October 3rd.

With a combination of punches, Luo Ming had basically completed the initial aftermath of the war, brought a vast territory and tens of thousands of people under his rule, and established a basic ruling order.

The trial of the traitorous nobles has finally come to an end.

Although Lomin appeared as one of the top judges in this trial, in essence, the trial was a show with a script set.

Whether they argued or repented, Luo Ming had already made a plan, and he just read it according to it.

In the end, three nobles were sentenced to death, and two nobles were sentenced to death in absentia (they were taken away by Beran's army), and they were executed when they were caught.

These five men were the most attentive to the Berans, and they also assisted the Berans in persecuting many other nobles, and their behavior was extremely bad.

When Lormin and another supreme judge, the Bishop of the Parish of Fountains, pronounced the death sentence, most of the nobles began to applaud, and there was little sadness in the mood for the death of a rabbit and a fox.

Of course, after all, they are the nobles of their country, and they have the privilege of dying to death, and they are not crucified and wailing, nor are they hanged and die a hideous death, but they are quickly beheaded and then sent for burial.

The remaining traitorous nobles were punished with a large fine, which amounted to a small amount of property to pay off their debts, to life imprisonment in the monastery and forced forfeiture of three-quarters of their territory.

Except for a few nobles who have committed serious mistakes, ordinary nobles will not be sentenced to death for crimes, and Luo Ming has no intention of using too drastic means to frighten the nobles who follow him.

But he had another trick to punish these nobles who had defected to the enemy.

That is to arrest those retainers who have no aristocratic status, such as manor stewards, stewards, ranchers, guard captains, etc., and make them confess to the crimes of the lord in court.

With such a confession, this retainer naturally tore his face with his original owner.

Of course, there must be loyal people among the retainers who will die nine times without regret - then go to death.

Although they are not directly responsible for defecting to the enemy, since they have not fulfilled the obligations of their courtiers, they have to desperately advise their masters not to take the wrong path, then it is their dereliction of duty.

Although this is actually a way to shake the pot, it can't kill all those nobles, so you can only use these retainers.

To be reasonable, Luo Ming has given them a chance to repent, since they are foolish and loyal to the end, then Luo Ming can't save them, right?

After that, even if the nobles could return to their realms, they would no longer be able to rebel - their retainers would either die or have accused them in court, and they would no longer be able to be trusted.

Without a few credible subordinates, how many people can they lead themselves? Can they manage their territory well, and it would be good if there was no chaos, and they would still take the lead in rebellion?

And just like that, the trial came to an end.

Next, it was the turn of the time to formally divide the fines and land.

Because Luo Ming did this under the guise of implementing the princess's instructions, he first left 20% of it to the royal family, and because of the cooperation of the Spring Church, he gave 10% of the property to the Spring Church.

It's about pulling down the water together and bearing the consequences together - even if those nobles are dissatisfied, they will not only oppose Luo Ming and his allies, but also the royal family and the church.

There were seventy percent next, of which Luo Ming took thirty percent, and the remaining forty percent were mostly distributed to the nobles who followed him, and some were used to canonize the meritorious to become new nobles.
