I Want To Be a Nobleman

Harold returned to his home territory, greeted Rand and his two mothers, and went to the meeting room to start thinking about the next plan. He calculated the population of the territory, the wealth he owned, and various external factors. I just fell asleep.

Early the next morning, he summoned all the mayors and chief guards in the territory to the castle for a meeting, and recalled all the system troops under him.

At noon, all the management of the territory were in place. In the castle council hall, Harold sat at one end of the long table, and more than 20 territorial officials took their seats from near to far according to their status. Harold's six [rogue knights] Standing straight behind Harold, he kept his eyes straight.

In addition to the captain of the guard and the mayor he arranged for the city of forge, there was also a dwarf representative who sat at the other end of the long table.

"The Kingdom of Corondo has been established for 10 years. Counting before the establishment of the country, I have ruled this territory for nearly fifteen years!"

"In the past fifteen years, the villages in the territory have become self-sufficient from being difficult to survive, and the towns are getting richer and richer. The main city of the territory, 'Forging City', has become a large city that can be counted among the entire kingdom!"

Harold paused deliberately when he said this, and a mayor he had arranged in advance applauded excitedly, and the others followed suit, and even the dwarf representatives cooperated in applauding.

The management of Harold's territory is really good, especially the forging city. The dwarves feel more comfortable in this city than in their hometown of the dwarf kingdom. They can satisfy everything from mining, blacksmithing, and fine wine.

The applause lasted for a long time, Harold stretched out his hand to signal a pause, and said the theme of today's meeting.

"Everyone, I called you here to discuss the land reclamation plan! This land is very vast, we can't rest on our laurels, we must move towards a bigger goal!"

"I'm going to start exploring new territories in half a year, and I need your support!"

Harold didn't train his own team. Land reclamation is not just about fighting and killing. It must have a large number of people to help manage the construction. He needs the help of these people very much.

"I agree, with Lord Harold's wise leadership, land reclamation will be a piece of cake!" The nurse arranged by Harold quickly jumped out and agreed.

This time, the other people did not follow Tuoer, and all of them frowned and said nothing. The atmosphere was a bit awkward for a while, and Tuoer also felt a little embarrassed.

Harold secretly sighed in his heart, knowing that it is not that simple, this nurse is too stupid, this does not mean that he was directly exposed, but you should wait for the critical moment to speak!

"My lord, our current territory has not yet reached its limit. There is no need to rush to expand the territory, right? The small town I manage has just escaped poverty. I think it will take at least ten more years of development. Wait for the next generation to grow up before starting to open up wasteland. It's not too late!"

"That's right, a large piece of land is still vacant, and many new villages can be built. The population is far from saturated. You are young, sir, so don't worry!"

The nobles expressed their opinions one after another, and Harold's face began to look ugly. He guessed that the land reclamation operation would not be supported, but he didn't expect these people to dare to oppose it so clearly!

This era does not pay attention to democratic co-governance. The lord is a dictator in his own territory. If there is any order, he will say nothing. But Harold is now being refuted in public.

"These guys don't regard me as the real master of the territory!" Harold was furious in his heart. Indeed, everyone in the territory did not regard Harold as a ruler, but only regarded Harold as a manager with a higher status.

First, Harold is too young! Even in this world where the average life expectancy is not high, it takes 16 years to be considered an adult.

Second, Harold has neither made military exploits nor is Marcus' immediate relative or knight. In the eyes of everyone, Harold became the lord only because of Marcus' favor. Compared with other rulers, Harold is heavenly. It's so different, let alone compared with the noble lord.

And what did Harold think of himself?

The bald-headed upstart of the kingdom is closer to him than his own son. Marcus, the biggest nobleman next to the king, does not treat him as an outsider at all. Powerful elves like Tiona and Alan are also close to him, etc., plus He is a time traveler, a reborn person, and Goldfinger is still there.

Harold has always felt that he is more powerful than nobles!

Harold and the dignitaries in his territory have completely different perceptions of him, which has caused the current embarrassing situation.

"What I want to say is that I will lead my troops to open up wasteland in half a year. I will keep in mind the support you have given me, and I will give you enough rewards!"

Harold suppressed his anger and continued to persuade these nobles in the territory. Most of them were descendants of aristocrats or knights who had not awakened their blood. Common people who were illiterate and illiterate would definitely not be able to take charge of the management. Harold had no chance to be promoted.

"Sorry, my lord, I just want to build and develop my own town."

"It's not that simple to open up wasteland. Just because the nobles can do it doesn't mean that anyone can do it. You must recognize your own ability. Please think about it again, my lord!"

I think about you XX, Harold slapped the table, is it your turn to teach me?

"Have you misunderstood your identities? I am the master of the territory. You are just subordinates arranged by me. Who gave you the courage to talk to me like this?" Harold pointed to the yin and yang and said that he was overconfident middle-aged man.

The six thugs behind Harold stepped forward in unison. The [Rogue Knight] was no less powerful than ordinary extraordinary knights. Although they did not have extraordinary abilities, their physical fitness was even better.

The old hermaphrodite was directly thrown into the dungeon by Harold. He was originally the eldest son of a certain nobleman in the Kingdom of Lucanir, but because he had not awakened his bloodline and offended his brother who had awakened his bloodline, he was exiled.

At that time, the territory was short of manpower, so he was recruited to be the mayor. Unexpectedly, this guy was still not calm, so he came to Harold to find a sense of presence.

The dwarf representative was a good old man to persuade Harold to calm down, and also expressed that the dwarf supported Harold's decision by the way. According to the law of the Kingdom of Corondo, half of all minerals should be given to the dwarves. Of course, the dwarves must assist the Kingdom of Corondo when it is in trouble.

Opening up new territories means more minerals. Don't the dwarves agree with it.

The meeting came to an end first. Harold understood that he could not imitate Marcus's land reclamation plan before. Marcus had a high prestige. Which official would dare to object to the land reclamation plan?

All the dignified people in the territory set off with their families and followed Marcus. Marcus is a nobleman, and the nobles control the fate of the little people.

Without that prestige, Harold can't tie people to open up wasteland, right?
