Chapter 118

The dead lizards were not wasted either.After being salvaged, all of them were wholesaled to Baron Cayo.

Those who can play magic, none of them are poor ghosts, and some of them are capital tossers.Magic materials have never been short of sales.

More than 40 lizards were sold for [-] gold coins, and Hudson was very satisfied.

If Baron Cayo hadn't happened to appear, these ugly, foul-smelling monsters would most likely enter the stomachs of orc slaves.

It's a pity that he forgot to let Bear Stearns keep his hand to catch the live ones. According to Baron Cayo, the price of live lizards can triple.

It can be sold at such a price mainly because the swamp is a restricted area for humans.Even if you organize people to go deep into the swamp, it will be difficult to pull these guys out from the depths of the quagmire.

Extravagant magical research, Hudson has no interest in participating.If you have this spare time, you might as well learn bear magic from Bear Stearns.

Instant casting that does not require spells is much more efficient than human magic.Anyway, they are all open and hung, so naturally they should be opened a little bigger.

If he wasn't too young, with this instant magic, he could go out and pretend to be a magister.

What limited Hudson's spellcasting level was mainly the lack of mental power.The magic power can be cheated, but the spiritual power is your own.

Theoretically speaking, if one does not have enough mental power to control magic power, one can forcibly release more powerful magic, but one needs to bear the backlash caused by the out-of-control magic.

Hudson is timid, since he accidentally burned his clothes when he released Mantianhuowu last time, he has stopped all attempts to die.

Fortunately, Man Tian Huo Wu's level is not high, if the unknown learner releases the forbidden spell, it is estimated that he will become "another" person who killed himself by playing magic.

The mental power of an intermediate magician, then the intermediate magician is fine.There is only one life, there is no need to risk your own life just to pretend to be aggressive.

"Intermediate knight + intermediate magician + sharpshooter".

With such strength, Hudson can be regarded as the top-notch genius among his peers.

There are not no more powerful geniuses, but they all exist in myths and legends.In the real world, there is still a bit of "logic" to be said.

No matter how great the talent is, it will take time to transform it into strength.The strong are honed in blood and fire, and the flowers in the greenhouse cannot withstand the wind and rain.

After seeing off Baron Cayo, Hudson secretly calculated the gains and losses of this meeting.

The matter of opening up wasteland cannot be kept secret, and if it is exposed, it will be exposed.

The Dalton family has no shortage of land, and there are only tens of thousands of acres of mountain land, which cannot be seen by others.

It's just that the plan to increase food production must be temporarily interrupted.Especially the land in the plain area, the marsh brand fertilizer can no longer be used in it.

It can be said that a good grain harvest in one year is accidental.Every year, grain production has increased greatly, which cannot be explained by chance.

As long as people with a heart continue to pay attention, they will eventually increase food production and connect with the Marsh brand fertilizer.

On the contrary, the newly opened mountainous areas can be used continuously. As long as the amount is limited and the grain output is slightly lower than that in the plain areas, there will be no major problems.

The land in hilly areas is not static, and the soil quality in different areas is also different.If fertile soil happened to be developed, then the grain output would be a little lower than that of the plains.

Perhaps more crops such as soybeans, flax, potatoes, etc. that do not pick the ground should be planted.Even if it is charged a little more, it will not arouse suspicion.

No matter what crops are planted, they will not be wasted.In the huge mountainous land, except for Hudson, the lord who is qualified to be picky eaters, everyone else eats whatever they want.

Potatoes serve as a staple, and it's no big deal.As long as you can fill your stomach, it's not a problem.

The more vegetable oil, the better. Whether it increases the oil and water in the stomachs of the people, or processing soap, it is a big oil consumer, and no amount of soybeans can be consumed.

Even the residue left over from oil extraction can be fed to livestock, and some orc races with good stomachs can digest it without any waste.

Grasp the speed of it, even if it is spread, people will only lament that Baron Hudson is lucky, and he can touch fertile soil even when opening up wasteland.

