The King

  Added a shareholder, and the land reclamation operation that had been stagnant started again. The reduced ration supply has also returned to normal levels.

  The autumn plowing has been preserved, as long as the next spring begins, new grain will be put into storage, and the grain shortage in the southeastern provinces can be regarded as over.

  Several families are happy and others are sad.

  The unlucky Baron Cayo, as the saddest frustrated person, is still lying on the hospital bed for self-reflection.

  As soon as he came out of the ivory tower, he suffered the most violent beating from society, which plunged him into deep self-doubt.

   All the nobles in the north are not having a good time. The disaster is over, but there are still few people selling grain on the market.

  While watching a group of local nobles throwing a feast to celebrate the locust plague, they were still anxiously waiting for the king to rescue them.

  Unfortunately, the person responsible for carrying out this order is: Earl Pierce, who regards them as a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh.

  Meetings in the provinces about rescuing noble lords in difficulty were held every now and then, but no results were produced.

  Every time I go to appeal, I am in a meeting to study it. When the results can be obtained, it depends on the integrity of the bureaucrats.

   Watching the time pass day by day, everyone's granaries are getting bottomed out day by day, and finally the noble lords can't sit still.

   I don't know who made the bad start, there are suddenly more people doing business without capital in the southeastern province.

  At the beginning, we only picked the teams that transported food, but in the later stage, we would grab the caravans.

  The chaotic social order further pushed up prices. Not only did it make the business travelers miserable, but also a large number of free citizens in the city went bankrupt.

  It is easy to rob, but it is difficult to take away a large amount of loot. Such a big movement naturally attracted the attention of the nobles.

  Do-it-yourself robbery is too bad a reputation. But these bandits and robbers were wiped out, and the spoils were legal income.

  Among them, the northern nobles were the most active, and they often arrived at the scene immediately after the incident to eliminate these "bandits and robbers".

   It doesn’t matter once or twice, but the situation will change if the number of times increases.

  The attitude of the lords and nobles in various places is getting worse and worse, and they have expressed strong hostility towards their group of "bandit extermination activists".

  …

   "Can't do this anymore!

  No one is a fool, if problems happen one after another, people have already suspected you.

   In case of bad luck one day, if someone catches you, things will end badly! "

   Baron Sith said in a stern tone.

   "Respect Baron Sith, we are not like you. If we had a choice, we would not want to do it.

   But there is really no way. The Governor's Mansion made it clear that it was just watching our jokes, and it didn't mean relief at all.

  Since they won't help, we'll have to figure it out ourselves. Although the method is a bit despicable, there is nothing we can do to prevent the citizens from starving. "

   Baron Kettley said indifferently.

   Everyone has a share in the robbery. Baron Sith can restrain his desire, not because of his strong willpower.

  The main reason is that they got a lot of food because they started early. The number of slaves in the territory was also reduced, barely able to survive the famine.

   But the other noble children of the Northland were different, and the things they grabbed were not enough to fit their teeth. Stop now at this time, what do you want everyone to eat next?

  Fame is really important, but the prerequisite is to have it. It's a pity that the robbery of business travelers by the nobles of the North is now an open secret.

   It didn't cause the Governor's Office to interfere, that's because their eyes were very bright, and they specially selected some people who were not tough in the background to attack.

   Aware of this, for the purpose of combating competitors. Many big businessmen with strong backgrounds deliberately activated their personal connections to cover them up.

  However, as time went by, things got bigger and bigger, and it became more and more difficult to cover things up.

"enough!

   Who doesn't know the close relationship between you, Baron Kettley, and the Mountain Territory.

  Are you still short of food?

  As far as I know, the mountain baron just purchased a batch of food from the outside world not long ago. Judging from the number of carriages alone, it is at least a million pounds.

   This is just a purchase.

  If you want, the master behind you will be able to raise tens of millions of pounds of food!

  Even if you go to the new owner, there is no need to use old people like us as votes, right? "

   Baron Sith taunted.

   It can be seen that he is really angry.

  Otherwise, she would never bring this kind of disappearance to the table.

