The tax collector would then collect the wheat and other taxes due from the farmers before the tax collector arrived. The tax collector was rather sloppy in this process, with sloppy management and underhanded payments.

They may think that a sudden change in the way they have been doing things will cause a backlash, but the fall of the Reinsatz family and the beginning of the new Reed family's rule in its place may be a chance to forcefully change things.

"Well, it's Kyle's territory. Do what you want with it, but do it with a good deal of nostalgia at first, okay? If they promptly cooperate in registering their family and residence registers, taxes will be significantly reduced for a few years, or the loss of vested interests will be compensated somewhere else. We have to work around that."

Currently, in Reed territory, you have to pay a certain amount of money to get a new name of Reed family, but if you can get it if you cooperate without any complaints, it could be a different story.
