Ambu didn't have a new uniform, and there were blood stains on it.

However, this did not affect his high-spirited appearance when he walked out of the queue.

His leg bones were so hard that he didn't kneel when he was chased by Schwabian.

But this time, looking at Bran, he knelt down, and knelt very happily, even on both knees!

Bran looked at Ambu and thought for a moment, when Ambu was a real knight, there was a village.

Bran called for someone to bring up the map, looked at it, and said, "The village you originally received, expand a little outward, give you a barony, and command an additional fifty soldiers."

The servants of these sixty soldiers, supported by the Teutonic knights. ”

Bran read out the name of the barony, the size of the land, and the size of the population.

Ambu calculated in his heart that there were more than 3,000 people in the barony.

According to the forty of one, you can pull more than 700 people, plus the fifty people given by Bran.

Build a Hundred Guards now.

Ambu said loudly, "All glory be to Your Highness, Ambu, swear allegiance to the death. ”

Hauhel on the side felt a pain in his flesh, nominally this barony belonged to him, but in fact, it was impossible for half of him to enter his territory.

Giving territories is not a bad thing.

Bran's current strength, thinking that centralization is an act of looking for death.

The monarch grants a vassal domain in exchange for the vassal's allegiance.

All of the current territories were not strong, nor were they particularly needed by Bran, and giving them generosity to their subordinates would inspire them to have a sense of honor and loyalty.

At the same time, rebellion and taxation in the territory, they have to find a way.

Splitting has the benefit of splitting.

After Ambu got up, he looked at Haul and said meaningfully, "Your Excellency Haul, you will be your own people in the future, and our territory is connected." ”

Haugel snorted, not responding to the warning.

After Ambu stepped back, Bran picked a second man to come out.

This man is Simon.

This time he brought the mountain master down the mountain, as well as the logistics during this time, he contributed a lot.

Among the important ministers of the manor, he followed for the second longest time after Carol.

Bran also gave him a barony.

"Simon Nelson."

"The subordinates are here."

"I still remember what I promised you, now I will elevate your identity and kneel."

As Simon knelt, he overwhelmed his injured buttocks and cried out in pain.

"Then let you become a bishop, I'll help you with your activities, aren't you from a theological background? You still taught me the four ways to write the Pope. ”

Simon was frightened by these words, and Bran's manor subordinates had a smile on their faces, but only Carol and Dursley dared to laugh, and the others still had to respect him in face.

Carol even helped, "Send him to Venice, closer to the Pope, maybe he can become a cardinal?"

Now the Italians in Northern Italy and Central Italy believe in the Pope who is a priest in Venice supported by Ashclay.

Some of them like the Pope of Southern Italy, who is a priest in Rome supported by God.

Bran and others are nominally Pope of Venice, and Carol has this as the case.

"Your Highness!" Simon's head grew as he listened.

"Forget it, look at you like this, the northern leader will give you that castle, find a way to give me prosperous commerce, and protect the entry and exit of our raw materials."

The northern territory has a lot of timber and ore, and is close to the other counts and Florence, and the level of wealth is higher than that just given to Ambu.

But in terms of qualifications and performance, his status is higher than that of Ambu, so this reward is understandable.

After becoming a real Baron Simon, Simon felt no pain in his body at all.

O God! This is a real nobleman, and in the future, as long as he obeys the decree of the lord (Bran) in his territory, he will be the highest existence. ”

These two baronies, who had clamped Haugher to death, wanted to make trouble, and he had to pass through the territories of these two Bran's subordinates first.

In addition, Bran will also send a force to be stationed in the main fort of Barcelona, holding all his military power, and financial power (which must pay off debts) force him not to have two hearts.

Desley and Carol were not entitled, and the two were privately told by Bran that after consolidating the Earldom of North Carolina and unifying the north, they would be given more rewards, and at that time he would initially establish a "palace system"

The court system is equivalent to an independent lord.

Under this system, the palace minister, the deputy minister, and the five ministers are in charge...... There are also various honorary positions.

The land is loved by everyone, there are many people who want to be rewarded, and there are a lot of debts.

If you take on the land, you will naturally have to bear some debts, and as for what they do, Bran doesn't care.

Maybe expropriation, maybe robbery, maybe smuggling......

Ambu and Simon are now calculating in their heads, how to make up enough tax payments for Bran?

Brando stayed for two days to help Haugher establish absolute authority, and the relatives who remained behind of Never unanimously and openly recognized him as a legitimate lineage.

The Duchess was then brought before Bran.

Very young, about twenty years old.

It's pretty white-skinned and beautiful.

Bran is also a Frankish aristocratic matriarch, who has studied French since he was a child, and has no ill feelings towards the Franks.

But for the dangerous Franks, he will be cut off.

"Your Highness, I beg you to spare her, she is just a newborn child, and it is impossible to threaten you."

"Nefer now has two legitimate heirs, both of them are women, one is Liana and the other is your daughter, what if one day, it is seized by some speculative nobleman and comes to claim the title?"

Bran only glanced at the woman a few times, then withdrew his gaze and concentrated on the table and business.

The Duchess knelt down and tried to arouse Bran's sympathy with her tears, but it had the opposite effect.

Bran didn't even lift his head.

