Lord: Married To A Countess At The Beginning

Business has been an important cornerstone of national development since ancient times.

Only by promoting commercial development can we stimulate the work power of the people at the bottom.

And for a strong country, the prosperity of business means that the country's treasury is full.

Because for any product, two cents will be paid, one is the tax to the local lord, and the other is the tax to the king.

It is conceivable that the northern goods, which had no rivals in the Kingdom of Beirut at the beginning, brought many benefits to the entire kingdom.

Don't say that other goods before the appearance of northern goods could also bring high taxes to the kingdom.

Wake up, if the previous goods really had such high taxes, how could other kingdoms envy the Kingdom of Beirut?

Really good things not only satisfy the most basic material needs, but also provide spiritual satisfaction.

Gray's merchandise does it.

This is something that commodities cannot do.

Therefore, Gray's products can stimulate the consumer desire of the entire civilian population.

The kingdom’s tax revenue soared sixfold within half a year!

Of course, part of this is the profits from exported goods.

It is precisely because of this huge profit that the entire Beirut Kingdom is jealous of Gray from top to bottom.

They want to completely seize all the factories in Gray's hands into their own hands.

But they forget that they are not the only country in this world.

And Gray's identity is Anna's husband.

He wasn't even from Harrington anymore.

Anna's status in the kingdom is unmatched, and no one can replace her.

And she firmly supports whatever Gray does.

Therefore, an extremely embarrassing situation emerged for the entire kingdom's nobles and royal family.

This comes a month after Gray announced its withdrawal from the Kingdom of Beirut market.

Taxes throughout the kingdom dropped to one-tenth of their previous levels.

In other words, their current taxes are not as high as before the appearance of Gray Northern Products.

At this time, the clan members realized something was wrong.

Then they cried for father and mother again and began to beg to the king.

At this moment, inside the palace of Beirut.

This place is still as bright and bright as a month ago. The Imperial Guards are wearing armor with shining cold light, and all of them have solemn faces.

And in the meeting hall of the king and his ministers.

The king looked at the group of nobles below with dark circles under his eyes, who looked like they were dead mothers.

The king had a sullen face and didn't want to pay attention to this group of trash.

A month ago, this group of losers came to persuade him again and again, telling him to be wary of Gray, saying that Gray was the king of the orcs, with hundreds of thousands of orc warriors under his command. Not only that, but his property was spread all over the kingdom.

Every day, a large amount of the country's wealth is stolen by that thief Gray.

These people spoke with strong temptation at that time, and they confidently expressed that as long as the king could support them, they could take the wealth belonging to Gray into the main court.

At this time, as the supreme authority of the entire kingdom, he has a powerful army, a vast land, and an entire country behind him. Of course, he is not worried at all about whether Gray will be angry.

In fact, he had never even heard of the name Gray more than a month ago.

The first time he heard Gray's name, it became a huge threat to his heart.

Nothing else, because Gray became the king of the orcs.

According to common sense, Gray applied for a development order and opened up a territory, and he had to give his approval before his identity as Lord Gray could be recognized.

So Gray is his subordinate vassal.

And this subordinate suddenly one day became the king of other forces.

What would the king think?

Moreover, the orc race has always given humans the impression of being murderous and cruel.

A nobleman has the top race in the world as his army and owns a vast land.

He is also married to the countess whom he fears the most.

No king would react at all to this kind of king-explosion combination.

So the king was about to attack Gray half-heartedly.

Unfortunately, they were slapped hard by reality.

Once they got through the operation, they immediately forced the people away.

Then they realized that they could not only cooperate with the Kingdom of Beirut.

Now the king's bowels are filled with regret.

But as the king of a country, his decision cannot be changed.

Even if he regrets it, he must pretend to be indifferent. Only in this way can those who follow him feel at ease.

If a king can't keep his composure, then those followers may have an idea.

If people's hearts are broken, it will be difficult to lead the team.

He didn't want the kingdom to be lonely in his hands.

So even if he was very unhappy, he could only suppress his anger and look at the few nobles in front of him who were crying with him expressionlessly.

"Your Majesty, that Gray has no intention of being loyal to you at all. We just wanted to work with him to make the cake bigger, but in the end he defected to the enemy country!"

...***.....

"Your Majesty, let's send troops to attack that disloyal and unjust guy! If this continues, my territory will really be over!"

"Your Majesty, why don't you have a chat with Count Anna? As long as Gray comes back, we can forget the past!"

"Yes, yes, as long as the traitor is willing to come back, we don't need to pursue the losses he gave us."

The people talking are basically idiots who have no brains, but it is normal for them to have no brains. The nobility has been passed down for hundreds of years, and there will definitely be some brainless people who will inherit the title and then squander all the wealth accumulated by the previous generations, leaving it to the future generations. People are a mess.

Obviously, these fat-headed guys are this type.

There was a hint of disgust and irritation in the king's eyes.

It’s already reached this point, and you still want to forget about it?

----------...

Damn, that's not what you said at the beginning.

Want to take down Gray and let my army bleed for your benefit?

What are you dreaming about?

The king thought to himself that I had done my best by not directly recruiting you to fight.

The ministers present and the nobles who really promoted this matter all looked impatient.

These brainless guys are really comfortable when they take advantage of them.

Now they are making trouble but it is also very annoying.

The king waved his hand and asked the guards to leave the conference hall with these useless people who only knew how to cry.

Then the whole hall fell into deathly silence.

The king looked at his cronies around him, and then said coldly: "Look at the stupid things you have done! You idiots who only have shit in your mind! Your eyes can only see benefits but not the longer term. Something?!"

"Damn it, I should have stopped you from messing around before! Now, everyone, you should give me an explanation. I was just negligent for a moment, and the whole kingdom is already crumbling! If you can't give me an explanation, hum!"

The king snorted coldly, then closed his eyes and waited for the explanations from the ministers and nobles.

The ministers and nobles looked at me, and I looked at you, and finally everyone looked at the king.

They said to themselves, now you regret it. We just made the suggestion before, and you hurriedly asked others to do it. Now that you regret it, the blame has been thrown on us?

But they were helpless. The king said it was their fault and it would be wrong to take them.

It can't be the king's fault.

Soon, their eyes turned to the body of a certain big noble in the crowd. .
