Chapter 60 Set Sail Back to the Island

Henry got up from the bed and began to get dressed. Shi Kodi opened her eyes and found that her husband was already dressed and standing in front of the window. She tried hard to sit up but the pain in her lower body made her fall on the bed.

Henry turned around and smiled and said to his wife, "Okay dear, according to my estimation, you won't be able to get out of bed today. Now take a good rest, we will leave for the territory in two days."

Shikodi stroked her hair back and blushed slightly. "Don't worry, I can go back by boat with you at any time. And there is a merchant ship called the Countess at the port, which holds all my dowry."

Henry walked over and kissed Shikodi. "I will take your countess with me when I set sail, now you can sleep well for a while, how long did you sleep last night." After finishing speaking, he walked out of the room and closed the door.

Shi Kodi watched her husband leave and lay on the bed thinking that the current situation is much better than she expected, at least she did not marry an old and ugly businessman like her sister. I heard that she is not doing well now, and because her husband has been unable to satisfy her needs for a long time, she has become dissolute. Thinking of this, Shi Kodi thought of the madness with her husband last night, her face began to flush slightly, and it didn't take long for her to fall asleep with a smile. For a young girl, last night's exercise seemed a little intense.

Henry walked down the stairs to find his mother and the others sitting at the table smiling at him. Lily looked at her son and said, "Henry wishes you a happy wedding, Shikodi will definitely become a good wife."

Henry walked to the table and pulled out a chair to sit down. "Thank you mom, I've decided to return to the territory in a few days. If you have anything else you need, buy some as soon as possible in the next few days, otherwise it will take about half a month to go back and forth after you leave."

Mother nodded. "I'll make a list for the butler to buy in the afternoon." "Your Excellency, your lunch and soup." The butler came over with a tray and put the food on it in front of Henry.

Henry said to Hawke who was smoking while eating: "How is our plan to recruit people going?"

The old captain exhaled a puff of smoke. "It went well. I hired a few bards to adapt your deeds into stories and sang them around the taverns in the city. After that, I advertised that your territory is fertile and pleasant, and most importantly, there are no monsters that eat people. Now we More than 3,000 people have been recruited, and with the rewards given to you by the council, we already have close to 10,000 people who can be filled into the newly built city."

"That would be the best. In fact, both our Emerald Isle and Hart Island can support more than one million people. For a long time, we need to keep introducing people. In addition, Shi Kodi said that she was at the port There is a Duchess full of her dowry, and I hope you can go and receive it together." Henry took a sip of the soup while talking, and suddenly he fished out the genitals of some kind of male animal from the soup.

"Housekeeper! What's the matter with this soup? Why is there such a thing in it?" Henry asked the butler.

The butler came over and bowed before answering: "Count, this is a soup specially given to newly married men by all noble families. It is said that it can increase the fertility of men and give birth to qualified heirs for the family as soon as possible."

Henry patted his head and suddenly felt nauseous. He said to the housekeeper, "Don't give me this kind of thing anymore. If you have special food in the future, you'd better show me the raw materials before making it."

The butler nodded and answered meticulously: "Follow the earl." After lunch, Henry began to deal with various things. Including buying some cloth, carpets, clothing and daily necessities, and then sending someone to Yanquan headquarters to inform Shika of the departure date. A few days passed quickly in a busy way.

On the morning of the third day, Henry boarded his giant ship with his newlywed wife, relatives and friends, accompanied by Shika, the chief of Flame Fist. The Duke of Anta Silver Shield and Jasuo, the leader of the Seven Suns Alliance, came to the port to see him off.

The Duke stood on the shore and said to Henry: "Your Excellency, I wish you a smooth journey, and remember about the spices. I will go to your territory to see in person next year."

Henry waved his hand. "I'm looking forward to your arrival. Don't worry, I will definitely prepare enough spices for you to ship."

After the Duke left, Jasuo stepped onto the deck and said to Henry: "Your Excellency, next month my fleet will go to your territory to fetch salt. I hope there will be enough supplies by then."

Henry smiled. "Don't worry my friend, the output will surprise you when the time comes."

After bidding farewell to all those who saw him off, he said to Hawke, "Admiral! We should go home."

The old captain laughed and shouted: "Everyone, get ready! Leave the port and set sail." Following an order, the sailors began to get busy, and soon the ship left the port and sailed slowly to the sea. Henry's two ships were followed by these dozens of merchant ships, all of which carried many people to settle on the island.

