Chapter 905: Expansion (I)
In July, summer has arrived, and in the nearby coastal territory, a piece of news is circulating. "Did you hear that? The Red Skull Pirates have been wiped out by Lord Romon's fleet.
"Yes, a public trial has been held, and the rest of the pirates have been hanged, which is very painful!"
"I heard that Lord Romon also gave some of the seized goods to the lost Chamber of Commerce, which is really fair and generous, and it is said that many merchants on the spot wept bitterly and expressed their gratitude. ”
"Well, at the time of the trial, the pirates also confessed to three merchants who accepted the pirates' dirty goods.
"I heard that these businesses ...... I have the background of the Glorious Church!"
"Shhh, you dare to say this, you don't want to live anymore?"
Ignoring the discussions, Romon's territory is underway.
"This project is very big!" Looking at the almost constant team of Yuncun Section, Fafer, who came to inspect, said with emotion.
In the open space of the dock that almost turned into a material pile, the three of Romon, Fafeld and Nick walked side by side, looking a little strange, Romon's expression was very serious, Fafer had a hint of excitement, and Nick had a bitter face.
"Yes, can this project not be big? The height of the gold coins spent on the pile will definitely make people marvel like you. Seeing that Farfil was so excited, Nick said a little depressed.
"Hey, I said Nick, why do you always look sad?" Farfer patted Nick on the shoulder. "It's a good thing to expand the Mage Tower, don't be so depressed, you have to believe that the gold coins spent today will one day roll back in several times or even dozens of times. ”
"I hope so. Nick nodded and said.
In fact, he also knew that this mage tower was very important and had a very important military significance, but the thought of the amount of money that could be called astronomical made Nick feel a little painful.
He didn't know that Romon had a huge fortune in his possession, and that he had three new projects to invest in.
Nick, who manages many matters in the territory, is careful in everything, and does not dare to spend a penny more where it should not be used, and he can be said to have handled it perfectly in the management of public funds.
Although it is said that the territory has had some money recently, but last year's Cold War, trade was also very damaged, so it can't be spent like this.
The officials he has cultivated have all inherited his glorious traditions, and all of them are meticulous in their calculations!
Without talking to the two of them, Romon had already stopped and began to carefully examine the half-expanded mage tower, with a faint smile on his face, quite satisfied with the progress of the project. "It's not bad, this project will be completed in a while, and the efficiency of the person in charge is good. Romon complimented casually. At this time, the wind picked up on the flat ground, because this is where the material was piled up, and the sand suddenly flew up.
The three of them walked out with difficulty, and when they walked back to the carriage, except for Romon who was still spotless, the two of them had already turned gray. "My lord, I am jealous of you. After wiping his face, Fafer muttered. "Me too. Then, Nick also spoke.
Seeing that the two good friends looked embarrassed now, Luo Meng couldn't help but laugh, and even comforted them: "It's okay, it's okay, just go back and take a shower." "Is there any other way than that?
Fafell and Nick thought helplessly.
However, in addition to helplessness, they have nothing to complain about, who made Romon a great druid, no way, druids have this innate advantage in nature, who makes the family the guardian of nature?
After getting into the car, the three of them sat in the spacious carriage, and when they had nothing to do, they continued to discuss the mage tower.
"After this mage tower is built, is its power and range several times stronger than the previous one?" "As the manager of the city's city defense army, Fafer is usually responsible for the safety and security of the city, so he is naturally most concerned about this issue.
Luo Meng thought back to the relevant information and said, "At least there will be more than two times, and after the expansion into an intermediate mage tower, the level of mages that can be cultivated will also be adjusted upwards." ”
"What level will it be?" Nick noticed.
