Chapter 1313
As the supreme ruler of Waterles, Fang Fang took Hou Ji to walk around the city all morning.

It was also the first time for Hou Ji to come to Waterles. After seeing every plant and tree here, it opened his eyes. It turns out that the city can still be built like this.

At noon, Fang Fang arranged a lunch in his manor to entertain Hou Ji who came to deliver food.

Those who attended the banquet were all old members of Wan Guo, and they all gathered together to clean up the dust for Hou Ji.

Looking at James, Blake, and Lianna, Hou Jihe once thought that he would sit at the same table with these people for dinner one day.

Seeing that Hou Ji was always nervous, Fang Fang took the initiative to smile and said: "Monkey, there is nothing to be nervous about. You are also the leader of a thousand kingdoms, and you are the same as everyone else in terms of status." Speaking of this, Blake was even more embarrassed. A centurion is even inferior to Hou Ji in terms of status.

Song Zhixi followed suit and said, "Hou Ji, this time you sent so much food to Waterles, it can be regarded as a great contribution and a great help to us."

Hou Ji hurriedly said: "Ma'am, I'm sorry, these are what I should do."

Fang Fang nodded in satisfaction and said: "Zhixi is right, thanks to you this time, I have to remember one of your great achievements."

Hou Ji said with a serious expression: "As a subject of all nations, I should help the Consul to solve problems at this time. This is what I should do as a subject, and I dare not expect anything in return."

"That's all right, all the people sitting here today are our own people, so there's no need to be so serious." Fang Fang laughed.

When he heard the phrase "my own people", Hou Ji only felt an indescribable satisfaction in his heart. Once upon a time, he also wanted to be recognized by the equation like these people on the table today, but before he just thought about it, he never thought about it It really will be a reality one day.

Excited, Hou Ji stood up and toasted Fang Fang, "Master Consul, Hou Ji's loyalty to you will never change. From now on, Hou Ji is still willing to serve you like a dog and horse."

Naturally, Fang Fang was secretly delighted. Which ruler would not want his subordinates to be more loyal than each other? It can be said that Hou Ji has such an appetite for Fang Fang.

Everyone at the dinner table was very casual. After some simple questions, Fang Fang asked Hou Ji about the situation of Ludao, "How is the situation of Ludao and the other two islands recently, and how are the living conditions of the residents on the island?" , have you been infested by pirates?"

Hou Ji immediately replied: "Master Consul, Kashima is not what it used to be. A brand new iron mine has been built on Kashima. Now there are [-] workers in that iron mine. A new village was built, and a large number of miners and their families directly lived there. Now the iron ore in Kadao is not only sold to Wanguo Island, but also to Xiongdao, Aodao and the surrounding islands.”

"Yo, are you selling to other islands?" Fang was slightly surprised.

"Yes, everyone has come up with a set of iron smelting methods by themselves. The people on those islands can also smelt iron with their own methods, so there is also a demand for iron ore." Hou Ji said.

Fang Fang stroked his chin and thought to himself, good guy, he knows how to smelt iron, and now those islands that are still in the Stone Age have directly jumped into the Iron Age.

In any case, civilization has undergone iterations, and it seems that it must be attributed to the credit of the nations.

In this way, it gave Equation a sense of accomplishment. It was the Ten Thousand Kingdoms he established that promoted the civilization process of the entire East China Sea. This achievement is really incredible.

Hou Ji continued to report the good news to Fang Fang, "Just relying on the income from the iron mines, we can already guarantee all the expenses of Kashima, and there is still some surplus. The remaining money can be used to improve the construction of Kashima."

Fang Fang smiled from ear to ear while saying, "Good thing, this is a good thing."

Song Zhixi expressed his worries on the side, "Sell these iron ore to other islands, so they can make their own weapons, should we give more consideration to this?"

"Reply Madam, don't worry about this, all the islands that come to our Kashima to buy iron ore must sign an agreement with us, that is, these iron ores must not be used to make weapons after buying them back, but can only be used to make ordinary weapons. Ironware, agricultural tools and other objects." Hou Ji replied quickly.

Fang Fang smiled lightly at Song Zhixi, signaling her not to be so nervous, "Now this sea area is the territory of all nations, and all the islands are also holding the flags of all nations. Now they are living a life that they never dared to imagine before. People will have trouble living with the comfortable life in front of them.”

Hou Ji then added: "What your lord consul said is very true. Now everyone is living a better life, and they are no longer as ruthless as they used to be. No one wants to go back to the previous life. Furthermore, Even if someone dares to disagree, I will definitely eradicate them."

"Monkey, I can rest assured that Kashima is in your hands." Fang Fang grinned, very satisfied in his heart.

"Hou Ji will definitely live up to the high expectations of the Consul." Hou Ji is also a guy who can follow the words, and he will basically not be cold at the banquet if he takes over.

However, Hou Ji's performance was always too "attentive", which inevitably caused Blake, who is also a general, to be upset. During the whole banquet, Blake didn't put on a good face, because he really didn't like Hou Ji's sycophant. Make pie.

As for Hou Ji, he and Blake didn't have much communication from the beginning to the end. Except for a few polite words on the scene, and a drink with a smile on the face when they were drinking together, there was no other interaction.

In the past, Hou Ji was envious of Blake, thinking that he was an extremely brave general, and he was all-powerful on the battlefield, and he was always invincible.

But now Hou Ji's status is higher than that of Blake, and he is in charge of Kashima alone. He doesn't care what Blake thinks of him at all, it's up to him to love or hate.

After listening to Hou Ji's report on Kashima's situation, Fang Fang nodded with satisfaction. He first praised him for adapting to local conditions and using Kashima's iron ore resources to develop Kashima's pillar industry, then changed the subject and pointed out that Hou Ji's governance Insufficient in Deer Island, "I just heard from you that the food sent to Waterles this time was collected from Xiongdao and Ao Island. I also know about the situation on Deer Island. In fact, Deer Island is also There is still a lot of wasteland that has not been utilized, and you will use all the wasteland on the island after you go back this time, only if you can produce food yourself, you will not fall into panic at any time."

"My lord consul has taught me that after Hou Ji goes back, he must pay close attention to grain production, so that Kashima will become the grain rear of all nations."
