In addition to the small episode of unsalable slaves, the first trade exchange meeting in Dadier City was a complete success.

The local nobles who originally thought they were going to do something only used non-trading as a means of resistance, and did not take any drastic actions.

A punch was struck on the cotton, which made the Sith Baron, who had worked so hard to prepare, very depressed.

Other guests don't make trouble, and he, as the host, can't take the initiative to stir up trouble!

Baron Sith, who couldn't understand his opponent's operation at all, could only choose to take one step at a time, and his intuition told him that things were not over.

"What did you say?"

"All those slaves went to the mountain territory?"

Sith asked incredulously.

"Yes, young master!

The spies we sent to keep an eye on the Mountain Territory found a large number of orc slaves over there.

In the entire southeastern province, there are so many orc slaves, and only Baron Kate is Lai. ”

The old butler replied affirmatively.

"Tricked!"

This was Baron Sith's first reaction.

Then I felt that something was wrong, and Kate came to the door of the baron that day, looking like a broken jar, obviously ready to die and break the net.

Everyone is an aristocrat, not an actor. If there is a way back, that kind of despair is difficult to deduce.

If it wasn't for the two of them colluding beforehand, they hooked up afterwards.

The reason does not need to be analyzed to know - interests.

In any case, Hudson was the most likely person in the Southeastern Province to buy the slaves.

Regardless of the price at which the deal is traded, it is a stop loss for Baron Katelai.

created an established fact, and it was useless for the Sith to oppose it.

"Come on, Kate, you bastard!

Dare to fool me.

Lao Tzu remembers you, let's see! ”

……

The mountain leader, Lord Hudson, who constantly commanded his subordinates to settle the slaves, was busy again.

With so many orc slaves added at once, the original territorial development plan is bound to be overhauled.

In order to manage the slaves, Hudson had to announce the formation of an infantry regiment to monitor the work of the men.

The output has not been seen, but the military expenditure has risen first. Fortunately, the weapons and equipment are all self-produced, which saves a lot of money.

Suddenly became the nobleman with the largest army in the two counties, Hudson was still understaffed.

If it weren't for the fear that the troop expansion would be too rapid and affect the combat effectiveness, he wouldn't mind forming two infantry regiments at once.

It is really a practical need to use reckless force.

Since a large number of slaves are to be used, it is necessary to be prepared to suppress the rebellion at any time, and it is impossible to do it without soldiers.

With the continuous expansion of business, the number of special customers who require home delivery has gradually increased.

As long as the financiers are willing to add money, the demands for door-to-door delivery must be satisfied, and it is only a matter of time before they provide armed escort services.

Reason told Hudson that the expansion of the army could not be rushed, and could only be completed gradually.

The top priority is to first adjust the territorial development plan, or to raise the original target requirements.

First of all, the expansion of mine capacity is a must.

Regardless of whether the market in the north could be opened up or not, the goods used to cover the value of slaves had to be produced by others.

There is no accident, they are mainly pots and pans of daily necessities, and agricultural tools only account for a small part.

The main concern is that the unscrupulous slave traders have really sold these goods to the Orc Empire.

It's just a matter of daily necessities, at most it is convenient for the orcs to live, and it can't increase the overall national strength.

But farming tools are different, if a large number of farming tools pour into the orc empire, it can increase farming efficiency and yield.

As a patriotic aristocrat, Hudson would not do this kind of unscrupulous business.

As for whether it will happen to melt the pot into a sword, Hudson generously said: Even if the smelting is good, he loses if he can produce a qualified weapon.

At the very least, ordinary smelting methods will not work.

If you find a few alchemists, or master blacksmiths of the dwarven clan, there is no guarantee.

However, this kind of high-end talent, although it is a minority anywhere. Even if we can make high-quality weapons, we can't do mass production.

In addition to this, Hudson expanded several more business lines.

Baron Toss's Hung Fu invited many merchants from the southeastern provinces to Dadir, which created an opportunity for Hudson.

Although on the surface he was in the city of Dadir, there was no action; But the small movements in the secret have not stopped.

After a brief encounter, Hudson found several partners who had the financial strength to sell the mountain collar merchandise.

If Baron Sith had known the news, he would have understood why Hudson hadn't done anything at the fair.

Merchants were often at a disadvantage compared to the aristocracy. Therefore, when looking for partners, they always look for aristocrats who abide by the rules as much as possible.

In order to reassure everyone, Baron Sith knew that he was cheated, but he still chose to abide by the rules of the game, and the same applies to Hudson.

Compared to developing agents and forming their own business network, it is obviously not so important to do things in Dadir City.

With the increase in shipping channels, the next orders will definitely increase a lot. In terms of production capacity, it is necessary to prepare in advance.

