Doomsday Code

Based on the estimated revenue for the first quarter alone, he earned a staggering 300,000 gold coins. And this was just the beginning. He only covered a few surrounding kingdoms, and those kingdoms that were too far away were not covered yet.

Of course, Huidun, who took the lion's share of the profits, was also a little afraid that Bruce would turn against them because of this amount of money. After all, it was too much money and too fast.

Huidun has such concerns because of his lack of confidence caused by his own weak strength. Comparing his current strength with Bruce's, he is actually still at a disadvantage.

But Chen Cheng didn't have these worries. In the era of financial prosperity in his previous life, although he was just a researcher, he had seen and experienced a lot.

To put it bluntly, the fundamental reason why Bruce can make such huge profits now is that he has good products, and the key lifeline of his products is in his own hands.

Unless he is really willing to give up the huge benefits, it is impossible for him to turn against Huidun.

In order to prevent Huidun from having internal exhaustion, Chen Cheng told him that with Bruce's cunning, the profits he could reap from the sale of these high-quality cloths would definitely be much greater than theirs.

And according to Chen Cheng's estimation, the first few quarters were for market development. Because of the competitive products and the connections of the Sto family, there would be an upward trend every quarter.

Excluding the cost of market development, the estimated final profit could be between two million and three million gold coins, and if nothing unexpected happens, the annual revenue in the future will be around two million.

At the same time, according to the agreement, the dyeing factory opened by Bruce in Huidun Territory can bring tens of thousands of jobs to Huidun Territory, and the taxes collected will be a considerable amount of government fiscal revenue.

In this way, at least the government finances of the entire Huidun territory will no longer need Huidun to pay money to fill the deficit, and his money can be used to develop his own strength.

To be honest, Huidun almost fainted when he heard Chen Cheng's estimated profit.

Although he had little contact with the kingdom's fiscal revenues due to his status, he heard from others that the kingdom's annual tax revenue was around 20 million gold coins, and the income from his cloth business alone was one-tenth of the kingdom's total annual tax revenue.

And these are only his share of the profits, not including the profits that Bruce shared from opening up the market and the additional profits from the market that Bruce opened up with cloth as a stepping stone.

If you really add all of these up, it will definitely not be less than four million gold coins.

And this is just the profit after deducting the costs. If the costs are really added in, the income would be at least five million.

To be honest, after the surprise, Huidun was only shocked. He was hit with so much money at once and he really didn't know how to spend it.

However, Chen Cheng had already had an idea, and in Chen Cheng's eyes, this amount of money was really not enough to spend.

Of course, Chen Cheng hasn't told Huidun all this yet. After all, he has to keep Huidun happy for a while. Otherwise, if his plan is revealed, Huidun will become a pauper again.

Then Huidun looked at Torre with a smile and said:

"This earl will never forget you. Now that I have money, I should get back the arm you lost because of me. I have already explained this to Brusto and asked Bloom Magic Tool Shop to make a custom arm for you with 50,000 gold coins."

After hearing this, Torre immediately knelt in front of Huidun, tears streaming down his face, and said:

"Torre swears to be loyal to His Royal Highness the Count for the rest of his life. If he breaks this oath, he will be punished by heaven and earth."

Torre knew that the only way he could repay Huidun was with his own life.

Although he lost his arm because of Wisdom Shield, according to the traditional concept of the mainland, as a knight of Wisdom Shield, he should protect Wisdom Shield without hesitation.

Often, disabled knights like him would eventually be given a sum of money by the nobles they were loyal to, and then live out their retirement at home.

There are very few people like him who are not only not despised, but also willing to spend so much gold coins to make prosthetic limbs for him.

Because even if he had prosthetic limbs and could restore his fighting spirit completely, his strength would not have much room for improvement.

At the same time, if you use this money to recruit knights, you can at least recruit several warriors of the same level.

It can be said that this is a very clear account, so most of the nobles would not choose to spend this money in vain.

Huidun helped Torre up, and then said in a somewhat depressed mood:

"Before, I, as a count, was too poor to come up with any money.

And the last time it happened was also because of my stupidity. It was all because of me anyway, but teacher... Alas!"

