king.

Chapter 119

In the mountains, Hudson is busy entertaining guests.

After several months of hard work, although there is no shadow of the castle, the temporary mansion was still built.

With the right venue, there is a basis for hosting a banquet.

After all, he is a member of the noble group, so how can he not hold a banquet?

Compared with other regions, the nobles in Wright and Wyton counties are representatives of the thrifty faction.

Although it is rare for people like Hudson to hold a banquet for the first time after settling down for half a year, there are not a few people who only hold an event every few months.

They are all forced by "money".

Except for a few wealthy families, most of the lords are facing financial crisis.

With no money in his pocket, naturally he can't be arrogant.One of the important means is to reduce the expenses in all aspects and reduce the number of banquets held.

Although it was the first time Hudson hosted a banquet, the number of guests attending the banquet was still small.It's not that there is a lack of people attending the banquet, the main reason is that Hudson only invited the twenty or so people in front of him.

Without exception, all of them are not far away, and have some kind of friendship.

In the event of an accident, everyone can take care of each other.Mutual benefit is the core reason for the establishment of this emerging interest group.

Hudson is in a good mood, and several friends have already recommended talents to him.Although the timing was too coincidental, Master Hudson, who was seriously short of people, couldn't care less.

There are many people and many things. Compared with other village chief lords with a population of only a thousand, the mountain leader is still the size of a big town.

In a large town with a population of tens of thousands, there are only seven managers, all of whom are borrowed from outside.

With such a small number of people, Hudson can maintain the normal operation of the territory, and Hudson admires his management ability.

It's just that with the continuous development of the territory, there are more and more specific things that need to be planned and managed, and there are not enough people.

It's not that Hudson didn't cultivate talents by himself. The chief armor and security chief below are the "key talents" he has painstakingly cultivated.

It is not easy for a group of purely illiterate people to do a good job at the grassroots level. It is obviously unrealistic to expect them to grow up immediately.

Limited cronies must also be placed in the army.Compared with administrative management, Hudson still pays more attention to the control of the army.

This can be seen from the talents recruited.All the targets were administrative personnel, and no matter how talented the military commanders were, Master Hudson would not dare to use them.

Although there are not many history books in the family, some lessons have been recorded.Countless heroes have failed in starting their own businesses, and the reason behind them is the betrayal of their subordinates.

In troubled times, the army is the lifeline.The army is not chaotic, and everything has room for maneuver.Once there is a problem with the army, it can only rely on the blessing of the Lord of Dawn.

Ability can be cultivated slowly, but loyalty must not be compromised.Anyway, there are only so few soldiers in total, as long as they can execute orders without compromise, that's enough.

When it comes to military command ability, Hudson feels that his level of "talking about soldiers on paper" ranks high among a group of colleagues who only know how to charge stupidly.

If he went to the battlefield a few more times and accumulated some actual combat experience, he might become a famous general in the mainland.

Hudson felt that recruiting these guys into the army would be irresponsible to himself.

Among the down-and-out aristocrats living abroad, there may be outstanding military talents, but Hudson doesn't think that he, a little baron, can recruit these great gods.

On the contrary, it is easy to recruit administrative personnel, as long as they have the level of those few housekeepers, they can make do with it first.

In the future, there will be more suitable candidates for replacement. If there are not enough talents, then wait for the elderly officers in the army to retire.

Who made Master Hudson dare not promote compulsory education in the territory, so he could only secretly teach some officers to read and write in the army?

In terms of knowledge dissemination, the aristocratic group has long reached a tacit agreement, only allowing circulation in a small area.

Not only the serfs had no chance to learn knowledge, but also the free people outside.Including many businessmen, also illiterate.

This is not the worst.As far as Hudson knows, some down-and-out aristocratic lords have also become illiterate.

If there is no one to help, if you want to regain knowledge, you will have to pay a heavy price.

……

"Hudson, are you really going to fight the Sith?"

Adrian Knight deliberate question.

It's not a matter of support or not. They belong to the same family. On this issue, Adrian was divided into camps from the beginning.

Raising his wine glass and taking a sip, Hudson said with great enjoyment: "Whether you want to fight with him or not is actually not about me, but whether everyone needs me to fight.

Being pushed all the way to the present, it is no longer possible for me to quit just by saying quit.

The farce in Wright County, this is a small episode in the big screen, and there must be more good dramas behind.

If you don't want to be overturned by the storm, then find a way to increase your strength!

There is not much time left for us, and we will try to accumulate as much as possible before the storm comes..."

The sound gets quieter as you go to the back, even if everyone around is regarded as "our own people", there are some words that Hudson still dare not say.

This gathering, which seemed to be just an ordinary exchange, was actually the formation of a new interest group.

Although this group looks weak, Wright County is already considered a big force.Excluding other influences, it has barely been able to compete with the northern nobles in the county.

"What a fucking life!

I don't even know whether to envy you or pity you.But it can be seen that you are enjoying everything now.

