"Sir, I'm home."

The bay at night was so quiet that Annien stood on the deck and looked at the blurry island interestingly. In fact, it was a terrible thing to drive in the sea in the dark night, but because he knew he was about to arrive at Nabira at dusk, he rushed to the road overnight and finally arrived at the island in two hours in the future.

The brilliant stars and bright moonlight reflected in the water, and the sailors stopped busy on a simple pier. Since the pier was not so big, they had to pull all three big ships together and put them down the anchor.

"I don't have to go to the castle today. Let's spend the night here. Maybe, today you can lift the ban on drinking from you and your subordinates." Annin said to a knight. He was a small team leader sent by Reinstein at his request. Although he was the small team leader, because of his special army, he was also a knight-Knight Magpe, who brought 0 soldiers.

"Everything is as you wish." Magpe agreed, he was also a noble knight, and he didn't have to be too respectful to Anion, even if he was now assigned to Anion's command.

"Rubam, can you get a few fresh fish and shrimps now?" Annien shouted: "Today I ask the kitchen to take out everything, everyone can eat it happily, and it's already home!"

Rubham is now the commander-in-chief of the fleet, and it can be said that the waters are rising and the ship is rising - although he is only in charge of four ships at the moment. He looked at the moonlight and said confidently: "Sir, no problem!"

Annien got ashore first, and then he saw the two men coming to greet him on the dock. They were all guardians of the nearby docks. He respectfully invited the young master to a room on the ground.

"Oh, Master, there is nothing to entertain here." The guards were Oka, his son, and Oka's woman. Oka certainly knew his young master, so he said a little embarrassedly that the thatched house here was not even as narrow as the boat's narrow room.

"Oka, it doesn't matter. I'll take a night off and go back to the castle." Annin said softly. The middle-aged man in front of him, who was once a soldier of his father, came here with the former squadron leader, and was considered an old man with the qualifications.

"But, Master, wait a moment, I'll kill a pig for you right away." On the one hand, Oka guarded the dock, but on the other hand, he raised pigs nearby. He has two pigpens, each with ten pigs.

The thatched house was too simple, with only one table made by itself, and there were not even a piers, only a few woods. In order to avoid them feeling hard, Oka put two animal skins on the piers.

Annien and Magpe sat on the wooden pier, then he looked around and said, "Oka, you're so hard."

"It's okay, this is the dock that started to be built." Although Oka said so, the young master's greeting immediately made him feel warm. He hurried to the pigpen and killed a big fat pig, enough for everyone on the boat to get some, and put the pig blood in a pottery. At this moment, the chefs on the boat had arrived, and they were towering wooden racks on the field, first grilling the best meat for the Lord and the Knight inside.

Oka poured the can of wine he had collected into a wooden bowl and put it in front of the young master, saying, "Please use it, Master, this is my best wine."

"Oka, I am a magician now and can't drink." Annien said softly.

"I don't want it either. I haven't arrived at the castle yet and I'm still on the way. I must be vigilant." Magpe said seriously, still meticulously.

"Ah, Master, you are already a level 5 magician. It's amazing." Oka then saw the magic badge on his body in the dim light - he served in Moon City, and of course he knew the level of the magician.

"Mom, I want to eat meat!" At this time, a child about ten years old pulled Oka's wife's clothes, staring at the barbecue, smelling the aroma of barbecue, and looking at Oka's youngest son.

"Be good, mom will get you a pig blood clot later." The busy Oka wife lowered her head and said.

"This is your little son, come, I'll give you a piece!" Annien smiled, and he picked up a string of grilled meat and gave it to the child.

"How can this be done? Manfei, get out quickly."

"It's okay, Oka, he's still a child." Annien put the barbecue into the child's hand, and then watched the happy child being driven out with the barbecue. Seeing Oka's wife's happy expression because her son had eaten the meat, Annien felt an impulse in her heart. He felt that the people on this island were really working hard.

It has been sixteen years since the Fenokashu family entered the Nabila Island, but the construction of the island and the life of the people in the throne are still so hard. He had to plan to change the status quo - as an official, he had to bear responsibility while enjoying rights. This is common sense in the 26th century, and the lords of this world control the life and death of the people in the throne and the life of the people, so this responsibility is even heavier.

"Sir, the fish have been cooked." At this moment, two delicious fish that had just been caught from the sea with a net had been burned. The fragrant fish sauce was poured on the fish, and it seemed very delicious at first glance - this was made by Annien personally instructing the chef!

