The good start did not affect the fierce competition behind in the slightest. Since the second territorial battle, the scene has never been harmonious.

It's not that you don't want to coordinate, but you can't coordinate. Once the fiefdom is determined, there is almost no possibility of replacing it, and if you take a step back now, you may regret it for the rest of your life in the future.

The same barony, the best fief and the worst fief, the annual income gap may be as high as tens of thousands of gold coins.

Of course, that's a theoretical number, and the current two-county land will definitely not be reached. Without ten or eight years of hard work, I don't want to return to the peak level.

For example, the Salaam mining area selected by Hudson almost monopolizes the supply of pig iron in the whole county, and the products also have a high market share in the surrounding counties, which is a proper high-yield area.

However, the labor cost of mining is large, and the charcoal used for smelting needs to be purchased partly, and the local grain output can only meet part of the demand, which dilutes the mineral income.

The most important thing is that the mine will eventually be mined one day, and food production can be indefinitely circulated, which invisibly reduces the value of the territory.

However, this is the perception of the outside world, and for Hudson, the industry that can be monetized in a short period of time is the best quality industry.

It takes too long to complete the primitive accumulation of wealth by farming. For most nobles, the first twenty years of fiefdom were poor.

Of course, the counties of Wright and Wyton are well-developed and fared far off. As long as the labor force is replenished, it will soon be able to recover.

Especially for the landlords, after decades of peace, most of the nobles' territories have a certain amount of labor wealth, which undoubtedly reduces the difficulty of developing new territories.

It was a tragedy for outsiders, who could only purchase slaves on a large scale to serve as labor. As for the migration of people from the north, the first thing that did not agree was the kingdom.

For the sake of national defense and security, the kingdom exiles a large number of criminals every year to the border. It has always been only allowed to flow in, not out.

Each province has the task of forcibly transporting the population every year, and if it is not enough, a number of nobles have to pay for slaves to fill the number.

Including the prisoners captured during the suppression of the Skull and Bones rebellion not long ago, they were all escorted to the northern border of Xinjiang in batches. The orcs in the back are responsible for pulling hatred, which can be regarded as solving the contradiction once and for all.

The Alpha Kingdom is relatively peaceful, and that is because it shoulders the heavy responsibility of resisting the invasion of the Orc Empire, and it does not dare to play too much in internal and external fighting.

The Terran countries without the threat of foreign races are different, and that is how happy they come. A small battle every three months and a big battle every five months, war is the mainstream of the mainland.

In every war, a large number of captives were produced, and after a certain period of time, they were sold into slavery if no one gave them.

Seeing everyone arguing, Hudson has been reduced to a spectator. In the middle and late stages of development, not only did the parties come out to fight each other, but even the supporting relatives and friends groups also joined the battlefield.

The scene was extremely chaotic, and if it weren't for Earl Pierce pressing on it, it was estimated that these guys would be able to perform a full-fledged martial arts on the spot.

The ruling of the Council of Nobles, that was also full of gunpowder. It's good that there is a huge gap in strength between the two sides, and what I am most afraid of is that their own strength and network are evenly matched.

If you can't get a result, then vote. According to the Kingdom's Noble Act, all nobles who owned fiefs were members of the noble council.

According to the rules: the knight counts one vote, the baron counts three, the viscount counts ten votes, and the count counts thirty votes...... If you have multiple fiefdoms, you will vote directly on the spot.

At this time, the benefits of a large number of people are reflected. Including several nobles who did not participate in this war for special reasons, the Coslow family has a total of two barons + nine knights who have the right to vote, and the number of votes is as high as fifteen votes for the members of their own family combined.

It's a pity that Hudson, Adrian and the other two descendants who inherited the title do not have the right to vote for the time being because they have not yet completed the legal process, otherwise they can add eight more votes.

With eight votes missing, the most direct consequence was the conspiracy of the Leicester Knight and Baron Crohn, who were narrowly defeated by two and three votes, respectively.

