The Lord of Another World: All Wasted at the Beginning, and He Made His Fortune by Taking in the Fem
Chapter 184: The Alliance Emerges
However, before Jiangyue could smile any longer, Zhuying, who was originally outside accompanying the princess in combat testing, suddenly flew back to the base at supersonic speed.
"Warning. Dangerous abuse of carbon-uranium reaction detected. Please ..."
"Ah, I forgot to assess the risks first! Sorry, Ms. Spider."
“Feedback. Please pay attention next time.”
Zhu Ying, who detected the dangerous situation, quickly came to the scene. However, when she found out that the people who fired the shot were Jiang Yue and Aarons, she immediately retreated as if nothing had happened.
This criterion is too flexible!
However, with her sudden return, Her Royal Highness the Princess quickly ended her activities and returned to the base with Xia Ye and Karin.
Then naturally, when Clary saw that Jiangyue and Aarons were testing some "new toy", she immediately ignored everything around her and rushed over happily.
"What is this? Was that the light just now emitted by this? Let me try it too!"
"Well, you see there are quite a few outsiders watching over there..."
"Outsider? Whatever. Teacher Jiangyue, teach me how to use this thing!"
Aarons had hoped that Her Royal Highness the Princess could retain a little dignity, but Claire seemed to be more interested in the new toys.
As expected of a student brought up by Jiang Yue...
"Okay, then you guys take your time and have fun. I'll go take care of those people."
Because the honorary nobles who came to visit were basically scared silly, Aarons decided to deal with them personally.
Besides, our own people seemed to be quite frightened as well... Was that shot just now really that shocking?
……
"Thank you very much for taking the trouble to come from afar. Is there anyone who doesn't know me? If so, let me introduce myself again. I am Aarons Moti."
When Aarons met this group of honorary nobles in the conference hall who obviously had no strength and confidence and were almost no different from ordinary people, he realized that his current status and position were so high that he needed to be looked up to.
Have I come this far without realizing it?
"Mr. Marquis, the one outside now... is she the princess?"
"That's right. When you came here, didn't you see the Yumenhua ship parked next to you?"
Although the great nobles unilaterally forced the princess to enter into a marriage contract, her palace ship was still parked in Aarons.
Because such a simple and easy-to-understand fact is right in front of us, no one would be stupid enough to think that this engagement is really valid.
"Mr. Marquis, we...we are just small nobles with no background. Many of us only received honorary titles because of our military merits on the southern front."
"I see... they are all veterans."
After carefully observing the people present, Aarons confirmed this statement - judging from their appearance, most of these people were in their thirties or forties, and almost everyone had obvious scars on their faces.
The very few people of his age were probably the children of minor nobles with fiefs.
"We also know that we are no different from ordinary people, but the great nobles are indeed too bullying... To be honest, after we became nobles, many of us have actually been blackmailed by certain dukes or marquises."
This was the first time Aarons had heard of this.
However, after these honorary nobles explained it carefully, Aarons immediately understood the operating mode of the aristocratic circle.
"We have no territory, nor any very useful privileges. And most of us have been injured in battle, so we can no longer make a living by fighting."
Because they had no starting capital, most honorary nobles could only rely on the nobles of the territory. And the way the nobles treated these people was actually very simple -
Rent land.
"The great nobles would rent us their worthless territories so that we could make a living from them...but most of the places they rented to us were worthless areas without resources or population. Even if we tried our best to run the business, we couldn't earn enough money to pay the rent."
Since most honorary nobles didn't know much about the affairs of the territories, there were many who were deceived into signing harsh contracts. In the end, these honorary nobles were either forced to break the contract due to insufficient income or had their labor fruits plundered by the great nobles at a low price.
This is actually a disguised form of exploitation.
"So you guys couldn't make it anywhere else, so you came to me?"
"It's embarrassing to say... because this border territory is an important trade route, even if you don't have any talent, you can still make money to support your family through business. That's why we came to participate in the Battle of Glory... to seize the former territory of Marquis Moti."
Although these honorary nobles were indeed just small people who acted purely for profit, Aarons did not want to despise them - after all, most ordinary people were like this, and it would be too much to ask them, when even having a meal might be a problem, to consider what aristocratic manners and integrity were.
"Okay, since you all said so. Then I have to explain the situation on my side... First of all, this territory is indeed large, but it is not enough for so many people to share."
Aarons certainly had no intention of dividing his territory with irrelevant people, so he also wanted to take this opportunity to build up his own power - only those who worked for him wholeheartedly could get a share of the pie from him.
"Besides, those dukes and marquises have now seized the right to operate the city. It is not easy to completely overthrow them."
"what do you mean……"
"So if you want to make money from me, you have to work for me."
Although outsiders are not aware of the situation, Aarons now does have a way to make money and test the character of these honorary nobles.
"You may have heard that I now have quite a few fast trucks... Originally I was just planning to do some transportation to make some pocket money, but now that you're here, I might as well change the way I operate it."
As Aarons spoke, he took out a plan he had prepared long ago - he had actually made a detailed plan a long time ago, and now was the best opportunity to implement it.
"I will then set up a chamber of commerce and rent these trucks to you for free in the name of the chamber of commerce. You can use these trucks to transport goods and make money, and I will only be responsible for collecting fuel and maintenance fees."
Although this is likely to lead to technology leaks, Aarons is now considering the long-term.
"There are many opportunities to make money on the trade routes between Cadia and Collins - how about considering it?"
When a way to make money easily is right in front of you, even a person with the strongest willpower can't help but take a few more glances.
These low-level nobles, who had no fixed income for a long time and even owed a lot of foreign debts, obviously could not withstand such temptation.
"Mr. Marquis, are you really going to...give us this opportunity?"