So, can I understand that you are ready to deal with Baron Sith, or you have found a way to intervene in the face of the Felix family? "

Adrian Knight looking forward to the question.

From the standpoint of the Koslow family, it is natural to hope that Hudson can win this dispute.

As long as Hudson seized the position of Sheriff, coupled with the solidarity of the various branches of the family, it would not take long for him to gain a firm foothold among the middle-class nobles.

After taking this step, the Koslow family can be regarded as the number one in the southeastern province.Even if you look at the entire kingdom, you have the most basic right to speak.

The threshold of the kingdom's aristocratic council is to start with a viscount, and you must have real power to be eligible to join.

Although in fact the right to speak is limited, nominally this is the highest authority of the Alpha Kingdom, capable of making decisions about the kingdom's major affairs.

The most direct manifestation is that the safety is more secure. In case of being suppressed by the big nobles, you can still shout twice in the Kingdom Council.

It is uncertain how much it can play, but as long as things are brought to the table, many things must be done according to the rules.

This is also the reason why the Dalton family, although powerful, cannot cover the sky with one hand in the southeastern province.

"Don't guess, I didn't say these words. If it spreads out and causes any bad influence, I won't admit it.

There is only one thing I want to do now, and that is to continuously enhance my own strength.Don't expect anything else, as long as the training of these two infantry regiments is completed, do you think it is important who is the county guard? "

Hudson said with a sneer.

Confidence is all about comparison.The weakness of his colleagues made Hudson more and more confident.

Strategies, strategic layout... It's all nonsense, most noble lords don't have any plans, just like ordinary people, they are just messing about day to day.

The teammates selected by Hudson are basically of this kind, and Adrian Cavaliers is considered the most thoughtful among them.

It is a pity that those powerful characters are not within the scope of Master Hudson's wooing.To put it simply, don't take them to play together.

Ability is not equal to strength. Before completing primitive accumulation, no matter how awesome a guy is, he is no different from an ordinary person.

If they are directly excluded from the circle, and they are not given the opportunity to complete primitive accumulation, the general trend will soon teach them how to behave.

The situation in Wright County is still unclear, but the pattern of confrontation between the two powerhouses in Wright County is already very obvious.Whoever wants to become the third pole will be jointly attacked by the two major forces.

Hudson had observed a moment of silence for the Baron Ezekiel.The ability is indeed very good, but it is a pity that his own strength cannot support his ambition.

This is a grassroots tragedy.If you don't give it a go, it is estimated that everyone will not know that there is someone like him in Wright County.

After painstaking planning, careful preparation, and dozens of times of effort, he chose the most appropriate time to give it a go, but in the end it was inevitable that he would be "destroyed ten times with one effort" by Baron Sith.

All calculations outside the battlefield are all victories, and all battles on the battlefield are all defeats.

The strenuous resistance just made the story more tragic.Perhaps wandering poets love tragic heroes, but the aristocratic world does not sympathize with losers.

In contrast, Hudson is much more wretched.In the early stage, he knew that his strength was not enough, so he stayed in the territory and ignored the outside world.

The only big thing he did was try to brag.Instead of going out to blow it out by yourself, but with the help of former colleagues.

The stories of "true and false, false and true" are interspersed together, but they have deceived many people.

It wasn't until he completed the initial accumulation and transformed his fame into strength that he slowly moved to the foreground.

Half of the two infantry regiments cannot fight, but this does not affect the eyes of the outside world, these two infantry regiments are elite divisions.

People always like to believe what they see with their own eyes, so Hudson let everyone see "two elite infantry regiments."

After all, the aristocratic lords who are high above don't care about the transfer of personnel below.

The first troupe has performed long ago, and now it is the second troupe that often shows up in the outside world.In everyone's inherent cognition, the first group formed last year is more powerful.

As everyone knows, Hudson just played a word game.The current first regiment is the recruit regiment. Except for a small number of personnel changes in the second regiment outside, [-]% of the soldiers are from the original first regiment.

The first regiment nestled in the depths of the territory every day, while conducting military training, while guarding the work of the orc slaves, they would not show up unless they trained a famous figure.

Once again, the bluff was successful, directly establishing the confrontation between the two strong players in Wright County.

If Hudson didn't have two "elite infantry regiments" in his hands, the group of allies in the hall alone would not be able to compete with the northern nobles in the county.

The biggest reason for daring to have such a good time is naturally the tacit understanding with Baron Sith.Anyway, it's all a war of words, whoever coaxes who is the grandson.

Even if something was wrong, Hudson didn't think Baron Sith dared to take risks. Who made him an illegitimate child?
In case of misjudgment, it will be a direct blow to both sides.Even if Grand Duke Kavadia loves his son and wants to increase investment, his half-brothers and sisters will work hard to hold back.

Banquet, unprecedented success.

The guests who witnessed Hudson's military strength with their own eyes, the confidence that had been blown away by the group of Northern Xinjiang seemed to be regained overnight.

