Of course, the most important point that the East Coast is not as good as the West Coast is that the West Coast is dotted with a large number of silver mines, which attract investment from capitalists and aristocrats, plus countless speculators or bankrupts from the open sea to make a living, which further promotes the prosperity of the West Coast. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

If the East Coast can also have the silver veins of the West Coast, then this barren coast will instantly appear countless speculators, whether it is miners who come to find a living, merchants who come to find silver coins, or even people of all religions and religions will flood this coast, bringing unexpected prosperity and consumption, and promoting this barren land to become a region of wealth.

However, there are indeed silver veins on the east coast, but Levi does not plan to announce it, even if the passage to the silver pit is blocked, and the excuse has already been found, that is, to prevent anyone from colluding with the Ketuf River thieves.

This excuse really worked perfectly, because beyond the hilly terrain was the Everglade, and even children in the North Trumming Sea knew that in the swamp full of mud and crocodiles, this large silver pan island was also a paradise for outlaws, fraudsters, and fugitive slaves.

What's more, for that silver pit, the current Levi is also salivating, this pit that continuously mines silver ore from energy, but the cornucopia of silver coins alive, how can Levi, who is in dire need of financial resources, give up?

He had even issued a gag order, even those craftsmen had already used all kinds of coercion and inducement to make them forbidden to tell the news for three years, although according to Levi's estimate, the news that there would be a silver mine here on the east coast in less than half a year could spread throughout the entire Great Silver Pan Island, but the Cape Town, which had developed at that time, would not be afraid of those nobles.

But the current predicament of Cape Town is still in a feeling of hunger despite eating and drinking.

The profits brought by the rapid development have not been absorbed by Levi, and the large number of citizens has not been converted into real labor, although the entire Cape Town has been arranged in an orderly manner, but the consumption in the development process has also made Levi's worried head swell.

A lot of food is consumed every day, especially since this group of citizens are young and middle-aged, and they have a lot of food, plus tiring construction work, it is almost a person who can eat more than two people, almost every time the meal is opened, the food served is snatched up in less than ten minutes, and an extra part must be continued to fill everyone's stomach.

This is a group of big stomachs, not to mention that even if the thousands of water thief captives are coped, the daily consumption is equally amazing, at least about thirty barrels of black bread are needed, which is still the share of half the amount of food that cannot be eaten!

Half a month had passed, and the main fleet of the Ketuv River thieves had been wiped out in the Yuqiao River, and it had not even attracted too many people's attention, as if nothing had happened, only the silent undercurrent occasionally churned a few times.

During this period of time, the development of Haijiao Town has gradually passed the run-in period, and the entire primary city fortification has become a huge construction site, and the wood that has been poorly trimmed by the citizens has been quickly dried, and the wooden planks of building materials have gradually become the raw materials of the construction site with the efforts of many people.

A large number of wooden houses have been built, belonging to the kind of wooden houses in the mountains of Spain, with the style of the European Middle Ages, although they look extremely simple, compared to the houses inhabited by the commoners in the outer cities of Gray Mist, in fact, it is not far behind, and barely has a bit of a town.

After all, there were more than 1,500 citizens, plus 5 or 600 sailors and soldiers, and it was more difficult to stay at night, so they could only build fifty or sixty simple wooden houses to serve as temporary shelters.

This is the main construction task at the moment, and even the rest of the citizens are not idle, from Cape Town to the inland hills, along the Yuqiao River and improvised roads, many hunting camps and lumberyards have been built, providing food and building materials for Cape Town every day.

However, the silver pit still did not send people to mine, because after Li Wei discussed with the generals, he was still afraid that those water thieves would come to plunder from time to time, if the support was not timely, the lives of the citizens of the silver pit would be in danger, in order to ensure safety, he did not consider digging the silver mine for the time being, but only waited for the absolute guard force to consider it later.

But thanks to the Yuqiao River, the construction of lumber yards has also harvested a large number of high-quality logs in the forests that have not been mined in the past ten years, and even when Levi's Garry warship carried these timbers to the Gray Mist City market, it directly entered the shipyard in the inner harbor through the relationship of old Moulton, and as many as you wanted, it was settled on the spot with silver coins.

