Xu Kuang chuckled:

"Really? Isn't Master Parker going to stay a little longer? ”。

Parker shook his head.

Xu Kuang smiled:

"It's a pity, I originally wanted to put your eldest son and second wife in Kusen Province, the second son and eldest daughter of the royal capital, the third son and youngest daughter of the Yongyao Empire, the eldest wife in Moriel City, and the third wife in Hecklin Province、...... The twenty-nine wives of the Hilai Kingdom have all taken it over together, so that your family can have a good reunion. ”。

Parker was trembling all over, he didn't expect that his details had been completely figured out by Xu Kuang, he was really panicked, especially when he was worried that his eldest wife would know that there were twenty-seven wives outside him, and that day it really collapsed.

Parker immediately showed loyalty to Xu Kuang:

"Mr. Xu Kuang, don't worry, I haven't found anything this time, I can also assure you that this matter is over, and I will try my best to cover it up for you in the Noble Management Division, you can rest assured."

Xu Kuang smiled, he patted Parker's fat face, and said to Parker:

"It's rare for Master Parker to have this heart, so I can't help but say that someone is ......."

Xu Kuang put a large box in front of Parker and said to him:

"It's all yours."

Parker opened the box, and it was full of glittering gold coins.

"This ...... How much? ”。

Xu Kuang smiled:

"Not much, just more than 200,000."

Parker immediately stood beside Xu Kuang and said to Xu Kuang quite doggedly:

"What does Baron Xu Kuang want to do?".

Xu Kuang smiled and asked:

"You're the deputy director of the aristocratic management department, it's okay for me to insert a few people into it, right?"

Parker's face was bitter, but he nodded heavily at the thought of the box of gold coins.

Xu Kuang asked again:

"I would like to ask if there is any other way to improve my title besides improving my strength?"

Parker thought for a moment and said to Xu Kuang:

"There really is one, the business of Birch Province has been so good recently that a group of robbers have appeared near Kore City, they do all kinds of evil, the Marquis and Viscount of Kore Province have a headache about this, if you can eliminate this gang of robbers, I will definitely be able to promote you to Viscount if I operate again."

Xu Kuang nodded, he pinched Parker's fat face, and said to Parker:

"The tribute for the tribute is ready, take the tribute and go, I won't keep you any longer, and Baron Wayne of Hulu Town is my uncle, you understand......."

Parker immediately expressed his determination to Xu Kuang:

"Rest assured, they only need to hand in the most inferior property."

Xu Kuang smiled:

"Sensible."

Parker eventually left, and when he left, Parker looked at the bustling Mushroom Ridge, but he didn't look back.

Xu Kuangmu saw Parker leave, and he said to Guo Zan:

"I know that Mr. is a celebrity and is not willing to do this kind of pickled thing, I don't force you, I just ask you to make Mushroom Ridge not lose his demeanor in front of outsiders."

Xu Kuang intends to form an intelligence network, but he just doesn't know who to let pick this head.

Xu Kuang returned to the Mushroom Ridge government and immediately came to the telegraph room, he walked into the innermost room and said to the telegraph operator inside:

"Send a telegram to the commissioners on the front lines of Kore City, ask them to investigate the robbers, ask them what they need."

Xu Kuang waited here, and a moment later, the commissioner of Kore City sent the information back.

Xu Kuang glanced at it and found that the other party needed to use the Wind Demon Eagle.

Xu Kuang said to the dispatcher:

"Tell them that the Wind Demon Eagle is already on its way, and tell them to investigate carefully and not be exposed."

……

Parker was gone, and the big ship carrying grain, wood and stone also came down the river to Mushroom Ridge.

Wren can really live a fat year, Xu Kuang heard that Wren married a few more concubines, how many are specific, Xu Kuang doesn't know.

Xu Kuang has been in Mushroom Ridge for one year, and he is determined to hold an annual summary meeting, which will be set for the last few days of the year.

In the past few days, Mushroom Ridge has been busy, all departments are almost overloaded, the Department of Agriculture is rushing to plant winter wheat, the Department of Commerce is frantically transporting and receiving goods before the Pearl River freezes, the people of the Department of Taxation are conducting annual tax statistics and tax clearances, and those merchants are taking advantage of the fact that the Pearl River has not yet frozen, and hurriedly transported some goods to Mushroom Ridge.

The army has started winter training.

Xu Kuang, on the other hand, returned to the research institute and continued to guide researchers in the research and development of a new generation of weapons.

Xu Kuang understands that weapon research and development cannot be relied on alone, and if he only relies on himself, then he will be exhausted.

Any kind of firearm, or any kind of industrial item, is not developed by a single person independently, behind every item may be an excellent scientific research team, of course, the possibility of independently researching a certain item is not non-existent, but it is rare.

The alchemy priests in the laboratory made rapid progress, which made Xu Kuang quite happy and raised their treatment again.

Now there are only three places in Mushroom Ridge that burn the most money, the military camp, the construction site, and the research institute, every time Jenny wants Xu Kuang to reduce the budget, Xu Kuang blocks it back, which makes Jenny annoyed when she sees Xu Kuang now.

Xu Kuang could only smile bitterly, in his opinion, those expenses were very necessary.

One day, Hathaway found Xu Kuang, and she said to Xu Kuang:

"I might be going home for the New Year.".

Xu Kuang asked in amazement:

"Why?".

Hathaway said to Xu Kuang:

"I can't leave my father in the territory, I haven't been home for almost a year."

Xu Kuang was suddenly a little embarrassed, he took out a red envelope and said to Hathaway:

"Happy New Year.".

Hathaway looked at Xu Kuang in amazement and asked:

"What is this?".

Xu Kuang said with a smile:

"I'll see it when I get home."

Hathaway immediately put the red envelope into her storage ring, but found that she couldn't put it in.

Hathaway's eyes widened and she asked:

"You guy carved a space circle on paper? How high can your alchemy attainments be now? ”。

Xu Kuang smiled:

"Actually, it's not that high, but after understanding the principle, it's a lot easier to operate."

Hathaway was speechless.

Ten days later, Hathaway left Mushroom Ridge with a convoy, and Xu Kuang rode a horse all the way to Hulu Town's territory.

Hathaway asked:

"Why don't you come to my house and sit down?".

Xu Kuang smiled:

"No, there's a lot more to Mushroom Ridge."

The two men looked at each other, then quickly retracted their gaze.

It was much later that they understood what the reaction was at this moment.

……

Xu Kuang returned to Mushroom Ridge, and the statistics of the Department of Agriculture were most present on Xu Kuang's desk.

The Department of Agriculture has earned nearly 40,000 tons of grain this year, which is within Xu Kuang's expectations, but 40,000 tons of grain will not solve anything, and it is far from enough, even for the winter.

Xu Kuang plans to plan well next year to see where farmland is and where is the commercial area, and he is not prepared to occupy too much space for business.
