1078: Chapter 155, Roll Up_3 1078: Chapter 155, Roll Up_3 After several days of rest at ho, Hudson began to address the accumulated governnt affairs in his territory.
By “address,” it essentially ant just reviewing them, as events had unfolded whether he deed them appropriate or not.
During the war, a massive influx of immigrants had caused various ergencies to arise one after another.
With Hudson commanding the troops at the front, it was simply impossible for him to wait and make decisions.
There were definitely problems, but looking at the overall developnt of the territory, the managent level was still satisfactory, which reflected the training they had received over the years.
Of course, the smooth operation of the Mountain Domain was primarily due to the system Hudson had established.
Once everything had been regulated, as long as the managent wasn’t too incompetent, they could handle issues according to the established policies.
Even in the case of ergencies, they could refer to the contingency plans and take temporary asures.
Regardless of the quality of the solutions, it was crucial that they addressed the issues without causing major consequences.
…
“I’ve reviewed the docunts, and everyone has done well in the past year.
Although there were a series of problems, the overall performance was still satisfactory.
I’ve recorded the rits, and now the most important task for everyone is to draft a developnt plan for the Near East.
By the way, when I was in the Capital, I spent a lot of money to buy the Royal territory in the Southeastern Province.
Jacob, you take so people over to receive it,”
Hudson said with a straight face, making stuff up.
Purchasing territory was naturally impossible.
The Alpha Royal Family was in its heyday, and it wasn’t ti to sell off their ancestral lands.
If it were so poor lands like those in the Near East, then perhaps, by spending more money, the Royal Family might actually sell a few Knight’s territories.
A fertile territory like the Southeastern royal province that generated substantial inco every year was a core heritage asset, sothing you couldn’t just buy with money.
Anyone who believed that and naively ran to Caesar IV to buy land would personally experience what is ant by the Royal fist.
Making sothing up was better than having no reason at all.
Without any reason, why would the Royal Family grant him such a large estate?
This sort of thing couldn’t withstand scrutiny.
Giving a nonsensical explanation earlier was better than having everyone find out about the Royal Family’s deal with the Moxi People and implicating him as well.
Hudson was prepared for exposure by daring to be involved.
In the strategic context of the Near East, he played an irreplaceable role; even if everyone knew, they would just curse verbally.
Perhaps deep inside, they even admired his ability to stir things up with Caesar IV.
Maybe in the next few years, when teaching their children, they would together beco “soone else’s child.”
However, leaking information also required tact.
Since Caesar IV had taken a larger share of the pie, it was only right for him to attract more attention.
They were all insiders; even if they were filled with doubts, everyone forcefully suppressed their curiosity.
In political involvent, the most important thing was to contain curiosity.
One should absolutely not seek to know what one shouldn’t.
“Very well, Duke!”
Jacob responded imdiately.
Everyone was in the sa boat; regardless of how this piece of Royal territory had fallen into their lord’s hands, it was a good thing for all those present.
The stronger the territory, the brighter the future for those dependent on Hudson.
In terms of size alone, the Mountain Domain and Snow Moon Territory combined could match a small duchy.
The population was a bit sparse, but Hudson had already invested heavily.
At present, Ha’s Monster Maturity Potion had beco a highly reputable item on the Continent, boasting a solid reputation even among Different Races.
If Hudson wasn’t concerned about attracting unnecessary trouble, deliberately controlling the output and further diluting the concentration to make its effects similar to the best available maturation potions, he would have earned even more.
People are always more willing to believe within the scope of their own understanding; for the decline in efficacy, Hudson provided an official explanation: the precious ingredients were used up, and replacents were currently being used.
This explanation was accepted by over ninety percent of Alchemists on the Continent.
Being all at the Pyramid Top, how could they admit to being inferior to a newcor?
It must be a matter of the ingredients!
Even if it was for the annual research funding, they needed to spin tales.
As for Ha’s Monster Maturity Potion, its formula had long been deciphered by everyone; they just tacitly pretended to be confused.
The Masters of Magic Potion all knew that the effectiveness of Ha’s Potion ca from easily absorbable Ownerless Energy, but how this quantity was produced boggled everyone.
Extracting energy from Demon Crystals and then artificially injecting it into potions was a practice against the laws of magic.
Each individual was led astray in search of the source of energy, and it was rumored that in order to carry out experints, soone had even gone to great lengths to acquire dragon feces and bear urine…
Then the tragedy began; the effects of Ha’s Potion were never observed, but the side effects were nurous.
…
For the strategy in the Near East, the Nobles of the Alpha Kingdom were once again caught up in the whirl.
Even if only junior sons and collateral relatives went this ti, the actual commitnt from each Major Noble was hardly insignificant.
High risk often ca with high returns; risking the clan’s entire fortune wasn’t an option, but venturing a portion of their strength was still worth the gamble.
This confidence stemd largely from Hudson’s military exploits.
Lord Ha had never lost against the Orcs; it was just a matter of how great the victory would be.
