Merchants are also synonymous with low status in this world, no matter how much money they have, merchants can only be merchants and can never reach the status of nobility.

For the nobles, the big merchants are just piggy banks waiting to be smashed, and if they don't have money, they will smash one.

Just like Ryan before, he directly threatened them with force to make them vomit out enough benefits to make them feel painful, although they were not convinced, but they couldn't resist, and they didn't dare to resist.

The nobles were protected by the laws of the kingdom, but the merchants were not, and the lord was not responsible for killing them. On the other hand, if they kill the lord, it will be miserable, and it will not be long before the kingdom's army will let them know what it means to be noble.

Therefore, even if they are not convinced, even if they hate Ryan to the bone, as long as they are not sure that they will retreat with all their bodies, they will not do anything to Ryan.

On the other hand, these merchants have great power in Karna, and their tentacles cover all aspects of the territory, whether it is food, clothing, shelter, or transportation, or the army, government officials, and even the servants around Ryan may have their tentacles.

If Ryan didn't want to completely break the net, he would naturally not do anything to them easily, and last time it was just a compromise to weigh the pros and cons.

Just like Ryan knew that the three major businessmen colluded with the "Evil God Apostles", but still did not take any measures against them, it was also a temporary compromise.

However, Ryan can't keep playing with these people, this time he is directly using himself as bait to lure the snake out of the hole.

You wait for the opportunity, then I will give you the opportunity, first cut off some of their wings, then boil the frogs in warm water, gradually differentiate, one hand and the other hand, in this regard he still has the long-idle hole card of Canon!

Ryan made his purpose very clear, and for a moment it was Delai's turn and both of them fell into deep thought.

"It's enough for me to bring a brigade, but too many people will scare them."

If it weren't for the sake of insurance, he would have cut half of the manpower of this brigade.

After breaking through to the high-level knight, he is a lot more confident.

The two glanced at each other, and seeing that Ryan was so insistent, they had no choice but to agree and compromise and take this risk.

"After Delai goes back, he can reveal the news, don't make it too obvious, and then closely monitor the officials of the government department, you don't need to stare at them all, just look at those few important departments.

Alan also needs to pay attention to the army, and after I leave the city, you have to keep a close eye on the city, and if there is any disturbance or turmoil, send troops to suppress it.

Dorman City is the home base, and no matter what happens, there can be no chaos in the city. If it succeeds this time, most of the instability in Canna City will be removed. ”

Ryan stood up, his voice was solemn and majestic, he was not good at any scheming, he only had one force to break ten thousand laws here!

"Do your bidding!"

……

Soon, the news that the leader of the consulate had gone out of the city to inspect the territory had been leaked, and an official of a major department in the government affairs department had asked for leave, and some low-level officials were also about to move.

Even the most supportive of Lane's army, some people have also been impatient, especially the soldiers of the old city defense battalion, there have been frequent changes.

Both Delai and Alan saw these in their eyes, and they only felt a little frightened, there were far more people who had been infiltrated than they imagined, and these people had planned before the lord left the city.

But the good news is that they don't have a unified organization, otherwise there wouldn't be this scene of multiple people moving at the same time......

Canon looked at the news in his hand in the mansion, his expression was a little cloudy, although he had been cowering at home these days, but his eyes and ears to the outside world had never been closed.

His family had already taken root here when Kannaling was first established, and his family's power was as intertwined as an old tree, and it had a good influence in all aspects.

Whether it is in the army or the government affairs department, he has the eyes and ears to make friends or develop, and he knows everything without any news, but as long as it is not top-secret news, he can get it.

He believed that other people were more or less capable of doing the same, especially the two families of Amesa and Mirsa.

"Heh, what a great opportunity for the lord to go on patrol, if it were me, I would definitely not be able to bear it. In a short period of time, the lord has already shown extraordinary strength and means, as well as hostility towards us.

If we don't get rid of him while he is still on his feet, and when he is full-fledged, there will be no place for us at all, which is simply unacceptable to us who have already tasted power.

I just don't know which of you is more prepared. ”

Thinking of this, Canon turned his gaze to another piece of paper in his hand, which said to let him keep an eye on all the powerful businessmen.

Needless to say, it was Ryan's order to him.

Seeing this, as long as you have a brain, you will understand the connection, so he sighs like this.

Either way, he wanted Ryan to win, because if something happened to him, he wouldn't be in a good position.

Thinking of this, he didn't have much to hesitate, so he directly called his henchman butler and whispered a few words to him. Soon after, the eyes and ears of the cattle raised in the Canon Mansion were scattered out in unison......

As he expected, Amisha had quietly gathered with Mirsa and many other merchants.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sure you've all gotten that news from various sources, and I want to say it's a rare opportunity for us."

Amisha was dressed in a glamorous dress and said with a light smile.

The rest of the people were noncommittal to her words, and they all waited quietly for the following, but their hearts were already turbulent.

"That's right, this baron's attitude towards us and the way we act, I believe everyone knows that in such a short period of time, those mud-legged people have forgotten who is the real master of this territory.

It's too dangerous to go on like this, and you should know that, judging from his handwriting, he is not the poor ghost and stupid man of the previous lords.

If we continue like this, we will completely lose the initiative, so we need to change to a new lord who is willing to live with us. ”

Mirsa's eyes were fierce, and he couldn't bear it anymore. Killing a nobleman, a feeling he couldn't have imagined before, excites him.

Everyone in the meeting looked at each other, and they could see the faint glint in each other's eyes.

"Your offer is tempting, Mr. Mirsa, but once it's exposed, we'll all have to play with you." A wealthy businessman stood up and said.

"Hehe, don't pretend, who can come here doesn't know who, I very much agree with Mr. Mirsa, we need a new lord.

