Section 190 Land Use Rights
"Crack~~~.()" The crossbow on the tower shot stones at the Vikings. These pebbles were easy to obtain. They stored several barrels on the tower, but the lethality was enough for those Vikings to suffer. Once they hit the head or vital part, they could kill people. Raindrop-like pebbles hit the ground or hit the shield to make a crackling sound.
"Shield Wall." Kraze ordered loudly. He held his shield high and avoided a pebbles, but these stones would never stop him. The Vikings who heard the order gathered together and built a shield wall with the wooden shield in their hands, slowly approaching the tower. Occasionally, someone was hit on the legs by pebbles and knelt on the ground with a scream, but his gap was immediately filled by the people behind him with a shield.
"I am worthy of being a Nordic berserker. Isn't it afraid of this? Haven't the wolf smoke rise yet?" Andrew's eyes involuntarily narrowed. He didn't expect that the Vikings could still move forward under such a blow. Although the iron crossbow arrows are powerful, they only have a few ten, and of course there are no pebbles to use generously.
"It's almost done." He plucked his cheeks and blew a hand stove made of clay pots, which contained hay and dry wolf dung. The soldier who was blowing the fire inside was sweating profusely. Finally, with his efforts, the wolf smoke rose up and rose straight into the sky.
In the fields several miles away from the port, a patrol cavalry was watching the black smoke above the port. In the past, he had been patrolling here according to the orders to see if there were any wolf smoke rising from the port, but every day was spent very peacefully. He thought this order was just a boring joke, but now he saw the wolf smoke rising, he believed that there was really an enemy attacking the port.
"Take it~~~." The patrol cavalry quickly turned the horse's head, clamped the horse's abdomen with both legs, and ran towards Mecklenburg County like arrows.
Arod, in Mecklenburg Castle, soon received the news. He was sitting on his lord's throne and receiving petitions from the countryside. The newly immigrant nobles had a wealthy family. They petitioned Arod to obtain a piece of land to settle in Mecklenburg County, in order to repay Arod's gift. The gentry and nobles promised that when Arod needed to fight, they would purchase heavy equipment and gather them to fight under Arod's banner.
"If you want to obtain land, you can only obtain the right to use the land, and register with my palace monk Elvit, you will get a contract that is once every seven years." Aruod would never give the precious land to these noble gentry at one time. He imitated some practices of the later Celestial Empire and separated the right to use land and possession. Of course, the nobles of Europa were very confused, and these two things in their minds were one.
"The right to use?" The gentry and nobles who heard this order scratched their heads. He didn't understand that the right to use is the right to ownership?
"Yes. During this period you must be loyal to me, serve me, and fulfill feudal obligations, and I will guarantee that you will not be disturbed during these seven years of land use and that you can continue to renew for seven years after the contract expires. But if you violate your obligations, then after seven years I will confiscate the land." Arod simply explained to these squire and nobles wearing Germanic robes.
"I understand the noble Count." The squire and noble nodded after hearing this. As long as they obey Arod and others, they could retain their own land. Although it was a little troublesome to sign a contract, it was accepted by them just like the swearing allegiance to the lord every year, and the contract formed in writing can effectively guarantee their rights.
"Well, then you must raise more horses in your own estate. If you don't want to serve in the military, you can pay me at least three healthy war horses every year as a fee for exemption from military service." Arod said to these gentry and nobles. Arod knew that his financial resources were currently limited. Although he could develop the earl stable as a facility for training cavalry, if these rich immigrants mobilized the noble gentry to raise horses, he would soon gather a cavalry unit.
"Oh, is it okay to raise horses?" The gentry and nobles actually don't like fighting. War means death. No one wants to lose their family members in the war for others. However, in order to obtain the land of the lord, they have to promise. Now Aruod actually told them that they only need to pay a few horses a year to avoid military service. This news is simply wonderful.
"That's right, uh, me~~~." Arod was about to say that he just needed to hand over the war horses to the earl's stables, and they could work and live peacefully with their families in the manors and fields. The lower-class nobles were not all ambitious and ambitious, most of them just needed a manor and land to support their families.
But at this moment, the door of Mecklenburg Hall was opened and a heavy creak sound was made. This sound interrupted what Arod wanted to say. A patrol cavalry rushed in. As soon as he entered the lord's hall, he knelt down on one knee to Arod, and then approached Arod and said in his ear what happened in the port. The smoke of crisis rose into the sky.
"Great gentlemen, today's reception ends here. You can find my palace minister, Monk Elvit, for the rest." Aruod waved at the petitioners. The gentry and nobles quickly pressed their hands on their chests, bent down and retreated away from the lord's hall. Although they could see that the matter must be related to the patrol cavalry who broke in, no one could guess what had happened, so they had to bury their questions in their hearts.
"So the Vikings finally started attacking the port?" Arod gently rubbed his hands. Since the smoke rose up, it means that the bunker had worked. Perhaps they are fighting fiercely with the Vikings and urgently need reinforcements from Mecklenburg to support him.
"I saw the wolf smoke rising, so I came back and reported immediately." The cavalry patrolling the territory took a step back and said to Aruod.
"Yeah." Aruod stood up and held the armrest of his heavy lord's seat. He wondered whether he would wait for the Vikings to attack when they were almost consumed under the bunker, or immediately summoned the army to launch a fatal blow to the Vikings.
"Sir, what should we do?" Ron, the knight of the inner palace who was serving on the side, asked Arod curiously in contemplation.
"Appoint John Berg to gather the German mercenaries on holiday, and the Prince Ward guard who was in training also came from the Rage Lion Castle." Arod immediately ordered Ron that Prince Ward guard was a unit captured in the last war with the Slavs. Because Arod was not satisfied with their loyalty, he placed him in the Rage Lion Castle for brainwashing. In the military academy in the Rage Lion Castle, the monks in every day told them Catholic teachings and Arod's greatness.
When the lie is told a thousand times, it will become true. Most of the soldiers of Prince Ward's guard are rude men who only know how to dance with swords and guns. They are easy to accept new ideas. Not long after, most of the soldiers of Prince Ward's guard have converted to Catholicism sincerely and believe that Arod is a great monarch. Of course, the food that almost made them grow fat and the generous treatment of the German mercenaries I saw has to move them. The monarch who used to be loyal is gone, and now the monarch who can bring them glory, interests and hope. What reason is there to disobey?
Arod's order was immediately executed meticulously, but the German mercenaries during the holiday were scattered in every corner of the territory. Many of them left behind the addresses of chaotic people. In fact, they cannot be blamed. The people in the Middle Ages lived a small life. Maybe he said that Hei Shui Village was possible when others called Baishui Village. Anyway, as long as the acquaintances in their village understood, it brought difficulties to the registration of soldiers. Therefore, they had to send cavalry to search for those scattered soldiers in the territory, and announced this order from village to village, which also led to the slow speed of summoning soldiers.
