Black Iron Crown

Sir Corder looked at Reiner, he knew that after what happened last time, he was very dissatisfied with the current knights.

Although he didn't directly express his dissatisfaction with the knights, there was a hint of this in his words. If Leiner wanted to form a regular army, the implication was that the knights who had entrusted fiefdoms were no longer needed.

Sir Corder nodded in a daze. As a traditional nobleman, he couldn't imagine what a territory without knights would be like.

Seeing Sir Cod's ecstasy, Reiner said: Don't worry, I will not take back the fiefdoms of the knights, nor will I expel them. Although my tax reduction is opposed by them, I will I will not do such a thing because of this, the strength of the knights is also what I need, and their bravery can bring me victory!

Under my leadership, the Morland family in the north will reach the peak and gain supreme glory. These knights will share this glory with me. They are like the wings of an eagle and the claws of a lion. They are my Indispensable partner.

Reiner looked straight into Sir Cod's eyes and said, But whether it's an eagle or a lion, their wings and minions need to be tempered! No matter where the Merland family's descendants are, they are the most valiant lions. , I will remove all obstacles, and all stumbling blocks on my road to greatness are my enemies! They will become my minions to help me tear apart the enemy!

The territory must be completely in my hands. I don't hesitate to reward those who have meritorious service. I can give them territory and titles, but they can't rebel against me because of this. They must obey my orders. Minions must obey the heroes. The command of the lion! Reiner said solemnly.

My uncle, do you understand my thoughts? Sir Corder was silent for a long time, and then said: Okay, I understand, I will try my best to convey your meaning to the knights!

The conversation between the two had no effect on the soldiers who were training below. They were still doing thrust training, and they would not end their day's training with a five-kilometer run until six o'clock this evening.

Sir Ryland's eyes were fixed on the soldiers who were training, and he didn't care about the conversation between the two of them at all.

This really has nothing to do with him. Sir Leland, as the infantry commander under Reiner's command, doesn't care whether he can get the territory or whether other knights continue to exist. He only needs to do his job well.

Time flies. After Leiner expanded his territory, his life was no longer as leisurely as before. Occasionally, there were some things that the local village head and tax collector couldn't handle, so they could only be sent to Leiner to hope. He was able to give a solution.

This made Reiner have to lock himself in the study for a period of time every day to deal with these things. Basically, all the village chiefs were illiterate, so they could only let the tax collectors ride their old draft horses to Fort Moreland Seek Lehner's opinion.

Time flies, and his life is full and leisurely. After two spring huntings, Leiner ended this activity. Spring hunting is not suitable for him, compared to this kind of intense exercise , he prefers to stay at home and do nothing, but there is something that makes him have to stay at home.

Lord Baron, our iron mine collapsed after the slaves dug for a while, but we seem to have found a larger iron mine. The mine we mined before is just a branch of this iron mine. Maybe we have More steel production!

Sir Codd came to Reiner's room. It was already May 25th, the 22nd year of the Empire. The Klader captives had been working hard in the iron mine for more than five months. The reason why the iron ore output of Fort Moreland has increased sharply to 1,000 kilograms per day recently.

Now there is a huge amount of iron material stored in Leiner's warehouse, which is as much as 20 tons. If it is sold to the hinterland of the empire, it will definitely be a huge fortune.

But relatively speaking, Leiner still chooses to process iron materials into equipment and then transport them to the hinterland of the empire for sale, so that he can obtain more wealth.

Leiner hurriedly put on his clothes, took two followers and rode on the horse to the direction of the iron mine.

Twenty minutes later, Reiner appeared in the mine.

I saw a group of small Klades trying their best to move stones and soil, which flowed down after the mine collapsed, and many Klades were mining when the cave collapsed, and they happened to be buried in it.

The mine was guarded by ten armed soldiers to prevent these Klads from escaping. The captain of the armed soldiers came up and said to Leiner: You are finally here, my lord baron!

A landslide happened here? Reiner asked knowingly.

Yes Lord Baron, at about eight o'clock this morning, we called the damned Klade prisoners to mine, but it didn't take long before the entire mine collapsed, and there are now a total of 17 Klade prisoners Buried in the ground, maybe they are already dead!

After finishing speaking, the team leader looked a little excited and said to Leiner: However, when we checked the situation of the mine after the collapse, we unexpectedly found that more iron ore appeared in the mine. Think that the mine we dug before is just a branch of this vein!

Lena nodded and said: Very good, you can go and receive a silver coin as a reward, organize the slaves to clean up the mine as soon as possible, and mine the iron ore again. I like this iron ore that can bring us excellent weapons!

The training is still going on in an orderly manner. The trained militiamen are sweating profusely under the spring sun, while Leiner's armed soldiers are also working overtime for training, hoping to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible.

Under normal circumstances, it takes two to three years for a recruit who has just joined the army to develop effective combat effectiveness and become a qualified soldier. However, in the current situation where Leiner has soldiers undergo intensive training every day , he estimated that it would take seven or eight months to train them into qualified soldiers.

The warm sunlight brought infinite vitality to the ground, and several lifeless castles under Leiner's command finally revived at this moment. Those who did not participate in the militia training took advantage of this time to start under Leiner's order Cultivate arable land.

When looking at the strength of a territory, military strength is not the only consideration, and food production is a very important point.

The increase in yield per mu is not enough to satisfy Leiner's appetite. He also needs to increase the arable land by a large amount to increase the food production of the territory.

With a huge amount of grain, Reiner has nothing to worry about. It is estimated that the grain output of Fort Moreland this year alone will more than double that of last year. This is because there is still a lot of wasteland in the territory to be reclaimed. out of the situation.

If the entire wasteland of Fort Moreland is fully utilized, then the grain production can at least triple from the current level.
