Broad World

Soon the first batch of slaves were sent to the shore, and they were taken separately according to gender to bathe, eat, and then arranged to rest in wooden houses. Henry watched the whole process going on in an orderly manner. He turned around and said to Hawke who had just landed: "My admiral, I will leave this place to you. Let these slaves go to have a good rest. They are very tired all the way here. .I'm going to deal with some things first." Hawk looked at the exhausted look of the slaves and nodded. "No problem, a team of barbarian warriors here is enough to deal with emergencies." Hearing the captain's affirmative answer, he said to the dwarf: "Kagan, I heard that you found an iron mine in the forest? Found a slightly insane elf mage?"

"Haha, I found that when I was hunting. We dwarves have a special intuition about mineral deposits. It is an open-pit iron mine with a small amount of traces of mining around it. I think it should be done by those werewolves in the past. And I also found an elf with abnormal nerves there." The dwarf said with a somewhat smug expression.

"Then take me to see this mineral lode now, and by the way, meet that elf who is not quite normal." Henry said while thinking that this elf should be the navigator of Bode'an, this guy can actually be alone here Live for more than five hundred years.

Cagan stroked his beard with a worried expression on his face. "No problem, but I want to warn you that the mage is really dangerous. I found a horrible cookbook in his house, and found some small cakes and some messy things in the kitchen. Moradin my god Ah! I just added those beautiful looking little cakes and fell to the ground after being poisoned. Fortunately, Robert poured me the antidote in time, otherwise you might not see me."

Henry smiled and said to the dwarf, "Don't worry old friend, we're just going to have a look, and I promise I won't eat anything from his kitchen."

"A wise choice, then let's go. The mine is a long way from here." After speaking, Cagan turned and led Henry towards the forest.

The island in early summer seemed a bit lively, and various animals began to recover. Along the way, a large number of birds flew over the sky and brought a lot of bird droppings. Henry thought that maybe this was the reason why the land of this island was so fertile. If so many seabirds bring a lot of droppings every year, even fertilization can be saved in the fields. The dwarf walked in front and kept cursing: "Damn! Damn! I hate these unsanitary birds. This is the helmet I just cleaned and now it is full of bird droppings. The truth shot them all down with a crossbow."

"Don't complain about Kegan, you will like them later. These dung will make the crops here grow better, and it won't be like the land in Belgost, and the harvest will start to decline year by year after a few years of planting." Henry Said to comfort the irritable dwarf.

The dwarf took out a cloth and wiped the dung off his helm. "Once your city is built you won't like them anymore because these birds don't know where to shit. They'll turn your city into a giant cesspit."

Henry patted his forehead with his hands and thought: My God, this is a big problem, no one likes to live in a city where bird shit will fall from the sky at any time. He asked Cagan: "How did Baldur's Gate and other port cities solve this problem?"

"They raise some raptors in the city to drive away seabirds. But there are too many seabirds here, and too few raptors will definitely not work. You'd better think of another way." The dwarf said to him after thinking for a while. Henry thought about it as he walked, and finally he decided to keep birds of prey. On the one hand, it can balance the ecological circle around the island so that the number of seabirds will not be too large; on the other hand, it can form a new food chain in line with his druid's professional surname.

After walking for more than an hour in the forest, I finally arrived at my destination. Cagan pointed to a large number of black-striped stones on the ground. "Look here, it's the best iron ore. It can be made into fine steel with a little smelting." Henry squatted down and picked up a few pieces of ore and observed them carefully. Most of them were black and had a metallic luster. He took out his dagger and wanted to try it. The hardness found that there is a strong magnetic force on it. Soon he confirmed that this was a magnetite, and judging from the distribution status, the huge reserves might run through the entire island and reach the bottom of the sea. "It's really a mineral vein with rich reserves. If I give you a certain number of people in Kegan, can you help me mine it?" The dwarf patted his chest proudly and said, "No problem, just clear out the nearby forest and build a mine." The iron furnace can quickly smelt a large amount of steel ingots. And I am very happy to do this kind of work." Henry looked at Cagan with some excitement and said: "Then I will send you a thousand people to clear the forest tomorrow. Then we built a blast furnace against this hillside."

"Blast furnace? What is that?" Cagan asked with some doubts.

