Chapter 264 Official Business
After sending Vashj and her maids away, Krober planned to return to the study to handle official business.
Coincidentally, he ran into Victor who was standing guard at the door.
"Oh, Victor, I may have to change my promise to accompany you to the Binbinhua family to propose marriage. I will write you a handwritten letter, and you can take this letter to the Binbinhua family to propose marriage."
Krober talked with Vashj for a long time, so the news that he had returned on a dragon had already spread throughout the Amethyst Island.
Everyone was excited about their lord's successful dragon riding.
The civilians praised the lord's strength and wisdom. With a strong lord, they can have a safe living environment.
This is why almost all the nobles have no shortage of people.
The same is true for soldiers, nobles and officials.
But they are not only happy for Krober's strength, but also a part of them are excited for their bright future.
Lord Krober's success in riding a dragon means that the territory of the Amethyst Islands will be greatly expanded, at least it will become a dukedom.
At that time, these officials and soldiers will definitely be entrusted with important tasks and take on the task of guarding the islands for their masters.
Victor naturally knew the news.
"Yes! My Lord!"
Victor straightened his back and accepted Krober's order with a spirited look.
Krober was stunned, and then patted Victor's shoulder gently.
"Hurry up and be promoted to the Earth Knight, otherwise you will have to guard the door of the study for the rest of your life."
After that, he walked directly into the study.
————
To be honest, because Krober's own strength improved too quickly, the strength of the followers he had collected before was uneven.
Old man Foster is still hovering at the Great Knight stage, Shirley's progress is quite fast, but it will take a long time to become a Sky Knight.
Victor didn't know what was going on. When Krober first met him, he had been a Great Knight for several years.
There is no shortage of resources or breakthrough methods, but he just can't become an Earth Knight.
Moreover, Krober could feel that the relationship between him and Victor was not the same as before.
He said he could accept this.
Because this is what you have to go through to become a strong man and a king.
Victor's strength is too poor, so there will naturally be a gap between the two of them.
As long as Victor can improve his own strength, this problem can be significantly improved.
At this time, Haier pushed the door in. He came to report to Krober on the construction of the Amethyst Islands during this period.
"Sit down and talk."
Since Krober rode the dragon, his suspicious and insecure problems have almost been cured.
So he no longer cares about such trivial things.
"How is the recruitment of magicians in the territory going?"
This is the project that Krober values most.
Hearing this, Haier flipped through the thick pile of documents in his hand. After a few minutes, he found the page about magicians.
"My Lord, with the efforts of Samuel, the magic research tower has been completed.
We have also recruited an alchemist, a great magician.
Two elemental magicians, the two elemental magicians are Samuel's master and junior, respectively, and their strengths are a great magician and a formal magician."
The great magician corresponds to the level of sky knights among knights.
Going up, it is the magician level of Ashadelon. Jade Crown, the world's strongest magician.
Krober nodded, and he will go to the magic research tower to visit the elemental magician in person later.
"Report on the construction of the island."
Hearing this, Haier turned the document to the first page and talked about the construction of the island from the beginning.
In short, the infrastructure of Salt Island has been built, and the workers can already operate after several months of training.
The first batch of sea salt was produced on Salt Island three days ago.
As a supervisor, Haier stayed on Salt Island for a while, supervising the workers' operation steps from the first step.
When the finished product was completed, he personally inspected the quality of that batch of sea salt as a prosecutor.
Perfect!
The unique environment, humidity and abundant sunshine conditions of Salt Island make it a perfect salt-producing holy land.
According to the first trade demand sent by Krober, Salt Island has been working overtime to produce sea salt with this goal.
As an agricultural base, Scorched Earth Island has already been planted, and there are enough people to maintain the farmland on it. It will be harvested in about a quarter.
Green Leaf Island is built based on the livestock base. Most of the green plants on the island are retained, and the number is enough to support a certain number of livestock breeding.
However, as a political, commercial and military center, the construction progress of Amethyst Island is still far away.
Especially after most of the labor force was assigned to work on the other three islands, the construction progress of Amethyst Island has been very slow.
At present, only buildings such as Rose Castle and the port have been built on the island.
Buildings such as schools, craftsmen shops, and chambers of commerce that Krober attaches great importance to are still under construction.
"First, build the Purple Crystal Chamber of Commerce. The most important thing is to select the personnel for me. When the production quantity of sea salt reaches the requirement, let old man Foster lead the caravan to run the first trade route."
There is no other way. At present, the only person that Krober trusts and has certain strength is old man Foster.
As for Shirley, that lazy guy is either practicing or pestering him. Usually, he is unwilling to leave the Rose Castle, let alone sailing with the caravan.
So Krober has no choice but to hand over this task to old man Foster.
But he guessed that no one dared to rob his caravan.
After all, he is a "dragon knight".
The rulers of the seven kingdoms have some impression of him, and the nobles below dare not offend him, so old man Foster can do it after running the first trade route to get familiar with the road.
The rest can be entrusted to a professional businessman to be responsible for this trade route.
As for the second trade route, that is, the trade route with the Naga tribe, Krober plans to provide the Naga tribe with a door-to-door self-service pickup service.
Set up this pickup point in the northeast of Scorched Earth Island, just where the Nagas pass by.
When the time comes, put the goods there, and after the Nagas count and pay, they can leave directly.
It saves time and effort, and is also concealed enough.
