Behind Marven is a complete map of the White River Valley. ^_^ Read, book, first, send, please, arrive ^_^

The map was left behind by Marven's grandfather and perfected by Marven's father, but in Marven's generation, no territory survey was carried out again.

This map, at best, is a sketch.

After all, the White River Valley has expanded at least twice as much.

Directly from the mines in the north to the White River in the south, from the junction with Riverbeach City to the coast.

Marven made up his mind that when today's meeting was over, he would immediately go to Riverbeach City to find two cartographers to draw a detailed map of the White River Valley.

But for now, it's just going to be used.

Daniela is not stage frightened at all, and seems to really think of herself as Marven's fiancée.

She walked to Marven's location, pointed to the coastline on the map, and said:

"You're going to build a port here?"

Marven nodded: "That's true." ”

"It's better to go further south."

Her slender fingers went down the shoreline, and pointed to the mouth of the White River.

"It is the best place to build a port in this place. Outwards you can develop maritime trade, and inward, as far as I know, the inland rivers of your south are also very deep. ”

"I went to the White River when I was bored a few days ago, and the ⊥ of the river was open, and the river was very gentle, but the water was very deep, and many sea boats drove up."

"If you build a port here, and then restore the former abandoned dock, you can completely open up the east and west directions of your territory."

Daniela talked.

Marven nodded and said, "That's what I planned to do at the beginning. ”

"However, the geology of the estuary of the White River Valley is very poor. Very unsuitable for the creation of a port. Because of the river, it was very difficult to build a city on that land. Not to mention. It's closer to the wilderness there. ”

Daniela said confidently, "That's a problem for me. ”

"Isn't it just that the soil is softer, as long as you can rest assured that I will do it. Half a year later, you'll definitely see a brand new port! ”

Everyone was skeptical of Daniela's words.

Only the alchemist who came to join in the fun suddenly said, "Steel powder? ”

Daniela looked at the alchemist with some surprise: "Yes, there are people in such a rural place who know [Steel Stone Powder]. ”

The corners of Marven's mouth twitched slightly.

It's as if I don't know about steel powder. It's just that the price and channels of that thing are unaffordable in the current White River Valley, right?

But he thought about it carefully, and Daniela made sense.

The mouth of the White River is indeed a very important strategic location. If you can occupy this place, it is very convenient not only to the outside but also to the inside.

He pondered for a moment: "What if I want you to build the port in three months?" ”

Daniela shrugged: "The budget is going to be tripled." ”

Marven nodded, Daniela's estimation ability is still very strong. Build a brand new port. It requires a lot of manpower and material resources, and it requires a lot of money.

Once the port is set up, you'll also need enough ships.

At present, Marvin only has one stolen Nanfang, which Marvin sent to deal with them as early as after the end of the war.

Most of the slaves chose to leave on their own, and a few who remained, Marvin let them live in the eastern part of the White River Valley, near the new port.

They could become the first inhabitants of the new port. The South, on the other hand, was silently docked on the beach. The first phase of renovation work was started.

Engineers from Riverbeach City have begun a complete renovation of the South.

The renovation period will take about a month, and when it is complete, the South will be a completely different ship - at least physically. Even if the Taurus Chamber of Commerce wanted to say anything, it couldn't do it. Because once he and Marven are torn apart, Marven can accuse them of engaging in the private slave trade.

The Southern Wizards Alliance does not explicitly prohibit the slave trade, but it is required to have a license. Obviously, the South does not have such a license yet. So they could only disguise themselves as merchant ships and secretly transport slaves. Anyway, the current Marven is not as kneaded as he was at the beginning. White River Valley. has gradually developed stronger, and he is not afraid that he will come to the door of the Taurus Chamber of Commerce.

……

In the following time, Marven took the initiative to sit next to him, and Daniela became the protagonist of the meeting.

Every point made by Marven has been refined.

The northern mine will continue to operate. According to the information left by Marven's father, there is not only a deep iron ore vein in the northern mine, but there may also be other associated ore veins.

However, due to the lack of economy in the White River Valley, there has been a shortage of miners.

Daniela's opinion on this is the purchase of slaves. And it's bought in large quantities.

"It takes manpower to build a territory. The cost of a slave is one-fifth that of a freedman, and although their lifespan is a little shorter, the benefits are much higher than that of hired miners. Daniela said calmly: "I don't know anything about the market in the south, but in the northland, this is our common practice. ”

"If you want to leave a benevolent reputation, it's simple to give these slaves the promise that after three years of hard work, they will automatically become free."

"Most people just need to give them a little hope and they will work hard for you."

