The Rise of Iceland - Vol 3 Chapter 408
After the children were tired of the boring Greenland, Olaf also consciously decided to leave Nuuk and go to Wenland.
The fleet left the port of Nuuk and went all the way south, and arrived at Hadar Port a few days later.
The Vinland Legion in the port greeted Olaf’s return with excitement. After inquiring, he found out that Heine went to Huron, Iroquois, and Prophet City to patrol. Olaf sent someone to inform him and took his wife and children to live. Entered the Fenglin Palace.
Although the Fenglin Palace is not as splendid as the Duke’s Castle in Szczecin, it occupies a large area and the architectural style is a combination of Chinese and Western styles. It is very novel in the eyes of Sally’s three daughters and children.
Considering that Olaf might return at any time, Heine asked the slaves to clean the Fenglin Palace every month. Therefore, when the Olaf family moved in, the entire Fenglin Palace was very tidy, and Sally soon returned to take charge of Fenglin. The role of Lin Palace’s internal affairs arranged for slaves and female slaves to dry clothes, scrub furniture, and cover with clean sheets and quilts.
The slaves in Fenglin Palace went to work happily when they saw their masters coming back. Olaf walked around the palace and sighed: “It’s been a long time, but it looks like a world away!”
Song Qinghe returned with more than 20 disciples and literati. They were not only responsible for the education of Qinghe Academy, but also managed the affairs of many areas, so they always came back if Olaf came or not.
Hearing Olaf’s words, Song Qinghe smiled and said, “Master Chitose, you are rich in the world, and you can’t take care of the United States and Europe at the same time. Governor Heine is serious and responsible, and I have to wait for your help. There is nothing wrong with it. When you come back this time, I don’t know how the people will rejoice when they know it.”
Olaf smiled slightly and said, “Lao Song, what you say is to make people feel comfortable, but I know that Wenlan’s current territory has expanded a lot. Is there the latest map here?”
Song Qinghe thoughtfully said: “When I returned to Iceland a year ago, I heard Governor Heine said that he was surveying the terrain and coast. It is estimated that the drawings for surveying and mapping should be completed now, Liu Fu, you go to the Governor Beppu to find it. Bring as soon as you have drawings.”
Liu Fu is Song Qinghe’s favorite among the disciples selected by Song Qinghe in the second and third batch of Confucian scholars of the Great Ming Dynasty. The things that were handed to him in the past are not unsatisfactory. This time, half an hour after Liu Fu left, Sure enough, he walked in with a huge picture scroll, followed by a Viking clerk behind him.
“Master Chitose, Master, I brought the painting, because I’m worried that you won’t be able to understand clearly, Master Chitose, so I also brought the people who participated in the painting.”
Liu Fu bowed to salute, and then said.
Olaf was also very satisfied with Liu Fu and exclaimed: “When will Wen Lan’s people be as smart and capable as Liu Fu and other Confucian scholars of the Ming Dynasty.”
“The minister is in panic.” Liu Fu leaned forward hurriedly.
Song Qinghe smiled and said: “His Royal Highness, don’t worry, I will wait for my diligent work, and if I have a good time for you to gallop. Moreover, your Shicheqing Military Academy is comparable to the Jixia Academy, calming the world and conquering the talents of the Quartet. It has been cultivated every year. I think that in ten or twenty years, the huge Europe and America will all be in your bag, and it will be easy to take it like a palm pattern.”
Olaf smiled slightly and said: “I don’t dare to think about unifying Europe, but I am in control of Northern Europe, and it is possible to integrate Vinland Iceland and Northern Europe into one, but Lao Song, what you think is not bad. We have academies and universities. With the military academy training talents, as long as the population and talents increase, what are the strong enemies? What can’t be done?”
“His Royal Highness Wise!”
Everyone bowed and sang.
Olaf was in a good mood and ordered: “You go down and rest, and wait until the evening to come to Fenglin Palace for the dinner.”
“Xie Qiansui, the ministers retired.”
Olaf always held a banquet when he returned to Wenlan. This was a common practice ten years ago, so people didn’t say much. After thanking him, he walked out slowly.
Half a month later, after Olaf returned to Hadar City, in addition to feasting, he ordered the governors from all over Wenlan to come to Fenglin Palace to report and meet.
After hearing the news of Olaf’s return, Heine transferred back to Hadar City from the south halfway. He had not seen each other for seven years, and Olaf and Heine were drunk for three days in a row.
When they were awakened together, Heine realized that he was sleeping in Olaf’s bedroom. The two of them were served by slave girls and went to Sally’s palace to eat breakfast before returning to the chamber.
Although the two drank every day in the past few days, the rest of the time was spent looking at the data of the first five-year plan and the second five-year plan just carried out, and at the same time discussing how to advance and reform various industries in Wenlan.
Due to the continuous growth of Wenlan’s population in the past 7 years, now through the increase of births, marriages, transfers, etc., the Vikings have exceeded the population of 100,000, the contracted white slaves will exceed 350,000, and the free whites also have 5,000. As for the indigenous slaves, the number of indigenous slaves is as high as 500,000 due to birth and continuous new arrests. With the addition of the Indian tribes in the periphery of the Wenlan mainland, the population of Wenlan has exceeded 1 million, and the core population has also exceeded 500,000. People, it is considered to have the ability to control all the current territories, there are also 6 Vinland regular legions and 20 Vinland militia legions, with more than 50,000 troops, there is absolutely no suspense in sweeping North America.
With the increase in population, the mining volume of gold, silver, copper, iron and coal mines in Vinland Island, Labrador, Abu Naki, and Quebec has more than ten times that of 7 years ago, and several mines have also Established towns, built infrastructure, and became the number one cash cow in the Wenlan territory of more than three million square kilometers~www.mtlnovel.com~ fur, maple syrup, malt sugar, spirits, porcelain, wood, grain, Dried fish is the most important special product of Wenlan, but the combined output value of gold, silver, copper, iron and coal mines in one year exceeds the income of these seven specialties, allowing Wenlan to accumulate As a result, they can purchase a large amount of equipment resources from Europe and promote the rapid development of Wenlan. In just a few years, dozens of factories have appeared, solving various living problems of Wenlan’s population.
Vinland’s agriculture relied on fertilizers, high-yield crops and advanced agricultural technology to support Vinland and Iceland and Greenland’s foundations. Although potatoes suffered a disease in recent years, they also suffered a severe fall in output last year due to a cold stream in autumn. However, relying on the accumulation of warehouses and the tens of thousands of acres of barley, wheat, and oats in the southern area of Prophet City, and the hardy crops in the north, they ensured that Vinland, Iceland, and Greenland did not experience famine after all.
In addition to the vigorous development of industry, commerce, and agriculture, the medical industry has also developed due to the increase in the number of students trained by Qinghe Academy.
All cities have built a Viking hospital, which can treat all Vikings free of charge, while white slaves and indigenous slaves are charged for treatment. Now it has gone from a total loss to an occasional surplus.
After learning all the news about Wenlan, Olaf was in a very good mood. He believed that all aspects of Wenlan had developed to an expected or close to expected level.
But Olaf’s happiest thing is that Wenlan’s cotton planting base has continued to grow after the successful construction, and the textile factory funded by the Viking Supply and Marketing Tavern has also successfully operated.
