prince of europe in quintiles

He has de facto conquered the Thuringian region and is considered half a duke.At this time, it is a bit aggrieved to regard the daughter of the Eckard family, who was like a yellow flower yesterday, as the eldest son and daughter-in-law.

"In this case, let her marry my only son, the successor of the Earl of Paderborn, Günter." Huo Teng said: "Gunt will inherit Paderborn when he grows up, which is also from the Saxon region. A land of plenty. This is no wrong to Oda."

In this way, Oda became Günter's fiancée, even a child bride.

Afterwards, Earl Val and Mrs. Selina were satisfied with the marriage. They even took the initiative to bring Oda and Günther to Paderborn for a short stay, so that the adopted son and the couple could get in touch with people and things here since they were young.

After solving the two sources of jurisprudence in Thuringia, Huo Teng presented the evidence openly and began to collect people who attended the meeting.

As the speaker, he was originally sent by the Archbishop of Mainz to help Bishop Dimar get a vote.

Then, Horten launched six city-states, that is, six economic and trade cities headed by Erfurt, Gotha, and Weimar, where the indigo textile economy is the mainstay, each with one vote.Half of them still don't obey Huo Teng's discipline, but that's okay, as long as they are given the title of parliament, presumably they, with their humble political status, would be happy to vote in favor of hanging themselves.

Huo Teng got one vote himself, so that's eight votes.

Then, Huo Teng took out his identity as the Viscount of Millhouseburg, and brazenly counted his nine votes.

Then came the banquet guests, looking for local powerful people in various regions of Thuringia to come to participate in the election of the parliament.

At this moment, a scene that surprised Huo Teng appeared.

The Thuringian tyrants began to quarrel with each other, and even attacked the opponent's castle, because in addition to the confirmed seats, there were dozens of noble seats that could be listed among the voters.Nobody wants to be left behind.

This caused Huo Teng to appease these aggressive Thuringian nobles, and at the same time, he had to win them over to vote for him in this puppet meeting.

As a result, by the time the meeting took place, the time had come to the end of October.

More than 72 representatives participated in the meeting, with a total of [-] votes.

Today, the weather is fine.

Standing at the door of the church, Huo Teng whispered to Di Marr, "Thanks for fighting each other. Now everyone is sweating profusely, and I just want to go back and recuperate."

As the speaker, Bishop Dimar logically pointed out Huo Teng's mistake: "It's not that they are sweating profusely from exhaustion, it's because you are exhausted from walking."

"Almost the same thing."

Huo Teng laughed loudly and pushed open the door of the church. More than [-] noble families and representatives of six city-states were sitting on the benches, sulking at each other.

There is no suspense about the next election.

Firstly, Dimar proposed: "Today, we gathered here precisely to let this country that has been divided for a hundred years elect a real speaker. Now, if you agree that we should elect a duke, please raise your hand!"

Raise your hand?

It would be nice if the nobles didn't give you two slaps.

The Thuringian stared fiercely at Horten in the front row, feeling that he had been deceived.When I came here, I clearly mentioned the election of a leader, but did not mention the election of a duke.

Of course, there were very few people who raised their hands, and Dimar pushed the boat smoothly: "Okay, I believe everyone's choice is wise. The number of people in favor is too small, and this proposal is temporarily shelved. The second proposal, although it is too early to elect a duke, I and everyone agree , Thuringia must have a leader to lead. We call it the 'lord' to lead everyone forward. Those who wish to vote for Count Horten as the lord now please raise your hand."

At this moment, Huo Teng turned around, showing a ferocious and majestic expression.

The representatives of the towns around him hurriedly raised their hands together, and many of the nobles who had been bribed and tired thought that electing Huo Teng as the lord was better than splitting.

So Huo Teng finally relied on bribery, estrangement and division, and won 38 votes. With a difference of two votes, he was almost not elected.

It can also be seen from this that Horten still has a long way to go if he wants to completely rule Thuringia.

When the meeting was over and Huo Teng was about to check the attributes of the Thuringian lord, a familiar prompt sounded.

[Sub-task: I did not complete it cowardly. 】

[Control the city of Erfurt for three months, get the architectural blueprint: Leveling the Mine (Level 1)]

This building must have been specially tailored by the system for Huo Teng, and it was used for mining in the Harz Mountains.

When it comes to mining, one has to mention the huge amount of gold ore.

Coincidentally, the eldest princess's Quedlinburg Abbey has the ability to mint coins.

