Chapter 492: Planning

"Sir, you haven't named the city yet." Su Qi reminded Xia He.

"Name? Let's talk about it after I've seen the drawings."

The group came to the Marquis' Mansion. The Marquis' Mansion covers a large area, but the building is simple. There is a circle of walls outside and some trees are planted. Here it looks like the style of Storm Corner. The stone house is very rough and it is just one floor.

Well, Xia He didn't plan to stay here for too long. He asked Su Qi to arrange for the students to live in. The first time he entered his study room at home, the study room was empty, with no books, and only a lot of documents were shelved.

When the map was spread out, Xiahe saw that the city designed by Freya was not a political center at all. He simply planned to build a huge barracks. The ground was a fortress group, and the underground was a warehouse with complete fortifications.

"What does this mean?" Xia He pointed to the drawings and asked Su Qi.

"Mr. Freya said that it can produce grain here and build a city for training to familiarize soldiers with the details of urban combat. Rhodes Island is no different from other places, and the food is still tight. Only by developing small plains and replenishing on-site supplies can enough soldiers be fed."

"In other words, the Marquis' Mansion will not be located here at all?"

"This place was decided by the emperor. It was originally a village and had a deserted castle. Lord Freya meant that he asked the marquis to build a city by the sea and make a living by fishing shipbuilding. After the recruits were trained here, they were sent to the beach and trained to become navy."

Xia He nodded and said, "Have you selected the location?"

"I have chosen it, but the construction has actually started. There are no suitable ports on the eastern coast. I have to rely on manual means to transform the landform."

"This is too difficult." Xia He frowned.

"Sir Freya spent money to hire a legendary wizard in Metatrium to get the most difficult part. You can continue with ghosts and gods in the future."

Xia He didn't know what to say, but Freya could really make trouble. What made him feel most incredible was that she could actually hire a legendary wizard, or from the Metattering family.

"All the officials of the Marquis' Mansion come from the empire?"

"There have been almost done, and they are basically promoted by locals. Although this place is barren, there are some magicians and knights. Except for hundreds of thousands in the south, the rest are under the Marquis' system."

Xia He thought for a while and said, "Since this is the case, it is much better than what I thought. It is still being built here. I have enough funds to use it now. Mainly dealing with the farmland here, this small plain, can support millions of people. It seems that Rhode Island is not bad."

"Sir, Rhode Island is of course good. I found the seabed raw coal in the north, and there is probably natural black gold. The mining cost is high now. The nobles of the empire already know this information, but no one is willing to invest. After all, the empire's raw coal is too high and the price cannot be high. But for us..."

"It's just a strategic resource, something in the territory, no one can think of it."

"So, Lord Marquis, what will we do next?"

"I plan this way. Since Rhode Island is also very important, I will build a Sun City on the eastern coast, a Blue Moon City in Storm Point, and a large teleportation array. In this way, even if my two territories are connected, everyone can develop with peace of mind."

"Sir, it's too much to build a city."

"Did you forget our income?" Xia He shook his head and said, "Since you have money, you have to spend it all. The army cannot use the teleportation array, but the supplies can be. The resources in the South China Sea in Storm Corner are exchanged with this place. Well, I already have plans and let me stay alone for two days."

Xia He said, even Medierli and others rushed out, stayed in the study alone, took out the magic paper, and began to draw Sun City and Blue Moon City.

In these two cities, the Taoist methods are not dared to be used, and they can only hide them.

The climate of Rhode Island is now winter, and it is very cold at the southern end of the island, and snow begins to fall to the north. The weather in this small plain is fine, with mountains in the east and north, and the cold air is blocked and has not reached the point of freezing, so this small plain is more suitable for cultivation, and it is a little cold.

Xia He drew drawings in his study, and there was a map of the entire Rhode Island on the wall. While he was thinking, he observed the geography of Rhode Island, and he felt that this place was more and more good.

Because the island is too big, the surrounding sea is only close to the middle of the east and the deep sea. Other places are continental shelves that are dozens of meters deep. This continental shelf extends outward for six or seven hundred miles, and the deepest place is less than two hundred meters.

It is relatively easier to exploit subsea resources.

The magician did not know how to mine, so he didn't even think about developing underwater technology. Those hundreds of thousands of fishermen who refused to obey the rule of the Marquis' Mansion? It would be strange if there were no outsiders.

Xia He didn't want to make any sense at all. He would find out who was behind him and let them let go.

