The King

  Winter goes to spring, and the earth is full of vitality again. The scars left by the war have faded from Wright and Wyton counties.

  The joy of a good harvest is the most heart-warming. The spring grains are in storage, and the days of starvation are coming to an end, and the mountain leaders are also immersed in joy.

  Master Hudson, who was in a good mood, even generously invited the citizens to taste white bread once. Raised the conscience of the lord's world to a new height.

  Even the hard-working slave finally enjoyed a lunch without eating dirt on this day.

   It was a bad start by a group of northern nobles. Originally, Master Hudson never added soil to the bread.

  Since learning the rumor that orcs can eat soil, the poor-quality bread provided to these guys has increased by 10% saline soil.

  The effect is very good. The cost of salt in the territory has dropped by one-third. The expenditure on rations has also been reduced a lot.

  By the way, it also shocked people's hearts and greatly improved the progress of land reclamation. Especially the few guarantors who are late in the progress, all of them are working hard, for fear that they will have to live on dirt after consecutive bottoms.

   In the end, Master Hudson is still kind, and he didn't let everyone eat dirt directly.

  However, the "Baobao" who is at the bottom of the land reclamation is really having a hard time. It is a basic operation to replace the chief of staff. The rations can only get the lowest share of the people, and all kinds of benefits have to be paid later.

   Also affected are the working groups with the slowest progress in the mining area. The final elimination system was obviously mastered by Master Hudson.

   In the end, he became the person he hated the most.

   After some tossing, the effect is also remarkable.

  The production capacity of the mining area is rising steadily, and the monthly output value on the books directly exceeds the 15,000 gold coin mark.

  According to this output value, the distance from paying off the debt is still far away.

  It was all caused by opening up new markets. Master Hudson, who is addicted to advance payment, couldn't stop at all.

  As the price of expanding production, the net profit of the product plummets. It is mainly the middleman channel, which takes away part of the profits.

  Everything is worthwhile, and the result of the profit sharing directly led to the Mountain Territory becoming the largest iron products trading center in the southeastern province.

  The horse-drawn carriages that flow endlessly every day, it seems that it is a prosperous place. The booming business has greatly enhanced the confidence of creditors.

  In order to provide better services to business travelers, Master Hudson even stopped the construction team of the Lord's Mansion, and built hotels and taverns as quickly as possible...

   Looking at the rising turnover, Hudson was not happy.

  It has never been a good business model to supplement the price with quantity.

  Compared with the excess profits brought by the production of weapons and equipment, making these ordinary daily necessities is completely incomparable.

  Even if the supporting service industry is included, the net income of the territory has dropped by 20% compared with the peak period.

   Fortunately, it is not a listed company and does not need to release financial reports to the outside world, otherwise the stock price would have to plummet.

  Prosperity can cover up all crises, and the scene of heavy traffic allows Hudson to successfully create a person who is not bad for money.

  As for the debt owed, as long as it does not need to be paid in real money, all of them can be ignored.

  Even if someone comes to collect collections, it is evidence of a booming business. As long as the mine is not hollowed out, this scene can continue to sing.

  Frantically accumulating money is finally reflected in the construction of the territory.

  The **** road under construction has been completed for 7 miles and is still expanding at a rate of 3 miles per month.

   There is no mechanical equipment, it is done purely by hand, and the speed can be achieved because of the face of the terrain.

  In addition to the repair and widening of the original road, the total mileage of the avenue that can accommodate two carriages has directly exceeded eighteen miles.

  All kinds of forked paths, that's more. It was not included in the statistical category just because it did not meet the high requirements of Master Hudson.

  The results of land reclamation also exceeded expectations.

  The result of involution is remarkable. The original plan of 20,000 mu has been directly increased to 33,000 mu.

  The data directly made Master Hudson abandon his uneasy conscience. Facts have proved that grinding foreign labor is indeed undesirable.

  Of course, the increase in labor force in the later period is also one of the reasons for exceeding expectations.

