Becoming a lord in another world starts with farming

The person in charge of the caravan is still an old acquaintance, Code, and the Hairui Chamber of Commerce is responsible for the management of the Northland border. No matter where he is, he keeps himself clean and tidy, treats people politely, and is a handsome middle-aged man with a gentlemanly demeanor. .

No matter whether my predecessor's mother got married or returned to her parents' home forever, this middle-aged handsome man was always responsible for picking her up and dropping her off. Obviously, he was responsible for the one who planned to do something tough this time. Who knew him well? But this time he couldn't do it. Unexpectedly, the originally pitiful, weak, and helpless young man would silently become angry, and they would become the weaker party.

In this case, the previously planned means of house arrest, persuasion, annexation, etc. are obviously useless. These soldiers alone can take them all down.

Cord didn't think these soldiers were farmers in disguise, nor could they be hired. Just the spirit of these soldiers and their obedience to Owen's orders could be seen. Now the master's plan was over before it even started. Well, the eldest lady also miscalculated, and the Hydera family obviously still had some tricks up their sleeves.

"Master Owen, Madam has been worried about you during this time. She specially ordered us to bring three more supplies this year than in previous years. She also asked me to send two maids who serve the church to take care of your daily life." Cord said as if this was really happening. , Owen almost believed it.

However, Owen didn't intend to break up directly, so it was just right, so he waved his hand, and the soldiers immediately took two steps back. Although the siege was not lifted, at least there was no longer the feeling of life and death.

The guard and the clerk secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Cord also had a relaxed expression, but when he thought about what he had to pay, he smiled bitterly in his heart. This time he paid a huge sum.

Three more layers of supplies are nothing. With the Hai Rui Chamber of Commerce's reserves in the North, they can be replenished at any time. Giving him two maids from serving the church is a big problem for him.

The service church is a very special church. Its members believe in service, so other churches have nuns and priests, but here they have maids and housekeepers, and they have all received extremely professional training.

Because they believe in service and loyalty, the maids and housekeepers who serve the church will serve for life once they recognize their master, regardless of their abilities. Even death cannot stop them. Therefore, they are very popular with the nobles. Not to mention housekeepers, even maids are in high demand. goods.

The Hairui Chamber of Commerce had to pay a lot of money, and the two maids had some flaws, so they had the opportunity to get them. Moreover, sending them to the border of Northland was of great use. The problem is gone now.

Although he felt distressed, Cord knew that he had no choice. If this young master Owen was not satisfied, they would definitely have an accident if nothing else happened.

It was so normal to have an accident on the border of Northland. Even the Hairui Chamber of Commerce could not find the young master to blame, so when it came to the choice of losing all his money or stopping the loss in time, Cord chose the latter without hesitation.

"Don't call me Master, I am Viscount Hydera now." Owen squinted his eyes and stared at Cord and said softly.

"Sorry, noble Viscount Hydera, I will let them unload the goods right now." Cord understood what Owen meant, quickly admitted his mistake and corrected his words, and asked the clerk to unload the goods from the carriage. As for how much was unloaded, he no longer cared about it. .

"Very good. I miss my mother very much. This is my gift. You can hand it over to her personally." Irving nodded and asked someone to bring the court clothes they had prepared before, which are women's dresses, which are famous for their gorgeous shapes. , but commoners cannot wear it, only noble ladies can wear it, and the mother of the predecessor has this qualification.

Irving's choice to give the palace uniform was not random. If the other party accepts it, it means that she has recognized her identity as a Hydera family, and the two parties will have a basis for continued cooperation. If she does not accept it, then Irving can only work part-time as a bandit. Let’s teach the Hairui Chamber of Commerce a lesson and let them see how wrong it was to provoke a time traveler.

Cord was able to be entrusted with an important task by the Hairui Chamber of Commerce, and his brains and abilities were naturally good. He immediately guessed what Owen meant and accepted it happily.

It is no longer realistic to seize the territory and title of the Hydera family. At least there is no chance now, so it is better to maintain the status quo.

The Hai Rui Chamber of Commerce initially cooperated with the Hydra family because Hydra I's reputation as the Tiger of the Northern Territory could deter the surrounding nobles from easily attacking the Hai Rui Chamber of Commerce's caravans, thereby taking the opportunity to develop business on the northern border.

In fact, this decision is correct. Nowadays, the Hairui Chamber of Commerce is not a big deal in the empire, but it already has considerable influence on the northern border and has reached cooperative relationships with many northern nobles. After all, the nobles on the northern border still have It has not developed to the level of self-sufficiency, and has gradually understood that plundering alone can only last for a while. Only a good cooperative relationship can obtain a steady stream of materials, even if it requires wealth.

The problem is that without a caravan, the money cannot be spent, so the Hairui Chamber of Commerce has developed rapidly in recent years.

When Borui, the president of Hairui Chamber of Commerce, chose to marry his daughter, he did not want to seize the Hydera family, but intended to deepen the relationship between the two parties. Although it was his decision to develop the border business in the North, he was also the founder, but The Chamber of Commerce does not belong to him alone, so people inside will not sit back and watch him monopolize this part of the benefits and use this to completely control the Chamber of Commerce, because this is not in their interests.

Although Borui was the president, he couldn't kick out all the collaborators, so he came up with the idea of ​​marrying off his daughter.

The northern border nobles were regarded by the imperial nobles as country bastards, but their aristocratic status was recognized by the empire. This was Borui's opportunity. After all, no matter how desperate the imperial nobles were, they would rarely marry the daughter of a businessman. Marriage will also impose many harsh conditions, which is far less straightforward than the Hydera family.

However, Hydra II died suddenly and Hydra III, who inherited the title, was too young, which made Borui think that he could have sex with me.

It's obviously not going to work now. Who would have thought that the Hydera family would actually hide their secrets? It's better to choose to continue to cooperate and recover some losses.

Cord is not the kind of person who can't figure things out. On the contrary, he is very decisive. He immediately changes his attitude after thinking about it, so that Owen can't find fault.

After unloading the things, the caravan left. Although the two parties had the intention to continue cooperation, they almost stopped fighting just now. It was not the time to continue to stay, not to mention that Code had to go back and report this matter to see what the president said to Hyde. Considering the attitude of the La family, and the loss this time also needs to be replenished by the Chamber of Commerce, it seems that my life will be difficult in the future.

Cord couldn't help but shook his head when he thought of this. Hiring so many guards was a sum of money, and the supplies that he had not planned to spend were a sum of money. The two chambers of commerce spent a lot of money to acquire church maids to serve the church. to the chamber's next developments in Northland.

Now all these are gone. Even if I am deeply trusted by the president, the Chamber of Commerce does not belong to the president alone. Even if I will not be removed from my post, I am afraid that censure will be inevitable. What is worse is that I will be caught by someone from the Chamber of Commerce. The opportunity to interfere in the affairs of the North is the most troublesome.
