But it is precisely this tenth of the nobility, whose assets are immense,
and their landholdings reach an exaggerated number.
According to preliminary estimates, these nobles own over a million acres of land, nearly 600,000 of which are farmland, a resource currently in short supply in Spain.
After all the assets of these rebellious nobles are completely inventoried, the land resources acquired will be even greater.
Although it won't completely solve Spain's arable land shortage, it will alleviate a significant portion of it.
Carlo does not intend to keep these lands under his control, but rather to sell or lease them to local people for cultivation.
Land sales are to be conducted at standard market prices, with up to 10% subsidy considered for some lower-income families.
If leased, it will strictly follow Spain's land leasing laws, and Carlo will not further reduce the rent, as appropriate fees sometimes help maintain relations with the populace.
