Chapter 13 Prosperity

In the afternoon, the three deputy city lords came over together.

Bai Dewen took the lead and said: "Your Highness, most of the people of the Jared family have been interrogated, all the treasures have been collected to the treasure house, in addition, the place where they made weapons has also been found, a total of fifty craftsmen are now under my control, according to the interrogation situation, most of them are from the outer islands, many of them are coerced, and the Jared family in them was directly executed by me." ”

Alan smiled: "It's very good, but there have been a lot of outsiders on the island recently, so you have to pay more attention to peace and send a few more groups of people at night." ”

"Understood." Bodwin nodded.

Baird smiled: "The inventory of the treasure has also been completed, and now we have a total of 400 million Baileys in cash, and I have already returned the Bailey borrowed from His Royal Highness the King, in addition, I have estimated a total of about 300 million Baileys for gold, silver, jewelry, antiques and other things, and the warehouse is also full." ”

"Well, it's very good, don't borrow if we have our own money, otherwise my brothers will learn from me." Alan smiled and said, "What about the weapon?" ”

"There are 5,000 standard weapons, 5,000 muskets, 100,000 rounds of ammunition, and a number of gunpowder," said Bodwen, "and their weapons production line is very mature, and fifty people can make a hundred guns in one day. ”

"In this case, the people of the Jared family should be the big force selling arms in the underground society of the South China Sea!" Alan wondered: "With such a large number of weapons, why does their family only have 300 million Baileys?" ”

Barron, who had been silent, said: "Is it possible that there is still a force above the Jared family, and that force is the big one, and the Jared family is just a producer?" ”

"That's right, that's it!" Alan nodded and said: "Their family runs an iron mine, and they have a lot of profits, but if the entire family property is only 700 million Bailey, it must be unreasonable, if you include the expenses for making guns and weapons, it will be about the same, and most of their family's annual profits are secretly sent out by weapons!" ”

"If that's the case," said Bardwin, "it should be easy to check, just go to a few war-torn countries and collect some guns to compare!" ”

"No need!" Alan shook his head and said: "There is no point in checking it, if I were the other party, a weapon manufacturing factory was discovered, I would definitely not sit idly by, Bai Dewen, recently strengthened the defense, and also, to recruit more soldiers, our soldiers are too few!" ”

"Understood."

Barron said: "Your Highness, the island is about to start taxing, how much tax will we collect this time?" ”

"Last year, I collected 20%, which is too much, and this year's collection is good, and the tax does not need to be kept, just pay it directly to the treasury." Alan said casually.

"Understand, Your Highness, I have recruited more than 4,000 people, and the mining has already begun to dig, and the ore should be visible within three days. In addition, reclamation work is also underway outside the city, and it is expected that all the land will be cleared by the beginning of next spring, together with tree development. ”

"I don't have to wait for the beginning of spring, now I will focus on cutting down trees, I plan to build more big ships, set off in two years in the mode of a fleet, and visit all the islands in the South China Sea......

When the three of them arranged everything as if they were in a meeting, it was already late at night.

Alan got up and stretched, and said, "Let's do this today, just take your time according to today's deployment, after all, you can't get fat by eating in one breath, just take your time." ”

"Your Highness." Barron and Baird bowed together.

"How?" Alan's expression became subtle, and he thought of something.

"Neither of us is married, but lately I have had a good relationship with one of His Highness's maids...."

"Me too....."

"Name." Alan said.

"Tracey."

"Anthony."

Alan laughed: "I'm in charge, marry them to you!" ”

"Thank you, Your Highness!" The expressions of the two were extremely excited.

Alan left with a smile, with these three eyeliners, his three deputy city lords could be regarded as completely on their own chariots, except for Claudia, his twenty maids were all in this role.

They have been instilled with the idea of loyalty to the royal family since they were young, and they don't have to worry about their betrayal, so sending them out to be spies is the best, and this is also a good ending for them, after all, they only need to report information every once in a while, and then they can enjoy a completely easy life, which is countless times better than their previous life!

The most important thing is that he is not a stallion, it is enough for a woman to have a physical problem, and the most important thing is that he has not met a girl who really makes him really excited.

Claudia, too, can only be regarded as half.

The next day, a grand auction was held, and the Jared family's property, antiques, and some high-value items that Allen seemed useless were all auctioned off, bringing 100 million Baileys in cash to his books.

In addition, the vigorous recruitment and recruitment operations have begun, and many people from villages and towns outside of Lepp Harbor have come here to seek work, because there is now a great master guarding here!

Everything is developing in the best direction.

After the auction ended, the stage play began again, this time, in the first row of the theater, and Alan sat next to Casey five minutes after the opening five.

"I forgot to mention last time, I also need a large set of water purification equipment, the kind that is large enough for 100,000 people in Lap Harbor to drink and irrigate!"

Casey's face seemed to twitch, and he smiled at Alan that was more ugly than crying, "But.... Your Highness ....."

Alan smiled, "After the stage play, I'm going to have dinner with Sindori, and I don't mind if the table for two becomes a table for three!" ”

Casey's body trembled, gritted his teeth, and said, "Add another sailboat of that kind, and I'll bring the water purification equipment with the person in charge of maintenance!" Plus the furnace maintenance crew! ”

Alan smiled, "Well, let's have dinner together tonight, at Lepp's restaurant, Miss Sindoli and I are going to talk about the follow-up of her fiancΓ©'s murder of her." ”

"Understood!" Casey nodded excitedly, looking at Sindori on the stage, with infinite anticipation in his expression, he took out the phone bug and asked his subordinates to prepare the most expensive and best dress for him!

After the play, Sindoli gave a five-minute interview and then went backstage, and the theater was filmed by her privately, because she felt that she must not go out in the current situation, otherwise it would be dangerous.

Therefore, she decided to stay in the Kingdom of Lyle first!

She changed her clothes, got into the carriage she had prepared, and at half-past nine she arrived at Lepp's restaurant.

One of the most exclusive restaurants in Port Lepp.....
