The Defeated Dragon

The meeting at Juniper Castle lasted for two full days.

In the past two days, the knights of the various territories have left one after another. The knights of Coral Island also left Juniper Castle on July 12th, due to the order of the earl.

Levis, you lead the knights back to Niujiao City first, and join the family's fleet. When my meeting is over, you will go directly to Niujiao City.

Yes, my lord.

When the count left the Knights and went back to Juniper Castle, Liszt chased him out and asked a question: Father, I searched for a few craftsmen in the cities along the way and took them away. It shouldn't be a big problem, right?

The Grand Duke's Knights have already taken over the major cities, so don't do this... Now we are discussing military exploits, it is best to abide by the rules, because of some trivial things, destroying the glory that should belong to you is not worth the loss. The earl said, You The title of Viscount, this battle can be determined, which is the most important thing.

Theoretically, Li William is a feudal earl and can entrust anyone as a viscount.

But in fact, he only has the right to divide his own territory, and the right to suggest and trade new territories is according to the official definition. No interference at all, even ten viscounts, as long as there is land that can be cut, it's fine.

But Coral Island is only this big, and a lot of land has been cut out to accommodate the two Viscounts. Cutting out a city will shake the finances of Tulip Castle.

At this time, it is necessary to trade new territories from the Grand Duchy for enfeoffment of followers.

The reward required for the transaction is military exploits.

The court has the right to inspect and review the entrusted knights. If the entrusted knight does not meet the conditions for enfeoffment recognized by the court, the court has the right to refuse to trade the new territory. And in the form of material rewards or accumulated military exploits, the followers' military exploits are stored.

Wait for the right method, and then honor the military exploits.

William Li hadn't increased the size of the fief for many years, and he used material rewards to honor his military exploits, because the transaction requirements of the new territory were very high.

Unless he can accumulate the military exploits to be promoted to Marquis and obtain a larger island as a fiefdom, it will not only be worthwhile, but also meaningless to use the military exploits to exchange for a new island.

Is my military exploits enough?

Enough is enough, the eldest prince is very satisfied with the performance of the Changyu family and the Tulip family,

Many good things were said and you were mentioned. If you want, you can even become a follower of the great prince, but I know, you are developing a new island? Lee William revealed.

Sure enough, he already knew about Liszt's development of Heima Island.

Liszt nodded without denying it: I want Heima Island as a fiefdom. The area of ​​the island is about 2,000 square kilometers, which is about the size of a small city.

Heima Island, it will be realized soon.

By the way, Father, can I keep Huahua Town for a long time? It's just a small town. I can pay the family more and treat it as a long-term lease.

Li Weilian thought for a while: Okay, we can talk about this later, I have to continue the meeting.

Wait for the count to leave.

Liszt is still thinking about his entrustment.

He has studied the enfeoffment system of knights. In this world dominated by knights, the enfeoffment systems of various countries are essentially similar. In academic terms, they are all inherited from the enfeoffment system of the Moon Empire. The lords have independence for their territories. ownership.

But there are many differences in form.

The enfeoffment system of the Grand Duchy of Sapphire and the suzerain Kingdom of Iron Ridge are different. The Kingdom of Steel Ridge is a feudal form of superimposed fiefdoms, while the Grand Duchy of Sapphire is a feudal form of island replacement.

...

Fief overlay.

It means that territories can be obtained continuously and stacked together.

For example, a knight, after he became a knight of the Lord, obtained the fiefdom of a certain small village, then made military exploits, was promoted to a baron, and obtained the fiefdom of a certain small town. Then his title is Baron of a certain town plus Knight of a certain village, and he has two independent territories.

In this way, his eldest son can inherit the baron of a certain town, and his second son may inherit the knight of a certain village.

Of course, most of it is the sad reminder that the eldest son gets all the titles, and the second son goes to war, writes novels, plays the piano, and licks the second son of noble ladies. This is probably the reason why noble monogamy can be implemented. Too many wives means that the second son will be more If there are too many, the imbalance of enfeoffment will intensify the contradiction, which will lead to the collapse of the knight system.

...

Island replacement.

It is a special feudal system of the Grand Duchy of Sapphire, which means that nobles can only own one island or one city, and the territories do not overlap.

For example, a knight, after he became a knight of the Lord, obtained the fiefdom of a certain small village, then made military exploits, was promoted to a baron, and obtained the fiefdom of a certain small town. Then he can only choose a small town as his fief, give up the original fief of a small village, and keep the highest title Baron of a certain town.

But there is a thoughtful strategy to ensure that the interests of the territory will not be damaged. The original territory can be retained for a harvest period of three to five years, which is used to transfer wealth such as elves and population on the territory.

When the Tulip family was still surnamed tile, Liszt's grandfather, Greg tile, was the Viscount of Tahiti City on an island near Blue Dragon Island.

After Li William inherited the title of Viscount, he made meritorious service and became Earl. He chose Coral Island and reserved the harvesting period of Tahiti City for three years by paying taxes.

After the transfer of the family property, three years later, the city of Tahiti was taken back by the court.

The reason why this system is adopted is directly related to the fact that the Grand Duchy of Sapphire belongs to the archipelagic country. There are many islands, little land, and difficult navigation and transportation. If nobles want to communicate with the two fiefdoms in the south and the sea, they will spend a lot of property on navigation, so they simply focus on one island.

Thus, the island replacement system was born.

But the system is dead, but people are alive.

Liszt wants to lease Flower Town for a long time, as long as he pays, I believe William Li and Levi's have no reason to disagree, after all, they are a family.

Flower Town is the start of my career. Most of the rewards for the smog mission also come from Flower Town. Maybe it has special meaning. I can't bear to give it up.

Huahua Town is his Longxing place.

Although this world doesn't pay much attention to the land of Longxing, Liszt is more or less influenced by Feng Shui, and has a little liking for the place of Longxing. Even if you don't talk about the land of Longxing, Huahua Town has most of the results of his hard work, and it is difficult to give up immediately.

On top of that, the town has been visited by invisible dragons.

This is one of the clues of the dragon. Perhaps one day, the invisible dragon will come to the town again, and then Liszt will be able to get in touch with it, and strive to ride it one day and become a dragon knight.

Isn't it wonderful!

...

Landed in Niujiao City on June 11, and returned to Niujiao City on July 14. The month-long Battle of Ironshoe Island finally came to an end.

Liszt can relax on the bed and enjoy the tranquility after the war.

When the earl arrives, he can set off for home. 8)
