king.

Pushing open the warehouse door is like entering a new world.All kinds of farm implements are neatly arranged and piled up to fill the whole room.

"Your Excellency, please rest assured to choose, here is only a small part of them. If you are not satisfied, there are other styles of farm tools in the back."

Hudson said pretending to be indifferent.

In fact, there are not so many kinds of farm tools that seem to be various.There are so many different styles, mainly from different craftsmen.

In order to provide customers with diversified services, Hudson did not engage in standardized production.After all, they are all handmade, and it is troublesome to unify the standard.

Due to the need for differentiated pricing, the same product is produced by different craftsmen, and there are slight differences in price.

Of course, the price gap has not widened too much, not because Hudson's marketing methods are not good. The main thing is that these products are ordinary farm tools and do not have the ability to pay a high premium.

An embarrassing scene appeared. Looking at the various farm tools in front of him, Baron Kettley didn't know what to do.

Asking him to choose a weapon will definitely be able to speak clearly and logically, and he can conduct a professional evaluation of all weapons.However, choosing farm tools is obviously an over-the-top exam question, and it has never been within the scope of his knowledge reserve.

Baron Kettley, who originally thought that there were only a few kinds of farm tools and could just buy them without much effort, is now entangled.

Go back and bring the old farmer over to pick?
No, isn't that the great Baron Kettley, not even a lowly serf!
Looking at the prices marked on each piece of farm implements, Baron Kettley breathed a sigh of relief.Although I don't know how much the price has been driven up, it is indeed not high in terms of unit price.

Taking plows as an example, the cheapest one only costs 3.5 silver coins, and the most expensive one costs only 8 silver coins.The main factor that determines the price of a plow is not the craft shape, but its weight.

Of course, all the small farm tools stored here, the big ones pulled by eight cows, cannot be bought with a few silver coins.

He didn't sell large farm tools to Baron Kettley because he didn't have enough livestock in his territory, and they were all driven by manpower, so large farm tools couldn't be used at all.

He casually picked up a farm tool and weighed it. Baron Kettley frowned and said: "Baron Hudson, the toughness of these farm tools is really too bad, and the sharpness is not enough. You can't use high-quality iron to carry out Build it?"

Hearing the most amateurish criticism, Hudson rolled his eyes directly.I am afraid that I want to go to heaven if I cast farm tools with high-quality iron.

"If you can afford three times the price, I don't mind using high-quality iron for casting. It's just that it's too extravagant. Farm tools are just farm tools after all, and the performance requirements are far less high than weapons.

The performance of these agricultural tools is completely sufficient for daily farming.If the quality is improved, it is not a farm tool, but a weapon. "

The customer is the master of the morning light. In theory, Hudson will not refuse any reasonable request from the customer, provided that the money must be paid.

As long as he is willing to pay more, Hudson can also let his men forge farm tools of the same level as weapons and equipment.

As for wanting to use the price gap to buy farm tools and go back to smelting and casting weapons, that is simply a dream.

It's not that Hudson is blowing, once these agricultural tools are smelted and cast into weapons, whichever quality must be more touching, it will be as touching.

Unless money is added, the quality gap between farm tools and weapons cannot be changed.In this regard, Master Hudson is very principled.

Lord Kettley, who didn't know how to choose, simply picked what he had seen before.Although the agricultural tools purchased may not be the most cost-effective, at least they can be guaranteed to be usable and will not be pitted too badly
From the beginning to the end, Hudson didn't talk too much, and he was completely allowed to choose. The only restriction was that he could not bargain.

Of course, this is just a small problem. As a high-ranking aristocrat, few like to care about it.Especially for products with low unit prices, there is no accurate pricing template in mind.

In less than half an hour, Baron Kettley completed the product selection, and the efficiency is so high that it can definitely be called swift and resolute.

The customer is so refreshing, Hudson is also very satisfied.This is much easier than doing business in the previous life. Not only does it have low requirements on the quality of the products, but even the after-sales service can be ignored.

