After more than a month of rapid expansion, the originally small and small village that could only accommodate about 100 households has changed greatly. The hamlet also became a small town, and the population of Rand Town migrated thanks to Ms. Carney's advice. The tax cuts and housing subsidies she gave Kane were the biggest key, and Rand was only three-quarters of the normal standard compared to other territories, and the tax savings from the annual tax savings of the residents could become a large amount of wealth at their disposal.

But migration requires a house to live in, and the money to buy a house is not a small amount, and buying the right to use a house elsewhere may cost them more than half a year or more. In addition, when they move out of their original territory, they also need to pay gold compensation to the lord, which is another painful amount of gold. Therefore, in general, many residents do not move easily.

Faced with these many problems, Ms. Carney, who has a business management mind, naturally thought of a solution. For the first new residents who moved here, she planned to give them houses for free, and if they came later, they would have to pay a certain amount of gold, and the later they moved, the more gold they would have to pay. This temptation has led to the arrival of a number of inhabitants of the neighbouring territories, which have so far migrated nearly a third of the population.

The town of Rand has various preferential policies, and businessmen who develop well here, and those who provide strength to the town can obtain extremely high tax deductions. Farmers who develop agriculture can get a small land of their own, about 100 square meters, although a little small, but it is a fatal temptation for farmers. Since ancient times, noble lords in many places would not allow their lords to own private land.

Because once they had their own land, the lord's land could not be rented out for interest rent, and the peasants would not do their best to cultivate the lord's land, so the advanced reforms of the rand were really tempting, and the peasants migrated to become the main force.

The nobles of the surrounding territories found that these reforms of Rand had led to a serious loss of their people, and they naturally couldn't bear this loss, so they began to warn Kane not to disturb the surrounding order in this way, and they accused Kane of bringing this place into chaos, and if their actions were known by the nobles above, they would definitely not let Kane go.

But Kane was noncommittal about this, he knew in his heart that the big nobles didn't care about how they managed their territory like the minor noble lords below, and all they cared about was whether the annual tax amount was reduced.

Kane is now a powerful member of Hamer, the Hammer family supports him in the back, and the other minor nobles can't change anything at all except verbal warnings, and they don't dare to overpower Kane by force, so they can only endure this anger.

The lords, who couldn't stand this kind of population loss, could only follow Rand's reforms, and when they actually implemented it for a month, they found that this method did not have much effect on the population loss. Their treasurer also conducted a financial assessment and found that if the lords' expenses were compared to their income, their financial situation would be in a situation where they could not make ends meet.

The good days of life are gone, which is intolerable for the lords, so some of the more daring lords can't bear it anymore and begin to secretly unite to discuss ways to deal with Kane. The four most affected barons around are in the local prestige of Pian. Secret alliance in Baron Soda's house.

The five barons sat at an oak table covered with a red tablecloth, and everyone was silent, none of them wanting to be the first to speak. The faces of several people could not be seen clearly in the mist, and after a period of silence, Baron Pian, as the master, took the lead in breaking the silence.

"If you have something to say, what does it mean to hold it in your heart, if anyone wants to hide their little thoughts, I don't think there is any need to talk about this matter tonight, everyone go back." There was impatience in Pian's tone, and he had already figured out the careful thinking of these fine barons who were always thinking about taking advantage of the fisherman.

Baron Nowruvius winked at Baron Sina on the opposite side and motioned for him to put a little more pressure on Baron Maca, who had suffered the most, that someone had to stand up and be the first bird, and everyone would have to follow, and they had already chosen this rising bird.

Baron Sina was very kind to lead the topic to Marca, "As far as I know, you should be Baron Maca who will suffer the most in our group, right?" It is said that Kane has been recruiting troops lately, and has also given out many rewards to attract people to work for him, and you are close to his territory, and the youth population will be affected even more. At this time, I don't think you should be silent, everyone is united to deal with him, so you should share your opinion. ”

The grievances in Maka's heart came to him as soon as Sina said this, and he grabbed the wine on the table and took a sip, waving his hand to wipe the wine stains from the corners of his mouth.

Said angrily: "I don't have any opinion, according to my idea is one word, hit!" Didn't His Majesty Wilhelm already order that the noble lords should be allowed to attack each other and plunder the land, the four of us,.... Or maybe the five barons can't deal with him alone? "By the way, Marca also counts Baron Pian, so that the power is stronger and safer.

