king.

After a field trip, the amateur Hudson was still unable to determine the reserves of the coal mine.It can only be based on Bear Stearns' dancing gestures.

Judging from the excavated products, it is mainly peat, and there is also a part of lignite.

They are all associated mines that are common in swamp areas, and no miracle happens.

Steelmaking is hopeless, but it is good to be used as fuel.The production of low-quality iron is not a big problem.

When the book is used up, I hate it less.

Hudson has only heard of coal washing, but he doesn't know how to operate it.

Wash coal in water?
This is too much...

Who cares, just arrange for someone to try it out.

Not to mention coking.A pure novice, instead of studying that technology, it is better to buy a set of magic smelting equipment from the Mage Association.

It is said that using this equipment, no matter what fuel is used, the highest quality steel can be produced.

cost……

This is an awkward question.

If it was cheap, the price of iron products would have been priced at the price of cabbage, and it would not be Hudson's turn to make a fortune.

In general, the discovery of coal mines is also a good thing.

The main function of peat is agriculture, which can be regarded as an enhanced version of "Swamp Brand Fertilizer".

There are many other functions, but Hudson is temporarily unable to develop them.

The production of building materials, drilling stabilizers and thinners, raw material regulators for the ceramic industry... are not something that can be produced at the technological level of the mountainous territory.

The degree of carbonization of lignite is not enough, but it is still possible to substitute charcoal for iron smelting.

What restricts the production capacity of raw iron in mountainous areas is the insufficient production capacity of charcoal.Although there is a lot of wood this year, it can't afford to squander every day.

With lignite that can be mined directly, not only can the production capacity be expanded, but the cost of smelting will be further reduced.

When Hudson was caught in the blueprint planning, a bear paw appeared in front of his eyes and dangled back and forth.

"Bear Stearns, what are you messing around with? Don't you see that I'm thinking about something? To be a bear, you must have quality."

As soon as the words fell, a bear greeted him with contempt.

"It's almost done, who doesn't know who!

If it weren't for my reminder, some people's saliva would almost flow out.

In front of so many slaves, you are not ashamed, but I am ashamed!

Without further ado, let me declare that the discovery of this coal mine is due to Ben Xiong.

If it weren't for..."

After looking at the cub with contempt, Hudson said boldly:
"Okay, I can't do without you.

The income from the coal mine will be shared with you in half.That's all right, right?
Bear Stearns, when will you restrain your petty temper?
Don't forget, now you are not that poor bear with nothing.

As a bear with more than a thousand cattle and sheep, and an estate that is about to exceed ten thousand mu, you have to learn to be tolerant.

Don't worry about three melons and two dates all day long, it will make other bears laugh if it spreads. "

The truth is "three melons and two dates", and the mine boss may not be able to lie down and win.

The geographical location of this coal mine determines that it is difficult to make a profit.

For hundreds of miles, there is only one buyer, Hudson. If you want to make money, dream about it!

Of course, as a moral owner, Hudson will not let the coal mine lose money.

At the very least, the annual dividends will definitely allow bears to eat melons and dates.

……

"Master, there are a group of agents outside, and they came to visit together.

It is said that their goods outside have been robbed, and I would like your help to find them. "

Nick said blankly.

It can be seen that he didn't take the agent's robbing as a big deal.

It's all a money-for-money transaction without losing the interests of Master Hudson, so you don't need to care about it at all.

If it weren't for the fact that there were too many people coming, he would not have reported at this time for fear of losing customers and affecting the business of the territory.

"Is it our iron products that were robbed, or their other business?"

Hudson asked concerned.

He is not the Holy Mother. Doing business these days is inherently high-risk.

Business being robbed is only a small problem, and those who are unlucky will die directly.

If you want to meddle in your own business, you can't do it anyway.

But if the goods to be robbed are iron products produced by the mountain collar, Hudson will not be able to watch the show.This is going to affect business.

Such shameless things have never happened after the news that the Earth Bear has come of age.

"All!"

Hearing this answer, Hudson instantly understood what was going on.

A shrewd businessman naturally cannot come to him for no reason.

