In Port Pula a week later, Lawrence and Nora appeared in the port warehouse area of ​​the port city at the same time. As a port that was regained only after the Liberation War decades ago, this port soon became the largest and most prosperous port in the empire due to its excellent geographical location and hydrogeographic conditions in the port area.

At the same time, because there happens to be a river passing by the city of this port, and a boat with a maximum displacement of 3,500 tons from the pier next to the river, you can reach the capital Wendo Bona unimpeded all the way up the river.

Therefore, this port has naturally become a prosperous place in the entire empire second only to the capital. From here, not only can you buy a large number of products from the empire, but also goods from all over the world. There are countless businessmen, nobles and ordinary people here chasing their wealth and dreams.

Since Lawrence knew that he had acquired an island, he packed up his luggage and came here with Nora. Because after reading the information about the territory he belonged to before, he found that if he followed his plan, he would need to prepare more things to take with him.

According to the information that Lawrence checked before, the information on the island is more than 60,000 square kilometers and has very good water, heat and vegetation conditions. This information is true. The empire has indeed colonized it for more than 100 years. But the problem is that over 100 years of development did not allow the empire to gain any benefits from this island, and even lost a lot of money.

At the beginning, this was a direct territory of the empire, but the empire finally couldn't hold it after losing money for 30 years. So he tried to canonize this land to the nobles. But whether the entire land was canonized to the big nobles or divided into several pieces and canonized to the small nobles, those nobles could not carry it for too long.

According to the information collected by Lawrence, the nobles who were canonized here had not carried it for an average of ten years, and then they tried their best to find the emperor Yifeng. So far this land has been canonized to Lawrence.

"So, I can call you a great scavenger earl." After reading the specific situation of this island, Nora's first reaction was to complain about Lawrence. Because this island really has no characteristics except for its area and water and heat conditions, it is difficult to develop. "Obviously, your emperor threw this island to you as rubbish."

"What you said makes sense." Lawrence shrugged a little helplessly, because he felt that the reason why the emperor was able to give him such a big one and at the same time grant him almost independent rights, purely hope that he will not be like the group before. The nobleman ran back to make trouble after a few years like that, resolutely demanding another territory.

Otherwise, even to stop the nobles and establish their own image. The emperor did not need to canonise this land equivalent to the area of ​​the duke to the earl of Lawrence.

After several days of analysis, Lawrence found that this island is really difficult to develop. Because there are no mineral deposits on the island, there are no special extraordinary creatures, and there are no very expensive woods or special spices that can be sold, so it is naturally impossible to attract those who want to get rich overnight.

On the other hand, although this island is located in a circle of countries around the Sea of ​​Stars, it is still some distance away from the mainland and shipping routes, so it is impossible to develop as a trading hub like the New Lufthansa that Lawrence visited before.

To make matters worse, even if you want to farm safely here, it is very difficult. Because the whole island doesn't know how to have a large number of goblins, forcing the people on that island to cultivate land only at the seaside and some places that are easy to defend and difficult to attack. Therefore, the area that can be planted by the people is not much.

This is also the reason why the nobles gave up before. Although everyone can easily kill the goblins on the flat ground by the sea, once they go deep into the island, they will find that the goblins use the dense jungle on the island and the natural and artificial caves in the middle of the island. The mountains and hills have built a terrain that is very suitable for their fighting methods, and it is difficult for humans to fight the goblins on this terrible terrain.

"Don't forget the Americans in the 60s and 70s." Nora said, "I believe that the grass on this island will make goblin calls. It can be as difficult as the sky to clear them, but if you don't clear them Otherwise, the island will not develop."

"You're right, and that's why we came to this place to purchase." Lawrence said as he watched the workers who were busy moving the things in the warehouse to the ship, and then spoke with a voice that only two people could hear. Say. "By the way, mix the goods shipped from our place and transport them in this consignment."

The reason Lawrence came to this harbor to purchase was to purchase a large amount of building materials and tools to transport to that island, and then to clear up a piece of land as quickly as possible to clear the goblins on that piece of land and build a fortress to guard that place. Finally, rely on this safe place to recruit people. After this land has stabilized, follow the law to expand the sphere of influence to the next place.

According to the information he inquired, all the people who wanted to occupy the island before were greedy for everything. They tried to clean up all the goblins on the island in one fell swoop in order to occupy the island in one fell swoop, but they all ended dismal. So this time Lawrence simply chose to steadily nibble step by step.

Anyway, for him, if the Baize bloodline can be awakened continuously, it will give him a long life. So the time he had and the pesky goblins on the island was slowly wasting. In addition, his father had already disconnected most of the family's properties in the Old World from other branches of the family, and now the core members of the entire family are the two of them. So it's not like the people who owned islands before are eager to realize it.

Also, after a large number of tools and development plans were formulated for the jackals of the astral plane, the productivity of the entire plane was greatly improved. A lot of cheap building materials can be provided for this plan of building and cannibalizing.

Therefore, Lawrence is quite confident in the development of the island~lightnovelpub.net~ not to mention that his relatives and friends have greatly helped him. For example, his father is now organizing staff and followers in Sauer County to prepare to move to the island as a whole. For example, after sending a telegram to the Federation, a lot of friends are willing to go to the island to help him.

Among them, Fatina made it clear that she would rent a boat with her ratman clan and move directly to the island with Syfiel. If there were no accidents, they would arrive earlier than Lawrence and start working.

Considering that his actions were indeed a bit unkind, the emperor also signaled that the bank under the royal family gave Lawrence an interest-free loan equivalent to 10 million yuan from the White Eagle Federation and allowed him to repay it slowly over ten years. In addition, the emperor gave Lawrence a 600-ton steel keel and wooden sail gunship equipped with six 150mm artillery and two 120mm artillery, which was built for half a year, as a gift from the royal family to Lawrence.

In addition to using that loan to purchase, Lawrence also had another job to recruit people to drive away the warship. At the same time, Lawrence arrived at the island with a group of leaders and retainers who followed him from the fief.

Fortunately, these things are not difficult to do, especially since several of the followers and family members have worked as sailors, participated in the navy, and even served as retired officers in the position of chief officer on a small warship. With these reliable manpower as the backbone, Lawrence easily gathered the manpower needed to start the ship.

And these days the ship has been training in the offshore waters, preparing to wait for the merchant ships carrying the cargo to go directly to the island as an **** warship. And now Lawrence and the others are now looking at the shipment to the ship that happened to be the last shipment. If there is no accident, they will leave tomorrow.
