Chapter 666: Soaring Forward (8)
During this time, the landscape of the entire Vanchy county changed dramatically.
Lockin's own territory in the county of Van Shee already made up a quarter of the county, and he was also the regent of the little count, who in turn had nearly a third of the county under his name.
There are also some small nobles who completely fell to him and became his ironcore, and he also canonized a group of heroes under his command to become new nobles.
Today, he has about 72 percent of the county under his tight control, and the remaining 28 percent obeys him at least verbally.
This does not take into account the part of the Carlow Mountains outside the limits of Vanshire in the traditional conception, as well as the part outside the Carlow Mountains.
Luo Ming had nothing to do before, and asked people to stake their horses on the grasslands outside the mountains, although there were not many people there except for a few nomads, but it was still okay to be pastures, and when showing off or showing off to others, that large grassland could also be counted in the total area of the territory.
According to this blowing method, Luo Ming's territory has far exceeded the size of a county, beyond the scope of the earl, and has reached a higher level.
Of course, this is used for bragging, and it does not truly reflect his strength, and he also knows that this kind of thing is easy to get people carried away, so he does not publicize the matter of "running horses to open up the territory".
In the military map, the part of the northern steppe is not directly painted in the color of the territory of Luoming, but is ambiguously painted in light color, and the words "Territorial Defense Circle" are marked on it.
But even if you don't talk about the small actions in the northern steppe, even if you only look at the size of Luo Ming's territory known to the public, he is definitely qualified to be called a great nobleman.
A newborn nobleman who was a commoner four years ago, and now he has soared to the sky, and his strength can be said to be in the top 20 in the whole principality.
In Luo Ming's own opinion, there is nothing incredible, just like the score of the college entrance examination, sometimes one more point can make the ranking move up more than a dozen places, and if the test is more than ten points higher, hundreds of people can be thrown off immediately.
Luo Ming's current strength definitely surpasses that of ordinary county guards, and there are only more than 110 counties in the whole principality, how many of them have the strength of nobles beyond ordinary county guards, and can they be compared with Luo Ming at the same level?
If Luo Ming could be promoted as an ordinary inspirational story when he was named a viscount before, now he can be said to be the hero of a legendary story.
In the eyes of other nobles and even the royal family, he belonged to a huge accident that suddenly jumped out, and many things were stepped on the edge of the rules, almost out of line.
Luo Ming believes that there must be people who are willing to make friends with his new force, but there are also many people who are very unfamiliar with him, suspicious, and even have a certain degree of discrimination and hostility.
Essentially, this is impossible to eliminate, unless Login directly dominates the principality and then exterminates the opposition - and even then, the hostility will only go underground.
But to a certain extent, he still wanted to minimize the suspicion and hostility of other nobles.
Having more friends and fewer enemies is the essence of politics.
Of course, it also depends on spending and income. If you give a piece of land or a large sum of money to someone for free, anyone who receives this generous gift will be kind to you, but this is obviously a loss-making business.
Luo Ming wanted to increase the friendliness of more nobles, also for the sake of more profits, not to really make friends with them.
Of course, if you have the same interests and can achieve a win-win situation, you may become real "friends", but that's for later.
