Lord: Married To A Countess At The Beginning

Recently, as news broke that Black Rock City had been breached, what followed was an endless flow of refugees.

The lord is kind and generous, and ordered all the forces under his command to contribute to help.

These big businessmen who do business in the noble territories have a close relationship with the nobles.

The Field family has opened many doors for them, and they are willing to reciprocate.

There are just too many refugees.

Those stupid and ignorant guys, like bedbugs, continued to rob some of their shops and businesses after eating the relief food they provided.

It was a repayment of kindness with hatred, and their industry was seriously damaged.

Most of the properties in the towns were snapped up by the refugees.

In the past few days, they have transferred all their properties outside the city to big cities with tall walls.

Although this can avoid being robbed by refugees, it also brings their business to a standstill.

In addition, they received news of many former clients being killed by refugees.

This made them hate those refugees extremely.

It has even reached the point where they wish to let the refugees die.

As long as those refugees exist, they will lose money.

If the countess's husband wants them to continue to provide help to those hateful refugees, then they have to refuse even if they bite the bullet.

This cannot go on.

The lord is too kind.

There are only about 10,000 refugees, and most of them are not real refugees.

These ten thousand people had no hope of survival. They had lost the foundation on which they relied for survival.

Relying on relief food all the time is not the answer.

With ten thousand mouths, the food eaten every day is unacceptable.

If you want them to live independently.

Then they need to be given ready-made land and housing.

Now even if Blackstone City is rebuilt, there is no way to solve this problem.

It will not take short time to rebuild Black Rock City.

And those brainless refugees will not be willing to wander in the slums forever.

Once the number of refugees in Thorn City exceeds a thousand, there is a risk of riots.

Those refugees have reached the edge of despair, and they will not be willing to die like this.

They will try their best to plunder other people's survival resources.

Now the businessmen in the city are panicking.

If the refugee problem is not solved, they will have no choice but to leave here early.

Refugee riots are no joke.

The lord's castle with its powerful armed force is naturally not afraid.

But it's different for those of them who live just a few blocks from the slums.

Those greedy guys will break into their homes, take over their property, possess their women, and kill them.

Even if they knew that doing so would soon face bloody suppression by the army, they would not hesitate.

Because they have long been desperate.

This time they accepted Gray's invitation, not only because of the reputation of Lord Gray's husband, but also because they wanted to use this Lord to amplify their dissatisfaction and demands to the Countess.

After hearing Gray's gentle voice and sensing his approachable temperament, several businessmen breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, this adult seemed to be quite friendly to them.

Unlike the Countess, she had a very tough attitude towards them.

"Master Gray, that's too kind. It's an honor for us to be friends with Master Gray."

Harry was the first to speak. His property was the most severely damaged, so he was naturally the most restless.

"Yes, yes, Mr. Gray is too polite."

The other two people echoed, and the three of them looked at each other as they spoke, and they all understood what each other meant.

The three of them asked their servants to carry boxes and wooden boxes in from the door almost at the same time.

Gray sat calmly on the main seat.

Although he invites others to be guests, nobles are nobles.

Nobles don't need to bring gifts to merchants' gatherings. After all, just being able to go is the best gift in return for the merchants.

But it's different when businessmen come to the nobles' mansions.

Whether they come to your door on their own initiative or are invited, a meeting gift is indispensable.

Soon, in front of Gray, wooden boxes filled with jewelry, spices, precious leathers, fine porcelain and other luxuries were lined up in a row.

From a visual inspection, these are estimated to cost several thousand gold coins.

Of course, the most precious things are the various magic materials and secret medicines contained in those small wooden boxes.

Gray glanced at them and found that they were basically used for warriors and knights to practice physical training or to practice fighting spirit.

Obviously, these three people came prepared.

In just a few days, they already knew about Gray practicing fighting spirit in the castle.

This is normal. There are hundreds of servants and maids in the castle, and Gray has never hidden his cultivation.

Many people in the castle knew about it, so it was normal for the representatives of these businessmen to know about Gray's situation.

Gray took a sip of tea and nodded with satisfaction.

Then he showed a gentler and brighter smile to the three big businessmen.

"If you are interested, I will ask someone to prepare lunch. Tina, put these things away and ask someone to serve the food. I want to have lunch with my new friends!"

Tina:……

She asked the boxes and wooden boxes to be taken away with an expressionless expression, and then looked at Gray with the corners of his mouth almost cracked to the base of his ears.

Seeing the heated atmosphere between Gray and the three businessmen, Tina sneered in her heart.

It was just as she expected.

Gray simply didn't understand how cunning those businessmen were.

Those businessmen are as cunning as foxes.

Gray actually drank and ate meat with them as brothers.

It is estimated that it will not be long before the businessmen are touting it.

Is this guy really solving the refugee problem?

He is clearly trying to make money.

Forget about making money, he looked very happy, without any of the posture or appearance of Lady Anna's husband.

So shameful.

Tina felt all sorts of unhappiness welling up in her heart.

At this moment, the three businessmen saw that the atmosphere was already in place.

Gray's attitude is also very clear and he stands with them.

So they were ready to get down to business.

Harry was still the first to speak: "Master Gray, alas, originally when we met you for the first time, we should have prepared a more generous meeting gift for you, but you also know that those damn refugees have gone too far recently. They have eaten our relief. Instead of being grateful, they led people along the way to rob our property."

"We are also suffering unspeakably. It's not that we have no sympathy, but those refugees are simply born bad. Those untouchables are greedy and violent in nature. They are demanding excessively and constantly harming other people, causing a few of us to suffer heavy losses. .”

"That's all. Anyway, we are hiding in the city. No matter how bad the refugees are, they can't hurt us. But in the past few days, refugees have begun to appear in Thorn City."

"Master Gray, you don't know that those damn bedbugs are the best at repaying kindness with revenge. Many cities have pitied them and sympathized with them, allowing them to live in the city to protect them from wild beasts and monsters."

"It was good for them. After entering the city, they not only made trouble every day, but were not satisfied with receiving relief food. In the end, they robbed all the people and merchants in the city."

"They even brutally committed many murders! Master Gray, those are the saviors who helped them get through the difficulties!"

"Those white-eyed wolves actually attacked the benefactors who saved them. Do you think those guys deserve to die?"

"Now there are those bed bugs in Thorn City. We are really afraid that those guys will gather and harm our lives, so we hope that Lord Gray can take pity on the poor people in the city and drive all those damn bed bugs out of the city. Bedbugs should be rotting away in a dark corner of the wild, not disgusting others in the sun."

"If Lord Gray can help persuade Lord Earl to drive those refugees out of the city, our business and industry will soon be restored to what it was before."

"At that time, we will be able to provide Mr. Gray with a generous meeting gift."

Harry said with a smile, and in his words, he had already reduced the refugees to nothing.

The other two businessmen also nodded repeatedly, and they were also observing Gray's reaction.

If this adult can agree, then they can feel at ease.

If not, then they can only give up everything here.

There is no way, if a lord is kind to the refugees but harsh to those who bring wealth and benefits to the territory, then this land will no longer be inhabited by merchants.

They will leave as soon as possible.

And Gray's reaction did not disappoint them.

Gray, who was drunk, was furious when he heard what Harry said. He was slapped on the table right then and there.

"Is there such a thing?! How dare those refugees retaliate!? Harry, I will definitely help with this matter! You are right, it is too dangerous to let those refugees wander around the city!"

Gray burped and continued: "I'll have people drive those refugees out of the city right now!"

"Harry, don't worry, I'll take care of things."

Gray's chest slapped loudly.
