Seeing that Savan's face was a little unkind, Celia closed her mouth in amusement, and everyone hurried towards the castle. As the team approached the castle, a large number of houses began to appear in front of them, most of them rudimentary, but several times more numerous than when Savin had left.

The streets are bustling with people, people dressed in different costumes, and naughty children frolicking on the road. Savin and the others had to slow down, and the people in the street were too frightened to speak at the sight of a heavily armed army, and they hid on both sides of the road, looking at the knights with curiosity.

A large number of tenant farmers and craftsmen came to Haydonnes from far and wide, and it attracted many low-class workers because of their low taxes and the certainty of finding work if they were willing to come. They had never seen an army of this size since they had been here, and the only they could see was ordinary soldiers who were responsible for maintaining law and order.

The bustling streets suddenly became quiet, and Savin felt a little awkward, and although he wanted to tell everyone not to be afraid, and to do what they should do, he also knew that even if he said it, it would not help. Therefore, Sawan only had to tell everyone to speed up and pass through here as soon as possible.

Finally arriving at the lord's residence, everyone turned over and dismounted with Savin and Seria. In the past, the lord's house was nothing more than a row of wooden houses, but as the population grew, it was clear that such houses could no longer be used. So Larry ordered a separate piece of land to be built into a large mansion to be used as the lord's residence and office.

Selia led Sawan into the Lord's Palace, and the guards guarding the door had already gone to report to Larry, who had just entered the gate when he saw Larry greeted him with a smile on his face.

"Haha, long time no see, Samhain. Larry said happily.

Sawan was also happy to see Larry, and gave Larry a gentle punch, but still made Larry grin in pain. A few people greeted each other lively, talking and laughing as they walked into the house. Larry led Savin and Serena to a reception room, where tea and snacks were brought immediately.

Larry smiled and asked, "Why did you come all of a sudden and didn't notify me, so I could go and meet you." ”

Savin said: "Why do we have to be courteous between us, I also decided to come on the impromptu side. ”

A few people laughed and talked about the current situation, Larry introduced: "Now Haydonnis has a population of tens of thousands, and the army has a thousand people, especially after the arrival of dwarven craftsmen, these handicrafts have increased a lot, and some merchants have begun to come here to do business. ”

Sawin asked, "How is the port being prepared?"

Larry replied, "The dwarven builder hired by Voss has completed the survey and the blueprints have been drawn, and I was going to invite you to the groundbreaking ceremony." ”

Sawin nodded in satisfaction with Larry's work, and then asked, "Where did you choose the location of the port?"

Larry stood up and took a large roll of drawings, spread them out on the table, and pointed out to Sawin the drawings with his hands, which were the location of a bay, shaped like a horseshoe. "Master Dwarves said it was a natural deep-water bay and the best location to build a harbor. ”

"When are you going to start construction?" asked Savin.

"I was going to invite you, but now that you are here yourself, you can officially start work in a few days. Larry said.

"Great, I've come to the right place. Sawan said happily that he had put a lot of thought into the port, and that construction was finally about to begin. The port is the most important part of the revitalization of Hydonnice, without which Hydonis is just a poor country, but if the sea route is opened, it may become the most lively and prosperous place.

As soon as he talked about the port, Sahain remembered the castle, and the original plan was to demolish the castle and use the castle stone to build the port, but now the castle has only demolished the surrounding towers, and the main body still remains the same. Sawan asked Larry in a serious tone, "Why hasn't the castle been demolished yet, is there any reason?"

Larry heard a slight reproach in Savin's tone, so he suppressed his smile and replied very seriously: "The original plan was indeed to be demolished, but when the dwarven master came, he said that he would not need so many stones, but more wood, so he had to transfer the labor to destroy the castle to cut wood." ”

Hearing this, Savin nodded and said, "In that case, then listen to the dwarven master, but this castle is always a bit of an eyesore to stay there, and it will have to be demolished when there are extra manpower." If the port doesn't need that much stone, it might as well be used to build something else, such as ...... For example, libraries, colleges. ”

Sawan originally just said it casually, but he didn't expect Larry to be very impressed by Sawin's proposal, he patted his thigh and said excitedly: "Yes, why didn't I think of it! During this time, I felt that there was a shortage of talents, especially knowledgeable people, and if there was an academy and a library, it would definitely attract talents." ”

The two chatted for a while, and Sawin asked Larry, "What is the most lacking right now? money or supplies?"

Larry shook his head and said: "The most scarce thing is labor, although there are tens of thousands of people here, but the labor that can be recruited is still very limited, especially after the port starts, a large number of labor is needed." The remuneration we offer is not low, but after all, it is still too remote to attract a large number of people in a short period of time. ”

Sawin frowned and thought for a while, this problem was indeed difficult to solve, and he couldn't think of a better way for a while. At this time, Celia muttered, "If you are the king, you can directly transfer people from all over the country to work." ”

"What did you say?" asked Savin and Larry at the same time.

"I mean, if you're the king, you can just muster your labor!" said Selia in a loud voice.

Savin's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said happily, "You're right! ”

Seliya's reminder opened Savin's mind, and now he has a lot of power, so he doesn't need to use it! What kind of laborers are recruited, just order the mobilization, Celiya is very well awakened.

Sawin was happy, hugged Selia into his arms, patted her on the back, and said excitedly: "I didn't expect you to be so brainy!"

"Are you praising me or scolding me?" said Celia angrily.

Over the next few days, Sawan took Celia and the Knights on a tour of Hydonnice, during which time he made a special trip to the place where the port was to be built. Looking at the vast blue ocean, Sawin suddenly remembered his family, and wondered what was going on with them, and if they knew what they were doing now, they would all be shocked......

Back at Haydonis, Sawan suddenly had another thought, now this place is lively, but it seems to be chaotic, and considering the future commercial development, I am afraid that a city will have to be built. Since he wants to use the power in his hands to mobilize labor, he simply repairs the city by the way, and one sheep is to drive two sheep and let them go!

Sawan told Larry his idea, and Larry naturally didn't have any opinions, and the matter was settled, and it happened that the dwarven builder was there, so he must be happy to let him design a city.

So Sawan began to write letters, one to the Duke of Amberton, asking him to order the mobilization of labor, and another to Hortz, telling him that he was to stay in Haydonnice for a while, and that Teitor would be handed over to Hortz.

Finally, on the day when the construction of the port officially began, Savin led the people to the scheduled construction site, and the dwarven craftsmen were also present, in addition to many other people, who also came to see the excitement. Sawan spoke as lord before being guided by Larry and Voss to a small knoll.

Larry said with a little excitement, "Please dig the first shovel of earth for the harbor!" and as he said he handed a shovel to Savan.

Savin's mood was also a little excited, and he took the shovel and shoveled it into the dirt with all his might......
