From Baron's Second Son to Dragon Rider
Chapter 166 It feels so good to spend money! (1/5) Thanks to kdyf for the extra chapter.
Krober and his party were sailing on the sea.
Unlike when they came, there were only a few empty warships.
When they returned, the whole team had undergone earth-shaking changes.
That was a huge fleet consisting of nearly thirty ships.
The fleet was full of wealth and glory, and was about to cross the Hurricane Strait and return to their hometown.
Due to the expansion of the fleet and the increase in cargo carried, the speed of the group was obviously much slower than when they came.
But this did not affect their inner enthusiasm and expectations.
On the contrary, this period of time gave them more opportunities to experience this hard-won achievement.
They couldn't hold back their excitement and shared their inner thoughts with their companions beside them.
"Hey, I say, I remember that your team was assigned to the task of moving property at that time? Did you..."
One of the older soldiers found a familiar friend and planned to ask him the questions he was concerned about.
The soldier he asked shook his head.
"We are indeed responsible for carrying those gold coins, but we dare not touch even one cent. Lord Foster asked us to report each other.
As long as someone finds other soldiers stealing things, they can report it. Not only can they take the stolen property for themselves, but they can also get a generous reward.
I was afraid of being reported, so I didn't dare to take any."
This mutual reporting system was taught to Foster by Krober, which can effectively prevent soldiers from embezzling.
And this measure is indeed very useful. The soldiers responsible for carrying did not dare to take advantage of their positions to secretly take advantage.
And the personnel in charge of guarding are naturally the same. They report each other and don't have to worry about the loss of items on the ship during the voyage.
After a few days of sailing, Krober and his party finally returned to Black Feather Island.
Such a large fleet naturally attracted the attention of the Black Feather Island patrol.
But when they got closer and saw Krober himself and his rose flag, they realized that it was their lord's army that had been out on a mission some time ago.
But they were curious about why their lord had three warships when he went out, but when he came back, he had almost thirty warships.
Did he buy dozens of warships wholesale?
The soldiers didn't know, and they didn't dare to ask. Anyway, the identity of the fleet had been figured out, so it was better to lead the fleet to the port directly.
Since Black Feather Island was only a small island, the scope of the port construction was not large, and there were many merchant ships parked at the port, which made it impossible for all these ships to dock at the port.
So Krober decided to delegate some of the ships that were not loaded with cargo to the patrol team to start the sea patrol work.
The remaining ships docked at the port one after another.
After the ship stabilized, the soldiers on the ship began to move out all the gold, silver and treasures in the cabin, and used carts to transport all these things to the castle of Black Feather Island one by one.
At this time, Krober was holding several reports that he had annotated on Amethyst Island.
"Well... the establishment of Samuel's intelligence agency can be put on the agenda."
Drawing a symbol of agreement on the plan, Klober signed his name. With this signature, Klober's purse flew out of 100,000 gold coins.
"The naval expansion plan proposed by Akkad can also be implemented. The number of ships we have robbed is just enough. It is easy to form a full fleet."
He also annotated Akkad's plan, but the cost this time was not as high as Samuel's.
"Shipyard, forging workshop, and ordnance department, all built!"
Why rob money?
Because there is no money!
Why no money?
Because the money was used to build the territory.
Now that the money has been robbed, it is natural to continue to build the territory.
All the things that should be there must be there, and Klober must work hard to have the things that are not there!
At present, most of the buildings on Amethyst Island have not been built yet. Klober's Rose Castle is still in a long construction period, and it is expected to take a long time to complete the construction.
The most advanced one at present is the Amethyst Island Primary School. Krober attaches great importance to it because he knows how important talents are to a ruler.
Therefore, he gave the first priority to the Amethyst Island Primary School without hesitation.
According to the normal construction speed, the school is expected to be completed in more than a month.
Once completed, it will become a cradle for cultivating talents and provide a steady stream of excellent talents for Krober's territory.
These talents are future officers and officials, and they are the key forces to maintain the stability and development of the territory.
"Mr. Foster, please help me put up a reward and say that I want to recruit a magician who is proficient in alchemy and potions. The price is not a problem, as long as there is technology."
It's the same sentence just now. Krober can't do without talents at present.
At present, Krober is only one requirement away from the title of earl.
The Golden Grand Duchy and the Emerald Kingdom have the same aristocratic system. When there is a single earth knight in one family, they are generally conferred as viscounts.
Only families with multiple or more nobles can have the opportunity to be promoted to earls.
Currently, there are very few people in the territory who can break through to the Earth Knight. It may not even take a year for Grandpa Foster to break through to the Great Knight.
So it is very unlikely that Grandpa will break through to the Earth Knight in a short time.
In addition to Grandpa, there is only one Great Knight left, Yan.
Although Yan is not bad, his talent is worse than Grandpa Foster, and the probability of breaking through to the Earth Knight is not high.
"Forget it, the boat will naturally straighten itself when it reaches the bridge..."
After thinking for a long time, Krober did not think of any good way, so he could only take one step at a time and act according to circumstances.
After processing all the documents on hand, those guys who asked Krober for money were also allocated a sum of money.
"Forget it... continue to buy thousands of slaves, and quickly make the three islands take shape as soon as possible, so that their territory can play a greater value."
Krober frowned and thought.
At present, he knew nothing about the development of the other three islands, and he didn't even know whether the three islands had been initially developed.
Building a new island naturally costs money, and Kroeber waved his hand and allocated 100,000 gold coins to buy slaves, tools and other supplies.
Although this money seems not much, in fact, there is still a lot left after buying slaves and tools.
And Kroeber moved his pen and reviewed the documents, and 500,000 or 600,000 gold coins left his treasure house.
But he didn't feel sad at all, but felt an indescribable sense of comfort.
