Chapter 374 Boss Ji and Master Huang's Super Combination Punch!
The next morning.
The two slept straight through until late morning, skipping both breakfast and lunch. Three...
"Shu, how come I never knew you had this side to you?"
"This is called a young girl's passionate love, and isn't it normal for married couples to do this kind of thing?"
Shu glared at the man and then shoved him hard with her knee.
"Good morning, it's all gone. I'll ask Xi Mei to get you some more next time."
"But it's already afternoon, so I can accept being bitten in the afternoon."
"You're so beautiful, right now I just want to have a proper meal."
After getting dressed, Shu cleaned the room. After all, they were still staying at Yu Di's house, so it was necessary to keep it tidy.
"What would you like to eat? You worked hard last night, so you need to nourish yourself properly."
Huang Cao got up, did a somersault, and hung directly on Shu's body.
The current appearance of Master Huang is exactly what the woman in front of him likes the most.
She wasn't very tall, only a tiny bit taller than her, but she was particularly prone to evoking maternal instincts.
"Let me do it. When have you ever seen me completely drained? You can barely stand up now."
Huang Cao poked Shu Weiwei's slightly full belly with his hand and pressed her down into the chair.
"I'm here to cook something. I'm leaving today, and I also want to say goodbye to Brother Yu."
After Huang Cao gently closed the door, Shu rubbed his belly, a hint of helplessness in his expression.
"Ah Cao is so caring. I'll take care of the children from now on."
Kal'tsit: I heard someone's trying to steal my job?
After finishing the task, it was already evening.
Before leaving Yan Country, Huang Cao made a phone call to Mr. Ji, who was far away.
"Brother-in-law, what can I do for you?"
"It's something big, and I want you to prepare beforehand. You should remember that letter from before, right, Zero?"
"Does that mean the True Dragon doesn't approve?"
"This is a common problem of feudal emperors, but there is really nothing we can do about it. Let's be prepared. This will be an unprecedented disaster, but it is also a good opportunity for us to pave the way."
"Understood. Then I'll put my second brother's matter aside for now and focus all my energy on... but I'm a little short on funds and I'm afraid I can't support a large-scale mobilization of resources."
"Don't worry about the funding. I'll contact my bank in Lungmen later. They'll give you an unlimited, interest-free loan. Next year, we should try our best to use this disaster as a springboard for us."
"When the disaster strikes, the Yan Country Kingdom court will not be able to remain indifferent. At the same time, we must guard against it resorting to underhanded tactics. If the True Dragon tries to force a sale, you should just destroy all the supplies in the warehouse."
"This is not our fault, so there is no need for us to feel guilty. We just want some national sovereignty. It is a very fair transaction, and there is no coercion involved."
Huang Cao was too kind, and he never placed his hopes on the feudal monarch; he had countless ways to maximize his own interests.
Without the help of Utopia and Ji, the death toll from this disaster would certainly have been in the millions, and the national strength of Yan Country would have been greatly diminished.
True Dragon will inevitably have to pay a price to gain help.
While there may be morality involved in the interests between nations, it's unlikely that there is truly morality involved.
Human lives or power? That's a good question.
Huang Cao wouldn't let her kindness run rampant, because saving this one meant there were countless other huge pitfalls waiting for her to fill in the gaps in the future.
It would be best to have a clearly marked price, and besides, he really didn't intend to take advantage of the situation for the sake of his wife.
Therefore, the bargaining chips exchanged with the Yan Country were not very high; it was nothing more than a piece of land in the Great Wilderness City.
The lives of millions of people are hanging by a thread.
Even if Yan Country True Dragon doesn't intend to exchange for the Huang Cao, he won't suffer any loss; after all, he certainly won't be the one who loses the most.
Land ravaged by Catastrophe needs to be rebuilt, which is a significant business.
"I'm still too kind. If it were when I first arrived in Victoria, I would probably be king here by now."
The feudal monarchs of Yan Country were nothing special.
As the highest nobility, unless the True Dragon wants to overthrow them, no matter how wise they are, they must stand on their own class.
Even the Yan Country cannot escape worldly affairs; in the story, there are quite a few corrupt officials caught by Jingzhe.
After taking care of everything, Huang Cao did not return to Utopia immediately, but instead took Shu to the distant Ursus.
I also have an Old Black Snake territory in Ursus. Although I can monitor it remotely, I still need to see how far it has developed.
"So, my husband, you also have a territory in Ursus?"
Shu was somewhat surprised, as she had heard a little about this country.
In short, it can be summed up as: being too proud to admit defeat and suffering for it.
Of course, nobles would never suffer hardship; it was always the lower-class, uneducated laborers who suffered.
Ursus's dismal performance in the last Terra was truly an eye-opener for all nations.
Even Kazimierz, who had been getting beaten up by Ursus, couldn't help but mock him on the international stage.
Of course, Kazimierz only dared to talk the talk, and historically he almost never won a fight against Ursus.
Both of them moved very fast, and arrived in Ursus territory in less than half a day.
Because the official website of Ursus made a backup, even if the Inner Guards saw Shu, they wouldn't stop him.
It's more likely that they really couldn't stop them, because the difference in combat power between the Great Beast and the Inner Guards was simply too great.
We arrived at Utopia's enclave in Ursus without any obstacles.
Since it was winter when we arrived, a blizzard was blowing even at midday.
"The winters here are even colder, but it seems like the people here are living quite well. There are so many small wooden houses on the permafrost."
