Coming out of the Governor's Palace, Hudson's head was buzzing.

Whether this transaction is a loss or a profit, this question is difficult to figure out for a while.

I have to admit that Count Pierce is an old political player, and he hit him in the soft underbelly as soon as he made a move.

Perhaps for Hudson personally, there was no substantial difference between a baron and a viscount, and a mere change of title did not bring substantial benefits.

But for others, the gap between the viscount and the baron is an insurmountable gulf, a class leap.

In the eyes of the outside world, taking this step, even if you step into the threshold of middle nobility, all that remains is time to accumulate.

If the dust hadn't settled and the news hadn't come out, the Coslow family would have celebrated.

It is estimated that the heads of the various branches distributed throughout the country will come to participate in the celebration in person.

……

Baron Cailliaud, who didn't know about the incident in the east window, was busy dealing with the official affairs of the territory, and was summoned to the governor's palace by the knights of the family.

Looking at the group of cronies and servants kneeling in the main hall, Baron Cayo was stupid.

Before he could react, Earl Pierce's whip had already been drawn. Fortunately, his father died early, otherwise this wave would have been a doubles.

It was not until he broke open and fell to the ground and wailed that Earl Pierce could barely suppress his anger.

Needless to say, Baron Cailliaud knew that his gang of rubbish must have betrayed him.

It's just that he can't understand why his uncle is so angry about such a trivial matter.

"Bastard, tell me honestly, how much have you been involved in this matter?"

Faced with Count Pierce's questioning, Baron Cailliaud's head was confused.

"How much to mix"?

What the hell is this?

It seems that apart from putting a few bottles of locust trapping potions in the counties of Lyte and Wyton, he hasn't done anything else recently?

"Don't admit it yet, look at what this thing is?"

As he spoke, an inconspicuous vial flew out of the hands of the Count of Pierce and landed steadily in front of Baron Cailliaud.

Looking at the familiar vial in front of him, Baron Cailliaud became more and more unpleasant to see the minions. The potion that was taken to trap people actually appeared here intact, isn't this a naked betrayal?

No wonder there is no rumor from the outside world, and he was caught, and his feelings are betrayed by an inner ghost.

"Uncle, I am also going to discuss this matter with you. It's just that at that time, you were busy organizing people to suppress the locust plague and didn't give me a chance to communicate alone, so you ......"

Without waiting for Baron Cailliaud to finish explaining, Count Pierce became more and more angry, pointed at him and scolded tremblingly:

"You idiot, this is trying to kill the family!"

Seeing this scene, Baron Cailliaud became more and more confused. Just put a few bottles of locust trapping potion, how could it involve the sake of the killing family.

If the Dalton family was so fragile, it would have been swallowed up long ago, how could it be today's glory.

"Uncle, this is a misunderstanding! How could I ......"

It's okay not to explain, that's an explanation. Earl Pierce's whip was drawn at him again, and his expression of hatred was as if he were about to eat people.

"Misunderstanding fart!

Colluded with the Holy See to drop locust trapping agents in the southeastern provinces. This kind of deadly thing, you bastard dare to do it. What else would you not dare to do?

Today I don't ......"

After figuring out what was going on, Baron Cayo wanted to cry without tears. "Collusion with the Holy See", this hat is deadly.

Although it was not explicitly stipulated in the decrees of the kingdom, an unspoken rule had long been formed among the nobility - not to be with the Holy See.

With such a crime, not only can you not mix in the Alpha Kingdom. In more than ninety percent of the Terran countries, there is no place for him.

Even if it is a big force like the Dalton family, once it is colluded with the Holy See, there will be no place for them in the kingdom.

"Uncle, you have been wronged!

I have nothing to do with the Holy See!

As you commanded, I have always been respectful of people in the Holy See. I didn't even say a few words, so how could I collude with them?

……”

Baron Cayo hurriedly explained.

Now he was really scared. It's just to put locust trapping potions in the two counties, and you can still hold it with your own strength, but if it involves collusion with the Holy See, then it's all over the calf.

After listening to his nephew's explanation, he realized that Count Pierce, who had caused a misunderstanding, looked much better, but his anger was still difficult to quell.

"Idiot!

It's just a little bit of a thing, and you can't do it. After staying in the royal capital for so many years, he didn't grow at all.

Now someone has come to the door with evidence, and I don't know it. Why didn't I find out, you kid is such a shit?

……”

It is not a crime to commit a black hand, but if the black hand is caught by others, it is a serious sin.

