Winter turns to spring, and the earth is full of vitality again. The scars of the war have been removed from the counties of Latt and Wyton.

The joy of a good harvest is the most heart-warming thing. The spring grain was put into storage, the days of green and yellow were over, and the mountain collar was also immersed in joy.

The Hudson lord, who was in a good mood, even generously invited the people to taste the white bread once. The conscience of the lord realm has once again been raised to a new level.

Even the hard-pressed slaves finally enjoyed a lunch without eating dirt on this day.

It's all a group of Northland nobles who have made a bad start, and Lord Hudson never added soil to bread.

Ever since I learned about the rumors that orcs could eat dirt, I added a percentage of salt soil to the inferior bread provided to these guys.

The effect was very good, and the cost of salt alone in the territory was reduced by a third. The expenditure on food rations has also been reduced considerably.

By the way, it also shocked people's hearts and greatly improved the progress of land reclamation. Especially the few guarantees at the bottom of the progress, one by one, they are all full of energy, lest they will have to eat soil to survive after being at the bottom in a row.

After all, Lord Hudson was still merciful and didn't let everyone eat the soil directly.

However, the "Bao" at the bottom of the wasteland is indeed having a hard time. The replacement of the chief of the security guard is the basic operation, and the rations can only be taken from the lowest share of the people, and various benefits must also be lowered.

Also affected are the working groups with the slowest progress in the mines. The elimination system at the end was obviously played by Master Hudson.

After all, he still lived as the person he hated the most.

After some tossing, the effect is also remarkable.

The production capacity of the mining area has been rising, and the monthly output value on the books has directly exceeded the 15,000 gold coin mark.

According to this output value, there is still a long way to go before the debt is paid off.

It's all caused by opening up new markets, and the Hudson man, who is addicted to prepayment, can't stop at all.

As a price for expanding production, the net profit of the product has plummeted. It is mainly the middleman channel, which takes away a part of the profits.

Everything was worth it, and the result of the concession directly led to the fact that the mountain territory became the largest iron trading center in the southeastern province.

The carriages that flow every day look like they are thriving. The booming business has greatly boosted the confidence of creditors.

In order to provide better services for the business travelers, Lord Hudson even stopped the construction team of the lord's mansion and built inns and taverns as quickly as possible......

Looking at the rising turnover, Hudson was not happy.

Paying the price by volume has never been a good business model.

Compared with the super-profits brought by the production of weapons and equipment, the creation of these ordinary daily necessities is completely incomparable.

Even with the addition of supporting service industries, the net income of the territory has dropped by two percent compared with its peak.

Fortunately, listed companies do not need to release financial reports, otherwise the stock price will have to fall non-stop.

Prosperity can cover up all crises, and the scene of busy traffic has allowed Hudson to successfully shape a character who is not bad for money.

As for the debts owed, as long as they are not paid with real money, they are all negligible.

Even if someone comes to collect it, it is also a proof that the business is booming, as long as the mine is not hollowed out, this scene can be sung.

The crazy accumulation of money is finally reflected in the construction of the territory.

The slag road, which is under construction, has been completed for 7 miles and is still expanding at a rate of 3 miles per month.

There is no mechanical equipment, it is done purely manually, and it can have this speed, and it is the terrain that gives face.

Coupled with the repair and widening of the original road, the avenue that can accommodate two carriages at present has a total mileage of more than 18 miles.

Various forked paths, that's more. Just because it does not meet the high requirements of Lord Hudson, it is not included in the statistical category.

The results of land reclamation also exceeded expectations.

The results of the involution are remarkable, and the original plan of 20,000 mu has directly increased to 33,000 mu.

The data directly made Mr. Hudson abandon the uneasiness of conscience. Facts have proved that grinding foreign workers is really undesirable.

Of course, the increase in labor force in the later period is also one of the reasons for exceeding expectations.

The only thing that didn't see results was the swampland, which was developed in too short a short time, and only managed to isolate hundreds of acres of land.

In this regard, Hudson was the least anxious. The rows of ditches don't lie, once connected, it's a water network.

The raised land in the middle was just right for growing rice, and even the seeds Hudson had to buy them back.

Although the Alpha Kingdom did not have the habit of eating rice, this did not affect Hudson's decision in any way.

If you can't sell it, you can eat it yourself, and it should be regarded as improving everyone's living habits. Anyway, judging from the situation in the mountain territory, there will be no grain to sell for a long time in the future.

Behind the remarkable results, there must be a dark scene.

The serfs were fine, although there were some losses, but counting the pregnant women's wombs, the population still increased slightly.

The loss of slaves is somewhat large, probably because of the inexperience of managing slaves for the first time, and more than 500 people were lost in less than two months.

Half of the swamp was swallowed up.

Most of them are stupid. When working, he is careless, cheating, and does not take safety production as a thing at all.

The overseers were also very helpless about this situation.

"Again and again, again and again" reminders, how can everyone not understand the language, it is completely to cows, pigs, rats, and ...... Play.

Perhaps because he did not inherit the IQ of the second senior brother, Pig's casualty rate directly occupied the top spot.

