There was a sudden commotion in the harbor, and a pirate ship had just entered the harbor, and several pirates climbed up along the cable before the ship could come to a stop, causing a burst of scolding.

The old man frowned slightly, and the look on his face seemed to be dissatisfied.

The strong man obviously didn't notice the old man's expression, and he said in a deep voice: "Yes, although this lord is not yet eighteen years old, he is quite ambitious and has accepted hundreds of thousands of immigrants at once, even those great lords do not have the courage to do so. There's one thing that's confusing, though. ”

He paused slightly, as if to phrase it, "As far as I know, the finances of the Cordillera Territory have always been bad, how did this lord raise such a deep financial resource to support the immigrants?" ”

The old man turned around, a disapproving look on his face, "There are three reasons for the financial difficulties of the Cordillera Collar.

First, the corpses of the territorial officials are vegetarian and greedy, especially Solo. Bell and Linnan. Camille and the two are simply scraping the ground. With these greedy fellows, it is strange that the Cordillera can become rich.

Second, bandits are rampant. Although those nobles keep saying that alien races are the greatest evil, who doesn't know the ferocity of the bandits on the Cordillera Plateau? In particular, the bandits that colluded with the officials simply treated the cordillera as their own farmland, harvesting them from time to time.

Thirdly, the proportion of aliens in the Cordillera is higher than that of the Terrans, and there is no one for development, and there is no guarantee of taxation.

That little lord is not simple, she first exterminated the bandits. Obtain considerable wealth, with money, it is naturally easy to transform the army, and then to Lin Nan. Camille and Solo. Bell did it, and the wealth of these two people seemed to have been accumulated for her. In the end, a large number of people were introduced, and it can be said that the Cordillera Collar has initially met the conditions for development. ”

"Even if there is money, how can hundreds of thousands of people's clothing, food, housing and transportation be so easy to solve?" The strong man didn't seem to be very angry.

"So this little lord can't be ignored."

The old man narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly ordered: "Julian, you send a group of people to find a way to blend in with the immigrants, on the one hand, to try to create chaos. On the other hand, set up a few sitting probes. In case we do it in the future. ”

"Oh, I'll do it right away." The strong man was stunned for a moment, but then nodded yes.

However, he did not leave. Instead, he hesitated and said, "My lord." We can't let her go that way. Now Yale is building a city and a port, and the security side has strengthened its forces, and this continues. It will cause difficulties for our replenishment. ”

"Humph! If she is knowledgeable, then we will not interfere with the water of the well, but if she dares to go out of line, then I will call her cordillera unstable! The old man had a grim expression on his face.

"But now they are reorganizing the city defense force, and they are recruiting a large number of police." The strong man was still a little uneasy.

"Stupid! Those police are just law and order, what threat can they pose to us? Even if the city defense army is expanded, can it still hit the sea? The old man scolded.

The pirate group also needs to be replenished, but there will definitely not be only one place, as long as the Cordillera Territory does not have a strong enough navy, it cannot pose a threat to the Iron Skull Thieves, so the old man is not worried.

He glanced at the strong man coldly: "That lord is ambitious, but after all, she is only a young man, and many things cannot be achieved with enthusiasm, I believe she should understand this truth." And we're going to focus on the Pink Skulls, they've been so active lately that they've been calling themselves the protectors of the seas, and I'm going to let them know who's in charge of the seas. ”

He waved his hand to signal the conversation to end.

The strong man hurriedly bowed and left the room silently.

The old man turned around and looked at the gradually calming harbor, with a contemplative look in his eyes, and muttered to himself, "Hey, little lord, I want to see what you want to do!" ”

In winter, as if a girl who did not make an appointment, Shanshan came to the Cordillera Plateau, and this winter was more busy and fulfilling than Hathaway imagined. Although there is Petro. Hughes, Connor. Pierren and the newcomer Charle. Custer, Puper. Dirouet and Steyn. With Cassan's help, but after the hundreds of thousands of people moved into the Cordillera, it was not just a place to live, but also the aftermath of the aftermath made this newly formed lord's institution run at high speed, although she really wanted to calm down and build a fifth-level spell model, but she couldn't spare time at all.

Fortunately, Hathaway was well prepared for all kinds of difficulties and troubles that might arise, and all kinds of material resources were continuously transported into the Cordillera territory, and then transported to the collective farms where the immigrants lived.

