Chapter 572, Shaking the Burden

good news? Ryan frowned slightly, thinking about what good news the fairy in the lake could tell him?

Su Liya also set her sights on the fairy in the lake. The female knight had been with the goddess for a long time, and she could already feel that the goddess' emotions were a bit complicated, but she was generally happy about it.

"Yeah." The happy mood of the fairy in the lake only lasted for a short while, and the expression on her face fluctuated slightly, as if sighing, as if she was helpless, the goddess flew around the room, and put the iris on her body. After the scent of flowers filled the bedroom in the afternoon, he said slowly: "Lionna Sai agreed."

"Agreed?" Ryan repeated the sentence. He stretched out his hand and gently pressed Suria's shoulder, signaling his wife not to get up.

Duke Mousilon thought about it for a while, and immediately understood what was going on.

The air conditioner in the room was turned on, and Ryan was standing in front of the window. He pinched his chin: "Whose decision is this? Dalhaide?"

"It's Baron Adehad, he will soon become the Duke of Lyonnaise." The fairy in the lake sighed, the goddess turned around in the air, and sat beside Suria instead, with With inexplicable feelings: "After many searches, the family of the Duke of Lyonnaise decided that they could not wait any longer, and they decided to support Dalhaide's nephew, Alderlade's cousin, that is, Baron Alderhad, With Richard's permission, Baron Adehad is about to be proclaimed the Duke of Lyonnaise. This is a knight of the kingdom in his fifties. The problem of the old collar."

Ryan nodded. He stood in front of the window, thinking about the series of things. Duke Musilon raised his head, and he suddenly smiled: "Oh, ma'am, Suria, you said that once this resolution is passed, the nobles of the kingdom will What would you think of me? A vile thief who couldn't wait to feast on the dead duke when he was dead?"

"Ryan, don't talk about yourself like that, you have a legitimate reason." Su Liya sat on the head of the bed. Due to her physical condition, the female knight couldn't get up, so she could only comfort Ryan in a gentle voice: "At present, you have a good relationship with Mu Xi. Long's old territory has a legitimate right to claim it, and so does Lyonnaise, so if you follow the rules to get back this territory, then Leonase will also act within the framework, and you don't have to worry about being accused of you."

"Heh~" Ryan shook his head and smiled wryly. He shrugged his shoulders with a calm expression on his face: "So, my lady, what conditions did Adehad offer?"

"Assist in suppressing the rebellion, enough food for three months, to accommodate part of the population, and a sum of money." The fairy in the lake said simply: "A sum of money is enough, Baron Adehad's expectation for this is 10,000 Five thousand gold crowns."

The first two were agreed, and Ryan didn't say much, but when he heard that Adehad actually wanted 15,000 kronor, the Duke's expression changed.

"Fifteen thousand gold crowns? Huh!" Ryan looked cold, and his tone was full of sarcasm: "If you have the ability, keep that piece of land. Does Adehad think he is very capable? If If I don't give it, he won't have to cede Mu Xilong's old collar? What does he think he can do? Let Lyonnaise return to the glorious days when he had nearly 10,000 knights?!"

"Lian!" Su Liya wanted to laugh after hearing her husband's words, and her tone was a little bit annoyed: "Don't speak so eccentrically, it will scare the child!"

"I'm sorry, ma'am!" Ryan hurriedly sat down in front of the bed, gently held the little hand of the female knight, and expressed his apology. The Duke was gentle and considerate to himself, and his elegant wife really had nothing to do, so he quickly apologized.

The fairy in the lake was sitting on the bed. Seeing the relationship between Ryan and his wife so well, the goddess was both happy and upset. She stretched out her hand and pinched Ryan's face: "Adaihad is also helpless, he will do this. The choice is not surprising, am I right? My champion?"

"Helpless ass!" Ryan sneered, and he stood up immediately: "Baron Adehad is very clear,

Since I can't keep it, why not use it as a threat to ask for more things, and want to pay a large sum of money from me to make up for his bottomless financial abyss. I understand that he is eager for money, but 10,000 Five thousand gold crowns? "

"...But that's Lioness of Silruf, Ryan." The fairy in the lake didn't blame Ryan after hearing this. The goddess was neither happy nor sad. Because, a sad elegy of fate, you are the one who inherits Landuin's will and last wish, Ryan Malcador."

Ryan's eyes fixed, and the Duke's eyes suddenly changed from ridicule to sadness, and he sighed: "Yes, I am the one who inherited the will of Landuin, the last thing that Landuin never forgot before he completely disappeared, It's the matter between him and Shirruf, from this point alone, I can't push Leo Nasai too much."

