"What? You mean my daughter she escaped from the castle? In Rizland, the Duke of Rizland was furious, but his heir, Frederick, did not dare to refute a word, and let his father blame him.

In fact, Frederick was also very frightened, he never expected that his bold sister would dare to leave Ritzlandburg secretly, and leave without even alarming anyone.

"What if something happens to my daughter, it's not the paradise I built for her!" Duke Rizlan held his head with a painful face, no one knows better than him how dangerous the outside world is, and Natalie is a little girl who has never seen the world and runs out alone, what will happen is impossible to predict, but one thing is certain, that is, the word safety has nothing to do with her.

"My sister, you have a great problem for me...... Sir Frederick also regretted in his heart, he was no less doting on his sister than his father.

"How did she leave?"

Natalie cut all her mattresses and turned them into strips of cloth, tied them up to make a long and strong enough rope, and left through the window.

"Then no one can see it!"

"I heard from her maid that Natalie had broken them all apart at that time, and they didn't dare to disobey Natalie's orders, and then I found her costume in Natalie's room, and she should have changed into her maid's clothes, so that no one was suspected." Frederick smiled bitterly, his sister's plan was perfect.

Duke Rizlan took a deep breath, Natalie would rarely be allowed to leave, naturally not many people had seen her face, if she changed into a maid's clothes, it was indeed very likely to leave.

"Natalie left with a lot of money and might be able to help her." Seeing that something was wrong with Duke Rizland's dark color, Frederick hurriedly said.

"Now, immediately, immediately, I command you to go and get your sister back, and if you can't do that, then don't come back either! Money? Ha, God, bringing money will not help her, nor will it make her safer, those hyenas-like pariahs will kill her for her money! The Duke of Rizlan roared, his whole body was like an angry lion that made people frightened, and the green tendons on his arms bulged, and it was obvious that he was very excited.

"I understand my father, I will definitely get my sister back, don't worry." Frederick nodded vigorously and left the castle.

"Natalie, Natalie, my little princess, why did you leave like this, the outside world is really dangerous, if something happens to you, what do you let me do, isn't it enough that I often tell you stories outside......"

"God, your pious servant beseeches Natalie to bless her safely with me."

Duke Rizlan sat slumped on his lord's throne, his mouth full of broken thoughts, his eyes full of remorse.

If he had known that something like this was going to happen, he would definitely send an army to protect Natalie and take her out to see what she had to do with the outside.

"Where the hell has Natalie gone......" Duke Rizlan pondered, analyzing every possibility in his mind.

Suddenly, Duke Rizlan looked stunned, as if he remembered something, he had told Natalie about a man named ...... Carl, yes, a nobleman named Carl, Natalie looked fascinated.

Yes, it was fascination, and although it was only a fleeting moment, the Duke of Rizlan was sure that he was not mistaken.

"Isn't it ...... Should it be ......" Duke Rizland's eyes gradually dilated, and his lips trembled.

God, where is Cal Dias's territory? Sylde Manor, that's the territory of the Siphroes!

"Quick, come on, go after Frederick at once, tell him, at Sylde Manor!"

The Duke of Rizland's roar sent shivers down the squires of Rizlandburg......

……

Winter is always difficult, and in the past, every winter would take a lot of people's lives, maybe because of the cold, but more often because there was no food to starve to death in the cold.

But this year is different, this year's Sild Manor everyone has a happy look on their faces, and Karl has canceled some strange taxes because of the winter, so that they have enough food for the winter, which was simply unimaginable before.

Karl knew that talent was the most precious resource, and although these pariahs were not worth mentioning in the eyes of other nobles, their natural mission was to be exploited and create benefits for the nobles, but no one would deny that if the peasants in his domain died too much, they were likely to go bankrupt.

In fact, Karl abolished some of the miscellaneous taxes, but his taxes were no less than in previous years, because the wasteland and various measures that had been cleared in the previous year had increased the grain production, and naturally the taxes he received had also increased.

