Small means do not enter the stream, and they cannot play a substantive role, but they can disgust people. If it weren't for his self-cultivation, Hudson would have wanted to drive people out directly.

Especially hearing the word "borrowing" almost choked Hudson to death. There are still a lot of bad debts outside that can't be recovered, and if they continue to add new debts, the mountain collar will have to be dragged down.

Had it not been for the misappropriation of funds for the development of the swamps, the mountain territories would have gone bankrupt. The misappropriated funds must be returned in the end.

At the very least, it must not affect the development of the swamp project. Otherwise, if Bear Stearns finds out the problem, his credibility will be ruined.

You can't do anything to catch fish.

There is no borrowing money, and there is no borrowing of materials. Including the wages of hired labor, which were covered by iron products that had not yet been smelted.

Not only did these have to be covered with iron products, but even the materials collected from the nobles, Hudson was prepared to keep some of them for his own use, and then use the iron products to fill the hole.

Don't look at how many of these nobles cry poorly, in fact, they still have some family backgrounds. It may not be able to bear the pressure of providing money and food for a long time, but it will definitely not go bankrupt in a short time.

In troubled times, everyone knows such a simple truth. If you don't force it, you will never know how much of the real family of these nobles is.

It is not the first time that money and food have been raised for the front. Similar incidents have occurred dozens of times over the past few hundred years.

Experienced aristocrats will take out a sum of money and grain every year to store it as an emergency fund. These are all family heritage, as long as there are no losers in the family, the accumulation of ancestors is enough to tide over the difficulties.

In addition to those families who have suffered heavy losses in the Skull Guild rebellion, other local nobles can turn to the family for help.

Increasing training time is even more nonsense. Military training is very physically demanding, and it is simply impossible to meet the demand without meat.

If it were changed to a three-day exercise according to the Sith's proposal, the food expenses would have consumed almost all their wages, and the nobles would not have worked in vain.

Hudson didn't need to speak, and it was unanimously vetoed. The 10-day drill ensures basic training, and only a small number of soldiers need to be trained on weekdays.

It has really reached the point of national recruitment, and the Alpha Kingdom has also reached the end of the mountain. Sending a large number of serfs to the battlefield was only a matter of delaying time.

A discordant vignette that did not affect the final outcome of the meeting.

For the nobles of Laite County, renting out labor during the off-season can not only reduce the food consumption of the territory, but also make up for the financial deficit of the territory.

Why refuse a good thing that kills two birds with one stone? As for whether Hudson made more money, that's not something for the little people to worry about.

No one would make a stupid choice to offend their own boss at this time. If you don't handle the relationship well, it's too late to cry on the battlefield.

……

It was difficult for the nobles to have secrets among themselves, and the changes that happened in Lyte County soon spread out. It has become a talking point after dinner.

The nobles in other regions don't care, this is the first time to collect money and grain, and everyone's pockets can fully bear it, and there is not much pressure for the time being.

The nobility of Wyton County is different. As the unlucky two-county group, everyone was plagued by the Skull Society together, suffered internal coaxing together, suffered locust plagues together, and now they are licking their wounds together to raise money and food for the front line.

The nobility of Lyttshire could not bear the pressure, and the situation in Wyton County was not much different. Seeing Hudson helping the younger brothers solve their problems, everyone's eyes were hot.

Soon the pressure was transmitted to Viscount Cayo. There are constantly aristocrats who come to the door to cry poor and ask him, the boss, to find a way to solve the problem.

"Fubo, in the past, in the face of this situation, how did the county guards everywhere solve it?"

Viscount Cayo asked with concern.

Don't panic when you encounter something, learn from the experience of your predecessors first, and then make a decision slowly.

In the past few hundred years, accidents have basically happened. The successful coping plan of the predecessors is the best reference.

"Young Master, special circumstances like Wyton County have rarely happened in the past. It is rare for all natural and man-made disasters to come together.

Most of the time, even if there is a rebellion, the loss of the county will not be too great. The rebels occupied the two counties for the first time since the establishment of the southeastern province.

In the early stage of raising supplies, the noble lords below were able to support it. Only in the later stage will there be a lack of financial resources, and the county guard will need to lend them some money for emergencies.

The worst year was the outbreak of floods during the war, and the counties of the southeastern provinces suffered heavy losses, and could not afford to raise supplies for the kingdom.

In the end, the nobles led by the family purchased a batch of materials from overseas and completed the mission of the kingdom.

