as smooth as possible.

Therefore, as soon as Reiner issued an order, a total of 10,000 residents began to prepare their own tools and began to clean the snow-covered stone road.

However, this year's winter is really too cold, even the northern residents with 30% ice and snow resistance can't bear it. Reiner roughly estimated that this year's northern region will reach minus 40 to 50 degrees.

In a full three days, the road cleared by 10,000 residents was only 20 kilometers long, and hundreds of people were actually frostbitten.

When Earl Corder hurriedly arrived at Leiner's study and asked him to stop this action, he only reacted.

Reiner squeezed his eyes in trouble, sighed and said: "Then stop, I am too eager, and I am really disturbed to be cut off from all places!"

Reiner also admitted that his emotions were not normal, and the decision he made was against common sense, so he quickly stopped the order.

Earl Corder has now completely changed his views on ordinary civilians. At the beginning, he was similar to most lords. He believed that too many civilians would be a disaster, and it was enough to keep only those who could help him cultivate the land.

But now, through dealing with various government affairs in the northern border, Earl Corder's vision has improved a lot. He no longer thinks that too many residents are a burden, but regards them as the most precious wealth.

Earl Cod looked at Reiner who was still frowning, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Why don't we carry out another raid on the Klade people, all the Klade slaves in the territory basically work in the mines, plus We didn't clear the boreal forest last year, now it's time to grab some carats and come back and clear the snow from the roads!"

Upon hearing this, Reiner nodded, this is indeed a good idea.

He smiled and said: "That's the decision. The recruits have been training for more than four months, let them really see the blood. This time, only one veteran team will be sent to the raid!"

Earl Corder nodded and started to prepare, but just as he was about to leave Reiner's study, Reiner stopped him.

"By the way, uncle, let Lumbare and Wende join in this raid, and let them lead the army in person. The descendants of Moreland must not have idiots!" Reiner said looking into Earl Cod's eyes, he believed The other party can understand their intentions.

Sure enough, Earl Corder smiled like a chrysanthemum after hearing Reiner's words.
