After I became a real young master, I became famous for my bad behavior

Arthur's deep blue eyes revealed the voice-over of "be mentally prepared".

He nodded slightly.

After Arthur's long speech, Sheen roughly knew what Haynes had done now:

In the past, the white sugar consumed by the empire could only be extracted from sugarcane grown in the Haines territory, so naturally the price had always been high.

As soon as Sheen left the Duke's Mansion, Xi Lun proposed the idea of ​​expanding the production of white sugar.

Haines began to grow sugarcane vigorously and became the number one player in producing white sugar.

With this unique advantage, they gained a lot of wealth, enough for them to squander for several years.

This is also the reason why Xilun was adopted by Atolle again, and why his pocket money increased to 40 gold coins——

"Atoller only cares about profit. Whoever can bring profit is the 'heir'."

"Many people rushed to invest in this big industry. But I didn't do it,"

As Arthur said these words, he felt fortunate for his original choice.

"because...

The southern part of the country has a large population and limited land. Vigorously developing the planting industry is tantamount to depriving farmers of the right to grow food.

It will cause trouble one day."

The ending that even Arthur could predict undoubtedly came true four years ago (the monopoly of sugar caused prices to rise, and even aristocratic families could not get sugar!).

But this is not the climax.

Xi Lun took advantage of the fact that Sheen was away in the south for further studies and felt that he could completely squeeze Sheen out of the position of a member of the Haines family.

Over the years, he has been bribing nobles and expanding his own power.

Of course, no matter how many times Xi Lun looked for Everey, the Crown Prince (Everey) would never waver - he knew the truth of "what goes around comes around".

When a shortage of sugarcane caused problems with the sugar supply throughout the empire, Everett mercilessly rebuked Siren for his actions.

Because farmers in the south had not grown food for many years, only wheat from the north of the empire was barely enough to keep the food flowing:

The price of grain throughout the empire has at least tripled!

Avery criticized Siren in this way:

"Because of your rash decision, famine has hit many places!"

"Have you ever thought about the feelings of those who can't even afford to eat?!"

For the sake of the entire empire, the royal family had to stop the sugarcane and sugar business.

Those nobles lost all their investments.

No matter how aggrieved the nobles were, they could not resist the royal decision. They all blamed their losses on "Xi Lun's willful behavior."

This led to a continuous decline in Haynes' reputation.

"The decline in reputation means that people's trust in Haines has declined.

What’s more serious is!

The news that Lilibe is Alex's illegitimate daughter (of lowly descent) spread to the social circle."

"what?"

"The Empire's Star is actually a fake. I was wondering why the current Haines Group is so corrupt..."

"Have you been bewitched by this fake lady?"

"Could it be that the Haines family never gave birth to an imperial star, and they just found an illegitimate daughter with golden eyes to fool us..."

"The empire needs a true imperial star to take the position of Saint, not this lowly illegitimate daughter!"

Just when people were becoming disappointed with the Haynes Group, the politically hostile family Impres Group launched beet sugar.

It came into people's view with its advantages of good quality and low price, and soon replaced the cane sugar that Haynes was proud of.

People say that this is a head-on confrontation between the two ducal families in politics and economics.

But when they were enjoying the show, a piece of news that shocked the whole country came out -

The person hiding behind Impess and providing them with beet sugar technology is none other than the once controversial blond Haynes:

The second son Sean Haynes!

Blonde Haines...

Orthodox bloodline!

The fire of hope in people's hearts was rekindled:

"Master Sheen is the heir who can continue the Haines family. He is the savior who saved the entire empire!"

......

"Stop, stop, stop! Uncle, why do I feel like you haven't gotten to the point yet?"

Sheen raised his left hand with five fingers spread out, and shouted to Arthur,

(Blinded face)

"I remember that the mass production method I used didn't make the north so hot... After all, it seems that I only produce sugar in the north and ship it to the south for sale. Why is the south so hot?"

Is there any way to do this?

Arthur smiled awkwardly at Sheen.

When he heard that Sheen had made so many achievements, he couldn't help but praise her more: it was because he had assumed the obligation of being Sheen's guardian before she had made any achievements.

Arthur is so happy that his "son" can achieve such an achievement~

Of course, Sheen’s “moving cheese” is far more than just the sugar business:

Because of "sugar transportation", Sheen and Scott reached a win-win industrial chain in their third year.

You produce the raw materials and I deliver them.

Scott used his own money (as mentioned earlier, Scott used Impex's "start-up fund" to build infrastructure) to build several express tunnels between the north and south.

This ensures that the sugar will not be of poor quality due to weather conditions and can reach the south as quickly as possible.

"These fast tunnels can not only transport sugar, but also various raw materials produced in the northern part of the empire."

Since these express tunnels were built with Scott's money, it belonged to the Impes family.

Scott's "express logistics industry" is developing in full swing.

(It can be said that the business between Sheen and Scott is 'mutually beneficial' and 'each gets what they need')

Well...

None of this wealth belonged to Atole or Alex, and that was enough to make Arthur proud of Sheen.

"Kid, listen to me, okay?"

Arthur muttered with his eyes half open.

Xien was annoyed by the word "child":

"Gu..."

Arthur clenched his left hand into a fist, put it to his mouth and coughed a few times. He told Sean the current news:

(The dividing line of the empire is an inverted S shape, with Haines occupying more of the western part and Imperius occupying more of the eastern part)

Four years ago, Haines, who was facing poor agriculture and insufficient resources, began to promote hot spring tourism in the western region:

That is, using horse-drawn carriages to regularly carry nobles to the West for sightseeing, so as to make a profit from it.

In order to develop tourism resources in the west, Atole asked the west to increase tree felling.

Arthur shrugged.

It can be seen that he strongly disagrees with his brother's (Atole is Arthur's eldest brother) decision:

"This means that the 'Forest Capital', which was originally capable of producing more than 40% of the empire's oxygen, is unable to absorb so much sunlight."

You say, how can it not be hot?

DUANG!

Sheen thought that if he had the extraordinary strength of Impes and his son, he would want to smash the wall:

"Oh my god, the culprit turned out to be my biological father..."

Arthur still said the most heartbreaking words calmly:

"The key is that it's really bringing a lot of benefits to Haines now. They are still very excited now."

Arthur's body language was saying:

If I were the Duke of Haines, I would not be so stupid!
