Dragon Roar Harbor.

It was the first port established by Steubin on the main island of the Great Bay Islands, and it was also the largest.

The geographical location is excellent, located in the belly of the crescent-shaped Dawan Island, which can not only overlook the entire Dawan Island from the geographical location, but also is a natural haven itself, enough to fit the entire Third Fleet.

After the establishment of the East China Sea Kingdom, it was natural to set this place as the national capital.

Compared with normal cities, Longhao Port is obviously deformed.

The overall building here is divided into four main parts.

The first part, of course, is the port, and the huge port is the root of their roots, whether it is a fleet sortie, or fishing and hunting.

The second part is the large number of shipyards, which is the foundation of their foothold.

The third part, the large tavern, which is the first place most sailors go to after they go ashore, and the place where they stay for the longest time, it is difficult for those who have no sailing experience to imagine how risky it is, the empty boredom of floating on the endless sea for a long time.

Many sailors were tainted with alcoholism, and it was normal for these taverns to come ashore and indulge themselves in drunken dreams.

Growing up on a ship, Stubbin naturally knows this, and of course he will not miss the perfect opportunity to control them and reclaim their wealth by the way.

The fourth part is Stubbin's personal castle palace, which is the most luxurious complex in Longroar Harbor, which has not yet been completed, and every day thousands of ragged islanders are whipped with leather whips, quarrying and cutting wood to add bricks and tiles to this gorgeous palace.

This castle palace that has seen the outline is very characteristic of the East China Sea Kingdom, and from a distance, it is simply a super giant warship lying on land, and the Dragon Roar, the former flagship of the Third Fleet, is impressively similar.

Stubbin's royal palace is located at the highest point, large enough to overlook the entire Dragon Roar Harbor.

"Your Majesty, this is the last month, the surrounding reaction back intelligence, a total of eighteen slave escapes, three of which are collective slave escapes, those indigenous mountain people in the south of the village as many as eight incidents, according to the spy report we planted in their midst, the indigenous mountain people and those serfs have signs of tandem, ready to take a big action against us on the occasion of this year's autumn harvest, although there is no accurate news, but this matter has to be prevented, after all, we have been in business for so long, it is not easy to see a little harvest. John Maynard Keynes, the Chancellor of the Exchequer of the East China Sea, said.

It is one thing for the East China Sea to claim to be the ruler of the East China Sea, but it is another thing for the local people to submit to their rule.

To this day, they have not completed the unification of the main island of the Dawan Islands, and their main territory is now the north of the island, which has many natural deep-water ports, and the south of the island, which is dominated by high mountains and mountains, is still under the control of the local islanders, and various conflicts and riots are continuous.

Before Stubbin, the king of the East China Sea Kingdom, who was shaking his red wine glass, could speak, the captain of the First Fleet of the East China Sea Kingdom, ** Moore, said with a disapproving look: "I said a long time ago, Keynes, you are wasting manpower and material resources, what do you need, let's go out and grab it, why waste time and effort to cultivate it yourself? ”

Keynes replied with a solemn expression: "** Captain Moore, when you speak, I thought about it, to this day, your thoughts have not been corrected, we are not in the West Sea, but in the East Sea, and we are no longer the Third Fleet of the Combined Fleet of the Cummins Family, but the East Sea Fleet of King Stubbin."

We are no longer merchants, let alone pirates, but the regular army of the country, and all the property and inhabitants here are our people, who are we going to rob?

Management and construction are the foundation of a kingdom's development and growth, although this kind of thing is not as easy to see results as plundering, but it is the most correct path, as long as we persist in walking, I believe it will not be long before we can see the results. ”

"Don't tell me these useless truths, I want to see the results, and only the results. Moore said with disdain, "When you rebuke me with these great truths, first think about how the grain and wealth in the treasury you garrison came from, how much of it was grown by you, and how much of it was brought back by me when I led my brothers out to plunder?"

You're a smart person, it shouldn't be hard to figure out, right?

The oil and water of the local aborigines have indeed been squeezed out by us in recent years, but there is a bigger object there, you won't see it, right?

Compared to your crappy construction and farming skills, people are professionals.

Look at you, it took four or five years to build a few dilapidated manor villages, and how much land was cultivated?