Henry suddenly realized that most of the iron and steel smelting technologies in this world are small workshops, so he hurriedly explained the basic principles of blast furnace steelmaking to the dwarves. After hearing this, Cagan's eyes began to shine. He laughed and said, "Moradin! Henry, you are a genius! I swear I will build this place into the world's largest steel production place." Henry smiled. "Okay my friend, now we should go see that elf mage. I still have a spell book that I seized last time, which should belong to him." Cagan heard that he was going to see the mentally ill man. The mage touched his ax subconsciously. "Forget it, go by yourself. He lives in the wooden house behind this hillside, and I'll wait for you here." Henry stood up helplessly and walked towards the cabin alone.

Ten minutes later, he saw a hut in the woods. The house was already very dilapidated, and there were several big holes in the roof. He stepped forward and knocked on the door lightly, and the people in the room began to shout: "Go away! You beasts. I won't let you in." Henry shouted at the door: "Mr. Mage, please open the door , the werewolves on the island have been wiped out. And I found a spell book on the wreckage of the ship." "You found my spell book?" The door was kicked open and a man with a beard and hair rushed out. asked the gray elf. "Of course, but you should know the value of this spell book. I hope you can exchange it with something equivalent." Henry took out a book from the dimension bag and shook it. The elf mage stared closely at the book in Henry's hand. "Damn it! I shouldn't have gone to sea with Bod'an back then. Well, I'll exchange all my things for my book." He said as he took off his cloak, then the robe, and finally the amulet. The naked elf yelled, "I've removed all my magic items, now give me back my spellbook."

Henry looked at the elf mage who said he would take it off, and he also felt that the other party did have some mental problems. Picking up a few magic items on the ground, the robe of the neutral archmage, the holy cloak, the amulet "Wolf Spell" and returned the book to the mage. After getting the book, the elf stood on the spot and jumped up and down happily. He laughed and said, "It turns out that not wearing clothes makes people feel so relaxed. I decided not to wear clothes again." After speaking, he cast a teleportation surgery is gone. Henry looked dumbfounded and thought: I hope he won't be teleported directly to a densely populated city, otherwise he will soon be regarded as a woman and be written into a story by bards. After collecting all the magic items, he turned and went back to find the dwarves and they went back to the village together.

When I returned to the village, I saw that all the slaves had been sent to sleep in the wooden house, and a dozen barbarians formed a patrol team to patrol around the periphery of the village. Hawke came over after seeing Henry and asked, "How is it? How is the quality of the iron ore? Are there many reserves?" Seeing his nervous appearance, Henry smiled. "Don't worry, my admiral, it's an open-pit high-quality iron mine. I roughly observed that the ore vein leads to the seabed and has a lot of reserves. I decided to send a thousand people to clean up the surrounding forest tomorrow. This is what I got back. You can take a look at the ore." Hawke took the ore with some excitement and observed it carefully. He has been a captain for so many years and has a deep understanding of how profitable a rich iron ore is. And as long as the territory has enough steel and food, no one can get stuck in the neck of the lord. "It's really good iron ore, with a very high iron content." Hawke said as he handed the ore to the person next to him.

Seeing that everyone is here, Henry said: "Gather all the slaves together tomorrow morning, and I will make an announcement to the public. Now assign tomorrow's tasks, Cagan, you go with a thousand men and axes Cut down the trees around the forest. Robert, you take 2,000 men and 1,500 women to take care of the fields. Hawke, you are responsible for leading the rest to build the port and transform the village into a city. Organize by the way Some sailors went fishing to improve the food for the slaves. Amy, you take five hundred women to take care of everyone’s food.” Seeing that everyone nodded to show that they understood the task, Henry said: “Then go back to rest early today, tomorrow But it will be very busy." After speaking, he returned to the room and took out a piece of parchment and began to draw the city planning map.

A deep water pier is drawn first, and then a large building area is drawn around the entire pier. After planning the building area, leave a lot of space to ensure smooth roads, and finally the gates and walls. After simply designing an underground drainage system, this simple design drawing is completed. This is just a rough sketch, but it's ready to start construction. Tomorrow morning he was going to announce to the slaves that the twenty who worked the hardest each day could become commoners, get a piece of land and own their own property. In this way, he can transform all the slaves into territorial residents in just over a year, which can not only get rid of the hidden dangers caused by a large number of slaves, but also improve their enthusiasm for work. He planned to gradually transfer the 10,000 people to the countryside around the island, leaving the cities free for those knowledgeable scholars, craftsmen, merchants, and professionals. In this way, a large number of immigrants from Baldur's Gate and Amn can be absorbed and quickly become stronger.
