Xu Kuang sat on the horse. Behind him, the original thirty or so carts had turned into more than a hundred. Some were loaded with grain, followed by thousands of cattle, horses, donkeys and mules. On a certain cart,
, and four people with ashen faces were sitting there.
Xu Kuang rode up to the four people and observed them quietly. After a while, he asked:
"Do you have anything to say?".
A group of people all lowered their heads. Suddenly, the magician raised his head. He took courage and said to the exhortation:
"Stop it, Lord, you will destroy yourself if you do this."
"Why?".
"The laws of the kingdom clearly stipulate that nobles cannot conquer each other!".
Xu Kuang laughed so hard that it was almost breathtaking...
Ren's three children looked at the magician with some reproach, as if blaming him for offending Xu Kuang.
Xu Kuang looked at the magician and asked:
"May I have your name?".
The magician closed his eyes, let out a long sigh, and then spoke after a long time:
"Ke Lan.".
Xu Kuang nodded:
"Okay, Ke Lan, let me ask you, does the kingdom have any laws that stipulate that nobles cannot usurp the land of other nobles? Is there any law that stipulates that nobles cannot accept refugees from other nobles without permission? Yes?"
Ke Lan's face was suffocated. He didn't expect Xu Kuang to say such words without thinking.
"Do you still want to say that the laws of the kingdom stipulate that nobles cannot harm other nobles? But what if I raise a group of dead soldiers, kill Ren, force his son to become a lord, and then give everything to me?"
.
Ke Lan stopped talking.
"Let me tell you, I will not be punished in any way, and all I need to do is let these dead soldiers kill Ren's family. As long as these dead soldiers disappear, I will not be punished at all.
The laws of this kingdom are full of loopholes and are just a piece of shit, why should we respect it?".
The four of them looked at Xu Kuang in shock.
Ke Lan asked in surprise:
"You are crazy...".
Xu Kuang laughed and asked:
"Did you hear me?".
Everyone answered in unison:
"No!".
Xu Kuang thought for a while and changed the question:
"Then I'm telling you now, I'm going to rebel and bring down the Dog King. I will be the king. Are you willing to follow me?".
They shouted in unison again:
"willing!".
Ke Lan could no longer speak a word.
Xu Kuang suddenly smiled at Ke Lan and said:
"I'm joking, you understand...".
Of course Ke Lan didn't believe it, but he still nodded sincerely.
Xu Kuang laughed and rode forward, ignoring the group of people.
When Xu Kuang stepped onto the land of Mushroom Ridge, Cuihua's voice rang:
"The mission has been completed, some mission rewards have been distributed, and the storage space is insufficient. Please clear the storage space as soon as possible."
"The upgrade conditions have been met, do you want to upgrade?".
"No upgrade.".
…
Ryan looked at the almost endless motorcade and asked in astonishment:
"You didn't move all of Ren's property back, did you?"
"Definitely not. I just collected the rent and interest from him for renting my territory. And his children were invited by me as guests. All the accounts are clear. I will not take more money from him than Ren."
of.".
Ryan was relieved.
"Then will this batch of materials go into the public treasury or the private treasury?".
"Of course it's the public treasury. From now on, all materials obtained through the war will be put into the public treasury. Grandpa Lane, now you go to the inventory."
Ryan saluted, turned around to greet a few financial staff, and walked towards the endless motorcade.
Xu Kuang informed Chen Xiaohu:
"After counting the casualties, all the fallen soldiers and their families will receive their 24-month salary."
Chen Xiaohu looked at Xu Kuang in astonishment.
Xu Kuang noticed something strange about Chen Xiaohu and asked:
"What's wrong?".
Chen Xiaohu took a long time to hesitate and replied:
"Is it too much?".
Xu Kuang sighed and said to Chen Xiaohu:
"This is an oversight on my part. I didn't explain it clearly to you. Let me explain the regulations to you, and we will follow this in the future."
Chen Xiaohu immediately put on a listening attitude.
"Any of my soldiers who die fighting for me will be able to receive a pension equal to twice their work salary. If it is less than one year, it will be calculated as one year. Their family members can choose to settle it in one lump sum or receive it monthly.
Okay. Just like that, you report this charter to Ryan. We will discuss the specific military laws later. I have something else to do, so I will go back first."
Chen Xiaohu looked at Xu Kuang blankly. He really felt that Xu Kuang was different from others.
In the evening, Chen Xiaohu returned home and told his family what happened today.
Chen Xiaobao's eyes widened and he asked:
"Second brother, are you saying that each of those who died can receive more than two thousand kilograms of grain?".
Chen Xiaohu smiled bitterly, his eyes ignited with an indescribable light:
"Those who don't want food can also settle with gold coins."
The family was silent. After a while, they hugged each other and started crying.
Huang Xiumei cried loudly and said to her children:
"The lord is not kind to us. When we stole his mines, he didn't care. If other lords had beaten us to death, now he has given us such a good job, and we must do it well.
Repay him...".
…
Xu Kuang can't hear this now, but of course he would be happy if he could hear it.
He is now in the newly built arsenal.
He stroked the dried yellow mud on the wall and asked:
"Is this wall strong?".
York scratched his head and said nothing.
It must be weak. This wall is designed to protect against villains rather than gentlemen.
Xu Kuang sighed, knowing that he seemed to have to find time to tinker with the concrete.
"You go first and take the lock away.".
York took the lock off the door.
Xu Kuang closed the door, looked at the room, and began to plan.
Soon, he took out pieces of equipment.
Twenty thousand rounds of ammunition, one hundred and seventy artillery shells, one mountain cannon, plus two Maxims, and twenty 98k. This configuration has almost doubled his current military strength.
"Cuihua, breakthrough.".
Two consecutive streams of light lit up on his body. Xu Kuang immediately checked his attribute panel, and then added two attribute points to his physique:
Host: [Xu Kuang]
Occupation: Priest (Industrial Priest)
Level: Trainee Priest 3 stars

The other attributes were within Xu Kuang's expectations, but the number of gold coins was beyond Xu Kuang's expectations.
This time he took 2,400 gold coins from Ren's territory, and was awarded another 1,000 gold coins by the system. In the end, he only had more than 6,000 gold coins.
"It seems that we need to get some gold coins from several other lords.".
Then Xu Kuang looked at his seven lottery opportunities with great interest, not knowing what he could draw.