Someone found the use of swamp mud, and it can also be inferred that the newly reclaimed wasteland soil layer is too thin and needs to be thickened.

For the rest of the content, someone will naturally help to make up for it.Even if there are some unreasonable things, others will find ways to help rationalize them.

Although the "good luck" hat is easy to envy and hate, the benefits brought by this thing are also amazing.

After experiencing many things, everyone will get used to it.No matter what good things happen, if Hudson meets him, everyone will feel normal.

If you don't believe it, go back and look through the history books left by your ancestors.The above "legendary characters" started their careers, each one is more magical than the other.

From the very beginning, Hudson deliberately deepened the imprint of "good luck", which made many people attribute his success to luck and prevented many unnecessary troubles.

No one wants to ask for trouble.When encountering a particularly lucky guy, even if a normal person does not take the initiative to make friends, he will not deliberately offend him.

Fortunately, Baron Cayo is a magician, and the focus of his attention is always involuntarily associated with magic, and he is not interested in the worldly level of technology.

Otherwise, take part in the steelmaking furnace, and the biggest secret of the Mountain Territory will be exposed.For a long time to come, the mining area will be the most important industry in the mountainous area, and the technology must not be leaked.

After all, there are still too few talents, not even one who can discuss major issues.Even if Hudson mobilized all his contacts and asked everyone to help search for some management talents, it still had little effect in the end.

The truly talented people are basically monopolized by the big nobles.Occasionally a few are born, and that is also among the noble children. Unless the family completely declines, it will not be able to dig at all.

The core reason is that mountainous areas are not attractive enough to talents.With Hudson's current family background, it is not as useful as the "good luck" hat on his head if he wants to recruit talents to join him.

Good luck is a prerequisite for the successful counterattack of the bottom nobles.

It is also a good choice for those down-and-out aristocratic children who are in a desperate situation and want to make a comeback against the wind.

……

Baron Kayo, who was on the road with a group of lizard corpses, turned gloomy as soon as he left the mountain territory.It's as if the previous happy conversations were all intentional.

"Master, what's wrong?"

The accompanying housekeeper asked.

Although acting is the basic skill of nobles, there are not many times when such hard work is required.In theory, Hudson, who is in the stage of primitive accumulation of capital, should not be worthy of his treatment.

"It's nothing, it's just that someone puts it together, and I feel a little uncomfortable.

That Baron Hudson is not simple, we have to re-evaluate, his real ability is much more terrifying than the data.

After returning, send someone to tell the earl: I suspect that the earth bear is about to reach adulthood, or has already grown up.

Ability and luck coexist, this kind of existence is not easy to deal with.From now on, raise the level of attention to the Mountain Territory to the highest level, and focus on this person's suspicious behavior.

If possible, place as many spies as possible in the Mountain Territory, so that he cannot escape our sight. "

Baron Kayo said solemnly.

seeing is believing.

After personal contact, he discovered that the description in the information was not only not exaggerated, but even underestimated in some places.

The basic skills of dealing with people and dealing with others seem to be very simple, but not many people can use them freely before being tempered by society.

During this trip to the Mountain Territory, he seemed to have seen everything, but Baron Cayo actually saw nothing of value.

Everything he came into contact with was what the other party wanted him to see.There are many difficulties in opening up wasteland, the development of swampland is dangerous, and road construction is difficult...all of them are difficulties.

Ordinary people are likely to be fooled, but after experiencing the baptism of the old foxes in the capital, Baron Cayo is no longer a simple youth.

Since it's all difficult, why spend a lot of money and effort to develop it?
Putting the manpower, material resources, and financial resources consumed by the development of the territory into the battle for the county guards, the mountain leaders have long suppressed the Sith Baron.

Before knowing that the position of sheriff is determined by default, normal people will choose the position of sheriff who can see benefits in the short term.

