Chapter 165 Territory Conception(1/2)

Behind Marvin is a complete map of the White River Valley.

The map was left by Ma Wen's grandfather and was personally perfected by Ma Wen's father, but by Ma Wen's generation, no other territory survey was conducted.

This map is at best a sketch.

After all, the White River Valley has expanded by at least twice.

It directly from the mines in the north to the Baihe River in the south, and from the junction with the River Beach City to the coast.

Marvin made up his mind and when today's meeting ended, he would go to Hetan City to find two map surveyors to draw a detailed map of the White River Valley.

But now, just use it.

Daniela was not at all stage frightened, and seemed to really treat herself as Marvin's fiancée.

She walked to Marvin's location and pointed to the coastline on the map and said:

"Are you going to build a port here?"

Marvin nodded: "That's true."

"It's better to go south."

Her slender fingers went down the coastline and pointed to the mouth of the Baihe River.

"It is most appropriate to establish a port in this place. You can develop maritime trade outside and inside. As far as I know, the inland rivers in the south of your south are also very deep."

"I went to Baihe when I was bored a few days ago. The river surface was wide and the river water was very slow, but the water was very deep, and many sea boats were driving up."

"If you build a port here and then repair the previous abandoned marina, you can completely open up the east and west directions of your territory."

Daniela talked tactfully.

Marvin nodded and said, "I planned so too at the beginning."

"However, the geology at the mouth of the White Valley is very poor and it is very unsuitable to establish a port. Because of the erosion of the river, it is very difficult to establish a city on that land. What's more, it is closer to the wilderness."

Daniela said confidently: "This problem is for me."

"Isn't it just that the soil is softer? As long as you feel at ease, you will definitely see a brand new port in half a year!"

Everyone was skeptical of Daniela's words.

The only alchemist who came to join in the fun suddenly said, "Is steel and stone powder?"

Daniela looked at the alchemist with some surprise: "It's not bad, there are talents who know [steel stone powder] in such a countryside."

The corners of Marvin's mouth twitched slightly.

It seems like I don’t know about steel and stone powder. However, the price and channels of that thing are something that the current White River Valley cannot afford?

But he thought about it carefully. What Daniela said was not unreasonable.

The mouth of the Baihe River is indeed a very important strategic location. If you can occupy this place, it will be very convenient not only for the outside but also for the inside.

He pondered for a moment: "What if I want you to build the port within three months?"

Daniela shrugged: "The budget is to double."

Marvin nodded. Daniela's estimation ability is still very strong. Building a brand new port requires a lot of manpower and material resources. It requires a lot of money.

After the port is established, you still need enough ships.

At present, Marvin only had one stolen from the South - this ship was sent to deal with them as early as after the war.

Most of the slaves chose to leave on their own, and a small number of them stayed there. Marvin asked them to live in the east of the White River Valley, near the New Port.

They may become the first residents of the new port. The South Door silently docked on the beach and started the first phase of renovation work.

Engineers from River Beach City have begun to make an overall transformation of the South.

The transformation period takes about one month. After the transformation is completed, the Southern Sea will completely become another ship-at least in appearance. Even if the Taurus Chamber of Commerce wants to say anything, there is no way. Because once it breaks apart with Marvin on the surface, Marvin can completely accuse them of private slave trade.

The Southern Wizards Alliance does not explicitly prohibit the slave trade, but must have a license. Obviously, the Southern does not have such a license, so it can only disguise itself as a merchant ship to transport slaves secretly. Anyway, Marvin is not as hard as he was at the beginning. The White River Valley is gradually growing stronger. I am not afraid that the Taurus Chamber of Commerce will come to him.

...

In the following time, Marvin took the initiative to sit next to him, while Daniela became the protagonist of the meeting.

Every point of comments put forward by Marvin has been improved.

The northern mine will continue to start construction. According to the information left by Ma Wen’s father, there is not only a deep iron vein inside the northern mine, but also other veins that may be associated with it.

However, due to the economic shortage of the White River Valley, miners have been in short supply.

