Looking at the convoy in the distance, Hudson smiled slightly. It was in vain that he came to greet him in person, and looking at the length of the team, he knew that he came with a "certificate of nomination".

After nearly two years of foreshadowing, just digging one person, there is no need to go to such a great length. A smart person knows what to do next with a hint.

The royal family has never lacked followers, and every year, countless children of the nobles who have just come of age leave their homes to bid farewell to their parents and go out to seek opportunities.

In particular, the male lord of Caesar III was more attractive to talents. With the influx of noble children one after another, the talent pool of the royal family has already reached a terrifying number.

Anything that is in surplus becomes worthless. Many people are nominally followers of the king, but in reality they are doormen.

To put it simply: the royal family does not have enough jobs for them, but they are provided with simple food and lodging.

When there is something to do, they will go to help out, and when they are done, they can get a reward from the royal family.

If you perform well, you can take advantage of the situation to serve under the royal family. After working hard and accumulating enough credit, you will have the opportunity to obtain a knighthood and even a fief.

Generally speaking, most of the people who can stand out from it are powerful knights. War is their road to fame and wealth.

Grass-roots civilian posts are too replaceable, and they have long been divided up by the royal side branches and the children of the retainers.

High-level civil officials have high requirements for talent, but they have higher requirements for loyalty, and they are not core personnel.

José was one of the lucky ones, first entering the royal ranks by virtue of his own force, and then standing out with his outstanding military command ability to become a court count.

It's just a kick away from entering the core team. It's a pity that in a test at a critical moment, Jose's luck ran out and he was directly beaten back to his original form.

For the purpose of winning people's hearts, the material treatment has not been reduced, but the status has plummeted.

The decline in status is not without benefits, then the attention is low. Including Caesar IV's succession to the throne, when the royal retainers swore allegiance, they ignored him.

As for why José was ignored, Caesar IV's indifference to him was half the reason, and the other half was that Lord Hudson threw money at it.

"Whoever makes the king hate, does not appear before the king." The king was satisfied, and the people who received the money were at ease, and those who spent the money did their work, and everyone took what he needed.

In Aslanth, without a formal oath of allegiance, there was no monarchical relationship between the two sides, and there was no obligation to Caesar IV.

There is no obligation to bind Jose, as a free man, to accept Hudson's invitation with peace of mind, otherwise this behavior is "betrayal".

If nothing else, the gang that came with Jose is also free men.

Fortunately, Hudson's name was loud enough, otherwise he would not have been able to fool so many people in a remote corner like the Mountain Collar.

After a simple greeting, it was a grand welcome banquet. The high-level people in the territory have all come here, which can be said to have given enough face.

……

"Lord Earl, this is the list of the team, and their background, character, character, and ability are also noted later.

Due to the tight schedule, this information is not very comprehensive, and some of the information may even have errors, so it can only be used for reference. ”

As he spoke, José had already handed over a thick parchment, and it was clear that it had worked hard.

As for the fact that accuracy cannot be fully guaranteed, it is a given. Origin, ability, and personality can all be found, but character is very magical.

In Hudson's view, with the exception of some extremists, most people are just ordinary people, and they cannot be described simply as good or bad.

Anyway, what he wants to use is talent, not a moral saint. It is enough to be able to follow orders, carry out tasks, and not do things on weekdays.

"Good work, Mr. José. With the help of Mr., the future of my mountain collar will inevitably be more brilliant! ”

Hudson said with a sincere face. As for the parchment book in his hand, he didn't even look through it.

People are sophisticated, and they are indispensable everywhere. If you dig people in, it doesn't mean that people's hearts have also come. The more talented, the harder it is to recover.

Jose chose to jump ship at this time, in fact, he was forced to do so. Caesar IV's ignorance made his life very sad.

Hudson's poaching operation made it even worse for him. Not only did he use his hands and feet during the oath of allegiance ceremony to erase his name, but even the materials issued to him by the royal family were getting less and less month by month.

His intuition told him that if he didn't make a choice, he was afraid that it would not be long before the royal estate where he lived would be taken back.

People live with a face, and Jose also wants face. If someone drags his family and leads his mouth, if he is kicked out, how can he gain a foothold?

There are many nobles in the kingdom who have extended olive branches to him, but Hudson is the most sincere.

To develop in the mountain territory, he can directly enter the inner circle; defecting to other big nobles, you still have to struggle on the periphery, and you may even be suspected of being a spy planted by the royal family.

"The Earl has won the award, and the development of the mountain territory is obvious to all. Throughout the history of the human race, there are very few territories that can develop at a speed comparable to mountain territories.

And there are various special reasons behind the rapid development of these territories, but the mountain territory is a real self-made man.

In particular, the largesse of developing the swamp is even more breathtaking. His Excellency the Earl's ability to govern the place is unparalleled in the ...... of the present day."

A series of sycophants were filmed, and Hudson knew that Jose had grown. If he had been so good at sycophants during the expedition to the Duchy of Moxi, I am afraid that his relationship with Caesar IV would not have been so bad.

As long as the relationship is good, everything is not a problem. Even if you can't persuade the crown prince at that time, you will be fished out if you carry the black cauldron. No matter how miserable it is, it won't even have a title.

"Mr. José, there is no need to talk about this between us. Now everyone is their own person, and if there is anything, just say it.

I invited him to join me to help me refine my strategic plan and fill in the gaps in the implementation process.

Probably the gentleman doesn't know that the kingdom is about to face a big problem - a debt crisis may be about to erupt! ”

Hearing this shocking news, José's face changed dramatically in an instant, but he quickly eased up. Hudson's look of determination was so reassuring.

