"Your Excellency, you haven't named the city yet. Su Qi reminded Xia He.

"Name, wait until I've seen the drawings. ”

The group came to the Marquis's Palace, which covers a large area, but the building is simple, with a wall around the outside and some trees planted. It's a bit like Cape Storm, a stone house, very rough, just one floor.

Well, Xia He originally didn't plan to stay here longer, he first asked Su Qi to arrange for students to live, and the first time he entered his family's study, the study was also empty, there were no books, only a lot of documents were shelved.

The map spreads out, and Xia He sees that the city designed by Freya is not a political center at all, and it is simply planned to build a huge barracks. The ground is a fortress complex, and the underground is a storehouse, with well-established fortifications.

"What does this mean?" Xia He asked Su Qi, pointing to the drawings.

"Lord Freya said that it can still produce food, and that it can build a training city to familiarize the soldiers with the details of urban battles. Rhode Island is no better than other places, food is still tight, and the development of small plains and local supplies can feed enough soldiers. ”

"In other words, the Marquis's Mansion won't be located here at all?"

"This place was decided by the emperor, and it was originally a village with a small deserted castle. Lord Freya wanted to ask the Marquis to go to the sea to build a city and make a living from fishing and shipbuilding, and after the recruits were trained here, they were sent to the sea to train them to become a navy. ”

Xia He nodded and said, "The location has been chosen?"

"After choosing, construction has actually started, and there are no suitable ports on the east coast, so we have to rely on manual means to transform the landscape. ”

"This one is too hard. Xia He frowned.

"Mistress Freya, she paid for a legendary mage in Metatrin to get the hardest part, and then she can continue with ghosts and gods. ”

Xia He didn't know what to say, Freya was really able to toss, and the most incredible thing for him was that she could actually hire a legendary mage, or the Metatrin family.

"The officials of the Marquis's Mansion are all from the Empire?"

"It's almost changed, and it's basically promoted by locals. Although barren here, there are still some magicians and knights, except for the hundreds of thousands of people in the south, the rest are under the system of the Marquis's Palace. ”

Xia He thought for a while and said, "In this case, it's much better than I thought, this place is still under construction, and I have enough funds to use now." The main treatment is the farmland here, this small plain, which can feed millions of people. Looks like Rhode Island isn't bad. ”

"My lord, Rhode Island is of course good, and raw coal has been found in the north, and it is estimated that there is natural black gold. It's just that the cost of mining is high now, and the nobles of the empire already know this information, but no one is willing to come and invest yet. After all, there is too much raw coal in the empire, and the price cannot be high. But for us......"

"It's a strategic resource, something in the territory, and no one wants to move it. ”

"So, Lord Marquis, what are we going to do next?"

"That's what I plan, since Rhode Island is also very important, then I will build a Sun City on the east coast, build a Blue Moon City in Stormwind Point, and build a large teleportation array. In this way, even if there is a connection between my two territories, everyone can develop with peace of mind. ”

"My lord, it costs too much to build a city. ”

"Have you forgotten our income?" Xia He shook his head and said, "Since you have money, you have to spend it all." Armies can't go through teleportation arrays, but supplies can. The resources on the South China Sea side of Cape Storm are swapped with this side, well, I already have a plan, let me stay alone for two days. ”

Xia He said, even Medierri and the others rushed out, left in the study alone, took the magic paper, and began to draw Sun City and Blue Moon City.

In these two cities, the Daomen means did not dare to put it up, so they could only hide.

The climate of Rhodes Island is already winter, even the southern tip of the island is very cold, and the north is starting to snow. The weather in this small plain is good, there are high mountains in the east and north, and the cold air is blocked, not yet to the extent of freezing, so this small plain is more suitable for farming, and the cold is slightly later.

Xia He was drawing drawings in his study, and there was a map of the whole Rhode Island on the wall, and he was thinking about it while observing the geography of Rhode Island, and he felt more and more that this place was good.

Because the island is too large, the surrounding sea area is only close to the middle of the eastern part of the sea near the deep sea, and the rest of the place is a continental shelf tens of meters deep. This continental shelf extends outward for six or seven hundred miles, and the deepest point is less than two hundred meters.

Seabed resources are much easier to exploit.

Magicians don't know how to mine, they don't even think about developing underwater technology. Those hundreds of thousands of fishermen who refused to obey the rule of the Marquis's Palace?

Xia He didn't want to make any sense at all, who was behind it, he would find out, and then let them go.

If you don't let go, go to war.

