After playing the emperor, Marin was considered to have completed his mission. So he stopped here, but took his men, left Cliff City, and hurried back to his territory.

他 When he landed from the dock of Tholencher, he saw a thriving weather on the island of Texel ...

After returning to the castle, Umarin was warmly welcomed by the family who were still here. And Angela, who hasn't seen Marin for a long time, also misses it so much that she rushed into Marin's arms ...

"Hum-Sister Angela is ashamed, so grown up is still coquettish, and robbed me of my brother!" Angela dominated Marin's arms, making Miss Anne unhappy ...

"Haha, sister Annie, you are so stupid, don't you see that? Sister Angela may be our second wife ..." Simon ostentatioously expressed his speculation. However, Simon really guessed ...

小姐 Ms. Annie immediately threatened:

"Like Sister Liv?"

"Uh ..."

"Wow-I don't ..." Annie cried.

"Why?" Simon and Albert, two little guys with question marks in their heads, even the old Huffmans and Adlers were attracted by Annie's cry.

因为 "Because if sister Angela became my sister-in-law, brother Marin would not hurt Annie, and would have no time to play with Annie ..."

?????????????????????

"You see, since Brother Adler has married Sister Liv, she has turned around Sister Liv every day and has no time to talk to Annie. Annie doesn't want Brother Marin to marry, otherwise Brother Marin doesn't hurt Annie ... ... "

At this moment, everyone else in the scene was aggressive first, and then all laughed ...

夫人 Mrs. Mary was so happy that she put little Annie into her arms and said:

"Baby Annie, your brother Marin is definitely going to get married. When you grow up in a few years, you will also be married."

呜 "Woo, Annie doesn't marry, Annie wants to accompany her mother ..." The little boy cried a little bit endlessly.

Marlin thought about it, and asked Kohler to bring the money bag, grab a handful of gold coins, and put it in Anne's hand ...

This trick really worked. Anne, who was crying, stopped crying immediately, and fled out of Madam Mary's arms. As for why? The little boy was afraid that Mrs. Mary had confiscated the gold coin. You know, parents have the bad habit of confiscating the "giant money" in their children's hands ...

In order to protect the gold coins in her hand, Anne could not help crying and sad, but looked at Mrs. Mary with vigilance, making Mrs. Mary cry and laugh.

夫人 After Madam Mary repeatedly promised that she would not confiscate the gold coin in Anne's hand, Annie immediately took the gold coin in her hand and ran back to her room to hide the money ...

Simon and Albert looked at each other with hot eyes, came over with saliva, and looked at Marin flatteringly. But Marin ignored them. In Marin's heart, he always believed that "boys are poor, girls are rich." Therefore, Marin chose to ignore these two goods. The two little guys wanted to cry, but Marin ignored them and left with Angela, leaving two little guys who really wanted to cry ...

Uh ...

Not long afterwards, Heidel Lehman, Mayor of Denborg and administrative assistant for the entire archipelago, received the news and came to Marin to report his work.

Marin now lacks civilian officials. Therefore, Heidel Lehmann not only served as Mayor of Denborg and assisted in managing the entire Texel Island. In the case of a shortage of manpower, the four new islands also belonged to him. Temporarily. However, Heidel Lehmann had no complaints and felt more valued.

海 This time Heidelmann came over, mainly to report data on autumn and autumn harvests, and work on desert island development.

The entire archipelago, except for Yancheng, is directly under the jurisdiction of Marin. In other areas, mainly agriculture and fisheries, Haider is basically catching.

Marin left Denborg from the summer and did not return until after the New Year. She was not at home for nearly half a year, so this work that is close to half a year must be reported.

Marlin first coaxed Angela before he met Heidel in the study:

坐 "Sit down, Heyder, you're short, don't put up the puppet words and cut directly into the subject."

"Yes, Lord Baron. The population of the island has increased a lot in the past few months, including the immigrants who forcibly migrated after the end of the Frisian War, the serfs you sent to recruit, and your newly recruited The army ... together, the total population of the Wadden Islands has now reached 16,000 ... "

怎么 "How can there be so many people?" Marin was also surprised.

"Sir, there were more than 6,000 people on Texel Island. In addition to the army, the 4,300 fishermen you snatched from Friesland, and the 1,000 prisoners of war, reached 11,300. Then, In order to develop the four big islands, you sent someone to recruit 2,000 serfs, and there were more than 13,000. In addition, if you hired another 1,250 soldiers, you would have ... "

"There are only more than 14,000 people ..."

