From pioneer lord to king

Chapter 99 Touring the Territory (Additional 4K)

Businessmen are also synonymous with low status in this world. No matter how much money they have, businessmen can only be businessmen and will never reach the status of nobles.

For the nobles, the big merchants are piggy banks waiting to be smashed open. If there is no money, just smash one.

Just like Ryan before, he directly threatened them with force to make them spit out the benefits that were enough to make them heartache. Although they refused to accept it, they couldn't resist, and they didn't dare to resist.

The nobles are protected by the laws of the kingdom, but the merchants are not protected, and the lord is not responsible even if he kills them.Conversely, if they kill the lord, it will be a disaster, and it won't be long before the kingdom's army will let them know what it means to be noble.

So, even if they refuse to accept, even if they hate Ryan to the bone, as long as they are not sure of getting out, they will not do anything to Ryan.

On the contrary, these businessmen have great power in Karna, and their tentacles spread all over the territory, whether it is food, clothing, housing, transportation, or the army, government affairs officials, and even servants around Ryan may have their tentacles.

If Ryan doesn't want to completely kill the fish, he will naturally not do anything to them easily. The last time was just a compromise that weighed the pros and cons.

Just like Ryan knew that the three major businessmen had colluded with the "Apostle of the Evil God", but still did not take any measures against them, it was also a temporary compromise.

However, it is impossible for Ryan to play the trick of pretending to be a snake with these people all the time. This time, he directly used himself as the bait to lure the snake out of the hole.

You wait for the opportunity, then I will give you the opportunity, first cut off some of their wings, then boil the frogs in warm water, gradually differentiate, and fight with each other. In this regard, he still has Canon, which has been idle for a long time!
Ryan made his purpose very clear, and it was Drey's turn for a while, and both of them fell into deep thought.

"It is enough for me to lead a large team. If there are too many people, it will scare them."

If it wasn't for the sake of insurance, he would have to cut half of the manpower of this brigade.

After breaking through to a senior knight, he became more confident.

The two looked at each other, seeing that Ryan was so persistent, they had no choice but to agree and compromise, taking the risk this time.

"After De Lai returns, he can disclose the news, don't make it too obvious, and then closely monitor the officials of the government affairs department. You don't need to stare at them all, just watch those few important departments.

Allen also needs to pay attention to the army, and after I leave the city, you have to pay close attention to the city, and if there is any disturbance or turmoil, send troops to suppress it directly.

Doman City is the base camp, no matter what happens, there must be no chaos in the city.If it succeeds this time, most of the unstable factors in Cana City will be eliminated. "

Ryan stood up with a solemn and majestic voice. He is not good at any tricks, and he has only one power to break through all methods!

"Follow your orders!"

……

Soon, the news that the lord wanted to go out of the city to inspect the territory was leaked, and an official from the main department of the government affairs department asked for leave, and some low-level officials were also ready to move.

Even in the army that most supported Ryan, some people couldn't bear it anymore, especially the soldiers of the old city defense battalion, which experienced frequent changes.

Both Dreyer and Allen saw this, and felt a little startled. There were far more people infiltrated than they thought, and these people planned to start before the lord left the city.

But the good news is that they don't have a unified organization, otherwise there wouldn't be such a scene where many people change at the same time...

Kanon looked at the news in his hand in the mansion, and his expression was a little cloudy. Although he has been huddled at home these days, his eyes and ears to the outside world have never been blocked.

His family had already taken root here when Kanarin was first developed. The family power was as intertwined as an old tree, and it had a good influence in all aspects.

Whether in the army or the government affairs office, he has friends or eyes and ears, and he knows everything, but as long as it is not top-secret information, he can get it.

He believed that other people also had such ability to some extent, especially the two families of Amisha and Mirza.

"Heh, what a great opportunity for the lord to go on patrol. If it were me, I would definitely be unable to bear it. In a short period of time, the lord has already shown extraordinary strength and means, and he has shown great strength to us. hostility.

