Chapter 92 Ocean Strategy
It wasn't that Barel was shirking his responsibility, but speaking of shipbuilding...
This is his first time!
Bruno pointed at the parchment scroll in Barel's hand and said, "The specific steps are all written here. If you strictly follow the steps here, there will be no mistakes. As for the manpower... after the repair of Namur Fortress, won't those production teams be idle? You can allocate them according to the situation."
"Also, there should be some civilians who can build fishing boats at the fishing port. Although they have only built small fishing boats before, there are always some top-notch ones who can help you with your advice. You can just make do with them for now. Besides, after the Idar Avenue is built, the next road to be built will connect Idar City and the fishing port, so you don't have to run back and forth."
"yes."
Seeing that the Earl had made up his mind, White Barrell had no choice but to go ahead even though he was a little nervous.
After all, he was the only one in the entire Idar Territory who had the experience of supervising the implementation of a project.
If I keep refusing, it will make my master unhappy.
"In addition, I also plan to build a shipyard at the fishing port in Idar Territory. In other words, your mission this time is not only to build a few three-masted sailing ships for me, but also to train a group of qualified craftsmen who understand and can build ships, laying the foundation for the establishment of a shipyard in Idar Territory in the future."
In Bruno's opinion, since there are the Fran Islands in the sea east of Idar, there must be other islands, and it is even possible that there are undiscovered continents.
Therefore, when it is difficult for Idar Territory to expand its land area effectively, expanding to the ocean will undoubtedly become Idar Territory's best option.
This is just like when Bruno was playing with fruit teeth in the previous life, because Kaka next to him was too awesome, he was forced to look at the sea and expand overseas...
Therefore, Bruno also set a small goal for himself, which is to completely control the Fran Islands and gradually erode the pirates entrenched in the waters near the Norman Empire and the Kingdom of Basel! As for the purpose, of course, it is to replace them!
When all the pirates are almost wiped out by Lord Idar, Lord Idar's warships can hang the black skull flag and sail freely in the ocean! Bruno felt his blood boiling when he thought of this!
Is there a more profitable business than this? Of course there is! To be honest, ever since Bruno realized the existence of the Fran Islands, a new idea gradually came to his mind and gradually improved over time.
The two major prerequisites for the implementation of this plan are that the Idar Territory must first have enough sailing ships capable of sailing on the sea and eliminate most of the pirate groups near the coast!
Then, with the Fran Islands as the center, the goods produced in Idar that may arouse the covetousness of others can be transported to the Kingdom of Basel through the route to achieve a gorgeous transformation from export to domestic sales! As for the ships that have transported the goods, they can completely hang the skull flag on the return journey and harvest another wave of leeks from the Kingdom of Basel.
After all, they were going to be robbed by Basel's local pirates. In this case, it would be better to be harvested by the Idar people, so that they can save their lives and ships.
Therefore, a shipyard is a must! The fishing port with a superior geographical location will undoubtedly be the best choice for building a shipyard. Not only does it have a deep-water port that is very suitable for ships to dock, but it also gathers a large population. It is not an exaggeration to call it the second largest "city" in Idar Territory.
The establishment of a shipyard cannot tolerate any carelessness, because Bruno cannot always exchange blueprints from the system mall, and this requires Idar Territory to have the ability to independently train shipbuilding craftsmen! Only by achieving such a virtuous cycle can Idar Territory develop better.
However, it is indeed a bit too far to think about these future events now. We need to build the three-masted sailing ship first before we can plan for future events.
When White Barrel was about to leave, Bruno seemed to suddenly remember something and said, "There is a Captain Jack imprisoned in the dungeon of the castle. When you go to build the ship, ask someone to take him with you... Although he is a pirate, he can still be used. Just let the soldiers keep an eye on him."
"As you wish, my lord," White Barrell responded.
…
After waking up, Kalio felt that his head was still dizzy, which was probably because he drank a lot of strong liquor on his first try.
In fact, he couldn't remember how much alcohol he had drunk before, and he didn't even know where he was now.
Where is this? Thinking of this, Kalio was startled and sat up from the bed.
This is a simply decorated room with a bed, a desk, a chair and two cabinets. Although the furnishings look ordinary, it is exceptionally clean.
It seemed that someone outside the door heard the noise coming from the room, and there was a knock on the door.
"Master, it's me!"
Hearing the familiar voice of his servant, Kallio breathed a sigh of relief.
"Come in!" He rubbed his still heavy head and said softly.
Kallio's personal servant came in.
"Where is this?" asked Kallio.
"Master, you went into that tavern yesterday and got so drunk that you fell asleep on the table... Fortunately, there is an inn next to the tavern, so I took the initiative to send you here..." the servant said cautiously.
"It's okay, you did a good job..."
Kalio's face flushed involuntarily, and he felt a little embarrassed. He had drunk all kinds of wine before, but he didn't expect to have such a bad experience in Idar...
But having said that, the strong liquor produced by Lord Idar is indeed amazing.
Although he was a little uncomfortable when he first drank it and felt a burning sensation in his throat, after drinking a few glasses, he actually liked the feeling.
Compared with the vodka and whiskey here, Kallio felt that the beer, wine and other things he drank before were just a bunch of garbage.
I don’t know… whether I made any fool of myself after getting drunk…
"Go and prepare the carriage. I want to go visit the Earl."
Kallio's original purpose of coming to Idar Territory was to seek an opportunity to make a comeback, and now... he is full of confidence in everything in Idar Territory.
If I could get the Earl's permission to sell the liquor I drank yesterday...
Kallio just felt that his future was full of hope again.
