Heyuan City is located in the east. One mile away is a flat and monotonous beach. The sea breeze brings waves of restlessness, but the crowd surrounding the city lord's palace shows no sign of retreating.
Many of them want to ask for an explanation. For example, the public salt fields and pearl shops were closed at the first glance. All the skilled people were taken away by Zhu Youfu. Are they the only ones left with no way to go?
Some were asking for debts. Zhu Youfu closed all the venues. The orders they had placed with the venues were gone after half of them were made. If the losses were not repaid, should he compensate them?
Others are asking the island owners to buy back the property deeds in their hands.
The first is the best solution. It is normal for the government to fire you if it cannot run the business. Even if you say you have worked here all your life, you cannot let the government support you for the rest of your life. Zhu Youfu was very simple and rude to these people, "I'll give you an extra month's money. If you are interested, take the money and leave. The venue is still open until the new island owner decides."
When you encounter someone who wants a debt, they are all shrewd businessmen, and you have to argue for a long time, which is the most tiring thing.
The door of the island owner's mansion is still closed. One person comes in, finishes talking, is let out, and the next one comes next.
From sunrise to sunset, less than half the people were missing.
Seeing those people leaving with satisfaction, a monk in brocade robes darkened his eyes and slammed the door open, "When will it be our turn? Our house deeds are almost broken. Don't blame us for breaking into the house if we don't solve it!"
"Yes, yes! To be honest, I spent 200,000 spirit stones to buy the store, but now it can't be opened. This is all caused by the war between you and the Sea Clan!"
"Hurry up and ask Zhu Youfu to come out to see us. Why are you being a coward?"
The boy shouted from across the door, "Everything about the property lease will come the day after tomorrow. The new island owner will take care of it!"
The brocade-robed monk was not happy, "The new island owner will take care of this kind of thing, you think we are stupid, we must let Zhu Youfu come forward!"
"That's right, open the door quickly. You can avoid the first day of the new year, but you can't avoid the fifteenth!"
"Believe it or not." The boy shut up and stopped paying attention to them. Even though he didn't know much about writing, he knew that there was no return for what he sold. These people really bought and sold by force, but there were so many of them. The powerful people have become the right side. Alas, the new island owner will probably suffer a lot.
"Everyone, Zhu Youfu solved the problem for them but not for us. He obviously asked us to get out of here. In order to buy a store and a cave on Pearl Island, we dropped a lot of spiritual stones. Some Taoist friends even He spent most of his fortune on this, made us money, and ruined our financial path, and he just wants to slap his butt and leave, how can such a good thing happen!"
After the brocade-robed monk finished speaking, many people looked angry and agreed.
"This area was valuable a few months ago, but now it's worthless."
"It cost me hundreds of thousands of spiritual stones and half my life's savings to buy this courtyard. Now I only have a thousand spiritual stones in my pocket, which is not enough to even take a boat out of here."
"It's really ruining people's livelihoods. I just settled down and bought a shop with a lot of money. I hope it will double several times in a few years. In just a few years, I even lost my original capital!"
The brocade-robed monk said, "Everyone is blocking the door. If we don't solve the problem, they won't be able to get in!"
"Yes, block it!"
The person who was not here to ask about the property deed became anxious, "What kind of mentality do you have? Don't think about it, right?"
"Don't block the door, I'm still waiting to get in."
"Damn it, you, a turtle grandson, actually hit me!"
The boy who was standing close to the door heard the noise and fighting outside and quickly went in to report it.
"This is really a case of people dying for wealth and birds dying for food." Zhu Youfu said to Zhan Changfeng who was watching, "Fellow Taoist Zhan, there is no way to deal with this situation."
Zhan Changfeng raised his lips, "Island Master, where are your island troops?"
Zhu Youfu's eyes flashed and he smiled bitterly, "It's hard to explain in one sentence. Seventy-seven of the island army died in several battles with the Hai Clan, and there are still some people who are guarding various key points."
"You want to take those people away too?"
"It depends on what you want. If you want, just go and collect them. If not, just let them go."
"You said they are guarding the key point now, how can I let them go." The handover of the old and new island owners is about to happen, but none of the island troops showed up. They are very resistant. However, she does not have enough manpower to fully take over the sovereignty of Pearl Island. This is a big problem. "Please give me the island owner's military deployment map on the island, and then tell me about the current establishment and number of the island army."
"Of course it should." Zhu Youfu originally thought that she would bring a large group of people to take over the fortresses in each city, but unexpectedly she came with one person. In addition, he had some differences with the island army, so he did not mention the island army.
The island army has three organizations: the city patrol and border guards navy.
The patrolling guards were on guard duty in various cities and towns. When they found that the city was empty, they also left Qiqi.
There were two main groups of frontier soldiers, stationed on the rocky shore in the west and the coral reef shore in the north. After the battle, their vitality was severely weakened.
The navy is the most powerful, patrolling and guarding the inland sea, and is stationed at the military port at the junction of the southeast coast.
However, in the battle with the Hai Tribe, the navy suffered the heaviest losses. The 50,000 men were reduced sharply to 30,000. All 30 low-level ships were wiped out, and 7 of the 20 medium-level ships were left. There is only one high-end ship left.
Among them was a naval commander named Hu Chonghuan, who took more than 800 people to a distant island and fell into trouble.
After Zhu Youfu finished speaking, he was stunned. It was really terrible. Such a shabby place was actually auctioned off. Marquis Jinyi had a purpose, but she was a good rookie, so why did she come here?
Glancing at the young monk who had taken over the trouble, Zhu Youfu asked eagerly, "What do you think, fellow Taoist?"
Zhan Changfeng nodded slightly, "Pretty good."
""What's so good about it!
"Island owner, get on with your business, don't make people wait." The island army will have to wait until she takes over the island.
"It's so chaotic outside and I don't have anyone here, what can I do?"
"Fuwei?"
Zhu Youfu touched the two curls of beard on his lips and said, "I thought I wouldn't be here anymore. It wouldn't be good to keep the people who were loyal to me for you, so I dismissed them all."
Zhan Changfeng heard his voice rising slightly, and he knew that he had taken everyone away.
This island master takes so many people, plus supplies, out of Pearl Island and across the ocean, and the risk is not small.
She was not interested in his way out. She leaned back in her chair, lazily and indifferently, "Then I will help you again."
The twenty-four foundation-building monks over there, including Shuoji Jingji, had just stepped onto the beach, and they didn't even have time to put away their evil aura.
"What the hell are these things?" Shuo Yu opened his mouth and spat out a small fish, wiped his mouth and pouted several times, but he still felt a fishy smell that wouldn't go away.
Wei Shu, who was shirtless and full of strong muscles, wiped the water off his body and became more energetic. "The inland sea of Pearl Island has been completely occupied. We have to break in by ourselves."
"I just want to know why a plant gets seasick." The tall Zhong Huan's clothes were not wet, and he had a domineering scimitar on his waist. He looked like a heroic figure, but he had a root wrapped around his left hand. The squeaking black vine was gone. After hearing her words, the vine silently burrowed into the sand.
Everyone laughed, "Come out quickly, what's the use of being embarrassed at this time."
Jinji sighed and transformed into a human form, "Coming from the mountains, I haven't seen the sea yet, so I laugh every time I see it."
"Hahaha, do you want to eat the food in the sea?" Hu Mao stepped out of the shallow water with a bag as tall as a person, "They are all rare seafood, enough for several days of rations."
"That's a good relationship. I guess this place is not peaceful, so I don't have to worry about preparing food by myself."
Shuo Yu's expression paused for a moment, then he smiled and said, "Let's go, we have something to do!"
