The Skyfish and two other merchant ships slowly left the dock of Little Wolf Castle, carrying Renault and his party upstream, and finally arrived at Black Iron Town after more than ten days of sailing. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

On the way back, he didn't encounter the Luna Cult to rob, and Wei Wei and Miley were also promoted to the third order at the same time.

But fortunately, the demon god favored the two of them safe and sound, and the strong temptation of the female awakened person in the face of promotion naturally had several times more self-control than the man, which made Renault breathe a long sigh of relief.

Once Wei Wei unfolded the demon spirit after promotion, a black bracelet appeared in her right hand, and the fusion speed more than doubled compared to before.

Miley's demon spirit entity is the dry hands, like putting a pair of terrifying gloves on her, how much more power is it Renault didn't dare to let her try, he was worried that if the boat was torn in half, everyone would have to go into the water to swim.

As for himself, he decided to go back to Black Iron Town, and it was obviously not wise for his ability to be promoted on a wooden ship, and if it didn't happen, it would end in the destruction of the ship.

The most depressed thing in the past ten days is Yuxi, Renault didn't see where her figure was at all, she didn't appear in front of him once, she was probably stunned somewhere on the ship, she had nothing to eat every day, and she was probably going to be hungry.

The news of Little Wolf Castle had already flown back, and the people of Black Iron Town celebrated happily for a day.

When the Skyfish arrived, the dock was full of people who came to greet Renault, as if it was a holiday, the most excited was the blacksmith Fei Lie, he didn't care about Renault having an extra territory, he was happy that Vivi was finally back, and the machine shop could start.

At this time, he saw that Weiwei was closer than seeing Miley, and when he came up, he couldn't help but shush and ask for warmth, and Renaud couldn't help but wonder who was his real daughter.

"Lord Renault, you're back. ”

After more than twenty days of not seeing each other, Anna was still quite slender, but she seemed to be in good spirits, and it seemed that although she was busy, she was kept busy.

"Thank you for your hard work, I brought you a gift. Renault said.

Seeing Charlotte holding her ears enviously on the side, he couldn't help laughing, "Little ghost, you also have a share." ”

Renaud called Charlotte to the bed and showed her a huge gold chest for Charlotte to see, Charlotte looked curious, "What is this?"

She knew that Renault had never been such a pompous style, and after a little thought, she wrinkled her little face dissatisfiedly, "Where is the gift for me, it was obviously received from Wolfe......"

"Ahem. "This little girl is amazing.

Charlotte curiously lifted a crack and covered it again in an instant, and then sat down on the box and asked nervously, "Is this ...... This is for me?"

"What's the matter, isn't it just a work of art?

"A work of art?" Charlotte glared at him with a layman's expression, "Lord Renault, do you know what you're talking about! ”

When Renault heard this, he said that this bull head really had a doorway, and immediately motioned for her not to say anything yet, and then called the Black Iron Army to secretly carry the box to Charlotte's laboratory.

"And this. ”

He threw another bag of blue stone powder to Charlotte to see if she could use it, and if she used it as a bomb, even he wouldn't be able to afford it.

At this time, he also noticed that after only walking for more than 20 days, the number of the Black Iron Army had increased a lot, and after asking, he learned that most of the old guards had been transformed.

"But that's the limit. Charlotte said, "First of all, the loyalty of the new escort army needs to be tested, it has not been honed by the battlefield, and its willpower is also poor, and if it continues to increase the agility of people, it is inevitable that it will not be so strict in the selection of people, and there will likely be examples of failure." Moreover, the current resources of Black Iron Town can't afford to support too many mutant soldiers. ”

"Well, let's focus on those who have been wounded on the battlefield, who are physically incapacitated, and who are hungry for change. ”

Charlotte smiled at him, "That's what I planned, and myself, why the same mutation, but different from theirs, I want to explore this secret now." ”

"You can study, but you can't risk yourself. ”

Momiji is going well in the Tuke Basin, and the conscription plan should be on the agenda soon.

"Where's Hailei?"

Looking around and seeing no shadow of Hailei, Renault couldn't help but ask. Her ability is a treasure, and he can't help but pay attention to it.

"On the farm outside. ”

Renault was stunned: "When did we have a farm?"

It turned out that the man sent by Renault to the south to collect rubber had returned, and brought back many seeds that had never been seen before, and Hailei, who had grown up in the north, was suddenly so curious that she begged Anna to open a wasteland outside of Black Iron Town, saying that she wanted to see what these plants looked like.

"Nonsense, where is there any fertile land in Black Iron Town?"

Anna pursed her lips and smiled: "Don't worry, I transferred a hundred guards to help fertilize and water." ”

Well, Helei is going to farm, and he's going to have to start farming too.

Back at the town hall, he didn't have to rest at all, so he gathered everyone together and began to make plans.

There are three things that matter most at the moment.

The first is shipbuilding, and the weapons that accompany it - smoothbore guns.

The second is to train talents, such as mayors, accountants, sheriffs, captains, and a large number of guards. Little Wolf Castle will definitely not be able to rely on ten black iron troops, and there are also guards and crew members on merchant ships.

The third is to build steam locomotives and build railroads, which is a relatively long-term plan.

As for solving the problem of grain, now that we are in control of Little Wolf Castle, it is not a problem to buy sorghum from the north or wheat from the south, the cost is a little higher, and the crisis can be solved at present.

The grain in the Tuke Basin will have to wait until at least next year, and he does not plan to sell it at all, considering the war that will occur in the future, he also wants to buy a large amount of grain to collect, anyway, he will not worry about much.

In fact, among these three things, talent training is the most troublesome.

The sheriff and captain could be chosen from among the guards, but for the more important and sensitive positions such as mayor and accountant, Renault felt that it was more appropriate to choose from his own people.

So he set his sights on the orphans he had adopted last winter.

In this era, they reached adulthood at the age of 16, and of the more than 100 children, one-third of them were close to adulthood, and they had received a cramming cultural education for more than half a year, barely able to read documents.

So he selected thirty older and more flexible ones to come out, recalled Badge from the Tuke Basin, and asked him and Charlotte to conduct assault training on them, hoping to use them as soon as possible.

He doesn't need any top talent, he doesn't need them to be very talented, he just needs to be able to write, read, count and remember, he needs all kinds of small parts in a huge machine to keep the system running.

As for the escort army, it will be necessary to wait for the red leaves to straighten out the Tuke Basin before they can send a large number of recruits.

Railways and steam locomotives, which have a high technical content and a long construction period, are a little slow due to the rain, and the progress of laying the roadbed is a little slow, and it is only now that it has started, and it will also have to wait for a large number of laborers to be sent over by the red leaves.