Such a high-quality customer made Hudson embarrassed to be too ruthless.After all, this kind of business pays attention to the long flow of water, and the leek roots cannot be dug up at one time.

"There are four hundred and one gold coins, three silver coins and forty copper coins in total, and the change at the back has been wiped off, so it can be counted as four hundred and one gold coins.

There is still a limit of 99 gold coins before the minimum consumption.Why don't you choose some daily necessities, such as kitchen knives, iron pans, shovels...

Everything that can be used in daily life is here.Applying these products to the kitchen will greatly improve the living standards of soldiers. "

Hudson pitched hard.

He didn't mention serfs, because he knew that in the eyes of the nobles, it was a gift for the lowly serfs to survive, and improving their living standards was not considered at all.

Everyone didn't care about the serfs, but they paid special attention to the elite soldiers under them.

They are all meritorious ministers. If conditions permit, it is natural to give the soldiers a better life, otherwise who would be willing to sacrifice their lives?

"Then trouble Baron Hudson!"

Baron Kettley said calmly.

Seeing that the two carriages he had brought were fully loaded, and there were still a pile of agricultural tools waiting to be loaded on the ground, and only costing four hundred and one gold coins, Master Kettley instantly calmed down.

The most needed agricultural tools are all bought, so the rest is no longer a problem. Anyway, he made up his mind to only consume the minimum.

Seeing that he couldn't roll any more wool, Hudson didn't bother to continue wasting his tongue, and directly took Baron Kettley into the kitchen warehouse to choose.

It is said to be a choice, but in fact it is just a show.After hastily collecting the minimum spending amount, Baron Kettley said goodbye and left.

Looking at that posture, it seems that if you stay in the mountains for a while, you will encounter bad luck.

But thinking about what happened to him, Hudson also expressed his understanding.He bleeds profusely every time he comes here, and the Mountain Territory is indeed an ominous place for Baron Kettley.

After sending Baron Kettley away, Hudson found that there was a problem with his business model.The clients for development are all nearby neighbors, and there are none of the big clients outside.

Occasionally, a few businessmen came to the door, selling more than purchasing.It's not that businessmen can't see business opportunities, it's because Hudson's products are too special.

Weapons and equipment are the best sellers, but unfortunately, they don't have any strength, so they can't do this business at all.

Daily necessities such as farm tools and pots and pans are not very risky, but noble lords are used to buying iron and casting it by themselves.

Compared with finished products, self-processing is obviously more cost-effective.Unless Hudson can significantly reduce the price, making it cheaper to purchase finished products than to cast them themselves.

Obviously, this is impossible.Even if Hudson wants to play cheap dumping, he must first complete industrial production.

As far as the production capacity in the territory is concerned, there is no possibility of dumping at all.His only advantage is that he has the largest iron mine in the southeastern province, which can affect the iron price in the market.

The rise in the price of iron commodities in the market is not only due to the local nobles driving up prices, but also a large part of the reason is that he stopped selling iron to foreign countries.

An embarrassing scene appeared.

The profit from selling weapons in a short period of time mainly depends on the needs of the local nobles to expand their armaments.

However, if they want to promote agricultural tools and other daily necessities, the main customers are the nobles of the Northland.As outsiders, they don't have enough blacksmiths in their hands, so they can only purchase in large quantities from the outside world.

There are customers on both sides, and no one can offend. Isn't this forcing yourself to be a fool?

Business is always going to be done anyway.Only with sufficient financial resources can Hudson be able to develop his own territory.

Although in the eyes of the local nobles in the southeastern province, the small soil pockets in the Salam Mountains are bad land, in the eyes of Hudson, they still have high development value.

The grain output can reach [-]% of the outside world, and after feeding the serfs, there is still a certain balance.It's just that compared with the huge investment in land reclamation, the payback period is so much longer by so many billions.

If we change our thinking and develop animal husbandry, there is basically no limit.

The only problem is that everyone is playing with a self-sufficient economic model. There is no fixed sales market at all, and the cattle and sheep raised can only be eaten by themselves.

