"Oh! My God, really, is the blessing of my Lord, and I welcome them on behalf of all the villagers of Swamp Village! ”

After a while, Master Martin reacted, closed his wide open mouth, and then bent down and saluted, and said respectfully.

At this time, there was an inexplicable worry in his heart, or rather fear.

What could be about a poor, remote place like Marsh Village to attract the attention of the adults of London and the Shire?

Even if there is something, it will be a blessing or a curse for the people of Swamp Village.

With mixed feelings in his heart, Master Martin raised his head and looked at the two adults on the horse.

"I'm really bothering you!" Hebury, who was sitting on the horse, nodded, "We also have a heavy responsibility, I hope you can cooperate in the next time!" ”

"By the way, you?"

"My name is Martin, and I'm the head of this village!" Martin walked over and whispered.

"Okay, Mr. Martin, I hope that Swamp Village can give us some help in the next time!"

Hebury dismounted, with a smile on his face, and greeted softly, very politely.

Martin felt a lot more relieved at this moment, looking at the adult from London in front of him, young and polite, with a different and comfortable temperament.

"Please come with me, the village is really simple, if you are not satisfied, please forgive one or two!"

Martin was ahead, leading the way, turning back and respectfully.

As he walked, Hebury looked at the shabby houses around him and smiled reluctantly, "Of course, of course, I'm ready!" ”

The thatched huts around are crooked, either leaking or dilapidated, and it is really a sin to live in them.

"This is my house, you and this adult can borrow it, and the rest, then—"

Martin pointed to the neatest, cleanest houses in the village, the only brick houses in the village.

Listening to Martin's words, Hebury certainly knew the meaning of his words, waved his hand, and said:

"They'll all live outside, and the tents are all brought!"

Hebury's heart was: such a dilapidated house, they would rather live outside

As a result, more than 300 people settled down in the swamp village and spent the night quietly.

The next day, as soon as he got up, Hebury gathered everyone and invited the village chief, Mr. Martin, to go with him as a guide.

Everyone followed Martin's command and came to the Swamp.

The exact extent of this swamp is no longer available, and no one has counted it.

Straddling Cambridgeshire and Norfolk, the Everglades is arguably the largest in East England.

Historically, this swamp was filled in to provide a huge amount of usable arable land, and after initial adjustments, 380 square kilometers of arable land, or about 95,000 acres, were obtained.

Therefore, while the roads were being built throughout the country, the Central Ministry of Engineering and Construction, with the personal patronage of His Majesty the King, began to set out to come to this territory.

They have only one goal – to drain the swamp.

This action is also known as the Great Flattening Movement.

In Edward's view, as long as this swamp is filled, not only can he get a huge amount of land, but also a lot of wealth, making the royal family richer.

It will improve the food supply chain in England, increase arable land, alleviate the reduction of arable land due to land enclosure, and force the price of food throughout England to be reduced, so that a large number of people will be born.

Population, both now and in the twenty-first century, is fundamental to a country's strength.

Especially in this era, population is still the foundation that determines the strength of a country, after all, hot weapons have not yet been fully popularized, and after the army reaches a certain number, it is enough to crush anyone.

England, plus Scotland, Wales, and Ireland, has about five million people, while France has 10 million.

Colonization and the construction of a navy require a large population, otherwise it will be like the Dutch later, there are enough ships, but there are not enough sailors, and the road to becoming a great power will be blocked all at once.

From the original sea coachman, it has become a country that plays finance.

So, the next task, Edward, is to make the population of England explode.

In less than a moment, more than 300 people came to the swamp.

"What a wide swamp!" I always look at the endless swamp water in front of me, where countless waterfowl inhabit and all kinds of animals depend on this place for their survival.

Standing on high ground, small rivers flowing into the swamp in the distance made this massive monster even more terrifying.

Hebury sighed when he saw this.

"My lord, such a huge swamp is really difficult to drain, and the project is extremely huge, and it is difficult for us people to carry it out!"

Coleman frowned, looked around, and whispered to Herbery.

To be able to become the director of the Norfolk County Engineering and Construction Department, I still know a little about engineering construction, and such a huge swamp requires a huge amount of time and money.

"I know, but there's always a way!" Hebury frowned and sighed, "Aren't all experienced people who come here?" Someone will always find a way! ”

"Keep walking! Get to know this terrifying swamp! ”

Hebury was the deacon of the East England Department of the Engineering and Construction Department, responsible for the East England region, and he was a professional and of course knew that the difficulties were great.

But this was ordered by His Majesty the King himself, and he had to do it.

And this is also a good opportunity for him to be promoted, if he completes this task, he will get the affection of His Majesty the King, and his promotion is just around the corner.

"My lord, please be careful, this swamp is inaccessible, poisonous spiders and crocodiles, often appear, full of dangers!"

As soon as Martin heard that this big swamp was drained, his heart moved, and when he heard that this group of people was about to go to the swamp to have a look, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly reminded him.

"Oh? In that case, let's just watch from the side, don't go deeper, be careful! ”

Hearing this, Hebury immediately commanded Coleman to the side.

"Yes, sir!" Coleman hurriedly agreed.

Hebury was one of his nominal immediate superiors, and he had a great say in the evaluation of his performance, and he could not afford to be careless.

The three hundred or so people who followed him immediately became cautious and began their own exploration projects in groups.

The morning had passed, and everyone had returned safe and sound, and began to discuss their plans.

"I think we should build an artificial river to drain the water out of the swamp!"

"We should block all the rivers upstream so that the swamp will dry up quickly!"

"No, no, no, it should still be filled with soil, there are mountains near here, and there should be no shortage of soil!"
