Chapter 64: The Field of Harvest (Part II)
In spring, when a warm breeze blows overnight, new shoots emerge in the broad-leaved forest.
Sylvanas was gone, but Quettalin was only three days away from the Red Sun White Tower. Occasionally, she came to stay for a day under the guise of an inspection.
"It feels like people are rusting" to knock out the troll outskirts for months, and Shane often complains about it.
"If you need to fight in person, it's not good for the elves."
The female elf also realizes that her position rarely involves a personal battle: "It's only for you to relieve your boredom." You know, I suddenly understand the mood of those who sit in the office, no matter how big or small it is, it will always keep you busy. ”
Sylvanas complains, but Sean sees that she is enjoying it, taking on more responsibilities and expectations, and taking pleasure in fulfilling her self-worth.
The Royal Mage Guild finally approved him to read the knowledge of levitation, which was too different from what he expected, and the elves' levitation technology was only used in small buildings, and there was no mention of large-scale use. It is imperative to go to Dalaran.
In this beautiful spring, Shane's mentor vividly demonstrated to him that the more he does not express his position, the more he is valued.
"The premise is that you yourself must be tough enough" When the mentor conveyed the task to Shane, there was a sense of excitement: "The Windranger Sentry Post, to become the Dawn Ninja Sentry Post, a great victory!" I couldn't wait to see my old friend's face. Then say: The Dawnblade Sentinel welcomes you to return at any time. Ahem, okay, don't talk about that. The royal party and we will deepen the cooperation, and a lady will come to you on your side, and you will treat her like a gentleman. ”
"Okay, mentor" Shane agreed, but he was thinking, the spring breeze has brought life and trouble.
In a few days, Lady Trouble and Shane will be walking along the field road. She's the last person Shane wants to see, but walking with her is a political task that must be accomplished.
"It's good, it looks like everything is in order."
"Yes, a lot of resources were used, roads were paved, fields were divided. A construction team was hired from Silvermoon City to build a farmhouse, and no matter what, they had to plant seedlings before the season. "Sean is very happy to see the thriving scenery, everything is growing, positive, and he has a great sense of accomplishment.
Duchess Marand was initially surprised by the Dawn Blade's rejection of the marriage, but the two parties were only in the tentative stage, and neither had anything to lose.
Later, their own camp hinted that Shane-Dawn Shinobi was a good talent, meaning that she should take the initiative. She was first angry, then curious, and then came to have a look in the name of investing in land.
"I see a lot of glass piled up outside the sentry post, is it to make a greenhouse?"
"Madam, you're right, growing food on a large scale can't bring the highest returns, and the cultivation industry, like the arcane, should be divided into levels, aiming at different needs, to obtain the maximum benefits." Shane said, showing her what the land was used for.
The land to the east of the outpost was fertile, and after reclamation, the clan invested in three vineyards, and Shane paid for the establishment of three more at his own expense. Six in total, each covering ten acres of vineyards. In a few days, the vines are planted, the harvest begins in the second year, and the harvest can be harvested in the third year.
Far from running out of land for development, Shane spent the winter recruiting yeoman farmers to the bottom of the campaign. There are only a few who are willing to give up the life of Quel'Sellas and come to adventure. He wanted to order ten simple puppets for farming, and spent a lot of money to hire an engineering team to build infrastructure, and only hired a few elves to grow food.
But opening a large farm is not enough to have machines and agricultural workers, but also requires professional knowledge.
Plant expert Frevin, whom Shane paid a fortune to guide agriculture. In order to keep him as a consultant, Shane paid 3,000 gold coins a year and built his own greenhouse to get him.
When he came, he repeatedly emphasized: "I am not a druid, Chief Shane should not make a mistake about my profession, I am not a druid, I am a botanist." Sean nodded and said there would be no mistake, and he happily stayed in office.
"Plant expert Frevin, I've heard his name, and he has some fame in Silver City, but he's not an arcane spellcaster, nor is he a holy light caster, so his position is a little awkward. In you, he may be able to find his own value, and it will be of great help to himself. ”
Marand and Shane walked side by side, smiling softly, unhurriedly, and their fair faces had a sense of holiness peculiar to a caster of holy light, which was indeed beautiful.
"I think of him, his knowledge is much more useful than others think. I can't see it now, it's because he didn't find the right path, and he will be very famous in a few years. Shane said.
A total of 5,000 acres of land will be developed this year. Intuitively, it is about 4 kilometers long and 5 kilometers wide. However, there is a forest separating it, so it is divided into three large farms.
"Since he has him to help you, I can also invest with confidence, Chief Shane, do you have any good projects to introduce?"
"Well..."Before the harvest season of the sea trade, the land reclamation was almost used up to the last of Shane's funds, and he had an investment that was short of funds and manpower, "I plan to set up a sentry post a little further east to keep an eye on Zuaman." Just open a lumber yard, and some of the wood can be sold for a lot of money in humans. ”
Unlike their relatives, the Night Elves, the High Elves are avid nature protectors, often exploiting forest resources to a limited extent to meet their needs.
"Sounds great, I'll let my accountant talk about how much money it costs."
When it comes to business, it is enough to have an intention, and the specific amount of money does not need to be discussed, and all the people below are left to do, which is a model of aristocracy.
"Sure enough, there are not enough talents?" Shane thought that he needed a steward for his career.
It didn't take much time for them to see the three farms, and they walked to the farthest farm by noon. There, the engineering team was directing the puppets to dig irrigation canals, because they relied on the river, eliminating the need to build trunk canals, and the project was very fast. After standing for a while, Shane dug a branch canal hundreds of meters long, half a meter wide, and one meter deep.
The chief engineer who commanded the construction was Tallonikus, who had a good cooperation with Shane, and the builder of the main building of the Red Sun White Tower. When Shane invited him to work, he thought he wouldn't necessarily take the job, but he readily agreed, and the work began quickly.
He said: Not to make money, but for Your Excellency, but also for large orders. Your land continues to grow, and a project alone is a big business.
Shane liked that he didn't hide his intentions, at least without having to bother guessing what he was thinking.
When she returned to the sentry post with Marland, it was just afternoon, and Shane didn't dare to invite her to dinner. With Sylvanas's prestige, she didn't know how many people were helping her keep an eye on her, so she was afraid that she would be accused of being black, and the consequences would be very troublesome.
So the duchess was allowed to stay in the hotel.
"You've got a good group of people." The next day, before leaving, Marand commented to Shane: "My friends may be wrong, but I can't be wrong. ”
The best way to recruit talents is a sense of belonging, how to create a sense of belonging? That is to provide them with a stage to realize their self-worth. 'Is it early?' Shane thought.
"Thank you for spending the day with me, goodbye, Chief Shane." Duchess Marand departed in a carriage drawn by her six chocobos.
The first meeting point is good, and both sides have development intentions before contacting. Marand felt that his teammates had all been deceived by the treacherous treachery of the Dawnblade, and that he had offered many benefits in vain, only to be rewarded with ambiguous promises. But even so, it didn't prevent her from making friends with young Junjie.
Those people simply don't know the difference between wooing the heirs of the Dawnblade and wooing Shane-Dawnblade.
"Why should I remind them that it's good to develop naturally," she thought, pouring herself half a glass of red wine and savoring it slowly.