If you don't let go, you will start a war.

Because there are only a few thousand people who are really making trouble, and if there are more than ten thousand, there will be someone who will be in charge. How dare ordinary fishermen fight against any nobles?

As long as you have a fleet, block the south, arrange an army on land, and prevent the enemy from inciting rebellion, the matter will be resolved.

Hundreds of thousands of people need to eat, drink and support their families. If they cannot go into the sea or trade, they will starve to death. Will people die like this? Either raise an army to fight or surrender.

No matter which nobleman speaks and participates in it, he is his enemy.

If this is done, the fleet on Sun City will be put on the agenda. Xia He knew that in Storm Point, there have been many ships built, and although they are not as innovative as his, it is enough here. Freya is personally building a floating battleship and then a giant ironclad ship, so no one can threaten himself at sea.

As for land, it is a bit difficult to deal with. Rhodes Island is mountainous, and this plain is already the largest, and there are very few people in the rest of the place.

However, in the future, I will build a factory and use some means to make my people become professionals, even if it is only a first-level person.

First-level professionals have several times the strength of ordinary people, and they are not prone to getting sick, and their minds will become smarter. In many worlds, professionals are considered humans. If they cannot become professionals, they will live like slaves.

More than four million people, the size of the principality!

On the second day, Xiahe asked Medierly to issue tasks to students and conduct a census on the entire Rhode Island. The main purpose is to select suitable children or teenagers and send them to Storm Corner for training.

This is suitable, and does not refer to magicians alone, but also those who can become warriors.

These things were originally supposed to be done, but Xia He was not a person from this world. He didn't know anyone in Rhode Island and had no way to start. Now that there are more and more wings, he has the ability to do things.

On the map of Rhode Island, there are simple planning maps of Freya.

This small plain is the heart, mainly produces food by itself, ensuring that people on the island will not be trapped to death. In the west, a city will be built, and another large port will be built in the east. In the rest, there are also some small harbors, mainly depending on whether there are suitable places for living nearby.

Fishing or something will become a matter of the Marquis' Mansion in the future. If there are large fishing boats, they will not use many people to capture a large amount of seafood. People from Rhode Island will gradually become the military power of the Xia River.

The population is not large now, but if the Marquis' Mansion provides enough food and work, the entire island will soon expand when it operates. After all, Rhodes' geographical area is too large and can accommodate far more than these millions of people.

Freya wants to turn this place into a factory, and from then on, the number of farmers and fishermen in Rhode Island will drop sharply.

As long as you work for the Marquis, you don’t have to compete with God for food.

The factory experience of the God Zhou World can make Xiahe the best alchemy factory concentration area in the entire empire. And many people who are not magicians join in, but are only responsible for turning on the machines and maintaining the operation of the equipment.

Xiahe stopped in Rhode Island, and the students investigated the files, then went to search for suitable children, and recruited Xiahe's college. On the side of Xiahe, they met the magician, a woman in her early thirties.

This magician is an epic at level 25, and Xia He was very surprised.

"Marquis, I am Goria." The female magician said politely.

Gloria was wearing a purple robe, with a frosty face and delicate facial features. She had a ring on her hand and a pair of earrings on her ears, which were her three pieces of equipment.

"Which college did you come from?" Xia He was a little curious.

"Sir, I am not from the academy, I have listened to the East China Sea Magic Academy. Because I cannot provide tuition fees, I have to study by myself after level 20 and returned to Rhode Island."

"Are you a Rhodes Islander?"

"Yes, when my father was alive, there were several boats. I saved a magician on the sea. In return, the magician enlightened me. I was eighteen years old at that time."

"Then you are this year?"

"It's exactly thirty-five."

"What a miracle. I started to come into contact with magic at the age of eighteen, and before I was thirty-five, it became an epic. It's such a pity that you have this talent."

"It's no pity. I'm lucky to be a magician."

"Why do you know I'm looking for you?"

Goria smiled bitterly and said, "Rhode Island is the territory of the adults. If you let me come over, I don't need to know the reason."

"Golia, that's it. No matter what kind of life you want to live, you are a native of Rhode Island and an epic wizard. I can't just ask. And even if you don't do anything for me, you will be labeled as my own."

"I understand."

"So, let's do things for me. I can't guarantee anything else. I can still provide you with the resources to advance to legends."

"Then what will I pay?"

"loyalty."
