King

Bayda City, Governor's Palace.

Earl Pierce, who was given an excuse to intervene, was not only not overjoyed, but instead frowned even more.

It seemed that the northern nobles and the local nobles were fighting a bloody battle, but in fact the fight between the two sides still stayed within the rules.

Except for those noble lords who led troops to rob people, there was no extended revenge, and most of the local nobles still stayed out of the matter.

As for the nobles involved in this turmoil, except for a few who joined on their own initiative due to greed, most of them had some connection with the Dalton family.

He originally wanted to use the power of the local nobles to drive out these outsiders, but he didn't expect that he would eventually become the younger brother of the Dalton family and the PK of the northern Xinjiang nobles.

Everyone's attention was focused on the struggle for the territory's citizens. The territory border conflict that was supposed to break out failed to make waves.

This is the inevitable result. There is no living person in the territory, so who has the time to care about the enclave's problems.

Even if we want to solve the enclave problem, we must have a certain economic foundation. It’s all no man’s land now, so there’s nothing to fight about.

Do you blame the younger brothers for doing bad things with good intentions?

Earl Pierce is not that stupid.

Maybe the younger brothers are both good and bad in terms of ability, but at least there is nothing wrong with their loyalty. At a hint from the boss, he came out and charged into battle without hesitation.

It was not possible to draw all the local nobles into the water, but at least dozens of them were drawn in, so it cannot be regarded as a completely wasted effort.

Hatred can be built up. It may seem like you are just bullying a noble family, but in fact you are offending a circle behind you.

If you don't get involved, it's because you don't have enough interest. Everyone joined forces to beat up the nobles of Northern Xinjiang, but other than a bad breath, they couldn't get any more benefits.

Even if people are driven out of the Southeast Province, the Dalton family will benefit the most. This is the fundamental reason why everyone chooses to wait and see.

Of course, Adrian doesn't count.

They work the hardest when they are robbing people, they shout the loudest slogans before the fight starts, and they are immediately destroyed as soon as the fight breaks out.

I originally thought that this guy could drag the Koslow family into the water, but after being thwarted by him, the Koslow family got an advantage. It was too late to have fun while standing on the shore, so how could they jump into the water.

Facts have proved that as long as your background is strong enough, even if you just mess it up casually, you can still make your opponent's scalp numb.

No, after failing to get the explanation they wanted from the nobles of Northern Xinjiang, they confidently took the lawsuit to the Governor's Mansion.

As a result, Count Pierce didn't know whether to reward him or catch him and give him a scolding.

"Go ahead and implement the second plan. First, give the guys in Northern Xinjiang a warning to let them know who is the master of the Southeast Province.

Inform all the fiefdom lords in the two counties that I will personally go to Dadir City in ten days to mediate the recent disputes. "

The order of the kingdom still exists, and the duties of the governor must still be performed.

No matter how you fight in secret, you can fight. Once it is brought to the table, you must abide by the rules of the game.

Attacking a noble's territory without any reason is strictly prohibited by the kingdom's laws. If the rules can be trampled on at will, how can the small and medium-sized nobles feel safe?

…

Dadir City, or the ruins of Dadir. After carrying out simple repairs on the city with the help of the captured serfs, the Sith Baron finally had a place to stay.

Among the nobles from Northern Xinjiang who went south, the Sith were already doing best. Other nobles were still cleaning up the ruins of the castle, and he had already moved into the city lord's mansion.

Especially with the merit of leading a group of northern Xinjiang nobles to launch a counterattack and take back the people, the reputation in the group is also rising.

There are many famous people, and trouble comes just after a few days of good times.

The lawsuit in the Governor's Mansion is nothing, it's just a matter of wrangling. Although I suffered a heavy loss, the actual loss was not large.

There were no serious consequences, it was just asking the boy involved to apologize and promise never to do it again. At most, the compensation is symbolic, just as a lesson.

Compared with the loss of face, the pragmatic northern Xinjiang nobles still pay more attention to their appearance.

"Dear Sith Baron, we are here to ask for your help. This day is really unbearable.

Shortly after the counterattack was launched, prices began to soar. I thought it was because of the tense situation that profiteers were deliberately driving up prices, but I didn't expect that prices would soar even more after the war.

Rye has soared from three copper coins per pound to seven copper coins; peas have soared from two copper coins per pound to five copper coins; wheat prices have also soared to ten copper coins per pound; inferior table salt mixed with sand and soil has soared even more. At one denarius per pound...

In short, the prices of all commodities are soaring. One price in the morning and another price in the afternoon.

I was arguing with those guys, but I didn't expect that the profiteers didn't give me any face at all. They just bought what they wanted and pulled me down if they didn't. They also mocked me as a barbarian from northern Xinjiang.

In a rage, I ordered the arrest of these guys. As a result, no caravan has entered my territory since then..."

Speaking of the latter part, this tough man almost cried.

It's really a shame to bully the nobles. Such arrogant businessmen are rare in the entire continent of Aslant.

For nobles, face is as big as the sky. If they are both nobles, just exchange a few words. If mere merchants dare to cause trouble, it is because they suspect that the sword in their hands is not good.

Even if he doesn't do anything openly, he will take revenge secretly. Most of those caravans that disappeared without explanation were the result of noble hands.

"What the Sith Baron and Knight Daeron said are all true. These merchants are too arrogant and don't take us seriously at all.

Not only are prices driven up, but the quality of the goods sold is also getting worse and worse.

In the past, profiteers would at most mix some old grain into new grain; now it is a miracle to find even a grain of new wheat among old grain.

Look at this bag of wheat, you don’t need to grind it, just shake it and it turns into powder..."

"Justin Knight, please don't embarrass the Sith Baron. We have all encountered this situation.

I can tell you the truth, prices are skyrocketing not only in Wright and Wyton counties, but also in the entire southeastern province.

To be precise, this round of skyrocketing prices is just a surge for us. Local nobles can still get cheap goods by relying on their personal connections.

When the prices of other commodities rise, we can still find ways to reduce consumption, but this is not the case for food.

What's even more troublesome is that now is just the beginning. What we need to face next may no longer be the quality of the food, but whether we can buy enough food.

I spent a lot of money to bribe a grain merchant, and learned a shocking news from him - the nobles of the southeastern provinces are likely to stop selling grain to the outside world this year. "

Baron Bazel said in shock.

I had known that the local nobles were not soft persimmons, but I didn't expect that their revenge would be so brutal.

Just lead the troops to fight and everyone will not be intimidated. But as soon as you get started, you run out of food. How do you respond?

After finally winning a counterattack, it was supposed to be a time to celebrate the victory, but the joy turned into tragedy.

For the lords of Northern Xinjiang, the people in their hands have become a hot potato. The greater the population in the territory, the faster the food consumption rate.

Once the inventory in hand is used up, everyone will be hungry. However, feeding the people is still the sacred duty of the lord, and he cannot shirk it at all.

The Sith Baron felt a little unhappy at being announced the answer first, but there was no change on his face.

"Baron Bazel is right, a group of local nobles in the Southeast Province are indeed showing signs of blocking us.

The main reason is that in recent days, everyone has been tossing too much and offended too many people.

This skyrocketing price of goods is caused by the secret efforts of the families behind these guys.

Of course, the Dalton family must be indispensable for this, and it is even possible that they are the real masterminds behind the scenes.

The purpose is to drive us out of the southeastern province. "