Everyone believes that as long as everyone unites, they will have the strength to oppose the nobles of the Northland in the county.

Even with the addition of Wyton County, the local nobles are still at a disadvantage.But that doesn't matter, there is a baron from the Dalton family on the opposite side?

Within the sphere of influence of one's own family, any casual support from the family would be enough to turn things around.

Especially the aristocrats who were forced to change land before had accumulated a lot of anger and wanted to let it out immediately.

Everyone was not so impulsive when they fought directly, but they still had the confidence to speak louder all at once.

……

"Lord Longxi, you see that the Mountain Baron doesn't even invite me to a banquet, and I really have no status as a neighbor on his side.

Otherwise, you can find an entry point from other places, find a nobleman who has weight in his mind as a lobbyist, maybe the effect will be..."

When things came to an end, Baron Kettley, who was unwilling to be reduced to a pawn, struggled with his last effort.

Although he didn't know what kind of big business it was, based on his understanding of this group of people, it would definitely not be a serious business.

Being involved in it would definitely do a hundred harms to him, but not a single benefit.

If you know something you shouldn't know, it's not impossible to be silenced by these guys.

"That's enough boy, lead the way honestly. One more word of nonsense, I'll break your third leg first.

Thank you kid for having the face to say it.We have been neighbors for less than half a year, and we have done business with each other several times, but I can't even get a banquet invitation, I feel ashamed for you! "

Long Xi reprimanded indifferently.

At first I thought it was an important pawn, but I didn't expect to find out that it was actually a useless pawn.

It looked like a "car", and after picking it up for a closer look, it turned out to be a "pawn" pretending to be one.

Under the murderous eyes of everyone, Kelette bit his head and led a group of people into the mountain territory.All the bitterness and tears in my heart can only be swallowed in my stomach alone.

……

In the living room, the atmosphere was suddenly suppressed to the extreme, as if the sky was about to fall.

The visitor was a guest, and I thought that Kelette brought a group of people over to discuss the delivery of the goods, but Hudson also warmly entertained them.

But after a brief contact, he quickly discovered that was not the case.

Especially Baron Kelette, who seemed to be serving his ancestors at this moment, followed a man in purple carefully, which made him realize that something was wrong.

"Dear guests, you are not like me from the southeast. I don't know why you have worked hard to come here?"

Hudson asked in feigned surprise.

As for Baron Kelette, he was directly ignored by Hudson from his wonderful performance at the door.

His intuition told him that what he brought this time was not business, but trouble.

It's just that everyone "has no grievances in the past, and no grievances in the near future", and Hudson can't figure out what troubles will be found on him at this time.

Even if the Koslow family had been in the north, it was hundreds of years ago.No matter how much hatred can be drawn, it won't be a hundred years before someone sends someone to retaliate.

"Baron Hudson, you're being polite, so many of us came here today to bother you, mainly because we want to negotiate a big deal with Your Excellency.

A big deal of more than 30 gold coins, as long as this order is completed, all the economic difficulties you are facing now will be solved. "

After hearing what the man in purple said, Hudson's face instantly became ugly.The news that he was heavily in debt spread from the southeast province to the north.

Without thinking about it, he knew that someone had leaked the secret, and gave Baron Kelette a hard look.

Among the dozen or so people present, he was the only one who was familiar with the news and who happened to know the news that the mountain leader was heavily in debt, so he was the number one suspect.

"30 gold coins is indeed a big deal. It's just that such a good deal, why can it be cheaper for me?

There are only some ironware that the mountain leaders can afford.

Looking at the entire Alpha Kingdom, whether it is the iron production capacity or the quality of iron, they are not ranked high. "

Hudson said blankly.

He really likes big business, but it's all serious business.Although he also took over such transactions with unknown origins, they were all small orders.

Even if there are some problems, the overall risk is still controllable.The situation this time is obviously different. The large order of 30 gold coins is estimated to cause a big commotion as soon as the order is delivered.

There are quite a few people staring at the Mountain Territory now, and Hudson doesn't think he can complete this huge deal without anyone noticing it under the eyes of a group of interested people.

"Baron Hudson, don't get too excited. It's normal for you to worry about risks when you encounter such a big business.

The reason for finding you is very simple, we need to order a large number of weapons.Looking at the entire Alpha Kingdom, the weapons produced in the mountainous region are of the worst quality! "

After hearing this explanation, Hudson almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

When you meet, you will reveal your shortcomings. Can you still communicate happily?

Is this because he doesn't want to sell good weapons?

It's just that I don't dare!
It is obvious that better quality iron can be produced, but for the sake of safety, Master Hudson still chooses to earn a little less.

If it weren't for his selfless dedication, it would be a dream for all the serf soldiers in the southeastern province to use iron weapons.

Without weapons, how can you realize your dream of gold and iron horses?
You must know that serf soldiers were excluded from the previous fighting with weapons.Even if there is participation, it can only be regarded as a gang fight at best.
