Section 166 Land and Wealth
"The silver can be divided equally, but what should I do with the land?" Earl Weimar asked Duke Eble. When he proposed it, everyone else was focused. There was nothing more precious than land in the farming era. You should know that almost all social resources were grown from the land. The crops grown in the land can support the army, and the hemp produced can become warm linens. Therefore, powerful nobles all own a large amount of land, not to mention that most of the Bohemian land is suitable for grasslands for raising horses and sheep, and animal husbandry can also bring rich profits to the nobles.
"If the land is divided equally, it is indeed not enough." Earl Thuringian thought for a while and said.
"I give up the land, that's enough." Aruod turned his face and said to the other earls.
"Oh, really?" Even Duke Ebul was surprised when he heard that Aruod gave up the land.
"Yes, but as a corresponding compensation, I want those eight hundred Bohemian slaves, and half of the horses seized this time." The reason why Arud didn't want those lands was because he knew that it would be difficult for the Bohemians who had not yet been converted to Catholicism to completely rule within a year or two, and Arud vaguely remembered that most of the Eastern nomadic peoples would enter from this direction, so they were close to Eastern Europe.
No matter how good the land is, it cannot be taken. On the contrary, the development of Mecklenburg County urgently needs manpower. At the same time, in the war with the Bohemia, Arod keenly noticed the power of the cavalry. Although he defeated the Duke of Bohemia and his army, it was because he used thousands of years of knowledge beyond this era, and even so, he faced the brink of failure several times, so the horses from the Central European grasslands must be in his own hands.
"Is this enough?" Duke Eble looked at Arod suspiciously. Although he knew that Arod, known as a wise man, would definitely not do things that harm his interests, he really couldn't figure out why Arod chose those Bohemian slaves compared to the precious land. Where can he buy slaves?
"Yes." Aruod nodded affirmatively, and suddenly his shoulder was slapped hard, almost slapped him off his seat. When he saw that he was a smirk of Earl Weimar.
"It is worthy of being the Prime Minister of the Palace." It seems that the Earl of Weimar thought that Arod made this difficult decision because he considered their alliance. This is the only reason that Arod gave up his precious land.
Under the auspices of the Duke of Ebul, the distribution of the ransom and spoils of Bohemia was completed. At this time, it was already dark. The servants lit all the candles on the chandeliers hanging from the roof. Duke Ebul and the vassals and other courtiers held a dinner party in the hall of the lords. The vassals gained a lot of money in this battle. Not only did they divide the bohemia with Arod, but they also obtained money and land from Duke Ebul, and they made a fortune. Therefore, the atmosphere in the banquet was very lively, but one person had a gloomy face at this time, that was the Earl Lauzits, who had the greatest loss.
When the banquet in Mason Castle was held, a banquet was also held in the Earl of Lauzits' estate, but compared with the banquet in Mason Castle, it was even more chaotic. More than sixty Vikings filled the banquet hall, and the smelly smell on them made it look like a cafeteria. These Vikings spoke rude language that no one understood, and touched the chefs who conveyed food to them.
"Captain, are you going to set out tomorrow?" The Viking warrior sitting with Kraze Val, the group of Viking leaders, placed his sword on the wooden table, and held a fat maid with one hand and pressed it on his thigh.
"I will set out tomorrow. I will go back to my hometown to tell the commander and convince him to lead the people in my hometown to attack Mecklenburg County." Kraze picked up his wine glass and took a sip of it like a cow, then handed his glass to a maid holding a wine pot standing next to him. When a drunk Viking approached and attempted to touch the maid, Kraze knocked him out without saying a word with his huge fist.
"Haha, but although we are hired by this Earl of Lauziz, is it necessary to obey him?" Looking at Craze's slammed into a slut, the person who spoke to Craze did not care. Only fists could convince these rude people.
"No, through the observations over the past few days, I found that internal strife was happening among the Germans. This is good news for us. Although it is spring now, our barren land will definitely fail to harvest. Only by taking this opportunity to start the invasion again can we and our people have a chance to survive. This is the will of God Odin." Kraze said indifferently.
"Does the invasion be restarted? But there is almost nothing to rob in the Slavs' territory, some of which are poorer than us." Claze's companion shook his head and said disrespectfully.
"I will go over and see. Count Lauziz promised someone to send me to Mecklenburg County and then cross the sea from where to go back." Claze was definitely not a fool. He did not believe in other people's sweet words, but believed in what he had seen with his own eyes.
"Ah, you stinky woman." Suddenly, a scream rang out in the hall, which made the Vikings in the hall stand up nervously. Many people had already grabbed their weapons in their hands. The hall, which was just noisy, quieted down. Their tough bodies and fierce eyes could make any warrior tremble.
When they saw clearly what was going on, they couldn't help but burst into laughter. A Viking grabbed the back of his hand, and blood flowed down from the back of his hand and dripped on the ground. A small knife was inserted into the back of his hand. The knife that was originally a flesh-cutting knife was just why it was inserted into the back of his hand.
"What's going on?" Claze stood up and said loudly, his voice echoing in the hall, and everyone looked at his leader.
"This idiot wanted to have fun with some little girl, but he was bitten back, haha." At this time, someone who knew the situation said to Claze. After that, Claze looked there curiously, and saw a tall maid standing in front of him.