  Aristocrats have to have some face, even if the situation is like fire and water, they must restrain themselves on the bright side.

  This kind of practice of turning faces without leaving any room and blocking all room for maneuver is completely inconsistent with the aristocratic style.

   "Baron Sith, those who speak must be responsible.

  Since you say that I am a traitor, please show evidence for everyone to see.

   Otherwise, I am afraid that everyone will not feel at ease.

   After all, no one wants to be convicted without evidence. "

   Baron Kettley said with a gloomy face.

   Originally, he didn't want to confront Baron Sith head-on, but now that he was cornered, he could only bite the bullet and fight hard.

  In any case, the name of a traitor must never be recited. Otherwise, there would be no place for him in the aristocratic circle.

   "Baron Sith, this should be a misunderstanding!

  The relationship between Kettler and the Mountain Territory is indeed a little closer, but it is not enough to be a traitor.

   Everyone knows how deep the grievances between us and the nobles of southern Xinjiang are. This kind of hatred cannot be resolved overnight.

   I think you have also been in contact with the local nobles, and you know what results have been achieved.

  If the nobles in southern Xinjiang are willing to accept us, the situation will definitely not develop to the present stage.

  Even if someone is a traitor, it is to defect to the Dalton family.

  We are both barons, even if the mountain leader is stronger, it is not so strong that everyone has to go to the past. "

   Baron Calvo said with a smile.

  As an ally, he must stand up at this time.

  If Lord Kettley is kicked out, the fragile balance will be disturbed. Small groups that were already at a disadvantage had even lower voice in the alliance.

   "Calvo is right. Although the mountain baron is famous, his background is too low.

  Everyone sitting here, whose family is not stronger than the Koslow family?

  Reduced to be a bereaved dog of a little nobleman, Hudson's toss has reached the limit now.

  Although he is hailed by the outside world as the most likely person to become the Sheriff, none of us knows that he has no hope.

  Even though Hudson has all kinds of advantages, it’s still not as good as the king’s capital!

   Baron Kettley is well known to everyone, how could he go to a baron whose potential is exhausted? "

  The naked connotation seems to have not mentioned Baron Sith, but in fact, every word of Baron Reno is directed at him.

   On the surface, he is belittling Hudson, but in fact he is stepping on Baron Sith. As the son of a grand duke, he couldn't hold back the son of a baron.

   itself is a joke.

  Although he belittled everyone, everyone didn't care.

  Deep in their hearts, everyone has a reason to convince themselves - they are afraid of the Felix family, and they don't want to cause trouble for the family, so they are suppressed by Baron Sith.

   Apart from ridiculing, only Baron Reno knew it, and he himself was the one who was not reconciled.

   "There is no one in the king's capital", it seems to be talking about Hudson, but it is actually talking about himself.

  Ever since he learned that the position of sheriff had been decided in advance, Baron Reno became depressed. Now being dragged into the water by allies, there was a total explosion on the spot.

"enough!

   Make as much trouble as you like, so let's make trouble!

  Whoever caused the incident is responsible for it. Don't let something happen at that time, and you want to drag the alliance into the water.

  We can’t afford to bear this kind of reputation-defamation, and we have no obligation to bear it for some ambitious people! "

   After speaking, Baron Sith left in a huff. It seemed that he was really **** off, and he didn't even care about the image of the boss.

  It was just the faint smile on his mouth, revealing his true thoughts. Winning or losing is not announced until the last moment.

  The only thing that is certain is that things are really messed up now. It is only a matter of time before the Governor's Office intervenes. If it is to end smoothly, someone must come forward and take responsibility.

  As the eldest son of a group of northern Xinjiang nobles, Baron Sith must be to blame for following the normal steps.

  Unwilling to take the blame for his subordinates, he naturally has to take action. Even if there is no such fuse, there will be other excuses.

  …

  In the mountainous region, Hudson was not only not happy when he received the news of the division among the nobles in northern Xinjiang, but was deeply disappointed.

  After the seemingly split, the Sith Baron was greatly affected. But no matter how great the influence is, it is better than taking the blame for allies.