At this point, Ryan laughed again, and he said with a smile: "Actually, Adehad is very smart. At this time, if he is an idiot, he must be shouting that this part of Musilon's old leader is Leonor." Sai is a sacred and inseparable part, and he will never cede and accept my request, but Adehad is a sensible person. He knows too well what he needs most as the new Duke of Lyonnaise, and Leonase What is the key question."

There was silence in the room.

Ryan was speechless, and the fairy in the lake seemed to be remembering something.

After a long time, someone decided to speak up.

"Shake the burden." Su Liya finally spoke, and the female knight gently signaled herself to stand up. The fairy in the lake immediately supported her, and the female knight said softly: "This is a burden, a heavy burden. In this era , everyone must move forward with a heavy burden, but Leonasse’s burden is too heavy, it is too heavy, and Baron Adehad knows that the best way for him is to refuse to take over as the duke.”

"But he accepted." The expression of the fairy in the lake became more and more sad: "Any mortal is not a stone without feelings. Personal interests are one thing, and the interests of the Principality are another. Adehad stepped forward , he knew that he had to be careful and carefully take over this heavy duke title, this duke title was like a piece of extremely fragile glass, as long as there was a little bit of carelessness, Lyonnaise would be shattered into pieces before he took over. "

"Therefore, he has to unload as much burden as possible." Su Liya with her belly upright, the female knight was wearing a loose white silk dress, she slowly came to Ryan's side, a warm smile appeared on the female knight's face , said sternly: "Mu Xilong's old collar is one of the heavy burdens, and at this time, if someone wants this burden, then just give it to him! By the way, let's see what we can get."

Ryan sighed and nodded. Even if she was pregnant, even if she stayed in the fairy tower in the lake for a long time to raise her fetus, Suria's political wisdom and political sensitivity were still outstanding. It can even be said that the whole There are few duchesses in the kingdom with her wit.

Why is it said that Musillon's old collar is a heavy burden, and Adehad must get rid of it?

In fact, it is very simple to put it bluntly. Ryan directly looks at it from three aspects.

In terms of economy, judging from the current situation of the Principality of Lyonnaise, those places are now unable to collect a penny of taxes. Instead, a large amount of food relief is needed.

The same is true for the military. How many registered knights are there in Lyonnaise? Less than eight hundred! It is very difficult for these knights to be able to protect the Lyonnaise Castle and its surrounding areas, but what is the situation in that principality now? There are rebellions everywhere! The serfs set off a rebellion and took over the mountains as kings, and the Norscan pirates attacked the coast sporadically, but Lyonnaise had no soldiers! No food! If the burden of Lyonnaise’s south is thrown away now, the knights of the principality can instead concentrate all their energy on deploying defenses to the north. In addition, Ryan will send troops, and the military pressure will be conservatively reduced by 60%.

As for the issue of nobles, let alone, after the battle of Courona, the former Musilon nobles in the entire Leona Sainan, who were in the old collar of Musillon, had already pledged their allegiance to Ryan. The successor, the orthodox jurisprudence proclaimer of Duke Musillon and the man who restored Musillon, if they don't swear allegiance to Ryan, who else can they swear allegiance to?

Now those castles have all erected the Mousillon coat of arms with black irises on a yellow background.

What else could Adehad do?

"This is people's hearts! This is people's popularity!" Suria said to Ryan with some pride: "Len, Adehad knows that even if the old collar of Musillon is left behind, he will not be able to receive a grain of food. If you can't get a copper coin or move a knight, what's the use of keeping it?"

This is her man. Today, Ryan has stood proudly on the top of the knight kingdom!

"So... fifteen thousand gold crowns." Ryan nodded, he thought for a while, and said with a wry smile: "This is addition and subtraction. I have to catch this burden when I throw it over, so he reduces the burden. This is Do subtraction. I also have to give him compensation, including sending troops, including food support, and a large amount of cash. This is doing addition, Adehad, what a smart man, I have to agree, because I want this piece The land, the richness of this land has been proven countless times.”

"Before the Great Depression, Mu Xilong was known as the land of a thousand lakes." The fairy in the lake smiled and said, "The most fertile land is that piece of land. As long as you manage it well for a few years, you will definitely be able to recover more benefits." of."

"Okay, let Adehad send someone." Ryan finally nodded, and he said seriously: "We have to talk about everything, money is not so easy to get!"

After all, nearly half of the territory is to be cut from Lyonnaise, and some compensation is still necessary, but Ryan also knows that it is easy to agree so easily that he will be taken as a fool, and some negotiations are still necessary.

Ryan pulled a chair and gently picked up Suria and sat down together. He put his arms around his wife's waist and said with a smile: "Ma'am, you don't have to think about so many things. Your most important task recently is to take care of yourself." Take care of yourself."