As a nobleman, you must have a glamorous appearance. Shadowy means can only be placed under the table.

Since Baron Cailliaud has been caught, even if he is not guilty of colluding with the Holy See, it is still a stain on his life that cannot be washed away.

Once the trouble starts, not only will Baron Cayo be finished, but the Dalton family will also be disgraced.

In the face of his uncle's reprimand, Cayo also wanted to cry without tears. Obviously, he was already very careful, and in order to hide his identity, he didn't even send his own people to do it.

Afterwards, he also sent someone to kill all the unlucky people he hired. The plan was perfect, but unfortunately it still couldn't avoid the East Window incident.

"Uncle, I've done a very secretive job in this matter. Except for these cronies, the other executors were killed.

Logically speaking, it should not be exposed. Where did you get this stuff? ”

Baron Cayo asked stiffly.

Even if you want to die, you have to be a ghost. What's more, he can't die this time, and if he is really ready to kill his relatives in righteousness, Earl Pierce will not bother to teach him a lesson.

"Humph!

Self-righteous stuff!

Everything has been delivered to the door, and I don't know who took it, you're really amazing.

Think for yourself!

If you don't understand, stay here and don't go back.

Save the shame of continuing to embarrass the family and ......"

Earl Pierce said angrily.

The nephew who has been painstakingly cultivated is actually like this, and he doesn't know how to complain.

However, the life path of the aristocracy is not smooth sailing. If you don't suffer from twists and turns when you're young, the social beatings you will encounter in the future will only get worse.

Almost all the children of the great nobles had to be sent out to experience in order to make them suffer setbacks.

Failure is not terrible, as long as you can learn lessons and accumulate experience, the great nobles have the capital to teach.

Geniuses are a minority after all, and with the family bloodline as the inheritance system, the probability of giving birth to a genius is even lower.

Most of them are middle-aged people, slowly honed through education.

Including the Earl of Pierce himself, he also came out after countless setbacks.

It's just that for Baron Cailliaud, the reality is too cruel and a shame. Everything is afraid of comparison, and if there are players of the same grade all around, even if you fail, you will not be discouraged.

Baron Cocayo is obviously not an ordinary player. There are so many talents in the two counties of Lyte and Wyton that he has to be cautious.

Unfortunately, no matter how cautious you are, you still have to take action in the end. But this first step made him tragically beaten by society.

After calming down, reviewing the recent changes in the two counties, Baron Cayo instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

The area where the locust plague was dropped was basically devastating, and only the mountain leaders were allowed to escape.

Originally, I thought it was because of the Earth Bear, but now it seems that it is clearly the potion that should have been put on the mountain collar, and it did not work, but appeared here as evidence against him.

It's too late to regret it, the east window incident happened, and the ass bloomed. Now that the beating is over, I can't beat it back.

Annoyed, Baron Cailliaud wanted to give himself two big slaps. I obviously made the decision not to cause trouble before Hudson ran out of gas, but I didn't expect it......

……

Mountain Territory, Hudson was busy dividing the spoils with Bear Stearns. To operate the knighthood, the rewards of the kingdom are estimated to be useless, but the rewards in the province are still there.

Through a series of insider trading, a total of two million pounds of rye, ten life essences, a bunch of magic crystals, and some basic cultivation resources were obtained.

There is no way, the price of food has risen in the disaster year, and now there is no market. If it weren't for Bear Stearns' face, it is estimated that there would not be so many things.

Hudson has never been stingy with his heroes. Directly put all the harvest in front of the cub, and announced domineeringly: "Bear Stearns, you have the greatest credit this time."

This side is the magic crystal, and on the other side is the food, life essence, and basic cultivation resources, anyway, the value of both sides is about the same, you choose first! ”

Seeing this scene, Bear Stearns rolled his eyes angrily and unceremoniously took the magic crystal for himself.

Multiple choice questions?

It's simply insulting the bear's IQ. What are the other things besides the magic crystal?

The basic cultivation resources, Hudson used it just right. resting on Bear Stearns, the fart effect is not unsaid, and even the appetite cannot be satisfied.

The life essence is similar, and the little energy contained in it is not as good as the feed pill refined by Hudson to Bear Stearns.

Food, that's even more pit. Despite Bear Stearns' appetite, it doesn't nibble on bread every day. Two million pounds of rye, a bear can't eat it until it gets moldy.

According to past experience, once the grain is chosen, then the storage fee, nursing fee, fire prevention fee ...... will follow.

