Quick Transmigration: Losing All Standing and Reputation - Chapter 78

[Chapter 78 Glory Recovery (10)]

The nobles of Cannor are addicted to dance after dance. Men and women, when they are drinking and listening to each other, do not forget to talk about current affairs to show their extraordinary knowledge.

The Rhine has been at the center of their conversation since the farming reforms.

In addition to his frequent movements, it was also because he almost never attended balls, which made these nobles discuss him more casually.

At first, Hillier would still participate in these dances, but after listening to the nobles choreographing the Rhine, he stopped participating after a few sullen breaths.

Therefore, now Rhine has absolutely no idea that the nobles are laughing at his farming system.

In fact, in the Fran Dynasty, the farmland system had a prototype in ancient times, but it was abolished in modern times. Because military merit has become one of the main promotion methods, the status of soldiers has also been significantly improved, and farmers were once regarded as serfs. For a time, it was considered disrespectful for soldiers to do farm work. This conceptual change, coupled with other factors, led to the gradual abolition of the farmland system. And now, Rhine has brought up the farmland system again.

Although Rhine remembered that the starting point of this system was poverty, when he thought of the farmland system, various economic and political benefits of the farmland system quickly emerged in his mind, and he successfully persuaded himself.

Of course, these benefits cannot be used to convince the military itself. They have become accustomed to a life of idleness when there is no war, and a sense of superiority among the commoners. It would be an insult to them, no doubt, if they were now allowed to farm in their spare time.

Rhine thought for a long time and decided to start with interests. A knight is actually a title, but because there is no land and wealth, it is more like an honorary title. But it is already a great temptation for these soldiers, what about the land?

Rhine asked Hillier to be responsible for notifying this matter. Because of Rhine’s reliance, Hillier had become the leader of the Knights, and it was just right to do it at this moment.

Rhine divided the army into 30 groups, and each group had to have a knight in charge, and there were only 18 knights in existence, which meant that 12 of the active soldiers would be awarded the earl and become new knights.

After becoming the knight leading the team, the knight can manage a piece of land on behalf of the entire team, free of rent, and the harvest on the land is used for the army’s remuneration and food. The Rhine side will also pay part of the salary to the army, that is to say, the better the land is cultivated, the higher the salary the soldiers can get.

Although the land is not given to individuals for the convenience of management, it is still under the name of Rhine, but because no rent is charged, it is no different from owning land. The Rhine has only one requirement for the soldiers who participate in the selection of knights, and they must agree to cultivate the land when they are not fighting, whether they become knights or not. As long as you agree to this condition, you can participate in the selection of the twelve knights, and among the last thirty knights, Rhine will choose another knight commander, who will truly grant land, and this land is privately owned and not for military use.

Rheinland’s selection and reforms provided enough benefits. For most soldiers, becoming a knight is a step to the sky. Even if you lose the election, you will only lose face, but your treatment will be improved. There is no loss of interests. Be ready to move.

Cannon’s army has not fought for a long time. These soldiers are used to being lazy on weekdays, and they look more like rascals. Hillier saw with his own eyes the changes in his attitude after hearing about the need to settle the fields, and became more convinced of Rhine, and he was more concerned about the position of the knight commander.

If he can own his own land, there is no doubt about the benefits of his class promotion. It’s just that Hillier doesn’t know how Rhine wants to be selected, and he has no way to prepare.

On the day the registration ended, Hillier came to see Rhine with the registration results. Ninety percent of the entire army signed up. The remaining ten percent were the second and third first-class sons from nobles, and there was no estate in the family to distribute to them, so they had to come out and fight for the title on their own. But they will never go to farm, and it can be said that joining the army is to accumulate military merit. What is the matter of farming? Although they can no longer enjoy the wealth of the nobles, they still keep in mind their origin and are reluctant to do that kind of “self-deprecating” thing.

Rhine was too lazy to pay attention to these people. The opportunity has been given, it is a personal choice to seize it or not.

Rhine was personally responsible for the selection of the knights.

For the vast majority of people in the army, it was the first time they saw the little earl whom they were loyal to. The last time they saw the adults in charge of the army, it was the earl’s father who was in power.

Rhine’s face is too handsome, and it also has the melancholy that noble women are most obsessed with. This kind of appearance is not very popular among men. After all, it is often planted in the hands of such men when they are in love on weekdays. Seeing that the girls they like have been deceived by men with this appearance, and they are asked to treat this kind of appearance. It’s not easy to have a good impression of a man. But it doesn’t matter. In their eyes, the Count is mostly just a display. I’m afraid that the final decision is still the knight he relies on the most.

Hillier was too lazy to pay attention to these idiots. In his opinion, the more they were like this, the more likely he was to become a knight commander. Why should he remind them?

