Chapter 60: Set sail back to the island

Henry got up from the bed and began to get dressed. When she opened her eyes, she found her husband dressed and standing in front of the window, and she tried to sit up, but the pain in her lower body caused her to fall on the bed.

Henry turned to his wife and smiled and said, "Okay dear, according to my estimation you won't be able to get out of bed today." Rest now, we'll be back to the territory in two days. ”

Shi Kodi brushed her hair back, blushed slightly, and said, "Don't worry, I can go back by boat with you at any time." And there was a merchant ship called the Countess in the harbor, which carried all my dowry. ”

Henry went over and kissed Sycodi, and said, "I'll take your Countess with me when I set sail, and now you can sleep well for as long as you slept last night." With that, he walked out of the room and closed the door.

Sitting in bed after seeing her husband leave, Poeti thought that things were much better than she had expected, that at least she hadn't married an old and ugly businessman like her sister. I heard that she is not doing well now, and that she has begun to become debauched because her husband has not been able to meet her needs for a long time. Thinking of this, Shikoudi thought of the crazy face of her husband last night, and it didn't take long for her to fall asleep with a smile on her face. For a young girl, last night's exercise seemed a little intense.

Henry walked down the stairs to find his mother and the others sitting at the table, smiling at him. Lily looked at her son and said, "Henry wishes you a happy new marriage, and Silky will be a good wife." ”

Henry walked to the table and pulled out a chair and sat down: "Xie Lu Xie mother, I have decided to return to the territory in a few days." If you still need anything, buy some as soon as possible these days, otherwise it will take about half a month to go back and forth after leaving. ”

The mother nodded: "I'll make a list in the afternoon and let the housekeeper buy it." "Your Excellency, your lunch and soup." The butler came over with a tray and placed the food in front of Henry.

As he ate, Henry said to Hawke, who was smoking, "How's our recruitment plan going?" ”

The old captain exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "Quite well, I have hired a few bards to adapt your deeds into a story to be sung near the taverns of the city. Then advertise your territory, the land is fertile, the climate is pleasant, and most importantly, there are no man-eating monsters. Now that we've recruited more than 3,000 people, and with the rewards from the council, we've got nearly 10,000 people to fill the newly built city. ”

"That's for the best, in fact, our Emerald Isle and Hart Island can support more than a million people. We're going to have to keep bringing in people for quite some time. In addition, Silky said that she had a Duchess in the harbor full of her dowry, and that I would like you to go and receive it with you. Henry took a sip of the soup as he spoke, and suddenly he fished out the genitals of some kind of male animal from the soup.

"Butler! What's up with this soup? How could there be such a thing in it? Henry asked the butler.

The butler came over and bowed and replied, "Earl, this is the soup that all aristocratic families drink exclusively for newlywed men. It is said to increase male fertility and give birth to qualified heirs for the family as soon as possible. ”

Henry patted his head and suddenly felt sick to his stomach, and he said to the butler: "Don't give me this kind of thing anymore, if you have special food in the future, it's better to show me the ingredients before making it." ”

The butler nodded and replied meticulously, "Obey the Earl." After lunch, Henry began to deal with various things. This includes buying some cloth, carpets, clothing, and daily necessities, and then sending someone to the Flame Fist headquarters to inform Scar's departure date. A few days quickly passed in a hectic way.

On the morning of the third day, Henry boarded his great ship with his new wife, relatives, and friends, accompanied by Scar, the commander of Flame Fist. Anta. Duke Silvershield and Jarsyl, the leader of the Seven Suns Alliance, personally came to the port to see him off.

The Duke stood on the shore and said to Henry, "Your Excellency the Earl, I wish you a good journey, and remember that I will personally visit your domain next year to see the spices." ”

Henry waved his hand and said, "I look forward to your arrival, rest assured that I will have enough spices ready for you to load on the ship." ”

After the Duke had left, Jarsel stepped up to the deck and said to Henry, "Your Excellency, next month my fleet will go to your domain to get salt. It is hoped that there will be enough supply at that time. ”

Henry smiled and said, "Don't worry, my friend, the yield will definitely surprise you." ”

After bidding farewell to all those who saw him off, he said to Hawke, "Admiral! It's time for us to go home. ”

The old captain shouted with a smile: "Everyone prepare! Depart from Hong Kong and set sail. With a command, the sailors began to get busy, and soon the ships left the harbor and slowly sailed out to sea. Henry's two ships were followed by a dozen merchant ships, all of which were carrying a number of people to settle on the island.

