Chapter 79 The main reason for the decline of the Jeanna family
Hardy changed from a baron to a viscount, and his status level was +1.
The 40 gold coins that Jeanna's family had always given her as employment money were gone, and instead, there was a large fiefdom.
Very big.
The territory that Virginia had previously entrusted was just a forest, and more of a fiefdom in a symbolic sense, telling others that this family was a serious noble.
The territory given by the Jeanna family is a large area.
It contains a medium-sized city, Hukaro.
Three towns, and five villages.
The total population of this territory has reached more than 200,000, and it has good potential in both commercial and military value.
Normally, this is not an area of fief that a viscount can obtain, at least a marquis.
But it also proved from the side how much the Jeanne family valued him.
As for the title...because the Jeanne family is a duke, naturally they cannot be canonized as a vassal higher than a viscount.
Only the king has the authority to carry out the canonization of viscount and above.
Hardy was sleeping in his tent, looking at the appointment letter in his hand, feeling quite amused.
His main purpose in coming to the royal city was to eliminate potential threats to his life, but he never expected that he would become a viscount by accident.
How difficult is it to get a title?
The vast majority of knights, who have been loyal to the same lord for five or six generations, may not be promoted from knight to baron.
After all, a carrot is a pit.
There is only so much area in the territory. If there is no land for you to be entrusted to, you will have to wait.
But the title is hereditary. As long as others have children and descendants, they are not afraid of losing the inheritance.
Even if you only have a daughter, you can still bring in a son-in-law.
Therefore, it is very common for knight families to wait for two to three hundred years.
As for why Hardy was able to obtain such a large piece of territory from the Jeanna family, the reason is simple. That territory previously belonged to Madam Sissi.
After she got married, she stayed there idle.
Although she has returned to the Jeanne family now, as the heir to the Jeanne family, she no longer needs that territory, so she can naturally give it to her vassals.
Who can take over such an important piece of territory now?
Naturally, it is the ‘savior’ of the Jeanne family, Hardy.
If the promotion of knight to baron is one hurdle, then if the baron wants to rise again, it is several hurdles.
Because the higher the status, the number of senior titles decreases exponentially.
With the identity of a viscount, a city as a base, and the background of Jeanne's family, Hardy is confident that after players enter the game in large numbers, he can use the players' characteristics to influence France's political situation.
Hardy fell into a deep sleep.
When he went to sleep the next day, he found that the soldiers in the military camp were all in high spirits and looked at him with even more reverence.
Rogge appeared at this time. He looked at Hadi excitedly and asked, "Master, can we live in Hukaro City in the future?"
Hardy looked at the excited Rogge, and then at the expectant eyes of the other soldiers around him. He nodded and said, "Of course, your household registration can be transferred to Hukaro City in the future."
There was cheering in the military camp.
Laughter came and went.
Hardy didn't bother to care about these overly excited soldiers. It was necessary to give them proper relaxation.
He went directly to the castle. Now as a vassal of the Jeanne family, he had to 'report' every day.
Everyone in the castle was eating breakfast. When Enolin saw him coming in, she immediately asked the maid to bring another one and said with a smile: "I thought you would get up later."
After all, he was suddenly made a viscount and gained such a large territory. Everyone, young and old, must have been so excited yesterday that they probably couldn't sleep until very late.
But I didn't expect that Hardy's character would be so tenacious and he looked like he was okay.
But the more this happened, the more Ainolin thought her decision was right.
A young man who can remain rational and self-disciplined in the face of huge interests will have limitless achievements in the future.
"The discussion about the alliance will probably be completed tomorrow." Ainolin said with a smile: "So today, you can take a rest."
Hardy looked around and asked, "Where is Sir Dora?"
"He went to inform Victor outside the city." Enolin said with a smile: "Victor will join you tomorrow to join the royal team."
Hardy's eyes suddenly opened, and he asked urgently: "Why is Mr. Victor coming back?"
"This is the king's request. He said that you have a foreign surname after all. There must be someone from the Jeanne family to take charge of our staff, otherwise it will be difficult..." Enolin saw Hardy's face becoming more and more serious, and felt in her heart Suddenly he tensed up and vaguely understood something: "Wait, is there something wrong?"
Hardy pressed his temples with a headache. This is the bad thing about women. Sometimes they are too emotional and naive.
But he also knew that it was wrong to have too high demands on women. After all, it would be great to have one empress like Wu Zhao every ten thousand years.
"I hope I'm overthinking it." Hardy explained: "I'm just afraid that the old king and the Lion Faction are mixed together to deal with us."
Enolin murmured: "It's unlikely."
Hardy finally understood why Enolin was usually very strong, so it stands to reason that the Jeanna family should not be weak. But just a few years later, she "defeated" the Jeanna family to the point where they were about to be removed from the royal bloodline.
It is extremely undesirable to place our hopes on the enemy's 'foolishness'.
"Your Excellency Victor's infantry regiment stationed near the forest farm should not have been withdrawn." Hardy asked.
Facing Hardy's questioning look, Enolin smiled awkwardly: "Last night, Dora said that they should withdraw and let them meet up with the Blade Knights. It's also time for the infantry to take a rest."
Hardy couldn't eat anymore, so he gently put the tableware back on the table.
"They can't be withdrawn. If you want them to rest, you can send other legions on top, or even send my troops out. That's a strategic location. If we occupy it, even if there are only 200 people, it will still be a threat to the enemy. ." Hardy felt his head hurt more and more: "The royal family is also quite insidious. The old king should be playing the emotional card with you."
"How did you..." Ainoline was surprised and then fell silent.
She understood that the more accurately Hardy guessed, the 'stupid' she was.
The air seemed quiet.
Madam Sissi looked at the silent Enolin, turned to Hardy and asked: "What should we do?"
She pushed the plate of breakfast forward.
Now there is no leisurely time to eat.
"I will take the army out of the city immediately." Hadi thought for a while and said: "You sit at home and hope that things don't develop as I imagined."
Hardy immediately got up and left the castle.
Soon... Hadi's army left the manor and headed straight outside the military city.
Enolin stood on the high platform and looked at the retreating army. She held Madam Sissi's hand and said, "I am old, and I will leave this family to you to manage from now on."
"Mother, how can you say such things? Jeanna's family has been supported by you all the way."
Enolin shook her head, her old face full of fatigue: "I'm so tired that I don't even know how to handle things correctly. It's time to hand over the power to you young people."
