Scott was extremely angry that he could not recruit enough personnel, but Garen was still very ignorant of his eyes and stabbed Scott again hard in his heart.

"Earl, you'd better give up! After all, no matter how hard you try, it's hard to find a manpower."

Scott was so angry that he got angry and kicked him hard several times: "If you can't speak, don't talk anymore, no one treats you as a mute."

Seeing that Scott was in a bad mood, Leo hurriedly tried to smooth things over: "Earl, don't be angry. Although Garen's words sound uncomfortable, it is really difficult for us to recruit people in an environment like the Kingdom of England. If it really doesn't work, take it slowly!"

After saying that, Leo glared at Garen several times again, and the meaning was so clear.

"Where can you do it?" Scott said anxiously: "Of course I know this is very difficult to complete, but this is very important to us, so we have to find a way to complete it no matter what!"

While speaking, Scott told Garen: "You go over and find Robson and others for me."

"Yes, Earl!" Just now, Scott's brow was touched, so Garen didn't dare to talk nonsense, and he should have left now.

Looking at Garen's leaving figure, Leo asked: "I wonder what the Earl asked Robson and others to come here? Could it be that the Earl has a new plan?"

Scott replied: "Yes, since it is difficult to find a manpower in China, then find a way to obtain labor from overseas. After all, our project must be accelerated."

After hearing Scott's plan, Leo said worriedly: "This, if you rashly let so many foreigners enter the Kingdom of England, I'm afraid that this will easily be caught by the noble parliament and come to trouble us?"

"That's what it means, but the premise is to wait for the noble parliament to convene first!" patted Leo on the shoulder, and Stir comforted: "You must always remember that there are two main contradictions in our country at present: one is the war contradiction with the French kingdom on the battlefield; the other is the contradiction between Bishop Beaufort in London and the Duke of Regent Humphrey. Except these two things, other things are not a matter, so we must take advantage of this rare opportunity to develop ourselves quickly! Otherwise, if the good opportunity is lost, it will be difficult for us to make trouble again!"

Scott knew that now all the eyes of the Kingdom of England are mainly focused on London. It can be said that few people will see Norfolk at all, so we must take advantage of this good opportunity to develop quickly!

While Scott and the others were talking, Robertson and several nobles rushed to meet Scott.

"Sir, I heard that our Norfolk River Transportation Project has started to be excavated?" As soon as several people came in, the topic immediately talked about the river transport.

Hearing a few people, Scott said with a smile: "Yes, the excavation project has started, but because the Nock area lacks manpower, just relying on the current manpower, I am afraid that we will take two or three years to complete the project."

"It's so long!" Several nobles were suddenly discouraged after hearing this.

Scott replied: "Yes, it's really long. To be honest, it's not just you can't wait, even I can't wait, so I called you here, just to discuss with you how to speed up the project progress."

While speaking, Scott shared his ideas with everyone: "If you want to speed up the project progress, you must need a large amount of labor. However, it is difficult to recruit enough labor in the Kingdom of England at present, so I decided to look overseas! You have been doing business overseas for many years, so you know which country has a large population? Or you know which merchants are engaged in the slave trade. We buy a large amount of slaves from them! In this way, we can quickly replenish our shortage of labor!"

Several nobles looked at each other and quickly responded to Scott.

"As far as the current overseas situation is concerned, the Holy Roman Empire, the Netherlands Peninsula, the Kingdom of France, the Republic of Venice and the Kingdom of Portugal are relatively large."

As soon as Robson finished speaking, Galen immediately interrupted him: "You are not kidding, are you? The Kingdom of Portugal is not as large as our country, how could they have so many people!"

The nobles next to Robson immediately replied: "The Kingdom of Portugal was indeed not as large as ours before, but after God brought disaster, the entire country, because the Portuguese were strong, they did not lose too much population in this disaster, which led to the relatively dense population in the Kingdom of Portugal today."

After listening to the nobleman's speech, Scott knew what exactly was the meaning of God's words that caused disasters?

What he mentioned corresponds to the history of the Black Death on the European continent in the 14th century.

In that Black Death disaster, almost all countries in the European continent suffered disasters and pains. In just a few decades, more than 26 million people died in the European continent, and this number accounts for one-third of the total population of Europe.

However, in this disaster, the Kingdom of Portugal on the Iberian Peninsula suffered the least losses.

This does not mean how developed the medical technology of the Portuguese Kingdom was, but because the Portuguese Kingdom was restricted by its neighbor Castia and could not develop inland.

Under such circumstances, the brave Portuguese looked overseas. In the process of fighting in the ocean, in the most fierce competition between the Portuguese and nature, the Portuguese's physical fitness was far higher than that of other European countries.

Therefore, when the Black Death swept across the European continent, other countries experienced tragic situations of destruction, while the Kingdom of Portugal was overcrowded.

So, when the nobleman said this, Scott immediately agreed and said: "Yes, in that disaster, the Portuguese Kingdom lost the least population. Now the entire kingdom is full of people. If possible, it is also possible to introduce some manpower from the Portuguese Kingdom!"

Leo immediately said happily: "Then what are we waiting for? Hurry up and send an envoy to Lisbon to pay homage to the King of Portugal. Anyway, the Kingdom of Portugal and our Kingdom are in an alliance. I believe that the King of Portugal will not refuse our request!"

When others heard this, they thought it was very feasible.
