Chapter 16 Cabbage
Lynn was giggling at the cabbage on the shelves, and Danny looked at the scene and felt a little scared.
Do adults have problems with conjectures?
The guard leader Hud also saw the Lord's smile, and his mood was not much calmer. He remembered that the first time the Lord was squinting his eyes on the city wall to look at the group of pirates who were preparing to attack the fishing village harbor.
Then, he remembered the remaining blood on the coast, and the bloody massacre a few days ago was still vivid in his mind.
"Hood, do you think the Iron Min's caravan passed by our port a few days ago and headed north?" Lin Neng curled his smile.
"Yes, sir, it happened about three days ago. We had just wiped out the attacking pirates. They came to the port to replenish freshwater." Hood replied.
Lynn nodded and continued to ask: "How many days will it take to travel between the Bite Bay and the Widow Hope with the Iron Man?"
Hood didn't understand what the lord cared about this, so he thought for a moment and gave the answer.
"Well, it takes about seven days for a fishing boat in a fishing village port to travel to and from a widow, but it only takes five days for the ironmin's double-sail keelbore boat."
Depart three days ago, and it takes five days to go back and forth. Including the one or two days it takes to load the cargo, which means that the iron-minister's merchant ship may arrive at its territory again in the next three days.
Lynn tapped his elbows with his arms around and thought carefully.
It's hard to go in time.
However, he had to immediately inform Rodat of the Three Sisters Islands to come back to reinforce.
Iron Min’s caravans are equipped with guards. Those guys from pirates, even ordinary sailors, are probably much stronger in combat than ordinary pirates.
Lynn had an idea of having the best of both worlds.
He turned to the suspicious female housekeeper and said, "Dani, how many craftsmen we have recruited recently? Have you counted them?"
Danny was still thinking about what the lord was going to do, and she was a little fascinated for a moment, knowing that Lynn called her for the second time, "Dany?"
"Here, sir!"
When I was assigned the work, I was distracted. Lin En reached out to pinch his eyebrows, feeling a little unwilling.
But I didn't continue to get angry, so I asked again patiently.
Danny answered very quickly this time, "There are 27 craftsmen in total, 30 laborers who have no experience in construction, Lord Lord."
"Didn't you say, can these people learn how to build it soon? Let them rebuild the fishing village port now."
"Is it a renovation, sir?" Danny asked in a daze.
"No, it's all over it."
The butler was a little surprised.
Although it is not a big project to push the wharf down and renovate, the pier in the Fishing Village Port is not big, but renovating is not as simple as building a house. This means that the port originally had only two mooring points, and only one can be left when repairing. If it is via the mall or when fishing boats return, this will be very affected.
However, she didn't know that Lynn's purpose was to make the small dock in the fishing boat port busy for the time being.
He did not intend to tell Danni about this. As a female housekeeper, he only needed to do daily things well and obey arrangements. It was not a good phenomenon that an internal management involved too many external combat matters.
The guard leader Hood probably guessed what the lord wanted to do. He pursed his lips and wanted to say, but he didn't know how to speak.
Danni lives in a big family and learns to observe words and expressions very early to understand the most basic human hearts.
For example, at this time, Lord Lord seemed to have something to say between him and his guard leader Hood.
Danni made a tactful choice to leave.
"Sir, then I'll go and do my business first."
Lynn is very satisfied with the new housekeeper's current performance, and everything he does is polite and careful.
The 14-year-old girl has such thoughts, and it is indeed very important to have a good education and education.
Lin En nodded slightly, and when the female butler's back disappeared outside the basement door behind her, she lowered her voice and said to the guard: "Hood, give you a task."
Hu De stood upright and said solemnly: "Sir, you give me the order."
"Send a few guards to ride horses along the coastline north, and ask them to take the ravens. When they see the iron-minded merchant ships heading south, they will inform you as soon as possible. After receiving the letter, you will organize several fishing boats to block the docks entering the port."
Hood was stunned, "Sir, are you not going to replenish fresh water for those iron people?"
Lin Neng smiled mysteriously and said lightly: "No, if they don't give them fresh water, they won't leave. And you said they had docked at our pier three days ago, but I don't know at all, which means they are very disciplined and will not disembark rashly. The empty ships are so careful. When they are loaded with cargo, they will probably be more alert."
The big cake behind Hood's beard was swollen and red. He carefully looked at the lord beside him. Under the dim torches in the basement, the young Lynn had a strange hideous look on his face.
"Do you want to attack the Iron Man merchant ship in the port?" Hood said with his head down. "Those guys will run away when they realize the problem, and the Iron Man sailboat runs very quickly. As long as they don't get off the boat, we don't seem to have any way to deal with them."
Lynn looked at Hood carefully and said, "Hood, you are indeed a good talent, with keen observation and calm thinking, but I don't think we need to let those people get off the boat, they will jump off the boat themselves."
Hood said in surprise: "But sir, the iron people will not abandon ships at will. It is not easy for them to abandon ships."
“It’s really not easy.”
"But there's no way they can do it." Lin Neng suddenly narrowed his eyes slightly, "But what if their fresh water makes them thirsty the more they drink, and they may even get infected with a nautical plague..."
Hood's face twitched, which was indeed a sinister but very effective method.
The route was blocked by the fishing boat that had just left. There was a plague on the boat. Those iron people must be very panicked. Jumping the ship was an inevitable choice.
The fear of the plague is even three points more terrifying than the witch's curse in Westeros.
"But sir, what about those people after they got off the boat? They had five merchant ships, plus nearly two hundred sailors and boatmen, all of whom were fighting and robbing water bandits on the west coast. Our few men might not be able to take them."
Hood reminded Lynn that although Lord Lord your cavalry is very brave and fighting the pirates of the Three Sisters Island is as easy as killing chickens and pickling dogs, but meeting people from the Iron Islands is two different things.
Sir, don't swell.
Lin En knew it and gave Hood a reassurance.
The corners of his mouth slightly raised downwards.
Pick up a cabbage from the shelves and reach out to peel off the leaves on the cabbage.
