With his new allegiance to Kenos, William returned to his domain. x updates are the fastest

This territory, which is only more than 60 kilometers horizontal and vertical, and has an area of only more than 300 square kilometers, makes William feel very relieved.

For here are his armies, and his subjects, and his rulers.

Passing through the village, Kenos sat in a carriage and watched with interest at the scene in front of him, the rich villages, the sturdy people, the energetic children, the various weapons that were constantly being produced.

There are also cattle and sheep grazing on the grass outside the village, the lords who process and dry meat, and the villagers who occasionally tend to the fields.

He had a similar experience to Delsaith, having traveled a lot since graduating from college, so he was no less knowledgeable than Delsaith.

It's just that most of his talents are in law and construction, and not like Del Seth, who has a certain degree of attainment in training and heavy cavalry tactics.

However, both of them were destined to be impossible commanders in William's forces in the end, and they would both become nobles and have their own armies.

Even if William wanted to centralize power like the Celestial Empire, it would be basically impossible to achieve, and this move could even be compared to the abolition of the Holy Religion.

The limit of what he can do is to weaken the military power of the nobles as much as possible, and then make the court nobles more and let the nobles serve in large quantities.

William's initial plan was to make the nobles pay taxes, and the larger the territory, the higher the title, the higher the tax rate they would have to bear, so as to completely curb the nobles' ambitions to expand and the number of troops.

Without these two, the power of the nobility will gradually shrink, and the threat to the royal family will become more.

But if the nobles were to oppose this policy unanimously, there was nothing he could do but implement it through indoctrination and differentiation of interests.

William's days in the realm were both busy and leisurely, and he spent his time in the main castle or outdoors supervising the training of the trainee knights.

There is also the training of soldiers, and the heavy cavalry unit still has not been greatly improved.

The rest of the time is used to have a banquet with the knights, go to the territory for a stroll, and enjoy the worship expressions revealed by the people in their busyness.

Then there's going hunting, or going fishing in the river.

Abbot Cruise, the abbey's helper, did not have much influence in the realm himself, as William recruited many monks from elsewhere.

Although they were also monks, they were homeless and wandering, and they were recruited by William on good terms, and then he arranged a church in each village for the monks to preside over.

This group of monks took William's money, and of course they had to do things for William, and when the people were worshipping happily, they would often consciously or unconsciously promote William's legitimacy.

And because every village has a church, they no longer have to travel all the way to St. Nero's monastery to worship, so the influence of St. Nero's monastery is increasing.

However, Abbot Cruise didn't show much dissatisfaction with this, the Convent of St. Nero didn't have much strength in the territory, and Abbot Cruise didn't even have the capital to confront William.

So of course he has to keep silent, anyway, he didn't have rights before, and he doesn't have rights now, and the only difference may be that his income is less.

But it doesn't matter, anyway, the bulk of their income is still the production of serfs.

More than four months have passed, and the construction of the castle is in full swing, and the rammed earth structure of the first layer of wooden planks has been basically completed, and the thickness of this layer has reached one meter alone.

The bricklaying of the second layer has just begun, and the stones in charge of the Reims Guild have been transported to the territory one after another.

In a few months, the honey business has also opened up, not quality, just the quantity has made William make a lot of money.

Now his financial situation is quite good, the two pillar industries allow him to earn a lot of income, plus because of the prosperity of business, he can draw out more than 500 silver coins every month in business taxes, which is not income.

And Lingsi was also completely captured by William during this time, and on a dark and windy night in the moon, he once again pushed Lingsi to the **.

Then began a fierce charge, and with a high-pitched scream, Lingsi silently lay on William's chest and sobbed.

Hugging Lingsi tightly, William whispered love words in her ear, and the aged Lingsi could withstand the invasion of this large wave of love words.

Soon fell into William's arms, and in the following days, William accompanied Lingsi a lot of the time, and of course Weina couldn't be left out in the cold.

In short, he is proud.

However, while he was leisurely, a piece of news suddenly shocked the whole of Denlenburg.

Viscount Raul, who had worked hard and was highly respected, died of illness in the autumn season, the cause of death was the recurrence of old wounds, and the two hammers he had suffered in the Battle of Lomi Valley made his old body even weaker.

After William received the news, he was not particularly comfortable, after all, he had also been taken care of by Viscount Raul, and he still had a lot of friendships.

The messenger sent a letter stating that in two weeks there would be a funeral for Viscount Raul, and it was hoped that all the nobles would be present to attend.

"What's going on? William? ”

Even if Wella is married to William, her childishness has not subsided much, and she may not begin to mature until she has children.

William touched her head and said with a wry smile: "Viscount Raul died of illness in the autumn, dying of a recurrence of old injuries, and we have to go to his funeral!" ”

"What? Viscount Raul he ...... Passed away? Wella covered her mouth with her hand, Baron Comos's title was Viscount Raul, so she didn't see him much from Wella, but the kind uncle died suddenly.

This made her feel a little unrealistic.

"Yes, the battle of Lomi Valley is too dangerous, in which battle, Viscount Raul was smashed twice in the chest by the enemy, he may be too old to recover well, and this will cause the old wound to recur."

William kissed Wella and said, "Go and let the servants clean up, tomorrow we will have to leave for Viscount Raul's funeral!" ”

At the same time, the entire Denlenburg nobility was full of shock, and many of them had been cared for by Viscount Raul.

When Viscount Cowen was powerful, many nobles were able to continue to survive under the protection of Viscount Raul.

As for Viscount Winston, he didn't care about anything, staying in his castle and indifferent to other things.

The Earl was very sad about Viscount Raul's death, and unlike Viscount Winston, he had a very deep relationship with Viscount Raul.

Many times he was firmly on the Earl's side, and they were friends from the old to the old, so the Count seemed very sad.

William and Wella sat in a four-wheeled carriage, with a dozen heavy cavalry and a dozen knights guarding them for their safety.
