Xin Yu suspected that the Cassel family had been pitted by the emperor of the Rhaegar Empire, and most of their territory was undeveloped primeval forest.

Those primeval forests are generally very dangerous, even if you live nearby, a large number of monsters will run out to hunt humans at night.

It is clear that the Cassel family fell into a trap when they were canonized as counts, and although the Cassel family's territory seems large, most of the area is primeval forest, and these lands are difficult to use.

Moreover, it is very dangerous to reclaim these forests, and Xin Yu can easily burn all those forests by relying on the dragon killing adventure group.

If you are an ordinary nobleman, if you want to open up those primeval forests, you must have a strong army, or hire those powerful adventurers to wipe out all the monsters in the forest.

Fortunately, Xin Yu has now burned a large number of forests, and the land covered with ash will be the most fertile farmland, and Xin Yu only needs enough people to plant these lands.

As for the peasants who farmed, the Rhaegar Empire was now full of them.

At a distance of almost fifty miles east of the Xin Yu territory, a large number of displaced people gathered here.

The displaced people are suffering from hunger, and they will appear anywhere in the Rhaegar Empire, and sometimes the displaced people will gather.

The Rhaegar Empire could not withstand such a large population, and although the land produced enough food for everyone, the Rhaegar Empire could not take out the grain in the granary for free and give it to these displaced people for free anyway.

What these displaced people really need is a job, whether it's farming in the fields or working as coolies on the docks.

However, the Rhaegar Empire also did not have so many jobs to provide for these displaced people, so they could only choose to absorb these displaced people into the army.

Despite this, there is a large number of displaced people.

Most of these displaced people will only be outside the city, because they need to pay an entry fee to enter the city, and these displaced people cannot afford to pay.

At this time, three knight lords on horseback came to these displaced people, looked at these displaced people in silence, and took out a notice and loudly announced:

"His Excellency Count Veronica is now clearing land in the eastern forest, and a large number of farmers are needed, and if there are those who are willing to become lords of Veronica's territory, they can sign the contract immediately."

Hearing this, the displaced people immediately beat the blood of chickens and ran madly to the knights.

"Grandpa Knight, me, me, me! I will farm, and I am willing to become Lord Veronica's lord!

"Me too! Lord Knight, I used to be a farmer, I can farm!

"I am a carpenter, Lord Knight, and I am willing to be Lord Veronica's lord!"

These displaced people are frantically vying for this opportunity, they are not beggars sitting and waiting to die, but they lack a chance to use physical strength in exchange for food.

After learning that they had the opportunity to become a noble lord and that they needed to farm, the displaced people scrambled to join, even if they were serfs, even if they never knew who the Count Veronica was.

The knight asked the peasants to line up in turn, and then one by one came to sign the contract, which was a labor contract, written by Xin Yu.

According to the content of this contract, Xin Yu will give the peasants a piece of land to these farmers to cultivate, and all seventy percent of the land harvest will be given to Xin Yu as the lord.

There are many other minutiae to ensure that this contract is not violated.

In the eyes of those displaced people, only seventy percent of the tax was already a very generous and benevolent lord.

These knights left with more than three hundred exiles who had signed the contract, and they would go to the eastern region of the Rhaegar Empire, which was the territory of the Cassel family inherited by Xin Yu.

Not only this place, Xin Yu asked the people in the dragon killer group and some hired knights to raid all the displaced people in the vicinity, most of these displaced people were peasants who had lost their land, and they would never refuse the temptation of land.

As soon as they came to Xin Yu's territory, they would be immediately assigned some seeds and agricultural tools, and Xin Yu would not let his subjects starve to death before the first wave of harvest arrived.

Xin Yu's development in his own territory naturally could not be concealed from other nobles, but those nobles were only amazed at the huge funds of this Count Veronica.

Whether it is clearing those forests or wanting to establish towns in their own territory, they need a lot of money as support, which also gives those nobles a new understanding of Xin Yu's wealth.

Considering that the identity of "Veronica" has always been the financial owner behind the dragon killing adventure group, and funded this adventure group to hunt a large number of magical beasts, those nobles were relieved.

Moreover, the act of clearing forests and establishing towns attracts many people who want to make profits.

Like those merchants, all kinds of businessmen.

For businessmen, a piece of land under development represents a wealth of business opportunities.

What's more, Xin Yu absorbs a large number of displaced people, and in the eyes of those businessmen, Xin Yu undoubtedly wants to do long-term development.

The merchants were very happy to cooperate with this kind of aristocracy.

But these merchants did benefit their territory.

Xin Yu realized this, so he did not stop those merchants from coming to his territory to look for business opportunities.

However, Xin Yu hides some special units in his territory to monitor those who are active in his territory.

Some crows have been wandering the land of the rain, sometimes in trees, sometimes on the eaves of houses, surviving by eating bugs and human-generated garbage.

Of course, if in Xin Yu's territory, someone commits a crime, such as murder. Things like rape and robbery, as soon as those criminals are caught, they are beheaded, and then their heads are stuck in spears to set an example.

Those dead people's heads are the favorite food of these crows, feeding all the crows in the Xin Yu territory.

For these crows, ordinary people will only think that they are ordinary birds, but there are always people who spy on everyone through the eyes and ears of crows.

It was the legendary necromancer Moriz, who was captured by Xin Yu as a strong man after Xin Yu began to run his own territory.

And if a war breaks out between the Orc King Court and the Rhaegar Empire, there will definitely be a lot of corpses, which is the best situation for a necromancer like Moriz.

But now Moriz has always been wanted, and Xin Yu can't let him walk in his territory, so Xin Yu just dug a basement under his castle and let Moriz stay here.

Now Moriz has transformed the basement into his own laboratory, and uses the [Eye of the Crow] spell to monitor everything in Xin Yu's territory.

Under Moriz's watch, some thieves who wanted to do things in their territory were also discovered.

Most importantly, Moriz saw some special people with the help of the eyes of a crow.
