King

Before the dust had settled, Hudson had already returned to the territory with Melissa. This trip to the Principality of Moxi has been delayed long enough. If it continues, it will be endless!

Wrangling involving disputes over interests can never be resolved in a day or two. Whether or not Hudson is there does not affect the final result.

From the moment the Morsy government declared bankruptcy, the subsequent plot was already doomed. As long as their strategy of showing weakness to the enemy does not undermine the alliance, there will be no big problem.

The debts of old creditors cannot be paid, let alone the debts of new creditors. If the Moxi government wants to pay its debts, it must first have money in their pockets.

There is no doubt that this is impossible. The huge gap of hundreds of millions of funds cannot be raised in a short time.

Regardless of whether all parties can be persuaded to agree to debt relief, the official income of the Principality of Moxi is so much, and it is simply not enough for everyone to share.

If someone takes more, someone must take less.

When creditors started fighting among themselves, the pressure on Morsi's government was reduced. Even in order to fulfill the debt smoothly, all parties cannot let the Principality of Moxi fall.

Back home, Hudson's face quickly darkened. No matter how powerful you are outside, you still have to deal with the naughty kids at home.

The second child is still young and does nothing more than crawl around and can't cause much trouble.

The eldest brother is different. The younger one is four or five years old, which is the age when humans and dogs are disgusted.

He was so lively and unstoppable, coupled with his uncontrollable curiosity, that the entire Lord's Mansion was disturbed.

Normally, things were fine when Hudson was around, but the pain in his butt made Franz frightened and he didn't dare to be too presumptuous.

In the days since he left, the situation was completely different, like a wild horse that had lost its reins and was running wild.

Redman, who stayed behind, had completely different standards for his son and grandson. Although he was not obedient to his words, Franz's ass did not suffer during the days when Hudson left.

If he wanted to beat him up, Hudson didn't know what reason to use. Judging from the recorded daily life, Franz was completely overly curious and wanted to try everything.

It was as if the cautious cells were exhausted in Hudson, and little Franz did not inherit it at all; instead, he perfectly inherited his suppressed curiosity and went further.

"Hudson, that's almost it. If something goes wrong after beating Franz, you still have to apply medicine on him!"

Melissa persuaded tactfully.

Compared to other naughty kids, Franz is actually pretty good. He has been polite and sweet-tongued since he was a child, and he is very lovable. Apart from being too curious and a bit like seeking death, he basically has no shortcomings.

It's just that these shortcomings are the most intolerable in Hudson's eyes!

As a top second-generation player, I am not afraid of Franz’s lack of ability, but I am afraid that he likes to torment. Curiosity killed the cat. If you cannot control your curiosity, you will only harm others and yourself.

When I was young, my ability to get into trouble was limited, so it was not difficult to help clean up the mess. If you were older, the situation would be different.

There are many negative teaching materials on the mainland. Almost every year, aristocratic children get tired of living a good life and organize expedition teams to go deep into dangerous places in search of excitement.

Generally speaking, these expeditions are launched on the spur of the moment without detailed planning in advance and inadequate intelligence collection, and they all end in tragedy.

If you are lucky, your team will suffer heavy losses; if you are unlucky, your entire army will be wiped out.

"No need to apply any medicine, he's so skinny, it doesn't hurt to suffer a little!"

He said it was powerful, but he couldn't help but reduce the strength in his hands. For some reason, Hudson always felt that the whip in his hand was not enough.

In order not to be angry to death in the future, Hudson felt that it was necessary to change Franz's outlook on life and kill this desperate curiosity.

"Melissa, Franz has so much time to get into trouble, but I think he still has too little schoolwork. You can add some cultural classes to him later, so he can't be left idle."

As soon as Hudson finished speaking, Franz started crying more and more sadly. The pain of being beaten is temporary, but the pleasure of increasing schoolwork is long-term.

Even when he was being beaten, Franz couldn't help but protest to Hudson, but it was of no use.

On this issue, Melissa and Hudson quickly reached a consensus and agreed on the need to provide Franz with a complete childhood.

In line with the principle of guarding against the slightest, every time the boss was beaten, Melissa would hold the second child and watch.

The effect was very obvious. Whenever Franz was beaten, his dick became particularly well-behaved.

…

"Hudson, I heard that His Royal Highness the Prince died in infancy. Will this affect the political balance of the kingdom?"

Melissa asked concerned.