As a rancher bear, Bear Stearns is most fed up by all sorts of messy expenses. As soon as he saw the thick bill, Uncle Xiong was annoyed.

Hudson only smiled at this scene. No matter what you choose, the end result is the same.

The magic crystal, in the hands of Bear Stearns, also can't survive the night. Compared to the slow absorption of the energy in the magic crystal, where is the opening and hanging.

The bear, who is used to living a life of luxury, has no way back. If he really went back to the turtle speed cultivation in the past, Uncle Xiong would rather go back and sleep beautifully.

After the spoils were divided, Hudson was about to leave when he was stopped by the cub.

"Hudson, don't forget your viscount, and Ben Bear's share."

Looking at Bear Stearns, who looked serious, Hudson nodded. It is not his style to pay debts, and the important role played by his own bears in this must be recognized.

"Don't worry, Bear Stearns. This kind of thing will definitely not forget your credit, I will add your avatar to the family crest, so that you can share the glory......"

Before Hudson could finish speaking, Bear Stearns threw himself on the ground, and said angrily:

"Humph!

Don't try to deceive Ben Xiong!

Obviously, you want to put my avatar on the family badge to show off your achievements, but you have to say something to share the glory, and those who don't know think I'm taking advantage.

To tell you the truth, the old man Redman has already prepared the badge. It's just that the carving is too ugly, and it was rejected by this bear! ”

The family crest is engraved with Warcraft, which is a routine operation. There is a powerful monster, if you don't show off it on the family crest, it's sorry for the vanity of the nobles.

There are many clansmen who think this way, and they have to go. It's just that in the past, Bear Stearns was not famous, and he couldn't pretend to be forced to take it out.

Now that his reputation is resounding, Hudson is ready to do the same, but he didn't expect to be preempted by his own son.

"Well, our Viscount Bear Stearns. Once the title is confirmed, you can also enjoy the title of viscount in the territory. ”

Hudson said indifferently.

Bear Sternmore said that he was called a viscount, even if he was called an earl or a king, no one would pay attention to it.

The king of the Earth Bears, what does it matter to mankind?

Whoever is full of food and holds on, to care about the Warcraft race, who is the king.

As for whether other Earth Bears will come to the door when they receive this news, no one knows.

Hudson, however, felt that the odds of such a thing happening were unlikely. Looking at Bear Stearns, if it weren't for his master's efforts to help him become more diligent, this thing would be a waste bear waiting to die.

There are many races known for being lazy, and there are really few who can be lazy to the point of their race. Even the laziest Pig in the realm is more diligent than Bear Stern.

"Where's the territory?"

It is worthy of a high-IQ bear, and the key to the problem was discovered at once. What is the point of having the name of a viscount and not having his own territory?

"Territory?

What territory?

Bear Stearns, you're not stupid, are you?

Someone divided a new territory for us, how did I not know?

Tell you to sleep less and dream less, and now the sequelae are coming. What is in a dream, do not bring it into real life.

There are still so many territories in the mountain territories as before. Not an inch of land has been added, where shall I go to give you a share of the territory?

If you really want it, it's not that you can't negotiate. We can partner in the development of wasteland, and the land developed can also be counted as your share. ”

Hudson agitated.

The biggest risk in these years is to start a business. The hills of the Salam Mountains are just that, and you can finally see the rewards.

Even though it's slow, that's a reward. The newly developed land is estimated to be able to return to its original cost after the last 18 years.

The endless swamp is simply a giant pit.

How others developed the swamps, Hudson didn't know. Anyway, the mud that is often more than ten meters away brings a hellish experience to the development.

After tossing for more than half a year, it seems that nearly 10,000 acres of land have been developed, and the manpower and material resources that can be invested are also astronomical.

If it weren't for the swamp fertilizer, which helped to restore a little blood, Hudson doubted that he would have been able to persevere.

Optimistically, it is estimated that if we do not encounter any disasters and have a bumper harvest for 20 years, we will probably be able to return to our capital.

The reality is definitely worse, and it's a bottomless pit in the short term. With the current productive forces, without the use of supernatural means, it is a series of projects in a lifetime.

The huge investment risk is too great, and the pressure to go it alone is too great, and Hudson has to find a partner with the wronged leader.

Bear Stearns, who is wealthy and has the ability to build magically, is undoubtedly the best partner.

Magic and manpower to open up the wasteland, perhaps this is the most correct swamp development model. Otherwise, this bottomless pit will be able to drag down the mountain territory sooner or later.

