"How's the work at the immigration point, my palace minister? I don't want my territory to be empty, or all Flo. ”

Karl drank the wine in his glass and looked at his wrench, which was golden, if Carl used to say that it was cheesy, but now he only found it pleasing to the eye.

"My honorable earl, after all, we have not been in this territory for a long time, and even your knighthood ceremony has not yet been held, the matter of immigration is really urgent, of course, after our efforts, more than three hundred people have been willing to immigrate into Dortmund during this time, although most of them are old and young women and children......" Brother Derian sighed, he became Karl's palace minister as he wished, but suddenly found that there were many things to do as palace minister......

"Old and young women and children are old and young, it's nothing, we need all the population to replenish my territory now, and we also need to hurry up the construction of their settlements, there are more old and weak women and children, they will naturally bring young and middle-aged people." Karl admonished.

"As you wish, Lord Earl." Brother Derian nodded.

"What's going on in the dungeon, I've heard that there have been a lot of people lately." Carl asked again.

"You should ask your judge, His Excellency Constantine, for he is still in charge of the dungeon." Brother Derian shrugged his shoulders, which was not his responsibility.

"So Konstantin, can you tell me about it?" Karl looked at Konstantin, since his area of responsibility had changed from Syld Manor to Dortmund, his workload had suddenly increased dramatically, even if he was equipped with ten helpers, but fortunately he had also trained a few useful guys, such as one of them who stayed in Selde Manor to take over his work.

"Lord Earl, your spy manager has gone too far, she has turned our realm into a county under the Reign of Terror, and the number of Flo who have been captured for some inappropriate words or trivial matters is innumerable, and there are not many Dillmans." Konstantin complained.

"Haha, Reign of Terror? Konstantin, you're right, it's the Reign of Terror, why should I stop Teresa? Of course, this kind of thing is not suitable for long-term work, but now it is necessary, the number of Flo in this territory is innumerable, although we are constantly immigrating to the Dillman in the country, but the border territory is limited in attraction after all, and the Flo people are still the main one in a short time, Konstantin, I have always believed in such a sentence, that is, if it is not my race, its heart will be different! And now we have to maintain our rule with such a high-handed policy. ”

Carl didn't care, Teresa could expand the man in black so wildly, and do such a thing, his acquiescence was impossible to do.

Konstantin was dumbfounded by Karl's words, but after thinking about what Karl said, it seemed to have some truth, so he had to sigh.

"Well, Lord Earl, maybe you're right, but we can't do anything if we continue to add dungeons like this." Konstantin spread his hands, although he was a prisoner, but it was also to consume food, and Berg was already worried about it.

"Let me think about it...... Woo, turn them all into slaves, become slaves that belong to me. Carl touched his beard, which had become thick, and in just a few years, the young man who was originally handsome had become like this.

"Your slave?"

"Or the slaves of the official family, let them build roads, that is our most important project." Carl waved his hand.

"Well, as you wish." Konstantin nodded, he had already seen the benefits of the road in Sylde Manor, so naturally he would not have any objections in this regard, and if he wanted to build a road, it was manual work, if he let the Dillman people do it, it would not be impossible, but it was easy for them to complain, and the best way was to take those Flo people.

As a judge, he was indeed fair, but at the same time as he was sitting on the judge, he was also a Dilman nobleman and did not have the slightest affection for the Flo.

"Brother Derian, I hope to have a competitive tournament." Karl said suddenly.

Brother Derian had long since become accustomed to the idea of his own monarch, but he still let the idea flutter.

"Athletic tournaments? Lord Earl, why do you suddenly want to host this? Brother Derian asked, puzzled.

"Brother Derian, my courtier, what do you think I lack as a border count now?" Carl asked.

Brother Derian suddenly realized that the most important thing for a border boy is military strength, and the most important military force in this era is knights, and those who are knights in heavy armor are pillboxes that crush the battlefield.

Counting the Knights of St. John and his courtiers, Karl has thirty-six knights, which is enough or even a strong strength for a knight or even a baron, but for a side uncle, it is far from enough, not to mention that the Knights of St. John will not fight for Karl, they will only fight to protect his territory, which makes Carl always have a mustard in his heart.