  The only thing that has not seen results is the swampland. After all, the development time is too short, and only a few hundred acres of land have been successfully isolated.

   In this regard, Hudson is the least anxious. The rows of ditches will not deceive people, once they are connected, they will become a water network.

  The raised land in the middle is just used to grow rice, and even the seed Hudson was bought back by someone.

  Although the Alpha Kingdom does not have the habit of eating rice, this does not affect Hudson's decision in the slightest.

   If you can't sell it, you can eat it at home, which is to improve everyone's living habits. Anyway, judging from the situation in the mountainous territories, there will be no food to sell for a long time in the future.

  Behind the remarkable achievements, there must be a dark scene.

  The serfs are alright. Although they are attrition, the population still increases slightly including those in the stomachs of pregnant women.

  The loss of slaves is a bit big, it may be that they have no experience in managing slaves for the first time, and more than 500 people were lost in less than two months.

   Among them, the swamp swallowed half.

   Most of them are stupid. When working, he is careless, sneaky and sneaky, and does not take safety production seriously.

  Facing this situation, the supervisors were also very helpless.

   The reminder "again and again, again and again", despite the fact that everyone can't understand the language, it's all about playing the piano with cows, pigs, mice, and....

  Perhaps because he did not inherit the IQ of the second senior brother, Pig's casualty rate directly occupied the top spot.

  If you want to make up for the loss, you only need to lock the male and female piggies together and let them mate freely, and a new litter can be added in a few months.

   Undoubtedly, as an orthodox nobleman, Hudson would definitely not do this kind of expansion of the orc group.

   What can you do? The race that eats first is obviously not the labor force that Master Hudson needs.

   Survival of the fittest is a natural law.

   There are a lot of these slave races in the Orc Empire, and they are far from the point where they need to protect endangered species.

  The mountainous region is booming, and other nobles are not idle.

   Baron Kettley, who has been cheated many times by Hudson, finally managed to catch up with this wave.

   Benefiting from the increase in business travel to and from the Mountain Territory, the casinos and entertainment venues in the Maple Leaf Territory have also boosted their business.

  Although it is not popular, it is finally profitable.

   Especially the hot performances of interracial beauties can attract a lot of attention every time.

  It's a pity that Baron Kettley has regulations. These women usually only receive nobles for the night, and do not accept business from merchants.

   The only exception is the monthly auction, where the highest bidder wins.

  Typical self-inflated prices, but everyone still likes it.

  Originally, Baron Kettler could earn more, but unfortunately, Baron Sith followed suit in Dadir City and stole a large number of noble customers.

   Without waiting for Hudson to do something, the conflict of interests made the relationship between the two worse.

   This kind of money is destined to not last long. If there are no accidents, there will be many northern nobles following up.

   Even some jealous guys who are not qualified to follow suit will directly sell beauties of different races.

   These two are not the only nobles in the north who have developed well. One side of water and soil has the characteristics of one side of water and soil.

  Some smart nobles have already sold some special products of the Northland locally. The business is not very good, but it is profitable after all.

  You can make money by doing business, so why fight and kill?

  The days of Liwei are over, what is needed now is integration. Smart people have adjusted their mentality early.

  If this kind of peaceful life lasts for a hundred or eighty years, it is estimated that the label of "Northern Nobility" will gradually fade from people's sight, leaving only a folktale.

  Unfortunately, the reality is cruel. Just as the spring plowing was arranged, Hudson received an unexpected letter.

  Miss Melissa, who was studying in the capital, suddenly sent a letter telling him that Kayo Dalton graduated early.

   This familiar yet unfamiliar name quickly awakened Hudson's memory.

  The lord of Fallen Leaf Town in Wyton County, who has not arrived for a long time, happens to be called by this name.

  If it's just this identity, it's not enough to move Hudson. A baron in the district, he has long ignored him.

   But the problem is this guy's last name—Dalton.

