The Rise of the European Emperor

Chapter 553 Adler's Award

Although it may seem unfair to do so, after all, Schwartz deserves much more credit than Adler. In Europe, however, bloodline is more important than military merit.

People of noble blood are born to be officers. For example, the famous Duke of Wellington in the United Kingdom, who came from a noble family, bought the rank of colonel at a young age and spent a sum of money. Colonel, let's go! A colonel is a big man at the level of a regiment commander and a brigade commander, and manages the work of thousands of people or even thousands of people - this is the power of blood... And soldiers from ordinary people may never reach the level of lieutenant officers in their entire lives. Level, you can only be a small soldier leader like a master sergeant...

This is still in the 19th century, when Europe has begun to pay attention to the rights of ordinary people. In the 16th century, the situation was even more serious. The children of the great nobles, once they enter the army, are high-ranking officers. And ordinary people...maybe they won't be able to become officers until they die...

Why was Marin's army so effective and morale high? Because the soldiers understand that even if they are ordinary people, as long as they perform well, they will have the opportunity to be promoted. If they worked their lives under the command of other nobles, there would never be such an opportunity... and in order to become nobles, many civilian soldiers would dare to exchange their lives for...

Because of the difference in blood, Adler can still get the most credit without fighting, and the upgrade is faster than Schwartz. In this regard, Schwartz will not have any opinion. why? This is European tradition and custom!

Therefore, when Marin promoted Adler before the promotion of meritorious soldiers, not only would there be no resistance, but he would also be praised for "knowing the rules"...

Thinking of this, Marin directly said to Adler:

"Adler, you have arranged this matter, take the time to come back to Aurich with me!"

"What?" Adler was puzzled.

"Improve the title..." Marin said calmly.

"I want to mention it again? I haven't fought a few battles, so I'm ashamed..." Adler said, rubbing his hands a little embarrassedly. Of course, he would not refuse. It's a good thing that the pie is falling from the sky, whoever doesn't want it is stupid...

Sister-in-law Liv suddenly became interested and asked happily:

"What title? How much did the fief increase?" Thinking that the granary might have been filled with grain after the fief was added, she smiled so much that her eyes narrowed. Liv fell in love with the feeling of lying on a pile of gold coins and counting money...

"Official Viscount, the highest among the three Viscounts. As for the fief... double the arable land..."

Adler now has a fief of 5,000 Eugrams, of which 2,000 Eugrams are cultivated,

That is 24,000 acres. If the increase is doubled, it is 20,000 mu of arable land...

Such a huge number of fiefs and awards, if they were placed in ancient China, it is estimated that those ministers would be jealous to death. why? Because of the awards in ancient China, it is generally only a few hundred acres of land. 72,000 acres of land, it is estimated that most courtiers do not have that much land...

You know, that is the Great Eastern Empire. An important minister of such a large empire could not have so much arable land. Only those who wantonly annexed land like Xu Jie in his later years can get as much as 240,000 mu of land, stunned countless people.

Anyway, with so much land, plus Marin's special fertilizer and advanced farming management technology, the 20,000 mu of arable land can bring untold wealth to Adler every year. With the characteristics of high food prices in Europe, with so many high-yield arable land, it is almost like having a mountain of gold coins...

Both Adler and sister-in-law Liv were overwhelmed by the beautiful "Qian Jing". The eyes of the couple were full of gold coins and satisfied expressions.

Seeing their expressions, Marin was also very satisfied...

why? Marin was worried that the Adlers would not be satisfied with the award, for example, they wanted an earl title or something...

If Adler really wants the earl title, Marin is really not very easy to refuse. However, the title of Earl is too high. Even an earl of a vassal state is quite rare. Becoming an earl means entering the top aristocratic circle and being eligible to compete for the throne.

Therefore, Marin is not very happy to assign top titles like Earls in his Grand Duchy. When it comes to the Earl, there is basically no seal. If you want to level up, you have no choice but to rebel...

As it happens, Adler's presence is very sensitive. If Marin was alive, he naturally wouldn't worry about having a different mind. But if he unfortunately died earlier than Adler, that would be a big problem.

At that time, Adler can claim that he was forced to give up his inheritance. Then, jump out and compete with Caesar for the throne, and that's a big problem. Adler alone is naturally no threat, but what if foreign forces intervene? As happened with Edward of the York family...

So, Marin has been paying attention to Adler's reaction. Adler is a scumbag and has no acting talent. Therefore, it is the best choice to observe the reaction on the spot.

Fortunately, Adler was not dissatisfied with becoming a viscount. Even, I felt a little embarrassed and surprised. This made Marin very satisfied. This shows that Adler does not have much ambition.

Sister-in-law Liv is also, this girl is a female version of Adler, scumbag, and aggressive, but she has no heart. Although some women are petty and sometimes care about their interests, they are all for Adler's sake. And this is just the duty of a wife, there is nothing to say.

This couple are relatively simple and rude people, and this kind of quality is exactly what Marin wants to see. If they were as thoughtful as his brother Albert, Marin would have thought about getting rid of them...

However, when rewarding the fief to Adler, Marin also played a trick - he did not reward Adler with the land in the territory of Lyle County, which is near Adler's current fief, but in Oldenburg. Region and Jutland region, 2000 Ugrams of arable land were allocated to Adler respectively.

In this way, Adler's fief was divided into three parts, which could not be gathered together. In this way, even if Adler has his own strength, he will not be able to gather in one place. For example, the escort followers must be divided into three places separated by a long distance. In this way, the force directly controlled by Adler was greatly reduced.

In addition, Marin also gave Adler a "gift package" - allowing him to retain the title of "Baron Lyle". Moreover, it was also allowed to transfer the title of Baron Lyle, including the baronies and castles of Lyle County, to his second son...

Although Adler's eldest son has not yet been born, he is still young and the couple is in good health, so there is a high possibility of giving birth to a second son.

The new title that Marin intends to give Adler is Viscount Oldenburg. Two of his future new estates, one will be near the city of Oldenburg, and the other will be in Jutland. Of course, this manor near Oldenburg City will serve as Adler's home fief, and will be funded by Marin to help him build a castle.

As for the original Baron of Lyle, Marin is very hopeful that Adler will be transferred to the second son. In this way, Adler's fief will be weakened.

Such an approach, anyone who is familiar with the history of China, may reveal it in one sentence-isn't this the "order of grace" of the Han Dynasty? If the title and territory of Baron Lyell are transferred to the second son, then Adler's eldest son will only have two fiefs on Oldenburg and Jutland, and his strength will be reduced by one third. Naturally, the threat is smaller than before...

Although the cheap big brother, who is not very smart, feels a little sorry in his heart, Malin knows that the monarch should be ruthless...

Of course, this refers to the ruthlessness of the heart. On the surface, it is to show warmth, it seems to attach great importance to family members and subjects, and the banner of morality has to be waved a few times a day... If you can't do this, you should be a small person as soon as possible, that's also okay. It can avoid the tragic end of death without a whole body in the future...
