Han Xing stayed at Göttingen Castle for several days, after all, this is Han Xing's new home! As the new Earldom of Paderborn, Han Xing has a lot to do, such as meeting with the vassals, receiving all the ownerless lands, and cleaning up the mess he has caused.

"Lord Earl! Goslar Castle has been reduced to a pile of ruins, and I know that as my lord you are not obligated to help me rebuild it, after all, the castle is my private property, but I still have to ask for your mercy and help. Baron Bird knelt in front of Han Xing with a handful of snot and tears, grabbing his hand and not letting go.

Looking at Baron Bird at the bottom, Han Xing smiled bitterly and thought to himself, "I was very proud at the beginning, thinking that I didn't know which unlucky guy was going to clean up the mess in Goslar, but I didn't expect it!" Unexpected! Heaven is a good reincarnation, and I myself am the unlucky one! "It stands to reason that, just like Baron Bird said, Han Xing, as a lord, is not obliged to help Baron Bird repair and rebuild the castle, after all, the castle is Baron Bird's private property, just like weapons and armor.

Theoretically, as a lord, Han Xing only gave him the land and the inhabitants on it, so whether to build a castle or not, how much tax to collect is his own business (qíng), Han Xing only needs to ensure that he will pay taxes to himself regularly, and the other is to bring enough men and horses to join his troops when he fights.

For example, in the "Game of Thrones" TV series, there is an episode where the Lord of the North goes to Winterfell to complain about the disrepair of his castle, and Bran does not want to help, and in the end, it is Maester Lewyn who makes the decision and sends a few masons to help. This is because the castle is the private property of the nobles, and as a lord, he is not obligated to help maintain it.

But the problem is that Baron Bird can't solve this mess alone! This is a grand project equivalent to post-disaster reconstruction, even if it is out of humanitarian spirit, Han Xing has to help, right?

After all, Baron Bird is an important support for Han Xing's rule, and there is a way that a strong dragon can't suppress the head snake, as Han Xing's most important vassal, Han Xing will have to rely on his help in the future!

What's more, others don't know, Han Xing himself is not clear? Goslar's "earthquake" was directed by Han Xing at all, and it would be a lie to say that he was not guilty, so whether it was Yu (qíng) Yu Li Han Xing had to lend a hand!

"Get up, Baron Bird! You are my most important vassal, and I can't wait to help you! Han Xing stood up from his throne and sighed.

Baron Bird immediately kissed the square sapphire ring on Han Xing's middle finger, "Thank you, Lord Earl!" Your kindness and generosity will always be remembered in my heart! ”

Han Xing just nodded very decently, gave a faint "um", then changed to a comfortable position and sat down, and then shook the hem of his fine clothes and said, "Baron Bird, what problems do you have in terms of reconstruction?" ”

"You'd better not ask for money!" Han Xing thought silently in his heart. Although Han Xing is now an earl, in fact, his economic level is the worst among the counts in the Duchy of Hesse, because his county is not complete, and the richest area of Paderborn is still in the hands of the Archbishop of Münster!

"I don't dare ask you for money, I just hope you can help me rebuild the castle!" Baron Bird pleaded respectfully.

"That's not too much!" Han Xing thought to himself, and put his finger to his lips as he spoke.

In fact, Han Xing fell into a misunderstanding, building a house in the Middle Ages was far less troublesome than in modern times, and there was no need to pay for any building materials at all. Almost everything is ready-made, wood is cut directly, stone is dug directly, and the main thing is that manpower is needed.

"Got it! I'll send three hundred strong to your aid!" How long will your project last? Han Xing crossed his legs, and then flicked his fingers on the armrest of the chair.

"About a year! The main thing is that I have to clean up the rubble first, which will take almost two months! Baron Bird thought for a moment, and cautiously gave a number.

"Hmm~~ Have you ever considered rebuilding the castle elsewhere? Why don't you just take the original ruins from the original ruins? After all, that place doesn't seem to be very auspicious... You know... I've heard there's a gate to hell down there. Han Xing pursed his lips, took the crystal wine glass on the side and shook the red liquid in it, and then pretended to take a deep breath on the glass.

"Lord Earl, you are so wise! This cuts engineering time in at least half! Baron Bird had a feeling of surprise, of course, even if Han Xing's proposal was not feasible (xìng), he would not dare to refute it, would he?

Han Xing picked up the crystal wine glass, played with it in his hand, and then took a sip, and waved his right hand with the sapphire ring towards Baron Bird, signaling that he could go down.

Baron Bird left with great gratitude, looking at his back, Han Xing shook his head helplessly, and then poured a sip of red wine.