  The crime of "robbing a business traveler" is not a big crime, as long as you keep your eyes open and don't offend people who shouldn't be offended, it's the same thing for nobles.

  As long as you don't care about your reputation, even if you are caught, you will lose a sum of money, and the nobles will not die.

  But for Baron Sith, who is vying for the position of sheriff, this stain can pull him down.

  It is impossible for the king to appoint a master who has a history of robbing business travelers as the head of a county. Even the grand duke's son is useless, the Alpha Kingdom can't afford to lose him.

  It's a pity that Baron Sith acted too quickly. When Hudson noticed him, he had already washed his hands and quit, and it was too late to get the stolen goods.

  If it is an ordinary person, you can also find evidence. But when it comes to the grand duke's son, it will probably be nothing if it is revealed.

   If one blow fails to kill, then the only option is the next best thing. If it weren't for Hudson's joint efforts with a group of local nobles, it would be just a few big merchants, but they would not be able to suppress the big news of "robbing business travel".

  Suppressing the news seems to be helping the nobles of the North to cover up the truth, but in fact they are digging holes, waiting for them to make bigger mistakes.

  According to the plan, in an inadvertent moment, they will coincidentally **** something that shouldn't be snatched, and then receive a thunderous blow.

  Unfortunately, the net is still being set up, and the biggest fish swims away first, leaving only a group of small fish and shrimp.

   Hudson has never been interested in catching small fish. After slipping away from Baron Sith, the following plan is purely tasteless to him.

   Having no time to waste time on "chicken ribs", Hudson shifted his focus to territory construction again. The tasks in the second half of the year are very heavy, and the progress delayed by the locust plague still needs to be made up.

  The development of hilly areas is no different from before. For a better life in "painting cakes", the citizens are working hard.

  The most advanced farm tools + sufficient livestock + sufficient material supply ensured the smooth progress of land reclamation operations.

   In the first half of the year, two-thirds of the plan to "open up 100,000 acres of wasteland" was completed. If it weren't for the delay due to the locust plague, it would be easy to overfulfill the task.

  However, Master Hudson pretended not to see the sudden situation of the locust plague. The original plan remains the same, and the rewards are also valid.

  If you want to take it, just continue rolling!

  I have been working on it for more than half a year. If I give up now, all my efforts will be for naught.

  The most important thing is the group of Baojia chiefs, no one wants to be the last. If everyone else is working hard, and the team I lead is the bottom, it will be a disaster.

  The system worked effectively, and Hudson didn't add anything to the snake. Focused on the development of the swamp.

  The originally slow progress of the swamp development, after the addition of Uncle Xiong, the progress has been directly increased by ten times.

  The only problem is that Bear Stearns is a bit emotional. The agreed ten days and a half months passed by for a stroll, and it turned out to be almost a permanent construction site.

  In order to appease the "bear" heart, Hudson, as a spiritual mentor, also followed the daily **** and supervised the work by the way.

   As for whether it is to supervise the work of the slaves or the work of the uncle Xiong, this is not important.

   Now that you have entered the pit, it is too late to regret. The cruel reality told Bear Stearns that he could only swallow the cow he had blown out, even if he knocked out his front teeth.

  Who made the swamp too pit?

   Solidification magic can cover several miles at the same time without any problems, but that is only limited to the surface soil. The mud in the swamp is more than ten meters thick, and the range of magic will naturally shrink.

  In order to increase the speed, Bear Stearns usually needs to cast magic to create a crack in the swamp mud to facilitate the digging by orc slaves.

   What was even worse were the more than 20,000 orcs, divided into more than 200 construction teams, all of which had to be assisted by Bear Stearns.

   All kinds of little lives hidden in the swamp also need Bear Stearns to take care of them. Occasionally, when encountering special terrain and needing magic assistance, Bells can only board it.

   Not to mention being busy all day long, anyway, the cub has never been idle most of the time.

  Fortunately, the mana replenishment speed of the Earth Bear is fast enough, and Hudson is on the side to help open the hang, otherwise it really wouldn't be able to withstand such a toss.

  The main reason is that the cubs are not strong enough. If they can release the forbidden spell, they can directly smash giant pits in the swamp, connect them together, and create a lake, and the progress of land reclamation can be increased by more than ten times.

