There are even a bunch of people who take money and do nothing.

In terms of squeezing money, Huo Teng is also a capitalist hanging street lamps, and he has seen it a lot.

Huo Teng has his own solution, especially for those families with hundreds of acres of cultivated land but lack of financial means.He hoped that these people would give up their family territory and move to the Earl of Kassel, so he made a contract with these families. It is necessary to make up half of the contract fee, reclaim the territory they developed, and give some compensation.

In fact, unintentionally, Huo Teng accidentally figured out a truth when using the future operation.The territory will not be poor, the problem is only how the lord uses various means to grab wealth. In terms of high emotional intelligence, this is called increasing the control over the country.

The essence of improving the control of the country is that the government can understand the means of production, the amount of land and the operation of wealth, and can continuously extract money from them. This is centralization.So ancient history can also be the evolutionary history of centralization.On the way to England's struggle for hegemony, the people were as miserable as dogs, and they fled to the colonies to open up wasteland, which did not prevent England from reaching the pinnacle of hegemony.

Those who use money to test and guide like Huo Teng belong to the genius level.

The installment payment of fiefs is also a good way to improve the cohesion of the territory and provide a way for the lower classes to rise.

Some people may accuse Huo Teng of selling his official titles.But that must first take into account that national governance needs to be managed by a civilian government.However, in the Middle Ages, professional civil servants did not appear at all. There was neither systematic bureaucratic education and study nor systematic selection examinations. All villages lived and died under the management of knights and bosses.

In a place like this, what difference does it make if you sell it or not?

Before Huo Teng, there was no commercial profit-seeking behavior of deliberately extracting wealth from subordinates in installments.

After Huo Teng, every lord began to learn from him to use all means to carry out sustainable depletion of resources for his subordinates.Some unscrupulous people almost played out the Ponzi scheme.

……

After figuring all this out and successfully breaking through his moral lower limit, Huo Teng took Laura with him without any burden and gathered all the women in the family.

Delicate and charming, the very popular Goldilocks in the castle ran in first, looking like a little girl in front of her husband; the elegant and scheming Conoza changed into a beautiful long dress , arm in arm with Jones, followed by a restless Amelia.

First, Huo Teng explained his morally corrupt plan.He explained it very clearly, and even explained the crux of it, how to distribute, how to hype, and how to make the knight family pay a huge sum of money to buy the fief.

There are about [-] to [-] people in Kassel County, and more than [-]% of them are farmers.Naturally, it was impossible for Huo Teng to divide all of them into fiefs. He planned to keep [-] for himself and distribute [-] of them.

But not all of the [-] was allocated to the people of Göttingen, and the refugee nobles in Kassel needed to be appeased.

The two groups of nobles split in half, and one side gave five thousand.

Regardless of how little you give, Huo Teng has no moral integrity, and even plans to use the [-] people who have gone out to stabilize the [-] people. Allowing a large number of knights to bear huge debts can also stabilize the territory as a whole.

That's the reason, but it's impossible for Huo Teng to come out and tell the rich family, come to me to buy the territory, as much fief as you want.That's pure stupidity.

How expensive is this world, limited edition!

"I'm going to use the quota of [-] big fiefs to distribute to the knights who can pay this huge sum of money."

Huo Teng clenched his fist and said solemnly.

Since it is a village to be sold, it must not look bad, at least it is a big village that can house a dozen or twenty families and dozens of people.

"But how can there be so many villages on the territory. Besides, do the knight families in Göttingen really have so much money?" The wives all showed hesitation, fearing that Huo Teng would use too much effort to make money, so don't make all the territory angry. .

The nobles these days pay attention to collecting money and bury their money like landowners.

Huo Teng was convinced that after beating the nobles of Göttingen to the bone and sucking the marrow, it shouldn't be a problem to dig out three thousand gold.It's just that the price, normally speaking, is that Huo Teng may not be able to recruit combat-capable knights in the next few years, which will lead to defeat in the war, subversion of power, and so on.

What's abnormal is that Huo Teng doesn't necessarily need fief knights as the backbone. What he relies on most is the army he personally recruited.Therefore, the sustainable strategy of exhausting resources for fishing is feasible.

The women chirped and discussed.

The brilliant Goldis Diu and the shrewd and resourceful Conosha are the main decision makers.After carefully examining Huo Teng's money-making plan, the two women who didn't like each other thought it was too outrageous, but they had to admit that it was a very feasible and good plan.

"Our expectation is to receive 30 gold coins! Each fief asks for an average of [-] gold. I think this requirement is very low, and it may be less than the net income of this territory for three years. The rest who are willing to pay the cultivated land, What I want to install in installments is the long-term operating income in the future. Earn the gold coins minted by his three thousand monastery."

Huo Teng continued to hold out three fingers, indicating that he didn't ask for much.

Today's territories are not cheap, and an uncle country can sell tens of thousands of gold coins, and even requires good quality Roman gold.The reason why Huo Teng only had a net income of three to five years was mainly because he was afraid that he would not be able to squeeze out too much money and ruin the feudal nobles first.

On the other hand, it is natural to leave spare energy for these families to go over there to collect the beastmen, and this employment income is also part of the extra income.

