Chapter 65: Promotion to Baron

This incident gave the aborigines of the other world the feeling that Wang Xiaode made Zhang Hua disappear completely in anger, which means that Wang Xiaode killed the other party for a concubine of the other party. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Canteru, have you heard? The lord killed his own family's Lord Zhang Hua. A tall, thin native of another world said to another native.

"What? Garin! How could a lord kill someone from his own family? Hasn't the lord always used them heavily? I haven't heard that Lord Zhang Hua has committed any major crimes! Cantroul said in surprise.

"Don't you know, Lord Zhang Hua killed his concubine some time ago, and Lady Catherine just left not long ago, can the lord not be angry when he hears about this!" Garin returned, as if he knew things well.

"Also, if you want to say that this lord really didn't say anything to Lady Catherine, this Lord Zhang Hua is on the knife edge." Cantroul sighed, as if he remembered the scene between the lord and the lady of Catherine.

"Don't beat your wife casually in the future, if people know, they will be unlucky." Garin said again.

"Yes, yes, yes," Cantroul chimed in.

What happened outside, Wang Xiaode didn't bother to pay attention to it. Wang Xiaode had already called all the stewards of the territory again. Listen to your subordinates' recent briefings on the territory.

Since the assassination of Viscount Terry, Terrance has gradually secured the viscount throne with the support of several barons such as Baron Donaldson Sr. Recovered the direct territory of the Viscount family.

But no baron has died yet, because the previous wars for titles were fought in the name of the various clans of the Trilu family, and no one had ever opened the window paper, and no one had attacked any of the barons' cities.

But it is conceivable that some barons may have a hard time in the future.

And Baron Donaldson also won a baronial title for Wang Xiaode, but only a title, no territory, and no other supplements. On the contrary, Barony Ronal will have to take on the task of sending troops to fight for the superior lords in the future.

In addition to the viscount level, Baron Donaldson also sent a large amount of supplies to the earldom on behalf of Wang Xiaode. That's enough to pay a year's worth of taxes for a viscount. However, these will require Wang Xiaode to pay Baron Donaldson double when he returns.

Because once you become a full-fledged nobleman, the privileges that were previously given to the merchandise knights will be withdrawn. The barony not only had to bear a certain amount of taxes, but also had to take on the task of sending troops to fight for the viscounty.

However, this is not a problem for Barony Ronal. First of all, the annual tax of 1,000 gold coins on the Viscount is a drop in the bucket in the Barony of Ronal. Now Barony Ronal earns more than 100,000 gold coins a year.

Paying this tax is not a problem at all. Even the tax paid by the viscount to the earldom is only 10,000 gold coins per year.

And to fight for the viscount, the lord usually does not require the lord to go into battle in person, at most he mobilizes half of his troops. Of course, special war compulsory requisition does not count.

Now the true number of warlords under Wang Xiaode has long exceeded that of ordinary viscounts, and it is not a big deal to send half of the baron's troops.

The only problem was that Barony Ronal's territory was too small. If you want to expand the territory area, you can only expand your territory.

Either participate in foreign wars, plunder territory, or go to the west to open up wastelands. And the scope of the barony's development is also limited.

There are also a small number of villages and towns directly under the viscounts between the two baronies, which are equivalent to knights' domains. This is to prevent too much collusion or war between baronies. Good for control.

Wang Xiaode has an innate advantage, that is, Barony Ronald is located in the westernmost part of the entire Anthony Kingdom, and as long as the policy allows, he can open up new territories to the west infinitely.

And don't worry about the viscount stuffing nails, because the cost of stuffing nails in the wasteland on the outskirts of Barony Ronal's is too great.

In addition, Viscount Terrance was jointly promoted by Wang Xiaode and Baron Donaldson, so he naturally took care of it. It's just that I don't want to, and the strength is not enough.

With Wang Xiaode's order, the entire barony once again entered the vigorous construction.

With the ascension of Wang Xiaode's title, Wang Xiaode can openly build cities, castles, and form cavalry teams to train soldiers.

In addition, once the construction of the castle is completed, the temple of the god of reclamation in the county will send a priest apprentice to the barony to preside over the church. As for the mage, although it is standard, it needs to be recruited by itself, and even if there is none, no one will say anything, but it will make people look down on it and even have bad thoughts.

However, Wang Xiaode still needs to go to the viscount to accept the viscount's personal canonization, otherwise it won't count. Only the canonization of the viscount and the approval of the county are the official barons of the Antonine Kingdom.

Now there are six viscounts under Viscount Trilu, plus Wang Xiaode is seven, when the viscount war, one chose to wait and see, and the two supported the eldest son of the original Viscount Trilu. And the three families of Baron Donaldson supported the eldest son.

Now that Terrance is a viscount, with Wang Xiaode, he has an overwhelming advantage in the number of barons. Of course, if the other three are partners, with the strength of Wang Xiaode just a showy baron, it is difficult to say who is strong and who is weak on both sides.

Moreover, after Terrance became a viscount, he also successfully gathered some of the power left by the Trilu family. Therefore, although Viscount Terrance is afraid of Donaldson's group, he can also have some say.

In fact, Baron Donaldson was able to entangle the three barons, and he also had the power conveyed by Baron Dauphin. The other two also supported Baron Donaldson because of this.

Otherwise, the Baron Donaldsons would have nothing to do with the other two. is afraid that Baron Dauphin will wait for an opportunity to retaliate in the future. And Baron Dauphin was on another viscounty.

When Wang Xiaode came to the Viscount Territory, the streets had been basically cleaned up, only the dilapidated houses and potholed streets, it could still be seen that there had been a big battle here.

The Viscount Castle, on the other hand, no longer saw any smoky smell. Wang Xiaode knew that this was the power of the mage, using spells. Go and fix the castle, at least on the surface, there is no problem.

"Is it Baron Ronal?" In the distance, Wang Xiaode heard a person shouting at the gate of the Viscount Castle not far from the opposite side of the carriage.

When the carriage approached, Wang Xiaode saw a man in his early 30s waiting for him in a gorgeous suit.

"Hello, I'm Ronal, may I ask who you are?" Wang Xiaode got out of the car and asked the other party about the etiquette between nobles.

"Hehe, I'm Terrance, I know you're coming, I'm waiting for you early in the morning, please come inside," Viscount Terrance invited with a smile on his face. It's as kind as seeing your own brother-in-law.

"Oh! Viscount Terrance, how can I bother you to wait for me here, this really scares me. Wang Xiaode saluted Viscount Terrance again.
