Chapter 177 The vassal meeting (2) asking for a monthly ticket
After the two of them sat down, Lynn first made a fuss, "You don't have to worry about me, King, I just plan to take the oath of office on the Iron Throne."
"hey-hey."
"Haha, I have a good spirit to protect my lord."
Lynn's words made a sneering laugh suddenly sound in the chamber, which was a little depressed by the quarrel.
"But the North needs to mint coins by yourself," Lynn continued to say without waiting for the laughter to disappear, "It is most appropriate to establish a mint in Baigang. The North now has fewer and fewer currencies, and civilians need silver deer and copper coins available for use in the North."
Leanna stood up and said, "Where is the golden dragon?"
Lin En glanced at her, "There is no need for a golden dragon, and even the silver moon above the silver deer is not minted. We just minted coins for the civilians. Without coins, it is always inconvenient for the people."
Leanna looked at Lin Neng's face suspiciously, with a righteous look on herding official, as if she was a herdsman who loved her people, but she realized that this was not the one she knew Lin Neng at all.
Lynn is a fox, not a honest roe deer.
Only minting low-level currencies has no profit at all, and it is very energy-consuming. This is also the desire of silver deer and copper to be less and less on the mainland.
However, although the little bear girl noticed something abnormal, she could not produce evidence, and Lynn's performance was impeccable.
The proposal was regarded as Lynn's generous move and was quickly adopted unanimously.
Lynn asked Alverde to issue a contract for negotiation and let the lords sign it. As long as the contract is signed, the lords have no right to prevent the people in the territory from signaling to mint coins in Baigang. If they violate the contract, they will have the right to make appropriate rulings, such as taxation.
He was very concerned about this matter and specifically talked about it because Lin En had his own little thoughts in it. The silver deer and copper pieces cast in the North will be engraved with the Gripen family's clan emblem.
He deliberately ignored this point and did not say it out loud. In the future, the nobles who signed the agreement would not dare to say anything.
At most, I just curse Lynn in private and just cunning.
If you fall into a righteous open plot, no one can blame others.
What's more, Lin En is not as strong as before in promoting agricultural reform, which still makes the northern nobles breathe a sigh of relief in private.
If Lynn's previous practice of abolishing military conscription and collecting only money taxes and food was welcomed by a considerable number of vassals and also resisted by a number of vassals, which was equivalent to mixed feelings of favor and dislike.
The strong behavior of agricultural reform almost aroused the heroes and indignation of the nobles in the northern border.
If Lynn's potato cultivation could indeed make these nobles feel the benefits, a civil war in the North would have been inevitable.
By then, Lin En would not be able to develop his internal affairs and would need to continue to deal with the uprisings of all nobles in the northern border.
It was also through the promotion of agricultural reform that Lin En also gained some experience in governing as a monarch in the vast northern border.
Every noble can pass on for hundreds of thousands of years because it is committed to safeguarding its own interests. If you deprive them of their privileges, they will oppose you.
If your contract is unfair, such as repeatedly levying taxes to exploit vassals, you will suffer tyranny and the effect will affect all vassals.
Because your behavior violates the feudal contractual relationship between the monarch and his subjects.
On the contrary, lower taxes and the enlistment of soldiers on their territory will increase their favorability for you.
Of course, each lord has different attitudes towards everything, and each different obligation option may increase or decrease favorability.
As long as Lynn doesn't challenge the common interests of all of them, there will be no big opposition.
And even if you do something bad, as a vassal, you can also choose to forgive you by giving vassals certain privileges, such as ensuring that they obtain a position as a affairs officer.
If you want to enter into unequal clauses, you can do this, but to offset the tyranny and reduce points, you have to use some tricks to blackmail the vassal in this way to force him to agree to your clauses without causing strong resistance.
So, Lin En plans to feed some of the vassals a sweet date first.
When the contract between the monarch and his ministers who were very textured with exquisite parchment were signed, the old housekeeper Alvered ordered the servants who were serving him to collect it again from the table below.
Looking at a stack of parchment paper on the desk in front of me.
Lynn casually reached out and took one from it, which was also covered with a contract letter with wax seals from the respective families of both characters.
Looking at the signature above: White Harbor City, Lynn Rothschild; Kaho City, Harrion Kastark.
Lin En was slightly stunned.
The city of Kaho is located far northeast of Winterfell, in the center of a forest by the river, close to the trembling sea.
As a branch of the Stark family, the Kastark family is actually very kind to Winterfell. In modern times, the Kastark family responded twice to the orders convened by the distant relative and the fief of the Stark family.
The last lord of Kaho City, Earl Rekad, participated in the Trident River Battle. After that, he raised an army again to assist Robb in the Battle of the Five Kings.
During the war in Hejiandi, Count Recard's eldest son, Harrione, was captured by the Lannister family, and his other two sons were also killed on the battlefield.
Reckard, who was eager to take revenge, murdered two Lannister prisoners in Runliff City, causing the old-fashioned Robb to sentence him to death. Robb even cut off Reckard's head with his own hands in order to stand up, and the Kastark army heading south also rebelled and left the Northern Army.
After Recard's death, Harrion naturally became the new earl of Caho City.
"Who is Count Harion Castuck?" Lynn raised the parchment in his hand and shouted in the center of the field.
A haggard and black-bearded man stood up and saluted Lin En, "Guardian, I am Harrion, I don't know what's wrong with you?"
Lynn looked at the man in a pitch-black wool coat with a family sun-gun emblem embroidered on it.
He is obviously very young, but he looks full of vicissitudes of life.
"I heard that you were captured by the Lannister family and taken into nuquan Town. When did you return to the north?" Lin En asked.
"It was Knight Brienne who met me who was being judged in the fishing market in Nuquan City and saved me."
"Beautiful Knight Brienne?"
"Yes."
It was actually a beauty who saved him. Could it be that he did it when he went to Benliu City to rob the regicide James?
Lynn thought so, suddenly raised his voice and asked.
"Then why did your Kastark family seize Winterfell a few months ago and try to compete with me in the name of the Stark family?"
