I have learned before that in this world, selling medicine is also a hugely profitable industry. Therefore, there are no low-priced or affordable medicines, and ordinary people and even poorer people are reluctant to take medicine when they get sick.
Of course it would be nice to make a lot of money, but I also want to make medicines that benefit the people.
After dealing with a few lucky pirates who tried to escape, they finally gave up.
They are confident when fighting against humans, but have no chance of winning against monsters.
In their hearts, I was already a non-human existence, and their fighting spirit was shattered by repeated verifications, and finally fell to the bottom.
I told them clearly that they had been poisoned by a strange poison. This poison was controlled by me and was sensitive to me. Therefore, nothing they said or did could escape my 'eyes'.
Some people don’t believe it, but they have to believe it after trying it.
The goods robbed from Yehuanmen were taken away one after another. Fortunately, the time they robbed was not long and they could still find the owner.
I don't know who reported the pirates on the island to the Yamen. The closest port city to Treasure Island is not Sun City, but a place called Haixianbao.
I don’t know if they have anything to do with Fairy Castle, or if they just produce, sell and eat seafood.
The first mate gave me some science knowledge about the origin of Haixian Fort, which has nothing to do with seafood.
It's just that there is a legend that a fairy from the sea landed there and married a young man from the fishing village.
The fairy could fish treasures from the sea, and the two accumulated countless wealth.
Little by little, fishing villages are developed into towns, counties, and cities.
The young man became an old man and died at the age of 80. The two had nine children, but the fairy never grew old. After her lover died, she returned to the sea with her lover's body in her arms, and disappeared in the vast sea.
In memory of them, the people who got rich along with them named the city Haixianbao, which means the home of the sea fairies.
The legend has gone through thousands of years, and people have listened to it as a myth and no longer believe that there are immortals in the sea.
The bloodline of the fairy and the young man was also completely severed in the long river of time.
There are no descendants anymore, only a beautiful legend remains.
Love stories and inspirational deeds don't matter. I'm more interested in the skills of fairies, and I also believe that there are supernatural powers in this world.
Otherwise, there is no way to explain the matter of the square mirror. It can penetrate into my body. This is either metaphysics or quantum mechanics.
The first mate saw that I was interested in hunting for treasures in the sea, and sighed helplessly: "There are really a lot of treasures in the sea. Let's talk about the shipping routes that extend in all directions. I don't know how many merchant ships are sinking underneath. They are stronger than the Xi clan, and there are many ships on the sea every year." Several large merchant ships were lost.”
The merchants simply could not afford this kind of loss to their small family and small business, so other merchants in Sun City chose to pay and take advantage of the Xi family.
But it is a bit exaggerated to say that even a city or a country cannot form a sailing team.
A loss is a loss, but driven by profits, merchant ships running on fixed waterways are still like crucian carps crossing the river.
There are many cities along the coast and many countries with ports. However, we can run on the sea just fine, but our ability to dive into the bottom of the sea to recover sunken ships is very poor.
There is no diving equipment in this world, and there are no modern ships and instruments dedicated to this business.
If the ship sinks, then it will sink into the sea, so consider yourself unlucky.
I felt itchy after hearing this. A sunken ship is an ownerless thing, and whoever has the ability can fish it out. This is the consensus of all countries.
Others may not be able to sink, but I can!
Unfortunately, I have limited time and lack of skills. There are many things to do in agriculture and medicine on the island.
Haixian Castle sent another fleet to ask me to hand over the pirates and let them take them back for punishment.
I took out the personal deed signed by the pirates, which stated that they would work for me until the day they died.
The people in Haixianbao have a tough attitude, but my attitude is also very clear.
As long as I have a physical bond, they can't use "national law" to suppress me.
After discussion, they retreated to the sea and sent people back to Haixian Castle to ask for instructions on what to do next.
I don't care what they decide. I have enough things to do and don't have time to think about theirs.
When they were worried about not having enough manpower, a guest arrived at the pier who had been missing for several months.
I was not surprised that Wen Mian came to find him, and I always knew that he was not dead or injured, and I was not worried about his safety at all.
He came over in a small boat, and I sensed the 'qi' in his body, so I rushed to the dock with Yun Zhou in advance to greet him.
"What a big boy~" I tried hard for a long time to squeeze out two tears of joy, but failed.
"Master, Master!" Wen Mian was still very energetic. Seeing my strange expression, he said worriedly: "Master has a stroke? It shouldn't be, you are a miracle doctor."
"Don't talk nonsense, I'm so excited to see you back safely." I felt that the effort just now was particularly unnecessary.
