In the castle on Rhino Horn Mountain, Lordship and Baron were a little cramped. Of course, their aristocratic eyes could tell that the chairs they sat on and the floor under their feet were all terrifyingly delicate.

Not to mention the gorgeous crystal lamps hanging high above the head in the wide hall, and even those transparent windows seem to be some kind of pure transparent crystal, not the glass they bought at a high price from South West Coast.

The five-meter-high hall and the magnificence reflected in every detail made them marvel at the wealth of Ryan.

"You all seem to be very interested in these things. If everything goes well, I still have quite a few in my warehouse that I can give to you."

Ryan said as he walked in from the door.

He knew that Mage Luna actually made a lot of efforts for this castle, otherwise the hall would not have been completed so quickly.

For this reason, Ryan naturally paid Magic Crystal as a reward, and Mage Luna was very satisfied with it.

As time passed, in half a month, all the nobles of Zero Crossing Prefecture came to Frozen Earth Territory, including the two viscounts.

Only a few of the nobles of Zero Crossing Prefecture have gathered in Zero Crossing City for decades. No one could have imagined that one day they would gather in the most bitter and cold Frozen Earth Territory.

In fact, Baron of the Frozen Earth was sitting between the two viscounts.

"We are unlucky."

In the empty hall, Ryan's voice echoed majestically and solemnly.

"Orcs invaded our home, plundered our wealth, killed our people, and destroyed our farmland."

"We have endured so much this year."

"But we are also lucky."

"We survived such a disaster with tenacity, and Deities was amazed by our will."

"I also believe that we will definitely rebuild our home and our territory will be more prosperous than before."

"And the premise is that there will no longer be conflicts between us."

Ryan After finishing speaking, he looked at all the nobles. Finally, these nobles were not simply divided into two parts as before, but were intricately complicated.

The reputation of the two viscounts was finally broken this year.

Ryan continued after a pause:

"The emergence of Baronet System has doomed the disputes between lands. Only when the population comes together can the spark of civilization be unleashed, and the land should be connected together to generate more wealth."

"Northwind Province is so big that many places are wastelands, places that have never been developed. The same is true in Zero Crossing Prefecture."

"Our ancestors, the pioneers, they reclaimed the wasteland and established their own territory."

"From now on, we will follow the example of our ancestors and open up the barren land. Our glory will not be inferior to those of our ancestors. We will build a more prosperous and powerful territory."

"Our bloodline will start from us and become more noble and glorious."

After Ryan finished speaking, Bilder behind him brought up a stack of birch bark paper at the right time. According to Ryan's guidance, these papers were already very thin.

"I know that there are territorial disputes among you. No one is willing to give up his own land, and no one is willing to hand over the land to others."

"But we are nobles, and everything we do has rules. All impossibilities are because of... the price."

The paper in Ryan's hand appeared in the hands of every noble, and the map in each noble's hand was different.

There is a rough map outline of Zero Crossing Prefecture on it, as well as the location of their own territory.

"Before today, I discussed with the two viscounts and Baron that the boundaries drawn on these maps will become your new territory, and next to it is the price of the previous territory being traded."

"There will be nobles who will buy your territory, but it will only be territory. They will not touch any minerals and farm the fields. Until you have fields on the new land, you will choose whether to buy or sell the distant land."

"The fifth-class nobles to whom Lordship is attached will also provide reasonable assistance to Lordship. Lordship is also a noble, not a subject. They will have their own manor and their own land."

There was no surprise. After Ryan finished speaking, many Lordship stood up dissatisfied with his division.

"Baron Ryan, my Knightdom here will not belong to me. I will take my people and all the wealth to the territory of Baron Kendra, build my own manor on the existing territory or the edge of the territory, and cultivate fertile land."

"And my Knightdom, Baron Evra are only willing to pay fifteen thousand Gold Coin? Ten thousand of them still belong to Baron Kendra?"

Ryan looked at the other party with calm eyes and said:

"Baronet Tonne, this deal is more than that. Baron Evra will use his serfs and civilians to help you reclaim your farmland, and let his slaves help you mine Iron Ore. Seventy percent of the annual food crops will belong to you completely until you two negotiate or trade again ten years later."

"You'll save more than just a little Gold Coin."

"As for the fifteen thousand Gold Coin, ten thousand belong to Baron Kendra. You must know, Baronet Tonne, you are now Lordship of the Baron Kendra family territory. Baron is the one you are attached to. Even your land belongs to the name of Baron Kendra."

"You can be dissatisfied, but this is the Baronet System of the empire. Maybe you can go to Imperial Capital and express your dissatisfaction to Council of Elders."

"If you need more, you can also ask the two Baron for their opinions. They may be able to give you more help."

Ryan After finishing speaking, Tang En clenched his fists and sat down. It was obvious that he was unwilling to have his territory traded in such a simple way.

Soon, another Lordship stood up again.

"Why is it that Baronet Tonne's transaction is 70%, but I can only get 60% of the farmland and Iron Ore I own?"

"Forty percent belongs to Baron Barnes?"

Ryan looked at the other party, he was an insincere guy.

"Baronet Pound, your Knightdom has a population of only one thousand, and the amount of farmland cannot even support these one thousand people. Your Iron Ore has almost been mined."

"Baron Barnes will need to dispatch more manpower and the cost will be higher. Naturally, the distribution will change."

"If everyone is divided in the same way, is it possible that the land that can be cultivated by one family has the same cost as the land that can be cultivated by two families? Can two families consume the same food as one family?"

"Lordship Your territory is like this. Maybe you can open up more fertile land in the new land."

"Besides, I don't want this land planning to require a war to be resolved."

Ryan's last words frightened all the nobles.
