Alien world

Chapter 221 74. The annoying Annan
Flying edelweiss falls in the quiet bay.

In the cold winter, people lose their temperature, and the frozen wind and snow quietly blend into the earth after falling on the soil.This heavy snow will wake up the plants that have been silent for a winter faster.

The bad weather did not dampen the interest of the residents, they braved the heavy snow to prepare for the next spring plowing.

There are pointers embedded on all sides of the clock tower, which means that residents can clearly know the current time no matter where they look up. The glacial river and the bay show signs of melting, and the raw materials for the construction of the harbor and shipyard have been neatly piled up on the beach.

As soon as the snow stopped on the third day, the leaders couldn't wait to lead the cattle to the suburbs, standing on both sides of the road to loosen the soil and fertilize.

The lord's mansion has begun to take shape, and the preserved wood grains and carvings have both the thickness of the northern border and the natural style of the elves.
Annan went in once out of curiosity, and the echo was clearer than expected... He wanted to pick some maids, but Ingrid said it was not possible—unless the maids who accepted the Lord's Mansion were all over 30 years old and had a similar body shape to Aunt Susan.

The northern border is getting warmer day by day. After the first rain at the end of March, Xingyue Bay officially started farming. Bags of wheat seeds were sent to the farmland, and the farmers worked hard.

This kind of busyness lasted for several days. One night, Annan stepped out of the Dawn Tavern and heard the sound of the tide brought by the sea breeze.

The snow on the bay and the ice layer has also begun to melt, and the glacier river in the north has also turned into a gurgling stream, and the wet riverbed suddenly lacks a piece of ice.

The port was ready to set sail, and Fabian Clemente, who was hired from Breeze City at a high price and was said to have been "one of the architects of the Royal Port of the Tatum Empire", proudly sat on a shaking sampan and chose the location of the port.

Annan felt that he was worthy of being a big man who came from the capital of the empire. No matter the neat streets, exquisite houses, or towering clock towers, he didn't stop for a while.

Not long after, Fabian Clemente, who had been wandering around the bay, returned dissatisfied.

He said that the bay can only be a shallow harbor at best, and because it is in the north, half of the year is covered with ice.But for the closed Xingyue Bay, as long as it can be navigable with the outside world.

Annan and Fabian Clermontage settled on the location of the port: trestles hanging like swinging ropes over the crescent of the bay.This location will not change the layout of the town, nor will it spoil the scenery of Xingyue Bay.

The next day, they began to build the foundation and lay the trestle.

Planting, building, and collecting, Xingyue Bay is full of busy scenes, but Annan has nothing to do at this time, sitting in the mansion boredly signing the documents sent by Ingrid.

It's all trivial things: such as the collection of limestone mines, the sales of cement, the income of two magic images, the goods and trade volume brought by merchants.

The eldest sister Itilia in the evening letter said that this is what a lord should do.So Annan wanted to let Firecrow bring these things to Osulonde, and he almost did so. If he didn't think about the consequences, he might have sent the eldest sister and second sister to Breeze City.

The next day was sunny and sunny.Annan, who had nothing to do, ran out.Respond to the respectful greetings from the people along the way.The workers were working enthusiastically on the beach. Annan watched from a distance for a while, approaching the glacier river.This river originating from the snow-capped mountains has not completely thawed, and there are only icy winding streams at the bottom of the river bed.

The women washed their clothes in the upper reaches of the river, until the rough words were carried by the wind, and Annan fled back to Xingyue Bay in a hurry.

Mr. Victor was teaching the children, and Annan appeared at the window, looking at the future of Xingyue Bay—the children sat at the desks and listened to the lectures.

Besides Abby's brother and the children from the orphanage, there were some older children, like Joan.

"Lord Lord!"

The children at the lively age quickly found Annan, some shouted, some waved their arms, and some looked timidly.

"What are you doing here?"

Every wrinkle on Mr. Victor's face was full of dissatisfaction with Annan's disruption of classroom order.

"I just... I'm leaving now."

Annan followed suit and winked at Joan, who was sitting among the children, who turned his head away.

Seeing Mr. Victor's face stretched into daisies in front of the children, Annan had to realize, the top [-] mage apprentices in the Kingdom of Rikaner?It's not that he was coaxed into losing his temper by a group of children who were about the same height as goblins.

Thinking of the goblin, Annan ran to the factory area again.

The spinning mill is adjacent to the spinning wheel factory. After a winter of digestion, the price of cotton fabrics in the northern market has stabilized—about one-third lower than before the Susan Spinning Machine.

The cotton coat that originally cost eight or nine silver coins now only costs six silver coins.

Suzanne's spinners are much worse... original 30g spinners are down to 10g, still half as expensive as those goblin and workshop ones - you put the spindles up?We also put the spindles up and added to 15 spindles -- you increased the spindles to 15?Let's add 30, and it only takes two female workers or an animal to turn, and only 10 gold.

In the face of these radical improvements, Annan's "original" advantages disappeared.

The spinning mill was not working, only goblins playing in the open space.They gathered around chirping, hoping that Annan would let them do something, and there were still a bunch of goblins waiting for them to send money back.

Annan thought for a while and said, "Why don't you bring your people to Xingyue Bay?"

The goblins burst into loud cheers, then circled, hugged, and slammed into walls in the clearing.

"What do you want so many goblins for?" asked Dole, the clever one among the goblins and also the little leader of the goblins.

"What do you think the future of Xingyue Bay will be like?"

"A marvelous city!" Dolet admired sincerely.

"anything else?"

"And... do I live here?" The wise man carefully observed Annan's reaction, "Is this my home?"

Annan imitated Olmedo's warm smile: "This is the answer. Xingyue Bay will become a city in the future, and Xingyue Bay is your home."

Dole couldn't wait to go back to the lair and bring the clansmen hiding underground, but Annan said that a few people would be enough to go back.

"What can we do for you?" After being excited, Dolei couldn't think of how his group could help Annan.

"Go ahead and make the spinning machines, and improve them."

The quality of cotton yarn of multi-spindle spinning machine is a bit worse than that of single-spindle, but poor people are not picky.

And these spinning machines can be sold to the south, the Principality of Keating should not have enough time to make spinning machines everywhere.

Annan went to visit the women workers next door, and the cotton yarn they spun became one of the main goods delivered to the merchants.After leaving the factory, Annan, who had nothing to do, continued to wander around, turning around in front of the busy people, and finally aroused public anger.
