Mountain Collar, Hudson was busy feasting guests.

After several months of hard work, although there was no shadow of the castle, the temporary lord's palace was built.

With the right venue, there is a basis for holding a banquet.

After all, he is a member of the aristocratic group, how can he not hold a banquet?

Compared with other regions, the nobles of the two counties of Rite and Wyton are all representatives of the thrifty faction.

Although it is rare for Hudson to hold a banquet for the first time after settling down for half a year, there are not a few people who only hold an event once a month.

They are all forced by "money".

Except for a few with a strong family background, most of the lords are facing a financial crisis.

If you don't have any money in your pocket, you can't be arrogant. It can only reduce the cost of all aspects and reduce the number of banquets, which is one of the important means.

Although it was Hudson's first time hosting a banquet, the number of guests attending the banquet was still small. It's not that there is a shortage of people to attend the banquet, it's mainly that Hudson only invited the two dozen people in front of him.

Without exception, all of them are not far away and have some friendship.

If there is an accident, everyone can take care of each other. The ability to be mutually beneficial is the core reason for the formation of this emerging interest group.

Hudson is in a good mood, and several friends have recommended talent to him. Although the timing was too coincidental, Mr. Hudson, who was seriously short of people, couldn't take care of it so much.

There are many people and many things, compared to other village chief-level lords with a population of only a thousand, how can the mountain leader be the size of a large town.

In a large town with a population of tens of thousands, there are only seven managers, all of whom are borrowed from outside.

Relying on such a small number of people to maintain the normal operation of the territory, Hudson admired his management ability a little.

It's just that with the continuous development of the territory, the specific things that need to be planned and managed have become more and more, and the number of people has become insufficient.

Hudson is not without his own cultivation of talents, and the following captains and security chiefs are the "key talents" he has painstakingly cultivated.

It is already very difficult for a group of purely illiterate people to be able to do grassroots work well, and it is obviously unrealistic to expect them to grow up immediately.

A limited number of cronies must also be placed in the army. Hudson still paid more attention to the control of the army than to the administrative management.

This can be seen from the talent recruited. It was all the administrative personnel who were targeted, and no matter how talented the military commanders were, he Hudson would not dare to use them.

Although there are not many history books in the family, some lessons are recorded. Countless heroes and heroes have failed to start businesses, and the reason for this is the betrayal of their subordinates.

In troubled times, the army is the lifeblood. The army is not chaotic, everything has room for maneuver. If there is a problem in the army, it can only rely on the Lord of Dawn to protect it.

Ability can be cultivated slowly, and loyalty must not be compromised. Anyway, there are only a few soldiers in total, as long as you can carry out orders without discounting, it will be enough.

When it comes to military command ability, Hudson feels that his level of "talking on paper" is also at the top of a group of colleagues who only know how to charge stupidly.

If you go to the battlefield a few more times and accumulate some actual combat experience, you may become a famous general in the mainland.

Hudson felt that recruiting these guys into the army would be irresponsible to himself.

There may have been outstanding military talents among the down-and-out nobles who lived in exile, but Hudson did not think that he could recruit these great gods as a young baron.

On the contrary, it is simple to recruit administrative personnel, as long as there is the level of those housekeepers, they can be used first.

In the future, if there are more suitable candidates, there will be a change, and if there are not enough talents, it is better to wait for the elderly officers in the army to retire.

Who made Lord Hudson dare not promote compulsory education in his territory, and could only secretly teach some officers to read and write in the army?

In terms of knowledge dissemination, there has long been a tacit agreement within the aristocratic group that it is only allowed to circulate in a small area.

It was not only the serfs who did not have the opportunity to learn, but also the freedmen outside. Including many businessmen, who are also illiterate.

And that's not even the worst of it. As far as Hudson knew, some of the down-and-out noble lords were also illiterate.

If there is no one to pull back, you will have to pay a terrible price if you want to regain knowledge.

……

"Hudson, do you really want to fight the Sith?"

Adrian Knight's cautious question.

It's not a question of whether they support or not, they all belong to the same family, and on this issue, Adrian was divided into camps from the beginning.

Raising his wine glass and taking a sip gently, Hudson said with great enjoyment: "Whether you want to fight with him, in fact, the core is not on me, but whether you need me to fight."

has been pushed all the way to the present, and it is no longer possible to retreat if I say retreat.

The farce in Lytte County is a small episode in the curtain, and there must be more to come.

If you don't want to be overturned by the wind and waves, then find a way to increase your strength!

We don't have much time left, try to accumulate as much ...... as we can before the storm comes."

The more you get to the back, the quieter it becomes, even if everyone in the neighborhood is considered "your own people", there are some things Hudson still doesn't dare to say.

This meeting, which seems to be just an ordinary exchange, is actually the formation of a new interest group.

Although the group still seems to be weak, Lyte County is already a big force. Excluding the influence of other aspects, it has barely been able to compete with the Northland nobles in the county.

"What a life!

