Freemen, Slaves, Leysha, and the Brewer

Raymond's respect for Ji Chen grew stronger, and he couldn't help but feel that he had made the right choice.

Being able to work under a lord with ambitions and the power to realize them was something fortunate.

"My Lord, as you instructed, this time I used the funds to purchase various resources needed by the Crown of the Ocean. Among them, I bought a batch of skilled slaves.

In addition, following your instructions, I found another group of freemen willing to settle in the Crown of the Ocean. Most of them left their homelands due to war, famine, and bandits, seeking a place where they could live in peace and prosperity.

Therefore, I allocated a portion of the funds in advance as resettlement fees and distributed them to alleviate their concerns and worries, convincing them to come and see what the Crown of the Ocean has to offer.

I hope you can forgive my initiative, my Lord."