If you want to make up for the loss, you only need to keep the male and female pigs together, let them mate freely, and you can add a new litter in a few months.

There is no doubt that Hudson would not do this kind of expansion of the orc race, as an orthodox nobleman.

What to do, the race that eats first is obviously not the labor that Lord Hudson needs.

Survival of the fittest is the law of nature.

These slave races, which have a whole lot in the Orc Empire, are far from the point where they need to protect endangered species.

The mountain realm flourished, and the other nobles were not idle.

Baron Kate, who has been cheated by Hudson many times, has finally reached the afterglow of this wave.

Benefiting from the increase in business travel to and from the mountain territory, the casinos and entertainment venues of the Maple Leaf Collar have also been boosted.

Although it is not hot, it is finally profitable.

In particular, the hot performances of interracial beauties can attract a lot of eyeballs every time.

It's a pity that Baron Kate has a rule that these women usually only accept nobles for overnight stays, and do not accept business.

Only once a month, the auction, where the highest bidder wins, can be an exception.

Typical self-raising prices, but everyone still eats this set.

Originally, Baron Kate was able to earn more, but unfortunately Baron Sith followed suit in Dadir City and stole a large number of noble customers.

Without waiting for Hudson to do something, the conflict of interests made the relationship between the two worse.

This kind of money is destined to not last long, if nothing else, there will be many Northland nobles to follow suit.

Even some guys who are red-eyed and don't have the conditions to follow the trend will directly sell interracial beauties.

These two are not the only nobles in the Northland, who have developed well. One side of the water and soil, there is the characteristics of one side of the water and soil.

Certain clever nobles have already sold some of the specialties of the Northlands locally. Business is not very good, but it is profitable in the end.

If you can make money by doing business, why fight and kill?

The days of Liwei have passed, and what is needed now is integration. Smart people, the mentality that has been adjusted early.

If this kind of peaceful life lasts for one hundred and eighty years, it is estimated that the label of "Northland Aristocrat" will slowly disappear from people's sight, leaving only a folk tale.

Unfortunately, the reality is cruel, and as soon as the spring plowing was arranged, Hudson received an unexpected letter.

Miss Melissa, who was studying in the royal capital, suddenly wrote to tell him that Cayo Dalton had graduated early.

This familiar and unfamiliar name soon awakened Hudson's memory.

The lord of Fallen Leaves in Wyton County, who has not arrived for a long time, happens to be called this name.

If this identity alone is not enough to impress Hudson. Just a baron, he has long been out of sight.

But the problem is this guy's last name - Dalton.

Hudson inquired through his own connections, and this guy was the nephew of the current head of the family, Earl Pierce, and the only nephew.

If it weren't big enough, it wouldn't have been named in the kingdom mage group, and after a few credits, he got a rich fief.

Reincarnation is a technical job that I can't envy.

People are not here, but the development of Fallen Leaf Town is not slow at all.

Even if he is just a steward in the territory, with the name of the Dalton family, it is still a smooth journey.

With a strong background and development within his own sphere of influence, as long as Baron Cayo is not an idiot, there is basically no suspense about the position of the county warden of Wyton County.

The nobles of Wyton County are far less active than the nobles of Lyteshire, and it is estimated that this is also the reason.

Knowing that he can't fight, naturally no one will easily take the lead and cause the hostility of the future county guards.

It's not like Lyte County, which has developed from the initial group of heroes to the present day.

Until the final result comes out, no one dares to say who will have the last laugh between Hudson and Sith.

Standing in Hudson's position, he naturally hopes that this guy will spend a few more years in the royal capital.

In the absence of Baron Cailliaud, Hudson was the brightest cub among the native aristocracy.

The first few active representatives had already been taught to be human beings by the nobles of the Northland in the previous struggle.

Losers, have no say.

Hudson, the only one who had repeatedly fought against the Northland aristocracy and had not yet been beaten by society, naturally became a spiritual leader.

This status did not have any real power, but among the native aristocracy, it had a great deal of influence.

The smooth development of the mountain collar is also strongly related to this invisible influence.

Coupled with the military strength and financial resources of the mountain collar, even if you go outside, you can be looked down upon.

It's a pity that all of this adds up to the surname of "Dalton".

It cannot be said that all the local nobles will be pulled over, but the diversion of Hudson's voice among the local nobles will inevitably happen.

Knowing that soft power will be weakened, Hudson can't do anything about the initiators.

In addition to replying as quickly as he could, arranging a gift, and asking someone to bring it over as a token of gratitude, Hudson immediately threw himself into the response.

Although the members of the Coslow family are widely distributed, most of them are concentrated in the lower strata of the aristocratic group, and the penetration of the middle and upper strata is too weak.

It stands to reason that with Cayo's identity, he should be noticed by the family.

But with such an important news as early graduation, it was Miss Melissa who first informed Hudson.

Is it the family members in the imperial capital who are deliberately slacking off, or are they really powerless. Hudson prefers to believe that it is the latter.

Stalking in the Academy of Magic is obviously not something that ordinary people can do. With the size of the Coslow family, it's pure and tired of getting around.