"I didn't promise you to fight Kane together, I just promised to be a witness to your alliance of four." Pian is not stupid, how can Maka's careful thinking be hidden from him, an old fox who has lived here for a long time. Rand is a young town, and it won't be difficult for Pian to deal with him, but Pian won't do that.

He knew that Kane had Hammer behind him, and dealing with Kane was to provoke Hamer's authority, so he didn't do this kind of death-seeking thing. Moreover, his territory is some distance from Kane's territory, and his people are not greatly affected, so it can be said that it is not painful.

Pian had agreed to be witnesses for the four of them out of the benefit they had given him, and it was a very cost-effective job for him to get the benefit without much effort.

Marca wanted to say a few more words, but he had paid five hundred gold coins to ask Pian to be a witness, but the thought that Pian only had to be a witness easily, and that he could receive two thousand gold coins without doing anything, made his heart unhappy. And the main thing is that he thinks that Pian will be more or less interesting and help with some troops, but this old guy doesn't buy it at all, how can he bear it!

As soon as Marca wanted to have a seizure, he was preemptively stopped by Nowruvius and said, "If Baron Pian is only our witness, and if we don't participate in this matter, we won't embarrass Baron Pian." It's still very easy for the four of us to deal with a new little nobleman, isn't he in a hurry to expand the army now, which just shows that he doesn't have a formal army yet, and we will definitely be able to take him down easily by sending troops to take him down. ”

But Nowuway was worried: "However, one of the questions we have to consider now is whether Hammer will send troops to trouble us if our army enters the range of Rand to deal with Kane, and we can't provoke Hammer with our strength." ”

"We can't afford to mess with Hammer, we can join their rivals."

"You mean... Kurt? ”

"Of course! He had Hammer's back, so we asked Kurt to back us up. Marca replied.

Nowruway, as the most thoughtful person of the four, carefully considered the gains and losses in his mind, and then said: "But recently, Kaiser Wilhelm deliberately alienated and suppressed Kurt, and at the same time took too much care of Hamer. Hammer's position in the dynasty far surpassed that of Kurt, and even Andre, who had rarely appeared in politics, was more popular than them. Kurt... I'm afraid I'm going to be safe. ”

"Humph! The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, how can Kurt, as a big family that has existed for hundreds of years, say that it will fall, even His Majesty the Emperor cannot easily kill Kurt. The counterattack of the great nobles is no joke, and now we are still thinking about how to join Kurt! Marca felt that Nowruvi's worries were completely superfluous, how could a small person like him see the affairs of the big nobles, to put it mildly, they didn't even have a chance to set foot in the palace, but they still analyzed the situation among the big nobles, it was ridiculous!

Marca said so, and Nowruvi couldn't refute anything, after all, he still wanted Marca to be the first person to charge. So he began to consult the other two, and the two barons, who did not have much to say, said that they could first get in touch with Kurt and then make a decision, Kane could not do anything for a while, and sooner or later he would be leveled by the coalition forces.

The four of them had finished their plans and left Pion's house in their own carriage. From beginning to end, Baron Pian was silent, except for the beginning of his speech, Baron Pian, whose face was covered with smoke, making it impossible to see the expression on it.

For some time afterward, the four barons struggled to get in touch with the Kurt family in the hope of getting aboard their ship.

Kane didn't know anything about these things, he had recently been busy training the recruited army with Ize, the fifth-level knight captain sent by Hammer to help, and the 130 people recruited and cobbled together all had good physical fitness and a certain combat foundation. Perhaps because of many years of labor, these people have a hard-working quality, and their training progresses faster.

With his own professional training system, Ize has already laid the most basic foundation for this group of people in only half a month. I have to say that the professional's business ability is strong, and Ize also helped Kane develop a professional training plan by the way, the third-level knight level has faintly shown signs of breakthrough, and the fourth-level level barrier has loosened traces, so Kane is no longer busy exploring the remaining territory, and focuses on cultivation.

He divided the work of exploration among a few of his trusted subordinates, who were responsible for mapping and exploring the territory while patrolling the territory, with Hammer's figure as a backer, although the new Rand Town attracted a lot of hatred, but no one dared to do it easily, but from time to time there were a little painless skirmishes.

Kane, as a lord, naturally knew about these things, but he didn't take revenge, he knew that those lords were dissatisfied with what he had done before, and they didn't dare to do it openly, so they could only vent their anger in this way.

Not retaliating for the time being does not mean that Kane will suffer this kind of loss, he is now thinking about improving his strength and developing the territory, and has no intention of wasting time with these guys. Kane had already calculated that after he built up an army, all those who did anything to Rand would have to pay a terrible price.
