Clay's summer was even busier than usual, as the commoners of the territory, including those who had relatives serving in the bay, welcomed back the first resting workers after a period of fear, and the news that the workers had brought back was reassuring to most of them.

The ninth-order Warcraft is responsible for the safe bay, and the high-level Warcraft helps to transport heavy objects, three meals a day, all-you-can-eat working meals, and only works eight hours a day, and has a five-day off, and overtime pay and high wages are paid for exceeding the specified time, no matter which one it is, it is really exciting.

You must know that most of the places now work for a long time, not to mention, the salary is also small, not to mention rest, it is difficult to find such a job, most of the civilians rely more on their own fields and farm leisure time to do odd jobs for a living, compared to the conditions provided by the city lord's mansion can not be compared at all.

After confirming the authenticity of the news after the workers who went home to rest, they heard that the two bays were still recruiting, and the civilians who had no land at home and were living in difficulty and those farmers who were catching up with the slack of farming couldn't help but be moved, and packed their bags and ran to sign up.

With the addition of a steady stream of labor, the construction of seaports and shipyards has been much faster, and when they are completed, it will already be a matter of the new year.

In the second month of the construction of the bay, Lieutenant General Isaiah Evan and his recruits came to Clay, and they came all the way down the river by boat, which were naturally the ships of the navy, and these boats were given to the spring by Raymond along with the recruits, as he pleased.

These boats did come, and even if Raymond didn't give him the boats, he wouldn't have been able to give them a familiarity with life at sea.

These people were picked up by Izumi and Electrolux themselves, and the three warships sailed from the river to the sea all the way to Xiangluo Bay, where they would temporarily familiarize themselves with life on the sea.

Originally, Izumi and Electrolux were going to arrange accommodation for them, but as Raymond said, Lieutenant General Isaia Evan was a very stubborn general, and he thought that the recruits living directly on the ship would improve the soldiers' adaptability to the sea, so he didn't plan to let these people off the ship, and everyone just lived on the ship together.

"What about training? There's not a big enough space on this ship, is it? ”

"There's no ship on board, isn't there? At this stage, we are mainly training in water combat. ”

Lieutenant General Isaiah Evan said so, and Izumi naturally didn't say anything more, but just ordered people to send them supplies regularly, and didn't care about anything else, and basically didn't go to see their training again after that.

After all, he is an adult, and it is better to avoid some things, otherwise even if the family will not have any ideas, those nobles may not necessarily think about it.

Every month a number of recruits were sent to Clay, and all of them were naturally sent to Lieutenant General Isaiah Evan for his own arrangement.

Lieutenant General Isaiah Evan was very satisfied with his move to avoid suspicion, he didn't have any opinions about the little prince, he just didn't like people who didn't know how to interfere with his training.

However, there are also disadvantages to Izumi, because in this way, he will not give them the magical beasts he caught in vain.

Originally, he had wanted to give those sea beast springs to Vice Admiral Isaiah Evan for free, but Electrolux told him that since he had made it clear that he would not interfere in the affairs of the navy, then he should not send the sea beasts, and if the navy wanted the sea beasts, he would take care of them himself, and they would be able to help at most a sentence.

This kind of thankless work, Electrolux doesn't want to do it at all.

Moreover, these sea beasts have snakes on them to press them and will not mess around, plus they can eat delicious food every day, these sea beasts are now accustomed to helping workers transport goods, and if they are missing on the construction site, it will slow down the progress of the project, so it is good to maintain the status quo.

"Catch whatever sea beasts they want, we still have a lot of projects to build in the future, and we really need the help of these big guys. Even if we don't need to build them anymore, we can use them as our own escorts, and neither my Knights nor yours have any members. ”

As a duke, Electrolux still has a quota for the Hundred Knights that has not been used up, and if Izumi has a fief in the future, he will need to recruit more soldiers and guards, and if he starts preparing now, he can save a lot of effort in the future.

Izumi was right to think about it, so he didn't think about giving the sea beast away, but just told his father, and sent someone to inform Lieutenant General Isaiah Evan by the way, and if they needed help, they could tell him.

Raymond naturally didn't have any problems there, although he knew that it was Electrolux's idea when he heard it, but he wouldn't interfere in the good things of Quan.

