Chapter 177: The Meeting of Vassals (2) Asking for a Monthly Pass
After the two of them sat down, Lynn first quipped, "You don't have to worry about me, I only plan to take the oath of office on the Iron Throne, King." ”
"Hey, hey. ”
"Haha, the guardian is so courageous. ”
Lynn's words made a burst of good-natured snickering suddenly sound in the council room, which had become a little depressed due to the quarrel.
"But the North needs to mint its own coins," Lynn continued, not waiting for the laughter to die down, "It's best to have a mint in White Harbor, where there are fewer and fewer currencies in circulation, and the common people need silver deer and copper coins for use in the North." ”
Lyanna stood up and said, "What about the golden dragon?"
Lynn glanced at her, "The golden dragon is not necessary, and even the silver moon on the silver deer is not minted, we just mint coins for the common people, without coins, it is always inconvenient for the common people." ”
Lyanna looked at Lynn's face suspiciously, with a righteous and awe-inspiring expression, as if she was a herdsman who loved her people, but she realized that this was not the Lynn she knew at all.
Lynn is a fox, not a simple roe deer.
Only minting low-level currency has no profit at all, and it is very energy-consuming, which is also the willingness of Silver Deer and Copper to be less and less on the mainland.
However, although the little bear girl noticed the abnormality, she could not produce evidence, and Lynn behaved flawlessly.
The proposal was seen as a gesture of generosity on the part of Lynn and was quickly and unanimously approved.
Lynn asked Alverred to issue a negotiation contract for the lords to sign, as long as the negotiation contract was signed, the lord had no right to prevent the people in the realm from signaling the coinage of White Harbor, and if he violated the contract, as a feudal lord, he would have the right to make appropriate rulings, such as additional taxes.
He was very concerned about this matter, and he specially pulled out the talk because Lynn had his own careful thoughts in it, and the silver deer and copper points minted in the north in the future would be engraved with the family emblem of the Gripen family.
He deliberately ignored this point and didn't say it, and the nobles who signed the agreement in the future must not dare to say anything.
At most, he scolded Lynn in private for being cunning.
fell for the upright conspiracy, and no one can complain about others.
What's more, Lynn was not as strong as she was in promoting agricultural reform today, which still made the nobles of the northern realm privately breathe a sigh of relief.
If it is said that Lynn's previous practice of abolishing the military levy and only collecting money, taxes and food was welcomed by a considerable number of vassals, and was also resisted by a branch of vassals, it is equivalent to a mixed feeling of favor and dislike.
The strong stance of the agrarian reform almost aroused the anger of the nobles in the north.
If it weren't for the fact that Lynn's potato cultivation could indeed benefit these nobles, I am afraid that a civil war in the north would be inevitable.
At that time, Lynn will not be able to develop internal affairs, and will need to deal with the uprisings of large and small nobles in the north.
It was also through the promotion of agricultural reform that Lynn also gained some ruling experience as a feudal lord of the great north.
Every nobleman has been able to inherit for hundreds of thousands of years because of their dedication to their own interests, and if you deprive them of their privileges, they will turn against you.
If your contract is unfair, such as repeatedly increasing taxes to squeeze vassals, you will suffer a tyranny penalty for it, and the effect will affect all vassals.
Because your actions violate the feudal contractual relationship between kings and ministers.
Conversely, lower taxes and the strength of the conscription of soldiers in their territory will increase their opinion of you.
Of course, each liege's attitude towards everything is different, and each different obligation option can increase or decrease opinion.
As long as Lynn doesn't challenge the common good of all of them, there won't be much opposition.
And even if you do something bad, as a vassal you can choose to forgive you by giving your vassals certain privileges, such as ensuring that they get a position as an officer.
If you want to make unequal terms, you can do so, but to counteract tyranny demerits you will have to use tactics to blackmail a vassal into agreeing to your terms without provoking a backlash.
Therefore, Lynn plans to feed a sweet date to some of the vassals first.
When the contract between the kings and the courtiers, which was very textured in fine parchment, was signed, the old butler Alweired ordered the servants who served beside him to recollect it from the table below.
Looking at the pile of parchment resting on the desk in front of him.
Lynn casually reached out and took a copy of the contract with the wax seals of their respective families on it.
Look at the autographs above: White Harbor City, Lynn Rothschild, Cahoe City, Harrion Karstark.
Lynn was slightly stunned.
The city of Cahoe sits far northeast of Winterfell, in the center of a wooded forest by the end of the river, close to the Trembling Sea.
As a branch of the Stark family, the Karstark family is actually very kind to Winterfell. In modern times, the Karstark family twice responded to the call of the distant relatives and the feudal lord Stark family.
The last Lord of Cahoe, Earl Rickard, had participated in the Battle of the Trident. After that, he once again raised troops to assist Robb in the Battle of the Five Kings.
During the war in Riverlands, Harion, the eldest son of Earl Rickard, was captured by the Lannisters, and two other sons were also killed in battle.
Eager for revenge, Rickard murdered two Lannister captives in Riverrun, causing the old-fashioned Robb to sentence him to death, and Robb even beheaded Rickard himself to prevent danger, and the southbound Karstark army defected from the North.
After Rickard's death, Harrion became the new Earl of Cahoe.
"Who's Count Harrion Karstark?" Lynn shouted toward the center of the arena, raising the parchment in her hand.
A man in his twenties with a haggard face and a black beard stood up and saluted Lynn, "Lord Guardian, I'm Harion, I don't know what happened to my lord?"
Lynn glanced at the man in a pitch-black wool coat embroidered with the family's sunrise coat of arms.
is obviously very young, but he looks full of vicissitudes.
"I heard that you were captured by the Lannisters and imprisoned in Nuquan Town, when did you return to the North?" asked Lynn.
"It was the Knight Brienne who met me at the fishing market in Female Springs and rescued me. ”
"Brienne Knight?"
"Yes. ”
It was actually a beauty who saved him, could it be that when he went to Riverrun City to rob the monarch Jaime, he did it easily?
Lynn thought so, and suddenly raised her voice and asked.
"Then why did you Karstark seize Winterfell a few months ago, and try to fight me in the name of the Starks?"