Daniela's opinion on this is to buy slaves. And to buy them in large quantities.

"Building a territory requires manpower. The cost of a slave is one-fifth of that of a free man. Although their lifespan is a little shorter, the benefits are much higher than hiring miners." Daniela said calmly: "I don't know the market in the south, but in the north, this is the common practice for us."

"If you want to leave a reputation for kindness, it's very simple to give these slaves a promise: to work hard for three years and become a free man automatically."

"For most people you just need to give them a little hope and will work hard for you."

"This is different from the slaves you released before. The slaves on that ship were southerners, and most of them were children and women, and you promised them freedom. The slaves you need to buy were young and strong men. Wars often occurred between northern city-states, and many people became slaves when they were defeated and captured. I know there is a place that is the best place to buy these slaves."

Before Daniela could finish her speech, Marvin added lightly: "Sea Port."

The former nodded in praise: "It seems that you, the lord, were not in vain."

Marvin sighed. As a person who has received higher civilization education, he is indeed very resistant to slavery.

But in this situation, if Daniela does not follow the method of the method, there is no way to quickly build the territory.

He is not a sage. He cannot help everyone. As Daniela said, he does need a group of young, strong and obedient slaves.

...

After talking about the northern mines and the new port, Daniela's eyes turned to the south.

I have to say that although she stayed in the White River Valley for a short time, she basically learned about the territory.

South of the White River is a very fertile land. It only has more monsters that will harass residents.

With the staff of the security forces, there is no way to clean up all these monsters.

But Daniela proposed another solution.

Create [Adventurer Camp].

Set up an adventurer camp just west of the White River. Near River Beach City.

Here, a village-like place is built for adventurers to rest, replenish supplies, repair weapons... and vent their desires.

This idea had been brewing in Marvin's mind for a long time. But Daniela was able to come up with it in such a short time. It has to be said that this future Snow Queen does have the ability to govern a country.

Marvin had a plan for how to build the specific facilities of the Adventurer Camp.

The plan is also very simple: ask for it from Hetan City.

Anyway, the deal between Medierli and him is still continuing. Marvin now has to grit her teeth and agree to any request for River Beach City.

Now if you don’t take advantage of the situation and squeeze it, should you wait until she is promoted to the legend before asking for it?

...

According to Daniela's idea, once the adventurer camp is established, it can effectively place adventurers who were attracted by the wild pioneering order.

They can start exploring the south. It is a wilderness. But once the popularity gathers, they will gradually expel the wilderness.

Marvin can appropriately issue some monster hunting orders, so that the bounty hunters who come here to hunt monsters will be like crucian carp trees crossing the river. They will continue to come.

Moreover, there are indeed many economically beneficial monsters in the south of Baihe River. If you kill them, the adventurers can make a fortune themselves.

This place will become the southernmost adventurer paradise on the continent.

...

In addition, the recruitment of Rangers and Sentinels was also put on the agenda by Daniela.

Because in her conception, such a vast territory must be established to establish sufficient defense mechanisms. Otherwise, it would be too easy for the enemy to infiltrate.

"Here, here, here, here. The most important thing here is... you must build a sentry tower."

The place where Daniela pointed to her fingertips was the top of Ogre Mountain.

As she said, the geographical location here is very superior, overlooking the entire White River Valley. You can see the location of the Spider Crypt in the north, the Future Adventurer Camp in the south, the River Beach City in the east, and the New Port in the west.

This place must have a daily duty post.

As for the other places Daniela refers to, they are also important.

Marvin looked at Daniela more and more with appreciation.

Although this girl is younger than herself, her strategic vision is terrible.

"Now, do you believe me?"

She blinked and looked at Marvin: "I am a woman who can draw architectural drawings at the age of four."

Marvin finally made the decision: "Okay, you can improve the overall design plan."

At this moment, the rest of the people finally couldn't sit still.

Seeing Marvin and Daniela go back and forth for a long time, Anna and Winnie couldn't help asking:
To be continued...
