The next morning, in the city lord's office, Allen and others held a meeting as usual.

Baldwin reported on the recruitment situation. Currently, Laip Port has fifteen captains, 500 regular soldiers, 1000 reserve soldiers, and 1000 trainee soldiers. The reserve soldiers have ten captains, as well as the trainee soldiers.

Reserve troops are people who are only one actual combat away from becoming regular soldiers, while trainee soldiers are still just new recruits who need training.

Allen wrote a training guide based on the methods taught by those physically powerful men in the past and combined with his own experience in physical training. After reading it, Baldwin regarded it as a holy book and ran out to deploy the training plan excitedly.

Baird was presiding over the tax affairs, and the taxes were reduced by half, which put smiles on the faces of the entire Leip Port and the surrounding civilians who needed to pay taxes, but Baird was frowning.

He complained: "Your Highness, all the treasures we have obtained have been auctioned, but now there are only 5000 million beli on the books. The iron mine is burning money every day and there is no profit. Also, "that" person recruited on the island There are a little too many people, right? There are a total of sixteen villages around these days, and nearly [-] people from eight of them have been sent there by you... Supplies and other supplies are also being sent there..."

Allen smiled and said: "Don't be like this. You also know the situation on that island. There are gold and silver mines, and of course there are more people in need. The professional mining equipment will arrive soon. I talked to Casey last night , four sets of equipment, and the three sailboats I built belong to him."

"Also, the supplies should not be cut off, and the people on the island should also instill more loyalty to the country to make their material life better. After all, they are going to live there forever!"

Baird's eyelids twitched and he said: "I know, I will send someone to do this, but we need more supplies, especially wood. There is too little housing over there."

"You and Barron can discuss this." Allen released some rights, and he didn't need to take care of some small things.

After Allen finished speaking, the three deputy city lords looked at each other with joy in their eyes. Barron smiled and said:

"There is still a lot of wood. Only one-tenth of the trees five kilometers outside the city have been cut down. However, there are very few voluntary workers. I plan to turn everyone into laborers and pay a certain amount of beli every month. At noon Just eat a meal, and your efficiency and speed will be greatly improved."

Allen nodded and said:

"This can be done. We can't disappoint everyone. Those who have been insisting on doing labor can be promoted to team leaders. Also, it is enough to cut down only five kilometers of forest. We only need five kilometers of land dedicated to planting. Crops are enough. After all, our development focus is not on agricultural supplies. Minerals and stores will be the mainstream in the future. Food is abundant in other cities."

"Then why do we need to develop so much land?" Baird asked puzzledly: "In terms of taxes, there is already a lot of food..."

Allen smiled and started writing the plan. Barron smiled and said:

“First, it solves the problem of many people without jobs, which can reduce violence in the city. Second, the wood outside the city is a good material.

Third, there is not much food, or even less. Our soldiers will expand to 1 people in the future, and the main role of the area outside the city will be to grow different crops to supply our soldiers! "

"In this way, food safety will be guaranteed, and a lot of military expenses will be saved...Bayer

De, although you are smart in settling accounts, you are still far behind when it comes to people's livelihood! "

"That's it!" Baird said with a bitter smile: "I'd better go and settle the accounts. You need to support me, Badwin needs to spend money, and the mine needs to spend money. I need to carefully calculate and allocate the quota to you!"

After the meeting, Allen received an unexpected notice. His father personally informed him that Allen should follow him to attend the world conference to be held in a month. Several of their brothers and sisters went there together.

The World Conference is held every four years, and this conference will be held in one month.

Allen thought carefully for a long time and arranged his plan for this month. It would take at least a month before he could come back. If something unexpected happened during this period, he had to ensure that there wouldn't be any big problems in Laip Port.

As for the cause of the problems in Laip Port, there are basically no other reasons besides pirates. Then, it is only necessary to deploy the defense of the coast and port.

The Kingdom of Lyell does not have the ability to manufacture artillery and firearms, or in other words, most countries do not have this ability. A large part of this is due to the restrictions of the world government, and guns are officially prohibited from being traded.

But in this regard, Allen found that the world is very strange. Guns are very common in this world. Even if many people are walking around with guns arrogantly and the navy sees them, no one will take care of them. This is very confusing and very confusing. Strange place.

The question was too profound, and Allen was too lazy to find out. However, he now has the ability to produce firearms. He sent a few people to the capital, and those few people will train many apprentices. The weapons production line of the Kingdom of Lyle It will be expanded soon.

(There are too many confusing places in One Piece, so don’t be too serious about gun manufacturing)

The deepest he dug into was that people in the underground society sold muskets, and the sources of these people's weapons were probably the same as those he captured, working for a certain dark force.

Bailey goes out every day like water, but Allen doesn't care about it. He currently has enough funds to support the first batch of ore from the large iron mine. By then, the steel produced will be a lot of shells. profit.

On this night, very suddenly, along with a sharp alarm, the sound of incoming pirates spread throughout Laip Port.

Allen withdrew from meditation, picked up the phone and communicated with everyone above the captain at the same time.

"Organize your own soldiers to go to the port in squad mode to block the attack. Reserve soldiers are ready to support at any time. Trainee soldiers patrol the city to keep everyone at home. If you encounter those who take advantage of the chaos and commit crimes, you can deal with them directly according to the situation. Take action and don't let the sea The thief took a step beyond the harbor!"

"Yes!" Everyone responded at the same time. The strict state and arrangements these days have worked. Although it was a temporary operation, everyone had assembled without any panic.

Allen rushed towards the port, and Baldwin reported the situation to him: "The other party is the "Flying Eagle Ship Group", a pirate group with a total of twenty ships and more than 2000 people, and the captain "Flying Eagle" Biwei Si, the bounty is 900 million Baileys!"

Allen's eyelids twitched and he said: "Defend with all your strength, don't feel bad about the bullets, keep pouring firepower towards the opponent!"

After saying that, he directly asked for assistance from the capital. A battle involving thousands of people cannot be decided in a short time. Even if he considers himself to be powerful, he would not dare to say that in such a battlefield. He can control the situation of the battle.