  Hudson has used his family connections to inquire. This guy is the nephew of the current owner, Earl Pierce, and he is also the only nephew.

  If it wasn't for being big enough, he wouldn't be named in the kingdom's mage group. After a few credits, he got a rich fief.

  Reincarnation is such a technical job, I can't envy you.

  There is no one there, but the development of Luoye Town is not slow at all.

  Even if it is just a steward who is in charge of the territory, relying on the name of the Dalton family, it will still be smooth sailing.

  With a strong background and developing within his own sphere of influence, as long as Baron Cayo is not an idiot, there is basically no suspense about the position of Sheriff of Wyton County.

   The nobles in Wyton County are far less active than the nobles in Wright County, and it is estimated that this is also the reason.

  Knowing that they can't compete, naturally no one will take the lead easily and arouse the hostility of the future county guard.

   Unlike Wright County, from the beginning of a pack of heroes, it has developed into a duo now.

   Until the final result comes out, no one dares to say who will have the last laugh, Hudson or Sith.

  From the standpoint of Hudson, I naturally hope that this guy will spend a few more years in the capital.

   Baron Cayo is not here, Hudson is the most eye-catching boy among the local nobles.

  The few active representatives at the beginning had been taught by the nobles of the Northlands in the previous struggles.

   The loser has no right to speak.

  The only Hudson who has fought against the nobles of the Northland many times and has not been beaten by society has naturally become a spiritual leader.

  This identity does not have any substantial power, but it has great influence among the local nobles.

  The smooth development of the mountainous territory is also strongly related to this invisible influence.

  Combined with the military strength and financial resources of the Mountain Territory, even if you go outside, you can still be looked at.

  It's a pity that all of these things add up to a surname of "Dalton".

   It cannot be said that all the local nobles will be pulled over, but it is inevitable that Hudson's right to speak among the local nobles will be diverted.

  Knowing that soft power will be weakened, Hudson can't do anything about the perpetrator.

  Replying a letter as quickly as possible, arranging a gift, and asking someone to bring it over as a token of gratitude, Hudson immediately threw himself into the response.

   Although members of the Koslow family are widely distributed, most of them are concentrated in the lower layers of the aristocratic group, and the penetration into the middle and upper layers is really too weak.

   Logically speaking, with Kayo's status, he should have been noticed by the family.

  But it was Miss Melissa who first notified Hudson of the important news of graduating early.

   Is it because the family members in the imperial capital deliberately slack off, or is there really nothing they can do. Hudson prefers to believe it's the latter.

  Stalking at the Academy of Magic is obviously not something ordinary people can do. As far as the size of the Koslow family is concerned, it's just too tiring to get close to it.

   In case of being caught by others, it will be +1 for the magic test subject.

  The gentle mages, who seem to be gentle and elegant, are never soft when they are tossing people. Running around in front of people and sneaking around is simply tired of work.

   Letters one after another kept flying out from the mountains, as if the parchment was free of money.

  According to the spread of the letter, a **** storm that is about to unfold around the two counties of Wyton and Wright began to brew secretly.

  …

  In the royal capital, Baron Cayo, who has completed the graduation ceremony, is looking at the campus with the last nostalgia.

   "Master, it's time to get on the road."

  The housekeeper's words pulled Kayo out of his memory.

   "Well, let's go!"

   After finishing speaking, Baron Cayo turned and left.

  Compared to inheriting the territory, he is more willing to become a great magician, to explore the true meaning of life, and wait for one day to become a saint.

  It's a pity that magician is a profession that requires talent. The Magic Academy has gathered magic elites from the entire kingdom, but in the end there are very few who are qualified to explore in depth.

  He is almost 30 years old and has not yet been able to become a senior mage. Kayo's path as a magician has basically been declared dead.

  Noble children can have ideals, but they are never allowed to be divorced from reality.

   After encountering a bottleneck and being unable to break through for a long time, Kayo also had to change his path.

