Chapter 58: Untitled
"But not long afterward, the bandits came, and they took over the village, killed many people, and then they could not collect the taxes......"
"Then, a man called the Marcola Chamber of Commerce came, saying that there was an iron mine in our territory, and they were willing to lease it for mining at a price of 200 dinars per year, saying that our iron ore was barren and only gave so much, but at that time, the people of the Moen family were in a hurry, and the manpower in the Zhuangzi was not enough, and we orphans and widows, if they insisted on mining, we couldn't stop it, and promised them at least 200 dinars a year to pay you tuition...... By the way, baby, you're going to get rid of them all. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info "Mrs. Cabas reacted at this time, it seems that the population of the village now, or the armament of the manor, does not need to be afraid of those people, "Let me tell you, our family's iron ore is not what they say is barren, it is a big ......"
"Yes, Mother, don't worry, I've already started doing this. Lu Sien nodded gently, talked to his mother about some other things, and finally ended the conversation.
By the time the mother hummed a little tune again to fiddle with the baby in her window, Lu Sien's gentle face was already gloomy.
He already knew the general thing, his iron mine was not a secret, after his father left, the people of the Moen family couldn't wait to start their vicious annexation plan, the harassment of the bandits, the inaction of the feudal lord, Lu Sien was driven out of the castle, in fact, the plan should be to die in the hands of a group of bandits, and finally wait for the news of his father's sacrifice on the battlefield, or even if the army of the Grand Duke of Bauhinia is really triumphant, they will not allow their father to return to the territory safely, of course, if it is dead, it is even better。
Of course, there are some deeper things behind this, but Lu Sien has limited information, and he can't deduce that this land was ownerless from the beginning, if you want to count, it can be regarded as the border wasteland of the Bauhinia Duchy, which belongs to the Grand Duke of Bauhinia in legal terms, and this iron ore has not been explored.
The pioneer Black Hoof family and the Bucks family learned the news as their own power slowly grew, and coincidentally, this location was just on the border line of the two families, and the two sides were once inseparable, and at the same time asked the Grand Duke of Bauhinia to seal the ownership of this land, the reason is that some villagers are grabbing water, stealing cattle and other spicy chicken excuses.
But after all, it is such a large group of interests, maybe it is the uneven distribution of the dog's blood before the victory, or some other bloody thing, in short, a local nobleman like the Grand Duke of Bauhinia revealed the news, and there is no way to verify what interests are wanted to be exchanged in the middle.
In short, the little nobleman died soon after, quietly and quietly. But the matter is not over yet, of course, the Grand Duke of Bauhinia also covets this piece of fat, but there is no reason to intervene, after all, this land has been managed by the Black Hoof family and the Buck family for a long time, if he rashly dispatches developers, most of them will have no return, and there is also a risk of civil war in the principality, after all, whether it is the Black Hoof family or the Bucks family, they all think that the Grand Duke is not aware, if they learn the news that the Grand Duke knows, probably the first thing is to unite.
It was under such a large premise that Lu Sien's father, Kabas, who gave a huge amount of property, came into being, and the Duke of Bauhinia gave him the title of Lord Kabas, and the territory drawn for him on the map was in the middle of the territory of the two great nobles, and it included the location of the iron mine, of course, at that time, this iron mine was not shown on the map.
Otherwise, how could Kabas get a reward on the spot, this is unprecedented, before Kabas, countless people who have gone before have just got an honorary title, which may sound better, what a glorious viscount, a glorious count or something, and then mix up an errand in the court, and when they die, the children will not inherit anything. At that time, Kabas was called "Lucky Kabas", and even Master Kabas himself thought so. I have to say that this title is much better than what "Clean Knight Lu Sien".
Moreover, being under the jurisdiction of the Moen family is also to balance the strength of a field earl and a field marquis, my vassals are not my vassals, and the Grand Duke is not worried that the Black Hoof family can make a move to cross the line.
Even in order to prevent the Moen family's "corrosion" of Kabas, the duke's army specially recruited Kabas and his eldest son on the condition of hereditary military merits, and on the battlefield, how to protect the safety of the two of them and prevent them from getting enough merit for hereditary territory, the duke naturally did this on the surface in order not to attract the attention of others, and also made great efforts.
Otherwise, it is not without reason why the Moen family was willing to let little Lusen enter the castle at the beginning, and directly tore his face after Carpas was recruited.