"About level ten, the intermediate mage tower, it should be able to cultivate a level ten mage. Luo Rong said affirmatively. "Rank 10 mage? This level is really not low. Hearing this answer, Nick nodded, and the pain in his flesh and pain finally eased a lot. "But my lord, I have something to mention to you. Fafer said suddenly. Luo Meng smiled: "What's the matter, just say it if you want to, it's about the Mage Tower?" "No, it's not about the Mage Tower, but this matter is also very important for the defense of the territory." Fafer said.
"Navy?" Luo Meng suddenly knew what the other party wanted to say, however, this didn't seem to be his business, but after thinking about it, in this world, the classification is not so strict, and Fair is a nobleman and a friend, so it's perfectly okay to say some suggestions!
"Yes, sir. Seeing that Luo Meng had already guessed the answer, Fafer simply said his thoughts: "Our navy used to be very powerful, but in the battle between humans and elves, you contributed to the Temple of the Earth Goddess, and the fleet commanded by the Temple of the Earth Goddess was completely wiped out on the battlefield, although the Temple later gave you a lot of compensation, a naval fleet can not be trained with gold coins alone." We only have three warships now, and although the size and function of the warships are much more powerful than the previous fleets, there are still too few holy ships. ”
Speaking of this, Fafer sighed: "Although I am not mainly responsible for the sea, after all, the general defense of the territory is still under my control, I can't look at such a big loophole and not say it, in this way, it is very unfavorable to the defense of the territory." Romon listened and patted Farfer on the shoulder.
"Actually, I've thought about what you said, but I've been busy with other things before, so I've put it off. In this case, we will immediately start preparing for the new ship, and as soon as the new warships are built, we will really train the new navy, what do you think?"
"Well, good, but the size of the new warships ......" Gufer thought for a while, and said: "At least, it shouldn't be worse than the previous three, now, we can't just ask for quantity, the number of warships is too much, it doesn't make much sense, it's better to control the number within an acceptable range, and focus on improving the quality of warships and the combat effectiveness of the navy." ”
"I agree with Fafer, the last time we created the Fifth Fleet, it was because of the size of the Fifth Fleet that we had to give up in the end to avoid trouble. Nowadays, although our strength has been greatly improved than before, but after all, you are an emerging aristocrat, the foundation is not as good as those old aristocratic spikes, those old aristocratic families, when the first business was established, all of them are seeking stability and seeking a solid foundation, only in this way, will not let the new house collapse in the wind, step by step to seek stability, is the way to start a business. After listening to Fafel's analysis, Nick immediately agreed.
The words of the two good friends, Luo Meng naturally understood, and he nodded: "Then, let's build two more warships, five warships, if trained properly, it is enough to defeat one enemy five or ten." Although this is an exaggeration, it is not too far off.
It's just that in Luo Meng's heart, he is not just building two, he is ready to maintain the launching degree of two ships a year, until he has ten warships. As for the question of foundation and identity, since he became a legend, it is not an obstacle.
In this way, the three giants of the Tertashaw Domain, in a spacious carriage, made a decision that was very important for securing the territory and defending the territory. For the next few days, Romon would go to the docks every day to watch the expansion of the Mage Tower.
I have to say that the officials cultivated by the Tetashaw Collar are quite qualified, and with the supervision of the lord, the progress is quite fast.
On this day, Romon came to watch again, but this time, he also brought a person.
It was Silord, who he had taken back.
Having dealt with this matter, he hid some time and began to be able to move.
Yunren is now only a boatswain, but with his talent, as long as Romon does not deliberately suppress it, he rises quickly.
This time, I happened to meet it, and Romon watched it together.
"Silod, what do you think, how about this mage tower?" Seeing that Silod had been looking in the direction of the mage tower, Luo Meng asked with a smile.
"It's very practical, if it weren't for this mage tower in the first place, maybe the Red Skull Pirates wouldn't have been known so easily by the people in the harbor, right?" Silord said.
