Two days later, the small city of Phuket finally calmed down, and more than 100 people were raided. Most of them are not feudal lords, but only people from feudal lords' families, and they are small nobles, so they don't have much money. And those big feudal lords who lived in Phuket City did not put large amounts of property in Phuket City.

"Your Highness, Barrett has handed in thirteen thousand gold coins, fifty gold bars, fifteen horses, and leather ......."

In the palace, Gandalf excitedly reported that he had made a lot of money this time.

However, Luo Lan was very calm, he knocked on the table and said: "The real big head is in the fiefdom of the lords, and the city is not worth mentioning, arm my guards as soon as possible, I want armor and a long sword, fifteen horses can also form a cavalry squad, all the money is invested in it, and if it is not enough, it will be taken from the treasury." ”

Luo Lan pointed at the feudal lord's territory, this may be a bloody battle.

Looking at the cold Luo Lan, Gandalf hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Royal Highness, although you have wonderful ideas, you are still immature after all, and I don't approve of leading troops to oppress the lord." ”

"Why?"

Luo Lan looked at this old minister who had followed him for many years, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.

Gandalf pondered: "Although Phuket Island has not formed a deep-rooted lord force, those lords are not afraid of you after all, they can completely raise tens of thousands of private soldiers to rebel, if the fish is dead, your highness will not be able to reap any benefits." Most importantly, the king is disappointed in you, and he may not protect you......"

"We can mobilize the peasants, this is a huge force enough to crush the power of the lords."

Luo Lan said, but he didn't mean it, but it seemed that he was deliberately saying it to be Gandalf.

Gandalf glanced at Luo Lan and found that his Royal Highness was actually very calm, and he didn't have the urge to fight at all, which showed that he was not as reckless as he said.

"Your Highness, you're hesitating, aren't you? The peasants are already overwhelmed, and if we go to war with the lords again, we will suffer in the end. ”

Gandalf sighed, and Luo Lan also sighed in his heart. In fact, he was very hesitant, the time of his revolution was too short, the foundation was too weak, and the time to really start it should be postponed until at least half a year later, and now a careless person may backfire.

The so-called power comes out of the barrel of a gun, that is, there must be a barrel of a gun, and it is a big and long barrel of a gun.

"Gandalf, you've got a lot of ideas. How do you think these lords can be dealt with perfectly? ”

Luo Lan still decided to compromise a step, because the revolution with too much blood would suffer, and he didn't want to take risks.

"I heard the news that the lords near Phuket City had fled with their families and fled by boat. This shows that the lords are still unwilling to fight against you in their hearts, and they also know what they will face, so they flee for their lives as soon as possible, and no one is nostalgic for us in Phuket. Let them escape, they can only take the gold coins, but not the land. ”

"They ran away?" Luo Lan was overjoyed, he thought that he would have a bloody battle with the feudal lords helplessly, but now it seems that he has overestimated the determination of the feudal lords.

"Yes, the peasants are disobedient, and the lords are hit. And before the lords saw the beacon fire but did not come to the rescue of the prince, this is a capital offense. We might as well let them escape, there's no need for a bloody fight. ”

Gandalf's idea is very reasonable, but Luo Lan is a little resentful, this revolution seems to be a bit anticlimactic due to his lack of strength, which makes him unhappy, and he has to reap some benefits no matter what.

"Send troops to guard all ports and ferries, and tell the lords to leave after paying the taxes for the past two years, otherwise they will be treated as rebels."

Luo Lan thought about it for a long time and still gave in, he only needed these two years of taxes.

Gandalf is happy that this method is a good way to not only make the reform go smoothly, but also to recover some losses.

Gandalf excitedly went to do it, but Luo Lan frowned.

"My armed forces are still too weak to hurt the foundation of the feudal lords at all, they will definitely come back in the future, this revolution was not successful, it just gave a little blood to the feudal mainstream."

A trace of worry flashed in Luo Lan's eyes, but it immediately turned into a strong confidence.

"If you dare to come back in the future, I will show you what a real revolution is!"

————

In the port of Phuket City, on the dirty waters, ships belonging to the lord took them out of Phuket Island quickly.

The port of Buji City faces the Norlan Continent across the sea, the distance is only more than ten nautical miles, and when the wind and waves are calm, you can even see the luxury ships sailing in the distance.

It was a big boat on the Norlan Continent, a big boat that made the fishermen of Phuket Island envious.

Luo Lan smelled the fishy smell of the sea, standing on a high ground in the port, surrounded by nobles coming and going. These nobles dragged their families and took boxes of treasures on board the ship to the Norlan Continent.

It can be said that these aristocrats took away the essence of Phuket Island for decades and hundreds of years, they squeezed the oil and water of the peasants, and now they left in peace and security, only to pay the two years of taxes owed to the officials guarding the ferry.

Heartache was the only feeling Luo Lan felt at this time.

It's heart-wrenching.

He was eager to slaughter these nobles, take away their gold coins and treasures, and use them to vigorously develop Phuket Island and improve his fiefdom.

But he couldn't do that, or it could provoke a backlash from the nobility.

Luo Lan sighed and turned to leave the port. It was going well, guarded by Barrett's two hundred guards, and the fleeing lords obediently paid the two years of taxes they owed—nothing to them anyway.

Those big feudal lords even talked and laughed, and took their slave girls on the boat with a laugh, and while throwing gold coins to the officials with disdain, they loudly laughed at Prince Luo Lan for being a fool.

"What is he without us?"

"Such a big island, we have worked hard to manage for him, just because he paid a little less tax, he wants to exploit the title, how can this be reasonable, and use the peasants to oppress us, do you really think we are afraid?"

"We'll come back in two years to see if he's starved to death, and without us, I'll see how he manages Phuket. It's even tax-free for three years, let's die with the untouchables hahaha. ”

Amid countless unbridled mockery, the ships departed one by one, as if sailing towards a better future.

These lords seem to have fled, but in fact they have taken their belongings and gone to land in style. They are willing to give up their fiefdoms, first, they are afraid of Luo Lan, and secondly, Phuket Island really has nothing to be nostalgic for, it is almost abandoned, the peasants are also rebellious, it is not easy to manage, and there is also the problem of beacon fire, they have already lost money, and they don't want to be thankless.

All in all, losing a badly played island is like losing a dead pig, and the lords don't feel sorry for it.

At this moment, all the feudal lords did not expect that it was precisely because of their generous departure that Phuket Island had the soil for the development of centralized power, and in just over ten years, it became one of the most powerful regions in the Norlan Continent.
