It took four days to sail from Ironhoof Island to Coral Island, which was enough time for the knights of Coral Island to finish their battle.

Liszt was also distributing his knights' exploits.

According to the principle of more work and more reward, he was the one with the greatest meritorious service in this battle, and even the count thought that Liszt's credit was about to catch up with him - there was no accident, the count was the one who made the greatest contribution every time Coral Island participated in the battle, not only because of his strength, but also because of his lordship.

"The Grand Duke presided over the battle merit meeting, in principle, to focus on the distribution of materials, and to minimize the division of titles. Because the eldest prince spoke for you, you were able to obtain a viscount and become the only nobleman to be promoted to viscount in this campaign. ”

Liszt was a little surprised: "Am I the only one?"

It feels a little too high-profile, but it's the pleasure of being a coquettish.

"The Sky Knights have surpassed you in many of their exploits, but they are either already marquises, counts, or viscounts...... With the merits of this battle, it is absolutely impossible to be promoted from viscount to earl...... Among the baronies, you have the greatest military achievements, and it is only natural that you will be promoted to viscount. ”

"So, father, what price do I have to pay?"

"After you get the viscount title, there is almost no share of the material distribution, so you need to additionally subsidize the knights who fight with you. ”

"I understand. Liszt nodded, and it was a matter of course. The viscount title already belongs to the middle-level aristocratic sequence, and it is an identity that cannot be exchanged for gold coins. An island or city that is completely your own is definitely the foundation of the family for hundreds of years.

It is equivalent to saying that he wants to pay himself to compensate the knights who have made meritorious contributions.

And then he calculated the compensation for his military merits, which made him breathe a sigh of relief, because no matter which way he judged, he himself accounted for most of the acquisition of military merits. Without Shake Sen, the Black Knights would definitely not have made brilliant achievements, so the compensation standard is not high.

"It adds up to about six thousand gold coins, and in addition to the spoils that have been privately divided, I will probably add four thousand gold coins. ”

4,000 gold coins are acceptable, which is only the revenue share of the flowers brewed for half a year.

In fact, the swift shadow bow he obtained was probably worth three or four thousand gold coins, all in all, although he did not get the right to plunder the spoils of war in this battle, he obtained the title of viscount, which was enough to satisfy him.

Then he thought again: "I am promoted to viscount, my followers, is there anyone who can be promoted?"

I thought about it.

It seems that no one has made outstanding achievements, and this is only the first time to participate in the battle, so it is not appropriate to be promoted too quickly. At most, Marcus Wheel and Charles Trap will be examined, waiting for the next performance in battle.

However, when he thought that his followers would have to divide the land for meritorious service, he always had a knot in his heart: "Divide the feudal system...... I feel very happy to get the ownership of the land, but I am very unhappy to share it with others. Am I going to change the structure of the enclosure system a little?"

With the area of Black Horse Island, under normal circumstances, it is more realistic to divide two or three barons and a dozen lords and knights.

But he didn't want to divide the land at all: "Perhaps, I can refer to the ancient Chinese system of sub-feudalism, false feud and remote collar?"

False seal, similar to the lifelong knight of this world, but lifelong knight cannot be hereditary, and the false seal can be inherited hereditarily, without food (fiefdom), and only enjoy the payment of the imperial court.

Yao Ling, the imperial court designates an area as a food yi or designates an official position as an identity, but he does not govern the food yi, nor does he really perform official duties, just a name.

Whether it is a false seal or a remote collar, it is enough honor, but in essence, it is not really divided, and all the land is still owned by the imperial court. This kind of system cannot be said to be very advanced, but in the feudal era, it had a very good effect on strengthening the centralization of power and was conducive to national unification.

Europe has always been divided, but China has always been able to unify for institutional reasons.

Soon he died down again: "Now is not the time to solve the sub-feudal system, I am just a small nobleman, low-key development is the king, first adapt to the sub-feudal system...... Maybe my followers will see that the territory is not developing as well as they should and will take the initiative to demand a change in the status quo?"

Liszt had the vision and mind of a modern man, and with the help of the smoke mission, the land would definitely burst into the greatest value in his hands.

In the hands of his followers, I am afraid that he will still return to the simple farming method of ordinary nobles, and once it is attacked by natural disasters, it is possible to go bankrupt in an instant. If it were replaced by other lords and followers, there would be no problem with this kind of separation, and everyone would live like this.

But in Flower Town, on Dark Horse Island, when the followers see that Liszt's land is becoming more and more prosperous, there will definitely be a lot of ideas.

"When the time comes, I will guide you a little, and I am afraid that without me mentioning, the followers will have to take the initiative to integrate into the new system. ”

......

Thinking about the merits of war, so that sailing was no longer boring, Liszt had to discuss the merits of war with his followers almost every day to ensure that everyone's demands were satisfactorily resolved.

At the same time, he would get together with his father and brother for a drink and then discuss the direction of the family.

"The Grand Duke didn't say anything about what happened to him and the Sapphire Dragon, but the Sapphire Dragon has definitely changed, and the Grand Duke has changed dramatically as well...... I don't know if he became a dragon knight, or a dragon lord, or something else...... The anger is far from subsided. ”

William Lee briefly stated the meeting at Fort Juniper for the reference of his two sons.

continued: "The Grand Duke's purpose of clearing Iron Hoof Island is very clear, and he wants to take Iron Hoof Island into his hands. Then with Iron Hoof Island as a reward, three more marquis were divided, and Iron Hoof Island could barely accommodate three marquis to coexist. ”

The Iron Hoof Island, owned by the Marquis of Bull, is the second largest island after Blue Dragon Island, and is almost three times the size of the Red Crab Island of the Long Taro Family.

Red Crab Island can accommodate one marquis, and Iron Hoof Island can naturally accommodate three marquises.

"So, father, do you have a chance to fight for the title of marquis?" Levi's eyes were filled with excitement, "There are three marquis candidates, there is a high probability! When the time comes, our tulip family will be the marquis family!"

"It's not three candidates, it's five candidates. William Li was also very excited, and he didn't show it in reserve, "Blue Dragon Island will also carve out two big cities, divide two marquises, and join the Blue Blood Alliance." ”

The marquis of the Blue Blood Alliance certainly does not have a comfortable life as the marquis of the fief, but the marquis is the marquis, and the benefits are far stronger than the earl.

Liszt was not tempted by the title of marquis, he frowned: "So, the Grand Duke is ready to start a more ferocious war?"

"That's right, as long as the Iron Ridge Kingdom and the Eagle Kingdom go to war, the Grand Duke will immediately issue a pioneering order to actively expand resources and fill the gap brought to the country by the Marquis of Bull. ”

"Desperate for military force...... Can the national strength of the Grand Duchy of Sapphire support such frequent wars?" Liszt said calmly, "In the battle of Iron Hoof Island, the loss of the Knights of Coral Island is already not small, more than the losses of previous exploration orders, and we need time to recover." ”

William Li smiled slightly, not caring about Liszt's worries: "The Grand Duke is ready to open the collection of prisoners, and in the future, we can replenish prisoners of war from the Eagle Kingdom and integrate them into the Knights." ”
