The procession staggered forward, and Hudson sat in the carriage and petted the bear, admiring the "creaking, creaking......" sound of the carriage as it moved.

The road was still bumpy as always, and in order to ensure the smooth passage of the convoy, he had to stop from time to time to level the road, but these small episodes did not affect Hudson's good mood in the slightest.

After a few months of trepidation, Hudson finally had a territory of his own, and Hudson now felt pleasing to the eye.

"Get out of here!"

"You fools, with a few broken logs, dare to learn how to rob. If you collide with the great Lord Hudson, you will ......"

Hearing the sound from ahead, Hudson got out of the carriage with a lot of anger, and someone dared to rob him on the head, which was simply a knife that deceived him.

It was only when Hudson got out of the carriage that Hudson realized something was wrong. The so-called robbery is purely a farce, and it is more appropriate to be a refugee than a robber.

The soldiers mainly reprimanded, and did not directly kill, mainly because there were many old and weak women and children in the crowd blocking the road, and there were few young and strong people, which really did not look like material for bandits.

"Tom, what's going on?"

"Who are they?"

"Why intercept the convoy?"

Hudson asked three questions in a row, and Tom was about to answer, but the crowd on the other side preemptively spoke: "Dear Lord Hudson, we are all the subjects of Viscount Alphonse.

Unfortunately, I was robbed of all my food by a military accident, and now I can't find the lord, so I ......"

"Enough, I know everything you want to ask! Viscount Alphonse was martyred, and his entire family was killed at the hands of the rebels.

The new lord is from the Northlands, and it will be in a month as fast as it gets, and no more than three months at the latest, so you will be arranged at that time. ”

Hudson pretended not to care.

The former sentence is true that Viscount Alphonse's whole family was in trouble, and the latter sentence is pure nonsense. When the Northland nobles will be able to arrive, we will only know when they arrive.

Nobility is not only an honor, but also a duty. Unlike these idle people who can take office at any time, the nobles who hold military positions in the border fortress, even if they obtain a fief, must first complete the handover with the replacement personnel before leaving.

It would be even worse if there was a war or conflict. Whether he will leave alive or not is unknown. Even if they are children of big families, they can't slip away in the middle of the war.

Shocked by the bad news, the crowd quickly fell into a panic, and their faces looked like ashes, as if the sky had fallen, and two of the old men even fainted directly.

They have always depended on Viscount Alphonse for survival, and they have never thought about how they should live without the lord.

Serfs basically had no private property, and all the tools of production belonged to the nobles. The corresponding clothing, food, housing, transportation, birth, old age, sickness and death are naturally borne by the noble lord.

The food and goods of the noble lord have been robbed, and everyone has been able to support them until now, but they are barely living on wild vegetables, grass roots, and tree bark.

Don't say it's three months, even if it's a month, they can't make it. When the new lord arrives, it will be difficult to clean them up.

Seeing that everyone was crying and crying, Tom, who had just lost points in front of Hudson, hurriedly stepped forward and reprimanded: "The merciful Lord Hudson has told you, don't hurry up and get out of the way!" ”

Perhaps it was the broadsword that was shocked by the flash, or perhaps it was out of the natural fear of the nobles, the panicked crowd silently moved out of the way with the two old men who had fainted.

Sure that it is not the remnants of the rebels, the benevolent Lord Hudson, sympathy, also came up, and said magnanimously: "For the sake of your loyalty to Viscount Alphonse, this lord will not care about you."

Tom, leave each of them a pound of bread. Whether you survive or not depends on your creation.

Who's going to make me kind? If you want to leave, just follow behind the convoy! As long as I live to my land, I will take you into my realm. ”

After saying that, Hudson got into the carriage without looking back. The aristocracy must have the appearance of aristocrats, and playing courtesy and corporal to serfs will only frighten people.

Although they want to rein in this group of inferior laborers, the noble posture still has to be grasped.

Leave the choice to this group of refugees, and even if it spreads, people will only say that he is merciful, instead of spraying him for robbing others of the people.

These people are all refugees, and they have fled the famine, and even if the new lord arrives, it is not easy to dwell on this issue.

Sitting in the carriage again, Hudson's mind came alive again. The war led to a significant reduction in the population of the two counties, but in the end, it was the lucky one who got his life back.

