The second batch of explorers was about to depart. Suhlen summoned Boulder back from Maple City and asked him to lead the explorers to the east coast.
Last night, Su Lun severely taught Hathaway a lesson and made her beg for mercy under his Thunder Spear. He went in and out seven times and killed all of them.
When Su Lun woke up the next day, there was a hubbub outside. Su Lun carefully removed several warm and fragrant bodies beside him. He simply washed and went out.
Outside, Su Lun saw Boulder and the caravan of North Town coming back with him. Boulder had sent a batch of shipwrights from the Kingdom of Florence to North Town.
Boulder brought back a lot of people. The construction of Maple City was still going on, so they couldn't transfer too many people. However, the caravan brought back a lot of slaves from the Kingdom of Florence. These slaves were chained up in groups of ten. They were thin and skinny, and their skin was a lot darker. They looked shorter than the people in North City.
"Where did you buy these slaves? They don't look like northerners. "Suhlen looked at the people in front of him and said.
The manager of the caravan bowed slightly and said, "Your Majesty, we received your message to recruit shipbuilders, so we immediately went to look for them. Thanks to you, we found these slaves in the slave market. They were slave shipbuilders sold by a company in the southern coastal countries, so we bought them all!"
"These slave shipbuilders were owned by a noble family, but that noble family went bankrupt due to poor management, so they had to pay off their debts."
Suhlen nodded slightly and said, "How many shipbuilders are there in total?"
The manager thought for a while and said, "There are 117 shipbuilders in total. Apart from them, there are also about 600 ordinary slaves. They are all able-bodied laborers. There are also 30 boxes of tea leaves and 30 boxes of porcelain. They are all stored in the warehouse in the city. "
"Well done." Suhlen nodded with satisfaction.
A caravan like this could bring 30,000 Kinnar to Northguard City every time. The number of caravans in Northguard City had expanded to more than a dozen, trading with the southern kingdoms, the Desert Kingdom, and the Lorenza Kingdom.
"Boulder, I'll leave these slaves to you. Send them all to Deepwater City," Suhlen said directly.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Boulder bowed.
Suhlen named the port that was being built in the east as Deepwater City. The sea level at the port was eight meters, which made it a pretty good port. After this group of people was sent over, the construction of Deepwater City would accelerate. After dealing with the matter, he returned to the study and sat down.
Suhlen took out a map of the southern port city and a topographic map of the surroundings of Deepwater City from the bookshelf and began to compare them. It was also the first time that Suhlen had seen such a port city. Therefore, when designing Deepwater City, they needed to gain some experience from those port cities in the south.
As a powerful professional, he could easily control the muscles on his arms. Even if he didn't use any tools when drawing the design, the straight lines he drew were almost the same as using tools. Ten minutes later, a blueprint was completed.
Suhlen followed the layout of the southern port city and combined it with the topography of the east coast. The basic structure of the city was drawn on the blueprint, including the roads, residential areas, trade areas, warehouses, sentry towers, military camps, and so on.
The most important part of the city was the port and shipyard. Trade was the most important thing in a port city, so the docks and warehouses were the most important. A large number of warehouses were built near the docks to make it convenient to store goods. The port had to be large, and they had to pay attention to the wind and waves. In fact, Suhlen was considering whether to build a breakwater.
Some things in this world were better than in his previous one, such as transforming nature, moving mountains, and filling the sea. It was not too difficult for wizards. Even if the hydrology of Deepwater City was not good, he could still build a Deepwater Port.
Deepwater City was located on the southeast coast, so it had a lot of rain. The roads and sewers in the city had to be specially marked, especially the sewers. If they were to follow the standards of North Town City, they would easily cause water to accumulate. The distribution of toilets and sanitation also needed to be paid attention to.
The problem with the sewers was simple. As long as the layout was reasonable and the sewers were dug deep, it would be fine. The main problem was the hardening of the roads. Port cities had a lot of rain, and if the roads were not hardened, they would become muddy, which would greatly affect the transportation of goods. Therefore, the roads in Deepwater City needed to be paved with stone slabs or Mud to Stone spells.
Because of the trade problem, port cities had a lot of people. Caravans from all over the world would come here to trade, which put a lot of pressure on the sanitation of the city. At the same time, there was another problem: infectious diseases.
Infectious diseases were frequent in this world, such as plague, cholera, and plagues. Once these diseases broke out, they would quickly spread. The soldiers in North Town City were fine because they were healthy and had strong immune systems. However, ordinary people were not. If an infectious disease broke out, it would definitely be a disaster.
Although there were wizards in this world, they did not have a way to treat a large-scale plague. They could only quarantine it. Suhlen clearly remembered that a plague broke out in the Sadran Kingdom in the south a few decades ago. In just two months, it spread to the Genoa Port in the west of the continent and then to the Kingdom of Kerbal. In just a few months, it had swept across half of the continent.
It was said that some small cities were turned into ghost towns.
After designing the roads, Suhlen began to design the other areas in the city. In addition to the roads in the city, they also needed to design a road that led directly to the port. This road would need at least eight carriages to transport goods. At the same time, the land in the port area needed to be leveled, and the warehouses and berths for the ships needed to be designed.
Suhlen designed the port, the warehouses, and the berths according to the southern port cities. After all, they had been a port city for hundreds of years. The design of the port and the berths were very perfect.
After the design was completed, he began to think about the wizards that would be sent to Deepwater City. A trading city like Deepwater City would not be safe if there were no wizards to guard it. Suhlen planned to send Andre and some wizard apprentices. Andre had the blood of a water demon, so his fighting power in the sea would be enhanced.
Of course, Suhlen also needed to arrange a laboratory for him. There was no need to think about a wizard tower. Perhaps he could build a small wizard tower about 30 meters tall without a tower spirit. It would be equivalent to a high-grade laboratory.