In the name of mediating between the two nobles, a little baggy was sent to run a buffer zone for the two families who had made great contributions to the duchy, and the dispute between the two sides over the reasons of those spicy chickens was settled, and this result would bring the duke a certain amount of prestige.
Secondly, Lord Kabas, who was unfamiliar with the land and did not have much property left, was also unable to develop the iron mine, not to mention, the duke specially called him away.
In the end, it is the most important part of the plan, which can be regarded as a hundred-year plan! Maybe the Duke himself will not see the end of this plan! When Lord Kabas dies and the territory is recovered by the kingdom, at that time, the Duke, perhaps the second generation of the Duke, will of course "take it for granted" to know that there is a huge mineral vein in the position that belongs to "his own territory", and no one can blame him for developing it on the basis of righteousness.
The ideal situation is that the embarrassed and angry Moen family jumped out to make trouble by themselves, at this time the duchy stood on the moral high ground, and the buck leader had no reason to send troops, cleaned up the Moen family, and got such a huge vein, and then continued to annex the big nobles such as bucks and gray wolves (remote and weak countries, except for the Bauhinia Principality, most of the other marquis and earls are animal spirits). Eventually, the Principality of Bauhinia became the Kingdom of Bauhinia......
Of course, these are far away, and they have little to do with the current Lu Sien.
Lu Sien's attention is on the Blackhoof family, the Marcola Chamber of Commerce, and the Grand Duke of Bauhinia who has used them to cause harm to his cherished family.
It is difficult for ordinary people to understand Lu Sien's paranoia about his family, Xi Fan will not say it, a silk traverser, and he will never see his family again, and Lu Sien, from memory, is an orphan, I am talking about Emperor Lu Sien, no relatives and no reason, even if he finally became a prophecy and was confirmed to be the royal bloodline, but the remaining relatives, what Queen Ursula, what Sir Pandaria, every time they look at him, they are full of greed and desire.
It's hard to describe what a shock it had to this trinity soul when the poor little Alice handed out her only bit of gold to Lu Sien, and then called out her brother glutinously. (Of course, there are some miscellaneous thoughts, such as someone's declaration that I finally have a real sister...... )
And now, the Marcola Chamber of Commerce, Lu Sien is going to let them spit everything out with interest.
The Bauhinia Principality, the two sides are considered a transaction, and the other party is still a behemoth for Lu Sien. Lu Sien planned to settle down a little here, so he went to pick up his father and brother back, and after that, he would slowly calculate when the time came.
As for the Moen family, now is not the time for Lu Sien to do something to them, just wait for the heresy to slowly ferment, Lu Sien is not ready to announce the news, originally maybe he was concerned about the relationship of the surrounding aristocratic network, Lu Sien was also ready to reveal some words to the Marquis of Stag, but now, Lu Sien has no responsibility for things outside his territory.
......
Knock ~ Knock step, the crisp sound of horses' hooves sounded, and Lu Sien rode on the horse, with a team of dog legs, showing off his might.
Well, the benevolent Lord Lu Sien is going to draw people again, Lu Sien planned for a night, and then when he set off early in the morning, he took only Sheila and the militiamen who continued to train. The other knights were given a day off by Lu Sien, and they could do whatever they wanted, such as going out hunting, coming back to take a bubble bath or something, but there was only one point, except for Sheila, no one else could follow Lu Sien.
During this period of time, because of the relationship between the flag, the training can not be as intense as before, these days, everyone is unconsciously a little relaxed, compared to the hellish hard training some time ago, now the daily training although the intensity looks OK, but there is always a feeling of idleness, for these recruits, morale is inevitably a little low, everyone is lazy.
The main reason is that everyone faces the daily meal, and although it is relaxed, but the progress of training is not as good as before, this sense of disparity is easy to cause this kind of whether I am useless, will the lord fire me tomorrow; I don't want to go back to farming; I was finally chosen, and the one next door was not selected and was ridiculed by me......
These recruits are difficult to overcome, and the results of their training have been declining. It just so happened that the Marquis of Dicar had sent the sword and the chain cuirass, and the helmet of the blacksmith shop had not yet been completed, so it was left alone.
Lu Sien directly sent a set for each person, put it on his body, and started a one, well, called running to the end of the training.
Let's go, Gold Coin Pit!
Phew, what a spitting name......