After reconfirming that the plan was reliable, Huo Teng clapped his hands to encourage his family members: "Then take action and use your little brains to spread some gossip. Remember, it's not convenient to put this matter on the surface for the time being. Just treat it as me and A private transaction of nobles."

"We won't be punished by God, right?" Little Gottisdiu squeezed his pale hands, feeling guilty for a moment.

Huo Teng immediately picked her up, kissed her and said comfortingly, "What are you thinking about? God has already decided where your fate will go, and this boat will never go off course."

Huo Teng used his theory of fate to deceive people again.

But Gaudius laughed out of tears, she really believed it.

……

Finally, Huo Teng consulted Brother Morris about how to divide the territory.

"You want to sell part of Castle's territory?"

"Yes. This year is about to be another year of chaos. The king can't even stabilize the principality he controls. I have to plan ahead and prepare a batch of funds in advance. By the way, some nobles in our territory will be driven to Xinbang, Convenience controls also allow us to accommodate more recent immigrants."

Huo Teng talked about this year's plan without changing his face or heartbeat.

After Morris sat down and wrote on the sand table with a wooden stick, he praised Huo Teng contemptuously: "You are the seed of a good mathematician, but you are too fussy, like a Jew."

This is definitely swearing.

Huo Teng smiled: "This year's palace minister's fund is 500 gold."

Morris pulled his beard, remembered his monastery, and slapped his thigh: "Okay, I'll take care of it."

Chapter 210 Two

At this time, the transactions in the territory were not particularly frequent.

The land of the nobility changed hands, mainly due to political struggles.Each generation of emperors had to place their cronies to replace the lackeys left by the previous emperors.The power of Germany was once unified in the hands of Emperor Otto the Great, but the two generations of sons planted cronies everywhere, coupled with the resistance of the previous generation of dignitaries who were too big to lose, objectively dug their own foundation, and finally dug out the foundation, and the family collapsed.

So Huo Teng will never dig his own grave like the Otto family did.

Using an unreasonable metaphor, the Otto family is like Oda Nobunaga in the Azuchi-Momoyama period in Japan. The ministers were very bold and died very readily.After eating his loss, the old tortoise from Tokugawa was really stingy.

The life principle that Huo Teng learned from it was that he would rather be scolded as a stingy like the old tortoise than be burned to death in the Inneng Temple.

Of course, even if the current Huo Teng can be regarded as an old tortoise from Tokugawa, he might not even be as good as the Satsuma family who was hanged and beaten.

So Huo Teng chose the method, on the one hand, to let the Beastman hunting team appear between the castle and the city, to show his determination to beat the Beastmen, and on the other hand, to meet and chat with the nobles under him, and express emotion in the fields Although he wanted to bring Kassel back to life, he suffered from no money in his pocket and no one around him.

After a few days of hype like this, Göttingen really ignited the voice of discussing the expansion of Kassel County.The knights, who have won consecutive victories and followed Huo Teng to fight everywhere in the past two years, have saved a lot of money in their pockets. In addition to saving, they also confidently began to pursue more fiefdoms.However, the land of Göttingen has been divided by Horten, and at least [-]% to [-]% of it is directly under the village. The knights are divided into different places and can only seek to expand outward.Cassell was tasked with such a task.

According to the stock market, this is the beginning of stock trading.

With the task of stirring up hot topics, Adlaib went to the countryside to discuss with the knights and squires.

"Hey, shield boy, how do you discuss with our lord? Have you heard anything?" A country gentleman of a single-feathered light cavalry, wearing a soft hat and a cloak that does not belong to this class, shouted enthusiastically Adeleb.

These people are all from the township party near Bowendeng Village, and they have long-term contacts with the Huo Teng family. Some of them are even close old friends from their grandparents. They mainly ask old Schneider to sew clothes.They who formed the single-feathered light cavalry also belonged to a group of people who were both wealthy and lacking in status.

Adlaib is often called the shield boy because of his merits in training spearmen.

According to the common rules of the Middle Ages, Adeleb's surname can basically be determined as 'Scheide', which means shield in German.

Being called around, as a junior, Adlaib was also coy and didn't want to reveal the real situation.

But now, the adults who are old at heart and good at thinking about it are watching it in their hearts.They all found out that the grandson had something hidden in his pocket, and he didn't want to take it out.

"Quickly tell me, you are old and young, how can you not get married? I have a gentle and virtuous daughter in my family, and I will marry you in a few years." The man pulled Adlaib and walked towards his house.

Others were not happy, and someone criticized: "Your daughter is only 10 years old, how many years do you have the nerve to wait?"

"My daughter is 14 years old, and she happens to marry Shield Boy!"

"Oh, is it a general or a marriage?"

All these people said the truth, but they crowded into the room one after another, surrounded by Adlaib into the room.Everyone wanted to take advantage of it, but because there was too much movement, all the leading figures in the 11 villages connected around the Yachi River were summoned in a short while.

Dozens of squires surrounded Adlaib tightly, and the promised wife was about to be discharged from the harem to 36 concubines.

The young man finally caught the attention of everyone this time.