"You don't need to open up the wasteland, as long as you divide me into dozens of mountains to graze, this bear won't care about you."

As he spoke, he seemed to think of something. Bear Stearns, who was originally weak, suddenly became lively and jumping.

"No problem, as long as you pay on time. Anyway, you know the rent, the southeast province lacks mountains, and things are scarce and expensive.

But don't you really think about it anymore?

Mountains are not ideal pastoral areas, and once farming scales up, there will be all kinds of problems.

The best grazing is still the grassland. The Forgotten Swamp is a flat river, and as long as the water is drained, you can plant grass on it, or you can grow your favorite magic bamboo shoots......

With thousands of years to live, you may be able to push the limits and live longer than your average Earth Bear.

Ranwen

Bear Stearns, you are not yet three years old, which is the age of struggle, and you can't be decadent so early.

Think about it, you have a pasture of your own, raise tens of thousands of cattle and sheep, and have endless animal milk, honey, and magic bamboo shoots that you can't eat......

In this kind of life, isn't there countless female bears sent to the door to spread the branches and leaves for you. When the time comes, you can build your own Earth Bear Dynasty and give birth to a bunch of bear cubs.

If you want to go a little higher, you can also raise meat monsters. It's those varieties of monsters and beasts that are hybrids, you've eaten them, and they taste good, right?

……”

The pie gets bigger and bigger.

As he spoke, Hudson was about to get lost in the beautiful blueprint he had painted. Bear Stearns, who was brought to the rhythm, couldn't help drooling at the corners of his mouth at the moment.

Although the development of the swamp is protracted and the risks and benefits are not proportional, given the long life span of the Earth Bear, it seems that the payback period is not a big deal.

"How?"

As soon as he asked, Bear Stearns realized that something was wrong. It seems to have been tricked again, but it just followed Hudson's train of thought, and it really didn't find anything wrong with this plan.

"Of course, it is distributed according to the size of the output! There are two cooperation models: the first way, we contribute money to develop, I contribute labor and technology, and we divide the final results into 28 accounts.

In the second way, the money is still paid by everyone, and the labor and technology are also paid together, and the most results are directly divided into five or five accounts.

You think that's fair enough, right?

I didn't take advantage of you! ”

Hudson said unashamedly.

It doesn't sound like there's anything wrong with it, but when it comes to implementation, it's hard to say.

Not to mention how to calculate the cost, just out of labor and technology, it is a huge pit.

Hudson had a large pool of labor in his hands, but Bear Stearns did not. As an Earth Bear, Warcraft's identity is destined to make it impossible to recruit troops in the human world.

"You don't want me to do coolies yet, do you?"

As he spoke, Bear Stearns kept shaking his head. It's okay to do it once in a while, but if you have been working in the reclamation work for decades, it is simply killing you.

"What do you think, Bear Stearns. Do you think that you can work as a bear and be worth more than 20,000 slaves?

Everything is about skill.

You only need to release a magic spell at the critical moment to assist everyone in the construction.

I remember some bears saying that their curing technique can cover a mile and last for half a month, so they can't brag, right? ”

Hudson avoided the important and took it lightly.

If there is only one construction team, then it only takes half a month to cast a magic spell to solidify the silt on both sides of the ditch, and the rest of the time is left to the slaves to excavate.

But there are more construction teams, and there are more places where bears are needed. What's more, in the development of the swamp, you also need to deal with all kinds of strange creatures, and you also need to bear to help.

There is no need to talk too much about this extra work for the time being. As soon as Bear Stearns nods, its assets become project investments.

Divestment is impossible, and Hudson will turn the money on the books into means of production as quickly as possible.

Either accept the sunk costs of failed investment, or plunge into the cause of land reclamation. Anyway, no matter how you choose, Hudson will not lose.

All these things will be clearly defined in a written contract. Don't give the bear a chance to play tricks.

Seeing the cub's move, Hudson added: "Think about it, this kind of big investment has to be done carefully.

Although the opportunity is rare, if you miss this time, it will be difficult for you to encounter a second time in your bear life. But opportunities and risks always coexist, and there is no such thing as a sure-fire deal.

Swamp development is also fraught with risks. In the event of an emergency, or some bear bragging, it may lead to the loss of the project's capital.

If I can't afford to take the risk, I'll say nothing. After all, that's all your hard-earned money, and if you lose it because you're too lazy, you can't rely on me. ”

Risk Warning!
