Blessed by abundance, be a Terran curse

"Your idea makes me curious why the Black Crown didn't choose you a few years ago."

After hearing the young man's plan, Huafalin was speechless for a moment. How could a noble really care about his people?

Don't the nobles in this land think that everyone must be grateful to them as long as they reduce taxes a little bit?

You are a feudal noble, and you still care about the slaves under you?

"That's why I'm different from these nobles. This is also the mission He entrusted to me."

Huang Cao sat in the big rocking chair on the balcony, basking in the sun, and spoke slowly, while taking a sip of the black tea that he had imported from Victoria through trade.

Very comfortable~

This is the life of an aristocrat. You only need to manage the small things around you and you can make a lot of money and have people serve you.

As for work, just leave it to a trustworthy housekeeper.

"You seem to be living a comfortable life." Huafalin pulled her maid outfit, brought a small chair from the side, sat in the shadow of the ceiling, and read quietly.

This female costume is very disrespectful to her. There are a total of twenty-one maids in the castle, including the head maid.

But only her women's clothing covered her entire body tightly, with almost no skin exposed except for her head, neck and hands.

It’s not that it’s not pretty, it’s just treated a little differently.

In response to this, someone did not comment, but just pointed at the maid who was still cleaning downstairs.

Because he was looking down from above, he could easily see the difference between Huafalin and the other maids.

That's a huge difference.

"Hey, hey, stop biting me for no reason. Okay, okay, I ordered the medical equipment you wanted yesterday. It should be shipped from Victoria in a month."

"I guess you ordered this batch of medical equipment with my salary..." Hua Farin opened her mouth and wiped the saliva off Huang Cao's neck with a handkerchief.

Hearing this, Huang Cao showed a look of deep sorrow and anguish. "What are you talking about? Who do you take me for? Although your salary is very high, ten gold coins per month, it is ten times that of other maids."

"But the price of this batch of medical equipment is equivalent to your entire year's salary. Do you think I'm such a bad person?"

"I'm sorry..." Realizing that she had said the wrong thing, Huafalin's face flushed slightly, and then she stood up and put her hands on the boy's shoulders.

"Well, Master, would you like your little maid, Warfarin, to rub your shoulders?"

"It's rare that you don't want to bite me, so don't pinch my shoulders. You probably can't pinch my shoulders either. Just lean on my arms and use me as a pillow. It's been a long time since I last took a nap, maybe several years..."

It is a sunny day today. It is a good time of spring now. The breeze is a little chilly, but the sunlight shines lazily on our bodies.

This is a great time for a nap.

Huafalin's voice was as soft as a mosquito's. She hummed softly, then lifted the maid's skirt and lay in Huang Cao's arms.

A girl's blush speaks louder than words, although sometimes it's not because she's shy, but because she's been mad at someone.

But at least during the time that this century-old vampire spent with the young man behind him, Huafalin felt for the first time that she seemed to be truly alive, and there seemed to be a warmth called home around the young man.

Huang Cao's calm and regular breathing was like hot wind blowing over rocks that had long since become hard, gently patting Huafalin's already blushing cheeks.

No matter how stubborn a rock is, it will eventually be broken by wind and sand. What's more, some rocks are not as hard as they appear.

Please support my new book, please vote and the author will do anything for it!

Chapter 22: What if I accidentally drain the ore?

After a few days of such carefree life.

Someone thought he could just lie down for two or three years before getting up to work, but it didn't take long for the development of his territory to run into problems.

There is no metal ore underground in his territory...it can even be said to be scarce.

Even the source stones for future industrial development are in extreme shortage.

"I seem to have accidentally sucked up all the Originium here."

Huang Cao and Hua Farin looked at the list of missing supplies that was submitted, and the former turned his head away guiltily.

The mineral deposits are indeed relatively scarce, but Originium mines were once ubiquitous in this land. It is precisely because of this that this land could be sold by Theresa at a low price.

However, in order to grow, Huangcao squandered all the source stones in this land. Now this land can be called the most holy land without source stone pollution except for the ocean and snow mountains.

However, future development cannot be separated from source stone, and nowadays there is a lack of basic metal deposits.

Therefore, agriculture cannot take off at all, and due to education problems, the Sarkaz people generally do not know how to manage farmland.

The food for the town residents used to come from the store opened by Huang Cao. Those who originally wanted to farm were too lazy to do so after seeing the stable food supply.

What's more, they are all former mercenaries and don't know how to manage farmland at all.

"That won't do. Looks like I have to teach them myself."

At least the most basic smelting and planting techniques should be popularized, so that if iron farm tools break down, there will at least be a place to repair them.

No, these people were mercenaries.

He should be able to maintain his weapons, so why can't he maintain his farm tools now?

"As long as the weapon is sharp, strong and practical, it's fine. Killing people is not like killing stones. There are many tricks involved." Huafalin explained from the side.

And because most of the residents of the territory used to be mercenaries, they would only spend money to buy new weapons instead of choosing to make them themselves.

When they were in the small town, most of the townspeople's income came from the commissions issued by the Demon King.

"If it's a lack of wood or something else, I can still think of a way, but if it's a lack of ore, I really can't do anything."

I can't just spit out all the Originium I swallowed.

Don't even think about it! I finally got my body.

It seems that we must start trading with other countries, or at least increase our Originium reserves first.

If you lag behind, you will be beaten. Strong military force is the fundamental way to ensure the prosperity of your homeland.

Huang Cao could foresee that in the era of rapid development of the Originium industry a few hundred years from now, a large plain without any Originium pollution would definitely become a piece of fat meat in the eyes of various forces.