Maybe big cities have consumer demand, but that's the basic set of local nobles, and it's not up to outsiders to intervene.

A self-sufficient small-scale peasant economy is not suitable for the development of industry and commerce, and a self-sufficient aristocratic economy severely inhibits industry and commerce.

As a last resort, Hudson could only change the development plan of the territory repeatedly according to the actual situation, and until now there is no complete development outline.

There are only two main lines of development that can be determined: find ways to make money; find ways to increase the population.

Only when money and people are available can the territory be fully developed.Only when the economic foundation is improved can we have the strength to promote the development of military power.

It can be said that Hudson's plan is completely incompatible with the starting path of the nobles in this world.

Almost all great nobles rose from the battlefield.Relying on the looted loot from the east and west, he realized the leapfrog development of his own strength.

The rise of every great noble family is accompanied by the birth of a "son of luck".There must be enough luck to complete the original accumulation all the way.

Rubbing his forehead, Hudson, who didn't think he had unlucky luck, resolutely gave up following in the footsteps of his predecessors.

Times have changed.The resource monopoly of the big nobles has already taken shape. Unless there is an external force to break this pattern, there will be no room for newcomers to grow.

No matter how hard it is to fight, the pit has been filled, and there is no room for it.

Either pull one off the horse and replace it; or be pushed down by others, and there will be no place for burial.

After stroking his thoughts, Hudson put aside the messy thoughts in his head and directly arranged for manpower to load the car.

The nobles of the two counties gathered for a feast in Dadir City, and they must go to catch the heat.Doing a good job in this business is definitely higher than the income accumulated for three years of farming at home.

……

The carriage slowly drove out of Beda City, and the wrinkles on Earl Pierce's forehead increased again.The situation on the mainland became more and more complicated, so he had to change his plan.

Originally, he wanted to take the opportunity to teach the nobles who went south to the north a harsh lesson, cut off their backs, and then slowly squeezed them out.

It's a pity that the situation on the mainland has changed suddenly, and the kingdom and the Holy See are on the fence. Now the country must maintain stability.

Against this background, excessively targeting the northern Xinjiang nobles who went south, this kind of thing that destroys unity is obviously not in line with the general environment of maintaining stability in the kingdom.

"It seems that we can only calm things down! I just don't know what those old foxes in northern Xinjiang are thinking. Do they really think that these few pawns can make waves?"

Governor Pierce said to himself.

From the beginning to the end, he didn't take the noisy northern Xinjiang children seriously.For the real power faction in the kingdom like Earl Pierce, only the same powerful forces can be qualified to compete with them.

The transmission of information in the wizarding world can be said to be fast or slow, and it is the thoughts of the big shots that really affect the speed of news transmission.

If it is in time, the news from the capital can be spread to the southeastern province on the same day.But if the big shots are not in a hurry and let the courier run around on the road, it is no problem to delay it for ten days and a half months.

Of course, this is just message passing, not decision time.

In many cases, the message delivery is slow, not because the message is really slow, but because the big people need the message to be delivered slowly to cover their inefficient decision-making.

This time was no exception. Earl Pierce had long received news that the king's messenger had been intercepted by the Holy See, which had caused tension between the kingdom and the Holy See.

But because they didn't think about how to deal with this change, the news was already on the way, and the nobles in the southeastern province didn't even hear the news.

When did he make a decision, and when will the news officially arrive in the southeast province.

If it takes too long, gossip may arrive first.After all, other nobles are not vegetarians either.

Although there is no channel for the rapid transmission of information, the noble children who are away will also take the initiative to inquire about the news.

That's all for ordinary news, and everyone will still find a way to pass back such influential news.

It's just because the news comes from "inquiry", how high the accuracy rate is, it can only depend on luck.

And those who have the ability to deliver news are mostly nobles with some family background.Even if the little nobles at the bottom know the news, it is difficult to send it back in time.

