Traveling to another world, inheriting a mess at the beginning

After all, this is a generally peaceful world, so the idea of ​​conquering everything by force alone is not feasible.

Karin and Xia Ye are indeed very strong, but I am very weak. Even if they can eliminate any opponents, everything will be over if I am careless once.

So I must seek more power - wealth, status, popularity, or anything that can protect myself.

"Director Chen, how is the mine over there now?"

"I have sent people to conduct a detailed survey. There are abundant reserves of magic source stones and spiritual gold there, and the output is at least 20 gold coins per month. With this income, the annual maintenance expenses of the urban circle are guaranteed."

Each city in the territory requires at least 100 gold coins for maintenance every year, which was originally paid by the Marquis's family.

But after the Marquis's death, all the family's industries were immediately out of control, and Aarons could not get any income from these places at all.

"Is that enough? Then I won't think of any other solution for now."

"Master, everyone in the city office is very grateful for your decision to hand over the mine you recaptured to us. If you need anything, please feel free to tell anyone here."

After all, I found them disposable income, which is a big favor.

"I will call for help if necessary. Let's not talk about this for now. I came here mainly to ask about the situation in other surrounding cities."

"Nearby cities, Master, have you listened to local radio or watched psychic reports recently?"

"Don't they just broadcast some old news?"

Although this world is not without the concept of live broadcast, the magic equipment that transmits light and shadow in real time must be operated by high-level magicians, so it is not particularly popular.

Most radio and film and television programs are recorded in advance, so the timeliness of the information is poor. And Aarons's attention to these things is not enough, so he didn't get much useful information.

"When you went to retake the mines yesterday, some cities just made statements on the radio. They announced that they would manage the affairs of their respective regions before the Empire reassigned lords."

"Isn't this a disguised declaration of independence?"

"But there was no response from the Imperial Capital. Your Majesty may have acquiesced to this situation."

-Why doesn't the Emperor intend to take care of the chaos in the border areas?

Aarons thought at first that something went wrong inside the Imperial Capital, but after remembering Kuran's warning, he suddenly realized a terrifying possibility.

Cadia wants to take this opportunity to invade the Empire. Doesn't the Empire want to take this opportunity to attack Cadia?

"...If that's the case, it would be too bad."

"Master, although I don't know what will happen next, you must protect your life. You are the only heir to the Marquis's family. Only if you are alive can the Marquis's family have a chance to revive."

"I'll try my best."

Aarons doesn't have a strong sense of belonging to the Marquis's family, but he doesn't want to give up his identity and status.

In order to ensure that he can have a stable and prosperous life, he must find a way to overcome these difficulties.

"In addition, I heard that a group of people who support me have established an association?"

"You mean those craftsmen... Those people are basically aliens who are not valued in the city. In the past, only you would communicate with them, so I specially allocated some money to let them do more for you."

Although the unlucky young master has no strength, he is actually not useless.

Some seemingly useless connections may not be useful for the time being, but they may play a big role at a critical moment in the future.

"Then I will go over there and take a look. Director Chen, thank you and the City Office for your support."

"I dare not accept this. Young master, even if you can't win your own territory from His Majesty, we are willing to leave a place for you to settle down here."

Those are all later stories-Aarons doesn't want to think too much about the future now.

...

The craftsman association formed by Aarons' supporters is actually not far from the City Office.

Because the business is not open to the public, the appearance of the association is quite plain. When Aarons stepped into the small courtyard, a wave of heat almost pushed him back.

"Sorry, we are not open to the public - why are you here, young master!?"

Mongert, a middle-aged dwarf who was working hard in front of a hot iron smelting furnace, immediately shouted excitedly after seeing Aarons.

His voice also attracted the attention of others, and a large group of people in the house immediately ran out, and even couldn't take care of the original work.

"Uh... Uncles and aunts, I just came here to take a look..."

Most of these people who spontaneously supported Aarons were middle-aged and had obvious special appearance features.

These people did not have a high status in the city. In the past, only the unlucky young master would communicate with them on an equal footing. So in their eyes, Aarons might be just like the neighbor's child.

"Oh, I didn't expect this... Find a chair for the young master! Aunt You! Go and pour a glass of water!"

A large group of people hurriedly welcomed Aarons into the house, and then let him sit in the most comfortable position in the house-although there was really no good place to stay in this house full of empty potion bottles and leather odor, but Aarons did feel their enthusiasm.

"Come and have some water, young master... We didn't have time to prepare tea, please forgive us."

"It's okay, I just came to see... Uncle Meng, what are you doing?"

"Haha, anyway, we old guys don't have good business. Director Chen suggested that we make something and sell it in the name of the young master, so everyone came."

This may also be a way to regain people's popularity, but Aarons himself has never thought of this method.

"Yes, young master, although our group can only make some low-grade things, if we can bring you a good reputation, we will definitely do our best."

These older aliens with various animal ears or horns may really treat Aarons as their own children.

Now that the child is in trouble, they naturally start to do what they can.

"To be honest, Master, we old guys have received quite a few orders. I guess in a short time, everyone will know that you are not a useless person."

"I really don't deserve this... If there are any difficulties, I will do my best to help you solve them."

——Knowing that someone is willing to support him, Aarons is already satisfied.