Although Karl still had some armor in stock, and he could arm some heavy cavalry knights and medium cavalry squires, it was really not enough.

"You want to attract knights to our realm through competitive tournaments?"

"Of course, competitive tournaments are the most attractive for those wandering knights." Wandering knights are all over the territory of the Dillmans, not only the Dillmans, but also the Kairol region and the Reze region, the wandering knights will participate in one competitive tournament after another, and if they win, then they will be crowned with the honor of champion knights, which can become their capital, and may be valued by a certain nobleman and recruited to their command.

Carl is also an earl now, a middle-class nobleman, qualified to hold competitive tournaments, and this will be an excellent way to increase his prestige, which is also extremely lacking in Carl at present.

"Of course, if you want to, you can do run a competitive tournament, but it's going to be a big challenge for our finances." Brother Derian was a little worried.

"There may be some financial constraints, but it's not yet a crisis, and if that happens, Berg will come to me, and I will be able to solve it." Karl was not worried, although he rarely asked about the financial situation, but it would be a big mistake to think that he did not know the financial situation of his domain, after his reform and planning, the annual tax revenue provided by Sylde Manor was a good income, plus the capture of Dortmund Castle, the loot was rich enough for him to last for a while.

"However, I suggest that you wait until after the knighthood ceremony to compete in the competition, and now you can publicize it to the country first." Brother Derian suggested.

"Reason."

Karl is such a person, concise and to the point, since the courtiers make suggestions, then give reasons.

"Please forgive me for being rude."

"Say!" Karl waved his hand, and Brother Derian had restrained a lot since he became the palace minister.

"Although you have now claimed your title to others, you have not yet completed the knighthood ceremony, which is a great deal of influence on your prestige, and for this reason there are still many nobles in the country who have not heard of your heroic deeds, although the number of bards is rapidly decreasing. The wandering knights are arrogant, they pay attention to the glory and the process, they will most likely think that you are not a real earl, and they will not be so happy if you canonize them at this time, and all this will not exist as long as you have completed the knighthood ceremony. Brother Derian explained.

"Uh......h What you said makes a lot of sense, so let's put it after the knighthood ceremony, and the time is about the same. Karl accepted the suggestion, and completing the knighthood ceremony would indeed greatly enhance the prestige of him and the Dias family.

"Have the nobles been invited and answered?" Karl asked solemnly, after all, it was about the stability of his rule and the glory of his family.

"Of course, Lord Earl, I have received a promise from the nobles that they will basically come, and Lord Duke will even have an archbishop to knight you!"

"Archbishop?" Karl was taken aback, and the mention of the archbishop was all amazing, an archbishop duke was courteous when he came, and now he would let an archbishop go all the way to knight him.

"Thank you, Lord Duke." Karl had to say this, which was enough to prove that the Duke of Rizland valued him, of course, I don't know what kind of role Sir Frederick and Natalie played, and how useful they were.

"What about my father and brother?" Carl asked again, he would have preferred to see them coming, though he knew it was for sure.

The ancients did not return to their hometowns, just like brocade clothes walking at night, and now he finally feels this mood.

"Please rest assured that Baron Dias takes your investiture ceremony very seriously." Karl's question was like nonsense, but Brother Derian answered it seriously.

"Well, since that's the case, I'm relieved about the knighthood ceremony." Karl waved his hand and ended the day's meeting of courtiers.

Leaving the castle, Brother Derian didn't have time to rest, although he decided to hold a competitive tournament after the knighthood ceremony, but it was time to prepare, fortunately, Dortmund Castle, as a long-standing territory, has been repaired by many lords, and has a large enough arena that can be used directly, in the Flo tradition, dueling is a normal thing, so this arena is not deserted.

But even so, there are still many things that need to be modified, at least the statues that symbolize the gods of the Shilaum religion must be changed, and the traces of the Flo people must also be modified, otherwise Karl will be criticized.
