Although it seems unfair to do so, Schwartz's contribution is much greater than Adler's. However, in Europe, bloodline is more important than military achievements.
People with noble blood are born to be officers. For example, the famous Duke of Wellington in the UK was born as an aristocratic person. He was young and spent a lot of money to buy the rank of colonel. The colonel started! The colonel is a big boss of the same level as the commander and the brigade commander, who manages the work of thousands of people or even thousands of people - this is the power of blood... And soldiers from ordinary people may not reach the level of lieutenant-level officers in their lifetime, and can only be a soldier leader like a sergeant commander...
This was in the 19th century, when Europe began to pay attention to the rights of ordinary people. In the 16th century, this situation became even more serious. Children from great nobles came into the army and became senior officers. Ordinary people... may not be able to become officers until they die...
Why is Marin's army highly combative 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 work hard under other nobles, such opportunities will never be... In order to become nobles, many civilian soldiers dare to exchange their lives...
Because of the difference in bloodlines, Adler could still receive the greatest credit without fighting, and upgraded faster than Schwartz. Schwartz would not have any opinions on this. Why? This is the tradition and habit of Europe!
Therefore, before Marin promoted Adler to the promotion of a meritorious soldier, he would not only not have any resistance, but also be praised for "understanding the rules"...
Thinking of this, Marin said directly to Adler:
"Adler, you have arranged the matter here. Take time to go back to Orich with me!"
"What are you doing?" Adler was a little puzzled.
"Elevate the lower title..." Marin said calmly.
"I'm going to mention it again? I haven't fought a few battles, so I'm sorry..." Adler rubbed his hands with some embarrassment and said. Of course, he wouldn't refuse. The good thing about a pie falling from the sky, whoever wants to be stupid...
Sister-in-law Liv suddenly felt excited and asked happily:
"What title is it? How much is the fief?" Thinking that the grain silence might be filled with grain after the fief is added, she smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed into a thread. Liv was so fond of lying on the pile of gold coins to count money, she was so fond of love...
"The official viscount, the highest level among the third-level viscounts. As for the fief... let's double the arable land..."
Adler now has 5,000 Yugram fiefs, of which 2,000 Yugrams are cultivated land, which is 24,000 acres. If it doubles, it will be 72,000 acres of arable land...
If such a huge number of fiefs were placed in ancient China, they would probably be jealous of the ministers. Why? Because the ancient Chinese gifts were generally only a few hundred acres or thousands of acres of land. 72,000 acres of land, and most court officials probably did not have that much land...
You know, that is the Eastern Empire. Even the important ministers of such a large empire cannot have so much arable land. Only those who have acquired land in their later years, like Xu Jie, can they get the land to 240,000 acres, which scared countless people.
Anyway, with so much land, coupled with Marin's special fertilizers and advanced farming management technology, the 72,000 mu of arable land can bring countless wealth to Adler every year. With the high prices in Europe, having so much high-yield arable land almost has a mountain of gold coins...
Both Adler and his sister-in-law Liv were so happy that they were beautiful "money prospects". The couple's eyes were full of gold coins and a satisfied expression.
Seeing their expressions, Marin was also very satisfied...
Why? Marin was worried that the Adlers and his wife were not satisfied with the reward, such as asking for an earl...
If Adler really wanted the title of Earl, Marin would not be easy to refuse. However, the title of Earl is too high. Even the count of the vassal states is quite rare. Becoming an earl means entering the top aristocratic circle and being qualified to participate in the throne struggle.
Therefore, Marin was not very willing to confer a top title like the earl in his grand duke. When he arrived at the earl, he basically had no chance to be enfeoffed. If he wanted to upgrade, he had no other way except rebellion...
But Adler's existence is very sensitive. If Marin is alive, he will naturally not worry about having different thoughts. But if he unfortunately dies earlier than Adler, it will be a big problem.
At that time, Adler can declare to the outside world that he was forced to give up his inheritance rights. Then, he jumped out to compete for the throne with Caesar, which would be a big problem. Adler alone naturally had no threat, but what if there were foreign forces involved? Just like Edward of the York family...
Therefore, Marin has always paid great attention to Adler's reaction. Adler is a poor student and has no talent for acting. Therefore, observing his reaction on the spot is the best choice.
Fortunately, Adler was not very dissatisfied with becoming a viscount. He even felt a little embarrassed and surprised. This made Marin very satisfied. This means that Adler did not have much ambitions.
The sister-in-law Liv is the same. This girl is a female version of Adler. She is a poor student and is aggressive, but she is not smart. Although some women are young and sometimes they are a little concerned about interests, they are all for Adler. And this is just the duty of a wife, and there is nothing to say.
This couple is both simple and crude, and this quality is exactly what Marin hopes to see. If they are as thoughtful as their younger brother Albert, Marin probably will have to think about getting rid of them...
However, when rewarding Adler's fiefdom, Marin also made a fool of himself. He did not reward Adler's current fiefdom, Lair County, to Adler, but instead allocated 2,000 Yugram's cultivated land to Adler in the Oldenburg area and the Jutland Peninsula area respectively.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! In this way, Adler's fiefdom will be divided into three parts and cannot be concentrated together. In this way, even if Adler has his own strength, he will not be able to gather in one place. For example, the guards and entourages must be divided into three places far away. In this way, Adler's direct force will be greatly reduced.
In addition, Marin also gave Adler a "big gift package" - allowing him to retain the title of "Barl Lair". Moreover, he was allowed to transfer the title of Baron Lair, including the Baron Corner and Castle in Lair County to his second son...
Although Adler's eldest son has not been born yet, 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. His two new manors in the future will be near Oldenburg City and the other will be on the Jutland Peninsula. Of course, this manor near Oldenburg City will serve as Adler's home fiefdom, and Marin will fund it to help him build a castle.
As for the original Baron Lele, Marin hoped that Adler would transfer it to his second son. In this way, Adler's fiefdom would be weakened.
Anyone who is familiar with Chinese history may reveal this approach in one sentence - isn't this the Han Dynasty's "foreign order"? If Baron Lyle's title and territory were transferred to his second son, then Adler's eldest son would only be two fiefs on Oldenburg and Jutland Peninsula, and his strength would drop by one third, which would naturally be less threatened than before...
Although he was a little sad about his plan to plot against this not-so-smart cheap brother, Marin knew that the monarch should be ruthless...