After entering the deep sea, Henry said to Scar, "We will sail for about ten days to reach the territory, and if you have nothing to do, you can walk around on deck and fish." When you are tired, go to the cabin and sleep for a while, knowing that sailing on the sea is a very boring thing. ”

Skar looked at the sea and said, "Thank you for the reminder, I'll adjust myself, don't worry." With that, he went to the stern of the ship and began to ask the sailors about the voyage at sea. Seeing that nothing was going on, Henry took his wife to the bow of the boat and watched the seabirds flying around and the occasional dolphin leaping out of the water. Poetic, who was going to sea for the first time, was very excited, running around with Lina like a little girl, curious about everything. Because there were still many merchant ships behind him, Hawke took the method of sailing during the day and stopping the ship to rest at night, and drove for half a month along the way before arriving at the Angome Islands.

Seeing two huge islands for the first time, Sycodi's eyes widened in surprise and she said to her husband, "Oh my God! You've never told me your island is so big and that it's two. It's a continent. ”

"Well, this will be our home from now on." After speaking, Henry smiled, he thought to himself, when he was on earth, the island of Taiwan was only 36,000 square kilometers, and his two islands together exceeded 50,000 square kilometers, and there would be no problem in establishing a kingdom in the future. After landing, my sister quickly rushed out of the lake and yelled, but her mother quickly chased after her and grabbed her. When Henry got to the dock, he saw that the whole port city was already a little rudimentary.

Robert came up to him and said, "Master, our sewer system is completely complete. Now it is time to start building houses and walls on a large scale. ”

Cagan also came over and said, "I'm going straight to the blast furnace, if there's anything going there to find me." ”

Henry nodded to Cagan and said, "Go ahead, make the steel into weapons, armor, and farming tools." Forge 2 to 2 to 6 first. ”

Cagan didn't look back and said, "I know the way!" Just give it to me there. ”

Henry turned to Robert and said, "Now hand over your work to Hawke." I now want you to start preparing for the territory's underground intelligence agency, which will be responsible for keeping the entire territory under surveillance. If you find that there are other forces that are starting to infiltrate, you will uproot me, and if the other force is strong, you will come to me directly. ”

When the young thief heard this, his eyes lit up and he said to Henry, "Don't worry, master, I will do this well." Henry handed him a large bag of gold coins and patted him on the shoulder, and Robert turned away with the money to form his underground guild.

After taking a look at the island, Scar's came over to Henry and said, "Your Excellency, your territory is really large enough, when will the inhabitants of the ship come ashore?" ”

Henry looked at the slaves who were building houses and said, "You can land now, but now they can only settle down as ordinary workers when the city is built." Of course, I will pay them the price of Baldur's Gate. ”

Shika thought about it for a moment and said, "No problem, I'll take care of pacifying these people." I took my leave as soon as I had brought them ashore, and the council was waiting for me to report back on the route. ”

Henry nodded and said: "Now that the facilities on the island are still very incomplete, I won't keep you, I hope you can come back for a few days after the construction is completed." ”

Shika nodded and turned to the merchant ship parked at the berth and shouted, "Now everyone line up and disembark." "More than 10,000 people with their families have walked onto Hart Island, with a little bit of hope on their faces. Subsequently, these people were assigned to various construction sites as families and began to build their own cities. Henry put his wife, mother, and sister in the largest house for the time being, and then began to ask Hawke to send a group of slaves to leave the port and go to the countryside to open up villages for agricultural production. Henry himself and his four thousand new inhabitants came to the Emerald Isle, established several settlements, cleared a large forest around the lake, and began to grow pepper, nutmeg, and ginger. He then began to use the druid's abilities to spawn these plants and get them to begin to bear fruit.

In the days that followed, he selected a dozen children from among the underage slaves as druid apprentices, and created a small village in the valley of the Emerald Isle for them to live and study. A month later, Jarsyl's ship arrived in the yet-to-be-built city, and Henry had Amy take the Dimension Bag with fifty tons of salt that had just been produced and sent to the warehouse.

The captain of the captain ordered the sailors to put all the salt into wooden barrels and carry them back to the ship, and he took out a few golden tickets and said to Henry: "Your Excellency, these are the gold coins settled last month, please accept them, and we have sold half of the thirty tons of refined salt, which is a total of 500,000 gold coins, and according to the contract, the taxes are removed, and these 200,000 gold coins are your reward." ”

Henry took the golden ticket and said to him, "Thank you, thank you, when you go back, say hello to Mr. Jasso, and help me ask when the craftsman will arrive." ”

The captain touched his beard and said, "I will definitely bring the news, and if there is nothing I will lead the fleet back to Baldur's Gate first." Henry nodded and said, "Then I wish you a smooth journey, and see you again." ”