The development of the territory should be done slowly, anyway, where the land is lying, it will not be able to run with long legs.

All kinds of abnormalities fell into the eyes of Baron Cayo, and he came to a conclusion: Hudson predicted in advance that the battle for sheriff would fail.

Without any specific information, only based on the apparent political situation of the kingdom, one can predict the outcome of the game between the parties and the final decision of the king's capital. How can this be a political novice?

Including that Hudson didn't let the bear hunt down the lizard beast king, and it fell into his eyes: he restrained his desires and was good at hiding his own strength.

The whole body is full of advantages, if it becomes an enemy, it must be the most terrifying.

As the overlord of the southeast province, it is natural to be vigilant when such a person appears in his sphere of influence.

"Master, there is no need to worry too much. In fact, the Earl has already made arrangements. Next, we can send him to Qingyun, and we can also push him down the cliff.

As a pawn, if you don't have any strength, how can you destroy the Felix family's plan for us?

After all, Wright County is still too small, even if this Baron Hudson has seen through everything, he has to fight that Baron Sith.

Being able to hold back now, it's just your presence that makes them feel the pressure.

The calm is temporary, and when the young master's plan in Wyton County is launched, they will definitely take the opportunity to decide a winner. "

……

Maple Leaf leader, Baron Kettley felt his scalp tingling when he saw the crowd of creditors approaching menacingly.It seems that this business is really not easy to do.

In the end, he still couldn't show the aura of being in debt. Kettley could only smile and explain how hard it was to sell orc slaves while crying poorly.

It's a pity that there is a group of slave traders on the opposite side. People who do this kind of unconscionable business can have everything, but they can't have sympathy.

"Kately, it's almost over. We have a general understanding of who you are. It's useless to perform these things, who are you trying to fool!
Would you take the deal if there weren't enough benefits?

Now that he has accepted the deal, he naturally has to bear the risks involved.No matter whether you use the slaves for your own use or sell them, the agreed amount cannot be less.

Don't try to play tricks on me here, it's okay if you don't want to give money.For the sake of your father, as long as one arm is removed, I will let you go. "

The middle-aged man's grinning words made Keitele feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave.A creditor asked him for an arm, and with so many creditors in front of him, wouldn't it be necessary to remove all the parts from his body.

However, this group of guys are not the masters of joking.If you say you want to remove an arm, you will really remove the arm.

As for his father's face, it does play a role.But the premise is that it cannot involve interests, otherwise the face of a nodding acquaintance will not be enough at all.

"Roman Knight, my arm is not worth that much money. After all your busy schedules, you ventured deep into the Orc Empire to catch slaves. You paid such a high price, you can't just do it for a sigh of relief, right?
Although I couldn't pay in cash, what I used to cover the debt was ironwork.These things are hard goods no matter where they are.

As long as you transport things back to the Northland, whether you keep them at home for your own use or take them out for sale, you don't have to worry about throwing them into your hands.

Even if the quantity is a bit large, it can still be smuggled to the orc empire.I've been there too, so I know how profitable it is.

If I don't do such a lucrative business, if I want to take off one of my arms, this business will be a big loss. "

Lord Kettler tried to persuade.

Smuggling iron products to the orc empire is indeed profitable enough, but the hidden risks are directly proportional to the profits that can be reaped.

The Kingdom may not care about the smuggling of some ordinary commodities, but the supervision of strategic materials such as ironware still exists.

Once caught, not to mention implicating the whole family to die together, the participants will definitely be cool anyway.

"So, we still have to thank you for your care?

Since it's all about taking care of, then you just take care of it to the end!
You will personally escort these iron artifacts into the Orc Empire, and hand over the profits in return to us.

Don't worry, we won't treat you badly, and you will get a share of the increased profits. "

Roman Knight said with a sneer.

"Roman is right. Kettley, you want to take care of us so much, so please go and make a trip yourself!

Don't worry, we will take care of your territory.During your days out, there is absolutely no chance of chaos.

