Wizard From Afar

For a group of nobles with real rights and land, it is very difficult to remediate them.

They have large estates in their hands, and at the same time they continue to invade the surrounding land. The peasants who depend on their farms have lost their land and can only become tenants willingly.

This is especially true for hunters who rely on hunting for their livelihoods. You cannot enter the hunting ground without the permission of the owner of the hunting ground. Expensive bows and arrows are also the property of the nobles and can only survive by relying on the names of these nobles.

If any Deep Limburg count did not have the support of these nobles, he would not be able to collect taxes, and he would not be able to talk about rule-even the Senna family in the past was the same on this point.

But as long as it is a person, especially a group of people, they are impossible and have no weaknesses.

The reason for thoroughly investigating and measuring the entire count’s land is because in the past nearly a hundred years, those large and small farms are not static, and new lands are constantly being reclaimed. New villages are established and the population is also increasing.

And these newly reclaimed land originally belonged to the farmers who reclaimed wasteland, but they were stripped away by the nobles in various ways. The nobles who invaded more land became stronger and stronger.

The same principle can also be applied to those hunting ground owners, and it is even easier-without bows and arrows, no hunting props, no matter how good hunters are, they can only starve to death.

And this is Loren’s plan to confirm the Fiefdom scope of these nobles by measuring the land, and return the land that did not belong to them to the farmers, or return it to count’s jurisdiction Down.

This kind of action is tantamount to cutting flesh and blood from the nobles directly, but it will definitely be welcomed by the peasants-which is what Duke Fried said, making the nobles fear and the commoners love.

When hundreds of farmers and their families get the land, no one will question the legitimacy of Ruben Fried's rule.

Ru Wen gave them land, which is their only guarantor. In order to protect their land, these farmers will do everything possible to allow this deep Limburg count to rule forever.

However, this approach must be careful enough. Once there is a slight mistake, the entire Shen Limburg count will be divided into two, and farmers who want to protect their land will be united in Lu tattoo By the side, fight to the end with the nobles who want to regain the land.

The situation will even be worse than this-the ignorant farmers are encouraged by the nobles to resist the "tyranny" of this new count!

That is definitely not what Loren wants to see. If he can, he hopes to complete the transition peacefully. Killing is always a last resort, and should not be used lightly unless there is no choice.

Of course, if you really get there, you must be thorough enough to uproot all the insurgents.

As the evening approached, the young count rode back to Deep Limburg on a horse. Although his face was exhausted, he still could not conceal the excitement and joy in his eyes.

"How about, Loren? What do those nobles say?"

In the quiet bedroom, Ruben sitting by the bed poured himself a full glass of ale, I didn’t forget to ask: "I guess their expressions must be very exciting, right?"

"You guessed it." Seeing Ruben’s expectant expression, Loren’s little girl without a trace Little flattered: "In fact, there are still many people waiting for you in the hall now, I hope you can take it back and die."

"Then let them wait, naturally when I am in a good mood I'll meet them!" Ruben sneered. He didn't even like these guys who were greedy and made things difficult for him.

As I said, I waved to Loren, said with a smile: "You should also move a chair and sit down. I said don’t be so cautious. Just be a little more casual. I have to lift up when I stand there. Talk to you with your head."

The black hair wizard who chuckled lightly had to sit next to him and poured himself a glass of ale: "This is just the beginning, they won't surrender easily. "

Ruwen is nodded, he also knows how difficult it is for these nobles to give up the land they have acquired.

"Sir Aaron has led people to start a thorough investigation. The land around the castle can be measured within three days, and all the work can be completed in one month-we must speed up, absolutely cannot Give them time to react!"

When the time comes, all the nobles of Deep Limburg must make a choice-whether to accept the rule of this count completely, or to protect the land in their hands and resist in the end.

The reason why Loren insists on speeding up is more importantly to seize time. Winter has arrived. If you can't finish the whole reform before next spring, or finish part of it as much as possible, you will fall short.

When the farming season is busy, the farmers will no longer be so enthusiastic about this reform. They have to work hard for the next year's rations, and it will be too difficult to motivate them.

"If everything goes well, before the end of this winter, the farmers around the castle will be able to allocate a part of the land, and the rest will depend on whether the nobles are worthy of cooperation." With a little speculation, The black hair wizard toasted and said: "If it doesn't work, then I can only ask Sir Aaron to use some tougher methods."

"They definitely don't dare!" The confident Ruben drank. Then looked towards the attendant standing in the corner: "What do you think, is there any dissatisfaction with the Senna family?"

"Me?" The stared wide-eyed attendant pointed to himself, Ruben and Loren turned his head one after another, both eyes fell on him.

Will Senna showed a somewhat frightened expression. He didn't dare not say it, but he seemed to be afraid that he might have said the wrong thing and he could not even jump out a word.

"Don't worry." Loren, who saw that he was worried, was comforted: "No matter what you say, besides us, there will not be a third person who knows."

"Okay Well..."

The sweaty attendant nodded, as if very embarrassed: "Actually...what Master Count is doing now, the Senna family has been doing it a long time ago, just from Unsuccessful."

"Each generation of counts tried to reclaim the newly reclaimed land from the nobles, but failed each time. They always used various methods to Obstruction, the Senna family fell short."

Loren nodded, this is not difficult to understand. Any lord does not want his vassals to be too strong, and it is reasonable to do so.

The reason why the Senna family is now on the opposite side of Ruben is entirely because he has taken the title of count, so they can only stay with their cronies and ignore their original interests. .

"So if you do the same, members of the overwhelming majority Senna family should not object." Will Senna cautiously said: "Especially Barry grandfather, you should actually be with him Cooperation."

"I will try, after all, he is my grandfather." Ruben was nodded, staring at the attendant with scorching eyes:

"But if...I It means that if one day I had to be an enemy of the Senna family, especially when I was an enemy of Barry Senna, which side would you choose to stand on?"

Will’s expression is even more embarrassing. Let him choose whether to support Ruben or his family. Facing the young count's lion-like eyes, the dodge-eyed attendant was embarrassed.

"If...there is such a day." The attendant gritted his teeth and suddenly lifts the head: "I am your attendant. According to tradition, I will be wholeheartedly loyal to you!"

The young count's expression was a bit surprised, but soon smiled, and happily stood up and gave the attendant a bear hug.

"I never like to make promises at will, but to those who are willing to be loyal to me, I will give everything they want." Ruben solemnly vowed, "This is my promise to you! "

Will Senna lowered his head with a look of excitement, as if he couldn't restrain his emotions. The young count patted his shoulders comfortingly.

Sitting at the back, Loren tilted his head slightly, with a somewhat weird expression and dark pupils full of weirdness.

Can someone who can betray even his family really believe in his loyalty?
