king.

After a brief exchange, Hudson's reserve of common sense about magic was steadily increasing.As for the experience of the magicians in domesticating magic pets, it was directly ignored by Hudson.

Conquering monsters with strength, conquering the hearts of monsters with strength, is that something that humans can do?

If it was really a match against the Bears, ten Hudsons would not be enough for Bear Stearns.A casual slap would make this little knight get down on the ground.

No wonder there are very few people who can obtain magic pets. It's no wonder that such a primitive capture method is so efficient.

Not being killed by a monster is a testimony of strength.In order to increase the odds of winning, it is best to find a Warcraft cub to challenge.If you are unlucky and happen to meet their parents, it will be a tragedy.

Facing Melissa's envious eyes, Hudson could only express his helplessness.

Not everyone can meet a bear that has been "fed and hungry" since birth.It's hard to make an arrogant Warcraft bow down for food without going hungry for several years.

During the whole banquet, the two communicated together, which made Hudson fail to do any serious business.

From Arbor County to the Academy of Magic, from the southeastern province to the continent of Aslante, Hudson admired himself for being able to handle the wide range of topics and the divergence of thinking.

Under the envious and jealous eyes of the nobles, Hudson spent a not-so-good night.

Although the beauty is good, it is not so easy to win.Unlike the ordinary noble lady who lived in her hometown and traveled only a hundred miles away, Melissa had seen the world.

Perhaps in the southeastern province, Hudson belongs to the best wave, but looking at the entire Alpha Kingdom, it can only be regarded as not bad.

The most eye-catching ones are always the children of the big family. Melissa has a brain without following the moths to the flame.

It is a good thing to have a brain, but unfortunately, the smarter a person is, the more he knows how to weigh the pros and cons, and the correspondingly, the harder it is to be emotional.

Others only saw the two having a happy conversation, but Hudson knew very well that the two were at most ordinary friends now.

Just like in the process of a blind date, everyone thinks that each other's conditions are good in all aspects, and they can continue to understand each other in depth.

With the end of the banquet, the matter came to an end temporarily, and the window paper was not pierced after all.

The parties do not object, it is only one of the foundations of the family marriage.In the follow-up matter, the two families have to weigh the pros and cons of various aspects.

The duration of this period ranges from three to five months to two or three years.

Before the two parties reach an agreement, this kind of thing will not be discussed outside.

Everything was flat, as if nothing happened.However, Hudson's business in Arbor County is still much more convenient.Obviously, this is Viscount Oran's kindness.

In less than three days, Hudson finalized all the deals.

“一千九百户农奴，男女老幼共计九千840五人，牛520三头、驽马870四匹、羊两千340五只、各类粮食共计130万磅……”

The above is all the harvest.As a price, Hudson not only paid all the goods, but also owed the local nobles thirty-four thousand five hundred and seventy-six gold coins.

Proper debt piled up.It's just that Hudson at this moment can't see the slightest panic, but appears extremely calm and calm.

Not all debts have to be repaid with gold coins, and other equivalent commodities can also be traded.

Although Master Hudson's products still continue to have high negative reviews in the past, it still does not affect the sales of the products.

In an era when the cost-effectiveness of alternative products is extremely low, the products only need to be practical.The nitpicking of details can be completely ignored.

A debt of more than 4000 gold coins has been added. Looking at it from another perspective, isn't this an increase in a huge order?

Originally, the nobles were used to buying pig iron by themselves to make farm tools and daily necessities.Driven by debt, now everyone can accept the finished product offered by Hudson.

Although I paid a little discount, everything is worth it compared to taking the payment in advance.

The problem facing Hudson now is: how to transport these people and materials back.

The local nobles are willing to take out these things to trade, in addition to the pre-agreed conditions, a large part of the reason is that the local population is overpopulated.

This kind of situation will appear as long as the territory is peaceful for 80 or [-] years.The way the lords dealt with it was also very rough and simple.

Directly enforce a certain period of time: men and women are not allowed to marry, and couples are not allowed to have intercourse.

Births stagnate for a time, and within a few years the excess population will soon be balanced again.

In fact, the lords are not only in charge of these.Some warm-hearted lords also formulated a birth schedule, clearly stipulating the time when couples have intercourse.

Through human intervention, control the pregnancy time of the citizens, so that the birth of children can avoid the busy farming season and the cold winter, so as to improve the safety of women's childbirth.

There are many similar strange decrees.In this crazy world, only noble lords can't think of it, and there is no lord who can't do it.

In this regard, Baron Hudson, who lacks a population, can only be envious.Not to mention restricting births, if the supporting infrastructure could not keep up, he would have enacted laws to encourage births.

The failure to exchange for more population was not because these lords were unwilling to trade, but mainly because Baron Hudson, who had become poor again, did not have enough funds to compensate other lords.

The credit is not unlimited. With the title of "Knight of the Bow" and "Merchant of Inferior Weapons and Arms", it is only worth this price in everyone's mind.

If it exceeds people's expectations, everyone has to worry about his repayment ability.Even if there is a mine at home, it can't dispel everyone's worries.

