I have food at hand, I have a mine at home, and I don't panic.

At the current pace of clean-up, production could resume as soon as next month. It is a pity that there are fewer young and strong laborers in the territory, and it is difficult to increase production capacity.

Thick blue smoke rose and fell into Hudson's eyes, which was particularly pleasing to the eye. This is a necessary prerequisite for the resumption of mine production, making charcoal.

I saw that the miners skillfully put the cut wood into the charcoal kiln in a regular manner, covered the soil to leave a fire opening, and then poured the burning charcoal into it.

There are also two workers next to him, holding huge dumpling leaves and fanning the wind.

It can be seen that in the era of existing productivity, the charcoal making process has matured.

The air supply method is primitive, because it originally used magic technology, a device similar to a blower.

Because of the war, it was destroyed, and there was no replacement for a while, which directly led to the return of the air supply mode to the primitive era.

There is no need to count on magic technology, and it will not be available for a while. Hudson had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and replace it with bellows.

The manual bellows process, he has been explained, and arranged people to make it, but the process is not yet mature, and the practicability of the product needs to be improved.

If nothing else, it will be difficult to use magic technology in the mine for a long time to come.

It all comes down to cost, and labor is too cheap compared to expensive magic devices.

Installing an alchemy version of a blower is enough to buy ten young slaves. The worst thing is that this thing still needs to be driven by magic crystals, but what Hudson lacks the most is magic crystals.

As far as the baron's quota is concerned, it is not enough to supply his own cultivation, so how can he waste it here?

Anyway, the labor cost is cheap enough, and the use of manpower bellows instead can be cheaper economically.

Before he could plan further, Hudson received news from his family that the officials who had drawn the boundary line had departed and would soon arrive in Leyteshire.

I don't know where to start, and I don't know when I'll arrive at my own territory, so the only thing I can do is for the teacher to stay at home and not run around.

In case someone comes and the host is not at home, then the fun will be great. With the style of the bureaucrats in the Governor's Palace, they will not wait for the master to return. If the owner is not at home, they can do the work on the map.

As for the parties, whether they are satisfied with the outcome has never been in their consideration.

If the relationship is strong, you can also find a relationship and redivide it. If you have no connections, no background, and no strength, you can only admit it yourself.

Although Hudson is not a three-nipple, he is not terrific. There are indeed some connections and backgrounds, but they are not enough for the people of the Governor's Mansion to run alone.

As for strength, it is purely a commercial blow to each other. Hudson was able to make the name of "Sharpbow Knight" mainly due to the hard work of his teammates.

In order to make his own exploits, his achievements are exaggerated as much as possible. Especially in the battle of the total annihilation of the Holy See cavalry, it was obvious that 500 people were killed, but they were blown into 3,000 by everyone.

may think it is too exaggerated, but no one believes it, and finally made a unified supplementary explanation: 1,000 elite cavalry of the Holy See and 2,000 main rebel forces were annihilated.

The so-called "use of soldiers like gods" is purely based on the fact that the rebels' command ability is too wasteful, and these cannot be concealed from those who have a heart.

If it is really so awesome as rumored, then he Hudson will stomp his foot, and the southeastern province will have to tremble.

There is no doubt that the southeastern provinces, where the Dalton family is in charge, do not allow such awesome creatures to exist. Once it appears, it will either be co-opted or strangled.

Hudson's ability to live so freely is enough to prove how much water is rumored. It's okay to deter the small and medium-sized nobles, and they can't frighten the people of the Governor's Mansion at all.

……

"Uncle Sicolari, Uncle Baggins, Uncle Hiruddy, ......"

A series of uncles called down, and Hudson's scalp was a little numb. The people who came to preside over the division of the fiefdom were all friends of the Coslow family, and he didn't think it was a coincidence.

Either the Governor's Mansion is engaged in fishing law enforcement; Either that, the Governor's Office deliberately created opportunities for them to favor their fiefdoms.

After a little thought, Hudson quickly made his judgment.

Fishing law enforcement is not such a fun. As a privileged nobleman, just favoritism in the division of fiefs is not a big crime at all.

The most serious consequence is nothing more than the resignation of officials and the redrawing of the border line.

If you are cautious and leave no obvious loopholes in the procedure, you will not even be punished.

Unless the brain is in water, no one will put so much effort into the layout, just to get a punishment result that doesn't hurt or itch.

