In the following meeting, Hudson had a gloomy face and said nothing, just like a young man who was wronged, holding his anger.

It was not until I got on the carriage that a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of my mouth.

Deep down, Hudson couldn't help but sigh: Earl Pierce is such a great man!

He was still worried. This time he became a pioneer and violated the interests of a group of old nobles. How should he end up next?

At the critical moment, Earl Pierce came out in time to stab him and directly helped him overcome the difficulties.

Now everyone is busy gloating and watching him joke. Even if the resentment in his heart is not completely gone, there is probably not much left.

By the way, he also sold a wave of misery to the king. He fell to this point, but it was caused by doing things for the king.

If Hudson had not been too active in his previous performance and had aroused the dissatisfaction of the old nobles, Earl Pierce's actions would not have been so easy to succeed.

The only regret is that the emerging aristocrats were too timid. Even if Hudson became the first to be a leader, no one else dared to follow up.

Realizing this, Hudson, who originally wanted to establish a foothold in the kingdom as a spokesperson for emerging aristocrats, instantly gave up this idea.

The Koslo family has not shown a nouveau riche's face. The living standards of most people are not much different from those of ordinary noble families.

Without these things, once you encounter monsters on the sea, you will be destined to be destroyed by the ship in an instant.

"Master, no matter how frugal the Koslo family is, some essential expenses are still indispensable.

If you want to further consume their financial resources, it is probably not easy to start!"

No matter how generous Earl Pierce is, he will never act as a sucker and take all the taxes to the southeastern province.

However, in recent decades, the Dalton family's maritime industry has made rapid progress, gradually monopolizing most of the overseas trade in the southeastern provinces, and by the way, it has also created its own shipyard.

Of course, the most important thing is that the consequences seem to be serious, but the actual damage is not great.

If this information had not been verified by many parties, Earl Pierce would not have believed that Hudson could make money so much.

The only thing that costs money is probably magic experiments, but as a magician, there is nothing to say about being keen on magic research.

The Southeast Province is indeed rich, but it cannot withstand the continuous struggles. The little nobles who had just recovered from the war are likely to have a hard life next.

You seem to have forgotten that their relatives are spread all over the province. With so many relatives, there are always a few who can't hold on.

"Butler, although Hudson is a bit radical in the construction of the territory, he is still very frugal in life.

With a few more years of buffering, the Koslo family has gained a foothold, and it will be difficult for them to get out of here.

In addition, Caesar III was staring at it. If the king was not careful, he would be unable to take the blame.

Perhaps Caesar III is really unable to hold on, and the crown prince has been particularly active these days.

According to traditional distribution, the tax share that the wealthy southeastern province needs to bear is at most 10 to 15%.

It is estimated that more than one-third of the small nobles in the province will have more or less financial problems. They either reduce daily expenses or rely on debt to make ends meet.

"Ha ha……"

Even if Wright County is a big county, the share that needs to be borne is very limited, and the remaining share must be borne by a group of nobles in the province.

However, the faint disdain between his eyebrows still exposed his deepest contempt for Hudson.

The issue of repayment tax can be supported for several years by selling spoils.

In the past, the Dalton family dominated the country, and this kind of thing happened, so everyone could only endure it.

There are only a few hundred thousand gold coins left, and it is undoubtedly worth paying such a small price to win people's hearts.

When Hudson heard the offer from Crown Prince Caesar, he wanted to say: Just giveaway.

“Just do it at your highness’ price!

However, the amount of funds involved in this transaction is too large. I can't afford so much money for a while. I wonder if the royal family can accept the physical offset?"

Survived by scattered orders, but the performance of Berkshire Shipyard is very touching.

Today he invited this great nobleman to the banquet and tomorrow he invited that great nobleman. Even a group of middle-class nobles did not forget to win over and show goodwill.

I just don’t know which shipyard is sold by the royal family and what the price is?”

When everyone is short of financial resources, who else can do anything to help the small nobles in the entire southeastern province besides the Dalton family?

"Since your Count is my own, I won't speak out. The shipyard that the royal family wants to sell is in the southeast province, which is just convenient for you to relocate.

With shipyards and sailors, do you want to participate in the maritime trade?

“The plan failed and it also succeeded!

Hudson was still too young after all. He lost himself after being praised for a few words and actually regarded himself as the spokesperson of the military.

...

Even though he knew that the repayment tax was inevitable in the absence of the Alpha Kingdom, it would not affect Hudson's complaint.