Chapter 260 The Sixth Mistress Chases the Queen

[Congratulations on unlocking: Thuringian lord, within the territory of Thuringia, can promote local economy, trade and resource output. 】

[Congratulations on unlocking: The Emperor's Road Commercial Station building can be built in all cities on the Emperor's Road trade line to promote business flow and resource output.At present, ten cities such as Göttingen and Notheim can be built. 】

[Congratulations on unlocking: Thuringian Fast Horse Transformation. 】

[Thuringian fast horse resources: speed +15%, load +20%, charge power +30%.Requires Noble Stables. 】

As in the past, as a place emphasizing resource production and commercial trade, the capabilities provided by the Thuringian lords are also biased towards the direction of economics and trade.In addition to increasing Huo Teng's legitimacy, the title of lord can also promote economic and trade development and prosperity, which is very similar to Huo Teng's ability.

Huo Teng is a good hand in production and economics and trade.

As for the Emperor's Road trade route, from France to Eastern Europe, from Northern Europe to Italy, Göttingen and Thuringia happen to be at the crossroads, and all ten cities in the two places can build trading stations to absorb the golden trade cross route. Rolling gold.

Since Huo Teng is not yet a serious Thuringian lord, he has not unlocked important duke-level legendary units.

According to normal standards, each duchy has its own unique legendary unit.The Principality of Saxony has the Black Dragon Knights.And Huo Teng has never seen the special legendary army, in Franconia because the duke was unloaded there; the legendary army of the Duchy of Upper Lorraine, in the hands of his uncle Adler, was not handed over to the Grand Duke and the military. steward.

It is said that the legendary army of the Principality of Thuringia is a group of Pegasus knights.

By October, the cold winter is coming.

Huo Teng looked east and found that the Saxons and Poles were still trying their best to squeeze the people and try to gather food and grass. Before they could fight a death war, they began to repatriate and return to the fiefs and troops who took the initiative to participate in the battle. When recruiting farmers, mainly keep the troops directly under you to be vigilant.

In addition to this, Horten put his main energy on the construction of Göttingen and the political agenda of combining Göttingen and Thuringia.

In Huo Teng's words, this is called the Great Construction Movement.

Huo Teng launched three major plans respectively. The first is to upgrade the Free City of Göttingen from a first-class town to a second-class city, expand the city, widen the roads, and make this inner city that is already small and useless.The bloated streets and indistinguishable, pie-like town layout have been greatly optimized.

The second big plan is to build a professional mine in the Viscount Country of Harz Mountains to mine brass and the associated gold and silver mines.However, although there are a lot of these accumulated ores, they still need skilled craftsmen to forge them into coins. However, Göttingen has not broken through this technology for a long time, and the coins minted are of poor quality and ugly.

The third item is to take advantage of winter to issue corvee certificates to farmers in Thuringian villages to repair east-west roads.In Germany, every farmer has to provide at least one month of free labor for his master in winter, so Huo Teng's behavior of taking away farmers during the slack season has not encountered much challenge.Horten took advantage of this opportunity to build several roads from Göttingen to Erfurt, piling up rammed earth to widen the straight roads.

These three programs are very expensive and require the overall planning ability of managers.But it just so happens that Huo Teng is currently taking over the Principality of Thuringia like a snake, and has extracted thousands of wealth by squeezing Erfurt, Gotha and other cities.So Horten specially appointed Friar Morris as Prime Minister of Göttingen; he appointed historian Dimar as Prime Minister of Thuringia.The two are independent of each other, each governing their own territory, and managing the tasks and constructions entrusted to them by Huo Teng.

By the way, Huo Teng can currently recruit two types of elite affairs officers, the first is the political secretary, and the second is the sergeant captain.

Huo Teng recruited two more government secretaries and placed them in the subordinate cities to strengthen his control.

He also recruited more than a dozen butlers among general affairs officers to run real estate estates and manors in various parts of Thuringia, manage roads, vehicles and bridges, and initially control the key nodes of this huge territory.

……

Just when Huo Teng was leisurely and leisurely making great efforts to build his own country, building mines, and building the second-level free city of Göttingen, Huo Teng elected the lord of Thuringia on his own and appointed historian Di The news that Marr became the prime minister of Thuringia soon reached the king's ears along the southward trade route.

"What happened?"

The young little queen is wearing a close-fitting and soft pajamas, and the curly hair on her forehead seems to prove that she has just woken up from a nap, and her delicate and white cheeks are full of naivety and innocence.

Seeing the little queen in pajamas walking out of the bedroom, the maid hurriedly surrounded the queen into the room, and persuaded in a low voice: "That bad woman is in the study, please don't show her face."

Little Queen Matilda's face was swollen with anger when she heard about this woman.

She gritted her teeth and scolded, but in the end she was exhausted, and was surrounded by the bed by the maids, constantly comforting the kitten-like queen who had blown her fur.

That villain is not King Conrad's mistress.

Conrad has lived on the southeastern border for a long time, in the Principality of Carinthia in today's Austria and Slovenia, and his mistress is naturally from there.Since the king declared his chastity last year and decided to live in the Principality of Swabia for a long time, the mistress found that the king had no money or status and went home by herself.

