King’s Kingdom - Chapter 271
After opening up this kind of personal dependence, the nobles will definitely try their best to do everything possible to enrich their family strength, but the locals of the Lanyin Kingdom are really difficult to absorb. If they have to recruit locals, the cost will be It will be very large, and it may not be worth the loss.
In this case, the nobles will naturally find ways to find ways from other regions. Whether it is to buy or abduct, they are essentially increasing the strength of the Lanyin Kingdom.
Don’t look at these people who form an attachment relationship with the nobles and do not pay taxes directly to the kingdom, but their lords will pay taxes to the royal family!
The aristocrats in various places have increased their income, and the tax that the country can get will also increase a lot.
Don’t underestimate the immigration numbers these nobles can bring.
There are quite a few nobles in the entire Lanyin Kingdom. There are thirteen earls alone, which is three hundred and twenty-five households and seventy-five barons. Each baron family can have fifteen families, adding up to one. There are 1,125 families, and there are more than 500 knights and families with knight titles in the entire Rhine Kingdom at this stage.
Each knight family can have five households as vassals, that is, a total of more than 2,500 households, which adds up to the number of people in the early 4,000 households. According to conservative estimates, even if each household has only three members, that is one Thousands of people.
Besides, there are definitely more than three people in a family in this world. Will these nobles spend the precious quota of a family to recruit only three people? Of course, the more people the better!
At that time, maybe 20,000 to 30,000 people will be acquired. Although this may not seem like much, it will be a supplement to the strength of the country in any case, and as these people make contributions, the number of households can also grow together. That is to say, this way of population growth is sustainable, not one-time.
And in addition to population growth, this system, from a certain perspective, will also promote the desire for expansion of the nobles.
After all, these people hope that the number of households in the food town can increase. If they want to increase the number of households, they must make merits. How can they make merits?
Without a doubt, war!
Only expansion! Only by expanding can you bring more benefits to yourself. Only by expanding can you have more land. Only by expanding can you have the opportunity to make achievements and increase food towns. As long as there is a war, as long as you expand, you will get greater benefits. !
The nobles of the former Rhine Kingdom were keen on war, but if this system is implemented successfully enough, their desire for expansion and war will be fanatical.
Therefore, in order to eliminate internal dissatisfaction and possible contradictions, and to increase the morale and tenacity of the army, the implementation of this law is necessary.
The knights who were present cheered again after hearing the news announced by Theodosius. This time it was not a happy family, and all the knights joined the sea of joy.
Everyone gets what they want. The landless knights have a future and land on the battlefield. Those who fail to become knights have a great chance to become officials. Also have the title of knight.
Also within the range of those five households, perhaps the probability of their number of households growing is much smaller than on the battlefield, but it is better than life stability.
As long as monsters invade from time to time, and the war with the south is completely defeated, there is basically no risk. There is no need to be born and die like on the battlefield, and I don’t know when the brains will be hammered out.
High risk and high reward, low risk and low reward, this is a very balanced point in the Kingdom of Lanyin. They bear hardships and stand hard work, and risk their lives to fight on the battlefield. Once they are on the march, they have to travel long distances for several months. Do hard training.
They work as hard as anyone else, and they are the most at risk, so their treatment, salary and benefits are the highest.
In addition to the soldiers, other grooms, blacksmiths and the like also enjoy extremely high treatment. In the Lanyin Kingdom, this is absolutely politically correct.
This news was not only spread in the training ground. After the selection of knights was over, and Theodosius brought Critidos back to the palace, the news spread throughout the entire New Rhine city in a very short time. , and it spreads all around like wings. In less than a month, the news spread throughout the entire Lanyin Kingdom.
For a time, the words “Long live the king” and “The king is wise” were heard in the entire Lanine Kingdom. This group of nobles touted a person to be skillful, and the reputation of Theodosius gained once again. promote
When the law changed from gossip to a legal document with the seal of the Orteban royal family and the king’s signature, and sent it to the desks of the nobles, the voice of touting the king became even louder. Can’t hear any noise.
Theodosius was not overwhelmed by these compliments. It was true that this law further strengthened his position and eased the contradictions, but if he thought he was the king of destiny and took everything for granted, That’s not far from failure.
The reason why he regards these nobles as the biggest and most staunch supporters and fundamentals is very simple, in addition to some kinship between the two parties, the main thing is that the interests of both parties are the same.
These nobles can stabilize their rule. They are the most noble in their blood, and belong to the top players within the rules of the game. He must maintain the rules of the game.
The reason why the nobles support him is also the same ~ www.mtlnovel.com~ With a king, he can maintain his noble status without worrying about being replaced by someone, and he can get bigger and more benefits.
If that day comes, the two sides will stand on opposite sides, then someone will be surprised to find out that the speed of turning between the two can be so fast.
Of course, at this stage, the probability of the two opposing each other is still quite small, so small that it can be ignored.
Because the current productive forces and production relations do not actually allow more openness of minds, the Enlightenment and the Renaissance are still early, and because the existence of various gods has also prevented the emergence of true philosophers, there is no materialism here. soil.
Although the magic power has almost dissipated, but most of the magic is still working, that is, the effect is close to nothing.
But no matter what, the world is still full of idealism, and even medicine has not been able to form a real discipline, and there is no real doctor.
Medicine is just a small branch of the herbal medicine of witchcraft and warlocks. Usually, a wizard who is inclined to treatment can be called a doctor… In fact, the direct translation of the term doctor in the Dragon Land is Herbal wizards, not “doctors”.