Looking at the annoyed two, Hudson and his son didn't know how to comfort them, so they could only pretend not to see them.

Defeat is an inevitable result, and even if there are eight more votes, it will not change anything. The difference in votes is small, and it is the Earl of Pierce who is leading the situation.

As the vote king of the southeastern provinces, the Earl of Pierce, who wears many hats, has fifty-four votes alone, and with the nobles affected by him, the number of votes that can be controlled is even more.

Out of the need for political balance, the pie in the sky is destined to fall on the Coslow family this time.

If you can't participate yourself, you can only watch others perform. Hudson had seen Baron Redman himself, and he had put different names on the three ballot papers.

Looking at his father's calm expression, it seems that he supports multiple post-election people at the same time, this kind of commotion is nothing new in aristocratic circles.

It's all their own friends, or they have received multiple gifts, and for peace of mind, this usually happens.

Only world friends and relatives will vote for all their votes at one time.

What seems to be a comical scene is not a kind of political wisdom. Hudson, who originally thought he was already a qualified nobleman, suddenly found that he still had a lot to learn.

The noisy feast, which lasted until the next morning, finally completed the feast.

The end result is that a few families are happy and a few are sad. As one of the winners, Hudson was in a good mood.

On the carriage, looking at his high-spirited son, Baron Redman instructed earnestly: "Hudson, determining the fiefdom area is only the first step, and the next concrete implementation is the key.

I have just received news from Adrian that His Excellency the Doge is in a hurry to implement the fiefdom, mainly because of the outsiders.

It is said that this time there was a stalemate between the governor's palace and the royal capital, and although the king agreed to the proposal of the Earl of Pierce to be limited to the baron, he gave the city of Dadir and the city of Fertility to others.

The three sons of the Dalton family who served in the Northlands only received one barony and two knighthoods, much to the displeasure of Earl Pierce.

Taken away by someone, the Dalton family will definitely not give up. The next step is bound to launch a counterattack, and it is unknown what exactly it will do, but it is likely to be related to the fiefdom.

The Coslow family is not ranked in the kingdom and cannot participate in the struggle of the great powers. If conflict breaks out next, you must be careful not to get caught up in the maelstrom of storms. ”

Nodding cautiously, Hudson immediately assured, "Don't worry, father." It's too late to hide from this kind of thing, so how can I take the initiative to participate.

The nobles who can jump out of the quagmire in the Northland and snatch food from the Dalton family will definitely not have a simple background.

At the risk of offending the first nobleman of the southeastern province, a mere barony will definitely not be able to satisfy their appetite, and I am afraid that there will be a dragon and tiger battle next.

However, they are outsiders after all, and the family's power in the land of the two counties is not small. As long as our few territories watch each other, it is enough to protect ourselves. ”

It is easy to say, but in fact Hudson's heart is not at peace. Although he knew that there were nobles from the Northlands going south, he didn't expect that these strong dragons would be able to snatch food directly from the Dalton family.

The county town was taken away by these guys, so the next battle for the county head will probably not have any suspense.

It is clear that he sees that the reshuffle of the two counties has just begun, and he is ready to use this as the foundation of the county town and slowly plan.

Next, it depends on how strong the support of the forces behind them is, and whether they can withstand the counterattack of the Dalton family.

Regardless of who wins or loses in the end, the small nobles of the two counties will not have a good time for a long time to come.

Although the Coslow family has four fiefdom nobles to unite, two of them have been severely damaged in the previous Skull and Bones rebellion, and the other two are new to this place.

Hudson was most worried about Adrian Knight, who had been following Earl Pierce, and the imprint of the Dalton family on his body was too strong.

If there is a conflict between the two sides, everyone else can find a way to dodge it, but Adrian cannot back down.

Once the situation expands, you will have to get involved passively if you don't do it. But Hudson didn't have a choice, and if he wanted to gain more in the division of fiefdoms, he couldn't do without the support of the Governor's Palace.

The troubles are future, but the benefits are within reach. I really experienced it, and people can't help themselves in the aristocratic circle.
