King of German Mercenaries

"Marin, I support your choice. But what about Adler's interests? He gave up his inheritance rights in writing, so what will he get?" Mrs. Mary thought for a long time and asked Marin.

In fact, this is what Lady Mary wants for Adler. She also understood that without Marin, East Friesland could not be recaptured. However, for Adler, the eldest who should have the first right of inheritance, Mrs. Mary still has to maintain some. Although her favorite son is Marin, it does not prevent her from fighting for the interests of the boss.

After thinking about it, Marin was right. He really needed to pay for letting Adler give up his inheritance rights. Otherwise, let Adler give up his inheritance in vain, and there must be thorns in people's hearts. Moreover, if Adler persists and does not give up, he really has nothing to do.

So, after thinking about it, he said:

"If Adler is willing to renounce his inheritance in writing, once I take East Friesland, I will make Adler a hereditary baron and give him a barony!"

"This condition is okay, but you can't give that kind of barren land, it has to be fertile land..." Mrs. Mary nodded and continued to bargain.

"Okay, Mom, how about Lyle County to the south? It's on the Ames River, the land is fertile, and I'll give Adler 2,000 Eugrams of arable land there..."

"Well, very good..." Mrs. Mary nodded, very satisfied. Having grown up in East Friesland, she is well aware of the geographic location of Lyle County. Because, for a long time, she and her father were hiding in Lyle County.

"Is it fine over there? Mother." Adler asked suspiciously.

"Of course it's fine, idiot. Your brother takes good care of you. Mother has lived in Lys County and knows what's going on there. It's arguably the most fertile place in East Frisian territory. Because , Lyell County is right on the banks of the Ems River, with convenient irrigation and fertile land. It is the most developed place in East Frisian agriculture. But your brother said that the 2000 Ugram arable land is not the total area. It is arable land. You know, our family’s ancestral territory has a fief of 500 Eugrams (not counting the place we bought later), but the arable land is only 100 Eugrams. Marin said that he will give you 2000 Eugrams of arable land. , equal to 20 times the area of ​​our farmland before!" Mrs. Mary said with a smile.

The conditions offered by Marin are indeed very generous. You know, one Eugram is equal to 12 acres. According to the Eastern algorithm, 2,000 Ugrams equals 24,000 mu of arable land. You must know that Liu Wencai, a big landlord in Zhenchuan before liberation, only had more than 10,000 mu of arable land at home.

The territory of East Friesland is full of swamps, and there is not much arable land. Therefore, it is indeed very sincere for Malin to come up with 24,000 mu of arable land, and it is still the arable land in the most fertile area.

Even though agriculture in Europe was underdeveloped at this time, there were 24,000 mu of land, which was equal to the income of several thousand mu of land in the contemporary Ming Dynasty. Anyway, there are so many places, Adler will definitely live well in the future.

Therefore, when this condition was opened, not to mention the old Hoffmans, Adler was also very satisfied. After all, he doesn't need to pay anything, as long as he signs, he can get so many benefits in the future. Even Liv, who was scheming, stopped talking at this time. Thinking that she would become a landlady of 2000 Eugram's fertile farmland in the future, Liv felt happy when she thought about it. In fact, she also knew that her husband was far less capable than Marin. Just now, she and Marin raised the bar, on the one hand, because of their personality, on the other hand, they also meant to fight for her husband's benefits. In this kind of thing, it is not suitable for a husband to come forward, it is better for a woman to come forward, and at the same time it does not hurt the brother's peace.

"Your younger siblings..." At this time, old Hoffman said...

"I..." Marin was really unable to complain. Adler gave him a baron because he gave up his inheritance rights in writing, which cleared obstacles for himself, and it was considered a contribution.

But what did the brothers and sisters pay for? Could it be that the old man still strives to make his younger brothers and sisters a baron?

Even Mrs. Mary felt that the old man had done a little too much, so he secretly pulled old Hoffman's clothes.

"When I conquer East Frisian, two younger brothers, each with a manor, the size of our family, and a knighthood. When my sister gets married, I will pay for the dowry..." Marin said speechlessly.

It's no wonder that Marin gave his younger brothers lower treatment, because in aristocratic families, non-eldest sons are indeed not treated much, and they are completely incomparable to eldest sons. Therefore, Marin gave Adler a baron, to his younger brothers and sisters, and could only be treated as an ordinary knight or a knight. Even so, it was Marin, the elder brother, who took special care of his younger siblings. After all, Marin is not obligated to raise younger siblings either. After all, everything he did was not inherited from old Hoffman, but hard earned by himself.

"Well, it's very good!" In fact, Old Hoffman didn't want Marin to make his two younger sons barons. The wandering knight went out to wander and work hard.

In fact, even if Hoffman Sr. didn't say it, Marin would say something. After all, he is not a stingy person.