"Well, you're right, this mage tower is very important and practical, and in order to make it more practical, it is worth spending as many gold coins as you want to expand it. Romon laughs and says, "Now, we're going to make it even more practical." ”
"You're really not like the average nobleman. Sensing a certain aura from Romon, Silod turned around, and his gaze couldn't help but shift from the Mage Tower to Romon's body. "Seriously, although I have seen many nobles with wisdom, it is a compliment to be able to take money as a whole, but Romon shook his head and did not speak. First of all, he doesn't seem to value money, doesn't he like it?
He doesn't take it lightly, it's because the wealth he has is enough for him to do something, and the part he spends is a very small part at all, so he is so confident. Secondly, no matter how smart this guy is, he is also a low-level person in the end, and his vision is not wide. Expanding the Mage Tower, many people have this wealth, but why don't they do it? It's because of the royal family and the mage union. Neither the royal family nor the mage guild allowed the nobles to build and expand the mage tower at will. Romon also became a legend, so he did this. "I'm not as detached as you think, I do this just because it can bring me more benefits, several times or even more than ten times or dozens of times. "Why don't you do such a lucrative business?" Silorde nodded after listening, his current master is an ambitious man, and that is enough
"Okay, today is the day when the battleship is launched first, let's go over first, after a while, the others will also understand, Shakat is the commander-in-chief of the battleship, you will give him a hand in the future, between you, you have to communicate more. Romon said as he walked away with Silorde.
Shakat is a qualified governor, and Silord is a qualified think-tank-type person, if he and Shakat can cooperate, then this new fleet will definitely become very powerful. Of course, this will have to wait for Silord, who will climb up from the boatswain position himself.
After a while, they came to the stands, and sure enough, there were already people coming. Shakat also came over, and Romon asked him to be with Silord to exchange experiences. Romon himself walked up to Nick and Fafer and whispered.
After a while, two new warships, both of which were of excellent quality and scale, were launched under the gaze of everyone, and from then on, the number of warships in the navy expanded from three to five.
Thanks to the design of the new type of battleship, which was already not inferior to the previous fifteen, the naval forces of Romon were again organized.
"Wan Sheng!" Seeing this scene, many people cheered.
Almost at the same time, a mage entered a mage tower.
The mage hurried through the hallway to a room at the end of a passageway.
The mage stepped forward and knocked softly on the door, and a male voice came out, "Come in."
Pushing open the door, the mage lowered his head, took out an envelope with body temperature, and held it in both hands.
"What's the matter?" the male voice didn't answer, just asked.
The mage looked up, and in the brightly lit room illuminated by the magic lamp, a well-aged mage was sitting at his desk reviewing papers, without even hanging his head.
But this mage didn't dare to be a little slack, and replied respectfully: "Master Luxidi, it's a message from the Mage Tower of Apus City. ”
"Oh, you tear it down, read it to me!" continued Russidy, who was annotating the papers.
"Yes, Master Rusidi. ”
The mage then tore it open, took out the letterhead, and read it.
"What? Yuanfan Harbor expanded the Mage Tower without asking the Mage Guild for approval?"
Hearing this news, Lu Xidi rarely raised his head and thought thoughtfully.
"Any other news?"
"It is said that at the same time, two warships were launched. ”
"Count Tetasho, have you been very high-profile lately?Nineteenth level druid, patron of Ixidis, president of the New Druid Guild...... It's funny. Russidy muttered. “...... Your Excellency, what are your instructions?" Seeing that Lusidi was slow to speak, the mage asked, "Well, what is the scale of the expansion of the mage tower?" "According to the on-site detection, it is a medium-sized mage tower!" "Is the medium-sized mage tower? is that interesting...... Put it aside for now. Rusidi said calmly, lowered his head again, and began to work on the papers. "Your Excellency?" the mage couldn't help but be surprised.
It is some unspoken rule of the mage union to prohibit nobles from privately building medium-sized and above mage towers, why is this the reaction now?"Do you have any doubts about my orders?" Lu Xidi raised his head again and asked coldly, "No, of course not, I will convey your order!" The mage was shocked and immediately lowered.