Han Xing had a general understanding of the property problem in Göttingen Castle, and now there are only about a few hundred catties of potatoes, bread and other dry food in the city, which the Duke of Hesse left for himself before leaving, which can provide at least a few hundred people to eat for a month.

Baron Sheen has a lot of family resources, and there are tens of thousands of gold coins in the treasury, but unfortunately the Duke of Hesse only left half of it for Han Xing, but overall it is not a big deal, Han Xing doesn't even know how much property he has, and there are at least a mountain of gold bricks in the riverside area, which are all financial reserves of the bank, and now it is completely cheap Han Xing.

It is worth mentioning that the sapphire ring on Han Xing's hand is the best collection of Baron Sheehan's family, the silver ring is set into petals, and it is inlaid with a navy blue square sapphire, which looks noble (bī) people, and the square has the meaning of loyalty, not to mention that Han Xing directly set the sky blue swallow on a white background as his coat of arms (this is the armor given by Robert), this ring complements Han Xing.

"Uncle Hanschel! I've been to all the villages around Göttingen, informed all the village chiefs about your becoming the new Count of Paderborn, and have come back with a lot of food and vegetables! Suddenly, Roy's (shēn) shadow appeared in front of the door, and he walked in with his helmet in his arms and sweating, but with a happy face.

It stands to reason that Roy doesn't need to be out of the way for this kind of trivial matter, but given that Han Xing has just taken over this mess, he needs to have a reliable person to do these things (qíng), after all, it is also a very important thing to contact those villages and inform them about the "change of dynasty" (qíng).

"Roy, you're back! Thank you for your hard work, come! Han Xing also greeted him with a happy face, patted him on the shoulder, and then the person snapped his fingers, and a servant brought a tray with a glass of water with lemon on it. Han Xing personally poured a cup and handed it to Roy.

"Why not wine?" Roy looked at the wine glass in Han Xing's hand with a sad look and asked wistfully.

"What kind of wine do children drink?" Han Xing shoved the lemonade into his hand and said.

"I'm nineteen years old!" Roy protested angrily, but reluctantly poured the glass of water.

"Sir Roy, you can choose one of the villages you've been to as your fief!" When Roy drank the cup of water and put the cup back on the plate held by the servant, Han Xing suddenly said with a straight face.

Han Xing waved his hand at the servant, then pulled Roy over and said, "Roy, you are already a knight, and with Robert personally canonizing you, I won't do anything more." Choose your own village as your fief, and it will be my reward for you!" As he spoke, Han Xing unfolded a parchment map for Roy.

In the end, Roy chose a place called Green Valley, a village in the east of Paderborn, as the name suggests, a small valley surrounded by forests and hills, Roy chose it because of its beautiful scenery, its location on the lower reaches of the Les River, its easy accessibility, and its location almost on the same line as Göttingen Castle.

After hastily dealing with the matter of Paderborn (qíng), Han Xing took Roy and returned to Ganquan Village in Count Na's domain, because it was also his domain, and although he was no longer a vassal of Count Sāo, his oath of allegiance to Count Sāo was not broken. It's just that because of the promotion of his status, the two have become equal, and the allegiance relationship is automatically dissolved!

"Look! This place is beautiful, Rhaeggar, let's go there! Lyanna did not ride with Rhaegar and although she looked like a delicate little girl, she was actually a female knight known as the "Centaur".

Rhaegar shrugged his shoulders and smiled at Han Xing helplessly, and then rode his horse to chase after him, "Lyanna, don't ride too fast!" Wait for me! He was followed by Oswell Ha An, Geralt Hightower, and Arthur Dayne, who were also riding horses to follow.

Arthur Dane also looked back at Ashara Dane, who was riding with Barristan, and Barristan gave him a "Don't worry, I'm here!" He turned (shēn) and chased after Rhaegar.

"Shall we have a race to ride a horse? Rhaegar! See who of us is the first to get to the river! Lyanna's silver-bell-like laughter came from a distance, in the warm breeze.

"Alas, Rhaegar is really a husband and a father now! I'm afraid I'm going to break my heart (cāo), but it's always good that Lyanna can be happy again! Han Xing sighed, after all, he was extremely sorry for having to leave Lyanna's child (the future Jon) to be raised by Eddard.

Now Han Xing (shēn) is left with only Barristan and Ashara and Roy, who are leisurely riding on a white horse while taking a walk and watching the scenery, but unfortunately Ashara's (jiāo) laughter is always endless, and they also sent Han Xing candy and dog food all the way after walking all the way.

Han Xing regretted "letting them out" a little, "My single (shēn) dog released these two pairs, isn't this looking for abuse?" Blunder! What a mistake! "Fortunately, Ganquan Village is already close at hand.

"I'm lucky to be back again!" Looking at the white "cake castle" that had already caught his eye, Han Xing shouted in his heart.
