"Finally, there is one more thing to announce. The Solar Storm led by Alfred is about to embark on its first voyage to open up the market for us. This is an extremely important matter, related to whether my territory can

It will continue to develop in the endless years to come, but for now, there are still two problems."

"First, the Sun Vine is the standard main battleship of the Black Bone Pirates. Its appearance can easily be misunderstood by the coastal defense forces and cause accidental damage. Therefore, Bugbear will try its best to repair and modify the Sun Vine in the next period of time. The maximum

The appearance of the Sun Vine has been changed to the maximum extent to meet the requirements of being able to sail freely in the offshore waters of Glenson Tower, and it must be fast.”

"Secondly, if there is only tea as a commodity, our business will be a little thin, so I ask everyone here and everyone in the territory to try their best to think about what else can be used as a commodity in our territory.

To join our business scope, well, if the suggestions are adopted, the person who made the suggestions will get my reward."

In his previous life, Adrian was just a small owner of an art store, and he was also the kind of smart storekeeper. If he was asked to preside over the commercial development of a territory, he was suddenly confused and didn't know where to start, but he understood

There must be a brave man under a heavy reward. I just hope that this method can mobilize the intelligence of his servants and vassals to give him suggestions.

This is also a casual move, and it won't cost much anyway, but if there is a harvest, it will be an unexpected blessing. In order to make two goals, Adrian still puts this matter in

It was announced at the meeting.

But Adrian was soon disappointed. When his senior officials heard this request, they were silent for a while. They are all full-time talents who have received long-term professional training. They are fearless if they are asked to do their professional things, but business

After all, none of them had ever had any contact with it, and when they suddenly thought about it, they really had no idea at all.

Adrian was slightly disappointed, but he was not discouraged and continued: "I know this is not something everyone is good at, but this is not a requirement. You can go back and think about it slowly. If you have good suggestions, go and find them.

Alfred."

But at this time Alfred stood up. He first saluted Adrian and then said:

"Lord, we don't just have tea, we also have more precious commodities to sell."

"What are you talking about, Afu."

"This is your "Glenson Tower Encyclopedia". Lord, you have completed the first and second volumes of Natural History. Perhaps we can sell the publishing rights of these two volumes in cities along the coast."

Adrian was initially a little excited when he heard that Alfred had the idea, thinking that this was an opportunity to buy horse bones for a thousand dollars, but after hearing Alfred's suggestion, he was disappointed again. He waved his hand and said:

"That won't work, Afu. The publication of the "Glenson Tower Encyclopedia" must be done in cooperation with the family. Only in this way can the interests of myself and the family be maximized."

When Alfred heard Adrian's rejection, he stopped trying to persuade him. He also knew the significance of this book to Adrian and his family, but he was not hit by the rejection of his suggestion. He was just a little annoyed that he didn't think enough about the problem.

Zhou Quan sat back after expressing his apology to Adrian.

Adrian said encouragingly: "Although Afu's suggestion has not been adopted, he deserves encouragement. After all, he has thought about the development of the territory, so I ask you to think more about it. If you accept the suggestion, then

Go find Ah Fu, that's all I have to say, do you have anything else to say about the development of the territory?"

At this time Aoun stood up and said: "Lord, originally we decided to redress the soldiers in batches after the black steel ingots arrived, but after we increased the number of manpower, I found that we alone could not

The efficiency of one person is really too low, and now that there is more work of making glass tea sets, the time for updating weapons will probably be extended again, so I hope to get some people to supplement it."

Regarding this issue, Adrian thought for a while and decided to resort to a killer move. He said to Ornn: "Now you have two Wildhammer dwarves under your command, and soon I will add ten gray dwarves to you as assistants.

Afu will also pay attention to collecting the evolutionary items of the dwarves as much as possible when he is doing business, and I have some ideas about the processing technology and procedures. After the meeting is over, I will discuss it in detail with you. Okay, others are still here

Is there a problem."

After receiving the answer, Aoun went back with satisfaction. He had been deeply impressed by Adrian's endless whimsical ideas, so he did not doubt the authenticity of the ideas about processing technology and processes.

, I just hope that the Lord’s thoughts are shocking enough.

After Aoun sat back, Ralph stood up. After getting Adrian's permission, he said: "Lord, there is one more thing about you. The development of the territory has passed the initial and most difficult stage.

, so you should consider forming a team of followers and escorts that match your status. According to your plan for tea promotion, our territory will soon receive visits from many Green Tower knights, so I have the task of forming followers and guards.

Troops are a top priority."

Adrian thought about it and felt that what Ralph said made sense. It was impressive to think that when Aragund and Abram came to visit, the guards composed of attendants around them were very impressive. The high-ranking elves took matters very seriously.

