Chapter 721 - 721 23 Planting the Seeds of Continental Turmoil _3

721: Chapter 23, Planting the Seeds of Continental Turmoil _3 721: Chapter 23, Planting the Seeds of Continental Turmoil _3 There’s no need to worry about the Maturity Potion, your lordship is a genius warlock.

Copying the formula might be a bit challenging, but it can certainly be done, can’t it?”

Hudson calmly stated.

The overhead cost of the Mountain Domain is high, but mostly on paper.

The compensation for the domain exchange amounted to 1.2 million gold coins, a terrifying amount to hear, but the actual cash paid out is not much.

Even the newly rising major nobles, Hudson possessed vast resources that many minor nobles coveted, such as: magical beast juveniles, Life Essence…

Now Hudson, not only owes a pile of magical beast juveniles outside, but also owes a lot of Life Essence.

Even the Maturity Potion, he has already promised it out in advance.

The publicly announced compensation is gold coins, but when it comes to actual operations, most people prefer resources.

Except for paying out dozens of Life Essence on the spot, the rest of the resources are external debts.

The creditors can rest assured and wait, and Hudson is even less worried.

The frequent entry and exit of the laboratory also yielded some results.

By copying the process recorded in the formula, Hudson has managed to produce a fair amount of magic potions, such as those within the Life Essence.

Even if all the promised Life Essence is delivered, it’s not a big problem.

But in order to minimize the impact, Hudson intentionally used the collection of raw materials as an excuse to delay the delivery time.

After all, according to the unspoken rules of the kingdom, in order to maintain social stability, all major powers are limiting the outflow of Life Essence.

As a steady nobleman, it’s okay for Hudson to deceive others into breaking the rules, but he definitely won’t make himself the scapegoat.

It just so happens that not everyone is in a hurry to use it right away.

They can totally postpone the time and conduct individual deliveries privately.

After a series of operations, the fiscal deficit of more than two million gold coins has in fact become just over one million.

Compared with the money Hudson made in the last war, it only accounts for a quarter of the total.

With his current cash reserves, he can fully support the high deficit development of his domain.

“Count, if military spending can be controlled, our Finance Department is confident that we can achieve a balance of income and expenditure in the territory within two years!

Over the past year or so, the Government Affairs Department has also taken many measures to optimize the current management mode and standardize the construction of grass-roots teams.

In this reshuffle, we have dismissed a total of seven incompetent officials, arrested three corrupt individuals, and promoted thirteen officials.

We have added three management agencies, namely: the Population and Family Planning Bureau, the Magical Beast Management Bureau, and the Pharmacist Management Bureau.

Currently, these three bureaus are in the preliminary stages of establishment.

Apart from appointing those in charge, the rest is yet to be implemented, expected to be gradually perfected within the next two to three years.

Here are the relevant personnel appointment and removal documents, as well as the planning outline for the new organizational unit, please review!”

As he spoke, Jacob handed over a document.

The contents spanned two pages and clearly implemented Hudson’s minimalist style.

In fact, all notice documents on the Continent of Aslante are very concise.

Perhaps it’s because the cost of parchment is too high, content that can be finished in one sentence will definitely not have a second.

Having briefly read through it, Hudson was not confident in the Government Affairs Department’s proposition to achieve a balance of income and expenditure within two years.

The reason is very simple.

Based on the progress of the report, the artificial canal is expected to be completed by the end of the year and is expected to be navigable by February of next year.

With the Great Canal and an outlet to the sea, how could we not have our own shipyard?

Once this step is taken, spending will truly be like water flowing.

Last year’s fiscal deficit was 320,000 gold coins, which also included the expenses for his own wedding as lord.

When it comes to the next year, the naval plan is out, and just the shipyard project alone could blow through that figure.

Not only are ships expensive, but the magic formations engraved on them are even more so.