"Your Excellency, but you already have a plan to deal with it?"

Jose asked expectantly.

Rao couldn't figure out why his lord could be so determined when the kingdom's credibility was on the verge of collapse.

This was caused by the asymmetry of information between the two sides, and Hudson was inconvenient to say about the Principality of Moxie.

Judging from the limited information, as long as a bond run breaks out, the credibility of the Alpha Kingdom, which is unable to make payments, will surely collapse.

Who gives creditors the upper hand in previous debt relationships?

In times of war, begging people to buy bonds inevitably leads to special terms that benefit creditors.

According to the agreement: in the event of force majeure and everyone believes that there is a problem with the kingdom's ability to repay, the creditors have the right to request an early exchange.

Originally, this article was prepared for the big nobles, in case the money really can't be paid in the future, they can jump out of the car in advance with the information difference.

It's just that Hudson's operation later made them suddenly realize that they could also sell the bonds in their hands at a higher price, so that the profits could be in their pockets in advance.

After a series of tosses, there is the current situation.

"Whether or not the Kingdom's credibility will collapse depends primarily on faith. As long as we maintain our faith in the Kingdom, we will be able to weather this storm.

To ensure that everyone's confidence in the kingdom is maintained, as long as the Principality of Moxie, which is in a worse financial situation, can survive the crisis, then nothing will be a problem.

As far as I know, the Duchy of Mossi has taken emergency precautions. On the one hand, the domestic aristocracy was mobilized to tide over the difficulties, and on the other hand, representatives were sent to conduct urgent consultations with the creditors.

In order to preserve the credibility of the kingdom, I also did something to help. Not only did they not pay the bonds in advance, but they also helped them convince the nobles in the expeditionary force.

Creditors in other places were also appeased by them. It may not be long before news spreads that the Principality of Mossi has survived its debt crisis.

The Moses were able to make it through, let alone the kingdom. Although the nobles in the country did not follow suit and demanded that the kingdom pay the bonds in advance, the current bond prices in the market still collapsed.

It is said that there are already bonds with a 20% discount in the market, and if the panic continues to ferment, bonds with 7%, 6, 5% or even lower may appear.

There is no need to let go of the opportunity to make a fortune delivered to the door. I have prepared two million gold coins for this project.

There are not many people in the realm who can take the lead, and I hope that Mr. José will be able to take on the task of buying the high-yield bonds that the kingdom has issued at the lowest possible price.

When the crisis is over, wait for an opportunity to sell these bonds. My requirements are not high, and I will raise the funds needed for the construction of ports and shipyards.

I almost forgot that the Berkshire shipyard was already mine. Now wait for the completion of the construction of the dock and carry out the relocation.

Sailors and boatmen are ready, and the territory's artificial canal to the sea is open this month, and it will take some time to get involved in the maritime trade, but a little fishing is not a problem. ”

It's not that he deliberately showed off and showed off part of his family background, mainly to make the hearts of An's younger brothers.

Just by looking at Jose's incredulous expression, Hudson knew his plan had succeeded.

"Don't worry, Lord Earl, I will take care of this matter. However, the amount of money involved is too large, and you will need to send some people to help me complete it.

To acquire so many bonds at one time, it is too eye-catching to carry out in the southeastern provinces alone, and it must be implemented in multiple places.

In this way, security is also a big issue. Guards are definitely indispensable, and it is best to have a master to assist. ”

José made a direct request.

Hudson's family background was much thicker than he expected. Whether it is the control of the younger brother, or the financial, material, and human resources revealed, they all far exceed expectations.

Originally, I thought that this time I would come over and farm with peace of mind for more than ten years. However, judging from the current situation, it seems that this quiet period will be greatly shortened.

"I'll let Kane be your assistant, and you can choose the rest from the people you bring with you, and I'll let Tom arrange the guards, and Bear Stearns will protect you in the dark.

However, most of the people in the territory have appeared on the battlefield, and it is easy to reveal their identities. If possible, it is better not to personally come forward to buy it from the nobility.

When I was in the Prairie, I worked with a lot of chambers of commerce. Connections are also available, you go and get in touch with them, and if the price can be negotiated, you can also borrow the road this time. ”

Hudson said with a smile.

The overseer must have sent it, and two million gold coins are not two hundred gold coins, no matter how much he believes in any plug, he will not test human nature at such a time.

However, it is not the cronies on the surface who are really responsible for oversight, but Bear Stearns who is hidden in the shadows.

There is no way, as long as the stakes are big enough, it is too easy to buy the loyalty of the person. In comparison, it is still Warcraft that is more reliable.

"Lord Earl, in fact, you can also pull a few big nobles to build momentum and call on the nobles in the country to invest in the purchase of bonds together.

Not only have we gained political prestige, but we will also be able to act secretly under the cover of acquisitions on the surface.

Even if it is not done properly and someone finds out halfway, we can also play the banner of protecting the disk for the kingdom. ”

José's proposal made Hudson's heart happy. As it turned out, this man really didn't dig in vain.

Doing things in the royal family is different, and this political consciousness is not what his subordinates have.

Even if they are the best of the best, the best of the best who finally enter the top of the territory still only stare at their own one-third of an acre of land in their political vision.

"Well, that's it. You pick your people first, and then you take action when the political campaign is complete.

Calculate the days, and it is estimated that in a few days, the kingdom will ask us local nobles for advice, and I will bring it up when the time comes. ”