After a few days of delay, the huge team was finally organized.The cows and horses that were traded were all harnessed to carts, not only to pull food, but also to carry children and pregnant women with disabilities on the road.

In order to reduce the attrition on the road, the benevolent Master Hudson spent a lot of money to hire three priests and more than a dozen priest apprentices to accompany him.

Although compared with a team of [-] people, a medical team of this size is completely a drop in the bucket, but Hudson has really tried his best.

It's only about four hundred miles away. If you still can't handle it, you can only be the survival of the fittest by nature.

The original mercenary guards have now passively transformed into team managers.Hudson can fully understand the endless resentment deep in the hearts of the knights, but gold coins have not been easy to earn since ancient times.

As the saying goes, "high price" must have pitfalls. How can you do it without doing more work after taking the high employment fee from Master Hudson?

Facts have proved that this trick is very effective.Under the eyes of the noble lord, all the serfs behaved extraordinarily well-behaved.

Even though countless of them do not want to leave their hometown.However, in front of the nobles, no matter how many complaints they have in their hearts, they dare not express it.

There was nothing Hudson could do about it. In order to boost morale, he even slaughtered [-] sheep at one go, plus a wild deer he hunted by chance, so that everyone could have a good meal.

Not only that, in order to reduce unnecessary attrition, Hudson also spent a lot of money to purchase warm clothes for everyone, and even put shoes on everyone's feet.

The logistics support along the way is also to send people to contact the nobles who have made good friends early, so as to ensure that they can eat hot meals when they arrive at the place.

As for the house, it can only be resigned.With a team of tens of thousands of people, not every noble family is capable of arranging accommodation.

But just taking care of the old and the young is still barely able to do it.As for the others, naturally they could only make do with sleeping around a bonfire.

After all preparations were in place, the team slowly embarked on the journey.Traveling 25 miles a day is already the limit of the team's speed.

If it weren't for the good logistics support along the way, it may not be possible to travel fifteen miles a day.

Riding a war horse, holding the sleeping bear cub in his arms, Hudson couldn't help complaining secretly: This damn winter is really frustrating...

……

Almost at the same time, groups of ragged orc slaves in the northern border were driving southward with whips.

Kobolds, piggies, ratmen, catmen, tauren, goblins... hundreds of orc races all appeared in the team.

The tauren, leopard, and boar with a little combat power... were shackled on their hands and feet, and often dozens of people were connected in series, making it difficult to escape.

With so many orc slaves heading south, it's hard not to draw attention.If it weren't for those powerful races, their hands and feet were shackled, and it is estimated that the guards along the way would not dare to let them go.

"Captain, escort these tauren, leopard, and wild boar... to the south, and you can sell them to the Colosseums in the south, and you can earn a fortune.

But ratmen, piggies, goblins... What's the use of sending these rubbish things? "

"What's that piggy looking at? It's just you trash, why are you still not convinced?

The same ancestor, although the wild boar man's brain is not very good, at least his strength is good.

It's not like you lazy guys who eat and sleep all day long, even uncivilized pigs are more diligent than you! "

While speaking, the soldier's whip had already been whipped up.The unlucky Pig who just glanced at it was instantly screamed.

"Okay, Alicias. You have killed three slaves along the way, and we won't be able to do business if this continues."

That's what he said, but it can be seen from the contemptuous eyes of the middle-aged officer that he didn't care about the life and death of these slaves.

In the Northland, no one cares about slaves like Pig, even if they are only sold for one silver coin.For worthless goods, life and death are naturally unimportant.

"Captain, you can't blame me for this. The bodies of these rubbish are too weak, and they can fall down when the wind blows. I didn't even use my strength, and they died.

With their bodies and bones, it is estimated that if they can't reach the southeast province, half of them will fall down.If you are worried about their life and death, then you have something to worry about. "

Alicias said gloatingly.

"Knowing that they are weak, you bastard can still laugh. You know, these slaves were sent to Master Sith by the order of the Grand Duke.

If there were too many casualties on the way, your captain and I would not be able to do the work, and you would never have a good life. "

The middle-aged officer said with a depressed face.

He called him Master Sith, but deep down he never regarded Baron Sith as a master.Failure to obtain the surname of the Felix family meant that the gold content of the word "Master" was doomed to be greatly reduced.

If it weren't for Grand Duke Kavadia's order, he would not be willing to undertake the drudgery of escorting slaves.

"Captain, what are you afraid of? These useless trash, I guess Baron Sith is going to go there, and they can only show blood to the recruits.

With the reproduction speed of these rubbish, one or two thousand more, or one or two thousand less, can be made up quickly, which is not a big deal at all.

As long as the group of strong slaves doesn't break too much, it's not a big problem.Especially the group of rabbit girls and fox girls in the carriage...is the focus of Master Sith's attention. "

It was nothing at first, but after Alicias said it, I felt that things changed a bit.

The cautious middle-aged officer hastily reprimanded: "Shut up, Alicias, you idiot. Are you able to say these things in your capacity?

