The meeting in Fort Juniper lasted for two days.

In the past two days, the knights of various territories have left one after another, and the knights of Coral Island also left Juniper Fort on July 12, from the Earl's order.

"Levi, you lead the Knights back to Oxhorn City first, join the family's fleet, and when my meeting is over, we will go directly to Hornhorn City. ”

"Yes, Father. ”

When the Count left the Order and went back to Fort Juniper, Liszt chased after him and asked a question: "Father, I searched for a few craftsmen in the cities along the way, it shouldn't be a big problem, right?"

"The Grand Duke's Knights have taken over the major cities, so don't do that...... Now that the battle merits are being discussed, it is better to follow the rules, because some small things will destroy the glory that should belong to you, and the gain will not outweigh the loss. The Count said, "Your viscount title can be determined in this battle, and this is the most important thing." ”

Theoretically, William Lee was a fiefdom count, and could divide anyone as a viscount.

But in reality, he only has the right to divide his own territory, and the right to propose and trade new domain titles - according to the official definition, that is, if he divides a piece of land from Coral Island and gives his followers a knighthood, the court will not interfere in the slightest, even if it is divided into ten viscounts, as long as there is land that can be cut.

But Coral Island is so big, and accommodating two viscounts has already carved out a lot of land, and cutting another city out will shake the finances of Tulip Castle.

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

The reward required for trading is combat merit.

The court has the right to inspect and review the knight of the sub-feud, and if the knight does not meet the conditions of the sub-fief determined by the court, then the court has the right to refuse to trade new territories. And in the form of material rewards, or the accumulation of combat exploits, the combat exploits of followers are stored.

Wait for the right way, and then cash in on the achievements.

William Li has not increased the area of his fief for many years, and he has always cashed in the form of material rewards for his military exploits, because the transaction of new territories is very demanding.

Unless he can hoard the merits of the promotion of the marquis and obtain a larger island as a fief, then exchanging the exploits for new islands is not only unworthy, but also meaningless.

"Is my exploits enough?"

"Enough, the eldest prince is very satisfied with the performance of the Long Taro family and the Tulip family, said a lot of good things, and mentioned you. You can even become a follower of the Great Prince if you want, but I know you're developing a new island?" William Lee revealed.

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

Li Si nodded and did not deny it: "I want Dark Horse Island as a fief, the island area is about two thousand square kilometers, which is about the same size as the jurisdiction of a small city. ”

"Dark Horse Island, it will happen soon. ”

"By the way, Father, can I keep Flower Town for a long time, it's just a small town, I can pay the family some more as a long-term lease. ”

William Li thought for a moment: "Okay, I'll talk about this later, I have to go and continue the meeting." ”

Wait for the Count to leave.

Liszt was still thinking about his separation.

He has studied the knightly feudal system, and in this knight-dominated world, the feudal system of each country is essentially similar, in academic parlance - inherited from the Moon Empire's feudal system, and the lord has independent ownership of the territory.

But there are many differences in form.

There is a difference between the feudal system of the Grand Duchy of Sapphire and the suzerain, the Kingdom of Steel Ridge - the Kingdom of Steel Ridge is a feudal form of superimposed fiefs, and the Grand Duchy of Sapphire is a feudal form of island replacement.

......

Fiefdom stacks.

Refers to the fact that provinces can be obtained over and over again, and stacked on top of each other.

For example, a knight who became a knight of lords and obtained a fief of a small village, and then made a military exploit, promoted to a baron, and obtained a fief of a 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 the second son may inherit the knight of the lord of a certain village.

Of course, most of them are the eldest son who gets all the titles, and the second son goes to war, writes, plays the piano, and licks the aristocratic ladies - the sad urging of the second son is probably the reason why aristocratic monogamy can be practiced, too many wives means that there will be more second sons, and the imbalance of the feudal division will intensify the contradictions, which will lead to the collapse of the chivalric 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 stack.

For example, a knight who became a knight of lords and obtained a fief of a small village, and then made a military exploit, promoted to a baron, and obtained a fief of a small town. Then he could only choose the small town as a fief, give up the original small village fief, and retain 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 kept for three to five years of harvest, which can be used to transfer the wealth of the elves, population, etc. in the territory.

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

After William Lee inherited the title of viscount, he became an earl, chose Coral Island, and kept Tahiti City for three years for the harvest by paying taxes.

After three years, Tahiti was repossessed by the imperial court.

The reason for the adoption of this system is directly related to the fact that the Grand Duchy of Sapphire is an archipelago country. There are many islands, few land, and difficult navigation and transportation, and the nobles want to communicate the two fiefdoms of Tiannan and Haibei, and they will spend a lot of money in navigation, so they simply focus on one island.

As a result, the island replacement system was born.

But the system is dead, and people are alive.

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

"Flower Town is the beginning of my career, and most of the rewards for the Smoke Mission also come from Flower Town, which may have a special meaning, and I am reluctant to give it up. ”

Flower Town is the place where he prospered.

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

On top of that, the invisible dragon has patronized the town.

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

Isn't that wonderful!

......

On June 11, he landed on Oxhorn City on Iron Hoof Island, and returned to Niujiao City on July 14, and the battle of Iron Hoof Island for a whole month finally ended.

Liszt could relax in bed and enjoy the peace after the war.

When the Earl arrives, he will be able to leave for his home.
