-190- War Money

With the full recovery of the North, Castel's rebellion ended with the fall of the Glys.

The official version is that the Legris family colluded with the Blood Demon Cult to summon the evil gods in the ruins of the Northland, but in the end, they turned against themselves, leading to the destruction of the entire family.

All kinds of legends, with the Viscount of Lygliss being fully taken over by the Castells, became a shape.

In particular, the "Heart Season" that almost the entire Northland residents felt some time ago was rumored to be related to the failed divine descent of the Blood Demon Sect, which increased the authenticity of this matter.

In the taverns in the streets and alleys, in the salons of nobles and merchants, people talk about it, which is an extra conversation after dinner.

The Blood Demon Order found an ancient lost artifact and prepared to descend to the gods, but was finally stopped by the Castel family; At the end of the Divine Descent Ceremony, the Leglis family, who had betrayed them, woke up and turned against the water, causing them to fall short, etc......

There is truth in the false, and there is truth in the false.

In a word...... Under Charlotte's deliberate push, all the pots were carried by the Blood Demon Order and the Leglis family.

Of course, in a sense, it can't be said that everything is wrong, after all, the Lyglis family really colluded with the Blood Demon Order, after all, the Blood Demon Sect really tried to hold a divine descent, after all, not everyone in the Lyglis family really fell.

The only core difference is probably that the rhythm of Charlotte's fusion idol is also thrown on the head of the Blood Demon Order.

As for whether the future Divine Court's investigation team believes it...... Whether they believe it or not, anyway, the lords of the Northland believe it, and so do the nobles, Charlotte...... Well, I can't believe it anymore.

At the same time, because the official statement given by Castel was that the conspiracy of the Blood Demon Order had been stopped, the people's concern for the "Evil God Descending" quickly passed.

Instead, there is another thing that makes many people curious-

What to do with the reclaimed territories of the Legliss family.

The lords were curious, and the nobles were even more curious.

Not only curious, but there have been many more Northland nobles who have come to Northport to meet Charlotte in recent times......

In short, the meaning is the same, that is, I hope Charlotte can take care of her family and give them a little territory.

As a lord, Charlotte was patient enough to meet them one by one.

In addition to those excessive demands, some relatively reasonable Charlotte also met them.

This is also a territorial claim that she promised in advance, in order to obtain the full support of the nobles.

Viscount Lyglis's territory is vast and sparsely populated, and it is not a problem to take out some unimportant territories for feudalization, and now is not the time to strengthen the centralization of power, and Charlotte does need to exchange some benefits in exchange for the support of the nobles.

No...... In fact, from another point of view, if Charlotte really plans to take the path of becoming a god, it doesn't seem to matter to her whether to strengthen centralized power.

Adapt to the development of the times, take a step by step, now she actually only needs to finally gain the allegiance of the upper and lower levels and establish her own belief system.

Of course, in dividing the Legliss family's territory, Charlotte kept the most critical territories.

For example, the direct territory of the Lyglis family, the port of Lyglis, for example, several fortress castles on the border, such as the richest baronies in the Viscounty of Lyglis......

All of these were under the direct jurisdiction of the Castel family.

And in addition to that, there is the division of the Legliss family in the Castel mines.

Because the territory of the Leglis family is the closest to the mine and has contributed the most in the development of the mine, it has been the highest proportion of income among the three viscount families since ancient times, almost equal to the sum of the shares of other noble families.

The Leglis family was able to adopt 1,500 fully armored hussars as a mere viscount, relying on the income from the mines!

The title was stripped and the territory was recovered, and the Legliss family's right to divide the Castel mines was naturally taken over by Charlotte to the Earl's Court, and there was no intention of dividing it again.

Combined with Charlotte's right to dividends from other rebellious noble families, Castel as a whole has collected nearly one-half of the dividends from the silver mines.

And if you add the remaining share of the Castel family, Charlotte's current dividend to the Castel silver mine has exceeded seventy percent.

In addition, the Castel family has become independent from Boulder, and there is no need to abide by the past contracts, and there is no need to pay the corresponding contract tax to the Duchy of Boulder, even if the taxes of the direct vassals of the kingdom that need to be redefined in the future are added, the income of the Castel family may have to be greatly increased.

Charlotte only asked the tax collector of the Earl's Court to do a preliminary calculation, and came to a conclusion that made her feel a little smacked.

After this external and internal troubles, the Castelle family's income is likely to increase at least four or five times, and the monthly income is probably more than 2 million quintana, which is more than when her father was in power ten years ago!

It can only be said that the Northland is really rich, and the nobles of the Northland are also really rich.

A civil war was fought, but it was Charlotte, the lord, who made the war money......

After seeing the numbers, Charlotte suddenly became interested in centralization again.

No way, it's really fragrant, this is just the repossession of a viscounty and some minor nobles, plus independence from the Boulder family.

Even if the income increased by the recovery of the Castell silver mine is removed, the income that the recovered noble territory can provide to Charlotte alone can reach 500,000 quintana per month.

This is still a tax recorded on the surface.

In fact, the various resources produced in the territory, especially some fragmentary extraordinary resources and strategic resources, are even more valuable.

For example, the Leglis family has a pasture dedicated to raising war horses.

Although the quality of these horses can only be said to be sufficient, far less than the dragon-scale horses of the Grand Duchy of the North, they are also much better than Castre's own ordinary horses.

At the same time, it was also the main source of cavalry horses for the Lyglis family.

Naturally, this pasture was also taken over by Charlotte.

However, although Charlotte's income is more, her expenses will also increase.

Now that Castell's Territory is independent and no longer under the protection of Boulder, Charlotte will definitely build her own extraordinary army next.

In addition, she also plans to invest money to further plan the development of the territory.

Of course, that's for later.

Charlotte first ordered the Earldom Cabinet to discuss these matters and discuss a feasible plan first, intending to wait until she returned from a meeting in the royal capital to finalize the concrete plan.

And after the official transfer of control of the territory of Lyglis, Sebas and Nice also returned.

Returning with them were Jurst, the Earl of Blood who had disguised his identity, and Odosia, the black dragon who had been sealed by Sebas's magic and was still asleep.

However, in addition to a few people, they were accompanied by a group of uninvited guests with very different costumes-

A delegation of emissaries from the Grand Duchy of the North.