Speaking of this, Huidun couldn't help but think of his dead teacher. Although Achilles was not as strong as Penbes now, in Huidun's heart, the kind old man would always be invincible.

After talking about this sad story, the whole car fell into silence.

"But fortunately, I have you, Brown. I am really grateful to you for helping me."

Huidun said to Chen Cheng sincerely.

To be honest, seeing Huidun's sincere eyes and the gazes of other people in the car, Chen Cheng was indeed a little nervous.

Seeing this, Chen Cheng coughed and broke the silence and said:

"The first step has been taken. I wonder what Jamil and his team will do next."

That special emotion was interrupted by Chen Cheng's words, and then Huidun frowned and said:

"This old fellow Jamil is very scheming, and today the Knight of Light from the capital also arrived at the territory. I really can't imagine what tricks this old fellow will come up with."

"Let's not worry about him for now. Xiao Dun will be here with his knight guards in the next two days."

Huidun was still a little excited when he said this. Although he knew that only sufficient strength could guarantee his status, the fact that the king could send his own knight guards also demonstrated his royal status. This was a breakthrough after all.

Seeing Huidun's excitement, Torre swore in his heart that he would not relax even if the guards came, because no one knew what other thoughts these knights who were transferred here would have.

At this time, Huidun in the carriage was thinking about the pioneering mission that Jilong told him before leaving. At the same time, he was also recalling the monster attacks reported in the territory in recent years. After this analysis, he found that this situation was indeed increasing year by year.

But this is not good news for Huidun.

Although no one knows how many monsters there are in the Namu Forest, the fact that this forest directly separates the connection between humans and elves is enough to illustrate the danger involved.

Over the years, some people in the kingdom have thought about reestablishing contact with the elves, but even if the epic masters of the Magic Guild go deep into the forest, they would inexplicably return to the outside of the forest the next day.

Of course, they have thought about becoming legendary demigods, but their Kingdom of Moss is small and such big guys simply don't care about them.

But if you ask the kingdom to take out resources to invite these big guys, they feel it is not worth it. After all, it will only block the connection between the two tribes.

Even if the two tribes are connected, due to various reasons, there is not much communication between the two sides, and the benefits that can be generated are not great.

While they were thinking about their own things, the carriage had arrived at the woods outside the city gate, and the Knights of Light were cutting down trees to build a camp.

Hearing the noisy voices, Chen Cheng could not help but lift the curtain of the car and look outside, and then he saw those armored knights were building a camp in an orderly manner.

Huidun also leaned over to take a look and then smiled coldly.

Because according to the laws of the kingdom, the current Huidun territory can be said to be Huidun's private property, and these mountains, forests and trees are also his property.

And now these guys are cutting down trees and building houses here without his permission, which is simply robbery in front of the owner.

In fact, if these people did this in the territories of other nobles, it would be nothing, because most nobles have good relations with the church. Even if they did not get permission in advance, most of the nobles would just laugh it off afterwards.

But now they are in the earldom that has a very bad impression of the church and even hates it, so their actions are undoubtedly seeking death.

When Torre saw this situation, he was about to get out of the car to scold these people, but Chen Cheng and Hui Dun held him back.

"Don't act rashly. If you go down now, you will only alert them. Let's go back to the city and call in the city guards to control this place first."

Huidun smiled coldly.

They were just discussing the previous incident with Tenglong Ku Mu, and now these Knights of Light were caught in the crossfire, which immediately aroused Huidun's inner anger.

And he was not a fool. He knew that these so-called knights of light who came here under the banner of expelling darkness were here to deal with him.

It just so happened that these people were cutting down trees and building camps here without his consent, which was a violation of the law. He could take this opportunity to drive these guys away.

This would also be a good way to deal a blow to the church's recent growing momentum, and at the same time give a warning to those who want to play both sides. He, Huidun, is still the lord of Huidun Territory.

Chen Cheng lowered the curtain and urged the coachman to speed up.

The Knights of Light simply thought that the carriage belonged to some minor noble and ignored it, because there were too few guard knights following Huidun, who was not worthy of his status as an earl.

The carriage sped up and soon arrived at the city gate. The guards at the gate saw that it was Huidun's carriage and did not stop it. The carriage quickly entered the city.