Rhein looked at the crowded people at the scene, and asked the existing knights to rectify their discipline. He stared at the noisy people, staring at them so much that he did not dare to speak, and then moved his eagle-like eyes to the next one. people.

Before he could say a word, he grabbed everyone’s attention in the gradually quiet scene.

There was a dull soldier who didn’t know what was going on. He just thought that his classmate shut up after being reprimanded by the knight.

There are soldiers with stronger intuition, who can’t help but try to figure out Rhine’s eyes, feeling that their hairs stand upright under that eyes.

Seeing that the scene finally stabilized, Rhine spoke up. He was lucky so that he didn’t have to hoarse his voice so that everyone present could hear him.

“Do you feel that you are particularly talented in military affairs and have outstanding strategies?”

As soon as this question came up, these soldiers looked at me, and I saw you shaking their heads and whispering, but no one dared to take the initiative to stand up .

Upon seeing this, Rhine added: “If not, the remaining people will fight against each other, and the outcome will be decided by force. The battle requires the consent of both parties, and there must be a knight to witness, and the knight who witnesses needs to guarantee the battle. Fair and true. If someone questions a certain battle, there is indeed a problem after investigation, and the witness knights need to be punished together. There are six knights in the strategy group and the force group. If anyone wants to report to the strategy group, go to Hillier Go over there, if no one signs up for the strategy group, the people present will compete for the six places in the force group first. The loser leaves the field, and the winner continues.” As soon as

Rhine’s voice fell, there was an uproar, it was obvious that Rhine had not changed. The meaning of the idea, immediately ran to Hillier with an active mind. The level of competition was different. Although they were not sure how Rhine would assess their military talents, they knew that they could not miss this opportunity.

The final result is that the number of people in the assessment group is mostly, and the number of people in the strategy group is smaller. After all, most people still advocate force, what they pursue is to become a heroic warrior, and they have little concept of the so-called strategy.

Rhine asked Hillier to take the people to another open space, and when Hillier returned, let him take over the assessment of the force team with full authority, and asked to stop the assessment when there were only 30 people left and wait for him to return.

There are only two or three hundred people in the planning team. The assessment method given by Rhine is very simple. Everyone can get a listing, and they must hang the listing around their waists. Those whose listings are taken away must immediately withdraw from the assessment. Speak up and give tips to those who are still assessing. Finally, choose six knights according to the number of listings from high to low. The time limit is two hours. Once the time is up, no one can take another person’s listing.

As soon as this rule came out, someone immediately said: “Lord Count, isn’t this competition still about force?”

Rhine glanced at the naive young man and smiled without saying a word. It was obvious that the people next to him had understood the rules of this rule. There is room for maneuvering, and everyone began to think about strategies with a calm face.

Rhine brought John today, and John handed out tags to the officers present. When he made the listing, John was still a little confused, thinking it was a newly popular thing among the nobles, but he didn’t expect it to be used for serious business.

Rhine himself is not involved, but he is not as simple as standing still and waiting for a result. After the timer started, someone took the lead in the nearby woods. Everyone felt very insecure in the open space without shelter, so they all followed one after another. Rhine also walked in. He walked around and watched everyone’s performance. The valet John reminded in a low voice: “Sir, there is a lot of fighting here, be careful.”

Rhine nodded.

Most of these officers were a little surprised when they saw him, so much so that they almost affected his performance. Only a few of them quickly regained their minds after being stunned, and took this opportunity to seize the opponent’s listing. Rhine looked at the faces of these people and took it to heart.

The woods are very big, and everyone is scattered, for fear that they will be attacked by others after finally winning the opponent.

Rhine walked deeper into the woods, and suddenly felt that something was wrong under his feet. He pushed John sharply, jumped away from that position with agility, and turned around to see a trap.

The three people hiding behind the tree heard the sound, thinking that the trap had successfully caught the person, and hurried over to harvest and list them. Unexpectedly, they saw the earl and his footman, and were stunned for a while.

John was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. He rushed to Rhine and asked, “Sir, are you alright?”

Rhine shook his head, looked at the three of them with interest, and asked, “Did you guys dig this trap together?

” The three did not expect that they almost caught the earl, but luckily the earl was fine. They didn’t think about how Rhine escaped, they just thought that the trap was not well done.

The one who took the lead admitted generously: “Our martial arts are not top-notch, so I thought of this method. Count, the rules you just mentioned do not prohibit such behavior.”

Rhine laughed: “Yes, I did not prohibit it . , so this is feasible, and I will not disclose it to others, you can continue your strategy. But if the three of you are partnered, how will the listing be divided?”

The person who was naive when Rhein described the rules earlier Also here, he said at the moment: “The three of us are divided equally. If there is more, we will give it to Brandt. After all, it was his idea.”

Obviously, the flexible-looking young man in the middle is Brandt. Rhine was very happy that he could see that someone chose to cooperate first, instead of more than 200 people all fighting alone.
