Chapter 177

The boulder family is also a famous family in the kingdom of dabion.

As the boulder family, which started as a businessman, the most famous is political investment. The family has a very keen political tendency. No matter what happens in the Kingdom, the family can get great benefits from it. Even when dabion was subjugated, the family only ceded all the territory of several insignificant collateral families, but its strength has not weakened, Even among the powerful marques of the Principality of lane, there are four more powerful marques surnamed boulder.

And the guy who seems to be similar to himself is actually a member of the boulder family?

When did the boulder family become a knight instead of a political investor?

But soon, Sean realized something again and suddenly said, "this is Baron modge?"

"Yes." Before Cassius could reply, the young man nodded sadly, "I'm Baron modge, Elsie boulder I'm very sorry to let you encounter such a thing. It's all my fault. Anyway, please give me a chance to make up for it. "

"Well, it's not your fault." Sean's facial muscles twitched a few times. He really had not seen a lord, or a noble would be so modest. In his impression, people who can own a territory, even if they are not noble jazz, are basically similar to peacocks. Moreover, the Baron can be officially counted into the aristocracy - although it is only the lowest level.

"Uncle hand, he wasn't like this before." Elsie, the young Baron, sighed softly, "maybe there's some reason."

Of course Sean can't get in on such a topic.

"Uncle Cassius, do you know anyone else in Uncle hand's family?" Asked the young Baron Elsie.

"I heard that there was a wife, but she divorced many years ago. Later, it seems that she took her son to the Millennium covenant empire." Cassius thought a little, and then replied, "if adults need it, I can start to investigate immediately."

"Let's investigate." Said Baron Elsie.

"Yes." Cassius nodded, but then said, "but Sir, if I leave you..."

"Nothing." Baron Elsie smiled. "I'm going back to the manor right away, and this Lord Sean is accompanying me. The safety problem should be guaranteed."

"Ah, no, I just..."

Before Sean's words were finished, Cassius came up, took Sean's words with a sincere face and said, "Lord Sean, please! Please protect him! "

"No, I mean..."

Cassius was just like him, silent and capable. As soon as he said this, he turned over and put on his horse. With a shake of the reins, he ran in the direction just chased by the ground dragon. He didn't know where he was going. Only Sean and Elsie were here with big eyes and little eyes. He didn't know what to say.

A moment later, Elsie said, "Lord Sean, I'll trouble you next."

After all, Elsie had turned over and mounted the horse, and his movements were indeed very fluent, which also showed that his riding was indeed more exquisite than Sean. After getting on the horse, Elsie had been riding. When she looked back, she found that Sean was still where he was, so she said, "Your Excellency Sean, what are you doing? Blackstone is right ahead. We have to get there before dark. "

Looking at Elsie's familiar appearance, and Cassius's solemn face just now, as if he was after the Commission, Sean was a collapse. He just came to Blackstone town to buy some black steel stones and go back to build the castle. By the way, he went to play some low-level copies and mix some experience values. How could it be that he wanted to protect the Baron in the blink of an eye?

And it seems to be a bit dangerous.

Wait, the development of the plot should not be like this—— Sean's heart roared wildly, like thousands of grass and mud horses galloping by.

But in the end, Sean went to Blackstone with Elsie.

Of course, along the way, Sean kept his dissatisfaction with Elsie's self familiar character in some silence.

The most is when Elsie says something that he wants to make complaints about, Sean will give a cold or humming. However, as Elsie began to talk about the situation of his territory, Sean finally couldn't help shedding tears of sympathy for him - he always thought that the situation of his territory was very bad. Until now, he finally realized that he was lucky.

"Thank the gods for letting me meet Elsie." Sean's heart was so silent.

In fact, Sean wondered if Elsie Boulder, the young Baron, had offended anyone in the family. Because he was a baron, but the land he inherited was not a baron collar of standard size, but a territory only slightly larger than ordinary barons - only a small town, a small village and a mini manor.

Under normal circumstances, if the territory inherited by a Baron is relatively small, there must be some rich materials in the territory to make up for it. But in fact, this modge collar is not only very small, but also the land is relatively barren.

Except for some limited places, the vast majority of land is not suitable for growing crops. All these limited places are concentrated in the mini manor where Elsie lives - the whole manor covers an area of less than 10 mu, and most of the manor is planted with various fruit trees. The main building is not even a stone building, but a four story wooden building. According to the aristocratic rules, other houses in the manor could not be higher than the main building, so they were scattered in pieces in several other three story houses in the manor, occupying the remaining area in the manor.

In such a manor, only 20 or 30 people can live at most.

As for the other small village, it is really small. There are less than 20 families in the whole village, with a total of 60 or 70 people - larger than the manor where Elsie, the noble, lives. Is this a human thing? Moreover, because the village is too poor, Elsie has completely exempted all taxes of the village. If there was not a prosperous Blackstone town to support his territory income, Elsie would probably become the first aristocrat in the boulder family to go bankrupt due to poor management?

However, Blackstone town is said to be prosperous, because the whole town relies on Blackstone to earn business, but most of the income has to be used to buy food to maintain the rations of the whole town.

And the most outrageous thing is that the stone factory that can produce black steel stone is not a product under Elsie's name!

"The owner of the stone factory is a great beauty?" Sean finally couldn't make complaints about it, not cold humming or sneering.

"No, it's a middle-aged man." Elsie said, "he's as thin as a monkey. I always thought he must be malnourished."

"Is that middle-aged man your lover?" This is not surprising. Many nobles like it.

"How possible!" Elsie was shocked. "The person I like is the little daughter of Duke setros. I'm going to..."

Sean doesn't have to listen to what's behind Elsie. Because if he remembered correctly, the Duke of the kingdom of dabion, who advocated peace with Athena, would die at the hands of his political enemies in another year. He didn't know exactly what happened, but the only thing he knew was that after the Duke died, all the children of his family were demoted to slaves and all their property was divided up.

"So what do you have under the control of the factory director?" Sean couldn't help but finally interrupted Elsie.

"Neither."

"Then is there a huge pit in your head!" Sean finally couldn't bear it. "This stone factory isn't yours. Why do you have to pay the excavation fee for it?"

At first, the black reef grassland belonged to Viscount saofe. Later, after Viscount saofe died, this territory now belongs to Athena, so the mining right of the territory naturally belongs to Athena. If Blackstone town wants to continue to excavate the hard rocks of black reef into black steel stone, it must pay the excavation fee to yasina to obtain the mining right. Otherwise, yasina has the right to send troops to expel or even kill on the spot.

What Sean didn't expect was that the mining rights and expenses were paid by Elsie, a fool.

If the stone factory belongs to Elsie, it's another matter, but this stone factory doesn't belong to Elsie, so why should he pay for this stone factory? Sean's only thought was that there must be some secret between the two, but Elsie denied it, so Sean could only say that Elsie was an absolute fool.

How could a nobleman run a territory like this?

"But this stone factory belongs to the boulder family." Elsie frowned and said, "isn't it normal for me to pay for my family property?"

"Do you have any shares in this family industry?"

"Shares? What is that? "

"That means, do you have any dividends?" Sean really couldn't stand it. "Did you get the profit of gold coins from every order transaction of this stone factory?"

"It seems... No..." Elsie thought for a moment and then said, "the factory director said that business is really bad recently, and no one has come to place an order..."

"Business is bad?" Sean sneered, "did you learn chivalry and break your brain?"

"Hello! I'll be angry if you say that! "

They went to Blackstone town and finally arrived at the gate of Blackstone town in the evening（ To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly ticket at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
