Construction was going on everywhere on Treasure Island. After the villagers from Dashanrenfen Village came, they started construction at the location they selected. They first built temporary temporary sheds for the elderly, children and pregnant women to rest. They got the drawings, and Tao Baye took the lead in research, selected several styles of houses, and invited several craftsmen to build houses with them.
Craftsmen on the island also have working hours. Outside of working hours, they have their own spare time. Those who are willing to take over the work can work part-time.
I have a plan for the cultivated land on the island, and the areas for farming are divided within the scope of the master plan.
Nowadays, the population is relatively small and the labor force is limited, so land reclamation is a big problem.
Without modern machinery, it would be too slow to open up wasteland purely by manpower.
While I was away, Yunzhou completed his daily work according to the plan, and he bought a lot of cattle for farming.
All work on the island is planned and has a dedicated person to check the completion progress.
We were able to have some free time and make good preparations for collecting the treasure.
I know Yunzhou's unspoken worries. The treasures of the Dragon Palace are not only coveted by martial arts people, but also by the royal families of various countries or other forces.
But I have the key in my hand, and if I throw it away, I can’t do it!
It's easy to throw it out, but it's hard to grab it back in the future.
Yunzhou tried to persuade me to temporarily leave the Dragon Palace Order to others, and we can be fishermen and oriole.
I took out the small stone fish, looked left and right, and asked the craftsman on the island to help me carve a few identical ones.
Whether to hand it over or not depends on the development later.
If it doesn't work anymore, hand over the fake one again.
I'm not willing to just hand it over without doing anything.
After Tao Baye gave me the things, he stopped paying attention. He handed over the Dragon Palace Order because he wanted to preserve some blood for the Tao family.
He doesn't care whether I use this thing for myself or give it to others.
The craftsman thought I was just carving some knickknacks for fun, so he didn’t ask any more questions.
I made plans frantically, held meetings with all team leaders, and tried my best to sort out all the problems and possible problems and work out the response policies.
Yun Zhou reminded me that there were too many people without martial arts skills on the island, and it was better to take away the trouble than to defend the island.
The people who are chasing us are Dragon Palace Order, and maybe me. As long as Dragon Palace Order and I are not on the island, they will not come here to waste time.
I thought his words were reasonable and decided to listen to his advice and leave Treasure Island with the true and false Dragon Palace Order.
The construction work doesn't have to be with me here watching.
Leave it to the professionals and stick to the plan.
As for the prisoners and sailors, they can't afford much trouble with Yunzhou staying behind.
Yun Zhou also needed a place as a base to recruit his men and plan his return to Sun City in the future.
Emotionally, of course I hope he can act with me, but rationally, I know we need to get serious about our careers now.
He trains people and I make money. The division of labor is clear and the efficiency is higher.
He plans to build a secret guard training camp on the island to train a large number of outstanding secret guard talents.
The problem of students is easy to solve. From the homeless, wandering, and begging children on the streets and in ruined temples, pick those with good character and take them back.
It not only serves as a talent reserve, but also provides charity.
After being brought back and tested, if the congenital conditions are not suitable, you can arrange to learn other skills and transfer them to other positions.
There is no such thing as child labor in this world. Being able to support yourself, even if you are only three years old, is a blessing.
As long as you take care of food and housing, no beggar will refuse.
Moreover, Yunzhou's secret guard training camp does not engage in hell-style training or cultivating wolf nature.
If you fail the test, you will be eliminated. After being eliminated, you can transfer to another study class. You will definitely have a chance to find a job and you will not die because of it.
I asked him, in this way, wouldn’t he be afraid that the children would be eliminated through passive training?
Yun Zhou smiled and said that he only wanted those who were born as secret guards and loved this profession. Of course, he would first cultivate their interest in the secret guard industry.
He trained secret guards not as personal weapons, but as a profession like bodyguards.
You will know if it works or not, just give it a try.
He supports me in hunting for treasures when I am a public enemy, and I also support his 'education' career.
But for the time being, we can only support each other mentally.
I really needed the funds to build the island, but Yunzhou's reminder also made me calm down a little.
Now I am the one raising a family. Being the island owner is different from being a lonely hero. My decision affects the lives of many people.
In order to attract firepower, I set off immediately after arranging the work on the island. I first went to Sun City Port, where I looked for a boat and said I wanted to go to sea.
I wore a black gauze hat and pretended to be acting secretly.
Showing my face directly would arouse the enemy's suspicion, so I pretended to secretly make a plan to go to sea, turned a few corners, and found a ship suitable for going to the deep sea.
Hee's boat cannot be rented, so it's a bit difficult to find a boat that doesn't belong to them.
I pretended to be anxious, but I stayed at an inn near the pier for three days.
Anyone who asks me what I go to sea for, I always answer is to go fishing.
To catch a highly poisonous fish, ordinary fishing boats will not bring back this kind of fish. I have to go there myself and extract the toxins from the fish while it is still alive.
I wear a black gauze hat, keep a low profile, and go to the deep sea to find fish to extract toxins. My identity and work are certainly not so upright.
People in the port have encountered all kinds of strange things and strange people.
But some careful people discovered that since it is fishing, why prepare an air bag for diving?
This kind of thing can help people dive into the sea, but it is still incomparable to modern oxygen bottles, and the diving depth is very limited.
Every city along the coast has the Haicha Gang's spies. Even though Sun City is the 'capital' of the Xi clan, it is inevitable that there will be a mixture of fish and dragons. The spies of all forces gather here. The undercurrents under the sea are surging, which is much more than in other capitals. .
If I'm too secretive, I'm afraid they won't be able to find me, and I'm afraid they won't believe that I go out to sea to hunt for treasure.
Treasure hunting is a must, but not this time.
On the fifth day of staying at the inn, Tuo Yaxing finally found the boat he was looking for.
The gangster who was responsible for helping me find the boat invited me to the teahouse to meet the boat owner.
When I arrived at the teahouse, the captain was already there, with tea and snacks on the table.
He is a middle-aged man in his early forties, with dark skin, a weather-beaten face, one front tooth missing, and his body exudes the smell of the sea.
The clerk from the dental shop was sitting next to him. When he saw me coming, he immediately got up and said hello.
They chose to sit by the window on the second floor of the teahouse. I stepped forward and sat opposite the boat owner.
In Sun City, it is not easy to find a long-sea ship that does not belong to the Xi family.
And to be able to survive under the Xi family's monopoly on the maritime industry, this ship owner is not a simple person.
He knew my offer and the terms I listed.
But he said straight to the point that he didn’t believe it, and he didn’t care whether he believed it or not. No matter what I did when I went to sea, the price would go up anyway.
Because fishing doesn’t require anything on my list.
"Whether you're catching sea monsters or digging up sunken ships, it doesn't matter. I won't ask. But this trip to sea means risking your life. My life is not cheap."