After entering the deep sea, Henry said to Ska: "We will have to sail for about ten days to reach the territory. If you have nothing to do, you can walk around on the deck and fish. If you are tired, go to the cabin to sleep for a while. You must know that sailing at sea is a difficult task. Very boring thing."

Ska looked at the sea. "Thank you for your reminder, I will adjust myself, please don't worry." After speaking, he walked to the stern and began to ask the sailors about some things about sailing at sea. Seeing nothing to do, Henry took his wife to the bow of the boat to watch the seabirds flying around and the occasional dolphins jumping out of the water. Shikodi, who went out to sea for the first time, was very excited, running around with Lina like a little girl, curious about everything. Since there were still many merchant ships behind him, Hawke took the method of sailing during the day and stopping at night to rest, and it took half a month to reach the Angome Islands.

Seeing two huge islands for the first time, Shikodi's eyes widened in surprise. She shouted to her husband: "My God! You never told me that your island is so big and there are two. It’s literally a continent.”

"It's not bad, this is our home from now on." After speaking, Henry smiled and thought to himself that Taiwan Island was only 36,000 square kilometers when he was on Earth There is no problem in establishing a kingdom after the camp is completed. After landing on the shore, the younger sister rushed out quickly and yelled, and the mother quickly chased after her and pulled her back. After Henry got on the pier, he saw that the entire port city had already taken shape.

Robert came over and said to him: "Master, our sewer system has been completely completed. Now we can start building houses and city walls on a large scale."

Kegan also came over. "I went directly to the blast furnace. If you have anything to do, go find me there."

Henry nodded to Cagan. "Go ahead and forge steel blocks into weapons, armor and agricultural tools. First, forge at a ratio of two to two to six."

"Understood! Just give it to me at ease." After speaking, he walked towards the blast furnace.

Henry turned around and said to Robert: "Now hand over your work to Hawke. I want you to start building an underground intelligence agency in the territory, which will be responsible for monitoring the entire territory for me. If other forces are found to start If it infiltrates, I will uproot it, and if the other party is powerful, come to me directly."

The young thief's eyes lit up when he heard that. "Don't worry, master, I will do a good job." Henry handed him a large bag of gold coins and patted him on the shoulder. Robert took the money and turned to leave, preparing to form his underground guild.

After visiting the scenery on the island, Ska came over to Henry and said, "Your Excellency, your territory is really big enough. When will the residents on board be able to go ashore."

Henry looked at the slaves who were building houses. "You can land now, but now they can only be ordinary workers and settle down after the city construction is completed. Of course, I will pay them salaries according to the price of Baldur's Gate."

Scar thought about it. "No problem, I will be responsible for appeasing these people. After sending these people ashore, I will leave directly. The council is still waiting for me to go back and report on the route."

Henry nodded. "Now that the facilities on the island are not complete, I won't keep you here. I hope you can come and play for a few days after the construction is completed."

Shika nodded, then turned around and shouted to the merchant ships parked at the berth: "Everyone line up and get off the ship now." More than 10,000 people with their families walked onto Hart Island, with a little bewildered expression on their faces. little hope. These people were then assigned to various construction sites on a family basis and began to build their own cities. Henry arranged his wife, mother, and younger sister to live in the largest house for the time being, and then began to let Hawke send people to organize a group of slaves to leave the port and go to the countryside to open up villages for agricultural production. Henry personally brought 4,000 newly arrived residents to Emerald Isle to build several settlements, and cleared a large forest by the lake to start planting pepper, nutmeg and ginger. Then he began to use the druid's ability to give birth to these plants and let them begin to enter fruit production.

In the following days, he selected more than a dozen children from underage slaves as druid apprentices, and opened up a small village in the valley of the Emerald Isle for them to live and study. A month later, Jasuo's ship arrived at the unbuilt city as scheduled, and Henry asked Amy to bring 50 tons of freshly produced salt to the warehouse with a dimensional bag.

The captain who led the team ordered the sailors to pack all the salt into wooden barrels and bring them back to the ship. He took out several golden tickets and handed them to Henry. "Your Excellency, these are the gold coins settled last month. Please accept them. We sold half of the 30 tons of refined salt. The total is 500,000 gold coins. According to the contract, the 200,000 gold coins are your reward."

Henry took the golden ticket and said to him, "Thank you, say hello to Mr. Jasuo for me when you go back, and ask the artisan when he will arrive."

The captain stroked his beard. "I must bring the news. If there is nothing else, I will lead the fleet back to Baldur's Gate." Henry nodded. "Then I wish you the best of luck, goodbye."
