"Are they from the Church of Fortune? That's great. I've been waiting for them these days." Lawrence said and gave some instructions to the others before he and Peter got on the sampan back to the port.
"We should give the port a name." Because they were acquaintances, Lawrence and Peter chatted on the sampan. Soon, they talked about something Peter encountered this morning. "Today's trade
Members of the Goddess of Wealth Church have been asking us what this place is called, but we can only describe it as the port on Niujiao Bay. This makes me feel a little inappropriate."
"It's really not appropriate, because now the port and nearby towns have been established, but using the word port to describe it seems a bit too informal." After Peter said this, Lawrence also realized that just the word port was called "port".
It’s not very appropriate. “What do you think is a better name for this place?”
As a bad name maker, Lawrence really has no talent in naming. So when he encounters this kind of problem, his first reaction is to ask for help from others.
"New Sauer Port, anyway. I think there are many places in this area that are named like this. You are the Earl of Sauer, and your fiefdom is called New Sauer Island, so I personally think this name is just right." Peter
His ability in naming was also very average, so after thinking for more than ten seconds, he came up with a very popular place name.
This is also a common feature of place naming in the New World. After the colonists came to the New World and took root, they would often name the land under their feet after their hometown or ancestral home. Therefore, if you open a map of the New World, you will
I saw many place names above that overlap with those of the Old World, or a new character is added in front of the old place name.
Although following the crowd may not seem distinctive enough, it is better than being stable. So after briefly thinking about it, Lawrence mentally agreed with Peter's suggestion of naming the port.
"The name you chose is very good, at least I can't think of a better name." Lawrence said to Peter, and decided to name the new town after this name.
Because it takes more than ten minutes to cross the bay, the two people on the boat naturally took this opportunity to chat. In addition to the issue of naming the new town, there were also issues about new immigrants and the recent construction.
Question. As a grassroots clergyman of the Church of Knowledge, Peter can observe this territory from another angle.
It can be said that everything is going smoothly in terms of construction now. The old farmland and water conservancy facilities have been renovated, and some of the facilities that were not scientifically planned when they were designed have also been renovated with the help of the Agricultural Church Working Group.
once.
Now that the busy farming season has passed, in addition to the people who look after the farmland and farms, the few farms on the plains close to the interior have been transferred to work in the urban areas near the newly built ports. Most of them have been taken over by people from all over the country.
People organized and built various new water conservancy facilities.
Although there is not much precipitation in this area, the weather is divided into two distinct seasons: rainy season and dry season. Therefore, if you want to take advantage of the local special climate advantages to plant three times a year, you need to build enough water conservancy facilities to adjust the rainfall in different seasons.
The amount of water has become a must for the development of planting industry on this island.
As for the new immigrants, in addition to the followers from the old territory, the fishermen from the surrounding islands, and the tauren who were persuaded to come out from the hilly areas to work, there have also been sporadic spontaneous immigrants on the island recently.
Immigration from the New World to the Old World has never stopped. When these immigrants choose a place to settle, in addition to considering the situation of the place of destination, a very important selection factor is the mainstream culture of the colony. For people who come to a new place,
It is said that if they are surrounded by people or things they are familiar with, it will help them integrate into local life faster.
For example, people from the east of the Old Continent will immigrate to the Republic of New Zealand, while people from the west will immigrate to the White Eagle Federation, Algarve Empire, and Elysian Empire, which are located in the east of the Old Continent.
However, the mainstream ethnic groups of the White Eagle Federation are the Britons and Franses, and the mainstream ethnic groups of the Algarve Empire and the Elysian Empire are the main ethnic groups of the countries surrounding the Mediterranean Sea in the western and southern part of the Old World. In this way, for
The Visby people, who did not have a country with their own population as the mainstream in the New World, were a little uncomfortable. They could only choose foreign lands that were not familiar to them as their destination.
After Lawrence came to New Sauer Island and started major construction, the people of North and South Visby finally had a place to choose from. Although the island is still wild, since he successfully expelled that group
After the goblins occupied Niujiao Bay and recently defeated the famous pirates in the Sea of Stars, this island has slowly become a new target for some Visby people who immigrated to the New World.
According to Peter, at least in the past week, two immigrant boats have docked at the port. Then after publicity and on-site inspections, 17 families and 33 people among these immigrants chose to stay on the island.
"Ah, this is a good start." Lawrence nodded with satisfaction after hearing this. It seems that since the elimination of pirates made others aware of the power of the island and the degree of its security, the island has finally taken the initiative to come to the island.
Immigrants. Even though the number of these immigrants is now only a handful.
As the two people chatted, the sampan they were on slowly approached the port. Just as the small boat passed by the Enterprise, Lawrence noticed that someone was installing something on the bow. Then a green figure emerged from the boat.
The ship's mast jumped down like Lawrence flying over.
"Nora, what are you doing on the boat?" Lawrence hugged the little doll flying towards him and lowered his head to ask. In his impression, although Nora is a doll, she is always busy every day. If it weren't for him
Or if some of the little doll's friends need help, she will often go to that astral plane and be busy all day long, and will not appear in front of everyone until dinner time. So Lawrence was a little surprised as to why she appeared on the ship today.
"I'm asking the workers to install a bow statue on our ship." Nora said, "As a warship that has established meritorious service, it should have some special devices of its own."
Nora is right. In this world with extraordinary power, some meritorious battleships will have their own special decorations, and this decoration will greatly improve the morale of everyone on board. But now Nora asked the workers to install them on the ship.
To Lawrence, the bow of the ship was obviously inconsistent with the style of painting in this world.
"It is indeed a good idea to get a bow statue, especially since our Enterprise sank one enemy ship and captured two in a one-on-three battle in the first battle." Lawrence first affirmed Nora's approach.
, and then said: "But why did you choose this."
Because the wooden statue that is being installed on the bow of the ship by workers is obviously the bust of a corporate ship girl in a certain ship girl game who wears a modern military uniform and holds a bow and arrow in her hand.
"My brother, you need to consider metaphysical issues." Nora sat on the side of the ship at this time and said. "Luck is very important when dealing with the sea in this world, and the ship's bow statue is an effective means to strengthen luck.
.”
"The power represented by this sculpture is a legend on the sea. I believe that with the protection of this bow statue, our ship will also become a legend on the sea in the future."
"Okay, I think what you said is right." Lawrence was finally persuaded by Nora and agreed to use this two-dimensional wooden statue as the bow of the Enterprise. Just like Nora said,
No matter how wrong the style of this statue is, it is still a legend on the sea.