And Lieutenant General Isaiah Evan, who received the news, was a little depressed, before he came to Clay, he had heard Raymond hint that this side would provide him with magical beasts, especially after seeing those high-level magical beasts in Xiangluo Bay, he was even more excited, but the hint was just a hint, Raymond did not give a clear order, and Quan could not reason with him if he did not give him.

Fortunately, His Royal Highness also said that if you need help, you can find him. So Lieutenant General Isaiah Evan studied the sea beasts and asked Izumi to seconded a group of sea beasts to catch suitable sea beasts in other target bays that Izumi valued.

Izumi thought that this was a good idea, and that he could help him clean up the bays that had been included in the future plan but were not able to develop for the time being, so he not only lent them some sea beasts, but also lent Brand out.

With the ninth-order demonic beast joining, both sides were happy, and the only one who was unhappy was probably Brand, because he had to be separated from Shanaiduo for a while.

So Brand finally showed the bad temper that the fire demon should have along the way, and he didn't say anything with a cold face all the way, and the power on his body did not converge at all, not only scared the soldiers and sea beasts who were traveling with him shivered, but also scared away the sea beasts in the habitats of various sea beasts, until he found that this would only make the trip drag on for a longer and longer time, so he reined in his power and began to devote himself to the capture operation, just to go back as soon as possible.

In this way, except for some problems at the beginning that affected the capture, their operation was completed very smoothly, and this new navy not only exercised its courage in the operation (after being baptized by the momentum of the ninth-order demonic beasts, it was found that the other demonic beasts and sea beasts were not so terrifying), but also successfully caught enough sea beasts.

However, because they don't have enough Pork Balls to be fully equipped, only officers with military rank in this new navy can use Po Balls to capture high-level sea beasts, while ordinary soldiers are only equipped with low-level sea beasts, these sea beasts are basically the descendants and members of the race of sea beasts equipped by officers, they will obey any orders of high-level sea beasts, as long as the high-level sea beasts in the hands of the officers are tamed, these sea beasts will not harm the soldiers.

After that, it was up to the soldiers themselves to cultivate their feelings with the sea beasts they were assigned to and try to tame them as soon as possible.

But those things have nothing to do with Izumi.

When only a third of the seaport was built, the shipyard was built in a hurry because of its relatively small size.

After a rigorous inspection to determine that the shipyard was ready for use, the workers were relocated to the harbor of Xiangluo Bay to continue their work, while the original shipwrights were brought back to the newly built shipyard to start work.

Although it has always been said that a shipyard will be built, in fact, there is an ironworks here in addition to the shipyard - there are now several ironworks in Battlelands - this ironworks are mainly responsible for supplying the shipyard with various steel materials, and some of the blacksmiths in it are blacksmiths from the weapons manufacturing department that Izumi has worked with, and Izumi has asked for it from Raymond, and they will work in this ironworks for a while to help the ironworks become regular and train enough qualified employees, and then they will return to Tal'an.

The new type of sea ships were steamships mainly made of steel, and many of the materials needed were military supplies that could not be traded privately, so it was impossible for them to find merchants to buy ore and make iron, so they could only sign agreements with local nobles to open up trade.

A steady stream of ore came from all over the country to the ironworks, where suitable steel was made and sent to the shipyards for the shipwrights to build their ships.

Although the model of the steamship has been made before, it is not true after all, and the difficulty of transforming the model into a large ship of tens of meters is only known to them, and it is not possible to complete it quickly.

And after all, it was the first time to build a steel ship that could carry people to the sea, and it was a warship, so everyone had no confidence in their hearts, so they simply reported to Izumi and Electrolux, saying that they planned to get a fishing boat first, and then build a small passenger boat, and then slowly improve after becoming proficient, and finally build a warship.

Izumi considered it and approved the request, and it was a good idea to do it a little steadily, so as not to be able to sail the ship because of the unqualified technology.

So when the seaport of Xiangluo Bay is completed next year, the shipyard has also produced two commercial cargo ships that can carry 50 tons of cargo, although this cargo capacity can only be regarded as medium among the current merchant ships, but these two ships are made of steel, that is, they were hit by sea beasts while driving, as long as the object size is not the kind of Neptune whale and full force collision, there is no need to worry about the ship being destroyed and killed under the collision.

When the harbor officially began to be used, these two steel bodies also appeared in people's field of vision.
