Start with Island Lord

There are four areas in the Dawn Castle.

From the outside to the inside, they are the military alert area, the meeting area, the Morning Treasure House, and the Dawn Garden.

At this moment, Rosen's perfect clone is staying in the meeting area, discussing a new policy for governing Weilan with top figures from all fields in the twenty-five counties of Weilan.

There are very, very many people coming, with an average of more than 400 people per county, adding up to more than 10,000 people, filling the meeting area of ​​the Dawn Castle.

Those who can finally enter the Glory Hall of the meeting area and discuss with Rosen face to face.

If they are practitioners, they must be at least at the peak of the advanced level. If they are merchants, they must have assets of at least 50,000 Ogg.

But it's not just practitioners and merchants.

Craftsmen with top skills, rural elders with extremely high rural reputations, even bards, painters, and even prostitutes who have always been regarded as lowly professions have been invited.

They strictly abide by the slogan of not looking at origin, but only looking at ability and character, which is almost a super-sized replica of the island citizen assembly back then.

In fact, the chief priest of the Saint Weilan Grand Temple and the Adrian family insisted on coronating the Duke first, but were rejected by Rosen.

He knew what the biggest source of his power was, so he insisted on setting the basic route for governing Weilan first, and then finding time to hold the coronation ceremony for the Duke.

While the current area was in heated discussion, Rosen's original body and his family came to the Dawn Garden, which was specially for the Duke to live.

Selena and others knew that Rosen had a puppet clone, but they didn't observe it carefully. They just thought that the one in the meeting area was just a higher-end puppet.

At this moment, she took her husband Rosen's arm and strolled in the beautiful garden where she grew up, with a lot of thoughts in her heart.

She thought she would never come back in this life, but she didn't expect to come back so soon.

"Honey, is the garden beautiful?"

Rosen's eyes swept over the sea roses that were growing pleasingly, and he looked at the blue and white flowers that were surging in the breeze like waves, and praised sincerely: "It's the most beautiful scenery I have ever seen."

Selena was very happy: "Then let's spend the rest of our lives here?"

Unexpectedly, Rosen shook his head.

"No, dear, this will become a separate courtyard, and Dawn City will still be the richest city in all of Weilan, but Weilan's capital cannot be located on the seashore."

Dawn City is a coastal city. Not far from Storm Bay is the Gilded Strait, and more than 200 kilometers away is Aaron.

If a war breaks out, once the sea fails, Aaron's warships will enter Storm Bay and directly fire at Dawn Garden.

And naval warfare is not only about skills, but also about luck.

If you are not careful, you can bury all your belongings on the seabed.

So, Weilan's capital must not be so close to Aaron.

Selena was startled, and then she understood Rosen's idea.

In the past, Weilan was Aaron's puppet, so it didn't matter if the capital was in Dawn City, but it would definitely not work in the future.

She asked softly: "Where is the new capital going to be located?"

"It is still under discussion."

"It is currently tentatively scheduled to be located in the city of Mondaniya, the capital of Mont County in the middle reaches of the Oran River. There is the Storm Bay of the Oran River connecting the Dawn City, and it is at least 300 kilometers away from the coast. At the same time, the Earl of Mont County is also finished."

"I remember that Mondaniya seemed very simple."

"Simple is good, it is just right to tear it down and design and rebuild it from scratch."

"It will be built in the style of the latest city, first build the most developed urban water supply and drainage system, so that every household can use the clearest water as long as they turn on the switch, and no feces, urine or other dirty excrement can be seen on the road."

Selena's eyes lit up: "This is good!"

"Finally, the city roads must be wide, and the widest and flattest roads must be built between Mondaniya City and Dawn City, as well as the major cities of Weilan, to transport goods, just like we did on the island."

For transportation, Rosen not only wants to build this world's highways, but also plans to build trains.

Trains are not difficult to build technically. You just need to invest money to build them.

Trains have large capacity, low transportation costs, and high speed, which can greatly promote the flow of people and goods between the provinces of Weilan.

Selena couldn't keep up with Rosen's thinking on these development details.

In fact, she always felt that her husband's thinking was particularly jumpy and his imagination was extremely rich. What was strange was that the final effect was particularly good.