I don't even know whether to envy you or pity you. But you can see that you are enjoying everything you are doing now.

Can I understand that you are ready to deal with Baron Sith, or have found a way to intervene in the face of the Felix family? ”

Adrian Knights look forward to the question.

From the side of the Coslow family, it is natural to hope that Hudson can win this dispute.

As long as Hudson seized the position of county guard, and with the support of all the family lines, it would not be long before he could gain a foothold among the middle nobility.

With this step, the Coslow family can be regarded as the number one in the southeastern province. Even if you look at the whole kingdom, you have the most basic right to speak.

The threshold for the noble council of the kingdom is the viscount, and it must also hold real power to be eligible to join.

Although it actually has a limited right to speak, it is still nominally the highest authority in the Alpha Kingdom, and can make decisions on major matters in the Kingdom.

"Heaven Descends"

The most direct embodiment is that the security is more secure, and in case it is suppressed by the big nobles, it can also roar twice in the kingdom council.

It's uncertain how much of a role it can play, but as long as things are brought to the table, many things must be done according to the rules.

This is also the reason why although the Dalton family is powerful, they can't cover the sky with one hand in the southeastern province.

"Don't guess, I didn't say that. If it gets out, I won't admit that it will have any bad effects.

Now there is only one thing I want to do, and that is to keep improving myself. Don't expect anything else, as long as the training of these two infantry regiments under your command is completed, who do you think is the county guard? ”

Hudson said with a sneer.

Faith is all contrast. The lack of support from his colleagues made Hudson more and more confident.

What is the strategic planning and strategic layout...... It's all nonsense, most of the noble lords don't have any plans, they just mess around like ordinary people.

Hudson's teammates are basically all of this way, and Adrian Cavaliers are already the most thoughtful among them.

Those powerful characters, it is a pity that they do not belong to the scope of Lord Hudson's wooing. To put it simply, don't take them with you.

Ability is not equal to strength, and before completing the primitive accumulation, no matter how awesome a guy is, he is no different from an ordinary person.

Directly exclude them from the circle and do not give them the opportunity to complete the primitive accumulation, and the general trend will soon teach them how to behave.

The situation in Wyton County is still uncertain, but the pattern of the two powers in Leyton County is already very clear. Whoever wants to become the third pole will be attacked by the two major forces.

Hudson had already observed a moment of silence for the Baron Ezekir. The ability is indeed very good, but unfortunately its own strength cannot support its ambitions.

This is a tragedy that belongs to the grassroots. If you don't give it a go, it is estimated that everyone will not know that there is still a person like him in Latte County.

Painstaking planning, careful preparation, and dozens of times the effort, choosing the most appropriate time to give it a go, but in the end, it was inevitable that Baron Sith would be "reduced by ten meetings".

Outside the battlefield, all calculations are won, and all battles on the battlefield are lost.

The desperate resistance only makes the story a little more tragic. Perhaps the wandering poet will like the tragic hero, but the aristocratic world will not sympathize with the loser.

Hudson, by contrast, was much more lewd. At the beginning, he knew that his strength was not good, and he had been hiding in the territory and ignoring the outside world.

The only thing I can do is to brag about it. I didn't go out and blow it myself, but with the help of my former colleagues.

The story of "true and false, false and true" is interspersed together, but it has deceived many people.

It wasn't until the initial accumulation was completed and the fame was transformed into strength that it slowly moved to the foreground.

Half of the two infantry regiments can't fight, but this does not affect the eyes of the outside world, these two infantry regiments are elite divisions.

People always like to believe what they see, so Hudson let everyone see "two elite infantry regiments".

After all, how could the nobles who were high up in the sky care about the transfer of people below.

The first troupe has performed for a long time, and now it is the second troupe that often appears in the outside world. In everyone's inherent cognition, the first regiment formed last year is more powerful.

As everyone knows, Hudson just played a game of words. The current first regiment is the new regiment, and except for a small number of personnel changes in the second regiment placed outside, ninety percent of the soldiers are from the original first regiment.

The first regiment nested in the depths of the territory every day, conducting military training on the one hand, and guarding the orc slaves on the other, and they would not show their faces unless they trained a famous hall.

Once again, the bluff succeeded and directly established the pattern of the confrontation between the two powerhouses in Lyte County.

If Hudson didn't have two "elite infantry regiments" in his hands, these allies in the hall alone would not be able to compete with the Northland nobles in the county.

The biggest reason why I dare to play so well is naturally the tacit understanding reached with Baron Sith. Anyway, it's all a war of words, and whoever instigates it is the grandson.

Even if he found out that something was wrong, Hudson didn't think Baron Sith would dare to take risks, who made him an illegitimate child?

In case of misjudgment, it will be a lose-lose situation. Even if Grand Duke Kavadia loves his son and wants to invest more, his half-siblings will try to hold back.

Banquet, an unprecedented success.

The guests who witnessed Hudson's military prowess had regained their confidence as if they had been shattered by the northern frontiers.

