Steel, Guns, and the Industrial Party that Traveled to Another World

Paul Graman stayed in Fulan Port longer than initially expected.

During this time, he met with merchants of all sizes in the town and expressed his vision of developing ocean trade. He planned to set up a trading company - there was no such organizational form as "company" in this world - to allow merchants in the territory to invest.

In front of the lord, the merchants were all submissive. In this world, except for the Jiaowan Alliance, which was founded on commerce, merchants from other countries had no political status and were often slaughtered as fat sheep by various powerful bosses.

As soon as Paul expressed his vision, he naturally received full applause with the prestige of the lord's status, but everyone still thought that the lord's wallet was empty, and he made up a reason to ask them for money according to the routine used by the nobles.

Paul saw that the merchants were insincere, but he was not angry. It takes time to change people's ideas. He was just giving the merchants a heads-up and did not plan to raise funds immediately.

There are still some pirates on the sea that have not been cleared out, and the full sailing ship for ocean voyages has not been built yet. It is too early to make a big promise now.

He also met with the former mayor, Peter. The old man regained consciousness under the careful care of his granddaughter Susan. After waking up, someone told him what happened in the church that day. He was so scared that he immediately got up from the bed. Regardless of his body not being fully recovered, he went to Paul to plead guilty and asked him to forgive his granddaughter's offense.

Paul comforted him with kind words and took a lot of effort to make the old man believe that he would not settle accounts later.

After learning that he was dismissed from the position of mayor by the lord and replaced as the consultant of the new mayor, Peter felt lost. Although he was often bullied by both sides in this position, like a mouse in a bellows, he had been doing this for most of his life after all, and it was a bit difficult to adapt to being suddenly dismissed from this position.

But he said that he would do his best to assist the new mayor to complete various tasks.

After learning that the new lord had wiped out the pirates and promised to protect the town forever, Old Peter was very excited and grateful to Paul. He prayed to the Lord of Light to bless the lord with a long life.

The various tasks of the navy construction were also carried out closely. After the recruitment standards were formulated, more than 300 new soldiers were recruited one after another.

Austin, the commander of the Northwest Bay Fleet, who had been promoted to temporary major and served as the captain of the first squadron of the first brigade of the Northwest Bay Fleet, was very busy these days and had almost no time to rest.

The shipyard headed by Rubin worked overtime to rush to build two rammed galleys and renovated four fishing boats for naval training.

The new mayor and deputy mayor selected by General Ford arrived in Fulan Port shortly after the public trial and soon began their administrative work.

According to Paul's order, they will transplant the system in Lake Heart Town to Fulan Port, such as public toilets, public baths, trash cans, water shops, etc., and the Earl will also ask them to carry out work such as population census.

Paul also told them to respect the consultant Old Peter, ask for advice humbly, and cooperate well.

In addition, the church in the center of the town was ordered to be transformed into a building called "Government Building" to be used as the office of administrative personnel in the future. The new church will be built elsewhere. The new mayor was hinted by the Earl to build the church in a remote place.

After entering July, Paul decided to return to Lake Heart Town. Before leaving, he inspected the nascent navy and said boldly: "Our journey is the sea of ​​stars."

Although the word "stars" is confusing, it does not prevent the young people in the team from being excited and shouting to feed the remaining pirates to the fish.

The second infantry battalion was left in Fulan Port to help the navy, which had not yet formed combat effectiveness, defend against pirates. After saying goodbye to everyone, the Earl led the first infantry battalion to the direction of Lake Heart Town.

…

The temperature in July was already very hot, and near noon, the sun was even more scorching the earth.

“It’s much cooler here than in the south.” Quiller Foster from the Horn Bay Alliance said happily.

Young Master Foster will follow Paul to Lake Heart Town to see the “novelty” he wants to sell. He is interested in anything unfamiliar, as he has the ideal of becoming an adventurer.

But his ideal encountered some twists and turns. Meru, the leader of the Lichman Adventure Group, still did not agree to his joining the group, and was quite dissatisfied with Young Master Foster’s decision to stay in the Northwest Bay for a while.

If Quiller stayed here, they had to follow him. If they left Quiller behind and went back, they would not get the mission commission money, and the mission completion rate in the guild would be reduced. Naturally, the Lichman Adventure Group also had to follow Queller to the Lake Town to ensure his personal safety.

Along the way, Paul chatted with him casually.

"Really? I still feel very hot." Paul, who grew up in the north, had never experienced the heat in the south, and his words made Queller feel that he was not grateful for what he had.

"But look at that girl named Ladi, she is still wrapped up so tightly in such a hot day, it's really strange." Paul whispered to Queller.

"It's true when you say that, and there is no sweat on her face?" Queller also found the strangeness.

Even though Queller and the other members of the Lichman Adventure Group came from the south and were more heat-resistant, they wore as little as possible at this time, and even so, sweat continued to seep out of their faces.

Only Miss Scholar Ladi was still wrapped in thick and tight clothes, and she was wearing a scholar's hat, which looked strange with the bow and arrow on her back. And everyone was sweating profusely while rushing on the road, but Miss Scholar was not sweating at all.

She found that Paul was looking at her, and immediately raised her hand to pull down the brim of her hat to cover her face.

No mistake, one post, one content, one 6, one book, one bar, one look!

"Hehe, you look at me shy." Queller joked.

"No way, I think you scared me!" Paul denied it flatly.

Seeing that it was approaching noon, the Earl ordered to stop the march, and the troops disbanded to rest in the shade of the trees on both sides of the road and solve the problem of stomach by the way.

After doing a good job of vigilance, the soldiers entered the woods on the roadside and took out the dry food they brought with them to eat.

Paul, Queller and others also sat on the ground and ate their own food. Everyone found that the young earl ate the same black bread as the soldiers.

The killer named Kai whispered to Dean who was sitting next to him: "I thought the lord would treat us to a big meal."

Dean rolled his eyes at him: You wishful thinking, even if he is inviting, he will invite the young master.

At this time, the ears of the scholar lady Ladi moved slightly.

She raised her head and said: "It seems that someone is shouting for help!"

All of a sudden, everyone became nervous.