The Knight Magpei also immediately stepped forward. Although he was meticulous, he also had a good impression of the fish cooked in this way. This world is a separate meal system, and as a nobleman, he and Annien each had one.

"Eat together, the journey is hard." Other sailors and soldiers had long hoped that, so they sat happily in front of the matches and grilled themselves. Even the 50 slaves were divided into some black bread and some broth, and they ate it voraciously. They were one of the spoils they had obtained in the Chamber of Commerce War.

Time passed quickly, and it was midnight. All those who had enough food fell asleep. Only Annien did not feel sleepy at all. He walked to the dock, and the dim vision of the half-elf allowed him to clearly see the terrain and the ocean under the moon.

This pier is surrounded by a semicircular terrain that can serve as a natural barrier to avoid wind and waves. According to his observation, the shores are stable, the water is smooth, and the mud and sand are not easy to accumulate. It is a natural and excellent port.

"Breathe in the water!"

He activated magic, which was a level three spell, forming a magic circle that could temporarily gain the power of breathing in the water. According to his current level, he could maintain it for 0 hours, and at the same time he could also allow people to dive below a certain water depth.

He took out a ring from the space bag, and he cast a "Immortal Flame" on it. This is a second-level spell that can maintain the light within 0 meters. Although it is immortal, it will actually only last for about three months and then slowly fail, but it is enough.

He jumped into the sea water, and a ball of light had already illuminated a small group of sea water. There were already corals along the coast twenty meters deep, and various corals were beautiful under the light, as well as some marine creatures such as starfish, sea urchins, and shells were everywhere. All kinds of sea fish and shrimps were swimming in groups under the water.

These fish did not seem to be frightened by humans. They swam around Annien without any fear. Some even saw the light and were spinning around him, but were blocked by magic barriers.

"What a pity, what a pity!" Annien couldn't help thinking that such many fish had no effect at all. There was no such thing as canned or frozen in this world. Therefore, fish usually break down and smelly after a day after they came out of the water, so fish cannot be sold as a commodity to the mainland.

As for this island, fish can only be used as a means of supplementing protein and can barely serve as part of the food.

In the coral forest, he saw some clam shells. Maybe they could produce pearls? But at a depth of twenty meters, ordinary people could not pick pearls calmly. It seemed that they had to plant beads themselves.

A kind of shrimp is even more crowded, but it is easy to be frightened. Once something approaches, it will flee. Basically, the water flow here is smooth, the water quality is good, and the seawater is rich in nutrients. It is a good place for natural breeding of fish, shrimp and shellfish. However, it seems that only pearls are of some value.

Maybe the salt farm is a good thing to pay attention to. I believe that the entire island can always find a suitable location, but this must have a lot of manpower and material resources, because it is already April, and salt drying must be completed before June, and it will only take two months.

It drilled out of the water, and there was no water on its body. At this moment, a man whispered on the dock: "Sir."

"Kafa, have you not slept yet?"

"No, I'm thinking about how to build a stronghold of the Chamber of Commerce here!" Kafa replied that he is currently the representative of the Chamber of Commerce stationed on Nabira Island, and his responsibility is to establish a branch of the Chamber of Commerce on this almost deserted island.

For him, this was a difficult task, because it seemed that there was nothing here, and there was no transaction, and there was naturally no profit. How could it be possible to establish a chamber of commerce branch without profit?

"At present, don't think about how to sell it, just buy all kinds of items for us!" Annin thought for a while and said, "What do you think we need?"

"Although I've only been here tonight, as far as the current situation is concerned, the most lacking thing on the island is people. If there is no one, there will be nothing and nothing can be done." Kafa said: "The Lord said that there are only about ,000 people on the island, and such a population cannot do anything."

"Yes, there are only five or six people on the pier. If it weren't for the poor here, even pirates wouldn't have been willing to come, the pier would have been looted long ago." Ann couldn't help but laugh at himself: "The others were concentrated near the castle, where some farmland was reclaimed."

"This is too conservative and there is no way to develop."

"I know, but this time I brought a lot of money, enough to be 70,000 gold coins, so I spent more than enough." Originally, there were 20,000 gold coins, but in the war with the Chamber of Commerce, I sold a batch of captured magic items, and obtained another 20,000.