"Oh~ dear, you can do it, don't tell me."

She changed her tone immediately: "But I have a worry. This will definitely cost a lot of money, right? Do we have so much money?"

Rosen laughed and raised his hand to brush his wife's wind-blown temples.

"Don't worry, dear. I will find a way to deal with the money."

He has decided to start the era of credit notes.

If there is no money, then start a printing press!

Of course, Weilan, who had just experienced the storm of fake deposit certificates, had a sharp drop in confidence in any deposit certificate-type stuff.

Even the entire Natural Alliance's bank deposit certificate business was greatly affected.

In order to restore the people's confidence, a lot of preparation work is needed.

Promoting this matter will be the main task of the Duke Rosen for a long time in the future.

If it is done well, not only can the various resources of the country be flexibly allocated, but also in the future, it can collect seigniorage from abroad and suck the blood of the Natural Alliance fiercely.

Of course, in order to achieve the latter point, a lot of work needs to be done, which is not a short-term effort.

Selena's voice came from beside him.

"My dear, these servants look clumsy, I will go and help arrange the new home."

Rosen nodded: "Go ahead, I will also focus on controlling the puppet duke in the front yard."

Selena is very familiar with the Dawn Castle, and even most of the servants in the castle. She is very good at arranging and enjoys it.

Under the guard of Alia, Rosen sat in the shaded pavilion in the garden and began to check a pile of newly collected data on Weilan.

"There are only two small civilian docks in Weilan, and they can only build wooden sailing cargo ships under 500 tons, with a total annual production capacity of 5 ships."

"There is no ability to build warships. All warships and large cargo ships are purchased from Aaron."

'Tsk~~'

Although he knew this information a long time ago, when he really saw the detailed data of the dock, Rosen still had the urge to catch Reid from Greystone Island and slap him hard.

Although Aaron has restrictions, it is good to build a few more civilian docks and train shipbuilders. Two docks and five small boats a year are a little better than nothing.

"We have to expand quickly and build enough new warships!"

Rosen can fully imagine that at most half a year, Aaron's Lion Fleet will definitely seize the opportunity to go north and take advantage of his unstable footing to hit him hard.

This is bound to happen, not because of personal will or reason, even if Danger doesn't want to do it, it's useless.

Because among Aaron's 110 million people, a huge interest group that sucks blood from Weilan has already formed, and he has completely cut off the money of this group of people.

Cutting off someone's money is like killing their parents. Danger will definitely be coerced by this huge interest group and try his best to hit Weilan.

This attack will definitely be very fierce and will be Weilan's founding battle.

If Weilan doesn't go back, then his fresh and hot duke throne will be gone.

Maybe he can survive, but he will become a dog without a home, and his family may not be much better off than the Earl of Southern County.

"Battleships must be built, and aircraft must be developed vigorously. These two national treasures must be developed with absolute resources."

"Coastal defense weapons must also be built quickly. Even if we can't win at sea, we must refuse the landing of the Lion Battleship."

Although there are already 10 new Black Stone battleships, plus more than 40 modified artillery sailing ships received from the Duke of Dawn, it is still not enough.

Because Aaron's ships are very large, there are many of them, the caliber of the muzzles is also larger, and they will definitely use the urgently developed Black Stone battleships.

Therefore, this naval battle will be a real hard battle.

Before winning the upcoming founding war, Rosen does not plan to invest too many resources in other areas, at most just to make a sample.

Rosen continues to look at the second statistical content.

‘Weilan’s official mages are worth 580,000, senior mages are worth 80,000, intermediate mages are worth 200,000, and low-level mages are worth 300,000. They are all traditional mages. Although they learn new-age magic, they are seriously out of touch with the latest achievements in magic.’

‘Informal mages with low-level magic power are worth 2.89 million. Apart from their decent magic power, they are almost all mediocre. "

Rosen smiled and said, "Very good, much better than the situation on the White Sturgeon Island~"

The White Sturgeon Island was truly poor at the beginning.

For this group of mages, Rosen's idea is to train them first and then put them on the job.

