Although it may seem unfair to do so, after all, Schwartz has much more credit than Adler. However, in Europe, bloodline is more important than merit.

A person of noble blood was born to be an officer. For example, the famous Duke of Wellington in England, who was born in a noble family, was young, and spent a sum of money to buy the rank of colonel. Colonel starts! The colonel is a big man at the level of regiment commander and brigade commander, managing the work of thousands or even thousands of people - this is the power of blood...... And a soldier from an ordinary person may not reach the level of a lieutenant officer in his life, and can only be a small soldier leader such as a non-commissioned officer......

This was in the 19th century, when Europe began to focus on the rights and interests of ordinary people. And in the 16th century, the situation was even more serious. The children of the great nobles, as soon as they entered the army, were high-ranking officers. And ordinary people...... Maybe you won't be able to be an officer until you die......

Why is Marin's army so combat-ready and morale-high? Because, the soldiers understand that even if they are ordinary people, as long as they perform well, they have the opportunity to be promoted. If he had worked under other nobles, such an opportunity would never have been possible...... And in order to become nobles, many civilian soldiers dare to exchange their lives......

Because of the difference in blood, Adler doesn't have to fight, he can still get the most credit, and the upgrade is faster than Schwartz. Schwartz would not have any opinion on this. Why? This is the tradition and custom of Europe!

Therefore, when Marin promoted Adler before promoting meritorious soldiers, not only would there be no resistance, but he would also be praised for "understanding the rules......

Thinking of this, Marin said directly to Adler:

"Adler, you have arranged this matter, take the time to go back to Aurich with me!"

"What are you doing?" Adler was a little puzzled.

"Raise your knighthood......" Marin said calmly.

"Again again? I haven't fought a few battles, so I'm embarrassed......" Adler said with his hands rubbed together in embarrassment. Of course, he wouldn't refuse. The good thing that falls from the sky, who doesn't want it is stupid......

Sister-in-law Liv suddenly became interested and asked happily:

"What a knighthood? How much did the fiefdom increase? Thinking that the granary might be filled with grain after adding a fief, she smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed. The feeling of lying on the pile of gold coins and counting the money, Liv simply loved it......

"The official viscount, the highest rank among the third-level viscounts. As for the fiefdoms...... Triple the amount of arable land......"

Adler now has 5,000 yugram fiefs, of which 2,000 yugrams, or 24,000 acres, are arable. If it is tripled, it will be 72,000 acres of arable land......

Such a huge amount of fiefdom and reward, if it were left in ancient China, it was estimated that those ministers would be jealous to death. Why? Because of the rewards in ancient China, there are generally hundreds of acres or thousands of acres of land. 72,000 acres of land, it is estimated that most of the courtiers do not have so much land......

You know, that's the Great Empire of the East. There is no way for such a large empire to have so much arable land. Only those who wantonly annexed land in his later years like Xu Jie were able to get the land to as much as 240,000 mu, which frightened countless people.

Anyway, with so much land, plus Marin's special fertilizer and advanced farming management technology, those 72,000 acres of arable land can bring untold wealth to Adler every year. With the high price of food in Europe, having so much high-yield arable land is almost like owning a mountain of gold coins......

Whether it is Adler or sister-in-law Liv, they are all happy with the beautiful "money scene". The couple's eyes were full of gold coins at this time, and they looked satisfied.

Seeing their expressions, Marin was also very satisfied......

Why? Marin was worried that the Adlers would not be satisfied with the reward, for example, an earl or something......

If Adler really wants the earldom, Marin is really not easy to refuse. However, the title of earl is too high-level. Even for the counts of vassal states, that is quite rare. Becoming an earl means entering the top aristocratic circles and having the qualifications to participate in the competition for the throne.

Therefore, Marin was not very happy to share the top titles of the earl in his Grand Duchy. When it comes to the earl, it is basically unsealable. If you want to escalate, there is no other way but to rebel......

However, Adler's presence is very sensitive. If Marin was alive, he would naturally not be worried about his other thoughts. But if he dies before Adler, then it is a big problem.

At that time, Adler could claim that he was forced to renounce his inheritance. Then, jump out and fight Caesar for the throne, then it's a big problem. Adler alone is naturally not a threat, but what if a foreign force intervenes? Like the Edward of the House of York......

So, Marin has been paying close attention to Adler's reaction. Adler was a scumbag and didn't have much acting talent. Therefore, it is best to observe its reaction on the spot.

Fortunately, Adler was not so dissatisfied with becoming a viscount. Even, I felt a little embarrassed and surprised. This made Marin very satisfied. This means that Adler does not have much ambition.

Sister-in-law Liv is too, this girl is a female version of Adler, a scumbag, and aggressive, but she has no heart. Although some women are petty and sometimes have some scheming interests, they are all for Adler. And this is just a wife's duty, there is nothing to say.

This couple is relatively simple and rough people, and this kind of quality is exactly what Marin wants to see. If they were as thoughtful as their brother Albert, Marin would probably have to think about getting rid of them......

However, when rewarding Adler with fiefdoms, Marin also played tricks - he did not give Adler land in the territory of Lyre County, which is close to Adler's current fiefdom, but allocated 2,000 eugrams of arable land to Adler in the Oldenburg region and the Jutland Peninsula respectively.

In this way, Adler's fiefdom was divided into three pieces and could not be concentrated. In this way, even if Adler had his own strength in the future, he would not be able to gather in one place. For example, the escort retinue must be divided into three places separated by a long distance. In this way, the force directly in Adler's hands was greatly reduced.

In addition, Marin also gave Adler a "big package" that allowed him to retain the title of "Baron Lyle". Moreover, he was also allowed to transfer the title of Baron Lyle, including the barony and castle of Lyle, to his second son......

Although Adler's eldest son has not yet been born, he is still young, and the couple is in good health, and there is a high possibility of giving birth to a second son.

And the new title that Marin intends to give Adler is Viscount Oldenburg. His two new estates in the future will be near Oldenburg and Jutland. Of course, this manor near the city of Oldenburg will serve as Adler's home fiefdom, and Marin will help him build a castle at his expense.

As for the original Barony of Lyle, Marin was very hopeful that Adler would transfer it to his second son. In this way, Adler's fiefdom will be weakened.

Such a practice, but those who are familiar with Chinese history, may be broken in one sentence - isn't this the Han Dynasty's "Tui En Order"? If the title and territory of Baron Lyle are transferred to the second son, then Adler's eldest son will only be left with two fiefs in Oldenburg and Jutland, and his strength will drop by one-third, which is naturally less threatening than before......

Although he was a little reluctant to calculate his own cheap big brother who was not very smart, Marin knew that the monarch should be ruthless......

Of course, this refers to the ruthlessness of the heart. On the surface, however, it is necessary to show warmth and affection, as if he attaches great importance to his family and subjects, and the banner of morality must be waved a few times a day...... If you can't do this, you should go as a small person as soon as possible, so that you can avoid the tragic end of dying without a body in the future...... 8)
