People in the Middle Ages, draw cards to get promoted

Chapter 201 "Recruiting" Talents
In the mansion that once belonged to Zayn and is now called Habsburg.

Lothar was holding a wine glass, sipping the chilled wine.

Unlike Jeanna, he doesn't like the smell of alcohol no matter in his past or present life.

This low-alcohol fermented grape juice suits his taste.

Hans raised the beaded curtain and sat down at a table burning with incense.

"solved?"

"Well, Hadi, whom you named and requested to be arrested, has already been sent to prison by me."

Lothar nodded slightly.

Hardy is just a small person, a leader of a local gang, he will not dare to fight against the lord, or even kidnap a nobleman like in the game.

"Is the attack on Rahman's mansion going well?"

"Let him in."

Lothar's move can be regarded as completely stabilizing his prestige as the Earl of Transjordan. Even the most rebellious vassal never dared to go against his will easily.

Otherwise, you can only set up cards to collect tolls like New Habsburg and Hebron-this kind of rough one-size-fits-all model is undoubtedly very unreasonable.

"I thought that attacking Rahman would scare you, but looking at it now, you should not mistake me for a tyrant. I am very relieved."

Soon, the head of Saracens named Mu Le came back to this place with his head down, the mansion he just visited yesterday.

Hans hesitated for a moment, and said, "With Ms. Jeanne here, it should go well."

And in Petra Barony.

Lothar just released a little bit of breath, which made Muller's face pale.

Some lords from all over the country were very excited, while others were full of sadness.

Lothar asked the maid to bring the wine.

"Stop talking about it. There are many people who want to marry the Earl. It is said that the Lord even rejected the olive branch offered by Princess Sibilla."

Mueller didn't hesitate.

puff-

He didn't plan to dismiss these maids. The mansions of Hebron and Alander needed to be maintained manually. It would be most appropriate to send some of them away in batches on average.

"Mueller, you are a talent, and I have never hesitated to reuse talents—I want to appoint you as the tax officer of Port Aila. The only thing that makes me hesitate is your loyalty."

"It's hard work. Sit down and drink a glass of wine and take a break. Although this Port of Ella is not extremely hot, the hot flashes are quite tormenting. Compared with here, I still feel that living in Hebron is more comfortable."

The subordinates wanted to say more, but Argon had already waved his hand and refused:

"Heh, you can become a confidant in just a few words?"

"Oh, Mueller, it's really satisfying to get rid of him. How about getting rid of you? Why do you think I'll keep you?"

Lothar sneered, maybe the benefits are tied, and Muller will not betray him when the price is not enough, but this obviously has nothing to do with loyalty.

Word soon spread throughout Transjordan.

Mu Le forced a smile: "Master, I want to know why you attacked Rahman?"

The courtiers under Argon thought for a moment, and gave a suggestion: "My lord, Earl Lothar is not married yet. Although your daughter is still young, you still have two unmarried younger sisters."

"Then kneel down and swear allegiance to me, and I will promote you as a knight under my command. As for the conversion ceremony - just do it in the church in the city in the afternoon."

"Ah."

Mueller quickly shook his head and said, "My lord, Rahman deserves his death. He has done so many evil things. It is really satisfying for you to deal with him!"

Lothar was a little surprised.

In addition, Zugal, Shaokeba, Tafila, Sila, Hormuz (hormuz is not the one in the Strait of Hormuz), Sanoril and other places are not as good as him.

The collection of commercial tax requires professional tax officers.

Baron Argonne couldn't help being amused at the naivety of his men.

Argon rolled his eyes: "Idiot, with the looks of my two younger sisters, if you really get married, are you sure you're not enmity with the Earl?"

"Müller, are you 40 years old this year?"

With lightning speed, Lothar defeated the army led by Zayn under the city of Alandele, and recovered the news of the bishopric of Alandele and the port of Ella one after another.

"My lord, I don't understand why you should worry about this. You are the confidant who swore allegiance to Earl Lothar on his first day in office."

This age, for the poor at the bottom who work all day, is undoubtedly the age of half buried, but Muller obviously does not belong to the poor, and is in the prime of life.

But compared with yesterday's state of mind, it is already different.

"What I'm worried about is, how can I really form a closer relationship with Earl Lothar. This battle was almost fought by Earl Lothar alone. What does it mean?"

In the court of Kaleburg, Leonard, who had just finished his wedding with Eleanor and was about to mobilize troops to take over Lothar's mess, was so angry that he jumped up and down.

At this time, a guard's voice sounded from outside the curtain: "My lord, that Saracen chief named Mu Le wants to see you."

"Don't worry, I'm not the same as that idiot Zayn, I won't waste money, we're discussing and formulating a new business tax, and it's best to create a business guild to maintain the fairness of business in Ella Port."

Lothar drew out his cold armed sword and put it on his shoulder: "Say the oath with me."

Argon sat back on the chair and muttered to himself.

Lothar shook his wine glass lightly and said with a smile, "Please sit down, Mr. Muller."

He hurriedly said: "My lord, I am absolutely loyal to you!"

He knelt down on one knee, neatly.

The Barony of Petra held by Argon is almost the richest territory in Transjordan except Kaleburg and Montreal in Reynard.

If it is rigidly applied to the Port of Ella, it will lead to a large loss of business tax. This is the advantage of the proportional tax system over the per capita tax system.

Baron Argonne was one of those sad faces.

Hans took the glass and agreed, "Indeed, patrolling the streets in full armor in this weather is really torture."

"Leynard is too strong. Under him, I will bear the brunt."

Mueller's face changed and changed.

Muller didn't understand why Lothar would jump to this topic, hesitantly said: "My lord, I'm already 39 this year."

He didn't dare to hesitate, let alone say "I am a devout Zoroastrian" and he didn't want to convert.

"I'm very dissatisfied with the decline of Ella Port. How can there be a little bit of elegance on the Red Sea? I hope that you can help me as soon as possible to restore the prosperity here."

"What? You want to intercede for him?"

"Heh, you're quite courageous."

After Mu Le finished his oath, all the combat skills of the commanding knights flooded into his mind, and he blurted out in astonishment: "My lord, are you a wizard?"

...

Caution is one aspect. Rang Na's dealing with a small local leader is like a nuclear bomb hitting a mosquito, which is a dimensionality reduction blow, and no accidents are possible.

"It can be understood in this way. Now, Mueller, you are your own person. Can you tell me carefully how to improve the predicament of Port Ella?"

Lothar nodded slightly and said: "Let's count it, but whether you are useful or not, what you say doesn't count."

"With Earl Lothar's current prestige and military strength, next, I'm afraid it's time to attack the vassals under his command."

"He doesn't trust us vassals at all."

Mueller's face became extremely pale, he hesitated, and said, "My lord, I am useful to you."

Because this will lead to the sale of a shipment of grain and the sale of a shipment of spices, the need to pay the same amount of tax.

Predictably, a storm is brewing.

Argon hoped that he could benefit from this storm, such as gaining the right to rule the neighboring border city of Shaokeba, and then marching eastward with Lothar to obtain new territories.

Not the one that bears the brunt, the one that gets washed out.

"Prepare gifts and mounts. We will set off tomorrow morning and go to the port of Ella to pay a visit to the Earl."
