Although he occupied Lieyuan Town, how to get the right to rule here has been troubled by Zhang Xiao's heart, Zhang Xiao originally planned to forcibly accuse the mayor of colluding with robbers, for which he also deliberately forged a lot of evidence, Zhang Xiao believes that in front of these so-called evidence, coupled with the town mayor usually does those complaining things to the town, he will soon become a situation where the wall is down and everyone pushes him.

However, the sudden injury of the quasi-knight of Difu has already attracted the attention of all the local nobles, and Zhang Xiao is absolutely sure that these nobles, as an upper class in the region, must have an agreement similar to an alliance of interests, so how to deal with these nobles has become Zhang Xiao's top priority.

Liquidating the mayor's past crimes, confiscating the mayor's property, giving away the land near the mayor's name to the townspeople for free, and implementing the military household system and a new tax scheme, all of which allowed Zhang Xiao to quickly gain the support of ordinary townspeople.

However, the support of these nobles is indeed the most difficult to get, and some people may think that they are not needed at all, just clean up these nobles, and any arrogant nobleman will bow his head in front of the broadsword.

But the reality is not so simple, not to mention that these nobles control 80% of the grain in the entire town, and the serfs in their estates account for at least 10% of the entire town, and they also have fortresses, in this era of lack of siege equipment and siege means, these fortresses are undoubtedly the most headache, you fight this, maybe the one behind you will come to touch your back, and you may not be able to eat all of them when you divide your troops.

Besides, if you don't get the approval of these nobles, just a Danilo with a very high reputation is enough for Zhang Xiao to be anxious, you must know that Danilo's reputation in the town has accumulated over decades, and even if Zhang Xiao can bring benefits to those townspeople, what if these townspeople choose, they will definitely choose Danilo, unless Zhang Xiao really intends to rebel, it will be very simple, just destroy all the way, break and then stand, but these are obviously not what Zhang Xiao wants.

If he can't quickly gain the right to rule Lieyuan Town, how can Zhang Xiao concentrate on dealing with the menacing Baron Dero, you must know that this time Baron Dero sent all the power of their family, a force that is enough to control the whole town, and the whole town here can also include all the villages on the periphery, unlike Zhang Xiao who can only symbolically occupy the town at this time.

The more he thought about it, the more upset he became, Zhang Xiao tossed and turned and couldn't sleep for a long time, I don't know how long it took, Zhang Xiao jumped out of bed in annoyance, opened the window and looked up at the starry sky, and was bored in his heart, no matter how beautiful the scenery in front of him was, it would seem boring.

"Someone!" Zhang Xiao shouted to the young man on duty at the door: "Is it so difficult to let Alonso raid his house? It actually takes a day and two nights! Let him stop his work there, come to me to report immediately, and call Marcelo to me too." ”

The young man outside the door seemed to hear the boredom in Zhang Xiao's tone, so naturally he didn't dare to be careless, and immediately ran to give the order.

It didn't take long for Alonso and Marcelo, who looked tired but very excited, to come to Zhang Xiao's bedroom together, only to see Zhang Xiao sitting on his bed at this time, looking at a map in his hand in distress.

Seeing Alonso and Marcelo coming to him, Zhang Xiao temporarily put down the map in his hand and asked Alonso first: "How is the liquidation of the assets of the mayor's family?"

"Don't you know, captain, that old thing is so rich, we actually dug up two jars of copper coins from his stove, God knows how much property he has, we are interrogating the old thing, but the old thing refuses to tell the whereabouts of the property, and he is still shouting to report to the province of Parabun, saying that we are rebels of the rebellious kingdom, etc......."

"Mayor of the town, I'll interrogate you later, you can put aside the work of raiding the house for the time being, I have a few tasks for you. ”

Hearing that there was a mission, Alonso immediately refreshed: "Captain, you say!"

"Lieyuan Town, in addition to our Roman Village and Yi Village, there are a total of 6 outlying villages, you can take 20 brothers from the town militia team to the base camp after dawn tomorrow, and bring 40 Roman youth team members who are still training, a total of 60 people, and give me to these six villages. ”

"Your task is simple, make sure that there is no armed organization of any kind in those six villages, and force the village chief and auxiliary magistrate of each village to be brought back to Lieyuan Town, and even if they die, bring the body to me. When you get there, give this letter to Isco, and he'll know how. ”

After speaking, Zhang Xiao took out a wooden plaque with Chinese characters written on it from his arms and handed it to Alonso, which was Zhang Xiao's early tiger talisman military order.

Alonso, who got the order, looked very excited, and Zhang Xiao asked him to go back and rest first, so that he could leave in time tomorrow morning.

After sending Alonso away, Zhang Xiao turned to Marcelo and asked: "Marcelo, what do you think of our situation now?"

"Because we are newcomers, and because of the conflict that has just occurred, our relationship with these local nobles needs to be eased urgently, and I feel that we need to make certain exchange of interests and concessions when necessary. Marcelo thought about it for a moment and then gave his opinion.

But after listening to Marcelo's opinion, Zhang Xiao shook his head and said helplessly: "Marcelo, your opinion is very right, but you forgot to consider the impact of this incident on the public and the way you get along with these nobles in the future, in short, it is too weak." ”

"You go and inform the town militia, Lieyuan Town has raised the military management level, imposed a curfew, if anyone is still walking on the street at night and cannot show a pass, we will kill on the spot, and assign various teams to be stationed at the door of each noble knight's house, so as to play a monitoring role, tell the people below, if there is a possibility of conflict again, immediately send someone to inform me, and impose restrictive measures on the other side, and no more things will hurt people's lives. ”

"Prepare tomorrow, I will inform the whole town about the former mayor's collaboration with the enemy, and I will settle the evidence of his past crimes, and the townspeople are welcome to actively present evidence in order to obtain their own benefits, and I will also carry out the capital punishment of the mayor tomorrow at noon, and I also welcome the ceremony. ”

"The meeting with the highest resolution of those nobles is scheduled at the time of execution!" Zhang Xiao announced to Marcelo many decisions that would affect the fate of many people in one breath.