It's just that I have a question, doesn't Mr. Canon know about such a big thing? At this time, we need his strength very much, and I know there is some misunderstanding between you, but at this time, everyone should let go of their prejudices. ”

The other stood up and sneered, then turned his gaze to the two of Mirsa, Kanon represented nearly one-third of the power of the Kanna merchant class, and would certainly be more secure if the other party was there.

The rest of the people also nodded when they heard this, and many people noticed that none of the Kanon and the merchants close to the Kanon had come, but no one had broken it.

Mirsa's face suddenly turned blue when she heard this, she snorted coldly and did not speak, and Amesa on the side also said with an ugly face: "Kanon and we are no longer all the way, maybe this time it will become an obstacle for us." ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, they were all a little confused, they could all see that there must be a split between the three major businessmen, but they didn't expect it to have reached such a point.

Seeing that the two of them didn't explain too much, they didn't ask any more questions, but it was better to not know the inside story.

"In that case, I'm afraid the matter we discussed is not very stable, maybe the lord is prepared."

"So we can't spare the slightest hand this time, we must show all our strength, so that the baron will not escape!" Mirsa slapped the table and looked around.

"Now that the restrictions on access are very relaxed, I have already bribed the officers who defend the city, as long as it is not during Hans's inspection of the city defense, our men can completely go out of the city."

Seeing that everyone was still a little hesitant, Amisha also hurriedly threw out the chips in her hand.

"I've got someone in the government hall to get the lord to patrol the route." Mirsa has also continued to increase the weight.

"Since it has reached this point, there is nothing to worry about, the baron is only a human being, as long as we are united, he will definitely not escape!" Someone got up and agreed, with a posture of being out of the way.

"That's right, I also have eyeliner in the army, and I can find out the baron's manpower."

"I'm ......"

One by one, the merchants stood up and began to show their hole cards, and soon, a complete plan had been revealed......

Some of their movements were under Ryan's surveillance, although they were only the tip of the iceberg, but in the tube, Ryan also knew that the strength they had gathered was definitely not ordinary.

Even so, there is still no plan to dispel Ryan, and the more the other party gathers, the less fish will slip through the net in the future.

Soon a brigade mobilized by Allen was in place, they were all carefully selected soldiers, selected from the "Tuntian Army", which were more reliable and the best equipment.

"How well are they training?" Looking at the soldiers in front of him, who were all in good spirits, Ryan was still quite satisfied.

What he wants is to inflict heavy damage or even annihilate the opponent, and if the number of people is small, the degree of elite is very important.

"A considerable number of them are veterans, and the rest are also outstanding in the last war and training, and they are already half elite, according to your requirements, more than half of them can control war horses."

Alan nodded, affirming them, and then said with some unease: "Are you sure you don't need me to go with you?" ”

Ryan smiled, how could he not have found that Alan was such a mother-in-law before, like an old mother.

"Don't you know my strength? With your carefully selected soldiers, even if the other party comes to a battalion, I have the confidence to rush out, not to mention that they can't take it out.

Besides, if you go with you, who will restrain the army? Hans is a native after all, and I can't fully trust him yet. ”

His tone was very confident, even arrogant, but Alan nodded in agreement.

Ryan's strength was a complete mystery in his eyes, he could defeat that orc chief before he broke through the high-level knight, let alone now?

"Okay, I'll take care of the city for you, as long as I'm alive, there will be no chaos in the city!" Alan clenched his right hand into a fist on his left chest and replied solemnly.

"I'm relieved to have you." Patting the other party on the shoulder, Ryan looked at the people who were already ready: "Soldiers, prepare to go!" ”

………

In the early morning of the second day, a procession of several carriages slowly drove out of the city gates, accompanied by more than fifty cavalry, dozens of infantry, and several servants, as if they were out to play.

None of Delai, Alan and the others followed, but Ryan instead called the slightly more leisurely Hervian, and naturally had to find a local guide to patrol the territory, and Hevian was a good choice.

As soon as the team was far away, the eyes that were staring at them openly and secretly began to report to their masters.

Ryan doesn't have a lot of men, which is too tempting......

The carriage "clanged" and moved, shaking Ryan in the car. The road conditions in Cannard were indeed miserable, with potholes everywhere, which strengthened Ryan's desire to build the road.

It's all deserted along the way, and the villages are not popular, which is normal, after all, the population is concentrated in the city.

Ryan lifted the curtain and looked at the lush territory in the depths of winter, and thought to himself, it was very difficult to make changes in such a place, and a place without a village was the same as a barbaric area without development.

Weeds and wild trees were everywhere, and green cane was everywhere, as Hevian said, and even encroached on large tracts of farmland.

Only a small portion of the land had been reclaimed, and the rest was a large area of wasteland, which was normal in the South, but it was a serious waste in Ryan's eyes.

As long as these lands are reclaimed and planted in the south, they can get a good harvest, and the main reason is that there is a shortage of labor.

If the area of the Kana Territory is placed in the hinterland of the kingdom, it can already be comparable to some viscounties, but the population is far from that standard, which also leads to a vast and sparsely populated scene, which can be said to be very wasteful.

"When the weather warms up a little, we need to organize slaves and refugees to open up the wasteland, such a good land can't be wasted, there is not too much food." Ryan muttered to himself.

"Lord Lord, there is the iron mine of the Kanna Territory in front, but unfortunately there is not much output left."

Hevian, lying on horseback, rushed forward and pointed to a small mountain path ahead.

Ryan looked around, and sure enough, he found many houses and mines that were close to desertion.

"It's a pity, these fools have sold so much iron ore in the form of raw ore, they are really losers!"