The Northland nobleman was also not stupid. He knew that Master Hudson was not easy to mess with, but he even started his business.

The only explanation is that a clever businessman mixed up the goods in an attempt to deter robbers with Hudson's name.

Or someone was manipulating behind the scenes, trying to provoke a conflict between him and the nobles of the Northland, and deliberately arranged a good show.

No matter what the result is, he will come forward to solve it.Otherwise, future transactions will not be possible.

"Tell them, and wait patiently. There will be results soon. In the recent days, don't go out for the time being."

Hudson said blankly.

Although I don't know what role these merchants played in it, it certainly wasn't just an accident.

It's normal for a family to be robbed by mistake, but it's ridiculous for a group of people to be robbed by mistake.

If it weren't for the fact that these guys pay quickly and never make trouble, he wouldn't even bother to say these words of comfort.

Life is alive, it is rare to be confused.

The water in the business field is too clear, but you can't catch fish.

If you go deeper, you will have no partners.To be an honest partner, it is very difficult to survive in the continent of Aslante.

Serious people, who is in the arms business!
When the matter got to this point, it was obvious that a group of merchants were forced to have no choice but to come up with such a bad idea.

Maybe it's not just him, some powerful nobles in other provinces also act as lobbyists.

Looking at it from another angle, it means that the time to close the net is approaching.

Once the window paper is pierced, it will not only be the nobles of the two counties who have a stake in it, but also the local nobles in other regions.

It's just that I don't know if the nobles of the Northland have grabbed enough food for the winter, or else they will lose a lot in this wave.

……

The Governor's Mansion, one after another with magic photo stones, appeared in front of Earl Pierce as evidence.

Accompanied by watching, there are also a group of bureaucrats in the southeast province.It's just that the style of painting is a little abnormal.

Seeing this kind of bad things inside the nobles, everyone who should have turned into anger from embarrassment, laughed and talked nonsense, commenting on the acting skills of the nobles of the Northland from time to time.

If this scene gets out, I'm afraid it will immediately cause an uproar.

In the eyes of these old men, the result of the painstaking planning and gaming of everyone in the relationship is just a big drama for comment.

"These merchants are still willing to spend their money. They even took out the rare picture stones. It seems that they are really being bullied."

The tax officer said with a smile.

As a bureaucrat stationed by the king in the southeastern province, Earl Simic was not a local nobleman, and was completely a spectator in this battle.

However, as an outsider, he had to collect the full amount of taxes every year. In addition to routinely selling tax collection rights to nobles, dealing with merchants was also indispensable.

This process is obviously not very beautiful.

Few businessmen like to pay taxes, and tax evaders and tax collectors will inevitably have to fight wits.

Although as a tax officer, it was a lot of money, but it didn't affect Earl Simic's dislike of these guys.

To be exact, most nobles look down on merchants in their bones.

Ninety-nine percent of the land in the southeastern province was entrusted to noble lords, but the control of some prosperous cities was still in the hands of the kingdom.

When the central government is strong, these places are under the direct control of the kingdom; when it is weak, they are controlled by local nobles.

Undoubtedly, when encountering a powerful monarch like Caesar III, the tax collector still has some say in the local area.

"It is indeed enough for them. But just to teach them a lesson, lest they live too comfortably and comfortably, and make them forget who is the master of this world.

The little guys below are almost making a fuss.

Almost all the children of the nobles in the north were recorded by the photo stone. This struggle has already been won and lost, so there is no need to wait any longer.

Count Simic, why don't you hand it over to His Majesty the King? "

Governor Pierce said with a complex expression.

There is no doubt that the children of the local nobles did a great job this time.In addition to helping to suppress the news, the rest is to encourage the businessmen to do it.

If there is no accident, the content recorded by these photo stones will be spread all over the world in the shortest possible time.

The nobles of the North, with their bad reputation, will become even more notorious.

For many families, the loss of family reputation far exceeds that of a fief.

This fierce attack also hides himself behind the scenes.The maturity of the political means shown is enough to impress everyone.

It's a pity that there were no children of the Dalton family in such a wonderful performance.

For a big family, the ups and downs are no longer limited to the gains and losses of one city and one place.What is more important is whether future generations can produce talents in large numbers.

