Chapter 130: Construction

For a long time to come, Diego was busy. As the saying goes, the ideal is plump, the reality is skinny, and many things are not as smooth as he imagined. The hatred of the residents of Mooncreek was obviously something that could not be eliminated for a while, if it wasn't for Grian? Stallman did a lot of comfort and persuasion, not to mention acceptance, and drawing a sword without meeting each other was already regarded as a blessing of the Holy Light. As a last resort, Diego ordered the members of the Brotherhood not to enter Mooncreek, perhaps time to slowly dispel this hatred and hostility.

At the same time, the former members of the Brotherhood also tried not to use violent means to communicate with their neighbors, because as the two largest towns in Yuexi Territory, it is inevitable that the two will complement each other for a long time in the future.

It took Diego more than a month to reorganize the Defia Brotherhood. Although Van Cleef was appointed as the mayor of the town, it was impossible for Diego to leave it alone, compile household registration for them, arrange housing, and solve the ...... food and clothing, to be honest, Diego really didn't understand the management of this part, if it wasn't for Grian? Stallman and Harry? With the help of Bergard, just the eating, drinking, and Lazar of these thousands of people was enough to make Diego collapse.

Because due to the storage of gold mines, Yuexi Town will definitely be directly managed in the future. Therefore, in Diego's plan, for a long time in the future, the development focus of his territory will definitely be tilted towards the Port of Long Beach. As for the organizational structure of the territory, as the most elite military force in the territory, the escort led by Bergard directly belongs to the lord and will not obey the orders of anyone else, and Grian? Stallman was in charge of policing in the territory, and Edwin was in charge of the administration of Long Beach. Van Cleef, Diego will never allow him to contact the military, this is the bottom line, and it must be strictly controlled. Military, judicial, and administrative, although not so completely copied, is a small system of separation of powers with the will of the lord as the core. Isn't it?

After more than a month of busy work, Diego finally waited for the caravan to arrive again. They arrived with the messenger of the Duke of Berval and the large group of prisoners of the Brotherhood of Defia, whom he was escorting.

To Diego's surprise. The messenger sent by the Duke of Berval was his old acquaintance, the mayor of Solomon. But now, these two words must be preceded by "former", because he is now appointed as the mayor of Yuexi Town.

Diego did not hold back on this appointment in any way, because Reginald? Wendell's relationship. He was no stranger to Mayor Solomon, and knew that the old man's governing talents, although not so outstanding, were impeccable in his devotion to duty.

After some pleasantries, in the lord's mansion, Solomon handed over Bolvar's letterhead to Diego.

"Does the Duke have any special explanations?" Diego took the letter, but instead of opening it directly, he asked Mayor Solomon first.

"The Lord Regent is very pleased with what you have done, and he says that humanity can no longer afford more bloodshed. The ruthless cannibalism should not be within the kingdom, and it would be nice to be able to settle the Brotherhood of Defia peacefully. Solomon said with a smile.

Diego felt his heart suddenly return to his stomach. He opened the envelope and read it.

Compared with the fierce reaction of the people of Yuexi Town, the reaction of Stormwind City was much more flat. Obviously, Diego's frank attitude won the Duke of Boval's favor even more, and he encouraged the young man in his letter, and according to Diego's request, he sent the members of the Brotherhood of Defia who were imprisoned in Stormwind prison without compromise.

“…… And, as you could hope for. I've sent you a seasoned consul - I think you'd be glad to meet Mayor Solomon's old friend, who will be the mayor of Mooncreek and take care of your day-to-day affairs.

Your faithful, Berval? Vortagan. ”

The end of the letter. Bowall writes. It can be seen that His Excellency the Regent was very pleased with his efforts, at least in the letter.

He carefully folded the letter and placed it on the bookshelf next to it. He turned his head and saw Solomon looking at him respectfully, looking speechless.

"Do you have anything to say, my mayor?" Diego said with some curiosity.

"Although it is not a gentleman's requirement to say so. But I advise you to be vigilant against the Brotherhood of Defia, for I can feel at all times that the prisoners of the Brotherhood of Defia still maintain their fierce habits when I come into contact with them. Solomon said worriedly, "If you want me to say, you need to open one eye when you sleep." ”

"I will, thank you for your advice." Diego said gratefully, knowing that Solomon had said this in good faith, for the sake of Marshal Wendell.

"That's what I'm supposed to do, and I'm more than happy to help you." Solomon said with a smile.

……

I have to say that Solomon came at a good time, at least so that Diego could take a break from the busy chores of Yuexi Town and concentrate on the construction of the Port of Long Beach.

At this time, more than a month has passed since the dissolution of the Defia Brotherhood. The caravan had brought with them more than enough equipment and tools—and they even brought a few blacksmiths willing to settle in Moonstream!

Countless pieces of stone and timber were mined from nearby Dagger Ridge and then turned into materials for the construction of Long Beach Town through the hard work of stonemasons. As the days passed, a small harbor gradually appeared on the shores of the Endless Sea. The harbor is built on a high sloping shore, some distance from the sea, and several long stacks extend from the harbor to the deep water. The embankments were all reinforced with huge rock masonry, not afraid of the sea's erosion - something Diego had specifically requested, because he knew all too well how the tsunami caused by the cataclysm a few years later would be self-defeating.

Near the waterway is a newly built dockyard where several small fishing boats that have just been launched are out to sea, and seabirds such as skuas, boobies and albatross are hovering and chirping above the fishing boats.

Standing by the sea, looking at the brand-new houses, the busy streets, the neat docks, and the long trestle bridge, a sense of satisfaction came from the bottom of Diego's heart. It's a small city, but Diego believes he'll make it thriving.

He looked at the foot of the hill in the distance, which was the highest point in the entire harbor. Diego had already made up his mind to build a small castle there. Anyway, he has money, and it's not bad to spend more. But the thought of living in a castle with dozens of rooms in the future made Diego can't help but crack his mouth and laugh - something that was completely unimaginable when he lived in a unit of tens of square meters in his previous life.

But just then, Diego saw Van Cleef, the mayor of Long Beach, hurrying towards him.

He walked fast, and a few minutes later, Van Cleef was in front of Diego.

"My lord, something is wrong." He said in a panic. (To be continued.) )
