133: Chapter 103, Immigration_1 133: Chapter 103, Immigration_1 Following their brief interaction, Hudson’s knowledge of magic was skyrocketing.

As for the experience of magicians in taming magical pets, Hudson completely ignored it.

Overpowering magical beasts with strength and conquering their hearts, was that something humans could do?

If truly put against his own bear, ten Hudsons would not be enough for Belsden to squash.

With a casual slap, this little knight would be knocked down.

No wonder very few could acquire a magical pet, such an archaic capture method, it’s a wonder the efficiency could be high at all.

If one wasn’t killed by the magical beast, that was a testimony of their strength.

To increase their chances, it’d be best to challenge juvenile magical beasts.

If they were unlucky and encountered their parents, that would be a tragedy.Hudson could only express his inability to help looking at Melissa’s envious look.

Not everyone could come across a bear that alternates between “starvation and fullness” from birth.

It’s pretty hard to make proud magical beasts bow to food if they are not starved for a few years.

The entire banquet, the two of them conversed together, leaving Hudson with no time to take care of his chores.

From Qiaomu County to the Magic Academy, from the Southeastern Province to the Continent of Aslante, the range of topics and the breadth of thinking, Hudson was somewhat impressed that he could actually keep up.

Under the envious and jealous gazes of the nobles, Hudson spent an unpleasant evening.

With a good lady, it’s not easy to win her heart.

Unlike the general lady of noble birth, who hardly traveled a hundred miles from home, Melissa had seen the world.

Perhaps in the Southeastern province, Hudson was one of the top-notch, but looking at the entire Alpha Kingdom, he would just be considered not bad.

The most eye-catching were always those from the grand clans, and the fact that Melissa was not blindly chasing them showed she had a brain.

Being clever is a good thing.

The downside is the smarter a person is, the better they are at weighing the pros and cons, which makes them less susceptible to emotions.

Others only saw the two happily talking to each other, but Hudson knew very well that at most they were just ordinary friends at this moment.

It was like a blind dating process where both parties felt the other’s various conditions were ok and could be further explored.

With the end of the banquet, things were temporarily put on hold.

The elephant in the room remained unaddressed.

The parties being mutual is only a prerequisite for the union of two families.

The subsequent affairs need to be weighed by the two families in multiple aspects.

This period could last anywhere from three or five months to two or three years.

Such things will not be disclosed until an agreement is reached by both sides.

Everything returned to usual, as though nothing had happened.

However, Hudson’s business in Qiaomu County did get much more convenient.

Clearly, this was Viscount Orlan extending goodwill.

In less than three days, Hudson had finalized all the transactions.

“One thousand nine hundred serfs, a total population of nine thousand eight hundred and forty-five men, women, and children, five hundred twenty-three cattle, eight hundred seventy-four horses, two thousand three hundred forty-five sheep, food totaling one million three hundred thousand pounds…”

The above was all of his gains.

As payment, Hudson not only dispensed all the goods but also owed the local nobles 34,576 Gold Coins.

Building a towering pile of debt.

However, at this moment, there is not a trace of panic in Hudson, but he seems extremely calm and composed.

The debt doesn’t necessarily all have to be paid in gold coins, other goods of equivalent value can also be traded.

Even though Lord Hudson’s goods continue to receive poor reviews as usual, it still doesn’t affect their best-selling status.

In an era where substitutional commodity value for money ratio is extremely low, as long as the commodity is practical, the nitpicking of details can be completely ignored.

A debt of over 34,576 Gold Coins, by changing the perspective, isn’t this also an increase in a large order?

Initially, the nobles were all accustomed to purchasing pig iron on their own, producing agricultural tools and daily life necessities.

Driven by debt, now everyone can accept the finished products provided by Hudson.

Although it required a slight discount, compared to receiving the payment for the goods in advance, it’s all worth it.

The problem now facing Hudson was how to transport these people and goods back to his own territory.

The local nobles, willing to make this trade, other than the pre-agreed conditions, a large reason was the surplus population locally.

This situation would occur after the domain has enjoyed peace for a hundred and eighty years.

The way domain lords handle it was also very crude and simple.

Directly mandating for a period of time: men and women could not marry, and couples could not sleep together.

Childbirth being suspended for a period, in a few years, the surplus population would balance out again quickly.

In fact, the lords manage more than just this.

Some heartfelt lords have even devised a birth timetable, explicitly specifying the time for couples to sleep together.

Through human intervention, control the time the domain people get pregnant, let children be born avoiding both the season of serfs and cold winters, to improve the safety of women’s childbirth.

Similar absurd orders, there are many.

In this crazy world, there are only things that the noble lords can’t think of, but nothing that they can’t do.

On this front, Hudson, who is short of people, can only be envious.

Not to mention limiting childbirth, if it wasn’t for the lack of supporting infrastructure, he would have enacted laws to encourage childbirth.