If we don't get rid of him when he is not firmly established, and when he is full-fledged in the future, this Kanna will have no place for us at all. For us who have already tasted the taste of power, it is simply too unacceptable.

I just don’t know which one of you is more prepared. "

Thinking of this, Kanon turned his gaze to another piece of paper in his hand, which said to let him stare at all powerful businessmen.

Needless to say, that was the order Ryan gave him.

Seeing this, as long as you have a long brain, you will understand the connection, that's why he sighed like this.

No matter from which point of view, he hopes that Ryan will win, because if something happens to Ryan, he will be in a bad situation.

Thinking of this, he didn't have any hesitation, so he directly called his confidant butler and whispered a few words to him.Not long after, all the eyes and ears raised in Kanon's mansion spread out...

As he expected, Amisha, Mirza and many merchants had quietly gathered together.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I believe you have all heard the news from various sources. I would like to say that this is a rare opportunity for us."

Amisha was wearing a glamorous long dress, and said with a smile.

The rest of the people were noncommittal to her words, and they all quietly waited for the next sentence, but their hearts were already full of turmoil.

"That's right, I believe everyone is aware of the baron's attitude towards us and the way he acts. In such a short period of time, those mud-legged people have already forgotten who is the real owner of this territory.

It is too dangerous to go on like this, you should understand, judging from his handwriting, he is not a poor ghost and a fool like the previous lords.

Continue like this and we'll lose the initiative completely, so we need a new lord who is willing to live with us. "

Mirsa's eyes were fierce, he couldn't bear it anymore.Killing a nobleman was something he had never even thought about before. This feeling excited him.

Everyone in the meeting looked at each other, and they could all see the glint in each other's eyes.

"Mr. Mirza, your proposal is very tempting, but once it is exposed, we will all have to play with you." A wealthy businessman stood up and said.

"Hehe, don't pretend, whoever can come here doesn't know who, I very much agree with Mr. Mirza's point of view, we need a new lord.

It's just that I have a question, doesn't Mr. Canon know about such a big thing?At this time, we need his strength very much. I know there are some misunderstandings among you, but at this time, everyone should let go of their prejudices. "

The other person stood up and sneered a few words, and then turned his attention to Mirza and the two. Kanon represented nearly one-third of the power of the Kanna merchant class, and it would definitely be safer if the other party was there.

The rest of the people nodded their heads when they heard the words. Many people found that none of Kanon and the businessmen close to him came, but no one pointed it out.

Mirsa's face turned livid when she heard the words, she snorted coldly and said nothing, and Amisha on the side also said with an ugly expression: "Kanon and we are no longer the same way, maybe this time it will become our obstacle .”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and they were all a little puzzled. They could see that the three major merchants must have split, but they didn't expect it to reach this point.

Seeing that the two didn't explain the meaning too much, they also wisely didn't ask any more questions, it's better not to know the inside story.

"Since this is the case, the things we discussed may not be very stable. Maybe the lord is ready."

"That's why we can't hold back the slightest bit this time, we must use all our strength to make that Lord Baron unable to escape!" Mirza said as he slapped the table and looked around the crowd.

"Now the access restrictions are very relaxed. I have already bribed the officers who defend the city. As long as Hans is not patrolling the city defense, our men can completely sneak out of the city."

Seeing that everyone was still a little hesitant, Amisha also quickly threw out the chips in her hand.

"I'll put someone in the government affairs hall, and I can get the lord to go to the inspection route." Mirsa also continued to increase the size.

"Since we have reached this point, there is nothing to worry about. The baron is only human. As long as we are united, he will surely escape!" Someone stood up and echoed, as if he was going all out.

"That's right, I also have eyeliners in the army, so I can check out who the baron is traveling with."

"I am here……"

One after another, the businessmen stood up and began to show their trump cards. Soon, a complete plan surfaced...

