But before Jiang Yue could smile for a while, Zhu Ying, who was still outside with the princess doing combat tests, suddenly flew back to the base at supersonic speed.

"Warning. Dangerous abuse of carbon-uranium reaction detected, please..."

"Ah, I forgot to assess the risk first! Sorry, Miss Spider."

"Feedback. Please pay attention next time."

Zhu Ying, who detected the dangerous situation, quickly came to the scene of the incident. However, when she found out that it was Jiang Yue and Aarons who fired the shot, she immediately pretended that nothing happened and retreated.

This judgment standard 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, of course, when Keliya saw Jiang Yue and Aarons testing some "new toys", she immediately ignored everything around her and rushed over happily.

"What is this? Was that the light just now fired from this? Let me try it too!"

"Well, you see there are quite a few outsiders watching over there..."

"Outsiders? Whatever. Teacher Jiangyue, teach me how to use this thing!"

Aarons had hoped that Her Royal Highness the Princess would retain a little dignity, but Claire seemed to be more interested in the new toy.

She is indeed a student brought up by Jiangyue...

"Okay, then you guys play slowly, I'll go take care of those people."

Because the honorary nobles who came to visit were basically scared silly now, so Aarons decided to deal with them personally.

In addition, his own people seemed to be quite scared... Was the cannon 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 who seemed to have no strength and confidence and were almost the same as ordinary people in the conference hall, he realized that his current status and position were so high that he needed to be looked up to.

Have I walked so far without realizing it?

"Mr. Marquis, is the one outside now... the princess?"

"Yes, didn't you see the Yumenhua parked next to you when you came here?"

Although the nobles forced the princess to enter into an engagement unilaterally, the princess's palace ship was still parked on Aarons' side.

Because such a simple and easy-to-understand fact is 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 got honorary titles because of our military merits on the southern front."

"I see... they are all veterans."

After carefully observing the people present, Aarons also 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.

And the few people of the same age as him were probably the children of small nobles with fiefs.

"We also know that we are no different from ordinary people, but the great nobles are indeed too much... To be honest, after we became nobles, many of us have actually been blackmailed by some dukes or marquises."

This was the first time Aarons heard of this.

However, after these honorary nobles explained it carefully, Aarons immediately knew the operating mode of the noble circle.

"We have no territory, nor any very useful privileges. And most of us have been injured on the battlefield, so we can no longer make a living by fighting."

Because they have no starting capital, most honorary nobles can only rely on the nobles of the territory. And the way the great nobles treat these people is actually very simple -

renting land.

"The great nobles will rent us worthless territories so that we can make a living from them...but most of the places rented to us are worthless areas with no resources and population. Even if we try our best to operate them, we can't make enough money to pay the rent."

Since most honorary nobles don't know much about the territory, there are also many people who are deceived into signing harsh contracts. In the end, these honorary nobles are either forced to break the contract due to insufficient income or the great nobles plunder the fruits of their labor at a low price.

This is actually a disguised form of exploitation.

"So you guys can't make it in other places, so you come to me?"

"To be honest, this border is an important trade route. Even if you don't have any talent, you can still earn 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 namesThe honorary nobles are indeed just small people who act purely for profit, but Aarons does not want to despise them - after all, most ordinary people are like this, and it is too much to ask them, who may have a problem with eating, to consider what is noble manners and integrity.

"Well, since you all said so. Then I have to make it clear what the situation is here... First of all, this territory is indeed large, but it is not enough for so many people to share."

Aarons certainly does not intend to divide his territory with irrelevant people, so he also wants to take this opportunity to cultivate his own power - only those who work wholeheartedly for him can get a share from him.

"And those people from the duke and marquis' families have now seized the right to operate the city. It is not easy to completely overthrow them."

"You mean..."

"So if you want to make money from me, you have to work for me."

Although outsiders are not clear about 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 have a lot of fast trucks now... Originally I just wanted to do some transportation to make some pocket money, but now that you are here, I might as well change the way of operation."

As Aarons spoke, he took out a plan he had prepared long ago - he actually had a detailed plan long ago, and now is the best time to implement it.

"I will set up a chamber of commerce later, and then rent these trucks to you for free in the name of the chamber of commerce - you can use these trucks to run transportation to make money, and I will only be responsible for collecting fuel and maintenance fees."

Although this may lead to technology leakage, Aarons is now considering longer-term things.

"There are many opportunities to make money on the trade routes between Cardia and Collins - how about it, do you want to consider it?"

When the easy way to make money is directly in front of you, even the most determined people can't help but take a few more glances.

And these low-level nobles who have long had no fixed income and even owe a lot of foreign debts obviously can't stand such temptation.

"Mr. Marquis, are you really going to...give us this opportunity?"