Being in aristocratic circles, it is inevitable to get involved in politics. Caesar IV currently had only one son, and his sudden death naturally attracted close attention from all walks of life in the kingdom.

"There will definitely be some impact, but it shouldn't be a big problem. His Majesty the King and the Queen are still young, so even if their eldest son dies in infancy, he can still have another son later.

I'm just afraid that His Highness the Prince's death would be abnormal, and that would cause big trouble. But these are the troubles of the powerful people in the royal capital, and have little impact on us local lords! "

Hudson said it lightly, but his inner thoughts were completely different. The infant mortality rate in Aslant is indeed high, but that is only for the poor.

The eldest son of the king was the crown prince of the country, and he was surrounded by a large group of people. There were no rumors of poor health beforehand. If there had been no accident, how could he have died so easily?

Putting aside everything else, just look at the situation in the mountainous areas. Since the living standards and medical conditions of the territorial residents have been improved, the infant mortality rate in the territory has plummeted.

How many people can reach adulthood safely? Because the time period is too long, there is no way to estimate it yet.

However, the probability that a baby's first day of birth will be his or her end has dropped from one-fifth to one percent.

There are many reasons for such a huge change. Wenpo, who has trained professional midwives, also includes prenatal care.

In the past, there was no such thing as maternity leave. If it is the busy farming season, the mother will still be working in the fields on the day the child is born.

Many children are even born directly in the fields. Whether they can be delivered naturally depends entirely on fate. The only thing everyone can do is to pray for God's blessing.

After Hudson's reforms, the probability of miscarriages and premature births dropped dramatically. Coupled with a professional delivery team, the situation naturally reversed.

A safe birth is just the beginning. If you want to grow up smoothly, you have to face a series of tests.

This aspect is polarized again. The probability that children of small and medium-sized nobles can reach adulthood safely can basically be maintained at 89%.

The survival rate of serf children generally fluctuates between half and two-thirds, depending on the harvest in the fields.

After the Hudson Reform, the situation in the Mountain Territory improved greatly, but the time was ultimately too short. The poor population base of the territory alone could not improve the overall child survival rate of society.

At the stage of great aristocracy, as long as there are no accidents, very few descendants will die young.

After all, this is an extraordinary world, and even if there is only one breath left, it can bring people back.

But in this context, an accident happened to Caesar IV's son. It's hard not to think about it!

…

Ever since the prince died in infancy, the atmosphere here in the Jade Palace has become tense. Caesar IV's gloomy face was written all over: I want to kill someone.

"Why haven't you found out where the sachet comes from?"

Caesar IV asked sternly.

The clues about the prince's death all pointed to a mysterious sachet, in which the guards found signs of being drugged.

"Your Majesty, by the time we found the owner of the sachet, it was already too late. All the people involved in the case were silenced.

We have checked the information of all the people involved. These people have lived in the Kingdom for more than five generations.

…”

The palace minister's answer did not satisfy Caesar IV. His own son was dead, but he didn't even find out who did it.

You must know that the people who can be arranged to serve the prince are all noble children close to the royal family. All information was checked thoroughly before being selected.

Logically speaking, these noble children who have been with the royal family for a long time are the most reliable. However, the current investigation results point to them.

Even now, Caesar IV has not figured out the motive of these people.

Even enemy spies have long since lost their loyalty after lurking for so many generations.

They all have wives, children, and children. You can't bring the whole family to a dead end just because of an order from your old boss, right?

"Continue to investigate closely. Apart from the sachet, there must be other clues that we have overlooked.

No matter who is involved, I will make him pay the price this time! "

Caesar IV said murderously.

The hatred of killing a son is irreconcilable!

If the murderer is not found, he will have trouble sleeping and eating. If you can attack the prince today, you can attack him directly tomorrow.

In fact, the benefits of getting rid of Caesar IV would be greater than killing an ignorant child.

The Kingdom of Alpha has a strict succession law. When the king dies, the crown prince must take over. A human cub in his arms clearly has no ability to handle government affairs.

Without a strong monarch to rule the country, the royal family did not want to lose power. The best way was to do nothing and wait until the king came of age.

The enemy did not take action against him, definitely not because they were afraid of regicide. This crime can only prevent the enemy from attacking him openly, and the methods behind him are completely out of control.

Instinct told Caesar IV that there must be something wrong behind this. Perhaps it wasn't that the enemy didn't want to get rid of him, but that they didn't have the chance to take action against him.

After all, adults are different from children. A poisonous sachet is not enough to achieve the goal.
