Chapter 65 The Harvest Season

Not long after Robert left, Henry brought Debra to the slaves' residence. It used to be full of people, but now most of the rest are underage boys and girls. Most of the adult slaves have become civilians through hard work. The working ability of these children is obviously not the opponent of adults, so they are still slaves for the time being. Henry is going to brainwash these kids and send them to the Academy as the first students. In the future, these people will become the foundation of his rule and will not be easily bought by other forces.

He said to the female mage: "I think you should know how to choose a mage apprentice. Now I want you to pick as many as possible here, and the rest will be sent to the academy to learn martial arts, management, business, construction, agriculture, etc. Sailing and other professional knowledge. Be nice to them, these children will be of great use in the future.”

Debra instantly understood what the master meant, and she watched these busy little slaves. "Understood, they're going to make this their home. You're their master. I'm going to train them well, that's what I did with the guards in the fraternity."

Henry looked at the female mage in surprise. "Have you ever done this? It seems that your status in the Brotherhood is not low. This kind of work is usually assigned to the most trustworthy subordinates."

A charming smile appeared on Debra's face. "Because most members of the Brotherhood disdain contact with those guards, they discriminate against all fighters and think their value is far less than a golem. I was the only one who took the job and used it on these guards I cast a little charm spell. It didn't take long for the entire guard force to cover my eyes and ears, and they will eradicate the enemy for me with just a small hint."

Henry looked at Debra and thought: This woman from the evil camp is really good at certain things. If it wasn't for the system controlling her soul, my first reaction would be to kill her immediately. But now she can rest assured that she will do all the shady things behind the scenes.

"Very good, then I will leave the matter here to you. The selected apprentices will be brought to the thieves union for Robert to train briefly. I don't need to make them thieves, as long as they know how to guard against daggers from the dark. Alright. Also remember to control their thoughts, I don't like betrayal." Henry said seriously to the female mage.

Debra bowed deeply. "Obey Master, you will soon have a group of loyal apprentices."

Two months passed in a flash, and Hawke's fleet made large-scale purchases in all cities in the Northland. A lot of livestock and poultry were brought to the island and distributed to the villagers to raise them. The 30 apprentices selected by Debra have already started learning the basics of magic, and some of the books in Lord Henry's Mansion are open to them for borrowing. The other boys and girls were also sent to the school, and Henry's subordinates began to teach them knowledge and martial arts. The ears of wheat in the field have already crushed the stalks, and the large fields of spices are full of fruits.

This is a harvest season. Under Henry's signal, Hawke began to organize manpower for large-scale harvesting, and even the people who were building the city wall were transferred away. Large fields of wheat were harvested and dried, and all but a few seeds were hulled and put into barns. Villagers in many villages send these wheat grains to windmills or waterwheel mills to be ground into flour for storage. A large number of potatoes were also dug out of the mud, and the quantity was too large to fit in the warehouse. Finally, after discussing with his wife and Hawke, Henry decided to sell it to the businessmen who came and went.

After harvesting the grain, Henry brought some conscripted farmers to the lakeside of Emerald Isle, and started picking spices with the residents living here. The nutmeg fruit is picked and put into a basket and taken to an open space to dry. After drying, the pulp and skin are stored separately. After the pepper is picked, it is put into wooden barrels and stored directly after drying. Finally, dig out the ginger in the soil and wash it to complete the task.

Shikodi stood next to Henry greedily smelling the scent of these spices. She turned her head and said to her husband: "Honey, all these spices are going to be sold to my brother? Will we suffer too much?" ?”

Henry helped her smooth out her wind-torn hair. "I only plan to give half of your brother's production, and the rest will be sold on the island to attract merchants to come and trade. This way our territory can attract more people to come and live. You don't see how empty the whole city is. ."

Shikodi nodded. "Half of the quantity is enough for my brother to digest for a while. When are you going to let him pull the goods?"

Looking at the mountains of spices piled up in the warehouse, Henry smiled mischievously and said to his wife: "Don't worry, we will start selling in the market at the pier first. I believe the Grand Duke will get the news soon, am I right? "

Shikodi smiled and kissed her husband on the face. "You are such a naughty bad guy, but I am already fascinated by you. At that time, my brother will definitely bring the fleet and run over from Baldur's Gate impatiently."

After returning to the lord's mansion, Henry found that Amy was waiting in the living room as if she wanted something. Henry let go of his wife in his arms and walked over and asked, "What's the matter, Amy?"

