"I will definitely comply with all the instructions of the Earl, but...the whale in the deep sea is huge, and it is really difficult to defeat..." Captain Jack said through gritted teeth.
As a mature pirate who has spent most of his life in the ocean, Captain Jack knows how difficult it is to deal with those huge whales.
The size of the whale alone is enough to carry two or three ordinary pirate ships.
"You don't have to worry about this. I have already prepared brand-new weapons and equipment for Idar Whale Hunting Company. Although they are not as good as Idar's regular navy, they are far stronger than the scrap metal you had before.
!”
Hearing the earl's words, Captain Jack couldn't help but get excited.
Even if you still don’t know what the weapons provided by the Earl are, the weapons of the Idar people are all good things!
Sure enough, Idar's thighs are thick and strong. Just a little leakage from the fingers is enough to make the coral island pirates... Oh, no, it should be said that it is enough to make the Idar Whale Hunting Company's combat effectiveness even higher.
One floor!
"Thank you, Lord Count!" Captain Jack quickly thanked: "It's just...in this case, then robbery..."
"Of course you still have to grab something when it's time to grab it, but you can't grab it without any scruples like before. You have to know how to keep the flow of water flowing. You have to understand that there is a completely different relationship between having a full meal and a full meal."
"And whales are not everywhere, so your robbery business will naturally not fall behind."
After hearing this, Captain Jack nodded repeatedly. The earl is indeed an earl. He can even tell so many things about robbery and other matters.
"Also... please stop the previous actions of going ashore and looting civilians. The civilians are already living in poverty, and no matter how much looting is done, they can't squeeze out a lot of money."
"There must be a structure and a goal. Isn't it more valuable and meaningful to rob the nobles of the Kingdom of Basel than to loot the civilians? Not only must we be vigilant at all times, but we must also have a flexible moral bottom line!"
"I understand, I will definitely restrain the pirates below." Captain Jack quickly assured.
…
While Captain Jack met with Bruno, the pirates who had finally completed the information registration were finally allowed to set foot on the land of Idar Territory.
Captain Jack is very aware of Bruno's compassion and attention to civilians and serfs.
Therefore, most of these pirates who were not transferred to the ninth production team were barely clean and still retained their conscience and bottom line.
Jah Revere put a silver shilling and dozens of copper coins that he had finally saved in his pocket, and looked at the booming port.
No one is born a pirate. Jah Revere, who was born into a poor serf family, finally succumbed to the damn world and became a pirate after being oppressed by the local lord and forced into despair.
Although the nobles of the Kingdom of Basel have accumulated a large amount of wealth, due to the endless ravages and invasions of pirates, the civilians living in the northeastern part of the Kingdom of Basel have long been robbed of their last copper coins.
In addition, most of the income from pirate raids was stuffed into the pockets of the pirate leaders, so that the lives of pirates at the bottom can only be said to be better than that of the civilians at the bottom.
After getting used to the desolation and ruin of the coastal area of the Kingdom of Basel, not only Jah Revere, but also almost all the pirates had a sense of expectation for this emerging town with a large population in front of them.
Because...these pirates huddled on the coral island have not experienced such a simple but hopeful city life for a long time.
As an important port for the Idar Territory to implement its sea-viewing strategy, the Idar River Delta area, including the riverside industrial area, fishing port terminal and Idar military port, was all drawn in a small circle by Bruno (Chapter 155).
Merlin District!
This is the name Bruno gave to this booming area.
special zone,
Just hearing the name makes me think that it is high-end and classy, and it is particularly prestigious, and in fact... it is indeed the case.
In addition to the Idar steel factory, paper mills and other industries that are prone to causing certain pollution, most emerging industries including workshops that produce rose essential oil are gathered here, providing a large amount of food for the civilians of Idar Territory.
Employment opportunities.
Although the Merin District has not built a city wall for the time being, the Idar soldiers training in the military port not far away have brought an extremely strong sense of security to the Idar people here.
The army of Idar is an army under the command of Lord Bruno Stuart, Earl of Idar, and serves the people of Idar at all times.
Under Bruno's deliberate propaganda, this impression has gradually penetrated into the minds of every Idar people.
Moreover, soldiers who do not harass the people, do not steal food and drink, and do not behave recklessly can indeed be regarded as a breath of fresh air in this era.
And all of the above are naturally seen by the people of Idar Territory.
After nearly a year of development, the Merlin District has now become the place with the largest population in the Idar Territory, except for Idar Cheng.
The influx of foreign population and the emergence of small workshops have brought continuous prosperity to this area. As the only port connecting the French Islands, a large number of materials and laborers are hoarded and gathered here, and then sailed on ships.
Towards the deep sea.
The establishment of the large lighthouse made the entire Merlin Bay calm and calm, which prevented the originally ordinary transport ships from worrying about the danger of capsizing in the deep sea, greatly improving the efficiency of transportation.
During this period, the Idar Territory has basically formed a new development pattern with Idar City as the mainstay and Gran Town and Merlin District as the supplements. In fact, it has become the entire eastern part of the empire for civilians.
The most attractive aristocratic collar.
If it weren't for the fact that many commoners had certain debt relationships or personal dependence relationships similar to those of serfs and lords, the number of immigrants gathering outside the port of the Solon River would probably have more than doubled.
"How much does this piece of white bread cost?"
Jay Revere stopped in front of a bread vendor and asked aloud.
"Four copper plates, or eight equal pieces of black bread."
The changes in the Idar Territory are reflected in every corner of the territory. Delicacies like these that could only appear on the tables of noble lords are gradually appearing in the shops along the street.
Although the selling price is still not cheap, some workers with relatively ideal wages can still buy it once a month or two or three weeks to improve their food.
If this were applied to other aristocratic circles, I am afraid that the common people would not be able to eat white bread a few times in their lives...
"Give me a piece."
Jah Revere touched his pocket and said.
The price of white bread is indeed very expensive for him, but... so happy!
"Okay!"
The aunt who sold the bread immediately smiled brightly, packed it in a bag, and happily handed Jah Revere a piece of white bread that looked particularly soft.
Jah Revere carefully tore off a piece of soft bread and stuffed it into his mouth.
For a moment, the rich aroma of wheat almost melted in his mouth...