The young mage has already spread its reputation. Everyone nearby has heard of it. It has reached the level of level 5 mage in just over a year and has become the star of tomorrow among everyone. People have relished legends about his plan to kill ogres and his performance in many battles, especially the adventure of discovering the mask of the Dark Night.

No one now doubts whether this young mage can become a great mage as long as he is not killed in advance.

Because of this, he took preferential treatment to him intentionally or unintentionally, and no one wanted to offend a future master.

Kafa shook his head: "Sir, 70,000 gold coins are a lot, but if it is used to buy slaves, it cannot be bought much. An adult man needs 30 gold coins, while an adult woman needs 20 gold coins. Then, if you buy 500 slaves and place them, the Sir will have to spend 5,000 gold coins. How much does Sir want to buy?"

",000 slaves! I have to need so many slaves to do something. I believe you should also understand that even if you attract those reclamators and refugees, you must have certain living conditions. Now it is so desolate, it cannot attract people."

"Yes, but this cost 30,000 gold coins. But as long as you pay, I believe that ,000 slaves in the North are still more than enough in the market."

For all people, on the one hand, slaves must be enslaved, and on the other hand, slaves must be maintained, and slaves must be encouraged to have children. In this way, Annien's measures will not be different in essence, it is nothing more than a little welfare, but the increase in population cannot be seen in a short period of time.

"What about the tools you need to buy these ,000 people?"

"Sir, what you said is too general, and there are differences in tools, but overall, basic farm tools and cutting tools also require 3,000 gold coins." After a pause, he said, "If this continues, the funds will soon be exhausted - if there is no income."

"Let's not worry about this, I want to invite you to a few stonemasons."

"mason?"

"Yes, it's best if you want to stay here, and if you don't, hire three months."

“Yes, this is easy.”

"There is also a lot of food, which can satisfy ,500 people for two months. You can calculate how much it costs and how to allocate the ship transportation." After a meal, Ann said: "Slaves, food, and tools are best solved this month, and transport them at one time. If my four ships are not enough, you can ask other ships from the Chamber of Commerce to participate in the transportation. I have already agreed that there are twenty ships to use this month."

Kafa obviously knew the situation. While thinking, he said, "It is more than enough to use two boats for food and tools. Each slave can only hold 50 people. Even if the sea route is not long, there will be only 00 people without danger. Therefore, 2 boats must be more appropriate, and several boats must have soldiers, so that they can be safe."

The two of them were talking while walking and walking out of the dock area. From the moonlight, they could see that the flowers were in full bloom. After all, it was already April spring, and not far away, the forest was dense.

"Spring is fine now, and it will be May in a month. The slaves I bought don't have a house and there is no big deal. They won't be frozen."

"In this regard, I want the 50 slaves I already have to cut down trees and build wooden houses. If everyone works together, according to experience, it only takes four days for ten people to complete a wooden house. That 50 people can complete fifteen in four days, and about fifty in one month can complete them, and a group of people can be temporarily accommodated."

"Sir, do you want to build all people in the dock area? The coastal beaches in the dock area are not a good place to be reclaimed. Without farmland, it seems that life for so many people cannot be maintained."

"The pier area has fifty households and one hundred people. I am also planning to build a salt farm, and I will also place one hundred households. I will find a good place near the pier."

"Salt field? This is not easy to build. If it can be built, it would be a big business." Kafa knew that salt was also a tight material in the mainland.

"That's why there are so many people. I know how to build a salt farm."

Kafa still had many questions, but he had served several masters, so he knew very well that he could not refute it when his master was so confident. He just needed to do his job well.

However, after thinking about it, he reminded him: "Sir, the first thing to do is to expand the wooden piles and planks of the parked ships in the dock area, so that more ships can be accommodated. Now there can only accommodate one or two ships here, and they cannot cope with the twenty ships in the future."

Annien's heart moved and agreed.

"Also, Sir, I think that to quickly organize a cut down, those jungles that cannot use building materials must be burned immediately, because weeds and jungles will not only hide wild animals and poisonous snakes, but also breed many mosquitoes and plagues. This is the biggest thing. We have to be prepared. If you burn a fire, you can eradicate such a breeding ground in advance."

This was indeed a real insight, and Annon nodded quickly.

"Sir, the location here is very good as a port, but it seems to be a little far from freshwater. If many people live here, they must also lead the canal into the water - it seems that there is a freshwater lake not far away? The project is not very big, but it must be done."
