Zhao Hai and Laura returned to the Sweet Plum Courtyard and then entered the Space. Laura and the others were finally able to relax. Zhao Hai looked at Laura and smiled, "I didn't expect your swordsmanship to be so formidable. Haha, it's amazing."
Laura proudly raised her chin and said, "Of course. Do you think that I'm a fake knight? I feel like I can break through to the 6th rank soon. "
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "It seems like when we go to the prairie, we'll have to find a mount for you. Right, Laura, how about you use a Blood Hawk as a mount? After the Ranch's upgrade, the Blood Hawk's fighting strength has increased. Using a Blood Hawk as a mount would be much safer. "
Laura smiled and said, "Forget it, we'll talk about it later. In any case, there are a lot of magic beasts in the Space. I can use a Blood Hawk to fly in the sky, a Moon Lion to run on the ground, a Swordfish to swim in the water, and even Little Wen. Little Wen can also be a mount. Don't worry, there's no need to worry."
Zhao Hai couldn't help but laugh. What Laura said was true. There were a lot of magic beasts in the Space, and any one of them would be a good mount. Laura really had a lot to choose from.
After a while, the group talked about the main topic. Zhao Hai turned to Cai 'er and said, "Cai' er, how many vegetables do we have in the Space?"
Cai 'er immediately replied, "We have more than 2 million jin of vegetables, 1 billion jin of grain, 50 thousand jin of milk wine, and 20 thousand jin of war rations."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "In the future, we'll plant less food and more vegetables. Also, after the first batch of Scaleless Fish is finished, we'll need to raise more fire fishes. We must ensure that we have enough vegetables and fire fishes."
Cai 'er nodded. Now that she was in charge of the farm, and although the ranch was under Mu' er, Mu 'er still had to listen to Cai' er. Because of this, Cai 'er was now in charge of the farm. If there was anything that Zhao Hai wanted to tell her, then he could directly tell her.
Zhao Hai didn't care much about the Farm, so when Cai 'er agreed, he just nodded and followed Laura and the others back to Iron Mountain Fort.
Iron Mountain Fort had already entered winter. Outside of the fort, it was already a world of ice and snow. Inside the fort, the temperature was now around 10 degrees Celsius, so people were wearing thick clothes.
But overall, the situation in Iron Mountain Fort was still very good. Because of Cai 'er, the amount of firewood used in the fort was greatly reduced. Now, a lot of bamboo and oil fruit trees were used to make furniture by the slaves...
Although the slaves hadn't made these things before, don't forget that Laura had brought along a few craftsmen. Moreover, the things that the slaves made were for their own use. Whether they looked good or not, as long as they were practical, it was fine. Because of this, Iron Mountain Fort had a lot of half carpenters.
Regarding this situation, Zhao Hai was happy to see it happen. He removed the status of the half carpenters and told them that if they learned the craft, they would be rewarded with land.
This aroused the enthusiasm of the slaves. After a lot of slaves returned home from work in the factory, they began to work as craftsmen. Among them, there were a few who were clever and skillful. Now, Green had selected these people to focus on training.
Naturally, the things that these people made wouldn't be wasted. Green wanted them to make as much as possible. Moreover, they didn't need to be too fast or too beautiful, but they needed to be sturdy and practical. Even if they couldn't use these things, they could still store them. Don't forget, when spring comes, they would have 100 thousand slaves. With 100 thousand people, there would be a lot of things that they could use.
This time, Zhao Hai went to Sky Water City to buy some craftsmen. It would be best if there were stonemasons, blacksmiths, as well as craftsmen who could bake bricks.
At the same time, it would be best if there were a few craftsmen who could build houses. One must know that building a house wasn't easy. If you couldn't build a house well, then not only would it not be warm, it would also not be able to withstand the wind and rain.
At this time, Zhao Hai didn't lack ordinary slaves. What he lacked were craftsmen. Of course, slaves who were literate and skilled weren't cheap. But now, Zhao Hai didn't lack money.
Zhao Hai returned to Iron Mountain Fort this time to have a good discussion with Green. He wanted to see how the production of wool products, milk wine, and rations was, and whether it was possible to supply them on a large scale.
After discussing with Green, Green also gave Zhao Hai a very specific number. At this time, the daily output of milk wine was about 5000 jin. The output of wool products was also good. Every five days, they could produce 20 blankets. Don't look at this number because the blankets were made by hand, which was very troublesome.
The production of rations was very smooth. Now that their rabbit farm had reached a certain scale, they could produce about 10000 jin of rabbit meat and 5000 jin of lamb rations every month.
Most importantly, they now had the rabbit skin processing technology. Beastmen can cook the skin while human women can turn it into beautiful fur. The rabbits that were produced in Zhao Hai's Space had bright red fur, which made their clothes and cloaks very beautiful.
In this way, Zhao Hai had one more product. This was really good news. After knowing the situation, Zhao Hai returned to the Space and discussed with Cai 'er how much vegetables they could produce every month. This was very important for them. These vegetables were to be supplied to the Shelley Hotel. This business was very stable compared to the Purcell Duchy.
After having Cai 'er calculate the output of vegetables, Zhao Hai got the result. Every month, they can supply more than 500 thousand jin of vegetables to the Shelley Hotel. This figure wasn't small even if it didn't affect the grain and fruit oil production.
After calculating everything, Zhao Hai returned to the Fragrant Plum Courtyard. It was already late, so it was time for dinner. Smith sent someone to invite Zhao Hai and the others to the dining hall of the City Lord's Mansion.
For this meal, Zhao Hai took out his milk wine and had a good drink with Smith. Smith also seemed to like the taste of the milk wine.
After eating, Zhao Hai and the others returned to the Fragrant Plum Courtyard to rest. This night was very peaceful. However, the entire Sky Water City was not peaceful.
