Finney Castle, study;

It was already May, and the weather was getting hot, and even inside the castle, Seta could still feel the heat rolling outside;

However, as a nobleman, he naturally has privileges, and there are ice basins in the four corners of the room to exude a hint of coolness, dissipating the tiresome heat;

He loosened the collar of his shirt, took the document handed by the castle steward, and asked directly without looking through it:

"How's it going?

Deben immediately bowed down and said:

"All well, Sir!"

"As you requested, a total of 40 male slaves and 40 female slaves were purchased this time, all of them healthy and strong young men."

"Each male ** is subordinate to 2 gold coins, and female ** is affiliated with 1 gold coin, a total of 120 gold coins, plus the transportation cost of 10 gold coins, a total of 130 gold coins"

"In another week, it should be delivered to Bay Village"

Seta didn't look up, he flipped through the papers in his hand and said:

"Not bad!"

"The price is very reasonable!" After looking through it twice, it was no different from what the housekeeper said, so he stopped looking at the documents carefully, and asked with some curiosity:

"Where did all these slaves come from?"

Deben respectfully said:

"They were all bankrupt farmers or merchant families in a few nearby counties, and you know that there were always people who lost their family property for various reasons and became slaves."

"In fact, it's good to be able to be slaves, and although they lose their freedom, at least they save their lives"

"There are many people who don't even have the opportunity to become slaves, such as old people who don't have special talents, or children who don't have special talents, no one will want them."

Seta nodded clearly and didn't ask any more, existence is reasonable, isn't it?

Skipping the subject, he stood up, tossed the ice cubes in the ice basin with his iron tongs, and then asked:

"How's the progress on George's side?"

Deben says:

"According to the report received yesterday, the construction of the barracks has now been completed in Bay Village"

"Your Excellency the Interior Officer, next prepare to level the road"

Seta groaned slightly, shook her head and said:

"The slaves have not yet arrived, and there are too few men"

Deben says:

"Yes, sir," said after a pause, and tried to suggest:

"Sir, in fact, we can levy the people to build, so the progress will be much faster"

Seta glanced at the castle steward, shook his head, and said:

"It's not a good deal!"

"Sending people from the town is too far, and sending people from Muen Manor will cause the original manor to be understaffed, which will affect this year's agricultural harvest."

"I don't know how other families do it, but I don't trade at a loss" paused:

"Wait, don't rush these days, just wait for the slaves to arrive"

"Our aim is to complete the infrastructure of Bay Village before winter!"

Deben says:

"Yes, Sir!" Although he still didn't understand why Sir said it was not worth it, as a qualified servant, Deben would never disobey the orders of the master. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The corners of Seta's mouth curled slightly, now this butler is much smarter than the last Highbury;

Seven days pass in a flash;

The scorching sun in the sky unscrupulously swayed its light and heat, and the chirping of wild birds in the distant forest also stopped, as if they were also hiding from the summer heat;

Seta stood on the hill and watched the slaves line up from the ships on the makeshift dock below;

He turned his head and asked:

"Is everything arranged?"

George took a half step forward and said:

"Yes, Jazz"

"According to your orders, they will first be bathed to remove the plague from their bodies, and then they will be given clean clothes, and their original clothes will be burned by fire."

"And for the time being, they will be limited to a certain range of activities and will not be able to cross the line"

Seta nodded with satisfaction:

"Yes, well done, but what about the food?"

Deben was in charge of the food, and he bowed down a little and said:

"It's cooked, finely chopped with fish and wild vegetables picked in the forest, plus some wheat, which is very bad and easy to digest, and there are 10 barrels in total, enough for these people to eat."

Seta nodded and said:

"Good," and then he commanded:

"Let's let these people rest for a night today, well, just sleep in the barracks"

"To-morrow let them cut wood and build a slave barn, and when the hut is finished, the workshop will follow!" said, turning his head.

"George, you can arrange this matter"

"We need to set up the workshop as soon as possible!"

George says:

"Yes, Sir!"

If it is just to build a fishing village and then catch and sell fish, naturally there is no need for a workshop;

But Seta from the earth knows in his heart that the pure supply of raw materials, the profit is too meager, and it is not competitive, and it is at the bottom of this business link!

He spent so much energy to build Bay Village, naturally not for that little profit!

What he wants is a deeper level of raw material processing, even refining, and earning higher added value is his goal!

For example, fish can be made into dried fish, which is not only convenient for storage and transportation, but also can be sold at a higher price;

Thinking of this, his brows furrowed:

There are a lot of process problems that need to be solved in canning, so let's not think about it for the time being! Turn your head and look at the blue sea, as well as the seawater that can be seen everywhere here, you can also use it:

Make sea salt!

The price of salt, which Seta has understood, is not too expensive, but it is definitely not cheap;

What's more, salt is a consumable, not that you can save if you want to, everyone consumes a certain amount of salt every day!

It's also a great product!

。。。。。。

In the following period, Bay Village changed rapidly from day to day;

Uniform slave sheds were the first to be built, with a total of 8 sheds, each of which housed 10 people, and men and women were naturally separated;

Seta felt as if he was playing a construction game, completing the plan in his mind little by little, and he felt a sense of accomplishment, and now he finally understood why Qin Shi Huang in the history of the earth wanted to build the Great Wall;

I'm afraid that in addition to defending against the Huns, there is also a sense of accomplishment in it, right?

After the slave barn was built, the salt works followed:

A sunny stretch of beach in Bay Village is walled and guarded by a small group of soldiers;

At this time, Seta stood inside the wall with George, pointed to a drawing, and said:

"Dig a shallow pit there and put stone slabs in it... ”

"When seawater is introduced, the entrance is closed。。。。。 ”

In his previous life, Seta had never seen what the real salt farm looked like, but relying on the manuscripts he had read in his mind, he experimented with the restoration little by little, and he had the salt farm in front of him;

George's eyes widened, as if he had seen the undead, and he stammered:

"Sir... Sir... You mean ... This one... So you can ... There can be salt coming out???!!!"

Seta smiled slightly, and affirmed:

"That's true!"

"Ou ~ my god!!! this is not a salt field, this is a gold coin field!!!"