This undoubtedly alleviated Levi's current lack of money, as six light Garryes and two heavy Garryts were all used to carry logs, and they would travel to Grey Mist every three days to transport the straight, sturdy logs.

Then, when he returned, he bought a large amount of basic wheat bran bread and brown bread, plus a small amount of salt and substitute tools, although he still did not make ends meet, but he also had a small amount of money, at least ten barrels of black bread every Friday had already come out, and it was no problem to feed the slaves.

Now the thousands of slaves have been divided into more than 100 squads, and each of the ten men is tied with ropes to their feet and necks, fixed to various lumberyards and construction sites, and is responsible for carrying all kinds of sundries.

However, there are also hundreds of slaves, on the banks of the Yuqiao River, holding tools to reclaim the land, according to the traces left, this area was once planted with barley, but after nearly ten years of abandonment, the land has long been overgrown with weeds, and these slaves need to be carefully cultivated little by little, waiting for the sowing of next spring.

Especially on the north bank of the Yuqiao River, in the wasteland, there are also irrigation canals and ravines that have been built, and with the slaves being escorted over, a large piece of sandy land has been reclaimed in half a month, and after all the weeds are burned away, a little leveling has been successfully completed.

Everything is in full swing, even on the offshore waters, and the light warships captured from the group of pirates have been converted into fishing boats, and as the citizens with fishing experience go out to sea, almost every return voyage can bring back a rich harvest, which is not much more than those professional fishermen.

After all, the East Coast is rich in fishery, and even ten years ago it was quite famous, although it is only enough for the current internal supply of Cape Town, but the abundance of fish also makes up for some of the cost of buying bread.

At least today's chefs have developed many kinds of edible ways to eat fish, including fried fish with bread crumbs, breaded fish soup, baked fish bread, plus fresh meat hunted in the woods.

During the development of half a month, the water thieves in the inland swamp also seemed to be aware of the advantage that Li Wei had already occupied, and did not continue to send troops to attack and disturb.

Even this group of thieves from the Ketufu River has withdrawn all the strongholds on both sides of the Ketufu River, and completely cowered in the swamp, just like when they were pressed and beaten by the Sama City River Patrol Team, they did not dare to set foot in the Ketufu River easily.

After all, the loss of elite troops, half of the elite troops that could fight were wiped out, and the number of people who fled back was less than 300, which was enough to be called a miserable fiasco, and it was also to take advantage of the fact that the river patrol teams of Samar City and Gray Mist City had not yet formed, and they reluctantly built fortifications in the swamp to protect themselves.

However, the news of this group of water thieves is also very secret, and until now, the people of Gray Mist City and Samar City do not know that the water thieves of the Ketufu River that they once feared have actually been greatly reduced, and even the Ketufu River cannot be controlled.

Although the merchant ships of Samar City were also bold, after coming to Grey Mist City along the Ketufu River, they found that the blockade of the group of water thieves had weakened to a very small extent, and a large number of merchant ships also went down the river, bringing various raw materials and food from Samar City, and continuing to fill the market of Grey Mist City.

As far as Green led the team to Gray Mist City more than a dozen times, it was only according to the news that now the thieves of the Ketufu River have gathered their troops, and it seems that there is some big action, but no one can think that the smoothness of the Ketufu River actually has a lot to do with Cape Town.

In fact, even if they said it, those guys wouldn't believe it at all, even if they killed more than 300 water thieves through an ambush, but in the eyes of those nobles, Levi of Cape Town was still a pitiful worm, the product of their mutual compromise, and it is estimated that he is still struggling to survive in the ruins.

Even those civilians are not interested in the development of Cape Town at all, and no one has even been to the East Coast for half a month to inquire about the specific development of Cape Town, everything is going on in obscurity, and they have no idea that a brand new town has appeared on the East Coast, and it is gradually becoming prosperous.

But in the past half month, the Cutulf River thieves in the Everglades also seem to have changed drastically, especially when the ragged Overseer appears on the island in the middle of the Everglades, and everyone can see the hostility in the eyes of the Overseer and the Marsh Baron.
