"Is this the wall of the island?" Sean asked, looking at Joyce and Corey as he looked dusty and sweaty, pointing to a building in the distance.

Corey wiped the sweat from his forehead and shook his shirt regardless of the image, looking like he was being damaged by the heat. Although it was early autumn and the weather was not as hot as summer, the early autumn noon was still relatively muggy, and with the salty and wet sea breeze, working on the beach was indeed not a pleasant thing.

"Yes, Lord Lord, the construction of the city wall is currently about one-sixth of the way completed, and I believe that the first phase of construction will be completed in two to three months, thanks to Lord Lord and Lord Joyce for their great support. ”

"So fast?" Sean couldn't believe the progress of this construction, half a month to build one-sixth of the progress, this is already considered a god speed, this world does not have the mechanical assistance of construction.

Joyce saw Sean's surprised appearance, and also invited credit: "Because of your orders, Lord Lord, most of the manpower on the island is basically invested in the construction of the city wall, plus Vic has transported a large number of bricks, coal and clay according to the agreement before, which ensures the materials for the construction of the city wall. However, after this period of construction, the materials of the island will soon be bottomed out again. ”

When Joyce mentioned this, Sean remembered, "How about the castle's jewels, and how do they sell?"

Joyce was a little helpless: "The jewelry has no market at all, and it can't be sold for a price, so this transaction is still paid for with salt and gold coins." And as autumn progresses, the size of the salt pond is expanding, but the salt production is declining. ”

Whether it is the sale of jewelry or the production of salt, Sean has long been mentally prepared, Sean smiled: "It's okay, as long as the castle's gold coins and salt are enough to pay." By the way, it has now entered early autumn, how to expand cotton planting before, and it is necessary to prepare enough cotton clothes to prevent winter. ”

"Rest assured, my lord, that all the cotton has been bounced according to your requirements and handed over to the craftsman for cotton clothes. In addition, all the cotton seeds have been replanted, and it is believed that the next harvest will be enough for the cotton needs of the entire island. ”

"In addition, according to your previous land reform, the cultivated land independently cultivated by the island lords has reached more than 3,000 acres, because you asked to speed up the construction of the city wall and the initial domain, so the castle forcibly requisitioned a lot of lords to build buildings, otherwise the number of cultivated land may be further increased. ”

Of course, Sean knows how much enthusiasm the privatization of land can bring to the people below, although this land privatization is not a privatization in the real sense, but in the consciousness of the people: as long as the land is not abandoned, the castle will not reclaim the land, which is no different from their own land. After all, paying such a large sum of money to buy land, if the land is repossessed by the castle due to its abandonment, it is an unacceptable loss for them.

Sean nodded. "Corey, take me to see the city wall that has been built, this is a matter of the safety of the island, the whole project would rather be slower than the quality of the project. ”

"Your Excellency, don't worry, I understand this. I am supervising the construction of the whole process, and there will be no quality problems, please come with me. Corey stepped out half of his body and motioned for Sean to move forward.

Sean looked at Corry, who had been meticulously dressed and groomed before, and now was covered with dirt and sweat, and his skin was much darker than before, and he understood that Corey had indeed invested a lot in the construction of the city wall.

"You have worked hard, and you have contributed a lot to the construction of the island. ”

The walls of the island are made of rock-polished bricks, which are mixed with sand forged by the islands to form an impregnable whole. Sean stepped on the stairs of the city wall and slowly walked to the top of the city wall, and he was thrilled to think of the scene where the professional of the island would attack the enemy on the ground above the city wall in the future, and the enemy could only resist powerlessly on the ground.

"Corey, well done, the first phase of the city wall construction will be built according to this standard, and after the first phase of the city wall is completed, you will be celebrated. Sean put his hands on the walls of the city wall and excitedly promised Corey.

"My lord, this is what I should do, and besides, this is also the opportunity you gave me to complete such a miraculous building. Corey was calm, he was not interested in other rewards, and the completion of the construction of the wall in front of him was the greatest reward for him.

According to Sean's vision, the first phase of the city wall construction is only 3 meters high and 3 meters wide, which can withstand most of the enemies, but some powerful enemies, such as the eight-armed Naga fishmen, the 3-meter-high city wall still can't stop their pace, but as long as the island is given time, the construction of the 10-meter-high and 3-meter-wide city wall is completed, and Sean will have the confidence to start a full-scale war with the eight-armed Naga fishmen.

Sean looked out at the sea in the distance, and his heart was full of pride. Suddenly, he noticed a ship in the sea, speeding towards the island.

"Only one ship?" Sean thought a little puzzled, after all, if it was trade, a ship would be a little too cold, let alone a hostile force. "Is it the shipwreck?"

Unable to figure it out, Sean descended the city wall, and as soon as he got off the wall, he saw a member of the guard running towards him quickly.

"I see, inform Nick. Sean didn't wait for the members of the guard to report, and directly ordered that the current strength of the island is not what it used to be, and that he will not make a big move in the face of unknown forces again, and that he, Nick and the guard are enough to deal with the upcoming ships.

Soon, Nick was standing behind Sean and waiting for the ship to anchor.

"Vic, could it be that the trading fleet on White Pigeon Island is under attack?" Sean looked at Vic in the distance, a little confused.

Vic in the distance clearly saw Sean and ran towards him excitedly. Before anyone arrived, an anxious voice came: "Mr. Sean, help, please save our lord." ”

When Sean heard this, he quickly stepped forward and asked, "What happened, being attacked by other islands?"

"Mr. Sean, it's too late to explain, please hurry up and support White Pigeon Island. Vic stepped forward and grabbed Sean's arm, trying to pull him in the direction of the ship.

"Vic, you know my character, I wouldn't have set sail if I didn't know the specific situation, so please tell me as soon as possible what is going on and what the strength of the enemy is. Nick, you inform Taylor that he may be going to fight again soon. ”

Vic has always behaved calmly and retreated moderately, and Sean is also the first time to see him lose his square inch, it can be imagined that Monroe is indeed in a very critical situation.

Sean's scolding made Vic slowly calm down and begin to briefly describe what happened on White Dove Island.
