The Knight's Journey to the Empire

April 4878, 4, Knight Continent Calendar, Seagull Castle.

On this day, Soran was sitting alone in the guest room of Seagull Castle prepared for him by Countess Katis, lost in deep thought with a focused expression, constantly thinking about and perfecting the detailed plan or specific program for future immigration to the Antilles.

Although the Antilles were discovered by humans hundreds of years ago, they have been uninhabited for a long time and there are very few human activities.

Therefore, the current state of the Antilles can be said to be an undeveloped wasteland, or virgin land!

Therefore, if immigrants want to move to this "virgin" archipelago to survive and develop, it would be necessary to carry out a wilderness development operation.

In order to ensure the normal and efficient progress of the operation, Soran naturally needs to make a detailed and thorough plan.

In this era of relatively backward productivity, what is the most critical factor in wilderness development?

There is no doubt that it must be a person!

Therefore, the most important part of the plan formulated by Soran is how to transport a large number of people to the Antilles safely and efficiently.

No matter whether they are elite talents from all walks of life or ordinary civilians, as long as they are still able to work, they are extremely valuable population resources for him, so the more people transported, the better!

Of course, man is iron and food is steel. If you don’t eat for a meal, you will be very hungry!

Therefore, humans need to eat to replenish energy and maintain basic survival needs!

However, in the early stages of the development of the Antilles, there was no profit, and instead the inventory resources would continue to be consumed.

Therefore, another key issue of Soran's plan is how to transport more food, meat and other necessities of life to the Antilles Islands to meet the survival needs of the relocated residents for at least two years.

It was precisely because of this that Soran asked Countess Katis to order the shipyard to devote all its efforts to production and build various types of ships on a large scale, especially those with higher cargo capacity and greater transportation capacity, in order to transport more things.

Soran also hurriedly made a compass and gave it to the expedition team, instructing them to find the best route from Ganise City to the Antilles in order to shorten the sailing time and improve transportation efficiency.

As the saying goes: If you want to do your work well, you must first sharpen your tools.

Another important factor in desert island development is tools!

Although it is not as important as the previous two, it is definitely one of the important factors that cannot be ignored, so Sauron will naturally not let it go.

Today, all the blacksmith shops in the entire city of Ganise have received a huge order for ironware from Seagull Castle.

The order required them to work hard to produce a batch of iron tools and iron farm implements, including iron knives, iron shovels, iron hoes, saws, hammers, chisels and other iron tools.

Anyway, everything that Sauron can think of needs to be produced in large quantities.

Especially iron tools such as nails and wires, which are small in size but have a wide range of uses and are consumed very quickly, require large-scale production.

..............................

Soran sat in front of a desk in the room with a pen and paper on it. Whenever a good idea or thought flashed through his mind, he would write it down immediately!

On one side of the desk was a thick stack of papers filled with words written by him!

Unfortunately, the news has not been officially announced yet, and his trusted confidant is not around.

Otherwise, he would definitely call more people to brainstorm and pool their wisdom to come up with a better solution.

Instead of being like now, where all my hair is almost pulled out!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, interrupting Soran's thoughts.

"Come in!" Soran shouted towards the door.

Then, a servant from Seagull Castle gently opened the door and walked in.

The servant first made a greeting to Soran, and then said respectfully: "My Lord Baron, I am very sorry to bother you! There is a man named Fisher outside who wants to see you. He claims to be the director of the Netherlands Chamber of Commerce. Are you willing to meet him?"

Fisher, director of the Netherlands Chamber of Commerce?

Soran was slightly stunned, but he quickly reacted!

Isn't this Director Fisher the one I asked to help me get information about sulfur and saltpeter?

He suddenly came to my house at this moment. Could it be that he discovered the news about these two items?

Soran was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "See him! Take me to see him! Where is he now?"

The servant thought for a moment, then said, "This news came from the servants at the foot of the mountain! So the Baron's guests should still be waiting at the foot of the mountain!"

"Okay! Thank you for helping me convey this message!" As he said that, Sauron stood up and prepared to go down the mountain to check out the situation!

"Your Excellency Baron, you are so polite!" The servant replied respectfully with a warm smile on his face.

There are very few nobles like Soran who are polite, cultured, and courteous to their servants!

Even for servants like them who work in Seagull Castle, it is rare to have the opportunity to meet such nobles!

So Soran’s life in Seagull Castle is actually quite cozy and comfortable!

Because the servants of Seagull Castle all have a great liking for him!

..............................

Sauron rode in a spacious and gorgeous carriage, driving slowly along the winding mountain road towards the foot of the mountain, and finally arrived at the foot of Seagull Castle.

Why is it at the foot of the mountain?

Because Fisher is Soren's guest, and Soren is a guest of Seagull Castle.

Although Soran has the right to enter and exit Seagull Castle freely, he is not qualified to invite his guests to visit Seagull Castle.

Of course, it was mainly because Director Fisher’s status was not high enough, and he had not received an invitation from Countess Katis, so he was naturally not qualified to be a guest at Seagull Castle.

However, if the person who came today was the president of the Netherlands Chamber of Commerce in Ganise City, the situation would probably be very different!

Even without Soran asking, Countess Katis would take the initiative to invite the branch president to visit Seagull Castle and enjoy the feast and beautiful scenery inside Seagull Castle together.

So in the final analysis, it is still because of inequality in identity and status.
