king.

Except for the episode of unsalable slaves, the first business exchange meeting in Dadir City was a complete success.

A group of local nobles who originally thought they were going to make trouble, just used non-transaction as a means of resistance, and did not take any drastic actions.

He punched the cotton, making the Sith Baron who had prepared so painstakingly very depressed.

People's guests don't make troubles, so he, the host, can't take the initiative to provoke troubles!

Baron Sith, who couldn't understand the opponent's operation at all, could only choose to take one step at a time, and his intuition told him that the matter was endless.

"What did you say?"

"Those slaves all went to the Mountain Territory?"

Sith asked in disbelief.

"Yes, sir!

The spies we sent to keep an eye on the Mountain Territory found a large number of orc slaves there.

In the entire southeastern province, the only one with so many orc slaves was Baron Kettley. "

The old housekeeper replied in the affirmative.

"I was tricked by someone!"

This was Baron Sith's first reaction.

Immediately, he felt that something was wrong. Baron Kettley came to the door that day, looking like a broken pot, obviously planning to kill the fish and kill the net.

We are nobles, not actors.If there is a way out, that kind of despair is difficult to deduce.

If the two hadn't colluded beforehand, they had colluded together afterwards.

The reason is known without analysis—benefit.

In any case, Hudson is the most likely person in the southeastern province to buy the slaves.

Regardless of the price at which the transaction is made, it is a stop loss for Baron Kettley.

It has created an established fact, even if Sith wants to object, it is useless.

"Kately, you bastard!
How dare you play me.

I remember you, let's wait and see! "

……

The mountain leader, Master Hudson, who constantly directed his subordinates to settle slaves, became busy again.

With so many orc slaves added at once, the original territory development plan is bound to undergo major changes.

In order to manage these slaves, Hudson had to announce the expansion of an infantry regiment dedicated to monitoring the work of these guys.

The output has not been seen, but the military expenditure has risen first.Fortunately, the weapons and equipment are all self-produced, which saves a lot of expenses.

He suddenly became the nobleman with the largest army in the two counties, but Hudson still felt that he was understaffed.

If it wasn't for worrying about the rapid expansion of the troops, which would affect the combat effectiveness, he wouldn't mind forming two infantry regiments at once.

It is not necessary to resort to militarism, it is really a practical need.

Since a large number of slaves are to be used, preparations must be made to suppress the rebellion at any time, and it is absolutely impossible to have no soldiers in hand.

With the continuous expansion of business, the number of special customers who require door-to-door delivery has gradually increased.

As long as the donors are willing to add money, the demand for door-to-door delivery must be met, and it will be a matter of time before they provide armed escort services.

Reason told Hudson that there was no rush to expand the army, and it could only be completed gradually.

The most urgent task is to adjust the development plan of the territory first, or to improve the original target requirements.

First of all, the expansion of mine capacity is a must.

Regardless of whether or not the market in the north can be opened up, the goods used to pay for slaves must be produced for others.

Without any accidents, they are mainly daily necessities, pots and pans, and only a small part of agricultural tools.

The main reason is that those unscrupulous slave traders really sold these goods to the orc empire.

Daily necessities are nothing more than convenience to the orc's lifestyle at most, but it will not increase the overall national strength.

But farm tools are different. If a large number of farm tools flow into the orc empire, it can increase farming efficiency and production.

As a patriotic nobleman, Hudson still wouldn't do such an unscrupulous business.

As for whether there will be a melting pot into a sword, Hudson said generously: Although the smelting is complete, he will lose if he can produce a qualified weapon.

At least ordinary smelting methods will not work.

If you find a few alchemists, or master blacksmiths of the dwarves, then there is no guarantee.

However, such high-end talents are a minority no matter where they are.Even if high-quality weapons can be produced, they cannot be mass-produced.

In addition, Hudson expanded several commercial lines.

The blessing of Baron Tosis invited many merchants in the southeastern province to Dardir City, which just created an opportunity for Hudson.

Although on the surface he was in Dardir City, he didn't make any moves; but secretly, he didn't stop making small moves.

After a brief contact, Hudson found several partners who had certain economic strength and were willing to sell mountain collar products on an agency basis.

If Baron Sith knew the news, he would probably understand why Hudson didn't make trouble at the trade fair.

Compared with nobles, merchants are often at a disadvantage.Therefore, when looking for a partner, they always look for nobles who abide by the rules as much as possible.

In order to reassure everyone, Baron Sith chose to abide by the rules of the game knowing that he was cheated, and the same applies to Hudson.

Compared with the development of agents and the establishment of one's own business network, doing things in Dadir City is obviously not that important.

With the increase of shipping channels, the next orders will definitely increase a lot.Production capacity must be prepared in advance.

