Broad World

Chapter 925 planning

In order to let his subordinates thoroughly understand the essence of governance and urban management, Henry stayed in the Governor’s Mansion for a whole day, and made detailed plans for Willen, including the expansion of the city and the adjustment of street structures, the layout of markets and houses, and patrols. How should the soldiers be dispatched, etc., and finally made clear arrangements for the next few months.

First of all, the original pirate fleet that has been covered by the navy is forbidden to continue looting. The task of blockade of Amn’s coast is given to the remaining Neranthir pirates. Instead, they can collect protection fees from past merchant ships.

The rule is very simple. It issued an order in the name of the Government House to impose 5% to 10% of the profit on board cargo from past merchant ships. On the surface, it is completely voluntary.

Vessels that have paid will receive a flag with a special pattern and number. After being hung up, they can safely pass through the Southern Sword Bay, the Sea of ​​Sword, the Strait of Isaiahville, and the Sea of ​​Glory. The pirates will not be polite, and will not let go of the pants even if they even grab the cargo from the ship.

In this way of combining officials and bandits, I believe that it will not take long for the merchants to learn, and arrange the so-called navy and pirates to perform some wonderful naval battles. By then, the toll will be a huge amount, plus The invisible control of trade routes and trade will soon establish the authority of the West Hartland Kingdom in the western coastal waters.

The second is to send a large number of boats to recruit bankrupt farmers from Tessel and Karinshan in the south, and let the farms near Willen re-operate. At least we must ensure the supply of vegetables, fruits and some miscellaneous grains. As for the staple food, wheat can be grown as much as possible. , Anyway, there are two big granaries of Angome Islands and Green Field. Enough to supply the consumption here.

Finally, there is manufacturing. Because it is close to the Wilders Forest and the dark area, Henry has formulated two systems for Willen, one is shipbuilding, the other is glass manufacturing and jewelry processing.

Although he already has the idea of ​​making a steel battleship. But according to the current steel production and industrial technology of the kingdom, it is lucky to be able to build one in a year, so the wooden sailboat will not be eliminated for a long time.

What’s more, the shipbuilding industry in the Faerun Continent is not very developed. In many places, primitive oars and sloops are used as power. Even the Deepwater City and the Ambulance, which represent the pinnacle of human shipbuilding, use only the earth. Play the remaining Carrick boats in the fifteenth century. Because this design pays too much attention to load capacity, the huge hull is prone to tilting of the center of gravity, and the ship will often be destroyed in a storm.

As for the fast sailing boats that the legendary elves claim to be the pinnacle of Toril’s world shipbuilding industry, he has never seen it, according to the descriptions of sailors who often sail. This thing should be a ship purely chasing speed. The structure should be similar to the flying shear ship that appeared on the earth in the eighteenth century. It is not equipped with any weapons, because the powerful wizards are the best weapons. After catching up to the target Raising your hand is a row of fireballs, whose power is certainly not much worse than a cannonball.

In order to ensure that Willen’s shipbuilding industry can obtain a relatively leading position, Henry carefully recalled the knowledge stored in his brain, and finally decided to take out the Galen ship that ruled the second half of the great voyage era.

Although he does not know the specific internal structure very well. But the characteristics are still known, the most important part of which is to increase the length-to-width ratio of the hull and lower the bow and stern. The length of the keel is more than three times the width of the ship.

With this important indicator, it is believed that a real galen ship can be built. After all, the pirates of the Nyranthor Islands originally had very good shipbuilding technology. At the same time, there are two secret shipbuilding bases, as long as they are packaged and sent. Just come to Willen.

To be on the safe side, he also wrote a letter to Su Li. Ask him to give it to Elves, Queen of Elves, the main content of the letter is only one. That is to ask for a few elven craftsmen.

Glass manufacturing and jewelry processing are simpler, and quartz mines can be seen everywhere in the dark area. As long as you say hello to the underground gnomes, you can really have as much as you need. The craft of burning paper and glass has long been known to many people. Many materials in the alchemy process are glass products. The price of this stuff is not expensive, but it is not. On the cheap.

But there is one thing. No glass craftsman knows how to solve the bubble problem. Only the casters can use the power of magic to expel these nasty little things.

As we all know, hiring a spellcaster is very expensive, and you have to pay a large amount of gold every time you cast a spell. Therefore, glass products that have no bubbles or less bubbles are expensive, and some glass crafts are even more valuable than pure natural crystals.

Henry shamelessly told Su Li about the two methods of removing bubbles, the stirring method and the artificial blowing method. The former is already well-known to many people on the earth, and the latter is to blow up large bubbles at the bottom of the glass solution through a tube. , It can also play a very good effect by taking the small bubbles away by floating up the big bubbles.