After everything was settled, the atmosphere among the family became harmonious again. When Marin brought the parchment, ink, quill, and pad, everyone happily began to sign.

Adler happily signed, expressing his renunciation of the inheritance of the counties of East Friesland, and pressed his fingerprints. Of course, this document also stated that after Marin won East Frisland, he must honor the 2000 Eugram arable land and the title of baron in Lyle County.

Mrs. Mary also signed, indicating that the earlship was directly passed on to Marin. Then, after the document is signed, Marin will directly plan to attack East Friesland as the count of East Friesland.

When Marin took out the forged paper that old Earl Bullock awarded the title of old Savannah, the whole family was stunned...

Mrs. Mary took up the paperwork in surprise and looked left and right. What shocked her was that this document, no matter how you looked at it, looked like a real document, and it was quite a few years old. However, in her memory, her grandfather had never signed such a document, and her father had never said anything about it.

"Marin...this...is this true?"

"I asked a master to do it, but, as of today, it's real, it has to be real!" Marin didn't reveal the fact that he was the "master forgery" because it was disgraceful. If it was rumored that he was a master of forgery, he would be laughed at by other nobles for a lifetime.

Mrs. Mary instantly understood what Marin meant. With this document as an endorsement, her parents' marriage would no longer be an intermarriage between nobles and concubines. Madame Marie was then instantly the rightful heir to East Frisland.

"But how should this document be interpreted?"

"It's very simple, you said that it was your grandfather who deliberately concealed and did not announce it in order to protect you from being hunted down..."

Marin's argument is very reasonable. In the case that Mrs. Mary's family is being hunted down, her father, as the legitimate heir, must be hunted down. And Mrs. Mary, if she was also the rightful heir, would be hunted down endlessly.

And if Mrs. Mary's father deliberately concealed the documents, so that the outside world thinks that Mrs. Mary is the descendant of an intermarriage of nobles, then Mrs. Mary is no longer the target of pursuit. Because a child without inheritance rights cannot shake the status of the current count of East Frisland. The children of noble concubine intermarriage, like illegitimate children, cannot inherit the title of existence. Therefore, Mrs. Mary has lived safely until now, and no one has thought about killing her. At the beginning, Old Hoffman was able to save Mrs. Mary because the assassin had no motive to kill her at all. Only Lady Mary's father, as the legitimate heir to the old Earl of Bullock, was the target of assassins.

Then, Marin and his family unified the caliber. Once he sends troops to occupy East Frisland in the future, the family will insist that this document is real, and it is only hidden for the safety of Madame Marie.

Moreover, even if they find an appraiser to appraise the old documents, they will not be able to see the authenticity of the documents. Because, Marin is professional in this area.

In a previous life, Marin's high school classmates once thought of pulling Marin into the gang of making false certificates, because Marin's ability to imitate handwriting is too strong. To this end, that classmate also taught Marin to carve stamps with radishes. You must know that when making fake certificates, the fake graduation certificate has the signature of the principal. Marin's ability to imitate handwriting can be used to imitate the signature of a university president...

But in the end, Marin still did not agree to join. Because it is a crime to make false evidence, and if the public security department finds out, it will be jailed. Although Marin didn't do well, he couldn't starve to death, so there was no need to take risks.

However, although he did not participate in forgery in his previous life. But Marin, who had learned a full set of forgery techniques, used it in his life to create a knighthood awarding document that benefited him immensely.

"However, general official documents must be archived, and documents that are not archived are invalid..." Mrs. Mary said again hesitantly.

Indeed, no matter if it is the imperial decree of the East or the legal documents of the West, in addition to those issued to me, there must be an official archive for every authorized document. The two documents are compared to have legal effect.

However, this does not fail Marin:

"Mom, it's very simple, just say that the archive was secretly destroyed by the Ukner family who betrayed the Brock family."

"According to what you said, if the Serksner family knew that the Savannah family had this document, they should have continued to hunt down your mother." Old Hoffman interjected.

"Yes, that's right, but did you notice my father? As I said just now, the archive of that document was destroyed by the Ukner family (the one who took the lead in betraying the Brock family). The Ukner family was in power before. By the time the Serksner family was in power, this archive no longer existed. Therefore, it is normal for the Serksner family not to know that there is such a document, and of course they will not hunt down their mother. As long as the grandfather, the heir, dies , they thought they could sit back and relax... Moreover, although my mother's grandfather, Mr. Savannah, was a commoner, he was also a businessman who served the Bullock family. …”

"Well... what you said makes sense..." Old Hoffman was speechless.

After discussing it for a while, everyone felt that Marin's excuse was flawless, and then they made up their minds.

The family quickly unified their minds, except that the document was unanimous. Also, it needs to be kept secret for the time being. It was not until Marin took East Friesland that the instruments, including Adler's renunciation of the inheritance, to prove Marin's "legitimate" and "orthodox" status...