As now, before the war broke out, there were problems with the finances of the aristocracy. Generally, it only appears in the nobles who are in the middle of the family, and everyone usually lets it go. ”

The old butler said proudly.

That decisive emergency response made the Dalton family show off. To this day, it has been talked about.

After suffering a loss, everyone has developed a good habit of storing grain. The Dalton family, in particular, has set up its own emergency supplies reserve warehouse, which is basically full in normal times.

Everyone is preparing in advance, and those who do not prepare in advance, or who are not fully prepared, have naturally become the target of exclusion and criticism.

Whoever has a loser, he only knows pleasure on weekdays, and he doesn't know how to accumulate his family wealth in advance. It is also a logical thing to leave it to its own devices.

But not now, this time the situation is special. It's not because you're a loser that you're in trouble.

Natural disasters and man-made disasters are rushed together, and the family background of the little nobles is not thick, and they can't withstand such a toss. Money and food are expensive, and it makes sense.

The world of aristocrats, in addition to the naked and cruel reality, also has to talk about human feelings.

What's more, there is a next-door neighbor who actively deals with the contrast. If you completely let it go and can't bear the pressure, the little brothers may have to jump ship and follow Hudson.

Viscount Sith is a foreign product, and it is reasonable to be elevated, if he, the head snake, is followed by the elevation, the face of the Dalton family will be pulled to the ground and rubbed.

It was precisely because of the reaction of the Dalton family that Hudson's tentacles stayed in Lyttshire, and did not extend his claws to Wytonshire.

If he can't stabilize the basic market by himself, and the younger brothers take the initiative to run over to take refuge, then it's another way of saying.

"Fu Bo, send a message to the family and borrow a few people who can train soldiers. Inform the nobles in the county and ask them to organize young people to come over for training.

If the nobles who participated in the training camp could not complete the tasks set by the kingdom, the county guard could lend them money and grain, and the interest would be charged a symbolic amount of 10% per year. ”

Viscount Cayo said calmly.

In Aslant Continent, a loan with an annual interest rate of 10% is a charity. Especially in this period of war, which is full of uncertainty, it is the conscience of the aristocracy.

In order for everyone to send the young man over for unified training, Viscount Cayo also made a bloody investment.

It's all rolled out. Cayo, who doesn't want to be left behind Hudson all the time and wants to make achievements, must win over the nobles of the county.

It's not enough to just pull people over, when it comes to the battlefield, everyone is no longer fighting for political means, but for the achievements of killing with a knife and a shot.

Cailliaud was self-aware, and knew very well that he would not be Hudson's opponent when it came to fighting with soldiers.

It is not good to fight a war with soldiers, it is not equal to the battle record. After all, war is all about strength, and as long as a combatant soldier is trained, the situation becomes completely different.

The Dalton family, who own the port and control the sea lanes of the southeastern province and neighboring countries, will not be short of supplies.

Helping the nobles in the county advance supplies is nothing more than a matter of two more trips for the Dalton family. These investments are to be returned anyway, and they will not be directly wasted.

In exchange for a combatable soldier to take military merit on the battlefield for himself, Cayo felt that he did not lose at all.

This is also a conspiracy, maybe other counties can learn it, but Laite County can't do it.

Hudson will not be able to complete the tasks assigned by the Kingdom of Light without putting labor into territorial development and desperately expanding steel production capacity.

It is far easier to achieve results with a well-trained army than with a rabble.

"Young master, the young and strong people in the county are all gathered, even if the grain and grass are shared by everyone, the training ground needed is not small.

There are a large number of undeveloped hills in the mountainous territory, except for a few trees that are shrubs and weeds, and it is natural that you will not feel distressed when you take them out as a training ground.

The First Cause of All Worlds

Deciduous Towns are all cooked land, and if a large area is set aside as a training ground, it will inevitably affect the production of grain in the territory. ”

The old butler cautioned.

Although Wyton County is slightly smaller than Lyte County, the number of young and strong people owned by the nobles is not a small number.

The training ground of tens of thousands of horses is not something that the small military camp in Fallen Leaf Town can accommodate, and it is bound to occupy a large amount of farmland.

"Got it, do as I tell you to. The temporary occupation of some farmland is nothing compared to the gains that may be made on the battlefield. ”

Viscount Cayo said without changing his face.

He will not regret the decision he makes. Having a combatable soldier will not only increase his survival rate on the battlefield, but also greatly improve his status in the army in the future.