If they don't have enough ability and are unwilling to learn, then just stay where you want.

Then there is the third statistical content.

'The number of landless farmers in the south is 11.38 million, 60% of them enter the noble plantations to grow various cash crops, and 40% enter the emerging factories to become workers.'

In other words, about 4.5 million are a brand new working class, and the other 6 million or so can become workers if they are well managed.

"With the fertile land of the southern plains and the super high yield of staple food such as potatoes, there is no need for so many farmers. "

"So, I have enough workers. "

"If this group of workers can also obtain mana, then I will have a large number of mana workers, and with the assembly line, I can explode the production capacity like crazy. ”

How do workers gain mana?

Of course, it is by promoting the practice method.

The working class naturally has a high degree of organization and obedience. As long as they get the correct practice method and practice environment, a large number of mana workers will soon emerge.

"Most of Weilan's workers are farmers. The "Island Enlightenment Volume 13" is still too difficult. It needs to be simplified and a catchy formula should be compiled. "

As a ten-ring mage, Rosen knows very well how to practice most efficiently.

He also knows very well that as long as the dross is removed and the essence is retained, even the dumbest person can touch the magic ring and gain mana as long as he perseveres.

The next statistics are "A Rough Exploration of Island Resource Distribution".

"Ha~ Blackstone ore is unexpectedly rich, wow~~ so good!"

Blackstone ore is the combustion source of the new era, and in Rosen's plan, it is also an excellent fuel for the transition period.

Weilan has a very huge reserve, so there is no need to worry about being controlled by others in terms of energy.

"However, the island is still too small, and the resources are unevenly distributed. There are many resources that do not exist at all. This is probably a common problem on islands. ”

Weilan Giant Island is also an island. Of course, it is much larger than the White Sturgeon Island and has many more resources, but its shortcomings are still very obvious.

There are many mines in the new era, such as iron ore, which are pitifully scarce.

And if there is no iron ore in the new era, it is almost like a cripple.

Although many places can be replaced by tempered materials, steel can also be tempered, and the performance ceiling after tempering is very high.

Tempered steel can show performance far beyond that of high-performance steel on Earth, and naturally it can create stronger magic mechanical creations.

So iron ore is still very important.

"It seems that we have to go out to sea to grab iron ore!"

After roughly browsing the manpower and material resources of the island, he began to look at the money, or more accurately, the gold and silver currency.

'Among the properties confiscated from the earl and the great nobles, the total cash is 49.82 million Ogg. '

"The Earl of Southern County is really rich!"

This is a lot of money, but it is still far from enough to realize the construction plan of various magic industries in Rosen's mind.

'The deposit certificate that Dawn Bank needs to exchange is 31.28 million Ogg, of which 5.31 million Ogg is Levender's fake deposit certificate. '

Rosen frowned: "The little king of Levender is doing such a large-scale operation secretly!"

More than five million Oggs accounted for less than half of the Duke of Weilan's previous fiscal revenue, and Levender must be compensated.

If he doesn't pay it back, he will make the little king live in unrest.

After reading almost all the statistics, Rosen closed the statistics booklet, patted it in his hand, and said to Alia beside him:

"Hey~~Villan is so big, it's essentially Aaron's big plantation."

There's not much property to show off.

Even if there are factories, they are rough processing factories for some cash crops, and there are not even a few cotton mills.

There is no high-end magic industry.

Alia laughed: "It used to be, but it's not now, sir."

"That's right."

Stretching himself, Rosen planned to go see how Selena arranged it, but after walking a few steps, news came out from the front yard that a group of envoys from the Glorious Empire had arrived.

"Let me see the envoys of the Glorious Empire. Hmm, it's interesting, let the clone meet them in the evening."

I was very busy during the day and couldn't spare any time. I couldn't see him for a while after dinner because there were too many people who wanted to see him, and each of them was very important.

I could only arrange a meeting late at night.

Before finding out the situation, the real body does not intend to show up for the time being, because Queen Zhuoya is suspected to be a nine-ring magician, and her magic skills are very terrifying.

Although Rosen has ten rings of magic power and his own unique skills, it is not too cautious to be cautious when the king does not meet the king.