If you look at the Eternal Night Commander, the movements that have been made in half a year are bigger than yours.

If you want me to say, what people do in this life is destined by nature.

Instead of trying to do the kind of things that don't make a difference, it's better to do what you do best.

Our autumn harvest is coming, which means that the commander of the Eternal Night Army is also coming soon.

Even better, the autumn harvest season overlaps with the rainy season, and at this time, the river overflows again, and some impassable sections of the river can accommodate the entry of small warships.

It is the perfect time for us to make a big move, and if His Majesty gives me the right to dispatch all our fleets, I promise that in two months our granaries will be filled with new grain. ”

When it came to the end, ** Moore was impassioned, and he almost didn't pat his chest to promise.

Obviously, this is not a temporary idea, but this matter has been planned for a long time, and now it is just an opportunity to throw it out.

"Short-sighted short-sighted. Keynes rebuked angrily, "How can the long-term peace and stability of a country be measured by its immediate interests? Several times in all the territorial countries, half of them live entirely on plundering? The captain of the fleet only sees victory, but does not see the risk of failure in plundering, if he succeeds once, he succeeds twice, can you guarantee that he will succeed every time? As long as he fails once, the whole country will face the risk of subversion, and only by establishing a stable internal environment and basically achieving self-sufficiency can we face all kinds of risks." ”

"What kind of risk can there be?" Moore seemed to hear a huge joke, "As long as we guard the safe passage in the South China Sea and prevent the wolf-like fleet from breaking in, we are in the East China Sea, and we are invincible in the East China Sea."

We have already explored the reality of the sea under the Eternal Night Army, and the back and forth is the few warships, and some of them are obtained from us.

At that time, as long as we are outside Jiangmen Port and put on a posture of large-scale invasion, we can contain their main forces, and then send multiple fleets to invade on multiple fronts, I don't believe it, how can they defend such a huge territory?

At that time, there is no risk of failure at all, only the big harvest and the small harvest, whether it is a big harvest or a small harvest, the initiative is still in us, not in them, it all depends on how much Your Majesty is willing to give. ”

"You're preparing for an all-out war with the Eternal Night. Keynes's face was a little ugly, "We have been operating here for a short time, our heels have not yet been fully established, if something goes wrong, all the opposition forces will emerge, we are in danger, I think, to eliminate those who resist, is the top priority." ”

"As I just said, there is only a big harvest and a small harvest in this matter, how can there be any risk at all?" **Moore sneered, "At most, they can drive us out of the Danube Plain, and they can go to the sea to hunt us down?"

"As long as there is a war, there will be a risk of defeat, don't forget, we have already suffered a loss at the hands of the Eternal Night Commander, the last time, we just decided that they had no power to resist in the face of our fleet, and as a result? Even our flagship Dragon Roar was left there, how can you ensure that the Eternal Night Commander has not developed other new weapons over the years?" Keynes retorted not to be outdone.

"Enough. Stubin slammed the glass in his hand at Keynes's feet, his face as black as the bottom of the pot.

Keynes secretly screamed badly, just now he was only concerned about refuting **Moore, and he actually uncovered the biggest scar of his own majesty.

Usually, if anyone mentions this matter, they will be chopped up by the angry Stubin if they are not careful.

Stubbin's eyes were bloodshot, and his big hands, which became a little white and fat, involuntarily touched the war knife he was wearing.

Father was angry. Leiden on the side hurriedly stepped forward and pressed Stubbin's big hand tightly, "Chief Keynes, he is just discussing the matter, there should be no disrespect and malice, I believe my father must know this." ”

Stubin twitched hard, but he couldn't pull out the knife, the relatively comfortable living environment in the East China Sea made this blood shark a lot more relaxed, not only was his skin a lot fairer, but his personal strength had not improved much over the years, and he was a little weak against his young and strong son.

This undoubtedly further stirred up the anger in his heart, and he shouted angrily: "Let go." ”

"Father. Layton also sensed that his actions were too reckless, and hurriedly let go.

"The minister is guilty, please punish your majesty. Keynes had already reacted at this time, and took the initiative to kneel down and plead guilty, without explaining much at all.

