"Why not?" Scott breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this: "Draw more copies, so that it will be convenient for us to use in the future."

Albert quickly bowed and replied, "Please rest assured, I'll leave this matter to me."

Scott nodded with satisfaction, then shouted to the outside, "Galen, find a small courtyard for Albert and his family in the mansion for them to live in and serve them well."

Garen responded, ran in quickly and took Albert's family down.

After seeing off Albert's family, before Scott turned around and sat down, a soldier walked in with a group of people: "Master, I've found you the people you need. These people are fishermen who specialize in fishing."

Scan the people and Scott said with satisfaction: "It's great, take them all down and arrange a place for them in Norwich first, and then I will meet them in person and arrange a job for them."

"yes."

…………

Over the last few days, the soldiers always brought Scott a variety of talents, such as fishermen, wool textile workers, bow and arrow makers, iron swaggers, etc.

Looking at the registered names, Leo couldn't help but sigh: "Master, I didn't expect that there are so many talents in our Norfolk area."

Looking at the map, Scott felt sad: "Yes, it's a pity that these talents were buried in the hands of those nobles before and were not reused. Now they should use their abilities to add help to the development of our Norfolk. By the way, have all the people arranged it?"

Leo took out the document and handed it to Scott and said, "According to the Master's instructions, we have moved all our people to the suburbs of Norwich, North Norfolk, and Great Yarmouth. The farmland they have distributed is mainly concentrated in the mainland. All land on both sides of the river embankment and the coastal areas have been vacant, and we are waiting for the Master to plan and develop."

"How much land can each household be divided into?" Scott asked again.

Leo hurriedly replied: "Every household is almost divided into two acres of land. I believe that a lot of labor will be vacant in this way."

Scott pointed to the map and said, "Well, in the days to come, you should send trustworthy people to various places as soon as possible to be the chiefs there, and in short, you should maintain the current stable situation as soon as possible."

"Yes, Master!" Leo bowed and replied: "By the way, Master, since a large amount of manpower was controlled by various nobles in the past, we were always restricted when recruiting troops. Now these people have been completely released. So should we also take this opportunity to increase some troops to defend our Norfolk?"

"There is really no need for this at the moment." Scott shook his head and rejected Leo's proposal: "We don't have extra money to increase our troops. We should build Norfolk as soon as possible."

After all, the domestic situation in the Kingdom of England is relatively stable, and there will be no major turmoil in a short period of time, so there is really no need to increase troops at this moment.

You should know that once the troops increase, the corresponding fiscal expenditure will also increase. Now the economy in Norfolk is backward, the fiscal power is weak, and there is no strength to support so many troops. Therefore, economic development should be the main focus.

After Norfolk's economy initially develops and has a lot of money in hand, it will not be a problem to increase the troops casually at that time.

After listening to Scott's explanation, Leo also felt it was reasonable: "It's still the master who thought it carefully!"

Turning back and sitting on the chair, Scott ordered: "By the way, Albert will soon build the river network. At that time, the manpower in the county will have to be devoted to the work of digging the river. Therefore, you will start to publicize this matter to the public recently. Don't need manpower at that time, but they are all busy with their own affairs."

"I will do this!" Leo suddenly showed concern when he said this: "If you just dig a river, it requires a lot of labor tools, but as far as I know, Norfolk lacks digging tools! So how should this problem be solved?"

"It's not easy! Just go to other places to buy some," Scott said for granted.

Leo shook his head: "Have you forgotten it? In order to prepare for the French War, His Majesty the King has confiscated most of the iron tools in the country for casting weapons, so it is difficult to buy them in other regions!"

"It seems that I can only turn to overseas." Scott thought to himself: "Call Robson and other nobles over here! See if there are any ways for them to get digging tools."

Leo should have sent someone to invite Robson quickly.

Soon, Robson and several merchant nobles came to Scott's study.

"Master." As soon as he saw Scott, the six people quickly bowed and saluted.

Scott waved and signaled them to sit down: "The excavation project is about to begin now, and Leo just told me that the Norfolk area is in short supply of excavation tools, so do you have any way to get a large number of excavation tools?"

Robertson and several merchants looked at each other, and then shook their heads helplessly: "This is indeed a bit difficult, because not only the Kingdom of England, but also the Kingdom of France and the Nordic regions have been confiscated by the royal family to make weapons, so we have no way to get it."

"Is there really no way to do this?" Scott looked at the nobles with hope. After all, they have been engaged in overseas trade, and only they can get some help from overseas.

Robson pondered for a while and said, "If we really want to obtain tools from overseas, then we can only try to contact the Iberian Peninsula! Among the several countries on the Iberian Peninsula, only the Kingdom of Castile meets the conditions! It is just that our alliance between the Kingdom of England and the Kingdom of Portugal has caused dissatisfaction with the Kingdom of Castile, so I don't know if we can get what we want from the Kingdom of Castile."

After hearing this, Scott laughed: "As long as there is a source of goods, there is no business that cannot be done!"

"What do the count plan to do?" Robson and others asked.

Scott stood up and replied: "This is very simple. I plan to go to London in person and meet with Henry Beaufort, Bishop of Winchester, and use his hands to obtain goods from the Kingdom of Castile."

After hearing Scott's words, Robson and others nodded repeatedly: "Yes, why didn't we think of Henry Beaufort, Bishop of Winchester? As long as he is willing to help, things will definitely succeed."
