Stephanie leaned against the bedroom door, heard the door of the living room open and close, and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, she didn't know what she was expecting, but Wang Yong's departure made her feel a little lost in her heart.

Stephanie closed her eyes and thought back to the first time she saw Wang Yong, and then the next scene kept coming to mind. Although Stephanie and Wang Yong did not have much contact, and Wang Yong sometimes even forgot that she existed, Stephanie often saw Wang Yong in the cafeteria, but she did not go over to meet, but hid in the corner and silently watched this cheerful, optimistic, and unobtrusive, but deeply popular Wang Yong.

From the first time I saw Wang Yong eating in the cafeteria, somehow, Stephanie insisted on going to the canteen every day to have a look, even if she was not hungry, she would order some cheap vegetarian soup, just waiting for Wang Yong to appear, because he was very curious about Wang Yong, but what he was curious about, Stephanie didn't know, he just wanted to know everything about Wang Yong.

And at that time, Stephanie's heart was not empty, and she lived a very solid life with sustenance, but when she met Wang Yong, she did not show the emotions in her heart, until today, until Stephanie learned that she was leaving, Stephanie plucked up the courage to let Wang Yong know her mind.

Stephanie knew that there would be no outcome between them, but after much consideration, Stephanie decided to let go because she didn't want to leave with regrets, and she didn't want to touch the regrets she had endured without confessing.

When Ying Wu saw Wang Yong come out, she smiled and teased, "How is Stephanie's kiss?"

Wang Yong blushed and said, "You see, you have to help me prove that I am innocent." ”

Shadow Dance chuckled and said, "If you are cheap and good, I don't believe you don't have a good impression of Stephanie." ”

Wang Yong didn't answer, but changed the subject and said, "Light and sleepy?" Shadow Dance nodded.

Wang Yong took Shadow Dance's hand and whispered, "Let's go, I haven't been so relaxed for a long time." Shadow Dance tried to withdraw her hand, but struggled a few times to no avail. And at this time, everyone was resting, so they let Wang Yong hold his hand, bow his head and walk side by side with Wang Yong, strolling among the flowers and plants reflected by the bright moon.

Early the next morning, Wang Yong convened an administrative meeting of the Haibin Province, which was also attended by military representatives.

The content of the meeting was mainly aimed at recent investment and development, and the finance department allocated a large amount of money to buy or lease land and various mineral deposits from other empires as much as possible, and the land was mainly in the region where clay was produced, and the mineral deposits. It is dominated by spar ores, and of course, some other rare metals are also among them.

In response to the shortage of manpower on the seashore and the inability to mine land and mineral deposits after purchase, Wang Yong's decision was to have dwarves who are good at mining first go to the ore veins to survey and assess the amount of mining, and then hire local people to mine, and the coastal province only sent people to manage it. As for the clay sources, they are dug and packed by hired locals. It was then transferred back to the Coastal Province by the Coastal Logistics Department, while Donald's cement factory was relocated to the Duchy of Victoria, next to David's glass factory.

In addition, Wang Yong allocated 1 million gold coins to the Ministry of Commerce. Let Maury, Daisy, and Ruth send people to various countries to buy scarce materials, such as crystals, energy-depleted magic crystals, scrap iron, and various alchemy materials, etc., to replenish the inventory and ensure the follow-up construction and material reserves.

Wang Yong also ordered Kennedy to train a group of qualified managers as soon as possible. Prepare for the next series of changes. The construction department in charge of Brandt and Norman had the heaviest task, they had to complete all the scheduled buildings in the seaside province within six months, and then devote all their efforts to the construction of military bases and fortifications. Wang Yong wants to turn the coastal province into an iron bucket.

In addition, Luo Wen, the chief executive of the island, and Edgar, the chief executive of the fishing village (which is now the northern acropolis of the seaside city), worked together to build the port and shipyard on the coast in the shortest possible time, and Wang Yong did not specify the specific time, because it was the first time for everyone to do it, and there was no reference at all.

As for the dwarven arsenal, Wang Yong planned to only produce heavy equipment such as ballistae and trebuchets for the time being until more robust materials were developed, and Wang Yong also transferred a group of skilled carpenters and other craftsmen to Robert to manage to expand the scale of the military factory and the comprehensiveness of the products.

As for the R&D department of Reagan and others, it is said that some kind of research has entered a critical stage, so they did not come to this meeting.

And Wang Yong's request to the military is to send people to negotiate with the Eternal Empire as soon as possible about the ransom of the prisoners, make the Eternal Empire pay as much more deposits as possible, and let the intelligence personnel of the black hand in the Eternal Empire cooperate with the propaganda, so as to create public opinion pressure on the Eternal Empire, so that they have to pay for the ransom of the captured officers and soldiers.

Moreover, Wang Yong also asked for continued conscription, and after supplementing the battle damage, it will be expanded again, and Lane will be responsible. Moreover, Wang Yong also changed the original troop establishment, and each corps should not be less than 10,000 combat troops, which was recently reorganized and reorganized.

Wang Yong has not yet determined the direction of training and the allocation of troops, because Wang Yong intends to build the troops on the seashore into all-round troops, with cavalry on horseback, infantry on horseback, fortress when wearing heavy armor, and ranger when taking off heavy armor.

Although the idea was bold and unrealistic, with the help of the secret equipment of the Seaside Province, Ryan and other high-ranking generals were confident in the plan that made their blood boil.

However, after Phoebe's report, the plan to expand the army was still put on hold, because now the young adults in the seaside have either joined the army or have their own jobs, and there are not many idlers at home eating and waiting for death.

After inquiring about the price and racial composition of slaves in the Duchy of Morivido, Wang Yong decided to spend 500,000 gold coins to buy a large number of slaves to enrich the population of the coastal province, and specially instructed Mori to buy slaves mainly from foreign races, and try to help them find the whereabouts of their relatives and friends, so that they can settle in the seaside with peace of mind.

As for the treatment of these slaves, Wang Yong decided to return their freedom but not their status within two years, that is, after the slaves came to the coastal province, they could freely find work or choose to join the army, but the slave status was still retained. However, this is temporary, and after two years, if the slaves have not committed much of a fault and are able to meet the requirements of the seashore, then the seaside will be relieved of their slavery status and made them free people completely. Of course, they have to pay back the investment they put in when they buy them, which is a basic prerequisite for the restoration of freedom. (To be continued......)