All the nobles in the city, as well as other forces, started to move. They didn't want to rebel, but they wanted to find out who the culprit was. They wanted to find out who dared to come to Sky Water City and deal with Smith's daughter.
These forces in Sky Water City had no choice but to do this. They wanted to use this method to clear themselves of suspicion. They were afraid that they would be suspected by Smith. If they were suspected by Smith, then they wouldn't be able to survive in Sky Water City. Not only in Sky Water City, but also in the entire Rosen Empire.
In fact, the reason why these nobles were so nervous was because after Megan was attacked, the entire Sky Water City was under martial law. Everywhere on the streets, one could see the figures of Urban Patrol, City Guards, Warriors of the Calci Family, and even mercenaries patrolling the streets. On this day, Sky Water City's business dropped by 30%. One could see how big the impact of this matter was.
Seeing that Smith was serious this time, the nobles and other forces of Sky Water City became nervous. If they offended the angry Smith at this time, then they would certainly die miserably.
Compared to the other forces, the Shelley Hotel was very calm. Although they had already informed the City Lord's Mansion to send their warriors to help maintain the security of the streets, their movements weren't very big. They only did what they could on two nearby streets. Moreover, they were very careful and didn't overstep their boundaries. This kind of low-key behavior was to Smith's liking.
Naturally, Marriott didn't need to command this time. In fact, Might didn't need to do anything. The two of them were hiding inside the hotel room and discussing this matter.
Marriott looked at Might and said, "Do you think this matter is related to Zhao Hai? I heard that when Megan was attacked, she was with Laura and Meg. "
Might nodded and said, "It's very possible. Besides that arrogant fool Lionheart, I can't think of anyone else who would have the guts to make a move against Megan in Sky Water City. If it was Lionheart who did it, then their target should be Laura and Meg." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "That's right.
Marriott leisurely replied, "There's another group that has the courage to do so, it's the Radiant Church. The Radiant Church's strength has been growing very fast these years. Moreover, they have a grudge with the Calci Family, as well as Zhao Hai. It's very likely that they would do something like this. Whether this attack succeeds or not, they can still shift the blame onto Zhao Hai. Saying that they wanted to attack Zhao Hai while implicating Megan, this would create a rift between Smith and Zhao Hai. This would be very beneficial for them."
Might's expression turned serious, "If that's the case, then we'll be in danger. The Radiant Church might think that we're part of Zhao Hai's group and deal with us. We need to remind the family to pay more attention to this."
Marriott smiled faintly and said, "Do you think that the family hasn't thought about this? They have already thought about it, but Zhao Hai has a lot of benefits. Additionally, the Radiant Church didn't have any relationship with us in the past few years. They also robbed a lot of business from us. Because of this, the family decided to cooperate with Zhao Hai. Now, I just hope that Smith wouldn't get angry with Zhao Hai. If he does, then Zhao Hai would lose Smith's support, which wouldn't be good for him and us. "
Might nodded and said, "I hope so. But I think that Zhao Hai will come here to discuss business with us in the next two days. When that time comes, we'll be able to see Zhao Hai's attitude. But if this matter was really done by Lionheart, then he's really stupid. Not only did he offend our family, he also offended the Calci Family. Does he want to die too slowly?"
Marriott smiled faintly and said, "I think that the current Grand Duke Lionheart is a bit like the Buda Clan of the Aksu Empire. They are actually a sword in Rosen Emperor's hand. This matter might be related to the Rosen Emperor's shadow. It's just that the Rosen Emperor didn't expect that the sword in his hand would go out of his control and become arrogant."
Might sneered and said, "Grand Duke Lionheart doesn't even have the qualifications to be a member of the Buda Clan. If the Buda Clan didn't suddenly die, then it would be impossible for them to fall. This is because they were very obedient and very low-key. Their family's descendant, Adam, I heard that he was very dandy. I think that this was done deliberately by the Buda Clan so that no one would suspect them of having ambitions. Nobody would pay attention to a dandy, and even if the Buda Clan was in trouble, they would still be able to survive because of Adam's dandy. Facts have proven that the Buda Clan was very successful. When the Buda Clan was under the Emperor, they didn't receive any suspicions, the Emperor trusted them very much. And when the Buda Clan fell, Adam managed to escape with his life. Although he was banished, the Buda Clan managed to survive. Lionheart's son was a martial arts genius, he didn't come in contact with the matters of the Clan. He was very famous in the circle of the Empire's nobles, which attracted the attention of the people. For Lionheart, this wasn't necessarily a good thing."
Marriott smiled faintly and said, "In every Empire, the old nobles have conflicts with the Royal Family. All the Royal Families are thinking about how to deal with the old nobles. In fact, this is because the old nobles are too strong. The reason why our Shelley Family isn't in this kind of danger is because we're a merchant family. Moreover, we aren't as strong as the Markey Family, so nobody would pay attention to us."
Might smiled and said, "You're right, but the Markey Family is really unlucky. For the sake of the Haven products, they actually forced Laura to rebel. In the end, it was Zhao Hai who benefited from it. Hahaha, Zhao Hai is also very fierce. Laura is really a beauty, and she's even taller than Zhao Hai. No matter how you look at it, Zhao Hai isn't worthy of Laura. But Laura still likes him, she would rather fall out with her family for him.
Marriott looked at Might's expression and couldn't help but laugh, "How about it? Do you want Zhao Hai to teach you a thing or two? But I think it would be very difficult for you to learn. After all, Zhao Hai is a Space Mage. "
Might also smiled and said, "Forget it, I don't have that kind of ability. But to be honest, Lionheart offending Zhao Hai was a mistake. Not only did Zhao Hai destroy a lot of his people, he also lost a lot of face. I think he wouldn't be able to hold on for long."