"Da da da……"

The sound of the carriage going forward continued to ring, and Dadir City, a hundred miles away, had become very lively.

The nobles are also strictly hierarchical. Although the time has been agreed, everyone still arrives ahead of time consciously.

Even a group of northern Xinjiang nobles who didn't deal with the governor's mansion very much didn't put on airs at this time, and came over honestly and waited.

Bustling is not the same as prosperity. Despite Baron Sith's hard work, Dadir City is still a city of ruins.

If you want to repair it, it will be difficult to see results without a year or two of effort.

As the host, Baron Sith's recent days are one-"bitter".

The influx of a large group of nobles is equivalent to a lot of trouble coming to your door.

Originally, there was a shortage of food in the territory, and he had to receive such a group of uncles, which made his poor pocket even worse.

This made the Sith a little suspicious, and Governor Pierce placed the mediation location in Dadir City, which was deliberately aimed at him.

In front of Lizi, face is no longer enough.In order to save money, Baron Sith even canceled the welcome banquet.

The daily reception is also limited to providing temporary shelter, water, firewood and some simple daily necessities, and there is no specific food at all.

It's not a question of being stingy or not, but that the lord's family really has no food left.At the very least, he really doesn't have that much food that matches his aristocratic status.

It's nothing more than losing face, anyway, apart from being uncomfortable at the beginning, this thing will pass slowly.

The headache for Sith is that there are not many nobles who are safe, either they are doing something, or they are on the way to do it.

Fighting is just the most basic operation.If you are not careful, it will be a street fight.

Unlike the previous clear camp, he only needs to consider the interests of the nobles in northern Xinjiang.Now as the host, he was born with the duty of maintaining order.

Casualties of ordinary soldiers don't matter, in case a certain noble bumps into each other, or simply dies, he will be held responsible.

In order to maintain order, he not only sent his men out, but even patrolled the streets himself.

It's a pity that this is useless. The northern nobles gave him some face as the nominal boss, but the local nobles simply ignored him.

When picking things, only one side is always enough.As long as someone makes trouble, the other party can only participate passively.

Occasionally, a real fire was played, and even those who persuaded the fight were beaten together.In order to persuade the fight, Baron Sith's subordinates often go out in high spirits and come back with a bruised nose and a swollen face.

There were even a few unlucky ones who were unfortunately killed by mistake during the process of persuading the fight, and died directly.

As a result, there is nothing to say, just endless wrangling.Those who dare to have such a good time are nobles, and ordinary soldiers have the concept of killing for life in their minds, and they know that they can't kill them on such occasions.

There is no way, Baron Sith can only accept this kind of bad luck.The perpetrator is only responsible for losing money, and if he wants the other party to pay for his life, he can only appeal to the noble council.

Don't even think about it, it's time to stop here.The essence of the aristocratic council is to safeguard the interests of the aristocrats, and it is self-evident who the outcome will be.

If you are really angry, you can only find an opportunity to beat the other party afterwards.

Now Baron Sith has only one thought, hoping that Earl Pierce can arrive soon, otherwise he really can't stand it.

In the chaotic scene, not only Sith, the host, was hurt, but Hudson, the "businessman", was also very angry.

Originally, he was just a happy melon-eating crowd, quietly watching the performances of all parties. With the enlarged three-meter body of the Earth Bear, it was enough to calm down the hot-headed guys instantly.

After all, when nobles fight and fight, everyone knows how to restrain themselves and know the severity of the attack.Warcraft is hard to say.

With the current physique of the Earth Bear, he is not a professional researcher of Warcraft, so he can't tell which stage he has grown to.

If he was slapped to death, he would be wronged.

Fake Xiong Wei, Hudson went to the street, it was smooth sailing.

Unexpectedly, accidents always come so suddenly, before the excitement is finished, I become the focus first.

Set up a stall on the street, unfortunately involved in the conflict between the two gangs.

If it's just the stall being smashed, that's nothing. The key is that the guy who hit the real fire picked up a sledgehammer and opened the opponent's head.
