Chapter XVIII: The Departure of the Flotilla
On the castle table, there was still white bread and bacon, but Sean had an extra plate of conch food in front of him, which Sean had specially instructed Durle to send his people to the beach to catch.
He felt that as a lord, only after satisfying his appetite could he better contribute to the development of the island and the improvement of the quality of life of the people.
Since the conch has been made into food, he doesn't know what the variety of the conch is, but looking at the snail meat that has been boiled white in front of him, as well as the sauce next to it, Sean has a great appetite, and he doesn't care about aristocratic etiquette, so he forks up a piece of snail meat with a fork, sticks the sauce and puts it in his mouth to taste it.
The snail meat is very chewy and the taste is very delicious, a bit like the geoduck sashimi in the previous life, but it is more chewy and has a better taste.
"This is the food that a wise lord should have, how can white bread set off my identity. Sean thought to himself.
"I'm sure everyone knows about the visit of the merchants of Sean Island, and everyone will talk about it. In the future, there is no need to observe table manners, and it is still the same sentence, there is no noble fingering from the original continent here. Sean said as he enjoyed the delicious taste of the conch.
"My lord, I think it's a good thing, trade can speed up the island's development. According to your previous instructions, rice seeds have been successfully traded, but the amount is not large, and it is estimated that only 500 acres of land can be planted. ”
"The price of a living beast cannot be determined for the time being, but it is estimated that 500 people will cost 100 gold, and now the castle's finances cannot afford this cost, so there is no need to change the agreement. ”
Joyce first said that when the businessman visited, he had to complete the most important negotiation and exchange, so he could naturally perform better in front of Sean. It's just that now the total amount of trade set by Sean is too large, and the castle can't support this cost, which makes him more worried.
"This is a problem, there is no product that can be exported on the island at the moment, but it will be fine in the future, the trade agreement does not need to be changed for the time being, I have a way. How's the farming going?"
"At present, the cultivation of the wasteland has come to an end, and it is expected that the cultivation will be completed in two days, and the plough tool designed by the lord is still ...... the lords. Joyce said with a slap.
Hearing another piece of good news, Sean put down the food in his hand, interrupted Joyce's words that he still wanted to pat himself on, and said approvingly to Joyce: "Keep up with the matter of farming, release the population as soon as possible, I still have major arrangements below, you count in advance the people who know how to burn pottery and bricks." ”
Then Sean turned his head and saw Taylor frowning and wanting to speak, and couldn't help but say, "Taylor, if there is anything to say directly, don't scruple." ”
"My lord, I think that you suddenly bought such a large number of people, not to mention whether the castle has enough money, if the population reaches Sean Island, it will be a great challenge to the management of the island, after all, our island has only more than 500 people. ”
"In addition, the islands other than Sean Island have gone to sea to trade, and the strength of the people going to sea is not bad, and our island has fallen behind a lot. In addition, I suggested that a patrol team be formed to patrol the border of Sean Island, so as to avoid the recurrence of outsiders approaching the island, and finally the people will report if they find out. ”
"If the enemy attacks, the consequences are unimaginable. ”
"Well, these are all good questions, but they're only temporary difficulties. Population purchase still has to be carried out, population and follow-up management, Taylor, you have formulated regulations here, if you want to develop rapidly, there must be a lot of problems, but I believe in you. ”
"As for the establishment of the patrol team, it will be arranged by you Taylor, and the training of the swordsman team must not be pulled down, and strive to infuse all the seeds of fighting qi as soon as possible. ”
"Duru, the Scribe can officially arrange for the swordsman squad to teach literacy, and there is also the idea of guiding them, and the people can do the same. ”
Sean said all his thoughts and arrangements at once, and ideological education is an important task.
"Rest assured, my lord, I know how to do it. "Duru understood what Sean meant, and in the Initial Continent, he was also familiar with these things.
......
The next day, Sean looked at the twelve teenagers in front of him whose mental outlook had changed greatly, and shouted loudly with a wooden sword: "Taylor can't guide you to train for two days because of other arrangements, and in the future, when Taylor and I are away, York will lead the training." I hope you will contribute to Sean Island as soon as possible, and live up to the castle's cultivation of you. ”
After Sean finished speaking, he picked up the wooden sword and began to run along the dirt path to warm up, and the twelve teenagers behind him hurriedly followed.
The people had long been surprised by this scene, and it was not the first time they had seen it.
"You see how bold the lord is, and I don't know which noble lady can marry the lord. ”
"Don't be springy, even if you get married, it won't be your turn. It's better to look at York in the back, I heard that York was promoted to the captain of the swordsman squad by the lord. If York can become a swordsman, coupled with the appreciation of the lord, he will definitely be able to establish merit. ”
"yes, yes, the others are not bad. ”
Naturally, Sean and the swordsman team behind him would not hear the discussion of the leaders, and they were now fully engaged in training. Ever since Taylor poured the Dou Qi Seed into Sean yesterday, there has been a hot current in his stomach when he was training today, and he subconsciously moved according to the trajectory that Taylor had previously controlled the Dou Qi Seed.
As the fighting spirit ran through, a hot breath stimulated the surrounding muscles, greatly slowing down his fatigue and making him much better than his previous running.
Sean, who should have stopped early to practice swinging his sword, continued to run, and the fourteen teenagers behind him also gritted their teeth and followed under the leadership of York.
Perhaps it was Sean who noticed the rapid panting of the young man behind him, and he slowly stopped, watching the swordsman squad behind him pant with pale faces.
"Stop and rest for ten minutes, and then start swinging the sword. As soon as Sean's words fell, the swordsman squad fell to the ground.
Sean didn't say anything, and this discipline problem was slowly established by Taylor later.
He walked to the side with his sword and began to swing it, and each swing would control the Dou Qi Seed to run towards his arm, which could not only slow down the fatigue caused by swinging the sword, but also strengthen the strength of the arm.
Suddenly, Sean heard another sword-swinging sound in his ears, and he glanced at it, it was York.
He didn't say anything, and continued to concentrate on swinging the sword in his hand, slowly feeling the muscles of his whole body tremble with the swing of the sword, feeling the force of the sword swing in his arm, and feeling the heat of the fighting qi seeds.
Training time passed quickly, and Sean spent all his time training, except for eating.
In the evening, in the castle hall, Sean asked Taylor, who had returned from the beach, "Vic, did they have any other moves today?" ”
Taylor shook his head and said, "No, I'm basically on the boat for the whole time. ”
"Well, on the last day of tomorrow, you will continue to keep an eye on it, and you must not relax. Sean nodded, it seemed that he was overthinking, White Dove Island was indeed here to trade, and he had no intention of making enemies.
Two days passed quickly, during which Sean led the swordsman squad in training, and Taylor continued to monitor Vic's movements. However, until the Vic chart recorded the completion of Sean Island, he did not cross the minefield half a step.
"I don't know when Sean Island had its own fleet. ”