Road planning also has to be arranged.

With so much coolie, there is no need to use it in vain.

These guys with tendons in their heads are just right for opening mountains and cracking rocks. If you are tired and half dead every day, you will not have the strength to do things.

Developing transportation early would also help strengthen Lord Hudson's control over the territory.

I don't know if the orc slaves can do it.

If not, let them go to the swamp.

High-tech gameplay Hudson doesn't and doesn't need to be that much.

Directly play the rough open channel drainage, and first remove the water that can be drained.

If the water cannot be drained, a "bamboo fence" will be built to separate the river from the cultivated land in the swamp.

Thanks to the abundant rain in the southeastern provinces, the salt brought by the sea is washed away. Judging from the plants that grow in the swamp, the salt content in the swamp is not too high.

There is no need to worry about wasting the dug silt, and it is a good fertilizer, which is just right for the newly opened raw land.

As for how much labor is required to do this, and how much loss it needs to bear, Hudson can't care about it.

With more than 20,000 more mouths, the daily expenses of the territory have nearly doubled. If he didn't get the results quickly, his wallet wouldn't be able to support it.

In fact, this is the result of advance preparation. If Hudson hadn't stockpiled a large amount of grain in advance, he would have cried in the face of the high price of grain on the market.

It was all the fault of the orc slaves, and although the Governor's Office promised to provide affordable food, it was limited to the previously registered lords. The influx of orc slaves in the later period could only buy food from the market.

Fortunately, the southeastern province is a large grain producer, and if it is left in some poor places, tens of thousands of mouths will pour in when there is no harvest, and I am afraid that even if there is money, I will not be able to buy enough grain.

Needless to say, a group of northern Xinjiang nobles were cheated again. Baron Katelai was not able to borrow enough money, which was not unrelated to the rise in food prices.

Fortunately, these days did not last long, and winter was already coming to an end, and the day of the new grain harvest was not far off.

When new grain is put into storage, grain prices in the market will inevitably fall. As for how much it can fall, Hudson is not clear.

Anyway, this has little to do with him, although the grain in the territory is not enough, the grain produced in the territory of several relatives of his family has been booked by him early.

The price is naturally with the market price, but you can take credit if you can't stand it! The foreign debt is getting more and more accumulated, and Hudson is now numb.

If it is regarded as the operating debt of undelivered goods, the total foreign debt of Mr. Hudson at this moment has exceeded the 120,000 mark.

Such debts, even if they were left in some middle-class aristocratic houses, would have to numb their scalps and stay awake all night.

I guess I sold Bear Stearns, and I probably could fill the hole!

Of course, it is impossible to sell bears. Contract Warcraft, I haven't heard of it that can be transferred.

Lord Hudson is also not a man who needs to sell bears to pay off debts. Although the foreign debt is huge, the cash flow of the mountain collar is still sufficient, and there are twenty or thirty thousand gold coins lying in the treasury at any time to call.

Of the 120,000 gold debts, more than 80,000 gold coins are operating debts, including the "60,000 gold coins" spent on the purchase of orc slaves.

In addition, there are 30,000 gold coins of debt, which are being continuously converted into operating debts. What really needs to be filled with real gold and silver is only more than 10,000 gold coins.

That's right, the last more than 10,000 gold coins are owed to his own son, Baron Redman. Fathers and sons also have to settle accounts, and help cannot be taken in vain.

Weapons and equipment, pots and pans, farm tools, everything that could be replenished, Hudson arrived all over again.

Now there is nothing missing in my hometown, and there is really no credit, so I can only pay in cash.

As for when it will be repaid, it depends on the finances of the mountain collar, and when it will be rich.

With the money in his account now, Hudson didn't dare to move it. In case of an accident one day, these are all life-saving money.

It can only be said that Hudson, who owes a huge amount of debt, is very mixed in aristocratic circles, and no one even thinks he is poor.

More than 20,000 lords + more than 20,000 slaves, simply counting the population, have caught up with some fiefdom viscounts.

If it is precipitated for a few years, the operating debts will be settled. Hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land will be opened up, and the foundation of a middle-class aristocrat will be established.

……

"Master, I made an advance payment of two thousand gold coins today. It was mainly a batch of farm tools and daily necessities sent to Hansen, Kadar, and Warren counties, including a small number of weapons.

All three agents are waiting outside, see if it's ......"

Before the old butler could finish speaking, Hudson interrupted directly: "I won't show up." This kind of small thing, you will be responsible for receiving it in the future. ”

Although it is Party B, it is also a domineering Party B that has mastered the core competitiveness. To be able to receive an advance payment and then to organize production is enough to say it all.