The identity of this woman is very sensitive now. She is the dean of a women's convent in Lindau City on the east bank of Lake Botten, where the Castle of Constance is located.

Lindau, which is said to mean Bodhi tree, but no one at this time knew what a Bodhi tree was.Lindau is a centuries-old city. It was originally just a nunnery where the wives, daughters or mothers of the Swabian nobles lived.With the development of the women's convent, a rich town gradually formed.

It was nothing at first, but last month, everything changed.

Conrad took an oath of chastity, and he couldn't easily break the vow, which made people notice that there was a huge difference between the character he created and his actual conduct.Therefore, when the great king wants to solve his personal desires, he can only hide in the deserted study room and work hard with his own hands.

The king, who was so angry that he was about to get angry, even asked around, looking everywhere for where the prostitute's den was.

At this time, a small nobleman in Konstanzburg overheard the king's desire and secretly told Conrad that there were prostitutes in the Lindau City Women's Convent.

This is the disadvantage of women's convents operating in crowded places.Although many nuns are from aristocratic families, there are still many nuns from poor families. Under the oppression of power, they can only work as prostitutes to comfort clients and earn extra money for the dean.As the situation develops, just like the slave trade in Northeast Germany, powerful women have no protection from their fathers and brothers, and they will also be involved in prostitutes.

Lindau Abbey was exposed more than once as a den of prostitutes, as local civilians occasionally saw the abandoned corpses of babies on the side of the road.

But under the ingenious technique of the female dean, every investigation ended without a problem.The women within the high wall all spread their legs towards the client while she was being raped.

This female dean is the sister of the little nobleman.

The sex-hungry king then used the clumsy excuse of 'going to the monastery to pray' and rode dozens of miles to the Lindau nunnery to visit prostitutes.You love me, and they seduce each other. King Conrad quickly fell to the point where he openly lived with the female dean and flied together.

It just so happened that the female abbot was also a religious person, and there were fewer gossips, which made the king quite happy.

This is also the reason why Matilda did not dare to appear in front of her. In this small court, Matilda's power is actually not as good as this big bustard.

This woman's name is Ryana, which means "a woman who is good at matching" in German. When you think about her identity as a procuress, you can't help but feel dumbfounded.

"Your Majesty, in my opinion, this Huo Teng is a bird who wants to fly when he grows up, and a cat who wants to be wild when he grows up. I'm afraid I won't take you seriously. If you still want to control Huo Teng, you have to give him a hard blow." Lesson." Mistress Rhianna kneaded Conrad's shoulders, reminding her tenderly.

Both are now dressed in monkish attire, pretending to be at mass.But a woman with her lower body in a mess, and a man lying on the bed with his lower body naked, no one would think that this is a pure relationship.It even resembles a classic yellow oil painting.

"I know, I know... well, it's all because I'm not the son of Otto III, otherwise why would this be the case." Conrad had just enjoyed the physical pleasure, but he couldn't hide his spiritual sadness.

In fact, according to the usual operation of the emperor's ascension to the throne, it is a daily operation to arrange cronies to serve as dukes and earls in places.

But Konrad himself has a high family background but an unorthodox inheritance, and his diplomatic methods are so bad that few allies are enemies. Huo Teng, who he supported in the middle, soon showed his rebellious nature.In other words, he even began to doubt life at this moment.

"But you have to win over Huo Teng."

Although Ryana is a procuress who sucks human blood, she is also very good at winning people's hearts. She pretends to please: "Your other ally, the Duke of Bavaria, has been busy building churches and holding mass every day since he took office. What's his great use? You still need Huo Teng to help you support the foundation in the middle. You should bear with it."

Conrad thought about it, and found that the mistress had some ideas.

He had to swallow his anger and tell Huo Teng not to completely rebel against his side.

"I have another idea. You might as well send the little queen to live in Erfurt temporarily. I heard that Huo Teng has no mother, but his childhood adoptive mother was the eldest princess, and you were the eldest princess to help nominate at the Imperial Council. You let Wouldn't it be good for the little queen and Huo Teng to bond with the eldest princess?"

Seeing that her idea worked, Rhianna hurried to other tricks, trying to drive Matilda out of the king's court.

It is indeed the first time in all ages that the mistress drives the queen out.

But feeling relieved, King Conrad, who regarded Ryana as his military adviser, actually agreed, and even thought this idea was very good.

Rhianna immediately arranged staff to half forcefully drive the little queen out of Konstanzburg.

With tears in her eyes, little Matilda, holding her little bag, drove north with tears in her eyes.

at the same time.

The Billund family of Saxony also felt that their toes had been stepped on when the Duchy of Thuringia, which had been in their hands for a hundred years, was taken away by Horten.