If it is the latter, it is estimated that the future of Wright and Wyton counties will not be peaceful. Neighbors are prone to conflicts, and it is strange that there is a governor who is dedicated to digging pits and burying mines.

The welcome banquet was shabby, and despite Hudson's best efforts, the food in the realm was so simple that even the banquet was held in the open air.

There was no way, the mining area was too remote to be taken seriously by the previous lord, and there were no decent buildings nearby.

The few stone houses that are still stacked with food and pig iron are not worthy of the status of nobility at all.

Fortunately, those who came were considered "their own people", otherwise they would have to be put in small shoes just by this treatment.

was originally an old acquaintance who had dealt with him, and after a few glasses of wine, everyone became more and more open.

"Hudson, your territory is too remote, why don't you choose a rich town?"

Baron Sicolari asked, confused.

This is also a question for many people in aristocratic circles. There are only two images of the Salaam Mountains – the land is barren and mineralized.

Having mines is indeed an advantage, but this does not compensate for the disadvantage of poor land. Also engaged in agricultural production, the yield per acre in the Salaam Mountains is only 70% of that of the plains.

The labor input is comparable, and possibly even more, and the output gap is so huge that the cost performance of growing grain is obviously not high.

The income from mining alone is advantageous in the short term, but it is a disadvantage in the long run.

Once the mine was mined, the surrounding land was almost contaminated. I am afraid that at that time, it will be difficult to maintain even this seventy percent of the grain output.

For the nobles, who were accustomed to permanently rooting in one place, it was necessary to consider the long-term development of the territory. In order to maintain sustainable agricultural production, some aristocrats would not mine mines even if they knew that there were mines underground.

"Uncle Sikorari, the Salaam Mountains are indeed a little remote, and the grain production is low, but it is better than the large area!

In addition to the mining areas marked on the map, only the three knights on the periphery are on the map, and the remaining hundreds of hills are borderlands, and the area is almost half of Wrightshire.

Although the development cost is relatively high and the cost performance is not very good, it still has development value after all. If it is fully developed, it will definitely not lose money by supplementing quality with quantity.

Of course, this requires too much manpower, material resources, and financial resources. Without decades of long-term investment, it's hard to see results.

What really made me choose Salaam was what happened next in the counties of Wright and Wyton.

In order to go south, the nobles of Northern Xinjiang did not hesitate to offend the Dalton family, and it was obvious that not a few baronies could satisfy their appetite.

Coslow was only a small family, and in the event of a conflict with these northern military nobles, it would be difficult to take advantage of the armed forces.

Even if the rich central town is good, it must be defended. If the family behind them continues to increase their weight, I can't consume them. ”

Half-truths and half-truths are the most convincing. After all, they are following the governor, and in terms of information mastery, these people in front of them are still better.

Earl Pierce's jealousy of the nobles of Northern Xinjiang was nakedly expressed, and they naturally did not dare to take it lightly.

The more you know, the more you know about awe. Hudson's remarks were not surprising.

After all, the Coslow family also originated in the Northlands. It is normal to have an understanding of the strength of the nobles of Northern Xinjiang.

"It's true that those guys in the north are annoying, but their strength is still amazing.

If they are allowed to gain a firm foothold, not only will the land of Wright and Wyton counties not be stable, but the entire southeastern province will probably be difficult to be peaceful.

But Hudson, you're too cautious. Even if those guys in the north come here to do something, they won't attack your Coslow family first.

As the most prosperous family in the kingdom, your strength is not weak with so many branches, and you also have the support of the local nobles in the southeastern provinces.

If a conflict breaks out between the two sides, it is not certain who will suffer and who will take advantage in the end! ”

Baron Sicolari said with a smile.

Just tell Hudson directly, don't worry, do it boldly, the Governor's Mansion will support you.

Of course, it's useless to say it. The Coslow family is not stupid, war will kill people, and fighting with the nobles of the north who go south will only waste the family's manpower, financial and material resources, and cheapen the fishermen on the side.

If the war is won, at most a ransom will be collected, and even the war funds will not be enough. With people's background background, the aftermath is not a problem at all.

If you lose the battle, it will be even worse, not to mention the heavy casualties, and even the foundation will be lost if you don't do it.

A trade that is destined to lose money will not be touched by normal people.