Cayo, who has high hopes, shows a really good political vision.Unfortunately, being able to see through does not mean being able to operate.

It sounds clear and straightforward, and the analysis of the problem can also hit the nail on the head. Unfortunately, the first time I practiced, I was hit hard.

Maybe suffer a few times and grow up in the future, but that is only a possibility after all.

The problem of high-sightedness and low-handedness is not so easy to solve.

The nephew is weak, and the son is too young.

At the age of thirteen or fourteen, when he was in the second grade of middle school, Earl Pierce did not dare to let him out of society so early.

Among the descendants of the direct line, there is actually a talent window period. For a big family, this is not a good thing.

There is no way, too few are born.The previous generation had few heirs, and the only brother died young.

In this generation, Earl Pierce worked hard to cultivate, and the ending was even more unsatisfactory.Not only did the harvest come late, but the yield was only one seedling.

If he hadn't had too few sons, he wouldn't have worked hard to raise his nephews.

As for collateral descendants, there is no shortage of them.The quality is mostly the capital of the middleman.

If you are willing to spend money, there is still value in cultivation.If you don't want to spend your money to pay tuition, then you can only lose sight of everyone.

This is also one of the reasons why the Dalton family pays attention to eating, try to deal with problems within the rules, and avoid making enemies everywhere.

The population is thin and can't stand the toss. If you play too much, it is easy to go wrong.

Even if it is the same family, Earl Pierce is not willing to see the collateral branch grow bigger and the family fortune fall by the wayside.

"Your Excellency, you should handle this kind of matter yourself! As a tax official, I cannot exceed my authority."

Earl Simic waved his hand and said.

The conflict between the northern and southern feudal nobles, as the earl of the court, his body is too weak, and he has no capital to participate in it.

It's easy to offend people by showing up at this time.In case the nobles of the North land put the account on his head, wouldn't it be wronged.

Seeing this scene, all the local nobles looked at each other and smiled.Although he doesn't say it, the contempt in his heart is indeed indispensable.

Compared with court nobles, the advantages of fief nobles are too great.Even though Earl Simic is in a high position now, all the glory comes from the king.

Unless one makes great achievements, it is possible to complete the transformation of identity.However, this change will most likely be downgraded.

Except for the early years of the founding of the country, the rise of every great nobleman in the future must not only have sufficient strength, but also must have the credit for saving the kingdom from danger.

These are far from Count Simic.

Rather than expecting such a small probability event, it is better to serve the king for generations and enjoy power and wealth with the help of the king's power.

At least Earl Simic can sit here and chat happily with everyone, no matter what other people think in their hearts, they will never show it on the face.

"Count Simic, you are still so humble. Who doesn't know that you are the king's right-hand man and are most trusted by His Majesty.

Since your Excellency doesn't like to get involved in such crap, we won't force it.

Military officer, the task of catching the murderer is entrusted to you.

Except for those boys from the Northland, I arrested all the rest of the robbers who appeared on the photo stone.

If necessary, local nobles can be recruited to cooperate.If these guys dare to resist, they will be killed on the spot!

As for how to deal with these bastards, just wait for the ruling of the kingdom's noble council! "

Earl Pierce said indifferently.

The crime of robbing a business traveler is not fatal to nobles.

Especially when it comes to those difficult guys from the Northland, it is even more difficult to beat them down.

When it comes to the noble council, there is a high probability that it will still be a joke.The only value is to embarrass the nobles of the North, and then try to reach out to his back garden. This is the best reason for rejection.

After all, everyone was hanging out in the aristocratic circle, and Earl Pierce didn't want to do anything wrong.

Taking these guys' subordinates now is not only reducing the strength of the northern nobles in the southeastern province, but also leaving room for the opponent to maneuver.

The lost face will definitely not be regained.But if you have a thicker skin, you can still cover it up.

It's hard to believe that it's unsatisfactory to throw the blame on these unlucky guys, but it's better than directly admitting that your own children led the team to do it.

The nobles themselves are a group of hypocritical guys.

In many cases, even if you know you are deceiving yourself and others, you have to continue acting.
