Almighty Lord: I can modify hidden entries

A one-pound salt brick can last a family for two to three months, and the price is twenty or thirty silver coins, which is not cheap.

Gooden plans to set the price of fine salt at ten silver coins per pound the same as that of white sugar, and also set a purchase limit.

After the inspection, the next stop is the vodka distillery.

In order to make vodka, Gudern also poached people from the tavern, which made the tavern owners and many drunkards who loved drinking complained.

After all, one is affecting the business, and the other is making the wine available to drink even 'lower quality', which makes both parties feel unhappy.

For Gooden, these are not problems. When vodka is put on the shelves, the tone of these opinions will inevitably change.

Compared with the previous factories, the future development of the vodka distillation factory is more important, so the entire factory building is sealed tightly.

Only the three chimneys on the roof slowly let out a trace of smoke.

High-concentration wine can not only be consumed, but also has an important impact in medical and chemical industries.

For a world that has not yet discovered chemical technology, this technology must be kept secret, even if they do not understand the principles of these machines.

The vodka refining process is not that fast. It has only taken one day. It is estimated that the raw materials have just been refined, and the subsequent filtration and distillation will take a lot of time.

So Gooden simply watched it briefly and then left to do other work.

At noon, Gudern received a letter from Kanehara Castle.

The source of the letter was sent by the auction house. Counting the days, it seems that tomorrow will be the first transaction time for both parties.

Gooden opened the letter and checked it, and after a while he roughly understood what was going on.

Since the return of Kanehara Castle, Gudern has added many transactions to acquire the past.

This resulted in an extremely large number of items traded this time, from various raw materials to horses and people.

Just for the people who helped with population recruitment, Jinyuan City recruited more than 300 people for him.

According to the previous recruitment order, Gudern must pay at least fifteen gold coins.

He was not surprised but delighted at such a large population. The lack of people in Qingyuan Town was a serious problem.

Originally, he thought that this recruitment would bring in a hundred or so people at most, but he didn't expect that the number would be three times more than he expected.

For such changes, Gudern must also make arrangements in advance.

There were originally a lot of vacant houses on the west side of the town, but now it seems that some more have to be cleared out.

Although there are between five and six hundred people living in Qingyuan Town, there are more than just a few houses in the town.

Before the former lord was brutally murdered, Qingyuan Town was not as poor and weak as it is now.

The population at that time was at least two to three thousand, and following the accidental death of the former lord's family, the residents of Qingyuan Town were also poached by surrounding lords.

After Gudern took over, there were only more than 800 people left. In the following years, some people returned and added some new people.

At that time, most of the houses left behind were vacant and abandoned, which allowed Gooden to save the process of building new houses for them to live in.

Although these stone brick and mud houses will definitely have to be demolished and rebuilt in the future, with the current shortage of manpower, the most important thing is to avoid wasting labor.

After receiving the reminder from the letter, Gudern also temporarily put down his work and began to make arrangements for receiving the caravan tomorrow.

At the same time, the residents of the town were also mobilized to help, clearing space and cleaning up rooms.

For a moment, Qingyuan Town seemed to be celebrating some kind of festival, it was so lively.

At noon the next day, July 27th in the celestial calendar.

A huge caravan also appeared outside the town as scheduled.

Gudern, who had received the news in advance, and old Joseph had rushed to greet them. Of course, Kroger, who was joining in the fun, also came with him.

The people in charge of the caravan this time were also Gudun's old acquaintances, Feroz and Dedalo.

The volume of goods transported in this transaction was as many as forty vehicles and horses.

The total number of people recruited from outside, as well as the escort team and the escort team, the total number of the caravan is almost close to 500 people.

Mr. Feroz, Captain Dedalo, long time no see... who is this?

Gooden stepped forward to say hello to the two of them, but there was a fellow traveler between them who seemed to have a different spirit, so he changed his tone and asked the two of them questions.

Your Excellency, let me introduce to you, this is Mr. Renas, the Governor of the Northern Territory Governor's Mansion.

Dedalo on the side quickly dismounted and introduced Gudern, and then personally helped Renas dismount.

The steward of the Governor's Office in the North? Gooden didn't react for a moment. What was such a big shot doing in his territory?

Looking sideways at Old Joseph, there was some surprise in his eyes. After picking up Renas, Dedalo continued to explain.

Lord Gudern, do you remember what you said when we met last time? Your title has been approved by the empire, and Lord Renas is here to confer it on you.

After hearing this, Gudern suddenly realized that Dedalo had indeed said this when he helped at night last time.

