Chapter 125: A New Industry

Poor Ababa had only been ashore for a day before he was sent back to sea by Lin Ye again, and he took two boats full of beer kegs. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

He was accompanied by 100 soldiers, in addition to the crew.

Although Ababa is famous as the son of a famous giant merchant in the East China Sea, the sea has not been peaceful recently.

It's better to be careful.

His goal is Fish Leap Harbor, the closest port to Blackfire Castle.

It was a trading hub on the western side of the East China Sea, not the territory of the Bolton family.

Ababa had traveled there before, and had some friends in the business field, so it was much easier to get things done.

Of course, the Black Fire Harbor is far away from the Yuyue Harbor, and it will take a month to come and go.

During this month's time, Lin Ye had to raise enough food on his own to survive the crisis.

"The inventory in the castle has been counted, with a total of 40,000 catties of grain, which is still 80,000 catties away from the expectation. Lin Ye smiled bitterly and shook his head, if it was before, this number would naturally be more than enough.

But now that the population of the Black Fire Castle has skyrocketed, this little food alone is not enough to survive this month smoothly.

He had to find another way to raise food.

"Why don't we go to Falcon Town and buy it?" Kate suggested.

He was following the Duke around the newly built temporary settlement.

Although he is a military attaché, he does not know much about internal affairs.

But I also want to share the worries of the Duke.

As a border town in the northeast of the empire, Falcon Town was a very important border trade distribution point, and a large amount of supplies were hoarded.

Border trade is frequent.

"No, it's too far from us to Falcon Town, and it takes about the same amount of time to get back and forth from Ababa to Fishleaping Harbor, so instead of buying food from them, it's better to find a way to get it from the orcs. Lin Ye groaned.

He probably had an idea in mind.

The forest development project in the distance is in full swing.

From time to time, strong orcs would come over carrying logs and piling them up at the settlement site.

It's only been 3 days, and the logs have already piled up into a mountain.

A small old man of low stature was pacing back and forth with a pen and paper as he sorted out the wood suitable for making paper.

From time to time, he commanded the surrounding soldiers to sort the wood and carry it to a nearby soaking pool.

He had to go through many experiments to figure out which types of wood were suitable for use as a raw material for making paper.

When Lin Ye saw him, he greeted him from afar.

But he didn't pay attention.

He was the little old man Lin Ye had met in the Undercurrent Island bookstore.

During the disaster on Undercurrent Island, he did not choose to go to his relatives, but came to the Far East.

He was very interested in papermaking and hit it off with Lin Ye.

He is also in charge of the work of making paper, and recently he has been completely immersed in the choice of materials.

is a very serious and paranoid person.

"Looks like you've got a solution, my lord. "Kate was overjoyed.

Being able to solve the food problem means not having to watch people go hungry.

This is something to celebrate for him.

"Almost, the people from the port have already come, let's go over and pick them up, they have come all the way to settle in our Black Fire Castle, everyone should get along well. Lin Ye smiled.

More than 2,000 residents of Undercurrent Island, who followed him to the Far East, have been staying in the harbor for three days.

It wasn't until the temporary settlement was set up that they came to Blackfire Castle.

The people who live on the sea are very fresh to life on land.

"Look, this is our new home, it's so beautiful, it's really a beautiful place. ”

"Are the orcs carrying the wood? Are they the Governor's people?

"Your Excellency Governor has been waiting for us over there, we've been idle for days, but you must arrange something for us to do!"

Emotions are running high, helping the old and the young to come to their new homes.

The child looked curiously at everything around him.

Especially the furry orcs are the most novel to them.

"I'm sorry, because I've been away for too long, and there are a lot of things here, so I've wronged you these days. Lin Ye said apologetically.

Yuffie stood in front of him and smiled softly.

Kate looked at this girl with outstanding temperament, and was stunned: "My lord, who is this?"

"Didn't he tell you? I'm his fiancée. Without waiting for Lin Ye to answer, Yu Fei took the lead in giving the answer.

Generous and unashamed.

A confident smile spread across her face.

"Fiancée, my lord, what the hell is going on?" Kate's eyes widened, and the incident was so sensational.

When the Duke went to sea, he brought back not only an army, but also a large population.

He even brought back a fiancée.

It's a great way to go.

Kate's admiration for him immediately rose several arcs.

He looked into Yuffe's eyes and looked respectful.

"Well, a lot of things happened during this period...... Lin Ye slapped his head, he really didn't know how to explain this kind of question.

Jason, who was the initiator, happened to pass in front of them carrying a log.

After seeing Lin Ye's eyes and Yu Fei.

He immediately twisted his head to the side, pretended not to see, and hurried by.

"Isn't this Jason Boss, Boss, take a break, we'll help you!" Jason's thugs immediately greeted him when they saw him.

However, since the leader of the gangsters, Jason has become an officer of the Blackfire Castle.

Then these gangsters under his hands are naturally good.

They immediately threw themselves into the construction of the new town.

Yu Fei smiled, she led the old and weak women and children to live in the settlement for the time being, as the eldest lady of the Governor's Palace, she enjoyed great prestige among the people of Undercurrents.

Originally, Lin Ye planned to arrange for her to live in the castle, but she insisted on living with these old and weak women and children.

After all, they are new to the city and are not familiar with their surroundings.

Plus there are orcs again.

With her by their side, they also have a backbone.

Lin Ye did not object, and the young men asked for jobs for them.

Blackfire Castle is now under construction on a large scale.

The construction work was mainly carried out by soldiers and orcs, which was already more than 1,000 laborers, and there were more than enough to build towns.

Except for some carpenters and stonemasons, Lin Ye did not intend to involve these people in the construction of the town.

After all, the industry of the Black Fire family cannot be stagnant, on the basis of the original brewing and breeding industry.

He also wants to develop new industries.

In addition to the paper industry, which is in the experimental stage, there is also a completely new opportunity in front of him.

That is what the Far East is rich in and can bring great wealth.

Mining!
