Chapter 43: The Merchant's Revisit
"My lord, Vic is here. Durle's shouts came from outside the door.
Sean stopped his vindictive training, moved his stiff body slightly, and followed Duru down the hall. When he went down the hall, Joyce was already talking to Vic, and seeing the two of them talking and laughing, Sean knew that there shouldn't be much of a problem with the agreement.
Vic also saw Sean coming down, and quickly stopped talking and walked up to Sean to greet him, "Lord Lord is well." ”
Sean nodded, walked to the main seat and sat down, and said with a smile: "Mr. Vic can make us wait for Sean Island for a long time, we are all wondering when Mr. Vic will be able to visit Sean Island." ”
"My lord, I'm so sorry, it's really a little bit wrong on White Pigeon Island, so it's been delayed for a while, but fortunately, everything is fine. ”
"Oh, please be bold about the places where you need Sean Island's help, Sean Island treats friends as warm as spring. ”
With a smile on his face, Vic said, "Thank you, Lord Lord, the problem has been solved at present, it is just the invasion of some sea monsters, but under the powerful force of White Pigeon Island, those miscellaneous pieces have been solved in a devastating manner." ”
Sean must have thought to himself: "Sure enough". At present, all the islands are in the early stage of sailing, and the probability of a large-scale island war is very small, unless it is a great enemy of life and death, or a full-scale war is impossible, excluding this possibility, the biggest trouble should be the sea monster, after all, Sean Island has also suffered.
"What is the strength of the sea monsters encountered on White Pigeon Island, what kind of sea monsters are they. In fact, Sean Island has also been invaded. ”
Vic's heart sank, and his face was a little solemn.
"Is Sean Island also invaded, that's not good news. As for the sea monsters that invaded White Pigeon Island, there were fish-headed human bodies and octopus-like monsters, but their strength was not strong, and they did not surpass the silver swordsmen. It's just that due to the suddenness of the incident, White Pigeon Island was unprepared, and a lot of property and serfs were damaged. ”
"Octopus?" Sean also had a bad premonition in his heart, sure enough, the sea monster army is not a single fish-man small sea monster and lizard warrior, there must be more troops. The only good news is that the strength is not high, but the further you go, the stronger the sea monster will definitely become.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little solemn, Joyce couldn't help clapping his hands and said, "Let's go back to the trade between the two islands, this time Mr. Vic has brought a lot of goods and people." ”
"I wonder what surprise Mr. Vic has brought us?" Sean was also interested after hearing this, whether it was population, iron ore, or food, it was the best if it could be replenished through this trade.
Vic also said proudly: "Lord Lord, in addition to the population and some beasts agreed on last time, we have also brought a lot of iron ore in this trade, I don't know if Lord Lord is interested." ”
"Iron ore, that's a good thing, of course you need it, the more the merrier. Why don't you take us on a tour first?" Sean was also excited when he heard the news of the iron ore, he still remembered that the last time he talked about iron ore, Vic was still so firm that he didn't trade ore, and he didn't know why he suddenly changed his tune this time.
"Your Excellency, please, the shippers are unloading. Vic stepped aside half of his position and bowed in please.
Due to the previous secrecy, the reception of Vic was a small road that bypassed the initial collar and the wheat field. Through two contacts, Sean discovers that there is no need to be so wary of White Dove Island, and the most important thing is Taylor, the golden swordsman behind Sean. After thinking about it, he said, "Mr. Vic, this time I will also take you to visit our Sean Island. ”
Out of the castle, Sean and Taylor did not ride horses, but walked. The project of animal husbandry and domestication is too low-tech, but Sean still deliberately keeps this secret.
The seven of them walked on the spacious concrete road, the trees along the way rustled and the breeze came.
Vic stepped on the concrete road under his feet and couldn't help but ask in surprise, "My lord, I don't know how the road under your feet is built, it's just incredible." This is comparable to the green rock paved road of White Pigeon Island Castle, but this road takes on a monolithic form, and I don't know how to do it. ”
"This is a specialty of Shawn Island: cement. Cement is used as an adhesive to bond the bricks well, and the cement road under your feet is paved with cement and bricks, leading to the beach. Sean pointed to the concrete road and introduced. Sooner or later, cement is going to be exposed, so there's no need to hide it, as long as the formula is firmly in your hands.
Vic was shocked and said, "Paving the beach? This is a big project, and it seems that the lord has a lot of people under his command." I wonder if the cement that the lord said can be traded?"
Sean shook his head in embarrassment and said: "Not for the time being, in the early stage of the construction of Sean Island, all kinds of materials are scarce, and the output of cement is also very low, and it cannot meet the demand of Sean Island at present, so there is no idea of trading for the time being, but if the cement production supply is sufficient in the future, we will also consider cement trade." ”
Vic looked disappointed.
"That's a shame. ”
Sean's mood suddenly improved, and the frustration of the last time Sean asked for trading ships and shipbuilders to be rejected disappeared in an instant.
"It feels good to pretend to be forced. ”
In fact, Sean does not plan to trade cement, cement, as a major weapon for island construction, is only king if it is firmly in his own hands. As for why he took Vic to visit these secrets today, on the one hand, it is to show the strength of Sean Island, and on the other hand, it is also to deter White Pigeon Island, so that White Pigeon Island has enough importance to Sean Island.
Just like this trade, it was more than a month apart from the last trade, and in addition to the invasion of sea monsters, White Pigeon Island's contempt for Sean Island is also estimated to be a large factor.
Take Vic around the wheat field and come to the initial collar. The initial collar is still lively, the frolicking of children, the cursing of adults are constantly sounding, and many people are also shuttling on the road, a busy scene.
Vic was surprised and pointed to the three-storey cement house in front of him and asked, "My lord, the house in front of you should also be made of cement, and the material is very similar to the cement road." ”
Sean nodded and said, "Yes." At that time, the residential areas of Sean Island will be built in accordance with this standard, such as residential areas, commercial areas, and handicraft areas. Sean paused and continued to jokingly, "Maybe when Mr. Vic wants to trade with Sean Island, he can trade directly with the residents." ”
"If you follow your plan, my lord, this is a big project, and the lords of Sean Island are living and working in peace, my lord is really ambitious. Vic sighed and had to admit that he had seen the wrong person. When he visited for the first time, the lord in front of him was still just a down-and-out nobleman with some strange fetishes, but he didn't expect to develop the island like this in just one month.
From farming to island building, everything is going in order, and it's going so well.
"Maybe this is the advantage of the aristocracy, although there are many gentlemen, but the nobles who enjoy a good education, there are more elites among them. Vic thought silently, suddenly feeling that the trade was a bit boring.
"Mr. Vic, let's hurry to the beach and see how our goods and population are doing, but don't let anything go wrong. Sean urged.
"Yes, my lord. ”
