Struggle in the Steam Age

Early the next morning, a four-masted sailing ship from the Republic of Xinzhou docked on the temporary pier built by the pontoon. Then unloaded hundreds of wooden boxes. With the arrival of the ship there was also a young Aurora head. If Lawrence remembers correctly, he should have seen this young man in Zhu's house before.

"Thanks for your hard work." After the handover, Lawrence and the person in charge shook hands and thanked him, and then asked with some doubts: "I should have only ordered about 300 boxes of arms from Zhu Yan, but why? Brought me more than 600 boxes of arms this time?"

"Because this business is reported to our family elders association, the family elders will decide to export these weapons to you at the cost price." The person in charge said, "Considering the reason why weapons are difficult to buy in your place, we will simply give you I prepared some more weapons."

"Thank you so much, then." Lawrence shook hands with the person in charge again, and then invited him to lunch with himself. As for why the Zhu family is willing to sell these weapons and munitions at a cost price, Lawrence is also very clear, that is, hope to have a good relationship with the upstart who owns the territory.

For a large family that has been passed down for a long time, establishing enough interpersonal relationships is a very important reason why they can exist in this world for so many years. Similarly, they also understand that icing on the cake is far inferior to giving charcoal in the snow, so they gave such a big gift just after Lawrence came to this island.

Naturally, Lawrence will remember this sentiment, and with sufficient weapons, he can arm as many people as possible so that he can bring more casualties to the goblin in the process of chasing and killing the goblin.

And in the afternoon of this day, when Lawrence started to be a little worried. Safir finally took the others to the bay on a sailboat. Unexpectedly, in addition to the three sailing boats mentioned earlier, dozens of tattered boats followed. At the same time, every small boat seemed to be crowded with people, and even the decks could see dense heads.

"You finally came." After the ship docked, Lawrence excitedly embraced Syfiel who was the first to jump off the ship. "You finally came. Didn't you say that you would come here at noon? Why are you here now? I have been worried about you from noon until now."

"Don't worry, it's okay." Syphile padded his feet and kissed Lawrence's cheek and said, taking a step back. "It's just that I had some accidents, so I came late."

"Unexpected?" After hearing these words, Lawrence immediately took a step back and looked at Syfiel up and down, and said to him at the same time. "You didn't hurt anything, did you?"

"Where did you think of it?" Seeing Lawrence's nervous expression, Syfiel laughed out loud. "The accident I was talking about was actually the task you asked me to recruit. I did a little too successfully. As for it took more time to get here after setting sail this morning."

The establishment of a territory is not enough simply by relying on those strong labors, so a variety of professionals are needed to help plan or do something else. Therefore, after receiving the telegram from Lawrence, Safir began to recruit those professionals who must be required by a territory in Eagle Fort.

In fact, if Lawrence's uncle hadn't given up his territory after being controlled by evil magic by the second prince, he could bring all those professionals directly from Sauer. But now that he has given up his territory for two years, he can only request some foreign aid.

Fortunately, because of the great academic achievements of Lawrence and the factory established in Eagle Fort, Safir easily hired the professionals from Eagle Fort who are lacking now. There are even some professionals who are willing to directly immigrate with their families.

For example, Liszt, the doctor who had participated in his first adventure since crossing with Lawrence, and then co-authored the crucial paper on infection and prevention methods, took his parents and fiancée directly with Syfiel. Get up to the island of New Sauer.

Another example is Jimmy, the skilled worker in the Lawrence factory who also brought his wife and a pair of children to this island.

The reason these people are willing to immigrate is because Lawrence got along well with them before and has seen his powerful side. Therefore, it is believed that Lawrence's promise to them will be fulfilled, and this development will also be successful. They come here early to get the largest share of the benefits as entrepreneurs.

On the other hand, because Lawrence is kind to them, he is willing to come over to help him at this time. Help him complete the control of this island.

"Then what's the matter with the small boats behind your ship?" After discovering that the people on the big boat had basically disembarked and went to the camp, Lawrence pointed to the long chain behind the big boat that was about to grab the beach directly. The boat asked Syfiel. "You probably didn't bring these ships from Eagle Fort. I don't think these ships are too far from the coastline."

"It's not true. The people on these boats were all voluntarily followed after we arrived in Tanas Town." Said Safir looked at the boat that was approaching the stall and began to get down. "Now the land reclamation over there has reached its limit, but the population is still growing. So they rushed over voluntarily when they heard that you were going to open up wasteland."

Following the introduction of Syfiel, Lawrence also figured out what happened to the group of more than 1,500 people who are now lined up on the beach to be disinfected according to the orders of the guards.

Although they did not occupy the good place of Niujiaowan in the previous several times of development, they still successfully established a series of small and medium-sized colonies in other places, and at the same time attracted many people from their own territory to colonize the territory. .

But as the development boom receded and the lord gave up, the island never developed. But the serfs and poor leaders who first migrated here can only carry on this place. After all, although the conditions here are a bit more difficult, at any rate, I can have land here that my hometown doesn’t have and I can still eat.

But as the population continued to grow, the territory that seemed to be plentiful before slowly became cramped. And these people living on the territory are difficult to unite because they are distributed in multiple territories and have different origins. And gather enough abilities to open up new territories.

So after Syfiel rushed to Tanas Town and announced that there was a new lord on the island who was preparing to open up a new territory~www.ltnovel.com~ In less than a week, more than 1,000 families followed her Come on an adventure.

After all, according to these people's ideas, if they stay in the original place, it is likely that another generation or two will not even have enough to eat. So they simply came over and had a go.

If you can win the largest seaside plain on the entire island, then you will not have to worry about not having enough food for at least several generations. Even if this piece of land cannot be taken, the pioneers will open up a smaller piece of land in other places according to the previous practice to try to get a foothold here, and they can also obtain new land.

So these people first let their families stay in place, and at the same time pulled out almost all the young and middle-aged men who came here on these small broken ships, trying to participate in the construction of this territory from the beginning.

"In other words, they are willing to be my direct captains?" Lawrence asked slightly surprised. According to the rules, since he became the new Earl of Sauer, everyone on the island can be counted as his captain, but It is completely different like the direct leader.

According to tradition, the direct leader is equivalent to the lord’s tenant, and the degree of freedom is much worse than that of the ordinary leader, so Lawrence is curious why some people are willing to become his own direct leader voluntarily.
