Start as Inherited Baroness

The next day, Simon slept until after eight o'clock.

After washing and eating breakfast, he put on his armor with the help of the armed maid.

"Mai Lan, go and summon the nobles of Beifeng to the Lord's Hall. We will hold a meeting today.

Call all the knights in the castle." Simon ordered.

"Yes! Baron!" Mai Lan responded.

While waiting for people to come, Simon opened the panel and took a look.

"Hey! Why did the loyalty change?" He was a little surprised.

He found that the loyalty values ​​of knights such as Ai Lei and Sarit had mostly become "die-hard", and so did Kailin.

Only Wall was still 100 points, which was no different from before.

"It turns out that when loyalty reaches a certain level, changes will appear on the panel. Die-hards should not drop anymore, right?

Wall has a background as a noble illegitimate child, which is really not good. He can't be raised well..." Simon thought to himself.

In fact, 100 points of loyalty is reliable enough, but suddenly a higher level appears, which often makes people dissatisfied with the previous situation.

Simon silently checked the other items on the panel. When he found no changes, he closed it and closed his eyes to think.

Not long after, knights such as Aire and Sarit arrived first, and the three newly-appointed honorary knights, Phyllis and others, also arrived.

"Meet the Baron!"

"Sit down!" Simon nodded at them and smiled faintly.

"Yes!" All the knights sat down on his right.

The noble sons of Beifeng came later because they lived in the outer city.

But they didn't wait too long and all arrived in a group.

"Meet the Baron!" They saluted respectfully and looked at the knights sitting at the long table.

"Sit down!" Simon smiled slightly and stretched out his hand to the left.

The second sons of the nobles of Beifeng sat down on the left.

"Today, let's discuss your future garrison positions in Sanshan Territory.

On this map, in addition to the places that have been granted, there is also this private land, which you can choose at will.

Let's discuss it and give me your opinions..." Simon got straight to the point and set the framework first.

There was silence in the lord's hall for a moment, and the nobles' second sons exchanged glances.

A viscount's second son with medium strength said, "Baron, will these garrisons be our fiefdoms in the future?"

"Haha, you are really impatient.

Okay! I'll speak frankly, you have not made any achievements at the moment, and there is absolutely no reason to reward you first.

Land can naturally be occupied by people with strength, and those who fish in troubled waters should withdraw as soon as possible.

I will give you two years. As long as you can establish actual ruling power near the garrison, that will be your fiefdom.

Two years from now, I will personally hold a ceremony for you to be granted a title!" Simon announced.

The noble sons looked at each other, whispered to each other for a while, and nodded, as if they had made up their minds.

Somir Mantav said respectfully: "Baron, your idea is good. We are willing to serve you.

Please allow us to become your honorary knights."

"Okay!" Simon nodded and agreed.

Then Somir Mantav took the lead to stand up, and the other noble sons of Beifeng also moved together, half kneeling on the ground.

Seeing this, Simon stood up slowly and drew his sword, and put it on his shoulder: "I! Simon Hollen, the Baron of Yongyi Territory! I will confer you as my honorary knights..."

"I! Somir Mantav is willing to serve you..."

The ceremony of conferring ended quickly.

Afterwards, the noble sons took their seats and began to study the topographic map of Sanshan Territory.

"Baron, don't you have too much private land? You see, there is no mountain barrier in this area, which is not conducive to..."

Somir Mantav said with a frown.

Simon looked at him, nodded, and said, "You have a point, but this area to the west must be reserved for ourselves, no negotiation."

At first, he marked about 1,000 square kilometers of private land on the map, and expected that these noble sons would not be happy.

Then Simon gave up more than 300 square kilometers, which was a big deal.

Sommier frowned slightly, he was still not satisfied, but it was inevitable that he would be a little greedy.

"Baron Simon's men are also very fierce, so we should stop while we are ahead..." he said in his heart.

"Yes! Just do as the adults said." He said.

Simon smiled slightly and nodded. The area of ​​the private land has exceeded psychological expectations.

As expected, you still have to ask for a high price and pay it back.

Then, it was a battle for the noble sons of Beifeng.

At first, they talked in a low voice, and gradually they had a quarrel, and finally they inevitably blushed.

Simon looked at this scene calmly, with a slight smile on his lips, and carefully examined these people.

It didn't take long to see who was closer to whom and which ones formed small groups.

The two earl's second sons were obviously not on good terms, but Ironwall was stronger than Snowrun Castle, so Thormier was also much stronger.

They had been discussing for several hours, but they hadn't come to a conclusion yet.

"Hey! Stop for a moment!" Simon was a little impatient and couldn't help but say.

The noble second sons looked at him and gave him face, so they all stopped talking.

"Which areas are still in dispute? Those with strong strength will choose first, and those with similar strength will draw lots, that's it!" Simon announced.

"Yes!" They also knew that it was not a good idea to keep arguing, and usually a mediator was needed at this time.

The subsequent meeting went much more smoothly, and not long after, all the noble sons selected their respective garrisons.

"Okay, you will set off tomorrow.

The bandits in Sanshan Territory are very strong, so you must be mentally prepared. Those with weak strength should stick together."

This was Simon's closing remarks at the meeting.

He was a little impatient to send these people away. After all, it was an army of more than 7,000 people, and they would shit more than 10,000 times a day.

If they stayed outside the city for a few more days, I'm afraid they would have to clean up the grass.

"Yes! Baron! We will definitely wipe out the bandits!" The noble sons of Beifeng Land promised confidently.

"Dismissed!" Simon shouted with full energy.

The noble sons immediately stood up and saluted, then walked out of the lord's hall.

The knights just stood up and didn't move.

"Mad, how many free people are there in the territory recently?" Simon asked.

"Sir, there are more than 40,000. Now that the weather is getting warmer, the number of immigrants has increased significantly.

In addition, there are more people fleeing famine in Xigodi. They are poor and don't know how to settle them." Mad responded.

"For those who are willing to be degraded to serfs, I will provide food and shelter and put them in the slave manor.

For those who are unwilling, let them figure it out on their own. If they make trouble, they will be killed without mercy!" Simon pondered for a moment and said so.

Now it is close to the harvest season, but his food reserves have also touched the red line, and there is no surplus food to squander.
