Even though the snow had arrived, the sea in Flower Town was not iced, and the Flower returned to the docks unhindered.

This time, he brought back a boatload of volcanic glass ore, as well as some fragments of dragon bones.

"The architectural plan of the port town has been roughly planned with reference to the design drawings of adults. In the castle's study, Marcus reported to Liszt, "The bone fragments in the burial ground have been cleared, and most of the volcanic glass ore between the rock pillars has been mined, and if it continues to be mined, it will destroy the pasture." ”

"The grassland cannot be destroyed for the time being, the breeding of the Black Blood BMW is very important, and with so much volcanic glass, it is enough to use, this is a strategic resource, and we have to think about the future of Black Horse Island. ”

"So what's next for Dark Horse Island?"

Liszt thought for a while: "To build a residential area in the port town, I will increase the number of immigrants, and strive to make the port town take shape as soon as possible to facilitate the development of Dark Horse Island." ”

Dark Horse Island is his future inheritance, and Flower Town is a temporary refuge.

First of all, he planned to build a small town on Black Horse Island, Port Town, as a frontier for the development of Black Horse Island. The Earl had developed Coral Island and accumulated resources for generations, but he started from scratch and could only take it one step at a time.

Dark Horse Island needs to be kept secret, so for the time being, it can only be entrusted to Thomas to develop it on its behalf.

Finished chatting about Port Town.

Marcus voiced his doubts: "My lord, have you studied the magic in the volcanic glass?" He has been in charge of mining and does not know the progress in this area.

Liszt had no intention of concealing it: "Mr. Marcus, I have discovered the effect of magic and can be used as a constant source of heat. ”

He pulled out his blueprint and handed it to Marcus.

"This is the bathhouse plan I designed, there are a lot of projects in the winter of Flower Town, and the civilians work and sweat every day, and they need the bathhouse to ward off the cold and reduce the danger caused by the wind cold. Children who are training in fighting spirit also need the help of the bathhouse, and the fire dragon magic power burns the bathhouse, which is very suitable. ”

Marcus glanced at the design a few times, then handed back the thick paper: "Your Excellency, the design is exquisite!"

In fact, he did not understand Liszt's abstract architectural proportions.

Putting away the blueprints, Liszt asked Thomas to summon Galtai for a small meeting. The meeting was to select a new group of strong serfs to be assigned to work on the island of Black Horse.

"In this way, the number of serfs in Flower Town is not enough. Galtai complained.

"It's not enough to buy more, now is a good time to buy serfs. Liszt had already dealt with the slave trade as a daily routine, "As for the gold coins in the castle's reserves, I'll figure it out." ”

He planned to sell a batch of Mithril Ore - a precious strategic material that he was reluctant to sell. However, it is still far from the time when Flower Town can forge armor, and even if he forms a knight squad, it will only be equipped with standard armor produced by Tulip Castle, not Mithril armor.

There is a smoke mission, and there is still more wealth to be harvested in the future, and the current development is more important.

Galtai had no problem with buying and selling serfs, and he said lightly: "Yes, the price of serfs will be very cheap now, and besides, maybe a few more Paris." ”

"Paris?" Marcus wondered.

"A female mercenary, her sister is a sold serf, she followed, and now she is an adult's escort, very powerful, elite earth knight level. ”

Marcus cautiously asked, "Can it be trusted?"

Liszt knocked on the table and replied: "Her basic situation should not be fake, but trust is not yet reached, and you have to guard against her for many secret things." ”

"Understood. Marcus nodded, and said, "But my lord, I recommend that adults recruit followers, and try to recruit them from Coral Island, the Tulip Family has been cultivating Coral Island for twenty years, and it is a force that can be trusted here." ”

Liszt, of course, understood.

However, Paris was a reward from the Smoke Quest, and it was related to dragons, so he couldn't say it clearly, so he diverted the topic: "Speaking of recruiting followers, Galtai's advisor, are there many people who want to defect to Flower Town recently?" As the lord's advisor, he is Liszt's representative.

Galtai replied: "There are many nobles and quasi-nobles who have exchanged letters with me, but there are not many who have made up their minds to defect. You know, the enterprising knights have all followed the Earl into battle, and the rest have either lost their aggressiveness or lack strength. ”

"Try to choose, especially young earth knights, and quasi-nobles who are familiar with the business of officials. ”

Young Earth Knights can be cultivated to prepare for the upcoming Knight Squad. Quasi-nobles who are familiar with the business can first inspect in Flower Town, and then send them to Black Horse Island in the future.

"As you wish. By the way, do you remember Zambrotta?"

"What's wrong with Lytton's governess stripped of his title?"

He wrote to him, hoping to come to Flower Town in the next few days to relax, he couldn't bear it anymore, hoping to find a job in Flower Town. ”

"You receive him first, and when I look back, I will consider his knowledge, and I will be satisfied, and naturally I will not be stingy with a job, and if there is a false appearance, I will not ignore the majesty of my father for him. ”

......

At a dinner party at the restaurant on the first floor, Marcus meets Paris.

There was no friction, the two just nodded, and they knew each other. Since then, Paris has concentrated on food, and she has been completely attracted by the scrambled eggs, egg soup, varied flavors of bread, and fragrant milk in the castle, and she longs to eat and drink in the castle three times a day.

My sister lives in Mrs. Harriet's house, and she lives alone and is too lazy to cook.

Of course, to eat in the castle, she is not qualified to enter the dining room on the second floor, and she eats at the same table on the first floor with the knights of Rondo, Lasse, and Liszt.

On the second floor, only nobles and governesses can be seated.

In order to win over his subordinates, Liszt often held banquets in the restaurant on the first floor, so that all his subordinates could gather at one table to eat.

Of course, he actually entertained Carl, Rohm and others on the second floor, and his understanding of the nobility was not very deep at that time. This is no longer the case, and most of the time the strict hierarchical system can reflect the authority of the lord and the noble nature of the nobility.

In this way, it is often a bent over gesture to win people's hearts more.

After eating in a pot for a long time, maybe some people can't carry it clearly, and they really think that being close to the people is good for the brothers, and they have transgressed their status and status between each other.

Ass, decide the head.

Liszt is an aristocrat, and of course his ass sits on a chair on the second floor, and when he comes downstairs to eat, he just attracts people's hearts.

"The security of the territory must be strictly managed, Carl, the patrol team must be expanded, the current quota of thirty people is too small, and there is only one patrol member for more than a hundred people on average. Efforts were made to expand the recruitment to 90 people, and 40 people were assigned one patrol member, which was barely up to the target. ”

He said solemnly: "I don't require you to make Flower Town stay closed at night, but all forms of crime except quarrels must be eliminated." ”
