Struggle to build a country in the world of pirates

Lei Luo brought his new bodyguard and secretary, Meiya, to the large conference room. The conference room was flanked by 4 rows of tables and chairs from high to low, a long red solid wood table, and a spacious aisle in the center. In front is the king's throne, and on the left is a small throne reserved for Lei Luo.

Today was a national-level meeting. Lei Luo sighed. He was finally doing something good. He was just a minister before, or a nobleman who was a relative of unknown generations. He couldn't find anyone to employ him. Looking at what he was doing didn't count. With a full staff, the team was finally put together.

It's no wonder that before, my father was tired of making noises. He didn't have many useful people under him, and his management was in a mess.

During the month of recruit assessment, Lei Luo reorganized the cabinet.

The left minister - Gail Bulwer, my father's original minister, is a 50-year-old man who is in good health, honest, and behaves in a satisfactory manner.

Right Minister - Helen Maud, who is also one of my father's old subordinates. This 35-year-old uncle is selected from the aristocracy. He is capable and well-respected. He is also somewhat related to my family. My grandfather's sister married into their family. He and My father must be a cousin. The relationship is too confusing to sort out.

The Minister of Household Affairs - Ives Billy, a grassroots cadre, turned out to be the village chief. He is 44 years old this year. He is enthusiastic, understands the sentiments of the people, and is familiar with the situation in various villages and towns.

Minister of Personnel - Gene Tuttle, also his father's original minister, is 54 years old this year. The old man has been in charge of personnel before and is familiar with the situation of officials inside and outside the palace.

The Minister of Punishment, Kama Anthony, was also a village official in the past. He was fair and his judgments were often believed by both the plaintiff and the defendant. [There was no law at all in this country before. What did the nobles and the royal family say? No wonder they all imitate the Celestial Dragons. 】

The Minister of Works, York Gibson, was a real estate developer who also started out as a labor leader. He built several projects in the city, including the Royal Academy and the Colosseum, and he did quite well.

Minister of Etiquette—Polly Jane (female), my father’s old lover, and my mother’s maid. She is very familiar with royal etiquette and diplomatic etiquette. It is said that she was once a slave of the Celestial Dragons and was rescued by her father. I don’t know if it’s true or not, but I heard this from my gossipy sister.

Minister of War - Lei Luo, let me take care of it first, there is no suitable person for the time being.

Minister of Finance-Lynn Henry, father's steward, before the royal money and the country's money were mixed together.

Minister of Commerce - Eastern Minister Chapman Giles

——Minister of the South Newman Falk

——Minister of the West Vacancy

——Northern Minister Vacancy

The left minister, Gail Bulwer, presided over the meeting. Each department reported on the recent work results and the next part of the work. Fortunately, there were no long speeches, and they were all relatively dry.

The old king nodded symbolically, knowing that it was his turn to speak. He looked at Lei Luo and said, "Luo'er, on behalf of me, please convey the next step of the work."

This kind of meeting is usually held once a quarter to discuss important matters and summarize the work content and key points.

Lei Luo asked someone to bring a huge sea map and spread it on the ground. On it was drawn the landform of his country, as well as the surrounding sea areas, islands, and countries.

Lei Luo walked on the sea chart and said: "During this period, through everyone's efforts, our country's economy has been greatly improved. This is mainly thanks to Minister Giles and Minister Falk for bringing us cotton. Wagyu and sheep”

Everyone applauded and the two stood up to thank them.

Lei Luo continued: "Minister Fokker, everyone already knows the situation on Beast Island. There are more than ten people killed and injured, and there are many dangers. Thank you for your hard work last time. Except for the necessary elite troops to improve their training, Beast Island is temporarily closed."

"The next step is to establish a meat factory to quickly multiply the livestock brought back into shape. In terms of food research and development, it can be made into cans, sausages, and cooked foods with a long shelf life. We often go to sea, and the food has a long shelf life so that we can sail long distances."

——Southern Minister Newman Falk: "Yes, Your Highness, the location of the factory has been decided, and the equipment is also being purchased. The breeding situation is that cattle are bred twice a year, with 2-5 animals each time, and pigs are bred three times a year. , producing 8-3 sheep each time, and sheep are bred twice a year, 8-12 sheep each time; according to the current situation, domestic demand can be met within one year, and product output can be large-scale in two years."

"Although we will not go to the Beast Island in the south, there are more than 20 islands from our country to the Beast Island. We need to find out whether there are any countries, residents, or pirate strongholds. What resources are there on the islands, their area and Climate. So is Cotton Island to the east. Next, our main goal - expansion."

Everyone present stood up and said "yes"; as if to witness the birth of a powerful empire.

Lei Luo saw everyone's excitement, motioned to sit down, and then said: "Eastern Governor Giles, you know the situation on Cotton Island better. Please tell us in detail."

Giles: "Yes, Cotton Island is farther away from us. There are three small countries in the middle, with a population of less than 3 people. There are 34 remaining known islands, 6 of which are inhabited, and two are pirates. There are no people on Cotton Island, and there are no wild beasts. There are only some birds, many flowers, many bees, and the specialty honey is good. It can be developed. Cotton is a large area on the island, half of it, about 80 acres. .My suggestion is to develop on the island, which can save transportation costs."

Lei Luo thought about it: "What about other people's opinions?"

The left minister did not express his opinion, but the right minister said: "The distance is a bit far. If there is an emergency, it is difficult to control. Moreover, if the population is mobilized to live so far away, will the people be willing?"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Lei Luo continued: "Difficulties are inevitable, but I also have to face it. In the long run, the domestic area is limited, and we must make reasonable use of it. In the future, the local area will retain its basic self-sufficiency and needs large-scale planting. , or on the outer island.”

"The local planning will also need to be rearranged. In the future, this will be a cultural center, an economic center, a political center, and a military center. Every piece of land must be used rationally."

"The two ministers will work with the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry to come up with a planning drawing for backup."

Everyone: "Yes"

Lei Luo continued: "In addition, the concerns of the right minister just now are unnecessary. I said that the next plan is to expand externally. The training of troops is of course for the purpose of using troops. I will gradually clear all obstacles to Cotton Island."

The left minister, Gale Bulwer, said worriedly: "If we use troops against other countries, will it attract the attention of the navy, and will the world government be dissatisfied?"

Lei Luo: "It's not a joining country, it's okay. As long as the navy doesn't have a head-on conflict with them, it's okay."

"Now the shipyard has produced one large warship, four medium-sized warships, and two cargo ships, plus the existing eight small warships. All of them have been brought out for training. We want to show friendship to several countries. The Ministry of Rites, you are the best. Go." [Large warships can accommodate 200 people] [Medium-sized ships can accommodate 100 people] [Small ships can accommodate 50 people]

Minister of Etiquette - Polly Jane (female): "Yes" [You are not friendly here, it is clearly a threat of force. 】
