Chapter 174： Adler is to be sealed

In February, there was a sudden news in River City-John II wanted to admit Adler as an official knight ...

The whole family was pleasantly surprised. In fact, it was not easy for a son of a subdivisional knight who wanted to attack the knight. Generally speaking, it is not until the last knight is old that the new knight is seized. The old Huffman is now in his 40s, less than 50, and has not yet retired. Therefore, Adler would normally wait for several more years before he wanted to attack.

However, Marin was a big help to the Lamarck family this time. Because the younger brother became the head of the Teutonic Order, the popularity of the Lamarck family has recently increased, allowing John II to go out and have more face. Moreover, the Lamarck family can also obtain tangible benefits.

公 Although the Principality of Cliff and the Kingdom of Mack are underdeveloped, there are still several caravans in the hands of the Lamak family. On the Teutonic side, it is a well-developed area. Moreover, the grain, wood and fur in Eastern Europe are very cheap on the Teutonic side, and there are still a lot of profits for shipping back to the Rhine region.

Grain is just fine, after all, the area near the Rhine is also a food producing area, and there is no shortage of food here. However, wood and fur are in short supply.

Although there are some forests along the Rhine, there is not much wood. However, local timber is not what the market needs, it is all unmarketable timber.

欧洲 In Europe, the real wood sold is oak and pine. Needless to say, oak has always been the main ingredient of shipbuilding and house building. Not only that, Europeans are also accustomed to making barrels from oak and loading wine and beer. Therefore, the demand for oak is very high. In Western Europe, oak has been scarce due to heavy logging. As a result, the prices of local oak have risen a lot.

According to the news brought by businessmen, John II knew that there was still a large amount of oak in the Eastern Europe region where the development level was not high.

In addition to the low level of development in Eastern Europe, there are also local Eastern Europeans who use oak less. Because Eastern Europeans don't engage in great navigation. Therefore, not many people in Eastern Europe use oak to build ships. Shipbuilding is very costly in oak.

It is said that in Teutonic countries, the price of oak is less than half of the price on the Rhine. It is absolutely profitable to sell oak wood from Teutonic countries.

As for pine, it is also popular because of its unique aroma. However, because it is far less valuable than oak, demand is not great.

As far as fur is concerned, this kind of stuff is also very worthless in Eastern Europe. Because, further east, the Baltic region is the vast Eastern European steppe. There are more animals on the prairie. If you go to a few hunters, you can hunt a lot of prey. However, the preservation technology these days is backward, and only animal fur is available. It is better to preserve and can be sold over long distances.

西 In Western Europe, except for the sparsely populated areas such as the Black Forest and many animal resources, there are already few wild animals in other areas. Marin was able to hit a lot of prey in the Black Forest, because he rode into the forest. If it were outside, there would be no prey at all. Because most of these hunters couldn't afford horses and couldn't go deep into the forest, but they were cleaned up by the periphery of the forest.

Therefore, the price of animal fur in Western Europe is much more expensive than that in Eastern Europe, and the price is more than twice that of Eastern Europe.

Therefore, it is very profitable to sell oak from Eastern Europe or fur from Western Europe. As for the permission to enter the Teutonic Order, will there be problems with the Lamarck family as the new head of the group?

If it were not the Principality of Rivers and the Kingdom of Mark, both were landlocked princes, and there were no salt mines, and they could not get involved in the most profitable salt trade, John II wanted to insert a pole in the salt trade. However, in this era, salt was originally a strategic material and it was difficult for ordinary people to get it. Therefore, the Lamarck family can only abandon this piece of fat without a supply. However, the salt trade on Marin's side also promised to give 40% of the benefit to the head of Philip (after paying off the loan), which is quite good.

Uh ...

With the great benefits of fame and fortune, John II decided to thank the Huffman family. However, Marin was a big lord and he was very rich, and John II had nothing good to offer as a reward. However, there is a good way to thank the relatives of Marin and John II who is also Earl of Mark ...

For example, he can pre-adopt Adler as the official knight of Mark Birch ...

Sealing a knight is not difficult for John II. However, for young people like Adler who have no title, it is a qualitative leap. After being booked, Adler will change from a reserve noble to a true noble, and his identity will change tremendously.

Moreover, John II also stated that this time he would take out an extra piece of land and give it to the Huffman family. As for which plot of land, John II even allowed the Huffman family to choose as long as it was near the Huffman estate.

So, when John II sent someone to Dengbao to send a message saying that he would seal Adler as an official knight and promised to seal the land, everyone except Marin didn't feel much, and everyone was happy. Both father and son are active knights, which is relatively rare. Generally, the Cavaliers family will wait for the old to retire before the next generation will take over, but also pass a rigorous assessment.

And this time, John II was the equivalent of returning to Marin, so I explained that it was enough to let Adler go to the court ...

The eldest son's canonization of the knight is a very solemn matter for Huffman Manor. Therefore, the old Huffman decided to take action with his family.

In fact, the old Huffman has been complaining that the emperor's captivity of Marin was too casual for the baron and did not conduct a solemn ceremony ~ www.novelhall.com ~ did not invite his father to the scene to be glorious ...

So, for the first time to witness the promotion of the eldest son to the promotion of the knight, although the gold content is far less than the second son, but he can show his face, it is still very happy to the old Huffman.

Marlin was also thinking about whether to go, after all, he has a lot of work to do. However, Yancheng reported that the newly added salt cauldron lacked coal as fuel. Marin thought about it, so he decided to take a trip back to Mark Bo Country, by the way to attend Adler's promotion ceremony, and then talk about the issue of coal supply.

Not only that, Marin will also recommend finding a new coal mine when selecting new additions. Because, Marin has promised to give Adler a large arable land in the future. So, this time, Adler doesn't need to pick much arable land. In addition, a knight of the kingdom, his land area is also limited, not more than 500 Eugram. Therefore, choosing cultivated land is not as good as choosing coal mine. Anyway, this big customer can still purchase a large amount of coal in a long-term and stable manner, which can make the economic benefits of coal mines higher than cultivated land.

For this reason, Marin also plans to find a few master craftsmen who explore coal mines, and follow them to choose a new coal mine as a new fiefdom admired by Adler ...

Of course, everyone in the family will understand why John II seized Adler in advance and added a lot of land last time. Therefore, they will also respect Marin's opinion.

As a result, everyone from Huffman, including Angela, who went to see the lively, accompanied by hundreds of guards, rushed to Markberg, the capital of the country of Mark, to participate in the promotion ceremony of Adler ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Welcome the book readers to read, the latest, fastest and hottest serial works are available at ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Mobile users please read.
