However, unexpectedly, after the destruction of the Creighton family, King Ferdinand had no intention of continuing to march into Hailan Province.

Everyone couldn't help but feel anxious, for fear that they would miss out on this opportunity to express themselves.

Reynard, however, knew that Ferdinand was weighing the pros and cons at this time.

The Crowning family is different from the Creighton family, and the energy they have at their disposal is extremely huge, and I am afraid that several Creighton families combined cannot be compared.

No matter how much the Creighton family jumps, they can still only dominate in Cabbage County, and they can't even completely subdue the other lords and nobles in Cabbage County, which is one of the important reasons for their rebellion failure.

The Cronin family is different, they control the economic lifeblood of the Arthurian kingdom, use money to unite countless mercenaries and bandits, and bribe a large number of officials to be eyes and ears.

They also have the backing of Hailan Province, and the nobles in the entire province are all looking to each other.

That is to say, although the strength shown by the Cronin family is not as strong as that of the king, it still has the strength to fight.

The lords who were vassal of the Cronin family did not feel that they would definitely lose, and they were afraid that they would not easily compromise with the king, so it was really difficult to defeat the other party.

Even if it wins, it will probably be a miserable victory.

Without ten years of recuperation, the Arthurian kingdom will not be able to recover.

Now that the demon disaster has not been completely calmed down, there is still the Kingdom of Rowling in the east, and it is really difficult to make a big move, which is why King Ferdinand chose to attack the Clayton family but let the Cronin family go.

If you can kill the chickens and set an example for the monkeys, arouse the jealousy of the Cronin family, and then slowly encroach on it and disintegrate, it is also a good strategy.

Of course, these are all things that King Ferdinand should consider, and Renard is too lazy to get involved.

Now that his plans have been achieved, he just wants to run his Gannan province well, and prepare for the challenge from the Tornia Kingdom.

Although the approval to officially canonize him as the governor of Gannan Province has not yet been issued, Lei Ye has already regarded himself as the master of Kale County, Nanhuang County, and Barren Land.

After the war, Kale County was in ruins, which gave Lei Ye and his subordinates the opportunity to show their strengths.

No matter what you think and plan, you don't have to be afraid of it, anyway, the situation will not be worse than now.

A new land allocation policy was introduced, infrastructure construction was put on the agenda, and the tax policy and military system were implemented in accordance with the standards of Nanhuang County.

There is no need to worry too much about the barren land, Duke Edmund has long begun to follow the military system and official system of the Southern Wilderness County and carry out reforms, even in terms of taxes, as if he is ready to be retracted.

Of course, except for the Duke and a few people, the vast majority of other people are unwilling to fall under the command of Lord Lei, the main reason is that they are afraid that their current interests will be violated.

However, in this western world where the lord is the sky, they have no right to speak, so these people hit the idea on the duchess.

The Duchess of Iona was born into a noble family, and knew how important the authority of the nobility was, and how could she be willing to give her husband's territory and benefits to outsiders for nothing?

She hurriedly found Duke Edmund to dissuade her, first reasoning, and then began to sprinkle if the reason did not make sense.

How could Duke Edmund not understand the importance of power, but he also knew his own weight.

Although he is a martial artist with great potential, he is not a capable lord.

He was already overwhelmed by the fact that he had already taken care of the territory of 200,000 people, and now that the population of the barren land had increased several times, he was already overwhelmed.

If he had a son under his knees, he could still let his son share the pressure, but now he only has five daughters, two of whom are married and three are minors.

Do you want to hand over such a big family business to your son-in-law to take care of?

Will that barren land still belong to the Duncan family in the future?

Renard is a lesson from the past, everyone now knows the name of the governor of Nanhuang County, and who remembers that he rose to prominence thanks to the Meredith family?

In a few decades, when Count Heidi dies, the Meredith family will disappear from the world.

Although the Meredith family will have a bloodline inheritance, but in a few decades or hundreds of years, who will remember that there was such a family in Arthur's kingdom?

Will it be possible to redistribute the barren land that has been so hard to integrate?

So what's the point of my efforts over the past few years?

Besides, what's the difference between this and giving away a barren land to Renard?

Rather than letting outsiders take advantage, it is better to hand over the authority to your own people

generation, at least to ensure the longevity of the Duncan family.

In this respect, the ideas of the ancient Orientals are almost identical to those of the ancient Westerners.

It's just that ancient Orientals paid more attention to blood inheritance, while ancient Westerners paid more attention to family inheritance.

To put it bluntly, it is a substance and a name, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.

Of course, there was a more important reason for Duke Edmund to do this, and that was that he saw Renard's ambitions.

As early as when they met in the City of Plenty, he felt that this junior was unusual.

Looking at the countless subordinates under his command, you know that he is not a person who is willing to be subordinate.

At that time, Duke Edmund did not take this junior to heart, and only felt that it was a good thing that he could do something, and he would not disgrace the name of the Duncan family.

Who would have thought that the other party would be able to gain a firm foothold in Nanhuang County, and he also became the nominal governor.

However, at that time, he still only regarded the other party as a capable junior, and was even willing to selflessly help and promote the other party.

It wasn't until Renard began to talk to him on an equal footing, and even took the initiative in the deal, that Duke Edmund realized that things were a bit unexpected.

It was at that time that he suddenly developed a heart of love for talent, and even said: If you were my son, I would definitely give you the whole barren land.

Of course, there are more jokes in this sentence, how could Lei Ye become his son, but he still expressed great kindness.

However, what happened next suddenly began to develop in a direction that Duke Edmund could not control.

Renard defeated the Anti-Demon Alliance, defeated Earl Ian, and later attacked Endless Harbor and took it for himself, completing the unification of Southern Wilderness County and becoming a veritable governor of Southern Wilderness County.

Duke Edmund only came to his senses at this time, knowing how strong this junior's ability was, and also knowing how ambitious the other party was.

If he was not the head of the Duncan family, did not frequently express kindness to the other party, or Renard was not a member of the Duncan family, I am afraid that the barren land would have changed hands long ago at this time.

This cannot be questioned, just look at the fate of the Creighton family, which is why Duke Edmund made the decision to give away the barren land.

In this way, you can not only avoid fighting in the same room and ruining your life, but also ensure the prosperity and wealth of yourself and your family.