"It's different from the slaves you freed before. The slaves on that ship were Southerners, and most of them were children and women, and you promised them freedom. The slaves you need to buy are young, strong men. There were frequent wars between the northern city-states, and many were defeated and captured and enslaved. I know of a place that is the best place to buy these slaves. ”

Before Daniela could finish speaking, Marven had already added lightly: "Perch Harbor." ”

The former nodded approvingly: "It seems that you, the lord, are not in vain." ”

Marven sighed. As a man with a higher civilization, he was indeed very resistant to slavery.

But now this situation, if not according to Daniela's approach. It's true that there's no way to build a territory quickly.

He was not a sage and could not help everyone. As Daniela said. He really needed a group of young, strong, and obedient slaves.

……

After talking about the northern mines and the new port, next. Daniela looked south.

I have to say that although she has been in the White River Valley for a short time, she has basically learned everything about the territory.

To the south of the White River, there is a very fertile land, but there will be more monsters to harass the inhabitants.

With the manpower of the garrison, there is no way to clean up all these monsters.

But Daniela suggested another way.

Build an Adventurer's Camp.

To the west south of the White River, near Riverbeach City, set up an adventurer's camp.

Here, build a village-like place. For adventurers to rest, resupply, and repair weapons...... There is also the desire to vent.

This idea has been brewing in Marven's mind for a long time, but Daniela was able to come up with it in such a short time, and it has to be said that the future Ice Queen does have the ability to govern a country.

Regarding how to build the specific facilities of the adventurer's camp, Marven also had a plan in mind.

The plan is also very simple: ask for it from the river beach city.

Anyway, Medirli and his deal were still going on, and Marven had to grit her teeth and say yes to any request he made to Riverbeach City now.

If you don't take advantage of the fire to rob and squeeze it now, do you have to wait for her to be promoted to a legend before asking for it?

……

As Daniela envisioned, once the adventurer's camp was established, it was completed. You can effectively settle the adventurers who were previously attracted by the Wild Frontier Order.

They can start exploring south. It's a wild place, but once the popularity gathers, it will gradually expel the wilderness.

Marven can appropriately issue some monster hunting orders, so that the bounty hunters who come here to hunt monsters will be like carp crossing the river. Steady stream.

Moreover, there are indeed many monsters in the south of the White River, and killing them will make the adventurer himself a windfall.

It will become the southernmost adventurer's paradise on the mainland.

……

Besides. The recruitment of rangers and sentinels is also on Daniela's agenda.

Because in her vision, such a vast territory. Adequate defense mechanisms must be put in place. Otherwise, it's too easy for the enemy to infiltrate.

"Here, here. And here, here is the most crucial...... Be sure to build watchtowers. ”

Daniela's fingertips pointed to the top of Ogre Mountain.

As she says, it's in a great location, overlooking the entire White River Valley. To the north, you can see the location of the Spider Crypt, to the south you can see the future adventurer's camp, to the east you can see the riverbeach city, and to the west you can see the new port.

This place must have been set up with a daily sentry on duty.

As for the other places that Daniela refers to, they are also crucial.

Marven looked at Daniela with more and more appreciation.

This girl, although she is younger than herself, has a terrible strategic vision.

"Now, do you believe me?"

She blinked and looked at Marven, "I'm a woman who can draw architectural drawings at the age of four." ”

Marven finally made a decision: "Okay, the overall design plan is up to you to improve." ”

It was at this time that the rest of the people finally couldn't sit still.

Seeing Marvin and Daniela coming and going for a long time, Anna and Pooh couldn't help but ask:

"Young Master Marven (brother), you have said so much, but what about the money?"

Marven and Daniela glanced at each other and responded very tacitly:

"Borrow!"

……

Borrowing money, borrowing money like crazy, this is the most important reason why Marven wants to attack the Ogre Mountain.

With this gold mine, he used it as a fulcrum and borrowed money everywhere.

Inside the Wizard's Tower outside Riverbeach.

Medirli looked at a list that Marven had recently sent over with a grim face.

It lists a large number of material and manpower needs.

there are still a dozen prostitutes with such strange needs!

What made her even more mad was that at the end of the list, there were 2,000 Wizard Gold Coins!

"Do you really want to drain me?" Medirri pinched the list tightly.

But in the next second, her face looked a little better.

"It turned out to be borrowed, half a year?"

She hesitated for a moment, but finally approved all of Marven's requests.

The same scene took place at the headquarters of the Southern Wizarding Alliance.

It's just that this borrowing demand has been increased to 10,000 wizard gold coins!

…… (To be continued......)

ps: The update is sent ~ Marven is going to be in debt, do you want to support a little?