Coupled with the disparity in the status of the aristocracy and the ticket merchant, Hudson had completely faceless capital.

In fact, this kind of invisibility is good for everyone. Businessmen are profit-seeking, and they like to be scheming, so it's just right for them to quarrel with the housekeeper.

If Hudson really came to negotiate in person, even if it could be negotiated, I am afraid that everyone would not feel comfortable.

Operating debt increased again, and Hudson didn't bother to do the math. According to the current operating model, for a long time to come, the mountain territory will have to operate under high debt.

The main reason is that there are too few upstream suppliers, otherwise there will be more debt. Deeply realized the benefits of using other people's money to develop his own territory, Hudson seemed to have opened a Pandora's box.

Looking at the account sheet on the bamboo slips, Hudson deeply felt that the products of his own territory were too simple.

All revolves around "iron", and if a few more iron mines are discovered in the southeastern province one day, his Hudson's business will be shattered in an instant.

But if it doesn't revolve around "iron", what else can you do to make a fortune in these years?

Since ancient times, feudal dynasties have made the most huge profits with "salt" and "iron", and it is pure luck to be able to share a cup of "iron" soup.

"Salt", if Hudson dares to reach out. It is estimated that on a dark and windy night, the mountain collar was destroyed.

There is no doubt that the Dalton family, driven by huge profits, can definitely do this kind of thing.

According to rumors, salt accounted for half of the Dalton family's profits. If anyone dares to touch this cake, they will have to turn their faces every minute.

Even if some nobles are unwilling, they will secretly instruct a few merchants to sell illicit salt at most, and they must be careful not to leak the slightest rumor.

Many times, the slightest wind and grass scare them into killing people. So much so that more smugglers died in the hands of the master's envoy behind the scenes, than by the Governor's Palace.

As for whether these guys made any money from it, Hudson thought that they didn't, at least they didn't make huge profits.

The reason is very simple: salt sales are generally stable everywhere and have risen slightly over time. As soon as there is a decline in sales, it immediately attracts the attention of the Dalton family.

In this context, Mo said that he wanted to make money and not be caught by others, it was all blessed by the Lord of the Dawn.

If the most profitable industry can't reach out, then it can only retreat to the next best and choose the second-class industry - "tobacco and alcohol".

Smoke is eliminated first, there are no things in the Aslant continent, even if Hudson can find tobacco leaves, then he doesn't know who to sell to.

"Wine", that has to be wine. In many of the banquets Hudson attended, wine was used.

It is a pity that the southeastern province knows just by listening to its name, and its geographical location is in the south of the kingdom.

The rain is indeed abundant, but when it comes to light, it can only be a matter of luck.

In a year like this year, when there is less rain, there is plenty of sunshine and the grapes are in good condition.

But in a rainy year, it's good to see the grapes fruiting, what kind of quality can you expect!

The main buyers of wine were the aristocracy, although most of them were too old to tell the difference between good and bad wine.

But some of them "pay attention to people" have a deep study of this thing and have the right to speak in the industry.

Even if Hudson could produce it, it would only be in the most competitive "low-end wine".

Instead of making that little bit of hard-earned money, it's better to make liquor and slowly cultivate the market.

Of course, this is just imagination. Until a user is found, the robust Hudson will not blindly develop products that run counter to the market.

What else can be done besides these products?

"Matches", it seems, are a little difficult to produce. Purely manual work, just think about how high the production cost is.

It's just easy to use, but it's hard to sell at a high price. After all, the nobles don't need to live and cook by themselves, is it convenient for the servants to be important?

"Soap", a must-have product for travelers. But that stinky thing is mainly used to wash clothes.

If you want to stand out, you have to change the production process to produce a new product with no odor.

Anyway, pure animal oil cannot be used as a raw material, otherwise the odor cannot be eliminated. There was no difference from the stinky soaps on the market, and Hudson didn't think that there was a huge profit in rotten street stuff.

Vegetable oil substitution, it seems that you can try it. However, with the current production of vegetable oil, I am afraid that it will not be able to be counted on in the short term.

This kind of new thing can only make a wave of quick money. Once someone else deciphers the technology, followers will soon appear.

Aslant is not popular for patent protection, and even if it does, Hudson does not have the strength to fight piracy on the mainland.

Hudson has decided to increase vegetable oil production. When you accumulate enough raw materials, you will go out and make a wave of quick money.

As for the technical leak, at least it can occupy a place in the market by virtue of the name of the starter.

"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"

People's hearts are long, and when the price is comparable, everyone still prefers to use genuine products.

Unless the quality of the genuine product is not as good as piracy, then there is nothing to say, and it deserves to be eliminated from the market.

If you really want to get mixed up with that, Hudson admitted it.
