"As long as the majority of the nobles comply, it would be more manageable." Duke Muria tapped the table in front of him. "Every department should submit a list of the nobles who have ignored the new tax laws, who have not executed the orders that I have given. Include in your list their clan members, territory locations, their control over their troops, and resources."
Upon hearing Muria's request, the leaders of these secret agencies each handed in a roster they had prepared in advance, to a eunuch standing aside which was then placed on Muria's table for his perusal.
Muria took a brief moment to skim through some of the rosters which were piled up high, finding that the records were incredibly detailed, even recording the biographies and deeds of the rebellious nobles.
