The Lord of Another World: All Wasted at the Beginning, and He Made His Fortune by Taking in the Fem

Aarons couldn't understand why the foreign chamber of commerce was willing to spend so much money to buy those useless things from him.

After thinking about the whole thing carefully, he confirmed an embarrassing fact - he knew too little basic common sense about the Marquisate, the Empire and neighboring countries.

Although the main responsibility for this situation should be borne by the unlucky young master who was excluded and didn't like to study, Aarons couldn't ask him to come back to apologize now.

"Xia Ye, go to the street and find some books for me. It would be best if they were for foreigners, promoting the Empire or the Marquisate. If you have any, buy as many as you can."

After all, this is a border area with neighboring countries, so in the past, a lot of promotional materials were issued specifically for foreigners. However, due to the relatively rough and general content, the Marquis himself did not collect such books.

But now I have to start from scratch and make up for the lessons, so these things are very necessary.

"Are you planning on showing it to the children?"

"I guess so. We need to let the children know about this country as early as possible. Oh, and buy a few introductory books about Warcraft and the like."

It would be embarrassing to say directly that he needed extra lessons, so Aarons used his children at home as a shield.

"I'll do it right away."

"Karin, you should go with her. I can go back by myself."

However, after parting with the two women, Aarons did not return directly to the Marquis's Mansion.

In the few days since he traveled through time, although he has been to many places in the city, there is actually one important place he has not visited.

——City Office.

Even if the Marquis is not here, the civil servants here can stably operate this city with a population of over 100,000. Including municipal facilities and public security systems, almost the entire city's functions are maintained by this organization.

After Marquis Moti gave up his military power a few years ago, the city offices in the territory had almost autonomous powers.

"Those people may not necessarily welcome a poor financial sponsor like me."

However, since the border defense corps stationed in the Marquisate is directly under the imperial royal family, these autonomous towns have no possibility of breaking away from the empire and becoming independent.

The Marquis, who only had the role of the financial sponsor, should have had his power slowly emptied by the two parties. However, because he was a rare level 5 expert, he was able to firmly control the decision-making power of the territory over the years.

The military power, administrative power and decision-making power in the border areas were thus separated from each other, maintaining a delicate balance - until the death of the Marquis.

"Come to think of it, the Marquis must have had a hard life."

The Imperial Border Guard will not intervene in disputes within the territory, and if Aarons wants to inherit this territory, he must first regain the power institutions that truly control the city and surrounding towns.

Looking at the city hall, a magnificent building that was obviously several stories taller than the surrounding buildings, Aarons sneered and walked in with a swagger.

"Hello, what can I do for you... Master Aarons? Why are you here?"

The first floor of the city office looked not much different from the service halls Aarons had visited in his previous life. Some residents were queuing up to handle some business, while others were asking the staff about the procedures.

The female city employee who was in charge of greeting and guiding residents in the lobby recognized Aarons' identity at first sight.

"I'm here to get an ID for my newly hired servant, and I want to ask the person in charge here about the situation."

"Proof of identity... You are the son of a marquis. If you have any questions, just go to the third floor and see the director."

This attitude was a little beyond Aarons' expectations. After all, he had prepared himself to be ignored before he came.

"I'm just going to go up like this? No problem?"

"The director has already told us that if you come, please go directly to him."

Although this was obviously a bit of a privilege, Aarons was still a noble after all. So even if the people around him didn't look at him with such respect, he still went straight up the stairs that were not open to the public.

"What is that useless young master doing here? The Marquis family can't even afford the annual operating expenses of the city office now, right?"

"Who knows? Maybe he wants to scare people with his noble airs."

"Anyway, no matter how he messes around, this place will have to be replaced in a couple of days."

Aarons could hear the residents' discussions clearly, or rather, it could be said that these people were speaking so loudly on purpose for him to hear.

However, Aarons was in no mood to care about these trivial matters. He was busy analyzing the situation with his experience from his previous life, and at the same time thinking about different countermeasures.

The city hall of this city might have other plans.

"Is the director here? I'm Aarons Moti, and someone down there asked me to come up."

"It's Master Aarons, please come in."

Because the door of the director's office was open, as soon as Aarons walked to the door, the serious-looking middle-aged man who was sitting inside took the initiative to greet him.

The man had a square and resolute face, and his clothes were meticulously groomed. Although Aarons had no combat experience, he could still sense a faint aura from the other party.

——This director is probably also a powerful man with considerable strength.

"Master, please take a seat. I'll ask someone to make tea."

"No need... May I ask your name, Director?"

"My last name is Chen. If you have anything to ask for, just tell me directly."

The other party's attitude really made Aarons a little confused.

Now that the Marquis is dead, all places are busy cutting ties with the Marquis's family and secretly expanding their own power in preparation for dealing with the next noble who will move in.

But why should people here be so respectful to an incompetent and down-and-out young master?

"I am here to get two identification cards for the new servants in the house, but they are not here at the moment."

"No problem. I'll send someone to your house to register and handle it tomorrow."

"There is one more thing... Never mind, I won't keep you in suspense. Director Chen, what do you think of the recent rumors and the current situation of the Marquis family?"

When Aarons realized that ordinary probing might not be of much significance, he simply revealed his intentions.

Anyway, no matter what the result is, it will not exceed the bottom line he imagined.

"Haha, I guessed that you would come to us to ask this question these days. You are really not the ignorant and dull person who knows nothing about the world as the rumors say."

"How do you know? Maybe I just came here to hang out on a whim."

"Ten years ago, when I was still serving the Marquis, I once told him that the young master was not incompetent."

After hearing this, Aarons was even more surprised.

——Could it be that the director of this city office is one of us?