Road planning must also be arranged.

With so many coolies, it's useless.

These one-brained guys are just right for cracking rocks.I'm so exhausted every day that I don't have the energy to do things.

Developing transportation earlier will also help strengthen Master Hudson's control over the territory.

I don't know if the orc slaves can do the technical work of opening up wasteland.

If not, let them go to the swamp.

High-tech play Hudson doesn't, and doesn't need to, so much.

Play directly with the rough open channel drainage, and first remove the water that can be drained.

For water that cannot be drained, build "bamboo and wood fences" to separate rivers and cultivated land in the swamp.

Thanks to the abundant rain in the southeastern province, the salt brought by the sea was washed away.Judging from the plants growing in the swamp, the salt content in the swamp is not too high.

There is no need to worry about wasting the excavated silt. It is a good fertilizer, which is just right for the newly opened raw land.

As for doing this, how much labor is required and how much loss is required, Hudson can't take care of it all.

With more than 2 more mouths, the daily expenses of the territory almost doubled.His wallet wouldn't hold up if he didn't get something done soon.

In fact, this is the result of preparation in advance.If Hudson hadn't stored a large amount of grain in advance, he might have cried in the face of the high price of grain on the market.

It was all the fault of the orc slaves. Although the Governor's Mansion promised to provide cheap food, it was only limited to the previously registered citizens.The orc slaves who came in later could only buy food from the market.

Fortunately, the southeast province is a big producer of grain. If it is left in some impoverished places and tens of thousands of mouths pour into it when the harvest is scarce, I am afraid that even if you have money, you will not be able to buy enough grain.

Needless to say, a group of northern Xinjiang nobles were tricked a lot.Lord Ketterley had not been able to borrow enough money, not unrelated to the rise in food prices.

Fortunately, this kind of day will not last long, winter has come to an end, and the day of harvesting new grain is not far away.

When new grains are put into storage, the price of grains in the market will inevitably drop.As for how much it can drop, Hudson is not clear.

Anyway, this has nothing to do with him. Although the food in the territory is not enough, the food produced in the territory of several relatives of the family has been reserved by him early.

The price naturally follows the market price, but if you can't stand it, you can pay on credit!The foreign debt is getting more and more tiring, and Hudson is now numb.

If it is counted as the operating debt of undelivered goods, the total foreign debt of Master Hudson at this moment has exceeded the 12 mark.

Such a debt, even if it is placed in some middle-class aristocratic family, will cause scalp numbness and sleepless nights.

It is estimated that the sale of Bear Stearns can probably fill in the hole!
Of course, it is impossible to sell bears.I have never heard of contracted monsters that can be transferred.

Lord Hudson is not one to sell bears to pay off his debts.Although the foreign debt is huge, the cash flow of the Mountain Territory is still sufficient, and there are [-] to [-] gold coins lying in the treasury at any time.

Among the foreign debts of up to 12 gold coins, more than [-] gold coins are operating debts, including the "[-] gold coins" expenditure for buying orc slaves.

In addition, there is a debt of 1 gold coins, which is being continuously converted into operating debt.Those who really need to fill in real money only need more than [-] gold coins.

That's right, the last more than 1 gold coins are owed to my father, Baron Redman.Parents and sons also have to settle accounts clearly, and help can't be taken in vain.

Weapons and equipment, pots and pans, farm tools, everything that can be made up for, Hudson has made up for it.

Now my hometown is not short of anything, if there is really no refill, then I can only pay in cash.

As for when to pay it back, it depends on the finances of the Mountain Territory and when it will be rich.

As far as the funds in the account are concerned, Hudson dare not tamper with them.In case something unexpected happens one day, these are life-saving money.

It can only be said that there are too many debts, and Hudson, who owes huge debts, is also very popular in the aristocratic circle, and no one even thinks he is poor.

More than 2 citizens + more than 2 slaves, simply counting the population, have caught up with some fiefdom viscounts.

If it has been settled for a few years, the operating debts will be settled.If hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land are opened up, the foundation of a middle-class nobleman will be established.

……

"My lord, an advance payment of [-] gold coins has been entered into the account today. It is mainly a batch of agricultural tools and daily necessities sent to the three counties of Hansen, Kadar, and Warren, including a small amount of weapons.

The three agents are waiting outside, do you see..."

Before the old butler finished speaking, Hudson interrupted directly: "I won't show up. You can take care of such small things in the future."

Although it is Party B, it is also a domineering Party B who has mastered the core competitiveness.Being able to receive an advance payment and then organize production is enough to explain everything.

Coupled with the gap between the status of nobles and ticket merchants, Hudson has the capital to not show his face.