Millet used its power to condense a protective shield above its head and followed Huang Cao into a castle.
Standing by the window high up in the castle, Shu saw hundreds of thick wooden cabins standing amidst the blizzard.
The room emitted a faint light, as if someone was warming themselves by a fire inside.
After many years, Master Huang now has a castle in Ursus.
This is an expense to express gratitude; it cannot be spared!
After all, without Master Huang, it's uncertain whether the Ursus people living in the Black Serpent territory would even have tools for making fires.
Of course, it's also possible that there's only a dilapidated wooden hut; don't even think about a thick wooden house.
It's all thanks to Master Huang's kindness! The wooden house must be made of wood!
Even without Master Huang's arrival, the living conditions of the serfs in the Koschei territory were much better than in other noble territories, although they still lived a miserable life.
"The development is going well. Although the factory is not yet large, it can already provide a stable output of high quality."
Huang Cao stood at the castle window, looking through the blizzard at the steel factory still steaming in the distance, and nodded with satisfaction.
The people of Ursus also possess a tenacity that can further fuel their enthusiasm for work when conditions are right.
At least under Master Huang's preferential treatment, all affairs in the territory are progressing steadily, and everyone cherishes their hard-won happy life.
I wonder how Black Snake fared this winter; he's probably almost broke.
Chapter 375 Black Snake: Food's here! Family!
"Master Huang actually had time to come here, and he even brought a Great Beast with him."
The old cunning black snake quickly sensed the powerful aura emanating from the horizon, since the two were not too far apart, both within Ursus territory.
"Great Beast wife... truly one dares to marry her and the other dares to marry her."
Black Snake was quite shocked by Master Huang's decision to marry the Great Beast, because the two were not on the same level in terms of physical ability.
Is there really nothing wrong with my body?
Great Beast are not an easily satisfied race.
"Master Huang is indeed quite powerful, because he has more than one lamp that needs oiling."
Since they were already here, Black Snake thought it wouldn't hurt to take the opportunity to visit some neighbors. Maybe Master Huang would be in a good mood and take pity on them, allowing him to bring back some timber as well.
The black snake, wrapped in a thick blanket, yawned, inwardly complaining that snakes' ability to withstand the cold was truly abysmal.
As an ancient Long-lived species, the Black Serpent learned Terra secrets of Terra from ancient texts. Naturally, it was very clear what kind of creature the so-called serpent in its mind was, and it also knew the origin of the Beast Lord.
As for why they went to gather some wood, it was because Black Snake really had no firewood left.
Since making the deal with Master Huang, the snake's wealth has been dwindling day by day.
Most of the timber was distributed by the Black Serpent to the serfs in his later territory, which resulted in a severe shortage of fuel for his own enjoyment.
Although the Black Serpent was cruel and evil, the serfs under his command were not worthy of bearing that evil.
If they all freeze to death this winter, who will create surplus value for them in the future?
The immortal black snake can survive being frozen for months without dying, but the mortals below might not be so lucky.
But it's still not easy, because this flesh and blood body still can hardly withstand the erosion of nature.
"Hello, Master Huang, do you have some free time today?"
The black snake spoke to the golden leaf in its hand, but received no response.
Suddenly he remembered that when Master Huang gave Ye Zi the leaf, he seemed to have said that he only had the right to accept it, not the right to fight back.
"Damn, that old bastard."
Black Snake was so angry his eyebrows were crooked; this guy really wouldn't give up even the slightest advantage.
I have never encountered such a formidable opponent before.
It had also heard about Master Huang's entrepreneurial journey.
Theoretically, this kind of man is prone to becoming arrogant and indulgent, but after so many years, he still looks the same as when he first started his business.
They are meticulous and cautious in their work, and their ability to control details is terrifying.
Is this the benefit of having many wives?
The women of Utopia: Yes, yes, I did it all.
It can only be said that this is indeed one of the factors.
After all, Master Huang was not the kind of cold-hearted person; when he was in power, he would subconsciously consider the thoughts of his family.
Although Theresia and the others often couldn't offer any valuable advice, Huang Cao could calm down and seriously consider whether his policies were truly effective once he sat down and thought things through.
The ability to think calmly is the greatest and best quality for someone in the highest position of power.
The gentle embrace created by women captivated Master Huang, but men never succumb to temptation.
"Why isn't this person my prince? Why put such an enemy on the opposite side of Ursus?"
Black Snake, wrapped in thick clothes, prepared to personally visit Master Huang's castle, but before that, he sent a letter.
If I can't get through by phone, I can only write a letter.
Since the journey wasn't too long, thanks to Snake Scales' arrangement, Master Huang quickly obtained the letter Black Snake had written to him through special channels.
"This sly snake is really asking for a beating and has come here to complain about being poor. Oh well, it's not bad to have a cup of tea here." Huang Cao smiled after reading the letter.
Then, the next second, he ordered his Abundance Warrior to fill the castle with the wealth they had collected over the past few days.
He had previously traded a piece of barren land in Iberia with the Black Serpent for some noble properties in Ursus, and now he was incredibly wealthy in the country.
Although the minor nobles have little power, they have a whole host of ways to amass wealth.
The reason why unprofitable industries are unprofitable is that they cannot form a collective of a certain scale.
Master Huang has plenty of strength and means to integrate the lower-tier markets.
So in just the second year, the properties owned by these nobles created a considerable fortune for Utopia.