Remember, Alicias.Master Sith wanted these slaves for territory development.Even the bunny girl, fox girl, and cat girl on the carriage... are also used for communication between nobles.

For the rest, no matter who asks, you don't know anything! "

Having worked for the Felix family for generations, the middle-aged officer also knows the cruelty of some big families' infighting after hearing and seeing for a long time.

Maybe the big people above will not have any big things, but the little people involved usually will not have any good results.

There are many similar escort teams, and they all have the same destination in the southeast province.By this time, the news had already spread in the North.

Everyone knows that there is a shortage of labor in the territory of the noble children who went south.The problem of labor shortage also exists in Northland.

Because of the frequent invasion of orcs, the population of the Northland has not been able to increase.Even with the continuous support of the kingdom, it can only be maintained at a minimum balance point, and it is simply unable to support the southern territory.

Transporting orc slaves became the only option.Anyway, the southeast province is thousands of miles away, completely unaffected by the orc empire, and there is no need to worry about being disturbed by domesticating orc slaves.

As for whether orcs can become qualified farmers, no one can answer this question for a while.

After all, there are so many races of orcs, there might be one race that is suitable for farming and can be domesticated.

The truth was exposed, and many slave-hunting families were very hurt.

Watching their neighbors keep sending slaves to their southern territories, their hearts bleed.

After exhausting their minds, the slaves who ventured northward and captured from the orc empire fell into their hands.

Xuefeng leader, Viscount Rex is one of the unlucky ones.Thinking that he was being taken advantage of and wanted to collect the garbage from the orc empire, he hastily ordered the slave hunting team in his family to act.

As a result, all kinds of messy slaves arrested thousands of people, and it was suddenly discovered that there were no buyers in the market at all.

"Humph!"

"Damn Hank Cage, the slave I worked so hard to capture, he actually tried to buy it for five copper coins per person!

Isn't it just relying on having many sons to set up a territory in the south?Usually it's nothing more than a joke, but now he still wants to take advantage of the situation to rob him.

If it weren't for..."

The furious scene scared all the servants in the mansion to tremble.The lack of sons is Viscount Rex's biggest shortcoming. Although he has worked very hard, it is a pity that he still has only one seedling.

For a family, it is undoubtedly very dangerous to have the only direct heir.However, if the Lord of Dawn did not bless him, Viscount Rex could only accept his fate.

In any case, having a single seedling in the family is better than having no single seedlings and having to work for others.

This kind of self-comforting words can only be secretly thought by Viscount Rex, if other people dare to say it, it will definitely lead to big things.

Every time this issue is involved, the servants in the family retreat one after another, fearing that they will be angered and burn themselves.

The old butler who just appeared directly opposite and couldn't avoid it could only influence his scalp and persuade him: "Master, Viscount Hank Cage can't understand your kindness. If you don't want these slaves, then we won't be able to take advantage of him.

There are dozens of nobles who have opened up territories in the south, and it is impossible for all of them to collect enough slaves.Discount sale, no worries about no buyers. "

Although deep down in his heart, he understood Viscount Hank Cage's actions very well, but his identity made him have to stand on the side of his master.

"It's too late, all the teams escorting the slaves have already set off, only that idiot Hank Cage is still dawdling.

Even a waste like him has gathered enough slaves, so how can others be short? "

Viscount Rex said angrily.

Just staying a few days longer when going out to visit friends, missed the best time for slaves to get rid of them, so that thousands of slaves were completely thrown into their hands.

Even if there are occasional slave traders who express interest, they are only interested in a small number of them. More than [-]% of the slaves are free gifts that no one wants.

It's hard to sell if you mix and match.If someone picks out all the good ones, there is no need to sell them.

If it wasn't for worrying about the reputation of brutality, he would have ordered all the useless slaves in his hands to be pulled out and slaughtered, so as not to waste food.

Carnage cannot be played, and release is also impossible.Humans and beasts are incompatible, and the blood feud accumulated for countless years has already penetrated deep into the bones.

On the issue of dealing with orcs, there have long been unspoken rules among the northern nobles.It has never been heard that after the capture of orc slaves, there are still unconditional releases.

If he really releases people, at least the orcs will have to pay some ransom, so that he can be ashamed!Otherwise, he will be ridiculed for a lifetime.

It's a pity that no one paid attention to the whole process, even if he sent a letter to the orc tribe, no one came to accompany him to play this redemption scene.

"My lord, it's not an option to keep them idle. Leaving them to cultivate the land will easily lead to collusion with the orc empire, which will affect the security of the territory.

Or should we follow the example of those families and transport this group of slaves to the south to see if any nobles are interested there?

Even if it still can't be sold, at least one-third of the staff can be reduced after going back and forth like this.If it doesn't work, hire someone to rob them halfway.

As long as people are not in our hands, what happens next has nothing to do with us. "

The old housekeeper suggested helplessly.

His own master is too shameless, and he can still worry about the poor handling of the slaves in his hands.But whenever they met a ruthless nobleman, these slaves would have been dealt with long ago.
