Traveling to another world, inheriting a mess at the beginning

Aarons certainly didn't understand why he was feared, but he was in no mood to pay attention to other people's thoughts.

"No matter what that guy's purpose is, he did give me an inspiration."

"Do you mean to add a clothing customization business to the Marquis's family?"

"Even if the territory is gone by then, I can probably get a stable income from this. But apart from you, I don't know if anyone else can make clothes of this style."

At present, Aarons' clothes are specially sewn by Xia Ye with his own weaving magic. Even if the style and design can be imitated, the fabrics specially strengthened by magic are not found everywhere.

"【Weaving】 is the innate magic of the Jiaojiao clan like us. And the special fabrics in your memory can only be made through my magic."

There are no fossil fuels and rubber in this world, so there are almost no chemical fibers and plastics. Although there are many plant fibers as substitutes, most of them require composite magic for processing.

"But even without this special fabric, ordinary tailors can easily make similar clothes. If we use a magic processing plant, mass production is not a problem."

"After all, it's just some clothes... Forget it, let's keep this idea for now."

Although Xia Ye can make high-end clothing with superior protection and comfort, the style and design are easy to be imitated by outsiders.

It's not easy to make a lot of money in this way, so Aarons doesn't plan to think about it anymore.

"Your idea is fine, but it's better to start the plan after you become famous."

"But the problem now is this fame... Tsk."

Although Marquis Moti is a famous noble, the eldest son of the Marquis's family is just a waste known to everyone.

Unless there is some way to reverse this reputation, even if he can inherit this territory, there will be many people who will not accept his management.

"Let's take back the mine first, at least get the money first."

No matter what he plans to do in the future, money is a necessary and top priority resource.

At this time, Karin suddenly walked into the study.

"Master, I just went to the children's place... Meili told me that the old man's condition is not optimistic. He has been bedridden today."

"... It's so fast."

The huge mental blow caused serious damage to the old man's already weak and old body, and turned ordinary minor illnesses into incurable terminal illnesses.

This result is irreversible, so Aarons didn't know how to face the old man.

"The old man will be handed over to them... I won't show up for the time being, so let me maintain my cruel and ruthless attitude to the end."

"Yes, I will report to you immediately if there is any change."

After reporting this matter, Karin immediately returned to her post.

Xia Ye didn't seem to be very interested in this, but just waited for Aarons' instructions expressionlessly.

"You should also do your own thing. I need to think about what to do next."

-After watching the Aries Witch in a professional suit leave, Aarons' brain began to work.

Just because I seized a mine, it doesn't prove that I have the ability to control the territory.

The emperor deliberately set aside this month, not only to test the ability of the marquis's successor, but also to select other candidates who can control the territory.

If my performance is not good enough, then this territory will be handed over to someone else.

"What if the goal is to at least keep the territory within the city?"

Although there is no precedent to learn from, the success rate of this option may be higher than requiring the retention of the entire territory.

If I can establish control over the surrounding areas during this period, then maybe I can ask the emperor to allocate this small area to me.

And other marquis cities that are no longer under control can also be taken over by the successor.

"But if you do this, at least show enough financial resources and popularity..."

After taking back the mine, I can get a stable income enough to operate the city. But the most critical popularity, there is no way to improve it now.

People have been comparing Aarons with his genius brother for more than a decade, and no one thinks that this eldest son of the Marquis who will never be successful in his life has the possibility of inheriting the territory.

"What should I do?"

Before getting the answer, Aarons had no way of predicting the future.

...

The next day, the Marquis's Mansion really received a report from the Kulan Mercenary Group.

Did they really find out the situation over there in less than a day?

At first, Aarons was skeptical, but whenWhen Xia Ye handed the report to him, he immediately changed his mind.

"...How did these guys do it?"

--The first page of the report was a hand-drawn bird's-eye view of the mine, which not only drew detailed pictures of the locations of entrances, roads and various facilities, but also specially marked the movement routes of guards and workers.

"...Not only does this place produce magic source stones, but it can also dig up a small amount of spirit gold raw stones? No wonder the profit is higher than that of ordinary mines."

Spirit gold is a special magic mineral. Although it is not the main raw material of gold coins, the empire will use it to draw special magic marks when minting coins to prove the legitimacy of the currency.

"I got some information from outside before. There has always been a small amount of spiritual gold of unknown origin circulating in the black market of the Marquisate. Now it seems that these things all come from here."

"I understand what you mean... If this information is false, then their fabrication skills are too outrageous."

Although I can't figure out how the mercenary group investigated the place so thoroughly in such a short time, Aarons' experience in his previous life told him that most of the content of this report is probably true.

"But if that's the case, then they probably have mastered most of my information. In addition to your true identity, they probably know how many people are in our family."

"Although I don't want to brag, I should be the only trump card in your hand now. If you decide to use my power, please be prepared to pay extra compensation."

"Tsk..."

Aarons knew that Xia Ye was actually actively tempting him.

If he indulged in her power, he would become weaker. And when she can't afford the reward in the end, she can naturally abandon the agreement and turn herself into pure food.

"Of course, if you want to solve this problem yourself, I will do my best to help you. But in that case, please don't let the situation evolve to the point where you need direct confrontation."

"I know... Okay, go and notify the leader now. I want to talk to him here again."
