Harold returned to his territory. After greeting Rand and his two mothers, he went to the Council hall and began to think about the next plan. He calculated the territory''s population, his wealth and various external factors. He didn''t sleep until midnight.

    Early the next morning, he summoned all the town chiefs and guard chiefs of the territory to the castle for talks, and recalled all the system troops under him.

    At noon, all the management of the territory were in place. In the conference hall of the castle, Harold sat at one end of the long table. More than 20 territory officials took their seats from near to far according to their status. Harold''s six [rogue Knights] stood behind Harold with straight backs and eyes.

    In addition to the captain of the guard and the mayor arranged by him, a dwarf representative sat at the other end of the long table.

    "The kingdom of Colombo has been established for 10 years. Before the establishment of the country, I have ruled this territory for nearly 15 years!"

    "Over the past 15 years, the villages in the territory have become self-sufficient since it is difficult to survive, and the cities and towns are becoming richer and richer. The main city of the territory ''forging city'' has become one of the largest cities in the whole kingdom!"

    Harold paused deliberately when he said this. One of the mayor he arranged in advance clapped excitedly, and others applauded. Even the dwarf representative applauded with great cooperation.

    Harlott''s territorial governance is really good, especially the forging city. Dwarves feel more comfortable in this city than in their hometown dwarf kingdom. They can meet everything from mining, iron making and wine.

    The applause lasted for a long time. Harold reached out to stop and said the theme of today''s meeting.

    "Ladies and gentlemen, I called you here to discuss the reclamation plan after discussion! This land is very vast. We can''t be satisfied with the status quo and must move towards a greater goal!"

    "I''m going to open up new territory in half a year. I need your support!"

    Harold didn''t train his own team. He didn''t just fight and kill to open up wasteland. He had to have a lot of people to help manage the construction. He needed the help of these people very much.

    "I agree. With the wise leadership of Lord harlott, it will be easy to open up wasteland!" the nursery arranged by harlott quickly jumped out to agree.

    This time, other people didn''t follow the childcare. They frowned and didn''t say a word. For a moment, the atmosphere was a little embarrassed, and the childcare also felt a little embarrassed.

    Harold sighed in his heart. He knew it wasn''t so simple. This nursery was too stupid. It didn''t mean direct exposure. You''d better wait for the critical moment to speak again!

    "My Lord, our territory has not developed to the limit, so there is no need to expand it in a hurry? The town I manage has just got rid of poverty. I think it''s not too late to start reclaiming wasteland after the next generation grows up!"

    "Yes, now a large area of land is still empty. Many new villages can be built. The population is far from saturated. Adults, you are also young. Don''t worry!"

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

    In this era, we don''t pay attention to democratic co governance. The Lord is a dictator in his own territory. If he has any orders, that is, no two, but Harold is now refuted in public.

    "These guys don''t treat me as the real master of the territory!" Harold was very angry. Indeed, all the people in the territory didn''t treat Harold as a ruler, but as a higher ranking manager.

    First, Harold is too young! Even in a world where life expectancy is not high, you have to be 16 to be an adult.

    Second, harlott has neither made military achievements nor is he a direct relative or knight of Marcus. It seems to everyone that harlott became a Lord only by the favor of Marcus, which is very different from other rulers, let alone noble lords.

    And what does Harold think of himself?

    As a newly rich man in the Kingdom, he was more close to him than his own son. Marcus, the king''s biggest nobleman, did not treat him as an outsider at all. The powerful elves such as tiona and Ailan were also close and equal to him. In addition, he was a transgressor, a reborn man and a golden finger.

    Harold always thought he was better than the nobility!

    Harlott and the dignitaries in his territory have a completely different understanding of him, resulting in the current embarrassing situation.

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

    Harold pressed down his anger and continued to persuade the dignitaries of these territories. Most of them were noble children or descendants of knights who had not awakened their blood. Civilians were illiterate and could not be responsible for management. Harold had no chance to be promoted.

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

    "It''s not so simple to open up wasteland. Just because nobles can do it doesn''t mean anyone can do it. We must recognize our abilities. Please consider it again, sir!"

    I consider you XX, harlott slapped the table, and you taught me a lesson?

    "Are you mistaken about your identity? I''m the master of the territory. You''re just my subordinates. Who gives you the courage to talk to me like that?" Harold pointed to the middle-aged man who said he was overconfident.

    The six thugs behind Harold walked forward together. The strength of [rogue Knight] was no less than that of ordinary extraordinary knights. Although they had no extraordinary ability, their physical quality was better.

    The old yin-yang man was directly put into the dungeon by Harold. He was originally the eldest son of an aristocrat in the lucanier kingdom. He was exiled because he didn''t awaken his blood and offended his awakened brother.

    At that time, the territory was short of manpower, so he was recruited as a mayor. Unexpectedly, this guy''s mentality was still uneven. He came to Harold to find a sense of existence.

    The dwarf representative made a good man to persuade Harold to calm down, and also expressed the dwarf''s support for Harold''s decision. According to the law of the kingdom of Colombo, half of all minerals shall be distributed to the dwarves. Of course, the dwarves must help in case of difficulties in the kingdom of Colombo in the future.

    Opening up new territory is more minerals. Don''t the dwarves want to raise their hands in favor.

    When the meeting came to an end, Harold understood that he could not imitate the previous Marcus'' land reclamation plan. Marcus had high prestige. Which of the officials who said they would go to the land reclamation dare to object?

    All dignitaries in the territory set out with Marcus. Marcus is the master of the aristocracy. The aristocracy controls the fate of small people and cannot resist the aristocracy. This view is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

    Harold can''t tie people to open up wasteland without that prestige, can he?