"Lian~ What are you doing! The lady is still there!" Being hugged on her lap, Surya blushed immediately, and she said reproachfully, "Don't do that."

"Suria is pregnant now, Ryan, you have to be careful!" Sure enough, the fairy in the lake also took the opportunity to attack Ryan, and the goddess stretched out her fist and hit Ryan on the shoulder: "Don't do bad things!"

"Hehehe~" Ryan had a wry smile on his face. He gently hugged Suria and let her lean on his chest, but he was thinking about his power in his heart.

Now, he is the Duke of Musillon, he controls the entire principality, and he will become the king in a few years.

Being able to achieve this step within ten years is inseparable from his political marriage with Suria.

Lane was considered an outsider until his marriage.

And by marrying Suria, Ryan took advantage of the opportunity to "localize" his regime. Now, no Britannian thinks he is a foreigner.

At this time, an heir is extremely important to his regime, which means that his regime has continuity. Even if Ryan explodes in situ and spirals into the sky, his regime will not collapse because of this. The knights under his command Will immediately support the child in Surya's womb as the next leader.

This is called the stability and continuity of the regime.

In Ryan's previous life, he had read the story of Yong'an Tuogu, and he was so moved at that time.

But now, after becoming a duke and establishing his own power, Ryan went back and thought, in that case, is it possible to support the country on the premise that there is more than one orthodox heir?

The answer is, no! Can! can!

But looking back, Ryan also knows that there are still many problems with the internal affairs system he established, including inefficient manorial management, low cohesion and low mobilization under the enfeoffment system, and the current strong combat effectiveness and extremely high The cohesion is all achieved by Ryan's personal prestige in the sky and his unparalleled personal bravery, and brilliant victories one after another.

What would the regime be without Lane himself?

Eastern Han model.

What is the Eastern Han Dynasty model?

Relatives are in power.

Therefore, from this point of view alone, it is impossible for Ryan to divorce Suria. If he wants to divorce, the knights under his command will not agree, his leaders will not agree, the nobles of the knight kingdom will not agree, and the fairy in the lake will not agree. No, not his brothers, not even the Emperor himself!

From this point of view, this is another big game of his father's game! The emperor had already seen all this clearly earlier than Ryan. He would personally meet Suria and bestow on her the title of "Princess of the Empire". One of the most important parts was to tell Ryan that under no circumstances should you consider divorce!

"Lane?"

Fortunately, Suria is a real good match for Ryan. The female knight and him get along tacitly and have a good relationship. After having a child, Ryan has no idea of ​​divorce at all.

But that doesn't mean Ryan doesn't need to change.

Holding his pregnant wife in his arms, Ryan thought quietly that he would take advantage of this opportunity, taking advantage of the development of Mu Silom's new land and the arrival of a large wave of Mu Silom nobles, to start his own plan.

"Ryan? Ryan?" Suria keenly sensed Ryan's emotional changes, and the female knight said softly, "What's wrong? What are you thinking?"

"I'm thinking about how to develop and rebuild the land of Musillon after I got it." Ryan came back to his senses, and he smiled at the female knight: "Suria, you said that I took the city of Musillon How about transforming it into an urban belt composed of commerce and industry?"

"Of course!" Su Liya immediately agreed, and the female knight never objected to her husband's major decisions: "It just so happens that there is now a white field, and we can do whatever we want. Innovation is the best time!"

"Hehehe~" Ryan's heart warmed up, and he hugged Suria tightly: "Thank you, Suria, I don't think I can leave you anymore."

"Ryan~" In Surya's sea-blue eyes, the light of wisdom flashed by, and the female knight leaned on Ryan's shoulder, her face was full of happiness: "I don't want to leave you either."

The couple's show of affection finally made the onlookers couldn't stand it anymore, and the fairy in the lake stood up angrily: "The two of you are enough! Well, don't get tired of being together, it's time for afternoon tea, let's get together Go to the garden to enjoy the shade and enjoy afternoon tea! Surya also needs to exercise properly!"

"Ok!"

At the same time, the Old World, the Empire, Reikland, the capital of the Empire, Brunswick, and the Imperial Palace.

Imperial Emperor Karl Franz, Rick Field Marshal Kurt Helberg, Emperor's Bannerman Ludwig Schwarzhammer, Archbishop of the Justice Church Vikmar-Fortitude, Grand Alchemist Bairsa The most powerful people in the empire, including Ze Gelt, Ivan Ferdinand, Duke of Griffin, and White Wolf Elector Boris Todbringer, were having a meeting together.

And the protagonist they were talking about was Ryan Malcador who had completed the mission of recovering Musillon, became the new Duke Musillon, and was about to become the King of Knights!
