The development of tourism can also drive the economic development of Haiji Island and form a good cycle.
However, everything will have to wait until the war is over.
"Are those big shells the scales of a big snake? It looks a bit like that." Jiang Bai pointed to the big shells supporting the palace in the distance.
"Yes." Coral Gong Xinhai nodded, "In the beginning, there was only that piece of Haiji Island. It was the big snake that expanded it little by little to reach its current scale."
"I see."
Previously, Kamisato Linghua said that Haiji Island was not suitable for growing crops. He did not have a specific concept, but now it seems that it is indeed not suitable for growing crops.
The land on Haiji Island has the same color as the shells supporting the Coral Palace, with a pinkish-purple color. This is not normal soil, and there are very few plants growing on this land. Most of them are that kind of tenacious thatch. and shrubs.
Coral Palace Xinhai stopped and said, "Not far ahead is Wanglong Village, and you guys have been living there during this period. When you get to the village entrance, look for Granny Yue, and she will take you to live in an empty house."
Jiang Bai looked at Wanglong Village, which was not far away and had scattered houses. It was said to be a village, but more like a small city.
There should be other residential gathering places on this island besides Wanglong Village. Judging from the scale, this one should be the largest.
Jiang Bai could see that there were many relatively new houses nearby, which should have been built to accommodate the people who joined Haiji Island.
"Aren't you going to go?"
A troubled smile appeared on Coral Gong Xinhai's face, "The people in the village are too enthusiastic. If I go there, I will be surrounded by them and I won't be able to get away for a while. I still have matters to deal with, so I can't waste too much time." .”
"That's it." Jiang Bai understood.
"There are markets and shops in the village. You can buy anything you need. If you need help, you can ask the patrolling soldiers. If you come to me for anything, come to the Coral Palace. There are no restricted areas on the island except the military camp. You can visit at will. .”
"I understand, let's go over there."
Watching the two of them go to Wanglong Village, Coral Palace Xinhai turned around and headed for his secret base.
What Jiang Bai said had a lot of impact on her, causing her energy level to drop sharply. She needed to adjust her mood and replenish her energy level.
Wanglong Village is no different from Feimu Village. Feimu Village is just a village gradually formed by the workers who gathered on Bayun Island to mine crystallized bone marrow and snake bones. The population is not large, and the social structure still retains the form of a village.
But Wanglong Village is different. As the largest gathering place of residents on Haiji Island, it already looks like a small city.
Although there are not yet wide roads and dense shops in the city, and most of the houses are wooden structures, it is already not easy on Haiji Island with limited land.
Jiang Bai found Granny Yue, whom Xinhai mentioned, and followed her to a vacant house.
There are many vacant houses in the village, some of which are newly built, but most of which were houses where soldiers who died in the war once lived.
Kaijijima has been fighting with the shogunate for so long, and the price paid is no less than that of the shogunate.
The house was not big, but it was clean. Jiang Bai looked around and was quite satisfied.
It's better than him making a matchbox out of rock elements.
"Please tidy up, we will live here for more than half a month or even longer."
Needless to say, Jiang Bai had already taken action.
He went to a neighbor's house to borrow a broom and started cleaning.
Gudong popped out of Jiang Bai's pocket, jumped onto the table, and looked at the new environment around him.
Jiang Bai poked this guy, "You are finally willing to let it go. You can sleep every day without fear of sleeping stupidly."
Gudong's eyes turned into small arrows, and it rubbed his hand with its jelly-like body.
"I heard that there is a formless water on this island. Do you want to see it?"
Gudong's eyes suddenly turned into star eyes, and he crawled around on the table excitedly.
"Don't worry, don't worry, I don't know where it is yet. Please clean these tables and chairs."
Gudong, who was so impressed, nodded excitedly and began to wipe the table with his body.
Jiang Bai nodded with satisfaction and went out for a walk.
There are a lot of people living in Wanglong Village. Jiang Bai walked around the village and found that most of the people in the village were old people, children and women, and most of the young people were on the battlefield.
He randomly chatted with an old man.
The old man tried his best to open his eyes wide and stared at Jiang Bai for a while.
"Young man, you look very unfamiliar. Why is your hair all white?"
Jiang Bai touched his hair, "Ah, I was born with this, don't you think it looks good..."
He suddenly thought of a question: In the future, will his and the hall master's children inherit his white hair or the hall master's black hair?
How about having two children, one black and one white...
The old man in front of him put his head in front of Jiang Bai, who was distracted by his thoughts, squinted his eyes and looked hard, and suddenly said: "Young man, your saliva is flowing out..."
Jiang Bai subconsciously raised his hand to wipe it, "Where is the saliva? No?"
"Maybe I saw it wrong. I'm older and my eyesight isn't very good..."
"Old man, are there other people in your family? Are you the only one?"
"My son joined the army and made meritorious service on the battlefield!" The old man looked proud.
"Aren't you worried?"
Although the old man's eyesight was bad, he spoke with great energy, "What's there to worry about! You have to show some respect to the shogunate. General Raiden actually dared to trample on the people's wishes. I've long been unhappy with them." !”
"You dislike the shogunate so much?"
"Of course! Who doesn't know that General Raiden killed Kaiji Omikami! This war should have been fought long ago!"
Jiang Bai knew that he had met a fanatical believer of the big snake, or a main war faction.
He didn't say anything offensive, but asked curiously: "It's my first time coming to Haiji Island, and I don't know much about Haiji Daimikami. Can you tell me about his deeds?"
"No problem! No problem!"
When it comes to the deeds of the big snake, the old man always sticks to it.
"The Great God of the Sea is kind, kind, powerful, and wise. He brought our ancestors out of the bottomless abyss and taught us how to survive.
“He created islands in the sea to provide us with a place to live, and gave us food to fill us up, so that we would no longer suffer from hunger and cold.
"He responds to the wishes of his people and does his best to give them more...
"At that time, Haiji Island lived and worked in peace and contentment, and was peaceful... Did you see the big coral on the Coral Palace? That was picked from the body of Haiji Daomikan..."
The old man's tone suddenly changed from admiration to hatred.
"Later, the stable life on Kaiji Island was gone forever!"
"The hateful Raiden General killed the Kaiju Omikami and trampled our faith under his feet! Those rice wives even went to mine crystallized bone marrow. This is a blasphemy against the Kaiju Omikami! He should die to apologize!"