"Don't worry, the royal family's promise will definitely be fulfilled. We will not transfer any of the experienced craftsmen and ship workers in the shipyard, which will definitely satisfy you!"

The "repayment tax" seems to be huge, but the Kingdom of Alpha has 32 provinces. Even if the newly recovered seven northern provinces are excluded, there are still 25 provinces to share them together.

You should know that the "repayment tax" is not only levied for one year, but will last for many years, and the amount is still more than one year.

After hearing the old housekeeper's answer, Earl Pierce frowned.

When he returned home, Earl Pierce suddenly restrained his smile. Obviously, he, the winner, was not as excited as the outside world imagined.

The old butler Gadri asked with concern.

The critically ill king has greatly reduced his deterrence to everyone. Some methods that he dared not use before can be used now.

The trouble is the repayment tax. With him, the boss, taking the initiative to propose it, it is certain that the share assigned by the southeastern province will definitely not be low.

There are quite a lot of newly reclaimed land, but unfortunately it is not on the kingdom's record. It is almost impossible to expect Hudson to cooperate with the inventory.

"Lead the way forward!"

The war bonds in taxes are easy to solve, but the Dalton family can only take them in one bite. Just think it is a financial investment, anyway, it is a guaranteed deal.

The situation has changed slightly now. Although such a small thing is not enough to make everyone take the risk of rebelling against the past and supporting the Koslo family, there must be comforting that should be.

However, this is limited to some ordinary trophys or unowned trophys, and some trophys that need to be returned.

The Berkshire Shipyard, which lost a large number of orders, had their lives getting worse day by day. If it weren't for the power of the royal family, they would have been squeezed out by the Dalton family.

A few craftsmen have to propose it alone, and his strong family spirit is really hard to attract him.

This is also the reason why Hudson carts pulled trophy at home after the war ended. It was not that there was no way to sell it, but that they were afraid to sell it.

The strong family of the great nobles has been accumulated so slowly. It is not the same as the light cannot be seen in the future.

In normal times, I don’t like to hold banquets or be obsessed with various activities.

Earl Pierce said with a headache.

The maid's crisp voice interrupted Hudson's plan.

At its peak, it was once one of the three major shipyards in the Kingdom. However, as the Kingdom's strategy shifted to the mainland, the importance of coastal defense continued to decline. After the naval orders were gone, it had to turn to the civilian market.

Unfortunately, this is impossible. If you really do this, you will have no friends.

The magician team of the Koslo family obviously does not have the ability to portray advanced magic arrays for ships, and they will inevitably ask for help from the Magic Association at that time.

After saying that, the two looked at each other and smiled.

Prince Caesar was ready, and after Hudson hit a wall everywhere, he turned around and asked the royal family for help and took the opportunity to accept a younger brother.

Who made the shipbuilding technology in the mountains be so much ahead of canoes?

It is definitely no problem to build a three-plate ship, and you can build a five-plate ship even if you work hard. As for ocean-going merchant ships and warships, you may not be able to find out if you work hard for another hundred years.

"Master, based on the information we have collected, Count Hudson has obtained at least four million gold coins in this war.

After hesitating for a moment, he still didn't bargain.

"Your Highness, I've lost a lot of money in this transaction. You have to sell a few senior craftsmen to give me compensation!"

This is purely a dream!

In the view of Prince Caesar, building a ship is very simple, and the difficulty is to portray a defensive magic array for the ship.

It is said that he has a good relationship with major chambers of commerce. The remaining spoils that cannot be cashed in time are likely to be monetized overseas through the channels of these people.

The Koslow family has no foundation and is basically unable to help financially. Let’s see how many benefits Hudson has gained in the war.

If this continues, it is only a matter of time before Berkshire Shipyard goes bankrupt.

"Sir, the Crown Prince, please come over and discuss matters!"

It is not scary to just make money. The key is that he not only does not spend money by himself, but also restricts his tribe members from being frugal.

Now we can only wait for the impact of the repayment tax to ferment further, and after consuming the last financial resources of the Koslo family, we will take further actions and continue to put pressure on them!"

"Then thank you for your care!

They can ignore the neutral nobles, but they can’t ignore the relatives and friends who support them, right?

It is too risky to directly use the Koslo family, but setting up a plan against these little nobles is much simpler."

Even if you have a strong strength in your hands, you still have to admit defeat when you need to be afraid.
