And Yan Zhiliang's words made a huge change in the structure of the predetermined industry in Byronsburg. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Since the land required for the first annex village had already been cleared, and there was a flat area at the mouth of the saltwater river where a village could be established, it was much less difficult to establish a village on the shores of the saltwater lake than for the second village to be cultivated in the mountains. Therefore, the leadership immediately drew half of the manpower from the reclamation team and went here to cut timber and develop salt works.

The teams that set up villages on the shores of saltwater lakes will set up camp directly in the area, and Byrensburg will regularly deliver food to the site. Maier asked Changrong to send ten security soldiers to the construction site on the shore of the saltwater lake, and Yu Changnian was appointed as an overseer there.

Maier told Yu Changnian that he should build the salt factory as soon as possible and dry a batch of coarse salt. He was going to send the coarse salt to the trading post first, to exchange supplies with the merchants, and preferably to make some money from them.

Of course, the bulk of the coarse salt must be sold to the Heyan family, which Maier had already negotiated with Heyan Zhiliang.

On the third day after the construction of the salt works, Yu Changnian sent someone back to report that someone had caught several large fish one after another with rudimentary fishing gear made of fishing lines and needles. This means that there must be fish in the Great Lake, and there must be quite a few of them.

Unfortunately, there were no fishermen in Byronsburg, let alone anyone who could build ships. People who work on the shores of saltwater lakes set up a rudimentary fishing platform by the lake and fish with equally rudimentary fishing gear. Even so, they still catch hundreds of big fish every day. This is because the lake has existed in natural conditions for more than 100 years, during which time no one has ever come to fish.

They sent some of the fish back to Byrensburg for everyone to try, while the rest was simply processed and hung directly on wood to dry.

The advent of fish and fish soup has boosted the morale of the people of Bairensburg, and everyone wants to eat fresh fish, so more and more people want to take the initiative to move to the shores of the saltwater lake. Maier didn't want to discourage everyone, but there were enough workers on the shores of the saltwater lake, and it would be a waste of labor to send them over.

At the suggestion of Nami Layman, he sent some people into the forest to collect mountain goods, and formed a special hunting team to provide Byrensburg with additional food types, and even better if he could catch live animals. This initiative has greatly reduced the number of people who want to work on the shores of the saltwater lake, but it has also reduced the number of people who have been reclaimed in the second affiliated village in the mountains.

Well...... Originally, there were 6,000 people, but I didn't expect it to be enough now.

Mel was depressed in the room reviewing the various reports, and his frown never let go.

On October 19, Uris bought a large shipment of paper from a trader. After that, the leadership did not allow Meier to go out to work again. At the ad hoc meeting, they determined the responsibilities of each person, as well as the standard format of the work report, and the form and time of its submission.

After that, Myer's main task was to review the reports, check the progress of the work, hold regular meetings every Monday, and hold impromptu meetings in the council chamber when important matters needed to be discussed.

Nami Ju is responsible for the overall planning and land-use adjustment of Byrensburg, and Yan He is her assistant. Of course, the so-called assistant is just an idle job, because Yan He can't help Nami Jushi in this regard at all. Mel did this because there was really no work for her to do in Byronsburg, and as soon as she was out of sight of Nami Layman, she would go to Myer's warehouse to steal the century-old wine to drink.

Fortunately, Maier attaches great importance to that batch of century-old wine, and has already sent people to take strict care of it, so so far Yanhe has not succeeded once.

Yishan is in charge of personnel assignment, and her daily work is similar to that of Maier. Uris is still in charge of the Westgate Trading Post and the Westgate Market, and often has to run to the Westgate Trading Station.

Xiaoxiao is arranged to be a secretary next to Meyer, which is not what Mel meant, but Ullis's suggestion. In fact, where Mel can't see, Xiaoxiao has been in contact with Ulis, and as early as the beginning of October, the two have been called sisters. Euris has always thought that Xiaoxiao is on her side in the dispute between the two wives, and has no idea about Mel, seeing her as her own. She arranged Xiaoxiao next to Meier, naturally to prevent Yishan from approaching Meier.

It turns out that Yishan's chances of getting close to Maier have indeed decreased after this, but the number of times Xiaoxiao and Maier make out has also increased significantly. Fortunately, Xiaoxiao does not mean to compete for the position of wife, with the heat of her relationship with Myer, as long as she is willing to speak, Mel will definitely try her best to make her a wife.

When Maier was working, the three maids could only wait outside the bedroom, during which Xiaoxiao was responsible for serving tea and pouring water for Meier, pinching his shoulders and beating his back, and helping him "relax his nerves". Of course, these things were done behind closed doors, and the three maids waiting outside had no idea what was happening in the bedroom.

Xiaoxiao is illiterate, so Maier will take the time to teach her Leiting, Ira and Taeyong. Since the Yron script was mainly used in the Yra script for the Byronsburg documents, it was the Ira script that Mel taught the most. Yishan and Euris used their own script when writing reports, and Mel's mother was from a Taerong aristocratic background, so he was familiar with Taejong. Mel doesn't learn the ancient language very well, but it's okay just to read.

In this way, Yishan can make a fuss on the report. She often puts stationery in the reports she submits, and uses this as a way to make lover-to-love requests with Myer. Maier doesn't hate this way of communicating, and finds it very emotional.

