Chapter 118: big deal

  Chapter 118 Big deal

  The dead lizards were not wasted. After being salvaged, all of them were wholesaled to Baron Cayo.

   Those who can play magic, none of them are poor ghosts, and some are capital toss. Magic materials have never been short of sales.

  More than forty lizards were sold for 800 gold coins, and Hudson was very satisfied.

  If Baron Kayo hadn’t happened to appear, these ugly, foul-smelling monsters would most likely enter the stomachs of orc slaves.

   It's a pity that I forgot to ask Bear Stearns to keep the live ones. According to Baron Cayo, the price of live lizards can triple.

   It can be sold at such a price, mainly because the swamp is a restricted area for humans. Even if you organize people to go deep into the swamp, it will be difficult to pull these guys out from the depths of the quagmire.

   Extravagant magical research, Hudson has no interest in participating. If you have this spare time, you might as well learn bear magic from Bear Stearns.

   Does not require instant casting of spells, which is much more efficient than human magic. Anyway, they are all open and hung, so naturally they should be opened a little bigger.

  If he is not too young, with this instant magic, he can go out and pretend to be a magister.

   What restricts the improvement of Hudson's spellcasting level is mainly the lack of mental power. The magic power can be cheated, but the spiritual power is your own.

  Theoretically speaking, if you don't have enough mental power to control magic power, you can forcefully release more powerful magic, but you need to bear the backlash caused by the loss of control of magic.

  Hudson is timid, since he accidentally burned his clothes when he released Mantian Huowu last time, he stopped all attempts to die.

  Fortunately, the level of Man Tian Huo Wu is not high. If the unknown learner releases the forbidden spell, it is estimated that he will become "another" person who killed himself by playing magic.

   The mental power of an intermediate magician, then the intermediate magician is fine. There is only one life, there is no need to risk your own life just to pretend to be aggressive.

   "Intermediate knight + intermediate magician + sharpshooter".

  With such strength, Hudson can be regarded as the top-notch genius among his peers.

   There are not no more powerful geniuses, but they all exist in myths and legends. In the real world, there is still a bit of "logic" to be said.

  No matter how powerful the talent is, it will take time to accumulate in order to transform it into strength. The strong are honed in blood and fire, and the flowers in the greenhouse cannot withstand the wind and rain.

   After seeing off Baron Cayo, Hudson secretly calculated the gains and losses of this meeting.

  The matter of land reclamation cannot be kept secret, and if it is exposed, it will be exposed.

  The Dalton family has no shortage of land, and the tens of thousands of acres of mountainous land are not in the eyes of others.

  It is just a plan to increase food production, which must be temporarily interrupted. Especially the land in the plain area, the marsh brand fertilizer can no longer be used in it.

  It can be said that the grain harvest in one year is accidental. Every year, grain production has increased greatly, which cannot be explained by chance.

  As long as people with a heart continue to pay attention, they will eventually increase food production and connect with Marsh brand fertilizers.

   On the contrary, the newly opened mountainous areas can be used continuously. As long as the amount is limited and the grain production is slightly lower than that in the plain areas, there will be no major problems.

  The land in the hilly area is not static, and the soil quality is different in different regions. If fertile soil happened to be developed, then the grain output would be a little lower than that of the plains.

  Perhaps we should plant more crops such as soybeans, flax, potatoes, etc. that do not pick the ground. Even if it is charged a little more, it will not arouse suspicion.

  No matter what crops are planted, they will not be wasted. In the huge mountainous land, except for Hudson, the lord who is qualified to be picky eaters, everyone else eats whatever they want.

   Potatoes serve as a staple food, and it's no big deal. As long as you can fill your stomach, it's not a problem.

  The more vegetable oil, the better. Whether it increases the oil and water in the stomachs of the residents, or processing soap, it is a big fuel consumer, and no amount of soybeans can be consumed.

   Even the residue left over from oil extraction can be fed to livestock, and some orc races with good stomachs can digest it without any waste.