In case someone catches you, it's a magic test subject +1.

The seemingly gentle mages never show mercy when they toss people. Running sneakily in front of people is purely tired of being alive.

Letter after letter, flying out of the mountain collar, as if the parchment had no money.

With the spread of the letter, a bloody storm that was about to unfold around the two counties of Wyton and Rite began to brew in secret.

……

In the royal capital, Baron Cailliaud, who had completed the graduation ceremony, was looking at the campus with nostalgia for the last time.

"Young master, it's time to hit the road."

The butler's words pulled Cayo out of his memory.

"Well, let's go!"

After saying that, Baron Cayo turned around and left.

Rather than inherit the territory, he would rather become a great magician, to discover the true meaning of life, and to one day become transcendent.

It's a pity that magicians are a profession that eats talent, and the Academy of Magic gathers magical elites from all over the kingdom, but in the end, there are very few who are qualified to delve into it.

is almost thirty years old, and has not yet been able to become a high-level mage, Cayo's path to a mage has basically been declared impossible.

The children of the nobility can have ideals, but they are never allowed to detach themselves from reality.

After encountering a bottleneck and being unable to break through for a long time, Cayo also had to change paths.

A mage is much more expensive than a knight's gold, but he is only a mid-level mage, and he is still dispensable to the Dalton family.

Unless he can become a magician, Cayo won't have much of a say.

Including the current title, there are many interested children in the family. If his uncle was not the head of the family, such a good errand would not have fallen on him at all.

From the moment he entered the carriage, Cailliaud kept looking through the materials, which not only showed the development of Fallen Leaf Town, but also recorded everything that happened in the two counties of Wyton and Lyte.

……

The background of the great nobles is not comparable to that of the small nobles, and soon after Baron Cailliaud's convoy opened the royal capital, the Sith received the exact news, and even the route taken was marked.

"Judging by the data, this Baron Cayo is a magic maniac. Let such a person be the lord of the fallen leaves, I really don't know what the Dalton family thinks.

I think our Baron Hudson will have a common topic with him, after all, they are all magicians! ”

Sith said contemptuously.

It's not that he deliberately looks down on people. is really the same magician, and it is also divided into three, six, nine and so on.

Hudson, a wild mage who relied on luck, has always been the most despised.

Others have worked hard for decades, but in the end, they become magicians with the guy who rubs the talent of Warcraft, and normal people will be unbalanced in their hearts.

Especially for a lucky person like Hudson, who rubbed on the talent of the Earth Bear, it was even more hateful.

In the case of comparable cultivation, the orthodox mage who works hard to cultivate will most likely not be able to win the wild mage who came out, whose mentality does not collapse?

Especially for students who were dissuaded from the Academy of Magic because of their lack of talent, it was even more exciting.

It just so happens that Cayo and Hudson are still competitors, and if there is a little jealousy mixed with interests, the scene will be even better.

Once the two got into a fight, the local aristocracy was divided. For the nobles of the Northlands, that was a good thing.

"Young Master, this information may not be true. The Daltons don't just want more than a deciduous collar, they have a much bigger appetite than that.

Wyton County seems to be peaceful, but that is because the protagonist of Baron Cayo is not there, and everyone deliberately restrains the desire to fight.

Once this guy doesn't perform as expected, I'm afraid it won't be so peaceful next.

Now that the competition is so fierce, no matter how willful the Dalton family is, it is impossible to put a pig on the throne of the county guard. ”

Butler Ferren's words made Baron Sith's face sink.

In the world of great contention, all families continue to tilt their resources towards the best children.

If it is left in the peaceful years, it is just that he is an illegitimate child who is incompetent, and he really needs to be able to excel, and that is the way to die.

Now illegitimate children can get a part of the resources because of their own ability, which is enough to prove that it is a precursor to the coming of the storm.

Against this backdrop, it is clearly illogical for the Dalton family to dump their precious resources on a waste.

"You are right, and indeed no one should be taken lightly.

Although on the surface, Hudson's guy will be affected by Cayo's arrival, but the two are not in the same county after all, and the probability of a conflict breaking out in a short period of time is unlikely.

On the contrary, because of Cailliaud's arrival, some of the nobles who were originally suppressed by us will be revitalized again.

It just so happens that Cayo also needs to establish prestige, and he may take advantage of the situation to point the finger at my children in the north.

The northern nobility of Wyton County was attacked, and the city of Dadir was not left alone. Once the turmoil expands, I am afraid that I will have to face it in the end. ”

Sith said with a frown.

Facts have once again proved that the boss is not good. obviously has little to do with him, but he has to come out to stand up for the younger brothers.

"Young Master, I'm afraid this is not something 'maybe', but a 'definitely' happen.

When he first arrived, the Cayo Baron had only a Dalton surname, and it was difficult to suppress the mountain baron in terms of prestige.

Boldly provoking internal strife will not only disappoint a group of nobles who want revenge, but also push many originally neutral local nobles to his opposite.

Unless Baron Cailliaud can give up the battle for the leadership of the native nobility, he will probably be unable to help himself, even if he does not want to turn against us. ”