"Master - you've recovered, that's great!" Wen Mian gave Yun Zhou a big hug without any politeness.
You can tell whether you are stupid or not by looking at your eyes.
Yun Zhou's eyes were now as bright as a big light bulb, and there was no clear stupidity in his eyes.
"Yes, your master and I are very worried about you. Just hope you come back safely." Yunzhou suddenly acted like an elder, looking at Wen Mian with a kind face and smiling.
"Let's go and eat." I asked Wen Mian to get in the special car and go back to the office area for dinner.
The first mate and the others didn't know that I had an apprentice, so they were very curious about Wen Mian.
They thought that since I was like this, my disciples should also have abilities that were different from ordinary people.
The office area has been built to some extent, and there is no shortage of kitchens, canteens, lounges, bathrooms, and bathhouses.
There is a well next to the original site of the bird's nest, a deep well. There is a large bucket for storing water next to the well. I asked a carpenter to make an extra-large one and installed a simple faucet.
Each person prepares a water glass and drinks from it.
Those who work outside push the water cart, put the buckets on the cart, and push it to the place where they work.
One well is definitely not enough for so many people, so I asked Kang Jian to take a group of people to the nearest river to divert water for everyone's use.
He did a great job and I didn't have to worry about it at all.
In addition, the crew also dug several wells on their own initiative and went to the sea to fish and shrimp every day when they were free.
Since arriving on the island, I have eaten this seafood almost every day.
Kitchen utensils and tableware are purchased directly, and ordinary employees and pirates cook and eat separately.
Everyone works and forms a team there, and every construction site has a canteen.
There are not many people eating in the canteen in the office area, most of them are the elderly, weak, women and children.
I asked the cook to make some hard dishes and brought out a jar of good wine.
The reunion of master and apprentice was worthy of celebration. After a few drinks, I asked how the Fire Tribe princess was doing.
"She? She went home." Wen Mian's tone seemed uncertain.
"When did you separate?" Although I don't think Wen Nian kidnapped the princess, they should have been together for a while.
Once the distance between a person with Qi and me exceeds the observable range, I can only feel my Qi and have no sense of the surrounding environment and people.
He and the princess later ran out of this range, and I had no way of knowing their movements. Even if the princess was still with him, I couldn't sense it.
"It's been a while. I sent her to Yuancheng. We separated in Yuancheng. She said she would go home after finishing her errands."
"Isn't she here to get married? What business is she going to Yuancheng for?" I asked.
"She said she wanted to complete the task assigned to her by her father and go to Yuancheng to find someone. She didn't say who she was looking for. It was mysterious. I'm not a very curious person, so I didn't ask."
"Did you know that Sun City is looking for you and believes that you are the gangster who kidnapped the princess."
"Although I didn't kidnap her, I did go to the inn with this purpose. Unexpectedly, she was trying to escape and didn't want to marry her master at all, so I helped her and sent her far away."
"She wants to get away, but she can't just say, you did this bad guy, and I took the blame, so it's better..."
Hearing my words, Yunzhou immediately looked over, and my words immediately changed: "It's a good idea to steal the groom, so for nothing, let my good eldest son be her bodyguard and escort her all the way."
"It can be said that this princess has too many things to do. Sometimes she is hungry, sometimes thirsty, sometimes her feet hurt, and sometimes she feels dizzy."
"But master, don't worry. If I am bullied, it will be a loss of your face. So I gave her bean cakes and cold water, and she lay down for several days to rest her feet and nourish her body." head."
"As expected of Madam's disciple, he has his own tricks." Yunzhou praised sincerely.
I always feel awkward when I hear this. Is he praising me or hurting me?
Finally, under the strong protest of the Fire Tribe princess, Wen Mian rented a carriage for her. She insisted that he drive the carriage himself and refused to hire a coachman.
Wen Mian did not refuse, but he chose the road with lots of rocks for the rest of the way. His martial arts skills were superior to those of the princess. No matter how bumpy the car was, he stayed upright and motionless. The princess was not as steady as him. The vomiting and diarrhea I had once was not due to gastroenteritis.
When her soul was about to be thrown away, they changed to the water route.
Wen Mian did not use any anti-mosquito equipment on the boat. Wen Mian stopped the boat at night to pick out areas with many mosquitoes. He used his internal strength to repel the mosquitoes, and the princess suffered a nervous breakdown from the bites.
Wen Mian always remembered that she wanted to kill me, and there was an element of revenge in doing these immoral things.
In the end, the two separated, and Wen Mian also asked her for a huge amount of mental damages.
