After letting Gavinrad and Gryan Stoutmantle visit the military camp, Varian walked west along the Daggerridge Valley. He was surprised to find that only a few kilometers out of the Daggerridge Valley was the west coast of the Western Plains - Long Beach.

He was at the edge of the fertile western wilderness. Before he reached the beach below, he could see several small islands in the water. From the original book, he vaguely remembered that there was a western wilderness lighthouse there.

But at this moment there is no Westfall Lighthouse.

Since the Dagger Ridge base is so close to the sea, why not build a port? In the Heroes of Might and Magic castle system, there is a dock building.

So I checked and found that building a dock would require 2000 gold coins and 20 units of wood, which is not expensive.

I tried the system in my mind and found that this place is still within the coverage of the base and can be built.

So they decided to build it. After a flash of light, a dock appeared on the seashore near Dagger Ridge, at the location of the lighthouse in the western wilderness in the previous life.

A dock is similar to a small port, with many places for ships to dock.

Varian looked at the ships in the dock and found that they only required 1000 gold coins and 10 units of wood.

The ships built in this shipyard are a bit like the cargo ships manufactured in Nanhai Town. They are about one hundred meters long and thirty to forty meters wide, and can accommodate two hundred to two hundred and fifty people.

It can be used as a fishing boat, or it can be transformed into a warship at a blacksmith shop.

However, if you want to modify the warship, it is best to cooperate with the dwarves. Their artillery technology is much stronger than that of the Storm Kingdom.

Of course, there is no rush for warships. His current idea is to build a batch of fishing boats and develop the marine economy.

Now the Stormwind Kingdom can't even control the land of the Western Plains, let alone the long coastline of the Western Plains.

But the long beach is rich in resources, including many beach crabs, sea crabs, and clams, and is rich in pearls.

There are still many marine fish in the sea, so we can vigorously expand the marine industry and develop marine trade.

In this way, Varian does not need to compete with Stormwind for resources, and he solves his own financial problem. More importantly, he can also expand his food sources.

In order to protect the safety of the dock, Varian arranged ten halberd soldiers and five sharpshooters from the base to come to the dock.

The only thing left is the population problem! It's a pity that the Heroes of Might and Magic system doesn't have buildings that produce peasants.

He had to go to Yuexi Town to recruit some people to catch crabs here and fish in the sea.

Of course, the dock will eventually be expanded. Now it is just a small dock that can produce and berth ships, but it is far from enough. Varian wants to build it into a large port city, at least larger than Southsea Town.

Why is Varian so confident?

Because Varian knew that with the Heroes of Might and Magic system, as long as there was a second market near the base, he could build a second supply warehouse, and he could build as many as he wanted.

In other words, as long as they are near the base, that is, near Congress, all buildings can be built without limit, including barracks and material warehouses.

This system is amazing.

Building a large port city is a slow process and requires a lot of money. Now I can only rely on the shipyard, engage in some marine business, and make some money.

Take the long view, take the long view.

After returning to Dagger Ridge Castle, Gryan Stoutmantle said to Varian excitedly, "Your Highness, I just went to the barracks to study and fight with the swordsmen. I feel that my understanding and skills have improved very quickly! I want to study here for a few more days.

"It's okay, you can stay here as long as you want," Varian said.

Gavinrad also said: "I was training in the Knights' training ground just now. The effect is much better than the training ground in Stormwind City. My strength has increased a lot. I also need to train more."

"The military facilities here are originally used for training. Any soldier from Stormwind Kingdom who is interested can come here for free training. If you have any relatives, friends, or former colleagues who want to come, you can ask them to come to Dagger Ridge Fortress for training." Varian was very happy. The military facilities of the base can improve the strength of the soldiers. Dagger Ridge will soon become a holy place for military training.

Then the supporting facilities must be prepared. The castle is very large and can accommodate many soldiers who come for training. It can be expanded when it can no longer accommodate them in the later stage.

However, in terms of food, drink and supplies, we can recruit some chefs from Yuexi Town and set up a large canteen next to the system market. We can make some money, and the market can also sell some daily necessities to increase income.

Varian thought about it and started writing a job advertisement on paper. After a while, he finished it and looked at his job advertisement with satisfaction.

Dagger Ridge Fortress (Recruitment)

Recruitment positions: Captain, crew member, sailor, fisherman, crab catcher, chef, market salesperson.

Job requirements: relevant work experience

Work location: Long Beach, West Wilderness, near the sea

Salary: Negotiable. Food, clothing, housing and transportation are all free

Interview location: Dagger Ridge Fortress

Varian called a soldier and asked him to go to Moonbrook Town to find the person in charge of the Moonbrook Daily News to publish the advertisement. If nothing goes wrong, the residents of Moonbrook Town will be able to see it tomorrow.

Someone should come to apply for the job tomorrow. Where will the workers at the shipyard live? Varian thought about it and decided to build another castle tomorrow at the western exit of the Dagger Ridge Valley, not far from the shipyard. It can be used as a military defense facility and as a temporary dormitory for employees.

We will build a material warehouse next to the dock the day after tomorrow, and then build a market the day after that, and the dock will be able to operate normally.

At that time, the sea fish caught by fishing boats and the crabs caught on the shore can be stored in the supply warehouse.

Wheat, wild boar meat, mountain dog meat, linen, wool, morning dew wine and other products can also be sold in the market for purchase by passing ships, thus slowly expanding the trade.

After finishing this task, Varian finally had some free time and walked into the magic guild.

I still need to improve my strength. If you have nothing to do, it’s good to stay in the Magic Guild and strive to become an eighth-level or even ninth-level magician as soon as possible.

In fact, he really wanted to upgrade the current level 3 magic guild to a level 4 magic guild, where he would have many powerful magics to learn. However, after looking at the system resources, he postponed it and decided to upgrade it later when he had more money.

Now we are busy with construction and producing soldiers all day long, and the gold coins are really running out. In addition, we are still short of several resources, mainly crystal, mercury and sulfur. Now it costs thousands of gold coins to exchange one unit of resources in the system market. It is too much of a loss. Varian really doesn't want to do such a loss-making business.

Even if you go directly to the market to purchase resources, you probably won’t spend so many gold coins.