The fact that the lords of the local nobility cannot be touched, does not mean that the lords of the outsiders cannot be touched. As long as he fools people, they are his people.

Although there are very few young and strong men in it, most of them are women and children, but they are also laborers after all.

Mining is indeed a little reluctant, but it is still not a big problem to cook and grow hybrids with a fire.

In particular, the women of appropriate age can also marry the bachelors in their own army to calm the morale of the army.

The decision was made, and Hudson immediately summoned his knightly attendants and assigned the task of fooling the people.

This kind of technical work can only be done by this group of teenagers who have studied with him for a few months. The rest of the big-headed soldiers are basically stuffy gourds. It's okay to let them go into battle to kill the enemy, and it's really embarrassing to stir people's hearts.

It's all the cause and effect planted by Hudson himself. Before leaving, in order to facilitate command, a group of honest soldiers were specially selected from the territory.

On the battlefield, this group of people did a good job. Hudson is what he says, he doesn't have many ideas of his own, and it's easy to manage.

The general environment was like this, and the serf soldiers who joined the gang later were also affected. Especially after Hudson came up with the sit-down system and cut a few unconscious guys, those who had ideas had no ideas.

I've been so busy fighting wars that I don't think about it so much. So much so that it is only now that Hudson realizes that he lacks talent in his hands.

Cut the ground from under somebody's feet?

As soon as this thought arose, he decisively extinguished it. Those who can dig are incapable, and those who are capable cannot afford to dig people.

Not only is Hudson lacking talent, but almost all the minor nobles are facing the problem of lack of talent.

The high monopoly of knowledge has led to the concentration of talents in the upper class. Everyone is a nobleman, how can they be impressed by three melons and two dates.

Asking for help from your clansmen?

Just think about it, as an adult, you should know that there is no such thing as a free lunch in the world. Brothers have to settle accounts, let alone just clansmen.

The two hapless children in Whiteshire are examples, and the amount of help they get now will be how much of a debt of affection they will have to repay in the future.

Even if their generation can't make it up, when the next generation grows up, they will have to pay it back. In case of an accident, it is up to their heirs to pay it back.

Not to mention anything else, the kingdom encourages the responsibility of defending the land, taking care of the nobles who died in battle, and deliberately increasing the quota for the exchange of life essence, which is estimated to have been paid as wages now.

There are dealings, and the reciprocity of pay and return is also one of the important reasons why the loose Coslow family can maintain centripetal force for a long time.

If you don't want to be in debt, then don't ask for someone easily, otherwise you will have no friends.

The great nobles could also paint cakes for their subordinates, but Hudson was not even qualified to draw cakes. If you can't give people what they want most, you can only rely on krypton.

As long as the money is in place, there will still be talent. There are also some talented people living in the big cities who are willing to accept employment for money.

It's a pity that the talents recruited by Krypton usually only follow the short-term work, but they will leave whenever there is a better opportunity.

Among them, for the sake of profit, there are not a few who betray the original owner, and the loyalty is really worrying.

As an early-stage entrepreneur, Hudson felt that loyalty was more important than ability.

In the peaceful world of the previous life, he was betrayed by his subordinates, and at most he lost some money; To be betrayed by his men in the continent of Aslant is to lose his life.

Hudson is not prepared to take risks until he has the ability to withstand risks. If there is no talent available, then cultivate it yourself.

Anyway, his territory is a barony, or the most primitive feudal rule, there are not so many messy, and he can be busy with a little diligence.

……

Under Hudson's deliberate manipulation, the change of power that took place at the top soon spread among refugee circles. It's just that in the details, there has been such a change.

Originally, the nobles of the Northland came to take up their posts, and the new leader took them to the north to be neighbors with the cruel orcs.

Thanks to the long-term propaganda of the Alpha Kingdom, orcs are more terrible creatures than demons in the minds of ordinary people, and for a while, people are panicking.

Whenever this happens, a clever "refugee" proposes to leave the territory and join a benevolent lord.

Anyway, the old lord's whole family is hanging, and the new lord has not yet accepted their allegiance, and leaving is not a betrayal.

The convoy quickly attracted refugees along the way. There is no other reason than the benevolent Lord Hudson to release the grain.

Every day, when the meal arrives, the food is distributed on time. Although they could barely eat seven or eight minutes full, it was enough to make them determined to keep up.
