There was an insurmountable gap between the nobles and the commoners, as can be seen from the currency they used.

The currency used by the common people has always been only copper plates, and the currency minted from brass is sometimes even added to the copper plates with cheaper lead.

If a commoner uses silver coins, then in the eyes of other civilians, this person is definitely a rich person, and as for gold coins, ordinary civilians cannot meet them at all.

But the nobles were different, those nobles never disdained to use the copper plate as a currency, they generally only used gold and silver coins.

Gold and silver were the common hard currencies among the nobility.

Baron Griffin of Fort Eagle deliberately reported the income of his domain a little higher, mainly because one hundred and fifty to two hundred gold coins a year was the lower income of the aristocratic class.

Griffin felt that if he reported the real income, he would probably be ridiculed by the other nobles present, after all, the most important thing among the nobles was their face.

But in fact, the income of the nobles present in the territory is actually similar, and the income of their territory has become very low in recent years.

"In that case, how about we cooperate?" Xin Yu said suddenly.

"Your Excellency, Count Veronica, what do you mean by this?" Other nobles asked, especially Baron Griffin of Eagle Castle, and immediately became excited.

"I mean, I'm going to lease your territory." Xin Yu threw each of these nobles a contract, and what was written on the contract was about renting land.

"You actually want to lease land, and this kind of thing?" The other nobles muttered that they had never encountered such a thing before.

On this contract for the lease of land, the interests and rights between Count Veronica and other nobles were clearly calculated.

According to the contract, the Count of Veronica will lease the territory for a period of seventy years, during which time the law enforcement powers, tax rights and administrative powers on the territory will be in the hands of the Count of Veronica.

This also means that the original nobility will lose all their rights in the territory.

However, Veronica would pay three hundred gold coins a year to the nobles who rented the land, which was far more than the annual income these nobles received in the territory.

Xin Yu felt that these nobles should accept this kind of contract, but she still overestimated the intelligence of these nobles and underestimated their greed.

"The desert is really ridiculous, I will never sign such a contract, exercising my rights as a nobleman on the land, it was given to me by my ancestors, and it is absolutely impossible to give it away because of the rent of three hundred gold coins a year." A sharp voice suddenly came out, and it was Baron Chris of Cold Howling Castle who spoke.

Originally, many nobles wanted to agree when they saw the conditions on the contract, but when Baron Chris said this, the nobles present began to hesitate.

More than thirty barons, more than ten viscounts, so many nobles have a very large territory.

And the rent given by Xin Yu is not fixed, the more large the nobles in the territory, the more rent can be obtained every year, three hundred pieces per year is only the lowest grade, if the territory is larger, you can get more rent.

Xin Yu knew that Baron Chris of Cold Howling Castle could only earn about ninety gold coins from his own territory every year, because Baron Chris could not manage the territory at all, and the level of administrative officials he hired was not good.

Now, Baron Chris has become a bird, but it is precisely because Chris is the first to come forward, so other nobles have also begun to think about how to bargain.

Although Xin Yu provided a minimum rent of three hundred gold coins a year, far exceeding the income obtained by these nobles in their own territory, the greed in people's hearts was unlimited after all, and everyone wanted to get more benefits.

It seems that he is treated as a fat sheep, and Xin Yu realizes this.

"Your Excellency Count Veronica, I think the rent of three hundred gold coins a year is still too low, you must know that my territory was snatched from the territory of Warcraft by my ancestors." Baron Chris of Cold Howling Castle said.

At this time, other nobles were watching, watching how Xin Yu handled this matter, if Xin Yu showed the slightest hesitation, or weakness, these nobles would feel that Xin Yu could take advantage.

Of course, these nobles did not dare to brazenly stand up and resist Xin Yu with Baron Chris.

"So, do you think that the price of three hundred gold coins a year is not enough?" Xin Yu said suddenly, without any joy or anger in his tone.

"Your Excellency Count Veronica, this contract of yours is a blatant encroachment on the territory of other nobles, and three hundred gold coins a year is not much compensation." Baron Chris said.

But in fact, he just wanted to bargain, and the castle was almost abandoned because it could not maintain the repair cost over the years.

The people in Baron Chris's domain have also been fleeing because of the lord's various high taxes, and come to Bloodstone Town to survive.

Xin Yu recalled this Baron Chris from Cold Howling Castle, and suddenly remembered that his territory did not seem to be important to his plan.

The territory near Cold Howling Castle is relatively barren, and the geographical location is not good, if Xin Yu wants to integrate all the noble territories nearby, he can completely ignore Baron Chris's territory, and that place is not important.

"In that case, then you leave, I don't need your territory." Xin Yu said lightly.

At this moment, Baron Chris was instantly dumbfounded, he originally thought that this Count Veronica gathered all the nobles in the vicinity in the castle, and he must need their territory very much, but he did not expect that Count Veronica suddenly repented.

The other nobles were also stunned at this time, not thinking about what this Count Veronica meant.

"I really need more territory now, so I want to cooperate with you and reach a land lease agreement, but if you refuse my kindness, it will not affect me, after all, I can also open up land in the Warcraft Forest."

Xin Yu clapped his hands, and then all the nobles felt a terrible pressure suddenly descend.

The sound of wings flapping the air came from outside the window, causing some nobles to look out, and then, they saw the dragon, the five-colored dragon.

"My God, these are actually five-colored dragons!"

"Although I have heard that Count Veronica has some five-colored dragons, there are too many of them."

Dragons, circling the castle, flapped their wings.
