"It's that simple?".
This question was asked by Viscount Baihua, but the next moment, his expression changed drastically.
Self-defense and counterattack are not one thing, but two things, which can be divided into self-defense and counterattack. Self-defense is in one's own territory, but counterattack can be fought back!
Viscount Baihua quickly said to Count Moriel:
"Earl, please don't fall for his trick. This guy is cunning and cunning. His number of soldiers exceeds the regulations of the kingdom!".
Xu Kuang said:
"The kingdom stipulates that a baron can have up to 10,000 soldiers, right? I always only have more than 5,000 soldiers, so why is there such a violation?"
Viscount Baihua said to Xu Kuang with certainty:
"Impossible. The number of soldiers you dispatched that night must have exceeded 15,000. They must have been hidden by you!"
Count Morel immediately looked at Xu Kuang.
At this time, Baron Wayne spoke:
"Earl, in fact, I also sent troops that day, almost three thousand."
"I also sent more than a thousand troops.".
"I am also over a thousand.".
"I also……".
…
Moriel had nothing to say. Several families jointly sent troops, but there was nothing they could do.
Moriel asked:
"Why do you want to help Xu Kuang?".
Ren stepped forward and replied:
"The prosperous business in Mushroom Ridge has also brought us a lot of benefits. For example, I made some money by leasing carriages and horses. The other lords probably have the same reason, and now there are people who want to bully others. , forcibly cut off our financial resources, we will never agree!"
"Never agree!".
…
Ren's last words were yelled, which startled Moriel.
Moriel looked at Viscount Baihua and asked:
"Do you have anything else to say?".
Viscount Baihua smiled bitterly and said:
"I was threatened like this by this group of people, what else can I say?".
Moriel no longer had any good impressions of Viscount Baihua. She just sighed and said to Viscount Baihua:
"What I said is not the decree of the kingdom. Xu Kuang was supposed to go to Oksa City to find the Noble Management Department to resolve the matter, but he found me and turned this matter into a minor matter. idea, so I don’t want to make things worse, do you understand?”
Viscount Bai Hua had already cursed in his heart, but his face still looked respectful.
Xu Kuang stared blankly.
Moriel said to Viscount Bai Birch:
"I hope this is the last time."
She turned around again and said to Xu Kuang:
"I can grant you the right to fight back in self-defense, and I hope you can use this right prudently."
Xu Kuang immediately knelt down to thank him.
When the other lords saw this, they all knelt down and thanked him.
Only Viscount Baihua was left standing stupidly.
Moriel quickly helped all the lords up.
Xu Kuang said at this moment:
"Your Excellency, you are wise. You have been traveling all the way and haven't had a good rest yet. Why don't you come to Mushroom Ridge to have a rest and experience the customs and customs of Mushroom Ridge?"
Moriel didn't refuse, she just said:
"Don't forget to prepare some hot water for me. I haven't had a hot bath for several days."
When Jenny heard this, she immediately left quietly to make arrangements.
Xu Kuang directly led Earl Moriel to start walking into Mushroom Ridge, and all the lords quickly followed. For a while, only Viscount Baihua was left here.
Viscount Baihua looked at Moriel with sorrow on his face, not knowing what to say.
Anyway, he lost this battle.
He retrieved his horse and left without looking back.
…
Earl Moriel came to Mushroom Ridge and was stunned by the things in front of him.
He looked at everything here, which was full of novelties. He immediately put up the count's music and asked Xu Kuang to take him around.
Baron Wayne looked worried and didn't dare to say anything. Ryan understood. He gave Wayne a reassuring look and then sent his men to call Hathaway.
Wayne was relieved and glanced at Ryan gratefully.
Xu Kuang didn't notice the two people's little moves, and began to introduce the specific situation to Moriel.
Moriel saw the wholesale market and asked:
"Can I also come here to sell goods?".
Xu Kuang said:
"Of course, and I'll reduce your tax."
In this world, nobility's property does not need to pay taxes to the kingdom, and there are also land annexations. The proportion of people in each class and the per capita assets have become two opposite pyramids. Due to the rarity of the three professions, no one dared to rebel, so the kingdom existed abnormally.
After hearing this, Moriel looked happy, and then asked worriedly:
"No problem?".
Xu Kuang smiled and said:
"No problem, if your goods are what we need, we can also purchase them first."
After hearing this, Moriel quickly asked:
"Do you want wood?".
Xu Kuang pointed to the vast construction site below and asked:
"what do you think?".
Moriel was a little excited.
Little did he know that Xu Kuang was even more excited. With Moriel as a living sign, this area was completely connected.
However, the current productivity of Moguling is not enough to supply the entire region. It is far from enough. They must also expand production capacity.
This requires more people, and Xu Kuang has more ideas in his mind.
Moriel sold several more products to Xu Kuang, and Xu Kuang accepted them all.
Xu Kuang's reason and idea are very simple. Not to mention that these goods are in short supply in Moguling. Even if they are not, what's the point of spending some money?
When Xu Kuang saw Hathaway, he quickly pulled Hathaway over and introduced to Moriel:
"This is our Director of Industry and Commerce in Moguling. She is responsible for obtaining licenses for your industry, quality supervision, order management, and pricing power."
Moriel looked at Hathaway in surprise and asked:
"It's amazing that he became such an important official at such a young age."
Hathaway laughed:
"You are also amazing, managing such a large territory in an orderly manner at such a young age.".
Xu Kuang was still smiling at first, but he stopped laughing.
"Fuck, something is wrong!".
When Hathaway said this, wasn't she just reminding people that their father died early?
Xu Kuang quickly took over the conversation and said to Moriel:
"What other goods are there in your territory? Why don't I open a Moguling Trading Company in your place and inspect the goods in your territory on the spot. As long as they are what we need, we will accept them all according to the order."
Xu Kuang looked at Hathaway. He was also a little nervous, fearing that something shocking would come out of this girl's mouth again.
Moriel nodded and smiled:
"Of course I agree, everything is up to you."
Xu Kuang gave Count Moriel a thumbs up.
He has made up his mind to build a single-cylinder tractor as soon as possible. As for diesel, he can use alcohol to replace it for the time being. If that doesn't work, there is a system mall. At worst, he can save some points and exchange them for an oil field.
