Even if the snow and ice have arrived.
The sea surface of Huahua Town was not ice-covered, and Huahua returned to the pier without hindrance.
This time, he brought back a ship of volcanic glass ore and some fragments of dragon bones.
"The architectural plan of the port town is roughly planned with reference to the master's design drawings." Marcus reported to Liszt in the castle study, "The bone fragments in the Boneyard have been cleaned up, and the volcanic glass between the rock pillars Most of the ore is also mined, and if it continues, it will destroy the grasslands."
"Pause first, the grassland cannot be destroyed. The breeding of black-blooded horses is very important, and there are so many volcanic glass, which is about enough. This is a strategic resource, and we have to consider it for the future of Heima Island."
"Then how will Heima Island's next plan be carried out?"
Liszt thought for a while: "To build the residential area of the port town, I will increase the number of immigrants, and try to make the port town take shape as soon as possible, so as to facilitate the development of Heima Island."
Heima Island is his future foundation, and Huahua Town is his temporary shelter.
The first part of his plan is to build a small town on Heima Island - Port Town, as a frontier for the development of Heima Island. The Earl developed the Coral Island back then and possessed the resources accumulated for several generations, but he started from scratch and could only consolidate it step by step.
Heima Island needs to be kept secret, so we can only entrust Marcus to develop it for the time being.
We finished talking about Port Town.
Marcus expressed his doubts: "My lord, have you studied the magic power in volcanic glass?" He has been in charge of mining, but he doesn't know what volcanic glass is for.
Liszt did not hide it: "Mr. Marcus, I have discovered the magic of the bubbles, which can be used as a continuous source of heat."
He took out the blueprint he had drawn and handed it to Marcus.
"This is the bathhouse plan I designed. There are a lot of projects in Huahua Town in winter. The common people work and sweat every day. They need bathhouses to keep out the cold and reduce the danger brought by wind and cold. Children who are fighting qi training also need the help of bathhouses. The magic power of the fire dragon burns The bathhouse is very suitable."
Marcus took a few glances at the design drawing, then handed back the cardboard: "My lord, the design is exquisite!"
In fact, he couldn't understand Liszt's abstract architectural proportions.
Putting away the design drawings, Liszt asked the servant Thomas to call for Galtai to prepare for a small meeting. The content of the meeting was to select a group of new strong serfs and assign them to work on Heima Island.
"In this way, the number of serfs in Huahua Town is not enough." Gao Ertai complained.
"If you don't have enough to buy, now is a good time to buy serfs." Liszt has already dealt with the slave trade as a daily routine. "As for the gold coins in the castle reserve, I will figure out a way."
He planned to sell a batch of mithril mines—this is a precious strategic material, and he was reluctant to sell it. But it was still far away from the era when Huahua Town could forge armor. Even if he formed a knight squad, he could only be equipped with the standard armor produced by Tulip Castle, not Mithril armor.
With the existence of smog missions, there will be more wealth to be harvested in the future, and the current development is more important.
Don't worry about the momentary gains and losses.
Gao Ertai had no objection to buying and selling serfs, and said relaxedly after hearing the words: "Yes, the price of serfs will be very cheap now, and maybe they can attract a few more Parises."
"Paris?" Marcus wondered.
"A female mercenary. Her younger sister was trafficked to Huahua Town. She followed her... Now she is the guard of the adults. She is very powerful, at the level of an elite earth knight."
Marcus asked cautiously: "Can it be trusted?"
Liszt knocked on the table and said in a deep voice: "Her basic information should be correct, but trust is far from being achieved. You have to guard against her in many secret matters."
"Understood." Marcus nodded and reminded, "However, I recommend that you recruit followers from the Coral Island as much as possible. The Tulip family has cultivated the Coral Island for 20 years, and this is a trustworthy force."
Liszt certainly understood.
But Paris is the reward brought by the smog mission, and it is related to dragons. He couldn't explain it clearly, so he changed the subject: "Speaking of recruiting followers, Advisor Gao Ertai, are there many people who want to go to Huahua Town recently? "As the lord's advisor, Galtai is the representative of Liszt.
Gao Ertai replied: "There are many aristocrats and quasi-nobles who communicated with me, but not many made up their minds to join them. You know, the enterprising knights have all followed the earl to the battlefield, and the rest are either Have lost aggressiveness, or lack of strength."
"Try to choose, especially young land knights and quasi-nobles who are familiar with official business."
Young earth knights can be trained to prepare for the upcoming knight squad. Quasi-nobles who are familiar with the business can first work in Huahua Town and send them to Heima Island in the future.
"As you wish. By the way, my lord, do you remember Gianluca Gianlutta?"
"What happened to Lyton's tutor who was deprived of his title?"
"He wrote a letter, hoping to come to Huahua Town to relax in the next few days. He couldn't bear it anymore and hoped to find a job in Huahua Town."
"You receive him first, and I will consider his knowledge later. If I am satisfied, I will naturally not be stingy with a job. If it is vain, I will not contradict my father's majesty for him."
…
At the dinner party held in the restaurant on the first floor, Marcus met Paris.
There was no friction at all, the two just nodded and they knew each other. After that, Paris focused on food. She has been completely attracted by the scrambled eggs, egg soup, bread with different flavors, and fragrant milk in the castle. She can't wait to eat and drink in the castle for three meals a day.
The younger sister lived in Mrs. Harriet's house. She lived alone and was too lazy to cook.
Of course, she was not eligible to enter the restaurant on the second floor when eating in the castle. She ate at the same table with Rondo, Lasse, and Liszt's retinue knights on the first floor.
On the second floor, only nobles and family teachers can sit down.
In order to win over his subordinates, Liszt often held banquets in the restaurant on the first floor, so that all his subordinates could gather at one table and have a drink.
Of course, he also entertained Carl, Rom and others on the second floor. At that time, he didn't have a deep understanding of nobles. This is no longer done now, most of the time the strict grading system can reflect the authority of the lord and the noble nature of the nobility.
In this way, a bent over action is often done, which is more able to win people's hearts.
After eating in the same pot for a long time, some people may not be able to figure it out. I really think that being close to the people means that the two brothers are good, and they have overstepped each other's status.
The ass decides the head.
Liszt is an aristocrat, of course he sits on a chair on the second floor, and coming downstairs to eat is just to win people's hearts.
"The law and order of the territory must be strictly managed. Carl, the patrol team needs to expand its enrollment. The current quota of 30 people is too small. On average, more than 100 people are equipped with one patrol member. Try to expand the number to 90 people, and allocate one patrol member to 40 people." Patrol members, the ratio is barely up to standard."
He said seriously: "I don't ask you to keep Huahua Town open at night, but all forms of crime other than quarrels must be put an end to."
