42. Formulate the development plan of Hetan Town
After confirming the list of supplies, Sean handed over all the matters of purchasing supplies to the butlers Henry and Windsor, asking them to purchase the items on the list together and contact the mercenary group and the army in Jon City.
Let Windsor go with the butler Henry, on the one hand to protect Henry, and on the other hand to prevent Henry from taking advantage of his wealth.
If the butler Henry, who is obsessed with money, absconds with all the gold coins, Sean will really have no place to cry.
After handing everything over to his two subordinates, Sean stretched out easily and prepared to go to the library to read and increase his experience points.
But after walking out of the study, Sean suddenly thought that it seemed to be already 10:30 in the morning, and there didn't seem to be much time before lunch.
So Sean didn't go out, but went back to his room and read the books he borrowed from the library except "Lane's Travels".
...
While reading a book, Sean was also studying the butler Henry's supply list and the map of Hetan Town, and then started to formulate a development plan for Hetan Town in the next five years with pen and paper.
First of all, industry must be developed. There is an old saying in China that "there is no stability without agriculture, no wealth without industry, and no life without business." Only by developing industry can Hetan Town become rich quickly.
Not only that, industry can improve the productivity of the territory and quickly increase the strength of the territory. As a time traveler, Sean, apart from the system, only has the advantage of "leading the people of the territory to develop industry".
However, it is much more difficult to develop industry in a world full of fighting magic than in previous lives.
Referring to the technologically advanced dwarf and goblin races in Warcraft, you can probably understand that although these two races have advanced technology, they still serve as foils for other races.
Moreover, the current specific situation of Hetan Town is different from that of any other country's towns in previous lives. Therefore, there is no known development path suitable for Hetan Town, so Sean can only move forward by groping and make progress by making mistakes.
However, although development is very difficult, Sean still takes a long-term view and makes a five-year development plan.
Starting from driving away the Wolfmen, cleaning up the Wolfman lairs around the territory, and rebuilding Hetan Town, to the people, nobles, policies, construction, farming, mining, military, industry, commerce, education, water conservancy, shipping, and even the connection with Hetan Town.
Sean has made rough plans for the roads in Jorn City, Vernis, and Port Caple.
If Henry, the butler, were here, he would definitely question Sean's plan.
After all, they are still in Yonn City. After purchasing supplies, they only have two or three thousand gold coins left on hand. The town has been occupied by the jackals and has not been taken back yet. Is it too early to make these plans now?
But Sean knew in his heart that it was not too early to make these plans.
For example, in the previous life of the rabbit, at the beginning of the 21st century, when most people were still riding bicycles and the monthly salary was only 400 yuan, high-level officials formulated and implemented a nationwide high-speed rail plan and highway plan.
"It's useless, it's a face-saving project, it wastes people and money", but the rabbit still withstood the pressure and completed the plan.
In the end, high-speed and high-speed rail became the pride of the people across the country.
In comparison, Sean is much more relaxed. At least no one dares to scold him, right?
In particular, projects such as road construction, shipbuilding, and water conservancy that require a long construction period must be planned in advance. Otherwise, when the territory needs it, it will take months or even years to build, and the development of the territory will be delayed.
A lot, and Sean, who was an architectural designer in his previous life, knows this very well.
As a lord, Sean must ensure that his territory can develop rapidly. At least until he has enough self-protection capabilities, Sean cannot relax.
...
Soon, the time reached 12 noon, when the valet of the residence knocked on the door and informed Sean that lunch was ready.
Sean rubbed his sore eyes and stood up, preparing to go to the restaurant to eat.
As for the territory development plan that Sean had written with nearly a thousand words, he casually placed it on the table.
Anyway, Sean wrote these plans in Chinese characters. Even people in this world cannot understand the legendary Chinese character encryption method.
...
After entering the restaurant, Sean sat down and prepared to enjoy his lunch.
But before Sean could eat, he saw Windsor walking in in a hurry.
"How's the purchase of supplies going?" Sean looked at Windsor in front of him.
"Your Highness Sean, it's not completely done yet, and there are still a lot of supplies that we haven't had time to buy yet," Windsor replied.
"But I have good news for you. The Blazing Cross mercenaries and the Jon city defense army under the jurisdiction of the Earl of River have given us news. They will be able to assemble this afternoon. In other words, we can set off after our supplies are ready.
Hetan Town is here.”
"That's great!" Sean put down the cutlery in his hands and stood up from his seat, "In the past two hours, I have re-formulated an action plan.
Now that the city defense troops have been assembled, we will inform them to meet outside the south gate of the city tomorrow morning, and then we can head to Hetan Town first."
"However, I heard from Henry that there are still many supplies that require a lot of time to make. For example, the weapons, armor and farm tools we ordered from the dwarf blacksmith shop will take three days to make." Windsor said doubtfully.
"No, what I mean is that the trip to Hetan Town is divided into two batches.
In the first batch, the two of us and the city defense army went to Hetan Town to clear out the jackals.
In the second batch, Henry took the people, supplies and mercenary groups to Hetan Town."
"Are you so assured Henry?" Windsor smiled.
"Don't use it when you doubt people, don't doubt when you employ people.
Besides, all the money for purchasing supplies has been paid, and I will also take away the remaining gold coins, so that there will be no problems...Where is Henry now?"
"He has now contacted the slave merchants and is at the slave market, so let me inform you that you can go to the 'Slave Home' after lunch." Windsor replied.
"Okay then, I'll go shopping for slaves after dinner." Sean sat down and prepared to eat.
But just after sitting down and taking two bites, Sean suddenly thought of something. He pointed at the dishes on the table and said to Windsor: "Wendsor, you haven't eaten either, right? Come and eat some together. Anyway, I will too."
Can’t finish it.”
As Sean spoke, he ordered the valet standing next to him to add more tableware.
Windsor was not polite and sat down to eat with Sean.