   Grasp the speed of it, even if it is spread, people will only lament that Baron Hudson is lucky, and he can encounter fertile soil even when opening up wasteland.

  Some people found the use of swamp mud, it can also be inferred that the newly reclaimed wasteland soil layer is too thin and needs to be thickened.

   For the rest of the content, someone will naturally help to make up the brain. Even if there are some unreasonable things, others will find ways to help rationalize them.

   Although the "good luck" hat is easy to envy and hate, the benefits brought by this thing are also amazing.

  After experiencing many things, everyone will get used to it. No matter what good things happen, if Hudson meets him, everyone will feel normal.

   If you don’t believe it, go back and look through the history books left by your ancestors. The above "legendary characters" started their careers, each one is more magical than the other.

  From the very beginning, Hudson has been deliberately deepening the imprint of "good luck", which has caused many people to attribute his success to luck and prevented many unnecessary troubles.

   No one wants to ask for trouble. When encountering a particularly lucky guy, even if a normal person does not take the initiative to make friends, he will not deliberately offend him.

   Fortunately, Baron Cayo is a magician, and the focus of his attention is always involuntarily associated with magic, and he is not interested in the worldly level of technology.

   Otherwise, if you go to participate in the steelmaking furnace, the biggest secret of the mountain leader will be exposed. For a long time to come, the mining area will be the most important industry in the mountainous area, and the technology must not be leaked.

   After all, there are still too few talents, not even one who can discuss major issues. Even if Hudson mobilized all his contacts and asked everyone to help search for some management talents, it still had little effect in the end.

  The truly talented people are basically monopolized by the big nobles. Occasionally a few are born, and that is also among the noble children. Unless the family completely declines, it will not be able to dig at all.

  The core reason is that mountainous areas are not attractive enough to talents. With Hudson's current family background, it is not as useful as the "good luck" hat on his head if he wants to recruit talents to join him.

  Good luck is a prerequisite for a successful counterattack by the bottom nobles.

  For those down-and-out aristocratic children who are in a desperate situation and want to turn against the wind, it is also a good choice to choose potential stocks that have not yet appeared to bet.

  …

   Baron Kayo, who was on the road with a group of lizard corpses, turned gloomy as soon as he left the mountain territory. It's as if the previous happy conversations were all intentional.

   "Master, but what's wrong?"

  The accompanying butler asked.

  Although acting is the basic skill of nobles, there are not many times when such hard work is required. In theory, Hudson, who is in the stage of primitive accumulation of capital, should not be worthy of his treatment.

   "It's nothing, it's just that someone put it together, and I feel a little uncomfortable.

  The Baron Hudson is not simple, we have to re-evaluate, his real ability is much more terrifying than the data.

  After returning, send someone to tell the earl: I suspect that the earth bear is about to reach adulthood, or has already grown up.

  Ability and luck coexist, this kind of existence is not easy to deal with. From now on, raise the level of attention to the Mountain Territory to the highest level, and focus on this person's suspicious behavior.

  If possible, place as many spies as possible in the mountains, so that he cannot escape our sight. "

   Baron Cayo said solemnly.

seeing is believing.

   After personal contact, he discovered that the description in the information was not only not exaggerated, but even underestimated in some places.

  The basic skills of dealing with people and dealing with others seem very simple, but not many people can use them freely before being honed by society.

   During this trip to the Mountain Territory, it seemed that he saw everything, but Baron Cayo actually saw nothing of value.

  Everything that comes into contact with is what the other party wants him to see. There are many difficulties in opening up wasteland, the development of swampland is dangerous, and road construction is difficult...all of them are difficulties.

  Ordinary people are likely to be fooled, but after experiencing the baptism of the old foxes in the capital, Baron Cayo is no longer a simple youth.

  Since it is difficult, why should we spend a lot of money to develop it?

  The manpower, material resources, and financial resources consumed by the development of the territory were invested in the battle for the county guards, and the mountain leaders had long suppressed the Sith Baron.

  Before knowing that the position of sheriff is determined by default, normal people will choose the position of sheriff who can see benefits in the short term.