"That... Uncles, this is the case. The Earl did intend to entrust some old people to restore the fiefdom in the Earl of Kassel, drive out the Beastmen, and hired a group of Beastman hunting teams for this purpose. But ah ..." Before Adlaib finished speaking, the old gentry were unhappy.

"How can it be the old people? Ah, our relatives, the Xiangdang, don't count?"

"That's right. What old man, isn't he the knight who used to serve Bowen Deng's family? If you do this, what should we do?"

"If you want me to say, you should give us a share, can't you give nothing?"

The squires grew anxious.

They were afraid that the canonization this time would become a meal for the aristocratic group just like in the past.Give an upward channel, even if it is a leak?

You can't eat meat, so we can't even drink soup, we can only smell it, which is not fair at all.

This is the harsh reality.

Thought they would feel that it was too cruel, in fact, they even hoped that this kind of cruelty would be a little more.Isn't it just spending money and handing over land?Just give it.

It only takes half a lifetime to be in huge debts, and the family is raised, and becoming a nobleman of the fief is the great cause of several generations.

"Everyone, don't worry! I heard that the earl's family is short of cash, so it's a little nervous to buy dresses for the two fiancees and clothes for the son. Recently, they have raised a rare centaur, so..." Adlai Bu's words are always interrupted by adults in the middle.

Who made him say that he was not concise enough, but could make others guess the second half?

"Give me the money! It's not like we don't have money. If we pool our money together, we can squeeze out ten years' income from a fief." Someone shouted proudly.

"I can borrow some too."

"We can cooperate, and the three companies will develop a fief together."

Everyone's hearts are on fire.

It's not that I don't really have no money, it's just that I can't make it up temporarily.The mature fields in the Earl of Kassel cannot be abandoned. They will be replanted this year, and some livestock will be raised, and they will earn back in two years.

Seeing that his task tended to deviate from the topic, Adlaib hurriedly added: "I know that everyone is in difficulty, and the earl also has ideas. He thinks that he can use arable land as a replacement, or pay the bill in installments, and pay a little every year. It's just such a resistance." It's also very big, two fiancees, and Prime Minister Morris..."

Boom!

Everyone here squeezed out the door, ran home to get money or prepared church donations, and left Adlaib behind.

Looking at the room where he was suddenly alone, the young man couldn't help crying.

"What about marrying your daughter?"

……

Next, under Huo Teng's desperate operation, the most terrible corruption case ever occurred in Göttingen.

The country gentry from all over the country heard the news and moved. Three or four hundred households gathered together and lined up to give money to the eldest wife and the younger wife.

The wealth that Connorsa received piled up half the room, Godisdiu lived in the monastery, and the squires queuing up to deliver the money even crowded the back door.

Looking at the accumulated wealth, Kang Nuosha was completely in admiration of her little husband Huo Teng's accumulation ability, and that night Huo Teng couldn't get out of bed so well.

After receiving so much money, Goldis Diu first selected some exquisite ones and sent them back to the Duchy of Saxony as gifts. While presenting gifts to her father and brothers, she also told them that she is currently living very well in Göttingen. Don't worry too much.Then she saved all the money and prepared to bring it to Huo Teng tomorrow.

Jones and Amelia were also honored by this and received many gifts.

So, under the wind blowing by the pillows of his wife and relatives, Huo Teng reluctantly opened his mouth.

A total of 20 places will be allocated to [-] places for squires.

Now, the knight nobles are not happy.

Although the squires had a lot of trouble, these nobles were also happy to see the results, and persuaded Huo Teng to open more places so that they could assign their sons to start new businesses.

Now the persuasion is in place, but how can we give the mud legs so much share?Where do we put our faces?

So the nobles set their sights on Morris.

They prepared a large amount of church sponsorship fees, talked with Morris all night long, bombed them in turn, and finally 'forced' Morris to ask for a meeting with Huo Teng, and increased the quota to [-], of which [-]% was distributed to the squires.

After going on like this for more than a full month, Huo Teng finally managed to settle his shy treasury.

The knights won [-] places, and most of them paid a considerable amount of conferring fees. This kind of tax was regarded as an ancient inheritance tax. When a son inherited his father's territory, he often had to pay a considerable sum of money to the lord. Money is the only way for the son to inherit his father's business, otherwise he may be taken back as fief.

And the forty squires were allocated to more than 100 households.Most squire families could not support such a high bidding price, so they chose joint development, and three or four squires worked together.

But this still didn't seem to be enough. Huo Teng privately issued another [-] places through his wife, squeezed some less wealthy country gentry, and then allocated them to more remote areas, which was considered to satisfy this round of upsurge. territory needs.

Taking stock of this income afterwards, it reached more than [-] gold.

There are also installments and long-term income from hiring beastman hunting parties.

Huo Teng expressed pain and happiness.

"I have to discuss it with Morris, don't record this paragraph. It is suspected of hurting my image of being wise and martial."

Chapter 210 Three Crouching Dragon vs. Phoenix Young

After plundering a large amount of territorial wealth with ruthless tactics, Horten and Morris went to Fulda-Minden in person again, and discussed reinforcements with the increasingly notorious Viscount Oster.