   Of course, this is just Hudson's fantasy. Not to mention the continuous release of forbidden spells, even the least powerful one can knock down an adult Earth Bear, and it is impossible to recover within a few months of training.

   After wanting to divest several times in a row, Hudson rejected the contract text in black and white. Unwilling to invest in Bear Stearns, which was in vain, he could only work cursing.

   It can only be said that interests are touching, even a bear is no exception. Looking at the pieces of land that had been divided, and thinking of his "Bear Fort Project", Bear Stearns persisted.

   The peaceful days passed without any waves every day. Hudson, who was working hard, was finally promoted to a senior knight.

  From junior knight to senior knight, Baron Redman, who lacked resource support, took a full fifteen years, while Hudson took less than two years.

  Mysterious compass is the main contributor, but the assistance of cultivation resources also plays a vital role.

   Without these resources, if Hudson wants to make a breakthrough, he will have to spend at least the first half of the year.

  Compared to knight training, the improvement of magic is faster. After all, he only needs to improve his mental strength, cast magic and hang up.

   It's a pity that this increase is not unlimited. With the continuous improvement of mental power, the auxiliary effect of medicine will become smaller and smaller.

  The great magician can barely be regarded as a strong man. If Hudson is willing to register with the Kingdom Magician Corps, he can also receive a salary.

  The strong always have privileges. The noble mages can't bear the pain of intensive training, and the training of the mage regiment is also different from that of ordinary troops.

  In peaceful times, you only need to be on duty for half a year in five years, and the rest of the time is completely free.

  If the strength is further improved, the rotation period can be shortened. The top powerhouses only need to play during the war, and if they come to work during normal times, they will have to pay extra.

   "My lord, the orc slave found a coal mine while digging the mud. Lord Bear Stearns, please go over to discuss the distribution rights of the coal mine?"

   Tom whispered.

  Discussing the ownership of the coal mine with the lord is undoubtedly a very treacherous thing in his opinion. But if the object of the request is the Earth Bear, then everything is another matter.

  The title of "Greedy Bear" resounds throughout the Alpha Kingdom. So many people suspect that Bear Stearns has the blood of a dragon.

   Of course, Hudson also helped the Cubs take the blame. Also, many people suspected that he, the master, ordered it, and the Earth Bear was only the executor.

  The forest is so big that there are all kinds of birds. There are many monsters, and there are also all kinds of strange beasts.

   They are both high-level intelligent races. In the continent of Aslante, the mounts of Warcraft are not slaves, and they also have their own style of behavior.

  Greedy, gambling, lustful, mischievous, liking... In short, all kinds of monsters with strange hobbies are not uncommon on the mainland.

   It can cause controversy, mainly because the image of Bear Stearns is greedy for money, which is completely inconsistent with the positioning of the Earth Bears in people's minds.

  As the ceiling of lazy people, there has never been a hardworking bear in the Earth Bear family. Wanting them to work and earn money is simply a dream.

  The emergence of Bear Stearns completely broke this law. Not only can you work part-time to earn money, but you can also negotiate prices by yourself.

  Now it is further developed, not only talking with outsiders, but even with your own people-"clearly settle accounts".

   "Understood, I'll go there right away."

   Hudson said helplessly.

  The "bear children" raised by themselves can only suffer by themselves.

  Facts have proved once again that it is necessary to fight "bear children" as early as possible. If it's too late, you can't win!

  Hudson is undoubtedly a tragedy. He has always belonged to the side that has been suppressed by force, so that when facing Bear Stearns, he can only reason.

   Even coaxing and flicking, finally cultivated a hardworking bear. How about this bear...

   Don't mention it!

  Bears travel thousands of miles to eat meat. If you want bears to work, you can't expect bears to eat grass.

  Finding a coal mine is a good thing after all, but I don’t know what coal it is. It was found that in the swamp, there is a high probability that steelmaking will not be able to be counted on.

   These are minor problems, for Master Hudson who started out selling inferior weapons. The quality of the coal is not really important, as long as it is coal is enough.

  …