  The development of the territory should be done slowly, anyway, where the land is lying, it will not be able to run with long legs.

  All kinds of abnormalities fell into the eyes of Baron Cayo, and he came to a conclusion: Hudson predicted in advance that the battle for the sheriff would fail.

  Without any specific information, only based on the apparent political situation of the kingdom, one can predict the outcome of the game of all parties and the final decision of the king's capital. How can this be a political novice?

  Including that Hudson did not let the bear hunt down the lizard beast king, it also fell into his eyes: restraining desires and being good at hiding one's own strength.

  He is full of strengths all over his body. If he becomes an enemy, it must be the most terrifying.

  As the overlord of the southeast province, it is natural to be vigilant when such a person appears in his sphere of influence.

   "Master, there is no need to worry too much. In fact, the Earl has already made arrangements. Next, we can send him to Qingyun, and we can also push him down the cliff.

  As a pawn, if you don’t have any strength, how can you destroy the Felix family’s plan for us?

  Wright County is still too small after all, even if this Baron Hudson has seen through everything, he has to fight with that Baron Sith.

   Now they are able to exercise restraint, it is just your presence that makes them feel the pressure.

  The calm is temporary. When the young master's plan in Wyton County is launched, they will definitely take the opportunity to decide a winner. "

  …

  Maple Leaf leader, Baron Kettley felt his scalp tingling when he saw the crowd of creditors approaching menacingly. It seems that this business is really not easy to do.

   After all, he still failed to show the aura of being a master in debt. Kettley could only smile and cry while explaining how difficult it is to sell orc slaves.

  It's a pity that the opposite is a group of slave traders. People who do this kind of unconscionable business can have everything, but they can't have sympathy.

   "Kately, it's almost over. We generally understand who you are. It's useless to perform these things, who do you want to fool!

   If there wasn't enough benefit, would you take the deal?

  Since he accepted the deal, he naturally had to bear the risks involved. No matter whether you use the slaves for your own use or sell them, the agreed amount cannot be less.

  Don't try to play tricks on me here, you don't have to give me money. For the sake of your father, as long as one arm is removed, I will let you go. "

  The middle-aged man’s grinning words made Keitele feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave. A creditor asked him for an arm, and with so many creditors in front of him, wouldn't it be necessary to remove all the parts from his body.

   But these guys are not the masters of joking. If you say you want to remove an arm, you will really remove the arm.

   As for his father's face, it does play a role. But the premise is that it cannot involve interests, otherwise the face of a nodding acquaintance will not be enough at all.

   "Roman Knight, my arm is not worth that much money. You have been busy and ventured deep into the Orc Empire to catch slaves. You have paid such a high price, you can't just give it a sigh of relief, right?

  Although I can’t pay in cash, what I used to cover my debts were ironware. These things are hard goods no matter where they are.

  As long as you transport things back to the Northland, whether you keep them at home for your own use or take them out for sale, you don’t have to worry about throwing them into your hands.

  Even if the quantity is a bit large, it can still be smuggled to the Orc Empire. I've been there too, so I know how profitable it is.

  If you don’t do such a profitable business, if you want to take off one of my arms, this business will be a big loss. "

   Baron Kettler tried to persuade.

   Smuggling iron products to the orc empire is indeed profitable enough, but the hidden risks are directly proportional to the profits that can be reaped.

  The Kingdom may not care about the smuggling of some ordinary commodities, but the supervision of strategic materials such as ironware still exists.

   Once caught, not to mention implicating the whole family to die together, the participants will definitely be cool anyway.

   "So, we still have to thank you for your care?

  Since it's all about taking care of, then you should just take care of it to the end!

  You personally **** these iron artifacts into the Orc Empire, and give us the profits in return.

  Don't worry, we won't treat you badly, and you will get a share of the increased profits. "

   Roman Knight said with a sneer.

   "Roman is right. Kettley, you want to take care of us so much, so please go and take care of us yourself!"

   Don't worry, we will help take care of your territory. During your days out, there is absolutely no chance of chaos.

