readx;? It had been several days since the coronation of the Fourth Prince Rhaegar had been announced, and the news had begun to spread to various places as the messenger began to spread to various places. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

But Rhaegar is young after all, and his roots are in the royal capital, and the local support is far less than that of the eldest prince Leo and the second prince Leighton.

Probably less than five of the more than twenty provinces in the entire empire have publicly declared their support for Rhaeggar, and the status of these provinces is still below average.

The vast majority of the governors declared that Rhaeggar's coronation had no legal effect and refused to accept his call, and the governors began to fight aggressively.

Some began to move in the direction of the royal capital, waving their banners for the forces they supported, while others simply ignored them.

They are determined to wait until the situation becomes more and more chaotic, and then wait for the price to sell, and at this time the most important thing is to preserve strength.

Baiyan Province belongs to this category, and after getting the news of the coronation of the four princes, the major city lords within the province began to meet and discuss.

Hawk's Nest is an unstable factor, an outlier, and Hawke originally planned to go to the royal capital to participate in the war.

However, this factor has been removed by Lin Ye, and he signed cooperation agreements with the major city lords when he was in Yingge City.

They will ensure that Blackfire's business can continue smoothly, and that the official structure of Seagull Harbor will be withdrawn, leaving Seagull Harbor fully autonomous.

Lin Ye paid a small price in order to reach this destination, but this is definitely more beneficial than disadvantageous in the long run.

The governor of Baiyan Province was assassinated two days ago, not to mention that the appointment of the empire was not delivered, and even if it was delivered, the city lords refused to accept it.

The city lords set up an autonomous committee, with Anthony Martial of Yingge City as the chairman, and he was able to ascend to the throne with Lin Ye's support.

In this way, even in a state of war, business can be carried out smoothly, and as the war spreads, supplies will become more scarce.

"The new port officer is just a formality, don't worry about him causing trouble, I will leave a hundred soldiers stationed here, their salaries will be deducted according to the normal employee salary, and when I return to the Far East, I will start building a navy for warships to cruise in the East China Sea. ”

Lin Ye calculated the cost of building a navy and the process of purchasing magic cannons.

It will take at least a year to complete this, and at a time when the Empire does not pay attention to naval development, if he can firmly control the sea power.

Not only was it easy to carry out overseas trade, but it would also be very easy to carry out landing operations one day.

"With the escort of warships, we can also go to various places in time to provide support. ”

It has been more than two months since Lin Ye left the Far East, and he doesn't know how the research of Eight Feet has gotten, so he left a drawing before leaving.

It was a sketch of a steamship, and since the steam engine had been developed, it would of course be widely used in other fields.

Today's sailboats are too slow and not very maneuverable, and it would be an improvement if they could be changed to steam-powered drives.

"My lord, I heard that there has been a lot of piracy recently, and we have already had two ships attacked this month. ”

Yusuf recalled the report he had received earlier, and cautiously advised.

Both times they succeeded in repelling the pirates, but this was a bad sign no matter how you look at it.

"Pirates, it seems to be a new trouble, but it's normal to think about it, so much wealth flows on the sea, it's strange not to attract covetousness, I have written down this matter, I will deal with it, you go down and rest first, and you will return to work tomorrow." ”

Lin Ye patted him on the shoulder, due to the chaos of the Derek brothers, the port had been paralyzed for two days, and the goods were piling up.

Every minute wasted is money lost, and shipping needs to be put back on track quickly.

"No, my lord, work will resume today. Yousuf had a determined look in his eyes.

Lin Ye smiled dumbly, this is really a man who is responsible for his work.

As soon as Yusuf retreated, he took his colleagues to the port to begin the restoration work.

After two days of work, they don't want to sleep tonight.

Lin Ye looked out the window into the street, where the soldiers were cleaning the blood from the streets, and Crouff proposed that the Derek brothers be put on display.

But Lin Ye refused, although that would be a great deterrent, but what he needed was an active economy.

Instead of dominating the place with terror, soon Lancelot walked in.

"My lord, what about the guards and sailors of the former governor's palace who surrendered, and the gang of ruffians in the harbor?" asked Lancelot.

After the appearance of the Iron Eagle Guard, Hans was frightened and immediately surrendered, but Lin Ye refused to accept it.

In a fit of rage, he ordered the whole army to storm and break the net with the young duke.

But his men were indifferent, and asked the sailors to fight the sea, and they were afraid that they would not be afraid.

But if they want to fight to the death with an army that is stubborn and has an absolute advantage in numbers, they don't want to die in vain.

In the end, none of them were willing to share the same hatred with the Derek brothers and Hans, and in fact, they slaughtered the three of them in public.

Now leaving a few hundred prisoners is also a problem to dispose of.

"We will take all the sailors away, if we are preparing to build a navy, we will need experienced sailors, it is a pity to kill them, tell them that those who are willing to go with us are allowed to bring their families to live in the Far East, and if they are unwilling, they will be cut directly. ”

Lin Ye looked at the confused sailors outside the window, their fate had already been decided, but he didn't think anyone would refuse.

"What about the Doge's Palace guards and ruffians?" asked Lancelot again.

"Go to the streets and find ten old men, and if they are locals, let them identify them, and find out the most heinous ones, and if the lesser ones are to go to the port to do a year's hard labor, and if they persist, they will be converted into regular workers and paid the same wages. ”

Lin Ye thought about it, a regular worker is an employee who works for the Black Fire Company, pays his salary on time every month, and enjoys various benefits.

Hired workers, on the other hand, are paid according to the hours worked and have no welfare protection.

In the case of hard labor, the hours are one-quarter longer than that of a hired worker, and the salary is only half that of a hired worker.

They are in charge of the supervisor, which can be regarded as making the best use of things, Lin Ye doesn't want to raise a bunch of waste people, and pays attention to efficiency first.

"What will happen to the heinous gang?" asked Lancelot.

"Find them somewhere where no one is and bury them all. Lin Ye said it lightly.

There seems to be no awareness that he is making a cruel decision.

"What?" said Lancelot, surprised.

"Righteousness does not manage money, compassion does not lead the army, the world has been in turmoil, do as I say. (To be continued.) )
