King’s Kingdom - Chapter 281

The three main stripes of this Rhineland succession law established that land and property could only be circulated and inherited within the Rhineland.

In addition, it is also implicitly stated that even if the foreign noble died unexpectedly, his father could not obtain the land ownership of the Lanyin Kingdom through the inheritance of his brothers, if he was unwilling to give up the land in his hometown.

But Theodosius knew that there are many loopholes that can be drilled if things like inheritance are not regulated. Therefore, there is a second rule. Foreign heirs do not have the right to inherit land from other countries. Inheritance to the land of the Lanin Kingdom is a stipulation.

Because if this restriction is not set, the father does not inherit the land and property, then who is the next closest inheritance relationship? That’s his siblings.

If his father designates his eldest son or heir to inherit the land in the Lanin Kingdom, then when the father in the family dies, the land will naturally fall into the hands of the eldest son, so that the land and property of the Lanin Kingdom will still be in the hands of the eldest son. outflow.

This is not tolerated by Theodosius and all the nobles of the Rhine Kingdom. The second rule means that if a knight has no children after his death, his apprentices and property can only come from his brothers who have no right to inherit the land in his hometown. inherit.

This kind of regulation did not arouse disgust. Originally, they were the second sons who could not get the land at home. Naturally, they did not want their hard-earned property to be transferred back. It would be a good choice to give hope to other brothers who do not have the right to inherit. .

Moreover, he would not necessarily be killed on the battlefield, even if he was killed, maybe he would have married and had children before that.

The legislative turmoil in the Lanyin Kingdom passed quickly, and since the second wave of anti-criminal operations was over, the law and order has been greatly improved again. Although many foreign businessmen were arrested last time, businessmen are always looking for profits. Yes, as long as there is enough profit they are not afraid of death.

And even if you don’t do business that violates the laws of the Lanyin Kingdom, this place still has a lot of profit. Compared with the recent turbulent situation in the Northern Empire and the sluggish market, the Lanyin Kingdom is obviously a good place to do business.

At least it is not like the Northern Empire, where the noble lords have the right to collect tariffs. In addition to the transaction tax, they only need to pay the tariff once when they enter the territory of the Rhine Kingdom.

Therefore, due to the activities of the merchants, the business activities of the Rhine Kingdom are more frequent than before, and even the transaction tax drawn out has increased by 10%.

Theodosius was not worried that the arrival of the merchants would affect the war against the Northern Empire. Although he also had some thoughts of keeping it secret, he himself knew that it was impossible to conceal such a large-scale material transfer, even if it was the Northern Empire. No matter how stupid the nobles of the Empire and Tumbadri were, it was impossible for them to be unaware of this.

Small-scale wars may also make surprise attacks, but large-scale wars cannot do sudden surprise attacks.

Time passed quickly, and on April 2, 869 in the Hircatic calendar, Theodosius’ birthday, another piece of good news fell on his head.

That is, Connatis also followed in the footsteps of Critidos and became pregnant.

This news immediately filled Theodosius with joy. As a ruler, of course, the more heirs, the better. At the same time, it also dispelled the confusion in his heart. During the three years of marriage with Critidos, the number of times they had been in the same room was even greater. Not a lot at all. With Hercules, strong, and prolific, he should have a strong fertility, but it took three years for Critidos to get pregnant and let him have a sense of his fertility. Doubt.

It’s only been less than three months since he and Connatis got married, and he was diagnosed with pregnancy, which finally dispelled his doubts. After thinking about it, he felt that it was Critidos and his physique that were too strong, especially It’s Critidos, her strong physical fitness makes her ability to screen cells much stronger than ordinary women, perhaps this is the reason why she has not been able to get pregnant for a long time. (In this book, it is set that the more physical characteristics of both parties, the more difficult it is to get pregnant, and the weaker the woman is, the easier it is to get pregnant, removing the fertility bonus of Hercules)

This news directly added joy to this day of national celebration, but unfortunately the second son’s status is far less than the eldest son, so her conception did not attract more attention.

In the banquet hall of New Lanyin City, more than 30 elves, more than 80 dwarves, and more than 700 nobles gathered here to participate in this grand banquet.

In addition to the banquet hall, the rest of the smaller banquet halls are the stage for children of noble families and noble ladies. Although the scale of New Lanyin City is much larger than that of the old capital in the north, But it still can’t accommodate so many nobles and their families.

Of course, if there are no knights from other regions, this banquet hall is barely enough, but after their arrival, the group of nobles in the entire country has doubled directly. Although most of them are people who have not been able to get married, they are still It filled the entire banquet hall.

Critidos was sitting on Theodosius’ right hand, and her belly finally became bigger, and it could be seen that she was a pregnant woman.

Connatis sat on the left of Theodosius with a dignified expression, but did not move the food in front of him.

Although the elf’s wealth is indeed exquisite and delicious, it is not enough to make her look down on the food of the Lanyin Kingdom. Perhaps because of her pregnancy, she does not have a good appetite now.

This is completely different from Kritidosi. After this woman became pregnant, her appetite increased greatly. Not only did she never experience morning sickness, but she ate more than before, and her appetite was two-thirds larger.

Fortunately, she also came from a famous family, and her aristocratic education is quite in place, so although she has a more forthright personality~www.mtlnovel.com~, she is not the kind of person who does not have good looks.

Although she was dissatisfied with her eating, she did not look rude. The ten-minute speech of Theodosius just now made her suffer for a long time.

Theodosius looked left and right, leaned his body to Connatis’s side and said, “What’s the matter? Is it unpalatable?”

“No… I just feel… a little uncomfortable…”

“Then I’ll ask the witches to diagnose it for you. What’s wrong with you?”

“No need… Elves are like this…”

“It’s true, after the disappearance of magic elements, it becomes more and more difficult for elves to get pregnant. Without the supplement of magic elements, the fetus can only absorb nutrients from the mother’s body to supplement itself. Elves faced such a situation as early as a thousand years ago. !”

“Don’t worry… Fortunately, this child has half human blood, otherwise it would definitely be more uncomfortable than now!” Connatis wrinkled his nose and squeezed a smile at Theodosius. Although she was not feeling well, she still felt I hope that her lover can feel at ease. During her time in the Lanyin Kingdom, under the influence of Critidos and the reasons for her good mood, her personality has begun to recover in a cheerful direction.