Kjerag doesn't count. It's a cold and bitter place, and not many people are willing to live there. It's okay to go there for a novel trip.

This piece of land of mine is a real plain!

It can be used to attack and can also be used to escape quickly and far away. It is definitely not a strategic location.

What use do you expect a large plain to have in times of war?

Deliver supplies to high-speed warships?

Yellow Grass's territory accounts for 5% of the entire area of ​​Kazdel. It sounds big, but in reality it is not that big.

The difference between countries is greater than the difference between humans and dogs. The land area of ​​Kazdel is not very large, and this piece of land is not even as big as a small administrative area in Da Yan.

"We need to find a way to connect with other royal courts and see if we can buy some supplies."

"If you keep looking for foreign countries, you'll easily be suspected. Don't let them misunderstand you and waste time explaining yourself."

It is understandable to purchase some advanced medical equipment or other things from other countries. After all, these things can only be used by one or two people at most.

But what are they trying to do by buying large quantities of things like iron ore? Are they trying to rebel?

"Why can't Originium be converted into inorganic matter? It's obvious that organic matter can be converted..."

Huang Cao sighed softly. Perhaps Originium could really be transformed into inorganic matter, but with his current level, he probably couldn't do such a miraculous thing.

It’s better to be normal and focus on production and construction first. There are still some gold mines in the treasury, so we can issue some tax policies by the way.

"It seems impossible to develop industry without Originium at the moment. Let's first develop handicrafts to find work for the people here. Once we have a basic scale, we can discuss taxation."

But he still needs to take precautions first, but he doesn't plan to just tear the roof off.

Agricultural tax and commercial tax will be collected at 5% initially, and will start to be collected after five years. As the territory develops, there will be more tax types.

In the first five years, people here just need to focus on development and don’t need to worry about anything else.

All problems that arise, whether good or bad, should be handed over to the great lord to solve!

After much deliberation, Huang Cao decided to spend some time writing something based on the data in the Originium Library, and first teach his people how to live.

Originally, he wanted to input all this knowledge directly into the plants, letting the words grow directly on the leaves, but the number of words was too large and the arrangement was extremely different.

After finishing half of the book, I felt extremely stressed. Instead of doing this, I might as well just copy it by hand.

Fortunately, as a combination of plants and animals, Huangcao had enough plant tentacles and completed two books in just seven days.

One is called "Basic Agricultural Knowledge Encyclopedia" and the other is called "Basic Metal Smelting Methods"

And then he called all the maids over.

Although Huang Cao pays more attention to the appearance and figure of maids when selecting them, he also pays special attention to their cultural accomplishment.

So these maids are all literate. After all, they are the face of the castle. If they talk to foreign guests in the same tone as a cockroach hundreds of years later, it would be a disgrace to him.

It's just right. Let them master these two books first, and then send them around the territory to impart knowledge.

Huang Cao is not a Sarkaz, so it is impossible for him to teach in person.

These maids are all pure-blooded Sarkaz, they should know better how to persuade their compatriots.

After finishing these things, Huang Cao continued to make some preparations for business development.

Money is money only when it circulates, and wealth can be created only when it is traded.

It seems that trading with other major powers such as Victoria is not feasible at the moment. Now that the war has just ended, everyone is extremely sensitive and easily gets into trouble.

However, I don’t need that many commodities now, so some other minerals will be enough. There is no need to develop it into a large-scale transaction.

There are indeed no mines in my territory, but that doesn’t mean there are no mines in the territories of other royal courts.

I can definitely trade with other Lords of the Royal Court.

Huang Cao just didn't believe it. These high and mighty lords of the royal court and their subjects had no physiological needs such as eating, drinking, defecating and urinating.

There will be another update in the afternoon! 2

Chapter 23: Protagonist: Who understands the pain of being stuck in a game?

Huang Cao immediately drafted an article.

He also sent his men to purchase pig iron near the territory.

Why not directly purchase the raw ore?

In this regard, Huang Cao just wants to say that only people with holes in their brains would think of directly collecting the raw ore.

The raw ore is surprisingly cheap, but after buying it you still need to build your own equipment to make pig iron.

The conditions in my territory now are basically the same as those in the Middle Ages. How could such conditions exist?

The population is really too small. Excluding those who farm, there are only one or two hundred people left who can engage in industrial production.

Then another question arises: who will prepare the raw materials for industrial production, such as wood?

Of course, yellow grass can be transformed into wood directly, but what should we do if other resources are lacking after the territory develops?

Treating the symptoms instead of the root cause is not the way to solve the problem.

Besides, I'm here to be a noble, not a slave?!

Trade must be carried out vigorously!

And all these things must be put under your own account!

Thanks to the gold mine, Huang Cao had a lot of money, so buying some basic supplies was not a problem, but how to distribute these things was a big problem.

It’s a bit inappropriate to give it away for free. It’s not that Huangcao doesn’t want to, but because everything has a first time.

After it’s free once, it will be free countless times, and in the end, you will become their dad again.

living comfortably without anybody's help.

Moreover, free things are often not cherished. Learning the skills to maintain farm tools does not mean that you can use them immediately.

So there must be a price. This world is different from the previous ones. The Sarkaz do not have much hatred towards the royal court nobles of Kazdel.

The plot does not give much explanation on what the royal court did, but it is likely that they were quite good to their own people.

Although most of the time this is just a laissez-faire attitude, without any care or oppression, letting his subordinates do whatever they want.

Huangcao didn't believe it. There was not a single place selling iron in the whole of Kazdel.
