Throne of the North

In the castle on the Rhino Horn Mountain, the lords and barons were a little cramped. Their noble eyes could see that the chairs they sat on and the floor under their feet were terribly exquisite.

Not to mention the gorgeous crystal lamps hanging high above the wide hall, and even the transparent windows seemed to be some kind of pure transparent crystal, not the glass they bought at a high price from the west coast in the south.

The five-meter-high hall, the gorgeousness reflected in every detail, made them marvel at Ryan's wealth.

"You all seem to be very interested in these things. If everything goes well, I still have a lot in my warehouse, which I can give to you."

Ryan said as he walked in from the door.

He knew that for this castle, Master Luna also made a lot of efforts, otherwise this hall would not have been completed so quickly.

For this, Ryan naturally paid magic crystals as a reward, and the Master Luna was very satisfied with it.

As time went on, in half a month, all the nobles in Lingdu County came to the frozen land, including the two viscounts.

For decades, only a few nobles from Lingdu County have gathered in Lingdu City. No one could have imagined that one day they would gather in the bitterest frozen land.

Even the seat of the frozen land baron was between the two viscounts.

...

"We are unfortunate."

In the empty hall, Ryan's voice echoed majestically and solemnly.

"The orcs invaded our homeland, plundered our wealth, killed our people, and destroyed our farmland."

"We have suffered too much this year."

"But we are also lucky."

"We have survived such a disaster tenaciously, and our will has amazed the gods."

"I also believe that we will definitely rebuild our homeland, and our territory will be more prosperous than before."

"And the premise is that there will be no more conflicts between us."

After Ryan finished speaking, he looked at all the nobles. These nobles were finally not simply divided into two parts as before, but complicated.

The reputation of the two viscounts was finally broken this year.

Ryan paused and continued:

"The emergence of the lord system is destined to cause disputes between lands. Only when the population gathers together can the spark of civilization be brought into play, and the land should also be connected together to generate more wealth."

"The North Wind Province is very large, so large that many places are wastelands, which are primitive and have never been developed. The same is true in Lingdu County."

"Our ancestors, pioneers, reclaimed the wasteland and established their own territory."

"From now on, we will follow the example of our ancestors and open up the barren land. Our glory will not be inferior to those ancestors. We will establish a more prosperous and more powerful territory."

"Our bloodline will start from us, and it will be more noble and glorious."

After Ryan finished speaking, Beard behind him just brought up a stack of birch bark paper. With Ryan's guidance, the paper was already very thin.

"I know that there are disputes over territory among you all. No one is willing to give up their land, and no one is willing to give up their land."

"But we are nobles, and everything we do has rules. All the impossibilities are because of... the price."

The paper in Ryan's hand appeared in the hands of every noble, and the map in each noble's hand was different.

There was a rough map outline of Lingdu County, and their own territories.

"Before today, I discussed with the two viscounts and the barons that the boundaries divided in these maps will become your new territories, and next to them is the price of the previous territories being traded."

"There will be nobles who buy your territories, but only territories, without touching any minerals or farming. Until you have fields on the new land, you will choose whether to buy and sell distant land."

"The fifth-class nobles to whom the lord depends will also reasonably help the lord. The lord is also a noble, not a subject. They will have their own manors and their own land."

As expected, when Ryan finished speaking, many lords stood up dissatisfied with his division.

"Baron Ryan, my knight territory here will not belong to me. I will take my people and all my wealth to Baron Kendra's territory, build my own manor in the existing territory or on the edge of the territory, and cultivate good farmland."

"And my knight territory, Baron Evra is only willing to pay 15,000 gold coins? Ten thousand of them belong to Baron Kendra?"

Ryan looked at the other party and said calmly:

"Lord Ton, this deal is more than that. Baron Evra will use his serfs and civilians to help you cultivate your farmland, and let his slaves help you open 70% of the annual grain crops from mining iron ore will belong to you completely until you two negotiate or trade again ten years later. "

"You saved more than just a few gold coins."

"As for the 15,000 gold coins, 10,000 belong to Baron Kendra. You should know, Lord Toen, you are now the lord of Baron Kendra's family territory. The baron is the object of your dependence, and even your land belongs to Baron Kendra. "

"You can be dissatisfied, but this is the lord system of the empire. Perhaps you can go to the imperial capital and express your dissatisfaction to the Senate."

"If you need more, you can also ask the two barons for their opinions. They may give you more help."

After Ryan finished speaking, Ton sat down with his fists clenched tightly. Obviously, he was very unwilling to have his territory traded in such a simple way.

Soon, another lord stood up again.

"Why is Lord Ton's deal 70%, but I can only get 60% of the farmland and iron ore I own?"

"Forty percent belongs to Baron Barnes?"

Ryan looked at the other party. This was a guy without sincerity.

"Lord Pound, your knight territory has a population of only one thousand, and the amount of arable land can't even support these one thousand people, and your iron ore has been almost mined out."

"Baron Barnes will need to send more people, and the cost will be higher, so the division will naturally change."

"If everyone is divided the same, does it mean that the land that can be cultivated by only one family is the same as the land that can be cultivated by two families? Can the food consumed by two families be the same as that of one family?"

"Since your territory is like this, perhaps you can open up more fertile land in the new land."

"In addition, I don't want this land planning to require war to be resolved."

Ryan's last words frightened all the nobles.
