Only two kinds of people would rent.

One is the fool who dreams of returning to the countryside for a pastoral life, and the other is the merchants raised by the nobles themselves.

The former are not worth grieving over, while the latter are the nobles' own affairs.

In this way, no one's interests are harmed. Instead, the nobles' feudal obligations are liberated from the land, allowing them to more actively seize the land under their titles that no one claims, and to drive out the self-tilling farmers living on it.

After a brief chaos, a new order will be established on the land of the Campbell Duchy.

And Thunder City will enjoy limitless prosperity!

The most crucial point is that the land there belongs to the Royal Family!

Edward felt his palm slightly burning with heat, even sweating nervously.

Perfect!

He was just troubled by how to undermine the unruly nobles under his command, and now the knife had been handed to him!

Saint Sis above!

This esteemed Mr. Colin even considered the nobility's honor which troubled him most!

Separating the rights of ownership and use, this is simply a genius solution!

He couldn't help but think, it was Saint Sis who acknowledged his piety and sent this distinguished gentleman to punish those greedy people.

"I think I understand your meaning... As long as we allow the nobles of Campbell Duchy to partake in the dividends of reform, they will willingly cooperate with us to push their tenant farmers towards the cities?"

Looking at the enlightened Duke Edward, Luo Yan nodded with a smile.

"That's right."

He enjoys conversing with intelligent people, which is why he is not very keen on talking much with Baron Ges.

That guy is all about gold coins and can't see beyond them.

However, bribing such a person is the simplest.

For instance, when he bribed the fellow, he merely gazed into his eyes and patted his shoulder.

Edward coughed to signal a servant nearby, who handed him a towel to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

After a long internal struggle, he looked at Luo Yan and said earnestly.

"I want to know if the Empire does the same?"

Luo Yan chuckled at the words.

"Your Majesty, the Empire is so vast, even this continent is named after it, and even the land under my feet is part of the Empire... Which part of the Empire do you mean specifically? I am not familiar with the Old Continent, but in the Colin Duchy, we indeed do so."

As he said this, Luo Yan took a sip of tea to moisten his throat.

He actually doesn't know what the situation is in the Colin Duchy, nor has he been there.

But that place is Hell, so he supposes that even the Duke far on the northeast coast of the Vortex Sea hasn't been there either...

Moreover, he dares to bet the humans there live worse lives, for it is the land of vampires after all.

As he anticipated, Duke Edward finally leaned towards the idea... Even if this Majesty of a Duke concealed it well.

He waved his hand, pinching his brow, feigning weariness.

"... Such a leap in matters for us, I have to discuss with my advisors."

Looking at the overly cautious Duke Edward, Luo Yan nodded with a smile.

"Of course, that is also my suggestion, we're merely drinking tea and chatting today. If my personal opinion alone made you change your mind, I'd feel uneasy instead."

Pausing a bit, he continued.

"You are the master of this Duchy, I am but your guest."

Despite saying this, Luo Yan could easily guess with whom he planned to consult, none other than the one who placed the diamond on his crown.

And that person had long been bought off by him.