And this is just the beginning, and when the business side is well developed, and then the various agricultural plans are completed, the income can increase a lot.

But there was one thing that gave him a bit of a headache, and he neglected one thing, although he was rich, it was difficult for him to have enough iron as before.

There is no iron ore here, so you can only buy it, and iron is a rarity and is in high demand, after all, the nobles need a lot of iron to forge weapons to maintain their so-called honor.

As a result, iron is extremely expensive, and sometimes even unavailable, and the iron that can be supplied can only partially meet the demand.

For this reason, Karl had to temporarily stop trading the idea of using swords as a specialty, and everything was mainly based on giving priority to providing his own army.

When he thought that he had sworn that he would provide Alan with enough iron, his face turned red, and he really didn't expect that iron could be so scarce.

Karl's approach was very problematic to the merchants, because they found that these swords were indeed very marketable, and they took them out to trade, and made much more money than others, so they strongly hoped that Karl would provide more of these special swords, or provide the technology to make them.

Karl directly refused the offer of technology, just kidding, how could this kind of thing be casually provided to others, he, Karl is not such a big injustice, as for providing enough swords? I'm sorry, but unless you can sell us some iron for a low price, everything will have to be postponed.

The merchants had no better way, they couldn't grab it directly, so they had to wait until there were more of these special swords.

"Lord Karl." Konstantin's voice interrupted Karl's thoughts on the iron question.

"What's wrong?" Karl asked casually, but the next moment he saw the code that Constantine was holding the code he had given, and he already understood something.

"Is there anything you need to add?"

"Yes, sir." Konstantin nodded, he often came to Karl during this time, and with the official implementation of the code, many things had a basis, much more reliable than the previous kind of relying on habits to judge things.

But after all, the code is still very young, and Constantine will always encounter some difficult things that cannot be dealt with without corresponding explanations, and sometimes there will be some unreasonable judgments.

"Where is it?"

"Here, my lord." Konstantin opened the code and pointed to a provision.

"Lord Karl, here, we have strange laws for slaves......"

Konstantin described the troubles he had encountered today in very succinct terms, as if he had spared words like gold.

To put it simply, there are loopholes in their question about slaves, after all, when Carl compiled the code, he did it according to the memories of his previous life, where did the slaves come from at that time, most of the countries in the world have abolished slavery, how could he have this knowledge, so there is no way, he has to substitute the methods of other nobles to treat slaves.

But there was a problem in this way, first of all, because the Selder Manor bought a large number of slaves under Karl's order to supplement the population, so the slaves accounted for a large proportion of the Selder Manor, and there were naturally many disputes in such a large number, and Karl did not have the relevant laws to resolve these disputes.

Of course, if this is placed in other territories, it will not be a problem, and when it is too troublesome, those judges and nobles will directly let the slaves die, anyway, in their opinion, these lowly guys are afraid that they don't even deserve air.

"Hmm......" Karl thought to himself, this is indeed a serious problem, and if it is not handled well, it may cause some instability in Sylde Manor.

Karl didn't think slaves were useless, and when the population was sufficient, he picked out strong, nimble lads from among these slaves to form an army, and formed another 100-man regiment of him, named the Thorns Legion, with Thorns as a banner to symbolize his birth in Black Thorn Village, and let Kevin be the commander of this legion.

The reason why slaves are used is because these slaves are all guys who have despaired of life, let them become soldiers, not only give them hope, but also have the opportunity to make a career out of slavery, as long as the training is in place, food and everything is replenished, they can exert much stronger power than ordinary people, they will work hard.

"We need to rewrite a law about slaves that doesn't conflict with our previous laws." Karl groaned.

Konstantin nodded, and in the dark night, the two people by the candlelight said a word, and from time to time they stopped writing.

The next day, a new law was posted on a notice board and read and explained by a literate man, and it was written "A Solution to the Slave Question......
