At the Black Iron Port, Zina and Jane have just transferred some managers from their respective places of responsibility, and are coordinating positions to support the construction of the Port of Ambo.

"Xena, I won't go this time, I'm going to the volcanic island to take charge, that kid from Ward will only soak in the real yàn room all day long, and he won't manage the affairs of the island much, but he can't let him make a mess of the volcanic island. Molly was in the study, talking to the maid who had been waiting for her since she was a child.

Zina listened to her eldest lady's words, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, it seemed that Ward's affairs had reached Molly's ears, she nodded and said to Molly: "Got it, and I also brought a few people from the island, and after a period of training, I can handle some affairs alone, so that you and Lord Clifford will not be so tired." ”

"You go to Ambo, and the external contact is left to Jane, she has been in the town of Estuary for a while, and she is very familiar with Hunter and Nancy, and your main thing to do is to put Ambo's housekeeping in order, and gradually move those people out, especially the residents who have been converted, and give priority to them. ”

Molly flipped through her notebook and told Xena what Adès had told her about, looking for anything else she had missed.

Anna next to her covered her head and spoke at this time: "Where did I find so many soldiers for him?

Molly shook her head, not only did the city defense army and the guards fall apart, but the affairs officer system in the territory was also about to fall apart.

From the beginning of the recapture of the title, the affairs officers of the Black Iron Harbor will be reassigned, and then when it is time to completely take the county of Navabira, it will already be necessary to draw people from the Barony of Borden.

After taking the volcanic island. Some of the clerks were taken to help, and now there is another transit port. The military and political system of the territory is almost overwhelmed, especially the affairs officer. It's not easy to find someone who is familiar with law and taxation, especially someone who can get started as soon as you arrive in a new place, and there are only a few in the whole territory.

"The last time Ade mentioned that we wanted to keep running some short-term training courses and recruit some minor nobles to participate in the construction of the territory, I think now is the time. Molly said to Anna with a frown.

"To select, the minor nobles in the territory are basically the descendants of the former fiefdom nobles, and we forcibly took their territory away, if we are not careful. It's easy to attract enemies. "Anna has always objected to Adès' attempt to recruit nobles in the country.

"But no one uses it now!" Molly is going crazy, now it's not just one Black Iron Port, it's the entire Navabira plus Barony and Ambo Harbor, not to mention Volcanic Island and Bayoutown.

Anna spread her hands, indicating that she could not solve the contradiction herself.

"Otherwise, let them start with small positions, and don't arrange important positions. Zina also knew that there was a shortage of manpower in the territory now, so she made an idea to her eldest lady.

"No, even if it's a small position. As long as they have bad intentions together, it will cause a lot of damage, and what if they are patient and lurking? After ten or eight years, they have qualifications. Aren't you going to get promoted?" Anna disagreed, shaking her head.

Molly thought for a moment and said to Anna: "If it's just in the internal affairs system, it's not a big problem, if something happens, just let the army suppress it." The key is that you can't have problems with your city defenses and guards, especially the guards. It's responsible for the security of a few of us and the security of the territory, and if something happens, it's a big deal. ”

"So Iwen and I are very strict about this now. The guards are very strict in selecting talents, and they are always checked with the camp aura, just for fear that they will be hostile to the territory. Anna was also annoyed by this.

"Let's get the people of Ambo Harbor together first, and when Ades comes back, we must discuss a way to come out, otherwise the affairs of the territory will be messed up." Molly rubbed her eyebrows and looked at the various documents on the desktop, at a loss.

At this time, Ades, who was far away in Ambo Port, did not have any troubles, and was proudly discussing with Hunter, who had just arrived in Ambo, how to open up the traffic between the outpost and Ambo Port.

"Uncle Hunter, it's not realistic to use inland river ships alone, in that case, the speed from the outpost to Ambo is acceptable, but the return journey from Ambo to the outpost will be very slow, and there is no problem with transporting goods, but what if Ambo needs military support from the outpost?"

Outside the east gate of Port Ambo, Ades pointed to the Red Water River outside the breakwater, talking to Hunter.

"But we don't have the manpower to build such a road from the outpost to the port of Ambo, which is not a small project, and it will take a lot of manpower and material resources. Hunter knew that such a road would be a good thing for the outpost, but without people, construction would be impossible.

Pointing to a house on the bank of the river, Adès said to Hunt, "There's a dockyard where medium-sized merchant ships can be made, and if you agree with Cardinal, I can get someone from Beruye, Shoun, or even Maris to do this." ”

"I don't quite understand what you mean, why should I agree with Cardinal, and what does this have to do with the shipyard?"

Pointing in the direction of the Redwater River upstream, Ades said to Hunter, "From the banks of the Redwater River all the way to the outpost's dock, build a path along the river, cutting down trees and digging the foundations of the road. ”

Hunter's brow furrowed at the first hearing.

Cutting down trees?

This is a big problem, although the teachings of the forest goddess are not as paranoid and extreme as her father's, but she is not so sympathetic to deforestation.

"The wood that has been cut down can be made into rafts that can be put out of the dock from the middle reaches of the Hongshui River, so that we can build boats and expand the number of ships. Ades's fingers returned from their upstream position to the dock not far away.

"It's also a way to save capacity, but I don't agree with the felling for a while, I'll have to go back and discuss it with Cardinal, and you can also cause damage to the vegetation on the way to the water, have you thought about it?" said Hunter with a frown.

He could understand that Adès wanted to expand his fleet and make more money, but if it was based on the premise of destroying forests, he couldn't approve of it.

As a devout disciple of the goddess of the forest, even if he is facing his closest nephew, if he wants to destroy the forest, Hunter will never agree, even if it causes the relationship between the two to become cold.

"No, uncle, I'm also a believer in my lord, how could I do such a thing, you listen to me carefully, I have already talked to Nancy about this matter, digging the road is not necessarily destroying the forest. ”

Ades hurriedly reassured Hunter, he already had a plan in mind, although it would have an impact on the forests along the coast, but these effects were not large, and it should be acceptable. (To be continued......)
