The next morning, in the city lord's office, Allen and the others held a meeting as usual.

At present, there are fifteen captains, 1,500 regular soldiers, 1,000 reserve soldiers, 1,000 probationary soldiers, and 10 captains of reserve soldiers, as well as probationary soldiers.

The reserve army is a person who only needs to become a full-fledged soldier in one actual battle, and the trainee soldiers are just new recruits who need to be trained.

Allen wrote a training guide based on his previous experience of exercising his body, and after reading it, he took it as a book of heaven and ran out to deploy the training plan in a hurry.

Baird was presiding over the tax affairs, and the reduction of tax revenue by half made the faces of the civilians who needed to pay taxes in the whole Lepp Harbor and the surrounding areas have a smile on their faces, but Baird has a sad face.

He complained: "Your Highness, all the treasures we have obtained have been auctioned off, but there are only 400 million Baileys on the books now, and the iron ore is burning money every day without any profits, and," "That" There are a little more people recruited on the island, right? In the past few days, there are a total of sixteen villages in the surrounding area, and nearly 5,000 people in eight of them have been sent there by you.... Supplies and other things are constantly being sent over......"

Alan smiled: "Don't be like this, you also know the situation on that island, there are gold and silver mines, of course there are more people needed, and the professional equipment for mining will arrive soon, I talked to Casey last night, four sets of equipment, and the three sailboats I built belong to him." ”

"Also, don't cut off supplies, and the people on the island should also instill more loyalty to the country, so that their material life is better, after all, they are going to live there forever!"

Baird's eyelids jumped, and he spoke: "I know, I will send someone to do this, but the materials need more, especially wood, there is too little house over there." ”

"You and Barron discuss this." Alan put some rights, and he didn't have to worry about some small things.

Allen's words fell, and the three deputy city lords glanced at each other, all of them were a little happy in their eyes, and Barron smiled:

"There is still a lot of timber, and the trees in the five kilometers on the edge of the city are now only one-tenth of them, but there are very few volunteers, and I am ready to turn everyone into laborers, pay a certain amount of Bailey every month, and eat a meal at noon, so that the efficiency and speed will be greatly improved."

Alan nodded:

"This can be done, we can't let everyone down, those who have been insisting on doing labor can be promoted to be a team leader or something, and also, it is enough for the forest to be cut down only five kilometers, we only need five kilometers of land dedicated to growing crops, after all, our development focus is not on agricultural materials, minerals and shops are the mainstream of the future, food, and there are many other cities."

"Then why develop so much land?" Baird was puzzled: "If you pay taxes, there is already a lot of food..."

Alan smiled and buried himself in writing the plan, Barron smiled:

"First, to solve the problem of many people not having jobs, which can reduce violence in the city, and second, wood outside the city is a good material.

Thirdly, there is not much food, or even less, and our soldiers will expand to 10,000 in the future, and the main role of the place outside the city in the future will be to grow different crops to supply our soldiers! ”

"In this way, the safety of food is guaranteed, and it can also save a lot of military expenses..... Baird, although you kid is shrewd in settling accounts, you are still far from the people's livelihood! ”

"I see!" Baird smiled bitterly: "I'd better settle the account, you want to support it, Bai Dewen's side wants to spend, and the mine needs to spend, I need to calculate the amount allocated to you!" ”

At the end of the meeting, Alan received an unexpected notice, personally informed by his father, that Alan should follow him to the World Conference to be held in a month's time, and several of their siblings would go with them.

The World Conference is held every four years, and this time it was held a month later.

Alan thought carefully for a long time, arranging his plan for this month, this time it will take at least a month to come back, and if something happens during this period, he must ensure that there will be no big problems in Rip Harbor.

And the reason for the problem in Le Pu Harbor is basically not any other reason than pirates, so it is only necessary to deploy the defense of the coast and the port.

The Kingdom of Lyle does not have the ability to manufacture artillery and guns, or in other words, most countries do not have this ability, a large part of which is due to the restrictions of the World Government, and the guns are ostensibly forbidden to be traded.

However, in this regard, Alan found that this world is very strange, guns are very common in this world, and many people don't care even if they swagger around on the road with guns and are seen by the Navy, which is a very chaotic and strange place.

The problem is too profound for Alan to bother to explore, but he now has the ability to produce firearms, and he has sent a few people to the capital, and those few people will train a lot of apprentices, and the weapon production line of the Lyle Kingdom will soon be expanded.

(There are too many chaotic places in pirates, so don't take gunsmithing too seriously)

The most he explored was only to know that the people in the underground society sold muskets, and the source of these people's weapons was probably the same as the group of people he captured, and they were effective with a certain dark force.

Bailey goes out like water every day, but Alan doesn't care about it, the funds he currently has are enough to last until the first batch of ore from the big iron mine is trained, and when the time comes, these trained steel will be a lot of Bailey.

And on the night of this day, very suddenly, accompanied by a sharp alarm, the sound of the pirate attack spread throughout the port of Lepp.

Alan withdrew from meditation and picked up the phone worm while communicating with everyone above the captain.

"Organize their respective soldiers to go to the port in squad mode to block the attack, reserve soldiers are ready to support at any time, trainee soldiers patrol the city to keep everyone at home, and those who take advantage of the chaos and commit crimes can be dealt with directly according to the situation, act, don't let the pirates cross the port one step!"

"Yes!" Everyone responded at the same time, and the strict realm and arrangements of these days had worked, and although it was a temporary battle, everyone had already assembled without any panic.

Alan rushed towards the port, and Bai Dewen reported the situation to him: "The other party is the "Flying Eagle Big Ship Group", a total of twenty ships, a pirate group of more than 2,000 people, the captain "Flying Eagle" Bivis, and a bounty of 19 million Bailey!" ”

Allen's eyelids jumped, and he said: "Defend with all your might, don't feel sorry for the bullets, and keep pouring firepower on the other party!" ”

After speaking, he directly asked the capital for assistance, the battle of thousands of people, it is not a moment and a half to distinguish the winner and loser, even if he thinks he is strong, in such a battlefield, he does not dare to say that he can grasp the battle situation.