In fact, this kind of anonymity is in everyone's interest.Businessmen are profit-seeking, and they like to compare pennies and pennies, so it's just right for them to argue with the housekeeper.

If Hudson were to negotiate in person, even if the deal could be reached, everyone would feel uncomfortable.

Operating debt was mounting again, and Hudson didn't bother to do the math.According to the existing operating model, for a long period of time in the future, Mountain Land will have to operate under high debt.

The main reason is that there are too few upstream suppliers, otherwise there will be more debts.Having deeply realized the benefits of using other people's money to develop his own territory, Hudson seemed to have opened Pandora's box.

Looking at the accounts on the bamboo slips, Hudson deeply felt that the products in his territory were too single.

Everything revolves around "iron". If a few more iron mines are discovered in the southeastern province one day, his business, Mr. Hudson, may be shattered in an instant.

But if it doesn't revolve around "iron", what else can we do to make a fortune these days?
Since ancient times, "salt" and "iron" have been the most profitable in feudal dynasties, and it is pure luck to be able to share a cup of "iron".

"Salt," if Hudson dares to reach out.It is estimated that on a dark and windy night, the mountain leader was wiped out.

There is no doubt that, driven by huge profits, the Dalton family can definitely do this kind of thing.

According to gossip, salt made up half of the Dalton family's income.Anyone who dares to touch this cake will be turned upside down in minutes.

Even if some nobles are not reconciled, at most they secretly instigate a few merchants to sell private salt, and they must be careful, lest the slightest bit of information leak out.

Most of the time, the slightest sign of trouble scares them into killing people.As a result, more private salt dealers died in the hands of the mastermind behind the scenes than were wiped out by the Governor's Mansion.

As for whether these guys made any money from it, Hudson thinks no, at least they didn't make huge profits.

The reason is quite simple, salt sales are generally stable everywhere and have risen slightly over time.Once there is a decline in sales, it will immediately attract the attention of the Dalton family.

Against this background, Mo said that he wanted to make money and not be caught by others, that was the blessing of the Lord of Dawn.

If the most lucrative industry cannot be reached, it can only settle for the second best industry and choose the second-class industry-"tobacco and alcohol".

Get rid of the tobacco first, there is no stuff in Aslante mainland, even if Hudson can find tobacco leaves, he doesn't know who to sell it to.

"Wine", it must be wine.At many of the banquets Hudson attended, wine was used.

It is a pity that the Southeast Province is located in the south of the Kingdom just by its name.

There is indeed plenty of rain, but as for the light, it can only depend on luck.

In a year with little rain like this year, the sun is sufficient, and the grapes grown will look good.

But it has been a rainy year, and it would be nice to see grapes bearing fruit, so what kind of quality do you expect!
The main buyers of wine are nobles, although most of the nobles are old and rough, and cannot tell the quality of wine from bad.

But some of them "pay attention to people", but they have studied this stuff deeply and hold the right to speak in the industry.

Even if Hudson can produce it, it can only dabble in the most competitive "low-end wine".

Instead of earning some hard-earned money, it is better to produce liquor and slowly cultivate the market.

Of course, this is just imagination.Before finding users, the steady Hudson will not blindly develop products that run counter to the market.

What else can you do besides these products?
"Matches" seem to be somewhat difficult to produce.Pure manual work, just think about how high the production cost is.

Just because it is easy to use, it may be difficult to sell it at a high price.After all, noble gentlemen don’t need to live and cook by themselves, so is it important for servants to be convenient?
"Soap", a must-have product for travelers.But that smelly thing is mainly used for washing clothes.

If you want to stand out, you must change the production process and produce new products without odor.

Anyway, pure animal oil cannot be used as a raw material, otherwise the peculiar smell cannot be eliminated.It is no different from the stinky soap on the market, and Hudson doesn't think that there are huge profits in the rotten street stuff.

Vegetable oil can be substituted, it seems that you can try it.However, with the current production of vegetable oil, I am afraid that it will not be expected in the short term.

This new thing can only make a quick buck.Once the technology is deciphered by others, followers will appear soon.

Patent protection is not popular in Aslante. Even if there is patent protection, Hudson does not have the strength to fight piracy all over the mainland.

It is a fortune to make a fortune, and Hudson has decided to increase vegetable oil production.After accumulating enough raw materials, go out and make a wave of quick money.

As for the technology leak, at the very least, it will be able to occupy a place in the market by virtue of the name of the starter.

People's hearts are full of meat, and when the price is comparable, everyone still prefers to use genuine products.

Unless the quality of the original product is not as good as the pirated version, then there is nothing to say, and it deserves to be eliminated by the market.

If you really want to get involved in that, Hudson also admits it.
