Rise from the coffin and rebuild the vampire empire

Chapter 21 Stone Forest Port

"Uh, no, but aren't these essential skills for time travel? Cement, soap, glass, strong liquor, salt and sugar making, and so on."

[Wangchuan Qiuku] scratched his head. He read a lot of online novels and knew all these skills like the back of his hand.

Of course, it's okay for him to talk about these things, but it's a bit nonsense to ask him to put them into practice. Although a lot of knowledge used is the chemistry and physics knowledge he had learned before, he had already returned that knowledge to the teacher when he graduated.

Apart from some common sense, the rest is just "Aba Aba".

"You never know. Given how realistic this game is, it might actually work."

[Nobi Daqiong] thought about it and realized that he had a deep understanding of this in the past two days because he had been in charge of the cooking for two days.

Judging from the experience of cooking, [Nobi Daqiong] feels that some fancy operations may be possible. After all, food, like chemistry, is a technology that pays great attention to proportions. The food he makes basically tastes like the real world.

"What the hell? Are you serious?"

[Tengu is not a dog] I was stunned. Isn't this a fantasy adventure game? Okay, okay, this is how we play it, right? Do you want to make a clay gun with your hands?
Lyle, who was listening on the side, was very upset. These players were thinking too much. This is a world of swords and magic!
Moreover, is it possible that these technologies are not new?

Sea salt has been boiled in the camp all the time, and the alcohol content of the wine brought from the Old World is not low either. The winemaking technology in this world is not bad.

The reason for using this kind of wood to build houses is that this specialty wood from the New World is not only strong, but also not easy to corrode or catch fire.

Lyle was speechless. He had thought about all these things before, but later he realized that some common sense knowledge from his previous life could not be directly applied to this world of swords and magic, nor could it be applied to this world where gods existed.

Who would have thought that the reason why the steamships created by the dwarves could not sail long distances was that the ships made too much noise and easily attracted attacks from sea monsters?
This [Nobi Daichi] is a halfling and it’s okay for him to be a cook, which is in line with the character setting, but why is he involved in physical chemistry?
The players here were chatting enthusiastically, preparing to do something big, while on the other side, Karen had already found Uther Cremona.

After throwing [Wangchuan Qiuku] to Lyle, Karen saw Uther near the warehouse. It was already dawn.

"Master Karen, why are you here?"

Seeing that Karen was starting to feel warm, Uther quickly got off his horse and went to the warehouse with Karen.

"Where are we going?"

Karen asked curiously. There was a caravan parked outside the warehouse. All of them were horse-drawn carts. Young and strong men were carrying goods. The main goods they were carrying were wood and leather. There was no other way, as these two were the main output resources of the camp.

"I was just about to report to you that there's a bit of a backlog of goods in the warehouse. I plan to take some people to Shilin Port to process the goods and purchase some more supplies. Of course, if anyone is willing to settle here, I'll bring them back along the way."

Uther Cremona told Karen his plan. He had originally planned to report it to Karen later.

Stone Forest Port is the largest colonial city in the New World and the most important trading port connecting the New World and Torres Continent.

"Shilin Port"

Karen nodded, remembering Uther's previous request for supplies. The camp was actually well-stocked. Firstly, the hunters went hunting every day. They didn't venture deep into the forest, but only hunted on the outskirts. However, the forest was full of animals, and even hunting on the outskirts was a bountiful harvest.

The second is fishing. With the vast ocean as their backdrop, fishing and hunting cannot be given up. Fishing masters are also careful enough. They will not go too far out to sea, but just row a small boat to fish near the coast. They also have a good harvest, and a lot of dried fish are dried in the camp.

Young and strong people who have no skills have also started to cultivate the fields. The land in the New World is very fertile and there is no shortage of output. The main output of many colonies is various cash crops.

Buy some slaves, enclose a piece of land, and equip some guards, and a manor with good output will be built.

If you just want to have enough food, it is not a problem for the Cremona camp. The good thing about undeveloped land is that it is rich in various resources. As long as you are quick and nimble, you can not only have enough to eat, but also eat well.

The reason why Uther went to buy supplies was because Trevor had already led his men back to the Torres continent in two three-masted sailing ships. As for the purpose of returning, of course, it was to pick up more immigrants.

Uther wants to continue expanding the size of the camp. Now, with Karen's support behind them, they can certainly act more radically, as long as Karen's identity is not exposed.

Karen was naturally very supportive of Uther's enterprising spirit. In Karen's view, the more capable Uther was, the better, because the larger the camp was, the more blood tax could be collected. Uther's approach was also to generate income for him, Karen.

Karen usually does not participate in the daily management of the camp, and still leaves full responsibility to Uther. He is managing it well, so why should he pretend to know everything and interfere?
Every profession has its own expertise, and let professionals do professional work. This is the principle that Karen has always believed in and followed.

"It doesn't look like there's a lot of wood."

Karen looked around the warehouse and saw that there wasn't much wood.

"Because many of them have been taken away by Trevor. We can't let him go back empty-handed. Selling them directly back to the Empire will bring higher prices than selling them at Stone Forest Port."

Uther explained that they did cut down quite a few trees, and although they used a lot of them, these would definitely not be the only ones left.

This tree is called "Uward log" by the imperial people. Its unique material and effect make this wood very popular in the market. This tree is one of the most famous specialties of the New World.

Many sea merchants came to Shilin Port to collect timber, but the price they offered was obviously not as good as selling it directly back to the empire.

However, although he could fetch a higher price by bringing the timber back to Torres Continent, it was not worth making a trip just for this purpose. Trevor's main purpose in returning was to attract more people, as population was the most important resource for a colony.

"When to set off?"

Karen thought about it and decided that maybe he could go to Shilin Port to take a look at their operating model, learn some advanced experience, and see if there are any good talents that catch his eye.

Shilin Port was not built by the imperial government. In the beginning, it was just a colony opened up by individuals. However, it developed later and was incorporated into the empire. The founders of the city also became hereditary aristocrats.

From merchants to hereditary aristocrats, this is a class leap. It can be said that Shilin Port is a role model for most colonists.