   When it comes to doing business, you are still a skinny beast. Even if you leave the Northland, you still have your name in the Beastman Empire. "

  The eagle-eyed old man on the side made up the knife.

  Hearing the word "Skinless Beast", Baron Kettley just wanted to cry. Didn't he just save a little bit, so he was given this title by a group of unscrupulous guys.

   It looks like a profiteer.

   You must know that he, Ketley, does business in the Orc Empire, and it has always been a business without capital. Completely followed the rules, never had a…

   "Purple Mountain Knight, this joke is not funny. If I were to take these iron weapons deep into the orc empire, I am afraid that everyone will really have nothing to lose.

  There are so many tribes on the border of the orcs, which one doesn't have my arrest warrant?

  Even if it is really door-to-door business, I am afraid people will not believe it. If you fight on someone else's territory, it will be difficult to get out of your body. "

   It was all caused by youth and ignorance. In order to complete the primitive accumulation in the orc empire as soon as possible, Baron Kettley resorted to cruel means.

   Unlucky, and offended someone who shouldn't be offended. Going south this time is not only to seek a piece of foundation, but also to avoid disaster.

   "Okay, you two don't tease him. Look, scare our skinning beast, as if we are going to skin him.

   Come on, Kettley. As long as you introduce the mountain baron who provided the goods to us, and help us broker a big business, we will accept the goods. "

  A gentle voice sounded, and the cold sweat broke out on Baron Kettley's forehead. Obviously, the man who spoke now is the most terrifying existence among the creditors.

   "Lord Longxi, I can introduce the Mountain Baron to you. But I can't guarantee whether the next business can be negotiated.

  This guy is difficult to deal with, he only has interests in his eyes, and I am not very familiar with him, so I cannot influence his decision..."

   "If you don't know each other well, can you cooperate so many times? If you don't have a good relationship, can he help you pick up that batch of garbage at a par price?

  Kately, you should know that I hate cheating the most. Things have come to this point, you kid don't want to play tricks.

   contributed to this big deal, then hello, hello, hello everyone.

   In case you screw up this deal, I can guarantee you kid will regret coming into this world.

   Don't blame us for being ruthless, it's really you who delivered it to your door. If it weren't for your greedy brat, you wouldn't be in this situation.

  Originally, I was prepared for you to run away and collect debts from your father, but I didn't expect that you still have a bit of luck, and you can still survive checkmates! "

  Longxi's words completely cut off Ketley's thoughts of struggling. After working for a long time, people are already prepared, but he is just a pawn.

   Recalling that before he came up with the idea of ​​monopolizing orc slaves, it seems that he heard people say more than once: How does the monopoly business make money, and how high the price of human slaves is...

  Every time I heard it by accident, I thought it was a coincidence, but now it seems that it was arranged by others, just waiting for him to fall into the trap.

   But he was blinded by the interests at the time, thinking that as long as he monopolized the orc slaves, he would not worry about making a lot of money.

  Combined with the constant persuasion of the cronies around him, he didn't care about it, and directly gambled all his wealth.

  In retrospect, how stupid that was. Actually only saw benefits, even the word "risk" was ignored.

   Things have come to this point, it's too late to regret. The other party has set up such a big game, it is obviously impossible for him to escape.

   "Lord Longxi, Kettley doesn't know what he can do, but he is honored to trouble you so much.

  If you just want to make a deal with the Mountain Baron, you can go directly to him. As far as I know, that guy will dare to do any business as long as he has enough money.

like…"

   Before Kettler finished speaking, Long Xi interrupted: "Alright kid, don't waste time probing.

  The layout is specially for you, your face is too big. It's just an idle move, you kid jumped into it by yourself because of greed.

   In comparison, the mountain baron is much smarter. Seemingly greedy, but always sticking to the bottom line. If you don't deserve your own profits, people can hold back and don't make any money.

   Designed that guy several times, but unfortunately they all avoided him. Now I don't have time to continue, so I can only find you, a guy with a little contact, as a middleman. "