She said it was to calm my shock. After all, she wanted to kill me, and we are 'adults don't care about the faults of villains'. She didn't kill her because I was powerful, and I didn't pursue it because I was generous. But the mental damage fee is absolutely unavoidable.
I have to say that although this guy Wen Mian always gives me a false image of kindness, generosity, and chivalry, he still understands my true character.
I needed capital investment to build the island, so I accepted the compensation.
"You punished her like this, but she didn't want to kill you?" I was worried that Wen Mian would be resented by the princess. After she completed her mission and returned home, she would recruit experts to seek revenge on him.
"No, she was furious, but she didn't take action. Besides, she is no match for me, and she won't say anything if she wants to kill me."
"Then let's just be careful and take precautions," Yun Zhou said.
"As long as you are not too far away from my master, I can still protect you. By the way, you came back just in time, my master has a task for you."
"Yes, Madam wants to explore the sea, but the island is busy with affairs and has not been able to find anyone to take her place."
"Disciple, take your orders!"
Although I am eager to go hunting for treasures on the sea, I will not ask Wen Mian to take over my job right away.
Even if he rows a boat, he will get tired even if he has deep internal strength.
He knew that I had inherited Biyi Island. When he returned to Sun City to look for us, he heard that we had escaped, and that we had escaped by boat, so he thought that I might have come to Biyi Island.
Wanted notices for him were plastered all over the streets in Sun City. It was inconvenient for him to stay in Sun City for a long time, so he secretly boarded a merchant ship. When he took the ship to the sea not far from Biyi Island, he took advantage of the night and knocked down the night watchman on the ship. He put down the money to buy the boat, untied the boat from the big boat, and rowed to find us.
He wasn't familiar with the sea route, and it wasn't all smooth sailing for him, but that was an understatement.
No matter what, he only helped me through these bumpy months. As a master, I must express my gratitude.
A car and a house are all must-haves, and I also gave him a martial arts secret book.
The house and cheats are nothing special, I focused on the car.
I became a professional car repairman in the wasteland era. Electric cars cannot be built in this world, but cars without electricity can still be tinkered with as long as you have the drawings and know how to assemble them.
Bicycles are convenient but don't carry much cargo. I first asked the blacksmiths to cut some parts and assemble a few tricycles.
The structure is relatively simple, as long as it can be ridden and haul goods.
If there are no tires, just put something on the outside of the wheel to absorb the shock a little.
You have to try it to know whether it works or not. In the early stage, only a few vehicles were built. Apart from Yunzhou and I, the other few vehicles were given to those who ran the most errands.
There were still a lot of spare parts and materials. I didn’t know when Wen Mian would come back, but I still built one for him and put it in the warehouse.
It is not difficult to learn to ride a tricycle. There are no other tricycles on the island, so you can practice it casually on the road.
Wen Mian was like a child who got a new toy. He even put aside his favorite martial arts temporarily. During the few days of rest, he rode a tricycle around every day.
After he became proficient, I took him to various places to familiarize himself with the environment, including several construction sites under construction, several large planned areas, farmland and medicinal gardens being reclaimed.
The crew found many farmers who had lost their land from their hometowns.
After landing on the island, someone wrote a resume for them, which is equivalent to an employee file. Who is good at what, write it all down, and then allocate places according to ability.
If there are those who are good at breeding, they will be transferred to the breeding farms.
I didn’t touch the wild animals on the island. I bought some poultry and livestock from the coastal city.
News of Treasure Island's recruitment gradually spread, and some fishermen who had lost their houses and fishing boats also came by boat to look for employment opportunities.
The pirate's ship was still idle. I took over these fishermen and asked them to remove the pirate marks on the ship and renovate it before going out to fish.
There are no other requirements for working on Treasure Island. You must take poison. The boat is for them to use. If they run away with the boat, where can I find someone?
It is even more unrealistic to ask them to pay a deposit in advance. They are poor people who cannot survive. If they have money, they will not come here to find a job.
People who are destitute and have no choice but to risk their lives.
Moreover, the whole family lives on the island. If they dare to risk their lives and risk their lives to steal the boat or sell the seafood privately to make money and run away, their family members will also be implicated.
All scandals come first, and those who are willing to stay must abide by the rules I set.
After all, they are strangers, and there is no sense of trust between the two parties.
If there are people who cannot accept the rules of taking poison, I will send a boat to take them back to the shore, free of charge.
Those who are willing to accept it can divide their houses and work after taking the 'poison'.
In fact, there was no poison at all, just hawthorn pills mixed with my breath.