Some of their actions were under Ryan's surveillance. Although they only showed the tip of the iceberg, Ryan also knew that the strength they gathered was absolutely extraordinary.

Even so, Ryan's plan was still not dispelled. The more the opponents gather, the less fish will slip through the net in the future.

Soon a brigade mobilized by Allen was in place. They were all carefully selected soldiers from the "Tuntian Army". They were relatively reliable and equipped with the best equipment.

"How is their training?" Looking at the soldiers in front of them who are very energetic, Ryan is quite satisfied.

What he wants is to seriously injure or even wipe out the opponent. With a small number of people, elite level is very important.

"Quite a few are veterans, and the rest are outstanding in the last battle and training. They are already considered half elite. According to your requirements, more than half of them will be able to control war horses."

Allen nodded, affirmed them, and then said a little worriedly: "Are you sure you don't want me to go with you?"

Ryan smiled, why didn't he find that Allen was such a mother-in-law before, just like an old lady.

"Aren't you clear about my strength? With the soldiers you have carefully selected, I have the confidence to rush out even if the opponent comes with a battalion, let alone if they can't take it out.

Besides, if you follow, who will restrain the army?Hans is a native after all, and I can't quite trust him yet. "

His tone was very confident, even arrogant, but Allen nodded in agreement.

Ryan's strength is a complete mystery in his eyes. He was able to defeat the orc chief before he broke through the senior knight, let alone now?
"Okay, I'll take care of the city for you. As long as I'm still alive, there will be no chaos in the city!" Alan clenched his right fist on his left chest and replied solemnly.

"I am relieved to have you here." Patting the other party's shoulder, Ryan looked at the people who were ready and said: "Soldiers, get ready to go!"

.........

In the early morning of the second day, a team consisting of several carriages slowly drove out of the city gate, accompanied by more than [-] cavalrymen, dozens of infantrymen, and several servants, who seemed to be going out for fun Stance.

None of Dreyer, Allen and others followed, but Ryan called Hevian who was a little more relaxed. Naturally, he had to find a local guide for patrolling the territory, and Hevian was a good choice.

As soon as the team left, the eyes staring at them openly and secretly began to report to their master.

Ryan doesn't have a lot of people, which is really tempting...

The carriage was moving with a "bang-chi-kuangchi", which shocked Ryan in the carriage.The road conditions in Karnaland are indeed horrible, with potholes everywhere, which further strengthens Ryan's idea of ​​​​wanting to build roads.

It is very deserted along the way, and the villages are not popular. This is a normal phenomenon, after all, the population is gathered in the city.

Ryan opened the curtain and looked at the lush and lush territory in the deep winter, with a lot of thoughts in his mind. It is very difficult to make changes in such a place. A place without villages is the same as an undeveloped barbaric area.

There are weeds and wildly growing trees everywhere, and green cane can be seen everywhere as Hevian said, even encroaching on large tracts of farmland.

Only a small part of the land has been reclaimed, and the rest are large tracts of wasteland. This is a normal thing in the southern border, but in Ryan's eyes, this is a serious waste.

As long as these lands are reclaimed, you can get good harvests in the southern border by planting whatever you want. The main reason is the lack of labor.

If the area of ​​the Cana Territory was placed in the hinterland of the kingdom, it would be comparable to some viscount territories, but the population was far from that standard, which led to a situation where the land was vast and sparsely populated, which can be said to be very wasteful.

"When the weather gets warmer, we need to organize slaves and refugees to open up wasteland. Such a good land cannot be left unused. There is never too much food." Ryan murmured.

"My lord, the iron mines in Cannaland are in front of me. Unfortunately, there is not much output."

Hevian, who was lying on the horseback, rushed forward and pointed to a small mountain road ahead.

Ryan looked around and found many houses and mines that were close to deserted.

"It's a pity, these idiots sold so much iron ore in the form of raw ore, they are really prodigals!"