He killed nearly a hundred orcs by himself. This kind of meritorious service was enough to earn him a title.

Gudern reacted and quickly showed his kindness to Renas.

Welcome Lord Renus to condescend to my border town.

Lord Gudern...oh no, it should be changed to Lord Baron now. You don't need to be so polite. You deserve this title.

Renus said with a smile and waved his hands, and then looked at Kroger next to Goode, a little surprised.

Krog? Why are you here?

Listening to Renus shouting Kroger's name, Gudern also turned his head to look at Kroger beside him in surprise. Do these two people know each other?

Recognized by his old classmate, Kroger stopped hiding and took a step forward to joke.

I thought you wouldn't recognize me as an old friend after you were promoted to the Governor's Palace.

As for why I'm here, of course I was sent out on a mission.

Listening to the conversation between the two, Gudern was a little surprised. The relationship between the two seemed to be very unusual?

I remember you were still working as a military inspector at the border fortress, what? Did you come here to inspect military resources?

Ahem, no, I changed my position. Now I am the Imperial Tax Collector, responsible for the tax collection in Qingyuan Town.

Kroger had no reservations about his 'demotion' and said it directly and openly.

Seeing that the two were about to start chatting here, Gooden interrupted and invited.

Since you two know each other, why not go to the castle to chat? Just leave the handover work to the people below.

Well, that's okay. Renus nodded in agreement. It was indeed a bit uncomfortable to chat here.

Immediately, the group returned to the castle, and the task of docking the caravan was directly handed over to the person in charge below.

Castle drawing room.

Gudern, who had already arranged the reception, brought everyone here.

As the four of them sat down, Gudern also opened his mouth to talk.

Speaking of which, you two have worked together before?

We have worked together forever, but when we were studying at Imperial College, we were classmates. When we were assigned jobs after graduation, we happened to come to work in the North.

Renas briefly explained the relationship between the two without concealing it, and then looked at Kroger.

Speaking of which, my old classmate's grades in the academy are among the best, and his ability is no worse than mine.

But now you've gotten so mixed up that you've lost your real power position as a military prosecutor. Have you offended your boss again and been squeezed out?

Kroger nodded, not caring.

Absolutely. It's boring to stay in this position anyway, so why not change your mood to another position?

Really hearing this result, Renas said with some regret.

If you could restrain your character a little, your current status would definitely be two levels ahead of mine.

After this tax collection is over, I will apply for you to be transferred to the Governor's Mansion to be my deputy. With your ability, you will definitely be able to become the Governor within a year.

Forget it, I'm not that miserable right now. When I really can't survive anymore, I'll come find you.

…

Listening to the conversation between the two, Gudern could hardly contain his surprise.

The official positions under the Northern Governor's Mansion are roughly divided into three categories: governor-general, governor-general, and general manager.

Among them, the position of Governor-General is equivalent to the border ambassador. It can be said that it is a position above one person and below ten thousand people. The only person above his head who needs to obey orders is His Majesty the Emperor.

The governor is similar to the top leader at the provincial level. There are many divisions in a large region such as Beifeng Shuangjing, and the governor is the person in charge of this type.

Further down, the general manager is the head of the local department, like Renas, a person who needs to run errands, but also has real power.

Judging from the conversation between the two, Kroger's ability actually jumped from the lowest tax collector to the position of governor within one year.

This kind of leap is like a young clerk who has just gained a solid job and has reached the position of provincial leader within a year. Gooden can't believe this magical speed of promotion.

I'm sorry, Baron Gooden, it's been a while since I met my old friend and I just had to chat for a while. Let's get down to business.

It doesn't matter. It's normal to chat a little more when old friends meet.

After recovering from the surprise, Gudern responded with a smile without changing his expression.

Renus nodded and continued: Well, you also know the purpose of my coming this time.

With that said, Renas took out some items from his waist and continued.

Let's get straight to the point. Your Majesty has authorized me to conduct the knighthood conferment ceremony. Next, I will be responsible for your conferment.

Chapter 78 Salt and sugar trade shocked the caravan

While Renas was talking, he had already taken out the items from his waist one by one. +

The first item taken out was a wooden box containing a knighthood medal. After taking it out, Renas opened it and put it on the table facing Gudern.

Then he continued to take out an unopened ceremonial sword and a round metal.

Looking at the slightly familiar round metal, Gooden thought of the 'evidence' he found the night before.

There is something similar to this in the hidden compartment of the study.

With a little luck from Renus, a special energy poured into the round metal.