If it cooperates well with the family, it will not be possible for the Dalton family to take another small step forward this time.

Although in essence, the duke, the marquis, and the uncle are all princes of one side, and the power they have is almost the same.

The strong fiefdom earl has even more power to speak than some declining dukes. But in terms of title, it's still so short.

Small problems on the title, Viscount Cayo doesn't care. can enhance the strength of the family, he is still very interested.

Enough military merit + strong strength, and then happen to catch up with the good time of the big reshuffle, no matter how you look at it, it is a good opportunity to take a step forward.

……

It's not just Viscount Cayo who rolls up like crazy. The counties of the southeastern provinces, or the nobles in the kingdom who can participate in the game, are desperately expanding their force.

Of course, it was only a handful of young optimists who wanted to reap the fruits of the post-war victory. The elderly nobles do not have so many illusions, and the enhancement of military strength is purely for self-preservation.

Only by winning the war against the orcs can we have a future; Losing this battle of national fortunes, the fate that awaits them is the ruin of the country and the death of the family.

The bigger the person, the more aware of the power of the Orc Empire. Confidence in the war is also becoming less and less.

If it weren't for the lack of choice, it was estimated that there was no big force in the Alpha Kingdom that wanted to fight the orc army to the end.

Watching the neighbors explode one after another, Hudson's hanging heart slowly fell.

If you are not afraid that the enemy is strong, you are afraid that your teammates will collapse.

Now that his teammates are actively preparing for the battle, they are not slacking off because the call-up order has not reached their heads, which is definitely a good thing for the Alpha Kingdom.

They are all grasshoppers on a rope, and the more powerful the teammates, the greater the probability that the kingdom will win this war, and it will be able to delay time if it is not won.

did not blindly join the crazy training tide, and the mountain collar was still operating in an orderly manner. Hudson is not afraid of being sprayed with inaction, and increasing the production capacity of the military industry is also contributing to the kingdom.

Set a small goal to increase the territory's raw iron production capacity to 500 tons/month within three months, and to 1,000 tons/month within half a year.

Although it is not even the level of the small workshop iron factory in the previous life, this number is already one of the best in the Aslant continent.

Even many small countries, with all their steel production capacity combined, do not reach this figure.

"Tom, the problem of mine production is up to you.

These hired workers can be arranged to go to mining or to forge, but the most critical smelting link can only be controlled by our people.

The smelter should be on strict alert and all outsiders should not be allowed to approach. If you find a suspicious person, you will catch it first. ”

Concealing it for a while, Hudson's own blast furnace ironmaking technology, Hudson didn't want to spread all over the world so quickly.

In the traditional smelting mode, one furnace produces 180 pounds of iron, and can produce two or three hundred pounds, which are all master craftsmen.

But the largest blast furnace in the mountain territory can produce more than a ton of iron in one furnace.

Not only is the production capacity high, but the quality of the raw iron produced is also better.

Although it is not as good as the legendary magic iron-making furnace, the cost of the two production is not at the same level at all. One uses magic crystals as energy, and the other uses charcoal and coal, which cannot be compared at all.

In contrast, the other secrets of the territory, even if they were placed in front of the serfs, would not attract their attention.

For example, swamp brand fertilizer is no longer used in the busy farming season, but in the name of increasing the soil thickness of the newly reclaimed wasteland, while spreading the wasteland into the ground.

It's all in one county, which is equivalent to working at home. In the busy farming season, everyone has to go back to their respective homes, and they have no chance to get in touch with the agricultural production in the mountainous areas.

In normal times, it was also a designated area to work, and it was difficult for foreign serfs and local serfs to have the opportunity to get close to each other.

I ran into it occasionally, and everyone was not familiar with it. Say hello, it's all warm, and I'm afraid I won't say a word more.

"Master, the production in the mining area is well arranged. The biggest problem in the realm right now is the rapid increase in food consumption.

Tens of thousands of mouths have increased all of a sudden, and we have previously stockpiled fairly rich grain, but now we can barely support it until the spring grain is put into storage.

According to the original plan, the grain produced in the territory from next year will be able to meet eighty percent of consumption, and only a small amount can be bought to fill the hole.

Now the situation has changed, and the food shortage has increased instead of decreasing. In normal times, it is just that, as long as you have money, you can always buy it.

At this time, unless you come forward in person, sir, even if we can pay a high price, we may not be able to purchase enough food. ”