Because the real troublemakers are at most a few thousand people, and if there are more than 10,000, someone will be coerced. How dare ordinary fishermen fight against any nobles.

As long as you have a fleet, blockade the south, and place an army on land to prevent the enemy from instigating rebellion, the matter will be settled.

Hundreds of thousands of people have to eat, drink, and feed their families. If you can't go to the sea, if you can't trade, you'll starve to death. Either they will fight or surrender.

No matter how arrogant he spoke, he was his own enemy if he participated.

If you do this, the fleet on the side of Sun City will be on the agenda. Xia He knew that in Cape Storm, a lot of boats had actually been built, although they were not new to him, but they were enough here. Freya is building a floating battleship herself, and then a giant ironclad ship, and no one can threaten her at sea.

As for the land, it is a little difficult to do, Rhode Island is mountainous, this plain is already the largest, and in the rest of the place, there are very few people who can gather.

However, he will build a factory in the future and use some means to make his people become professionals, even if it is only at the first level.

A first-level professional has several times the strength of ordinary people, and he is not easy to get sick, and his mind will become smarter. In many worlds, professionals are only human beings, and if they can't become professionals, they will live like slaves.

With a population of more than four million, the size of the principality!

On the second day, Xia asked Medilli to give the students a task to conduct a census of the entire Rhode Island. The main thing is to select suitable young children or teenagers and send them to Storm Horn for training.

This suitability does not refer only to magicians, but also to those who can become warriors.

These things should have been done a long time ago, but Xia He is not from this world, and he doesn't know anyone in Rhode Island at all, and he can't start. Now that I have more wings, I have the ability to do things.

On the map of the whole of Rhodes, there is a simple plan of Freya.

This small plain is the heart, which mainly produces its own food, ensuring that the people of the island will not be trapped to death. In the western part of the continent, build a city, build another large port in the east, and in the rest of the place, there can also be some small harbors, mainly depending on whether there are suitable places to live nearby.

Fishing or something, in the future, it will become a matter of the Marquis's Palace, there are large fishing boats, and it does not take much manpower to catch a large amount of seafood. The people of Rhode Island will slowly become the military power of Xia He.

Nowadays the population is not large, but if the Marquis provides enough food and jobs for the whole island to function, the population will swell very quickly. After all, Rhode Island is so large that it can accommodate far more than these millions of people.

Freya was going to turn it into a factory, and from then on, the number of farmers and fishermen in Rhode Island would plummet.

As long as you work for the marquis, you don't have to fight with God for food.

The factory experience of the Shenzhou World can make Xiahe the best alchemy factory concentration area in the entire empire. And a lot of people who aren't magicians join in, but they're just responsible for turning on the machine and keeping it running.

Xiahe stopped in Rhode Island, and the students researched the files, and then ran around to find suitable children to recruit into Xiahe's academy. On Xia He's side, I met the magician, a woman in her early thirties.

This magician is an epic of level twenty-five, and Xia He was very surprised.

"Lord Marquis, I am Goliath. "The sorceress was polite.

Golia is wearing a purple ** robe, her face is a little weathered, her facial features are quite exquisite, a ring on her hand and a pair of earrings on her ears are her three pieces of equipment.

"Which academy are you from?" Xia He was a little curious.

"Back to my lord, I am not from the academy, but I have audited at the East China Sea Magic Academy. Because I couldn't provide tuition, I had to study on my own after grade 20 and went back to Rhode Island. ”

"You're from Rhode Island?"

"Yes, when my father was alive, there were several boats. I rescued a magician at sea, and in return, the magician enlightened me, when I was eighteen years old. ”

"And you this year?"

"Just thirty-five years old. ”

"It's a miracle that I started to get into magic at the age of eighteen, and before I was thirty-five, it became an epic. It's a shame that you're so talented. ”

"There's no shame about it, I'm lucky to be a magician. ”

"Why do you know I'm looking for you?"

Golia smiled bitterly: "Rhodes Island is the territory of adults, you let me come, I don't need to know the reason." ”

"Goliath, yes, no matter what life you want to live, but if you're a native of Rhode Island or an epic mage, I can't stop asking. And even if you don't do things for me, you will be labeled with me. ”

"I understand. ”

"So let's do something for me, I can't guarantee anything else, I can still do it if I provide you with advanced legendary resources. ”

"And what do I have to pay?"

"Loyalty. ”

Goliath was silent, she also knew that in the Empire, she could not be free forever. Especially in the territory of the Blood Mage. Please Baidu "Throw Book Network" Thank you for your support!