A well-mannered race, so guards are necessary, so Adrian said:

"Then set it up, but now that the territory is in need of manpower everywhere, my attendants and escorts should not have too many men. Let's set the size of a ten-person team. Well, Vicky, Alice is my maid.

It is a must to join. In addition, Braum, Fiona, Ashe and Kaisha have been doing well. Finally, the newly added Anjika and Deep Forest Whisper can also be members of the guard. So there are still two people left, please recommend it.

"

At this time, the attendants and vassal leaders were excited, and they immediately started fighting. Even Old Halke raised his hands tremblingly, but he was ignored by the leaders. What a joke. How could one of the lord's attendants get in among them?

The white elf farmer's.

The leaders are fighting fiercely. They all want to push their men into the mismatch between the lord's attendants and guards. This is not only honor, it can prove that they are the best people in the territory to protect the lord, and it can also effectively guarantee

For one's own benefit, the principle that those who are near the water and towers get the moon first is also true in all realms.

Seeing the leaders arguing with each other red-faced and refusing to give in, and even Orch forced Tutam back into his seat after he stood up, Adrian had a headache. He decided to leave this offending matter to Ralph.

, so he said:

"Stop arguing. Since this matter was brought up by Ralph, let it be up to Ralph to decide who owns the remaining two vacancies."

It's not that Adrian is passing the blame, but that as a lord, it is really difficult for him to decide who to choose and who not to choose. Of course, those who are chosen by him will be very happy, but those who are not chosen by him will be greatly frustrated.

Enthusiasm may even lead to "pessimistic thoughts" that make the lord look down on us.

But Ralph had already thought of a countermeasure, and he said with a smile: "Since the lord has given this matter to me, I will make the decision on your behalf.

Choosing one from the star, choosing one from the hunter army is the most suitable choice."

Then Ralph stopped Tutam and Bull who were about to jump up to retort with his eyes, and said in a gentle tone:

"Leader Tutam and Chief Boer, don't be excited. I will give you a reasonable explanation. First, let's talk about the Bugbear Troops. The Bugbear Troops' battles usually determine that the Bugbear Troops are suitable for large-scale frontal assault operations, or for surprise operations in hunting grounds.

, so a bugbear is not suitable to join a limited number of followers and guards, and now is the period of rapid development of territory construction. The carpentry skills of every bugbear are valuable and can be used in other areas.

Local areas play a greater role.”

After listening to Ralph's explanation, Tutam sat back gloomily, but still said in a low voice: "Every bugbear can use his body to resist all harm for the lord."

But Tutam was obviously persuaded by Ralph, and he just stopped talking after losing such a "complaint" that seemed like "a harsh word". Then Ralph turned to Bull and said with a smile:

"Chief Boer, the combat range of your marine scouts is limited to the water. With all due respect, your combat effectiveness on land is not stronger than other troops."

Bull, who was about to jump up to refute again, was stopped this time by Adrian's eyes, signaling him to continue listening. Bull never disobeyed Adrian's will, so even though his chest was rising and falling violently, he still said nothing and continued to listen.

Ralph's explanation.

"But, Chief Boer, you have to think this way. If the lord travels on the water, your entire Marine Scout troop will be accompanying you. This is an honor that other troops do not have, so I implore the Marine Scouts to accompany you on the water."

The honor of defending the lord on land is given to others."

Well, Bull was also convinced, so after the meeting, a cross star and a hunter joined Adrian's entourage and escort. Adrian would never be able to travel alone again.

The territory became busy again. With the hard work of the bugbears, the modification work of the Sun Vine was quickly completed, and Alfred was about to sail away. Adrian mobilized ten marine scouts and five sea turtles.

The hounds were assigned to Alfred as a force on board the ship, ten bugbears were deployed as sailors, and five magic crystal cannons were reinstalled on the Sun Vine. The ship finally had the ability to sail.

But unfortunately, no one made any suggestions about adding more goods before Alfred set off, so Alfred could only take the snakeskin bracelet that Adrian gave him and the 50 kilograms inside.

The tea set off in an empty boat.

On the day of departure, Adrian and all the territory's top officials bid farewell to Alfred and the Sun Vine on the river beach. Alfred stood on the bow of the ship and waved his hand with high spirits:

"Yang Fan!!"

The bugbear sailors overcame the strong discomfort at sea and raised three sails with the help of the ocean scouts, and the Sun Vine slowly sailed into the distance.

Adrian, who was standing on the shore, also silently shouted in his heart: "Yang Fan!! My territory."
Chapter completed!