"Become a nun, write a document to renounce all titles, practice penance all your life, give your Duke Never and your daughter, accumulate good fortune, your daughter will be adopted by a small nobleman, and there will be no hardship in life for the rest of your life."

After the Duchess left, Bran felt like Nang, the founder of the Frankish Empire. Cape.

In order to ascend to the throne, the young king was locked up in a monastery for the rest of his life.

After the Barsa County affair was dealt with, Bran decided to go to Fort North tomorrow, where the Earl of North Carolina was still being held.

That night, in the carriage that was sending the Duchess away, it suddenly stopped at a place.

The carriage saluted the man who came out of the other carriage.

When the Duchess in the car saw Hilde open her curtain, she screamed in fright.

This made Hilde even more proud, "Honorable lady, you are afraid of an apprentice baker, the son of a farmer, it is unimaginable, haha......"

Hilde approached the Duchess and said viciously, "I know your daughter, who you are going to adopt, and where you are going to do penance. Just obey me, you can see your daughter every month, and one day, I will let you fake your death and walk out of the monastery with a new identity. ”

With that, he pressed the Duchess under him......

He was very unwilling, why didn't he have a barony fief?

Although Bran said that he would not forget, he was still uncomfortable.

So there was a kind of rebellion, and Bran was going to send the Duchess out, and he was going to sleep with the Duchess.

This can make up for the feeling that he has not become a real nobleman.

"You dare to insult the nobles like this, you are not afraid of His Highness Bran!"

"Who do you think you are? Aristocrat? You are the wife of a traitor, and when Your Highness returns to the manor, you will not have any pity for the enemy and his dependents, unlike before.

His Royal Highness's sword, killing traitors, is more ruthless than anyone else!

When you saw Your Highness today, I saw that you were wearing thin clothes, didn't you just want to tempt Your Highness?

But you've failed!

No matter how beautiful a woman is, Your Highness doesn't look at it, even if Your Highness knows, as long as I am still useful to Your Highness, Your Highness will not hurt me, understand!"

Hilde then thought of the princess of Alain, who had been imprisoned by Bran, and he slowly saw the duchess as the princess of Alain.

So he said even more rudely, "A good-looking woman? Your Highness wants as much as you want!"

Wow......

When the Duchess heard the cry of a baby outside the curtain, she complied.

In this era, women were attached to men, and commoners were dependent on the aristocracy.

The carriage swayed.

The clenched fists gradually relaxed.

It was the first Duchess to sleep with Hilde......

Just as the two carriages were entering the middle of nowhere, someone came to pay homage to Bran, who was sleeping soundly.

This man is Ichisus.

In this battle, he did not personally go into battle to kill many people, but because he was proficient in several Chinese, and had the qualifications of a nobleman and a horse thief.

He can also use a sword, and Bran asks him to build an intelligence network.

Intended to make him the Sword of the Lords (Chief of Intelligence).

A Rus, who has no relationship with anyone in the manor, will not be pressured to check on anyone.

And the deputy governor, Bran chose the loyal servant who had protected Cana for two years.

He was given the name Moru. Jones.

The name of Venice denotes the righteousness of the trustworthy.

Bran asks Moru to spy on Ichisu, who spies on his restless men, ring by ring.

Although he is not yet a real feudal lord, he can affect the survival of hundreds of thousands of people, and needs a stronger and more secure intelligence network.

In the middle of the night, Bran was still checking letters and dealing with political affairs.

He hated having to sleep.

Seeing the candlelight, Ichisu brought one of his men from the manor to report to Bran.

"Your Highness, see Lord Hilde's carriage, rendezvous with the former Duchess's carriage, and then disappear into the woods."

"Let's go down."

Bran's hand dropped the letter, and Carol in the room was polishing his sword opposite Bran.

"Your Highness, do you want to fight in the north?"

"Let's observe the situation first, according to the information we have, Ashuklai will go back to fight for power, and he shouldn't come back so soon, we will operate one or two, and we will eat as much territory as we can."

Carol snorted, and continued, "That kid didn't know that he was being watched by our people all the time, and on the first day he entered the castle, he had a lustful heart for that woman, thinking that no one knew?" You asked him to send the baby out of the city and tell him about the woman's movements, just to test his reaction, but I didn't expect him to be so rude!"

Carol picked up the polished sword and watched it by the candlelight.

When the sword is sharpened, you can kill.

He is from an orthodox aristocratic background, and he is also very proud of his bloodline, and although there is no serious discrimination against people from non-aristocratic backgrounds, he is not at ease.

Don't look at Hilde doing a lot of things, in Carol's heart, this is a dog, the owner rewarded a few bones, and then got carried away and looked at the dog in the master's bowl.

Kill Hilde, and he won't have any discomfort.

"I'm going?"

It is impossible for the vassals to be in harmony with each other.

But Carol didn't wait for Bran's instructions.

Because Hilde is still useful, Bran wants to keep him for a while, and he will not directly let a capable subordinate disappear for the sake of an uninterested enemy's daughter.

But if Hilde dares to get involved in his own usefulness, when there is old, even when he is close to him.

Even a mere "thought" in his head would have prevented the dwarf from saying a word.

Today, Hilde's behavior has put him on Bran's list of subordinates' ambitions.

Once on this list, Bran will not hesitate to eradicate it.

Brand. If Charman doesn't give it, no one can take it!
