Chapter 206 Hyer Agrees

After the servant went down to convey Krober's order, he began to discuss the construction plan of Black Feather Island with Foster.

"I hope to turn Black Feather Island into a purely commercial island."

Krober said, his eyes twinkling.

"The land on the island will no longer be used to grow crops. I want to convert them into commercial areas."

Krober continued to explain:

"This can attract more merchants to trade and provide various goods and services."

"I understand what you mean, sir..."

Foster nodded in understanding.

"Yes, judging from the current area of ​​Scorched Earth Island and Amethyst Island, agricultural production must be enough to be self-sufficient.

Therefore, the land resources of Black Feather Island should be better utilized to develop commercial activities. "

"Then what buildings do we mainly build? Are they still based on the previous taverns and entertainment facilities?"

Foster asked.

“No, we first need to build shops so that merchants from all over the world can set up shops here to sell their goods;

Secondly, there is the tavern for people to rest and have fun;

There are also other entertainment facilities, such as casinos, which are big tax collectors. "

Krober was thinking while describing his future plans.

"Understood, sir, I will arrange these things as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, an official will help you deal with this later. I will ask him to write a plan for you at that time."

After a delicious lunch, Krober was satisfied and rode Griffin to Amethyst Island.

It didn't take long for Krober to return to Amethyst Island.

At the camp, he saw Hewell and Samuel enjoying lunch.

Hewell has not changed much since before Klober left, but he looks much tanned, indicating that he has been working hard during this period.

Samuel's changes seemed to be bigger. His face was pale and his figure was thin. It was obvious at a glance that he had stayed up late during this period.

"grown ups."

"Sir, you are back."

When the two saw Krober, they quickly stood up and saluted.

"Sit down and eat first."

Krober nodded, motioned for the two of them to sit down first, and then returned to his seat to ask about the current progress of the construction work on Amethyst Island.

"Sir, the current construction progress of Amethyst Island has exceeded the plan by about 10%, and the port and surrounding buildings have been completed.

The castle you live in is expected to be completed in a few days. When you come back, you can attend the completion ceremony in person and name the castle. "

Hewell lived up to his reputation as a hard worker, even taking the documents that needed to be processed today with him when he was eating.

He flipped through the documents while eating, and finally came to the conclusion that the castle was almost completed.

"Okay, then I'll wait. Samuel, you write a letter and ask the management of the other islands to handle the matters at hand within the next few days and head to Amethyst Island for meetings."

"Yes, sir!"

Samuel swallowed his steak and stood upright to accept the order.

"Also, you are not allowed to stay up late from today on! I will announce the news in the next few days and recruit several new magicians to serve on Amethyst Island. You are responsible for leading them.

But if you dare to stay up late again and let me catch you, I will remove you as the leader of the magician team. "

"Please don't worry, sir, I will never stay up late again!"

Samuel patted his chest, but that look really made it difficult for Krober to believe him.

"Go down...it's hard to be convincing with your appearance."

After sending Samuel away, Krober discussed with Hewell some other trivial matters in the territory.

While chatting, Krober told Hewell about the new political systems he thought about.

In the meeting in a few days, Hewell and his family will be one of the only aristocrats to be named, and Krober needs to prepare him mentally.

And things turned out just as Krober expected. After hearing Krober's thoughts, Heier also showed an expression of disbelief.

"Sir, this? This is inappropriate!"

Hewell rejected Krober's proposal immediately because this system would cause too great a loss to the interests of their aristocratic class.

"Why? Is there anything bad about this?"

Krober asked.

"That's for sure, my lord, the ownership of the land no longer belongs to the nobles!"

"Then why do you want land? Isn't it just to collect taxes and increase your family's wealth?"

"this....."

Hewell wanted to refute something, but Krober did not let him continue.

"I will give you the title of noble, whether it is baron or viscount, this kind of thing has never been changed.

Money, I will give it to you. I will bear all the expenses of your fiefdom but only get 40% of the income, and this 40% will be used on your own territory.

You can redeem your training resources at the Amethyst Chamber of Commerce that I plan to set up. As a noble of the Amethyst Islands, you can enjoy the lowest price on the market.

I can build you a castle for your family’s residence, and your family has the permanent right to use this castle.

And you only have to pay for a nominal ownership. Isn’t this a big disadvantage? "

Krober's words were like a devil's whisper lingering in Heyer's ears.

To be honest, Krober's conditions are indeed very favorable.

The pioneering nobles are not as glamorous as they seem.

This can be seen from Kroeber. In order to build the medium-sized island of Amethyst Island, not only did he use the monthly tax revenue of Black Feather Island as a transfusion, but he also invested 200,000 gold coins but didn't hear any sound.

If it weren't for the selfless dedication of the Crab Claw Family, Amethyst Island would probably fall into a long period of development stagnation.

If Kroeber really gave him a small island, with the current strength of Blue Jacaranda, it would probably take several years to build a decent residence, let alone a castle.

And now Kroeber has borne all the expenses of the pioneering period, and he has everything he should have.

Title, tax, status, cultivation resources, aren't these what the nobles want?

But the aristocratic class's natural pursuit of land in Haier made him entangled.

Even though his reason has been telling him that agreeing to Kroeber's request will not cause any great loss, he has remained silent and did not agree to Kroeber's request.

If he agreed, he and his family would become nobles under Krober, with titles, taxes and various resources.

Not only could they avoid the cost of developing territory in the early stage, they could just sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labor.

More importantly, their interests would be consistent with Krober's. Only a relationship based on interests would be the most solid. Hyer could not be unaware of this simple truth.

And all he had to pay was the ownership of the land.....

After thinking it over and over again, Hyer raised his head, and his resolute eyes proved that he had made his choice.

"Sir, I agree with your proposal. I will strongly support the implementation of the new system. Please rest assured."
