What is it like to be a teacher as a magister?

Chapter 233 Guests
"I walked around the city early in the morning, and I have to say that you are much better than Oliver." The Duke of Violet looked at his son-in-law, with relief on his serious face.

"Just do what you can." Colin said modestly.

"Before Master Roman and I came here, we also stopped by Qiuyuan City. It seems that the scale there will be even bigger."

"Yes, Uncle Fairmont." Colin nodded: "The location of Qiuyuan City is exactly in the center of Xia Ya, not only can it gather more people, but it will also be the largest transportation hub in the future, so the scale will be larger than that of Mu Dong. The city is much bigger."

"Looks like you've got everything planned."

"Just a little idea."

"What direction are you planning to develop next?" Fairmont asked.

"My idea is that after the wedding, I will send people to the north to reopen the deserted Starwind Port."

Xia Ya's land is long and narrow, from the Longji Mountains in the south to the Horseshoe Sea in the north. The only outlet to the sea is Xingfeng Port.

It only takes two days to arrive at the nearest Principality of Brighton by boat from Starwind Port.

There are almost no pirates in the Horseshoe Sea, but Duke Oliver, who needs to concentrate his strength in the fortress, is unable to maintain a port. What's more, the original Xia Ya has no need to have a port, after all, there is not much maritime trade.

"Are you going to develop at sea?"

"Yes." Colin said: "Especially knowing that Brighton may break away from the Youlan Alliance, maybe Xia Ya can establish a maritime trade route with them."

Fairmont said: "At first, I was not very optimistic about this point. After all, building a port is not such an easy task, but after seeing the construction of Twilight City and Akihara City, maybe this is not a difficult task for you."

"The people under me really have a lot of experience in building houses and building roads." Ke Lin said with a smile: "However, we still need your support, Uncle Fairmont."

"My support?"

"Yes." Colin nodded: "There is nothing wrong with building a port, but with a port, it is meaningless without ships, so..."

When he said this, he smiled a little embarrassedly: "Uncle Fairmont, I know that you have commanded the navy for many years, you must have talents in this field, and almost no one in Xia Ya can build ships."

Shipbuilding is not an easy task, nor can it be learned by reading a few books. Many things in terms of experience must go through countless trials and errors before they can learn.

Maybe with Ke Lin's understanding, he can also start Xia Ya's shipbuilding industry by studying it himself for a period of time, but it will obviously waste a lot of his time.

Anyway, my father-in-law has a better choice here, so why bother to spend more time on my own.

Ke Lin is already very experienced in gnawing on the old, and he doesn't take advantage of the old man's advantage.

There is a sea of ​​horseshoes between Tulum and the greatest enemy Osik, so when Duke Violet was in the army, he spent most of his time in commanding naval operations.

"I'm afraid you need more than just shipbuilders." Fairmont seemed to have seen through his mind.

Colin chuckled: "It would be even better if there were enough sailors and generals who are familiar with naval warfare. You know, although Roderick and the defenders of the fortress are good at fighting, they have no knowledge of naval warfare." experience."

"I can provide talents in both areas." Fairmont didn't hesitate much, as if he had thought of this matter long ago, and said, "But the number will not be many, after all, the navy needs enough strength to defend against Osik."

"It doesn't take a lot." Ke Lin was not greedy, and said with a smile, "I believe that Xia Ya's people are very capable of learning."

……

……

The day of the wedding finally came.

February fourteenth.

This is the wedding date set as early as two months ago.

Ke Lin didn't know if this was a coincidence, but he was a little excited to be married for the first time in his two lifetimes.

But the experience of being picked up from the bed by the senior sister before dawn is not very good.

After a little breakfast, Colin sat there to be fiddled with.

Genuine aristocratic costumes are more complicated than women's, with so many decorations that they are heavy, and in terms of weight, they are probably not much lighter than a set of armor.What Colin couldn't accept the most was that there were a few tall colorful feathers stuck on top of the ridiculously tall hat, which looked like a peacock courting.

No wonder I heard from Veronica last time that it took more than half an hour to wear her princess dress. Now it seems that that is not an exaggeration at all. In short, Colin has been sitting there for an hour, and it feels like it has just begun. A group of people are He was running around, very busy.

Colin was bored, thinking that Veronica should be in the same state as him now.

Tessa was the most caring person in the entire wedding. As the groom's senior sister, she really did everything by herself. Until early this morning, she was still arguing with the ceremony officer about certain details of the wedding.

From eight o'clock in the morning, another batch of congratulatory guests arrived.

First, Dadamir sent the king's daughter Anisa to congratulate and watch the ceremony. The 19-year-old princess came with full sincerity. The gift was one-twentieth of Dadamir's annual ore production and enough The Emerald Lake specialty white pine fish used in the wedding - this fish itself is not expensive, but the long-distance transportation makes the cost skyrocket.The congratulatory gifts had already arrived in Winterfell a few days before the wedding.

Dadamir, who was about to withdraw from the battle, regained his foothold in Emerald Lake with Xia Ya's large supply of supplies, and even beat several other opponents to the point of being helpless, but the opponent also had a backer, the West Continent Once the support was in place, the two sides fell into a stalemate again, but compared with before, Dadamir controlled a much larger area.

The great nobles in Tulun also expressed more or less that although only one representative was sent to attend the wedding due to the long distance, the gift money of all people added together was also a considerable income.

What Ke Lin didn't expect was that the conservative nobles of the Duke of Valander's family actually sent someone to come, and the congratulatory gifts they gave were no worse than others.

Since the unification of the entire Xia Ya, there have been irreconcilable conflicts between Colin Wayne and Duke Valante. In addition, because Roman Sagan's disciple status is considered to be a diehard loyalist of the king's line, the two sides are almost at odds. Do it directly, but you still have to be polite on the surface.

A better example for this is the Empire of Orthic.

The young imperial emperor sent a pair of statues made of pure gold through the officials of the Osik embassy in Thunder City. It looks like Colin and Veronica. The pair of full-length statues are wearing The wedding dress, almost half a person tall, glistened in the sun.