Everyone believed that as long as everyone united, they would have the strength to oppose the nobles of the Northland in the county.

Despite the addition of Wyttonshire, the native nobility was at a disadvantage. But that doesn't matter, what about a baron from the Dalton family on the other side?

Within their own sphere of influence, a little support from the family is enough to turn things around.

Especially the nobles who were forced to change land before, they had accumulated a belly of anger, and they couldn't wait to vent it immediately.

Rushing directly, everyone is not so impulsive, but the confidence to speak louder is still there all of a sudden.

……

"Lord Longxi, you don't invite me to a banquet for the Mountain Baron, and I really have no status as a neighbor on his side.

Otherwise, if you look for an entry point from somewhere else, and find a nobleman who has a lot of weight in his mind as a lobbyist, maybe the effect will be ......."

When the matter came, Baron Kate, who was unwilling to become a pawn, struggled with her last effort.

Although he doesn't know what kind of big business it is, his understanding of these people will definitely not be a serious business.

Involving it will definitely do him all kinds of harms, but no benefits.

In case you know something you shouldn't know, it's not completely impossible to be killed by these guys.

"Enough kid, honestly lead the way in front. One more piece of nonsense, and I'll break your third leg first.

It's a shame that you kid still has the face to say. I've been neighbors for half a year, and I've done business with each other several times, but I can't even mix a banquet invitation, I'm ashamed of you! ”

Ryushi reprimanded indifferently.

I originally thought it was an important chess piece, but I didn't expect it to be a waste in the end.

It felt like a "car", and after picking it up and looking at it carefully, I found that it was actually a "pawn" to impersonate.

Under the murderous eyes of everyone, Kailet stubbornly led the group into the mountain collar. The bitterness and tears in my heart can only be swallowed in my stomach alone.

……

In the living room, the atmosphere was suddenly depressed to the extreme, as if the sky was about to fall.

The visitor was a guest, and originally thought that Calette had brought a group of people over to discuss the issue of picking up the goods, but Hudson also entertained him very warmly.

But after a short period of contact, he soon realized that it was not like that.

Especially Baron Kelet, at this moment, as if he was serving his ancestors, carefully following a man in purple, made him realize that something was wrong.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you are not like me from the southeast. I don't know what everyone is doing here? ”

Hudson asked, feigning surprise.

As for Baron Kellett, from the moment he entered the door, he was directly ignored by Hudson.

His instinct told him that this time it was not business, but trouble.

It's just that everyone "has no grievances in the past, and no hatred in the near future", and Hudson can't figure out what trouble there is, and will find him at this time.

Even if the Coslow family had been in the Northlands, it would have been hundreds of years ago. No matter how much hatred can be pulled, it will not be enough for people to send people to retaliate after a hundred years.

"Baron Hudson is polite, so many of us have come here today to take the liberty of bothering, mainly to discuss a big deal with Your Excellency.

A big deal of more than 300,000 gold coins, as long as this order is completed, all the economic difficulties you are facing now will be solved. ”

Listening to the words of the man in purple, Hudson's face instantly became ugly. The news of his high debts spread from the southeastern provinces to the northlands.

I didn't have to think about it to know that someone had leaked it, and glared at Baron Kellett fiercely.

Among the dozen or so people present, he was the only one who was familiar with him, and he happened to know the news of the mountain collar's debts, and he was the number one suspect.

"300,000 gold coins is indeed a big deal. It's just that this kind of good business, why can it be cheap for me?

The only thing that the mountain collar can get his hands on is some iron tools.

Looking at the entire Alpha Kingdom, whether it is the production capacity of iron or the quality of iron tools, they are all not ranked. ”

Hudson said with a blank face.

He does like big business, but it's all serious business. Although he also took this kind of business of unknown origin, those were small orders.

Even if there are some problems, the overall risk is manageable. This time the situation is obviously different, the large order of 300,000 gold coins, it is estimated that as soon as the order is delivered, it will immediately cause a big movement.

There are quite a few people staring at the mountain collar now, and Hudson doesn't think that he can complete this huge deal under the noses of a group of well-intentioned people.

"Baron Hudson, don't get too excited. When it comes to such a big business, it's normal for you to worry about the risks.

The reason for finding you is very simple, we need to order a lot of weapons. Looking at the entire Alpha Kingdom, the weapons produced by the mountain territory are of the worst quality! ”

After hearing this explanation, Hudson almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood.

When you meet, you can reveal people's shortcomings, can you still communicate happily?

Is this because he doesn't want to sell good weapons?

I just don't dare!

Obviously he could produce better quality iron, but for the sake of safety, he Hudson still chose to make a little less.

If it weren't for his selfless dedication, the serf soldiers in the southeastern provinces would have dreamed if they wanted to use iron weapons.

Without weapons, how can you realize everyone's dream of Jin Ge Iron Horse?

You must know that in the past weapon fights, serf soldiers were excluded. Even if there is participation, it can only be regarded as a group fight at best.