He requested that the glass workshop must be built in a cave leading to the dark area outside the city. In this way, as long as the entrances and exits are guarded, the secret can be well hidden. Coupled with the supply of a large amount of cheap quartz ore, it will soon be able to seize a large market share.

Of course, in order to prevent someone from being tempted to leak the secret, some dark elf assassins are arranged around, so it is foolproof.

And jewelry processing is even simpler. Underground gnomes and dark elves generally only retain those parts that can make magic rune items, and they cannot carry magic power and small gems. They don’t need them at all. They take this part of the waste to humans and cut and polish them, and then pass Merchants sell them to all parts of the world, which is another significant income.

Looking at the densely recorded plans, materials, and technologies in his hand, Su Li couldn’t help but show a wry smile: “Master, you have to send the relevant officials as soon as possible. My education level is not high, and I am limited to reading lingua franca. Write, and these many highly professional things can’t be done without enough knowledge.”

“Don’t worry, I will send all the personnel over soon. You just have to separate the pirates and the navy completely first, and take care of the tolls. As for the other items.” Henry knew this. Things are not in a hurry, so no specific time limit is given.

Needless to say anything else. It is very troublesome to build a large shipyard alone, let alone a glass workshop that requires a large number of skilled craftsmen.

“Understood, I will purge those pirates right away and make them all abide by the rules.” As Su Li turned around, he was about to go out. It seemed that he wanted to implement this matter immediately.

Henry hurriedly pulled him back: “Don’t worry. It’s too late to do this thing tomorrow. Take me underground first.”

“Underground?!” Su Li was taken aback, and immediately nodded. “No problem, I’ll call the last team of guards. Although the location of the new city chosen by Antlaib is not far away, there are still some monsters on the road occasionally, so it’s safer for more people.”

“No. It’s not necessary, it’s enough to have me and it.” Henry patted Ares, who had been following him all the time. The big brown bear disguised as a panda knew instantly, and stretched out his paw directly on the marble floor. A few nicks, look at its relaxed and happy look. Obviously it’s not too much effort at all.

After finishing all this, Ares shook the hair on his body triumphantly. Perhaps it was because of eating too much Karinshan’s greasy food, and layers of flesh appeared on his body, which seemed full of joy.

However, Su Li was not confused by the superficial phenomenon. He squatted down to check the scratches on the ground carefully, and instantly gasped, “Gods are up! This strange bear is terrible! Its claws are probably better than steel. Even harder! Sharper than a sword!”

“Let’s go, there is it. I guarantee that those monsters won’t even have a chance to come close.” After saying that Henry turned and left the office and walked straight to the city gate.

He remembered very clearly that there was a cave not far from the city of Willen that was the entrance to the gloomy region. The one located in the Elf Temple has been completely sealed. In order to prevent a similar situation from happening again, Queen Elise even asked the wizards to set a strong seal. Even if the gods come, they may not be able to do anything. This also means that the peninsula Nearby, there is only one exit left.

The two swaggered across the street. Walking eastward out of the city gate, it didn’t take long before he came to the entrance. A group of about two hundred human soldiers were stationed at the door, all of whom had escaped alive from the gloomy region. Only after they saw the dark elves or the underground monsters, they would not panic.

Henry did not seem to be recognized by anyone, so basically Su Li came forward. As the most competent chief executive in this land, no one dared to intercept him at all. It only took a few minutes to pass unimpeded. Entered the cave.

After walking in the dim cave for about ten minutes, Henry was surprised to find that on both sides of the tunnel in front of the wall, there was a torch blessed with the “Indestructible Flame” at intervals. It looked like it should be. The masterpiece of the dark elf mage, and the road has been cleared and widened, enough to accommodate a standard caravan.

There is no doubt This is a special break for the transportation of materials, even the narrowest place can accommodate six los beasts walking side by side.

“This was the first project planned by Antlaib a few months ago. He was quite foresighted. If the roads were not built first, it would be difficult for daily necessities such as food, salt, cloth, spices and seafood to arrive in time.” Su Li took the initiative to stand up and explain.

As someone who saw the road being built with his own eyes, he admired the magic skills of the dark elves and the stone magic of the underground gnome. If it weren’t for the construction of an underground city that requires a lot of labor, he would like to leave a part of the underground gnome.

These little guys are simply born masters of architects. With their strong affinity for earth elements, they can easily perform terrain-changing spells, some of which are as powerful as level 9 magic.

“Yes, with this road, all kinds of underground specialties can be shipped out far and wide, and your glass workshop will not have to worry about the shortage of raw materials in the future. It seems that Antlaib has done a good job. Let’s go, I can’t wait to see what the new underground city looks like now.” After finishing talking, Henry quickened his pace, followed the light of the torch all the way forward, and soon disappeared at the end of the dark and deep passage… (unfinished) to be continued)