Amy smiled. "It's gold coins, my master. We have already provided the Seven Suns Chamber of Commerce with a large amount of salt. They just sent over the gold tickets that have been settled in the past few months. The total is 800,000 gold coins after deducting taxes. The gold tickets are here. If there is nothing wrong I went to read a book."

After Henry took the golden ticket, he touched Amy's long golden hair. "You really should be a mage and not a warlock. Your thirst for knowledge surpasses most mages. Now I allow you to enter the back half of my study and read all the books there."

Amy jumped up happily, she gave Henry a hug and turned and ran upstairs. Shi Kodi stood by and looked at the girl who was younger than herself. She knew that her husband liked her very much. But which aristocratic male surname will not have a few prostitutes, and the husband is also very good to himself and has not done anything to the maids in his mansion.

She walked over to Henry and said, "Honey, you like Amy very much."

Henry nodded. "Yes, the Restan brothers and sisters were the first to follow me. And Amy is already a powerful warlock."

Shi Kodi smiled and said to her husband: "Then why don't you turn her into a prostitute, only in this way will she work for you even more wholeheartedly." Henry looked at his wife and thought: Yes, it seems that Fei Lun is not a husband Monogamy. A person of great power can have multiple wives or husbands. Elminster, for example, was first the goddess of magic and then the seven daughters of the goddess. Silvermoon City Lord Alastriol also seems to have many husbands and wives.

He smiled at the thought. "My dear, thank you for your reminder, but Amy is still a little young now, let's talk about it when she grows up."

Shi Kodi looked at her husband and said seriously: "I know you will not be an ordinary person in the future, so I don't envy you how many **s you have outside. As long as you remember this is your home, I will always be your wife Will suffice."

Henry smiled and held his wife's face in his hands. "How could I forget such a beautiful wife." As he spoke, he gave Shi Kodi a deep kiss, and then the two quickly walked back to the room. It didn't take long for a woman's moaning sound to be heard from inside.

The next morning, Henry stood on the balcony on the third floor overlooking the whole city. Most of the more than 10,000 residents live in the port area, and Robert's union has opened several pubs, casinos, casinos, and theaters in the entertainment area. Many sailors who have just disembarked like to go there for a night. In the future, the city will become bigger and bigger, and the population will also increase. And all kinds of things will emerge one after another, requiring a dedicated person to take care of them. Thinking of this, Henry decided to promote Hawke to become a nobleman and concurrently serve as the mayor of the city. I believe the old captain will be very happy when he hears the news. And my recent gold coins are almost enough, I can go to the teacher to buy blueprints and materials to start building the mage tower.

After he figured it out, he turned around and said to the butler standing quietly behind him: "Now go and inform Hawke, Vaughn, Asembu, and Cagan to come to see me, and let Mrs. and my mother also attend."

The butler bowed. "Follow the earl, but I'm afraid it will be noon when they arrive, do you need to prepare a sumptuous lunch?"

Henry thought for a moment. "Let's prepare together, remember to prepare a few bottles of good wine. There are important things to announce then."

"Understood, I'll tell someone to do it right away." After speaking, the housekeeper turned and left.

It was almost noon when Hawk came to the Lord's Mansion first. He walked into the hall and saw Henry drinking a glass of iced juice. After saluting, he asked, "Count, is there anything important to inform me today?"

Henry smiled and motioned the maid next to him to pour a glass for the old captain as well. "Don't worry, I promise this is a good thing." Hawke sat down when he couldn't ask anything for a while, and began to drink cold juice slowly. It didn't take long for other people to arrive one after another.

After seeing that everyone was here, Henry stood up and said to everyone: "Everyone, I have called you here today because I have something to announce. Before that, please allow me to express my sincere thanks to you. There is no such a beautiful city today. Today I decided to canonize all of you as nobles, and my mother and wife are here as witnesses. Hawke, you have followed me since the beginning of the voyage. Most of the construction of the city is done by you The command is completed. I decided to confer you a knighthood and allow you to find any place on the island that does not exceed 2,000 acres to establish a manor as a hereditary territory. Vaughan and Asimbu I canonize you as knights, and you can choose a place that does not exceed 2,000 acres. More than a thousand acres of land to build a manor. Cagan, my friend, you led me through my first adventure. I also knighted you. But I don't think the dwarves will be interested in the manor, so I decided to let you choose A mountain as its own territory."