  A magician is much more expensive than a knight gold, but just an intermediate magician is still dispensable to the Dalton family.

  Unless he can become a wizard, Kayo won't have much say.

  Including the current title, there are many interested children in the family. If his uncle was not the head of the family, such a good job would not have fallen on him at all.

  Since he got into the carriage, Kayo kept looking through the information, which not only showed the development of Fallen Leaf Town, but also clearly recorded everything that happened in the two counties of Wyton and Wright.

  …

  The background of the big noble is not comparable to that of the small noble. Not long after Baron Cayo’s convoy left the capital, Sith received the exact news, and even the route he took was marked out.

   "According to the information, this Baron Cayo is a magic madman. I really don't know what the Dalton family thinks about letting such a person be the lord of the Fallen Leaf Lord.

   I think our Baron Hudson will have a common topic with him, after all, they are all magicians! "

  Sith said contemptuously.

   It's not that he looks down on people on purpose. In fact, they are both magicians, and they are also divided into three, six, and nine classes.

  Hudson, a wild mage who relies on luck, has always been the most despised.

  Others have worked hard for decades, but in the end they become magicians with the guys who are talented in Warcraft, and normal people will feel unbalanced.

  Especially a lucky guy like Hudson, who got the talent of the Earth Bear, is even more hated.

  Under the same level of cultivation, an orthodox mage who works hard will most likely not be able to beat a wild mage who came out. Who will not have a broken mind?

  Especially for students who were dismissed from the Magic Academy due to lack of talent, it was even more exciting.

   It just so happens that Kayo and Hudson are still competitors. If there is a little jealousy mixed in with the interests, the scene will be even better.

  Once the two quarrel, the local nobles will be divided. For all the nobles of the Northlands, this is a very good thing.

   "Master, these materials may not be true. What the Dalton family wants is not just a fallen leaf collar, their appetite is much greater than this.

  Whitton County seems to be at peace. That's because Baron Cayo, the main character, is not around. Everyone deliberately restrained their desire to fight.

  Once this guy's performance falls short of expectations, I'm afraid it will not be so peaceful in the future.

   Now that the competition is so fierce, no matter how willful the Dalton family is, it is impossible to help a pig to the position of sheriff. "

  Butler Faerun's words made Baron Sith's face darken.

  In a world of great contention, all families continue to allocate resources to the best children.

  If it was in the peaceful years, it would be fine if he was an illegitimate child who was incompetent. If he really wanted extraordinary ability, that would be the way to die.

  Now the illegitimate children can all share part of the resources because of their own abilities, which is enough to prove that it is a harbinger of the coming storm.

  Under this background, it is obviously illogical for the Dalton family to throw precious resources on a waste.

   "You are right, indeed no one should be underestimated.

  Although on the bright side, the Hudson guy will be affected by Kayo's arrival, but the two are not in the same county after all, and the probability of a conflict breaking out in a short time is not high.

  On the contrary, because of the arrival of Kayo, some nobles who were suppressed by us will become active again.

   It just so happens that Kayo also needs to build up his prestige, so he may take advantage of the trend and point the finger at my northern Xinjiang children.

  The northern nobles in Wyton County have been hit, and it is difficult for Dadir City to survive alone. Once the turmoil expands, I'm afraid I will have to face it in the end. "

  Sith frowned and said.

  Facts have once again proved that it is not easy to be the boss. Obviously it has nothing to do with him, but he has no choice but to stand up for the younger brothers.

   "Master, I'm afraid this is not a 'maybe', but a 'definitely'.

  For the first time, this Baron Cayo only has the surname of Dalton, and it is difficult to suppress the mountain baron in terms of prestige.

   Promptly provoking internal disputes will not only disappoint the nobles who want revenge, but also push many originally neutral local nobles to his opposite.

   Unless Baron Cayo can give up the leadership dispute among the local nobles, even if he doesn't want to turn against us, I'm afraid he won't be able to help himself. "

  …