The more you explain this kind of thing, the more you can't explain it.

"I am dedicated to the public, and I have no other intentions, and I ask Your Majesty to be clear. Moore couldn't wait for Stubin to chop Cairns with a knife, so that he would have one less competitor, but this kind of dirty mind can't be so obvious, at least Stubin hasn't been so stupid.

"Father. Layton reminded in a low voice again.

The sword was half-drawn by Stubin and froze in place, he couldn't chop off his own Chancellor of the Exchequer because of Keynes's unpleasant words, right?

In the East China Sea, there is no shortage of brave generals like **Moore.

But there are very few people like Keynes who are good at construction and financial management.

Especially after the establishment of the East China Sea Kingdom, after they stabilized, Stubin became more and more attached to Keynes, because he had clearly felt that the current ruling model was more and more different from the original, and there was no way to solve all the problems just by fighting and killing what Moore said.

As Keynes just said, now that the entire East China Sea is under their rule, where is the reason to plunder their own people?

That's definitely short-sighted, and it's the way to get them to pay taxes and tribute.

"Huhu ......" Stubbin was like an angry beast, spewing out of anger, with a suffocated anger in his heart, but he couldn't vent it, and finally pushed the war knife back, waved his hand heavily, and said, "Get up, Keynes is not guilty, he is right, the damage of the Dragon's Roar in the small ditch of the Danube River was caused by my carelessness, I will correct my mistakes, **Moore, prepare for war with all my might, this time I will personally go out to fight, trample the Eternal Night Army, and force them to return the Dragon's Roar to us." ”

"Your Majesty!" said Keynes.

"Father!" Layton.

"Needless to say, I know what I'm doing. "I'm not drunk yet, Keynes, I agree with you very much, for a kingdom, a real kingdom, business and construction are essential, and only with its own people and taxes, a kingdom can be called its own kingdom."

It is precisely because I agree with you that I will order you to be my Chancellor of the Exchequer, and what you have done all these years, I have always watched, you have done well, at least better than the idiot Moore has to do.

To this day, he still regards himself as a bandit, not the first general in the East China Sea.

We used to be pirates, so it doesn't mean we've been pirates all our lives.

We are different from the territory above the Eternal Night Army, they started from this, especially the Eternal Night Army, and it can't be measured by the territory we knew before, the speed of construction is not uncommon above us, but don't be discouraged, even if we take a little detour, we will eventually return to the right track. ”

"Your Majesty is wise. Keynes praised loudly, and his heart was somewhat moved, yes, King Stubin has been silently supporting himself, and without his support, he would not even be where he is today.

"Those mountain people in the south are indeed a big trouble, why don't I want to get rid of them all? It's just that our sons are all good at one on the water, and it is difficult for them to exert their strength when they reach the lofty mountains and mountains.

What's more, we belong to outsiders, and the local natives can't believe it, and our main force must not be seriously hit, otherwise even those who have taken refuge in us may betray us again.

This matter still needs to be managed slowly, just like your farming, only when the roots are deeply rooted in it and some of the locals are used by us, we will organize them into an army and encircle and suppress them. ”

Stubin is far more wise than he shows, able to command a large fleet, and set up his own excesses, he does not rely on blood bravery, behind the ferocity there is also his own cunning and overall view, "Of course, we can't let them destroy, we must make them pay a heavy price, Layton." ”

"In. Leiden, the Great Prince of the East China Sea Kingdom, hurriedly stepped forward.

"This matter will be left to the new army you are forming to handle, hang all the fugitive slaves, and their families, in public, and execute all the slaves suspected of colluding with the mountain people in the south, and I want them to know that I, Stubbin, cannot be easily betrayed. Stubbin's face was full of coldness.

"Father. A trace of hesitation flashed across Layton's face, "Execute the fugitive slaves, warn the other slaves, I have no objection, if their families are also involved, is it too bloody, it is easy to provoke greater resistance, and it is not conducive to the stability of our rule." ”

Stubin stared at Layton coldly, staring at him a little uncomfortable, before he nodded and said: "Very good, very good, very good, this matter, I have thought about it too late, this matter cannot be done by your new army, Keynes This matter is still left to you to do, I will send an elite to you." ”