Hathaway's work is easy and easy, because the structure of the Lord's Mansion is basically perfect, and what is needed is constant repetition and efficiency, and she, the lord, does not need to do everything herself. However, her job is troublesome because she has to constantly make rounds of the farms...... On the one hand, it is necessary to inspect the resettlement situation, that is, to solve the problem; On the other hand, of course, it is supervision and proximity to the people.

Hathaway's cousin Connor. Pieron, who had previously run the collective farm, now had Hathaway in charge of the entire migrant farm, while Petro. As the Interior Officer, Hughes had to consider the overall affairs of the territory...... For example, the demographics of each farm, the selection and appointment of grassroots officials, and so on.

Although he was very capable, these tedious tasks were quite onerous for a young man, but fortunately he had the help of the old people of the lord's mansion. Plus the Shalai that just passed. The help of Custer and others also coped with it well.

As the saying goes, the outside must first be inside, and the current cordillera collar is like a piece of a puzzle that has just been put together, if it is not glued in time, it may be the slightest turmoil, and it may evolve into a landslide and a crack, so Hathaway has this trip.

However, her inspection plan was not completed after all, because a message was sent by Cecia. Hughes sent it to her - two merchant ships laden with grain were plundered by the Iron Skull pirates, and none of the crew survived, all of them were killed.

Although it is said that merchant ships collect money to do things, and pay for their own risks. But after all, they were there to help the Cordillera lead in the purchase of food, and Hathaway couldn't sit idly by.

"Go to Yale. Bilin, summon your father, it's time to pack up the Iron Skull. Hathaway looked as usual, but in Bellen . Hegel sounded like the calm before the storm.

If the Black Skull Pirates were honest and didn't come to the Principalella Territory's interests. Hathaway really didn't mind a temporary peace with her, after all, she still had to appease the newcomers in the territory.

However, the Black Skull's actions had apparently ruined her plans, and if the Iron Skull was not destroyed, it would not only bring a ruin blow to the fledgling maritime trade, but would also make the lords and merchants lose their sense of security, which would be fatal to the development of the Cordillera Territory.

The cold wind that only comes from the ocean reminds people of the change of seasons.

Hathaway walked on the pier, but she didn't feel how cold...... Today she was wearing a casual suit, and she was walking behind her. Hegel and others also put on a little makeup so as not to leak the news. In the night of the previous two days, the special forces had gone out to sea on a vulture to hide on an island temporarily. Hegel's Pirate Regiment rendezvous.

However, at this time, Hathaway's eyes were on the new city in front of her.

The newly built Yale City is a very large city, although from a strategic point of view, it is to increase the area of defense, but from a development point of view, if the current rate of development of the Cordillera Territory, it will become a very prosperous city in less than a year, and the castles on both sides of the main city and the docks are horns, if war breaks out, it will be a terrible triangle of death, as long as there is enough food and weapons, this will be a nightmare for invaders.

The purple sun was setting in the distance, but the sky was still shrouded in the dimness of the setting sun, and the east had gradually dimmed, and a faint blue crescent moon could be seen emitting a hazy light.

A cargo hold was being unloaded, and suddenly a bell rang, and the faces of the porters appeared anxious, and their movements seemed more busy.

"Quick, quick, everybody speed up, don't be stunned there, you guys have to unload all the goods today. These goods are very valuable, and if anything is missing, I will settle accounts with you. ”

"Everyone hurry up, you want to rest early, so do I, hurry, there is still half an hour."

"Push those things to the warehouse, damn it, speed it up."

"Lazy worms, speed up for me, only the last one, hurry up, otherwise, I'll let you work overtime in the dark, you should have tasted that."

“……”

With that bell, all kinds of urgings, filled the entire dock.

And the porters, who had seemed unhurried, also became rude and anxious with the urging sound at this moment...... Soon, however, the surrounding noises gradually became quieter, and the porters, who had quickened their pace to complete their work, began to dissipate.

Most of these workers rush to their homes when they finish their work, while others go to the tavern for a drink to relieve the day's fatigue...... Most of these workers are immigrants, and if it weren't for the starvation on their faces, who would have known that they were still living like corpses in the refugee camps not so long ago?

The bell rang again, and the dock immediately became calm, and at this moment the sky had become even darker, the stars in the night sky were constantly flickering, and the blue moon seemed deeper and deeper, and the lights in the city were also lit, as if the stars had fallen into the world.