"It's true, but the people you sent to recruit serfs, accidentally, recruited more ..."

"More recruits?"

"Well, sir, the manor in the inland areas now has a large population because it has been so long and there has been no black death outbreak for a long time. However, the area of ​​cultivated land has not increased, and the increase in population is also a burden. So, Many inland estates have a lot of people coming out. Those who think that the owners of the estate are abandoning the extra people are burdensome, like driving them out. When we send people to recruit people, many of the estates, or even stewards come over, Offer the population to us. Of course, most of them are like old and weak, but when we accept people, we hope to accept strong people ... "

"Recruited more than a thousand people in the end?"

"Yes, sir, this is our fault ..."

"Haha, Haider, this is not a fault, as long as the recruits are not old, weak, sick, it is not a mistake."

那就 "That's good, the people we sent out insisted on being young men and women, the most, with a family of young men and women, did not violate your requirements."

"That's all right, what about autumn harvest?"

Here, Heder started to lighten his eyes a little--

"Sir, you do n’t know. Although the spring ploughing was delayed because of the war, we still hurry up and replant, so that 5000 ygrams of land are planted with rye. When the autumn harvest, these 5,000 ygrams of land, The average yield is 250 pounds per mu! ”In order to conform to his habit, Marin asked the island officials to use the unit of measurement when calculating cultivated land. Therefore, Haider is also used to measuring the yield per mu ...

"250 pounds per mu, that's a total output of 1.25 million pounds ... Ah, my math teacher teaches math ... 5000 Yugram is obviously 60,000 mu ..."

"Master, the total output is 15 million pounds of rye ..."

呃 "Uh ... uh ... very good ... but, isn't there 6,400 Ugram land on the island? The other 1400 Ugram land has no time to replant? And, what about oat yield?"

这个 "This ... sir, because of the outbreak of the war, spring ploughing has been greatly affected. We can replant 5000 Yougram, which is already our best effort. As for the oats ... I have no time to replant, please forgive me ..."

好 "Well, this is also the fault of the Frisians, forget it. Is there enough oatmeal on the horse?"

"Enough, absolutely enough! Over 280,000 pounds of oats were harvested last year, and no pounds were taken out. They were stored for horses. Moreover, oats are not a staple food for horses, they are only used with forage. So, oats are still enough food."

"That's good……"

"Yes, sir, there are more than 200 pregnant mares. Many mares have given birth to ponies. There are 163 ponies in total, so cute!"

"Really? Nick wants to send someone to stare, don't let the foal grow and health be affected. Especially those foals whose parents are war horses, focus on care!"

当然 "Sure, sir, you hired a professional horse breeder, and they knew what to do."

"This is really good news!"

"There is better news, sir! The subordinates organized their manpower to cultivate a total of 3,600 Eugrams on Terschelling, Ameland, Vlieland, and Schiermonnikoog. New arable land. This spring, we can have a total arable land of 10,000 Yougram. By the fall, I am already looking forward to the situation where the granary can't fit! "

"Ten thousand Yougram? That's really good news!" There is 10,000 rams but 120,000 acres of land, even if the yield is only 250 pounds per acre ~ www.novelhall.com ~ there is a total output of 30 million pounds. This era is very scary.

"There is other good news. The 4,300 fishermen you brought back from Friesland also played a big role. Now, fishermen at the docks bring back mountainous seafood every day. But because there is no With enough salt, many fish are stink. Fortunately, your subordinates remember your instructions. Instead of discarding the stinky fish, they are collected and thrown into the septic tank, ready to be used as your "phosphate fertilizer."

"A big gap in salt?"

嗯 "Well, there are too many fish, lack of salt ..."

"It's all right, I'll let Yancheng add a batch of salt cauldrons as appropriate."

那就 "That's good. In the future, we will produce too much salted fish. Then there will be too much. However, now many fishermen can't go to sea because of lack of fishing boats ..."

"How many households are there?"

"About 300 fishermen lack fishing boats ..."

"so much?"

"Well, many of their fishing boats were collected by the Frisian military because of the previous war, and then they were worn out ..."

"Okay, I see. I will provide a loan for them to buy a new ship. It will cost ..."

"You don't have to worry about this, sir, Mr. Wright, on behalf of the Wiggins Chamber of Commerce, sent a salt of 100,000 Gulden gold coins. It is expected that another batch will be sent by mid-year. So, the current financial situation is not Tight. "

"It's really sending charcoal in the snow ..." Just after Marin spent nearly 100,000 gold coins, Wright sent 100,000, and immediately filled the accounts, and there was surplus.