When it comes to doing business, you are still a skinny beast.Even if you leave the Northland, you still have your name in the Beastman Empire. "

The eagle-eyed old man on the side made up his sword.

Hearing the word "skinless beast", Baron Kettley just wanted to cry.Didn't he just save a little bit, so he was given this title by a group of unscrupulous guys.

It's like being a profiteer.

You must know that Ketley's business in the Orc Empire has always been a business without capital.Completely followed the rules, never had...

"Knight of Ziluo Mountain, this joke is not funny. If I really let me take these iron tools into the orc empire, I am afraid that everyone will really have nothing to lose.

There are so many tribes on the orc border, which one doesn't have my arrest warrant?
Even if they really come to do business, I'm afraid people won't believe it.If you fight on someone else's territory, it will be difficult to get out of your body. "

It's all caused by youth and ignorance. In order to complete the primitive accumulation in the orc empire as soon as possible, Baron Kettley resorted to cruel means.

Unfortunately, he was unlucky and offended someone who shouldn't be offended.Going south this time is not only to seek a piece of foundation, but also to avoid disaster.

"Okay, you two don't tease him. Look at scaring our skinning beast, as if we were going to skin him.

Come on, Kettley.As long as you introduce the mountain baron who provided the goods to us, and help us broker a big business, we will accept the goods. "

A gentle voice sounded, and the cold sweat broke out on Baron Kettley's forehead.Obviously, the man who spoke now is the most terrifying existence among the creditors.

"Lord Longxi, I can introduce you to the Mountain Baron. But I can't guarantee whether the next business can be negotiated.

This guy is difficult to deal with, he only has interests in his eyes, I am not very familiar with him, so I can't influence his decision..."

"If you don't know each other well, can you cooperate so many times? If you don't have a good relationship, can he help you pick up that batch of garbage at a low price?
Kettler, you should know that I hate cheating more than anything.Things have come to this point, you kid don't want to play tricks.

This big deal has been facilitated, so hello, hello, hello everyone.

If you screw up this deal, I can guarantee you kid will regret coming into this world.

Don't blame us for being ruthless, it's really you who delivered it to your door.If it weren't for your greedy brat, you wouldn't be in this situation.

Originally, I was prepared for you to run away and collect debts from your father, but I didn't expect you to be lucky enough to be able to checkmate! "

Long Xi's words completely cut off Ketley's thoughts of struggling.After working for a long time, people are already prepared, but he is just a pawn.

Recalling that before he came up with the idea of ​​monopolizing orc slaves, he seemed to have heard people say more than once: How does the monopoly business make money, and how high the price of human slaves is...

Every time I heard it inadvertently, I thought it was a coincidence, but now it seems that it was arranged by others, just waiting for him to get into the set.

However, he was blinded by the interests at the time, thinking that as long as he monopolized the orc slaves, he would not worry about making a lot of money.

Coupled with the constant persuasion of the cronies around him, he didn't care about it and directly gambled his entire fortune.

Looking back now, how stupid that was.Actually only saw benefits, even the word "risk" was ignored.

It's too late to regret it now.The other party has set up such a big game, it is obviously impossible for him to escape.

"Lord Longxi, I don't know what Kettley can do, but I am honored to trouble you so much.

If you just want to make a deal with the Mountain Baron, you can go directly to him.As far as I know, that guy will dare to do any business as long as he has enough money.

like……"

Before Kettler could finish speaking, Long Xi interrupted: "That's all, kid, don't waste time trying.

The layout is specially for you, your face is too big.It's just an idle move, you kid jumped into it by yourself because of greed.

In contrast, the mountain baron is much smarter.Seemingly greedy, but always sticking to the bottom line.If you don't deserve your own profits, people can hold back and don't make any money.

I designed that guy several times, but unfortunately they all hid from him.Now I don't have time to continue, so I can only find you, a guy with a little contact, as a middleman. "