"It's Yishan's letter again."

Xiaoxiao rested her chin on Myer's chin and pouted as she read Yishan's letter to Myer.

"Hmm...... I'm a girl's title...... Mel ...... Rabbit...... Midday...... Belch...... At night...... Well...... Mel ...... Moon...... Uh......"

Xiaoxiao read out all the words she knew, which made Mel find it a little funny. He reached out and pinched her smiling face, kissed her on the other side of her cheek, and then said.

"Yishan said that there were rabbits in this mountain, and she wanted to go hunting at noon, so she asked me if I wanted to go. If I don't go, can I have tea with her in the evening and see the moon? ”

"Are you going?"

"At noon, I have to go to the saltwater lake to see the salted fish, so I can't go hunting. It's okay to drink tea, and I just have time in the evening. ”

Mel's words made Smile puff out his cheeks and sigh.

"When I was at the Black Shrine, I heard that Emperor Ira had thousands of wives, and he had to decide where to go at night. I didn't expect that my Maier had not yet become an emperor, and he had not even married, so he lived a life of flopping. ”

"Ouch? I'll see which mouth is talking nonsense. ”

Mel turned his face, pinched Smiling's cheek and pulled it gently to the sides, then pulled his face closer.

"Is this one?"

"It's this one, there's a kind of kiss me!"

"Think beautifully."

Mel's fingers used a little force, and then he kissed the tip of his smiling nose.

"I don't stay with her at night, isn't it a flop?"

"Huh? Do you know how to flop? ”

"How did I not know? This kind of story is very common in the teahouses of the Ira, and it is all meat drama in the back. ”

"Meat play?!"

As soon as Xiaoxiao heard this topic, she suddenly came to her senses.

"Tell me about it!"

"I won't talk about it." Maier smiled, "If I did, I wouldn't have the energy to work today." ”

After the night of the celebration, there had never been that atmosphere between Maier and Xiaoxiao, so the two had not done anything like that. As soon as Mel said this, the atmosphere in the bedroom became ambiguous. The lips of the two were getting closer and closer, and they breathed greedily into the air with each other's smell with their nostrils, and their eyes seemed to be glued together with super glue.

"Even if you don't talk about it, you won't have the energy to work today."

Smile reached out and stroked Mel's hair. Mel turned sideways and let Xiaoxiao sit on his lap, one hand around her waist, the other hand reached under Xiaoxiao's skirt, and stroked Xiaoxiao's delicate thighs - the rule of not touching below the waist was ruthlessly abandoned by Xiaoxiao a month ago.

Just as the lips of the two were about to touch, there was a sudden movement outside the door.

"Is Mistress Maier there?"

Yu Mingli's voice sounded a little out of breath, as if he had been rushing all the way here. As soon as Xiaoxiao heard this voice, she knew that Yu Mingli must have something urgent to find Maier, so she could only reluctantly give Maier a kiss, and then left his embrace. Maier straightened her clothes and adjusted her mindset before giving Xiaoxiao a look and asking her to open the bedroom door.

"Mel...... Your Excellency is here, Mingli come in quickly. ”

Xiaoxiao's popularity in Bairensburg is very good, even Yan He, who hates foreigners, can get along with her. Yu Mingli was no exception, and soon after she was appointed deputy sheriff, Xiaoxiao could call her by her first name.

Yu Mingli nodded to Xiaoxiao as a greeting, and then hurriedly walked past the three maids and walked into Myer's bedroom.

"Mingli, what's going on?"

"Lord Maier, together with the Simon Trading Post garrison, we have captured a man who wants to infiltrate Byronsburg."

"What?"

A force that suddenly appears will definitely arouse the vigilance of the surrounding forces, and it is very normal to send people to spy on it. Byronsburg had already expelled more than thirty foreign spies, and Maier had handed over the matter to Changrong with full authority, and it stands to reason that Yu Mingli should not come to him for such a matter.

As the saying goes, abnormality is a demon, and since Yu Mingli has found Maier, it means that this matter should not be simple.

"What is the identity of the other party?"

"It's a girl." Yu Mingli replied with a complicated face, "She speaks with an accent very similar to that of Master Maier, and she should be a Leiting person." ”

"The Lettings?"

Among the forces around Byronsburg, there is no Leiting force, and it stands to reason that there should be no Leiding force to send spies over. Even if they sent spies, they would definitely not send their own people, because the Leting accent is extremely rare here.

"We asked her about the purpose of her invasion of Byronsburg, and she just handed us a letter and told us to give it to you, saying that you would know it after reading it, and nothing else. We thought something was going on and we'd like to report back to you. ”

"Hmm...... It's really weird. ”

Maier nodded thoughtfully, and at this time, Yu Mingli took the letter from his pocket and handed it to Maier with both hands.

"Mistress Maier, the letter has been opened and examined by us, and it is safe."

Maier took the envelope, suspiciously took out the letter, opened it, and bit her lower lip to read it.

The moment he saw the contents of the letter, Myer's expression changed suddenly. He just read the first line, then directly put away the letter, grabbed Yu Mingli's hand, and asked in a serious tone.

"Where is that girl being held?"
