People on the island don’t know what mining involves. Workers responsible for exploration a few days ago discovered copper and iron ores.
Wen Mian came to ask me whether to start mining.
The other stuff is easy to talk about, no one cares if you buy more or less.
However, if the metals used to make weapons are purchased in large quantities, it will inevitably arouse the suspicion of informants outside the island.
In this world, metal is not needed to build houses, nor is it used to build bridges and pave roads.
Metal mines are generally mined by the country they belong to, and large transactions must be documented.
A large number of tools have been purchased on the island before, and there are blacksmiths and various craftsmen on the island. I am afraid no one will believe them if they say they are used to make hoes.
Therefore, the metal mines on the island still have to be mined.
I ordered Wen Mian to go out secretly to find masters and workers who knew how to smelt, as well as skilled masters who knew how to forge weapons.
Weapons don't need to be too sophisticated. The high-end weapons built by Shenbingxing are for martial arts masters. I mainly use them for prisoners and sailors.
I have seen navy weapons, and they are of average quality.
Although the white fur ball shield plug-in is easy to use, it is a living creature after all, and there are always uncertainties.
If it dies suddenly one day, the people on the island won't even have a knife, so they will feel less safe.
Guard Jia has already, under my instruction, observed the 'security guards' suitable for training among the prisoners.
They are a bit older and have missed the best age for practicing boy kung fu, but some boxing and sword skills can still be mastered quickly within two or three years.
There is no need to train them to become martial arts masters, they can just reach the standards of ordinary soldiers.
Guard Jia carefully observed the prisoners ranging in age from sixteen to twenty-six, looking first at their physical fitness and then their character.
If you don't want to be a white-eyed wolf, you will be bitten in the future, and it will hurt even if you don't die.
These people can be sentenced to life imprisonment, which shows that there are many extremely vicious thugs among them.
After observation and many conversations, Guard Jia first drew up a list based on his judgment.
I think the people on the list are suitable for security training.
Some were unjustly imprisoned, while others had already sincerely regretted the crimes they had committed and just hoped to atone for their sins with the rest of their lives in prison.
There are also people who kill someone accidentally, or who surrender after beating a bully to death because of injustice for others.
He first selected a hundred people, made a list and gave it to me, along with information about each person's personality, habits, family background and other information.
There are currently few people patrolling the island, and production requires a large number of manpower.
After all, letting ordinary villagers patrol is not a long-term solution.
They had no weapons and could only defend themselves with sticks or hatchets.
They were transferred from the navy, and I couldn't bear to part with them as well-trained road construction workers. Their work progress and completion were the most satisfactory to me among all the construction teams.
I got the list and went through it again, and there were only fifty people left.
These fifty people were personally arranged by Guard Jia, who was dispatched from the land reclamation team to form a patrol team.
The primary weapon is a spear made by the cooperation of blacksmith and carpenter.
The instructor who trains them daily is a junior military attache assigned from the navy.
The young military attache is just nineteen this year and has been in the army for three years.
Three generations of his family have been sailors. He played in the barracks since he was a child and trained with the adults in a decent manner.
The management of the barracks in Haixian Castle is not so strict. Children who really have no one to take care of them at home can be brought into the barracks by their fathers and taken with them.
There is a dedicated area for these children, similar to an in-house nursery.
The young military attache's mother died early, and his father also died of illness two years ago. The military camp is his home. Wherever the large troops go, he can go there without worries.
At his age, it would be boring for him to build roads and bridges every day.
Guard Jia said he had a job of training people and asked him if he was willing to do it. He immediately agreed.
Wan'er and Xiaojiao came over, their eyes red and swollen from crying. Guard Jia took them to my grave, and only told the truth at the grave.
They also know how dangerous it is to get caught up in the disputes of the Dragon Palace Order. If they know the truth in advance and behave slightly wrong on the road, they may get involved in the dispute and endanger others.
Because if I am not dead, as long as the other party seizes them as hostages, I will definitely take action.
Looking back and thinking carefully, they realized how many dangers there were along the way.
There are not a hundred but eighty people who tempt them. They use schemes within schemes, serial schemes, and bitter meat schemes, one after another.
The two of them analyzed it for several days as if they were reviewing the script after the killing, and felt that everyone they met on the road was like an enemy with a hidden identity.
I met them at the treehouse, and they arrived at Treasure Island safely. The Nanzi group who had escorted them all the way also showed up.
I will keep the three groups of secret guards, Yue, Nan, and Xiang, in the Demon Sect and let them protect Yue Nanxiang and the Demon Sect's territory.
Nan Jiu sent a message saying that Yue Nanxiang's martial arts had improved by leaps and bounds. I helped her before leaving, but I couldn't predict the result at the time.
Nan Jiu said that Yue Nanxiang's skill suddenly increased sharply after I left, and she seemed to have recovered half of her previous skill.
Yue Nanxiang heard that I had taken Biyi Island and wanted to build a city. She thought that there must be a shortage of manpower here, so she arranged for the secret guards of the Nanzi Group to come over.
One is to escort Wan'er and Xiaojiao, and the other is to work for me.
The deal between her and me is still valid. I can call in the secret guards if necessary. It's no problem to call them all.
The Demon Sect is a food-producing base. I didn't take any secret guards with me when I left. I also wanted to keep more people to guard the foundation.
"You don't have to worry. Mrs. Ying has mobilized a large number of experts to protect the farmland. Nian'an City and outside are now very safe." When Wan'er mentioned Ximen Wuhen's biological mother, she still did not change her words and called her Mrs. Ying very respectfully and politely.
"What did Mrs. Ying do in the sect?" I couldn't ask about Mrs. Ying in the secret letters I exchanged with the Demon Cult. Ximen Wuhen trusted her 100%. If I replied, I would always ask in the letter. How she acted was like he was spying on her.
"She does everything that is beneficial to the demon sect, including protecting farmland, encouraging members of the sect to do business, recruiting talented people, and even calling in many martial arts masters." Wan'er counted on her fingers.
"What about your marriage? What's your attitude?" From the change in Wan'er's energy when she mentioned her, I could tell that she had something wrong with her future mother-in-law.
"……this……"
"Objection! It's hard for Wan'er to say. As for me, boss, you don't know that Mrs. Ying is firmly opposed to the marriage between Wan'er and Master Ximen."
"Why?" Although I asked this, I was not surprised that Mrs. Ying opposed their marriage.
"It's because she's from the wrong family, and I feel Wan'er is not good enough for her son." Xiaojiao grew up in a Biyi sect and is unfamiliar with a marriage of the same family.
Although she does not join the free-spirited group of men and women, she is also a supporter of 'free love'.
The more Xiaojiao talked, the angrier she became. She glanced at Wan'er, who was bowing her head, and said angrily: "She talked to Wan'er privately, hoping that she would take the initiative to tell the leader that she wanted to be a child."
I understand Wan'er, and I am also familiar with Ximen Wuhen.
Wan'er must have done what Mrs. Ying said, but Ximen Wuhen must not have agreed.
"Fortunately, the leader did not agree. He insisted on marrying Wan'er and promised to be together for the rest of his life and never marry anyone else." Xiaojiao's expression softened slightly when she said this.
