Chapter 29 Voyages and Procurement
I can't stand the crowd.
At the entrance of Lin Xiaobao's palace, the pool has been dug into a rudimentary shape, and the bottom will be paved with sand and a layer of river pebbles.
The stream does not change its course all year round, and you can find many of them by picking them upstream, and it seems that you can also pick up sapphires upstream.
The old priest had already sent a small team to the road with dry rations and tools, and the larger rough sapphire was naturally the top priority, and it was not clear what its quality was.
There was nothing to pack, and on the day of the ceremony, they moved to a spacious thatched hut.
Also moving in are Delia and Mona, each found a room, the ground is all covered with a layer of wooden floors, the house is more than ten meters away from the thatched house, and there is also a kitchen, the craftsman built the stove according to Lin Xiaobao's instructions in advance, in fact, he can't even find a suitable cauldron for the time being, and he can't use it until he goes out to purchase.
There are a few more sheep in the sheepfold, plus a thin little donkey, which are all congratulatory gifts from various villages to Lin Xiaobao.
In this regard, he can only comfort himself with the sentence of courtesy and affection, after all, there is nothing valuable, Lin Xiaobao was surprised and a little distressed, regretting that he did not express it before, such as finding a trust to tell them that he loves gold coins and jewelry, so that they can understand what they should give.
Missed a chance to reap the benefits, but there is no need to regret it too much, after all, he has become the only chief on the island now, and the days to deal with him in the future are still long......
According to tradition, a meeting is held only once every ten days, and when the villagers have a conflict, they can be brought to the owner of the island to administer justice, which is equivalent to a small court.
Other times, there was almost nothing that Lin Xiaobao needed to deal with personally.
On his third day as the owner of the island, he finally issued his first new rule, which was that the water must be boiled and cooled before drinking.
This surprised countless villagers, wondering why they did this, and when it cooled down, wouldn't it be the same as before it boiled?
Among them is Delia.
She asked curiously, but Lin Xiaobao only replied that the water is not clean, and boiling it can help people reduce certain diseases.
Some people rowed boats to other villages to spread the word according to the new owner's intentions, and the feedback was that the effect was not very good, and people should drink the stream water or drink it directly.
As soon as he became the owner of the island, he lost the first battle after making the first change.
After learning from the pain, Lin Xiaobao felt that his expression was wrong, the road had to be walked step by step, and the meal had to be eaten one bite at a time, and people could not be expected to suddenly change their original living habits, and after pondering, they found that they had problems with their expressions.
The same order, the difference is to change the words to say that there is an evil breath left by the volcanic demon Pelle in the water, and it must be eliminated with fire before it can be drunk, and even the guards who helped him deliver the news were surprised, and asked again in a few days, and the effect was immediate, and sure enough, no one drank the water in the stream anymore, but the pot for boiling water was not enough, and some people also fought to grab the pot.
When Lin Xiaobao heard the news, he was taking a bath in the pure natural pool in front of his home, which is more like a rectangular pond than a swimming pool, and it is indeed helpful to improve the quality of life.
Knowing that it had caused panic among the villagers, he felt that it was caused by his lack of management experience, so he made a decision without considering it thoroughly.
For this.
As the owner of the island, Lin Xiaobao once again found the old priest of Caporeni and told the other party seriously, saying that it was really necessary to go out to buy some things, and hoped to get some financial support.
In order to open the volcanic island, the old priest naturally had no reason to stop this kind of thing, and soon sent some gold, silver and jewelry, so that he could go and return early......
Since a Karaka appeared, Lin Xiaobao became the owner of the island, and immediately formed a guard team.
In the beautiful name of "Divine Messenger", ten strong guys were selected to come to his side, only responsible for safety work, so as not to be targeted by anyone.
The old priest of Caporeni knew about this, and out of some concern, he not only asked Delia to follow, but also asked the guards to follow him, and when he came to the dock to see them off, he muttered something to the guards, and asked Delia, and she was also fooled by her stiff face.
Lin Xiaobao can probably guess it, probably because he is optimistic about himself, and if he wants to run, he will catch it and so on.
Regarding this, the old priest was obviously overly concerned, before he got enough benefits, even if he let Lin Xiaobao go, he would die on the volcanic island.
After getting along with each other for a few days, Lin Xiaobao is very sure that whether he can live a comfortable life in the second half of his life mainly depends on how much benefit he can make on the volcanic island.
For him, the outside world is actually not very exciting, and comfort is reserved for the rich, so it is better to stay on the volcanic island and be a mountain king.
Look at Lanai, hundreds of nautical miles away, about the size of a volcanic island, and it can sell for hundreds of millions of dollars.
And now from a certain point of view, the volcanic island has become Lin Xiaobao's volcanic island, as long as he doesn't leave, the island is his island, but if his head doesn't enter the water, how can he give up everything and choose to escape?
Excited, he stood on the boat and waved to the old priest, with two small bags on his waist, containing gold coins and rough sapphire.
In addition, Lin Xiaobao also brought all the cash with him, hid it in the small bag that Meng Na was carrying, made of linen, and wrapped in a plastic bag on the outside of the money, for fear that it would get wet in the rain.
A total of six small boats, rickety on the surface of the sea, were pushed forward by the current.
There is no compass.
However, most of the fishermen on the island have a good sense of direction, and they have listened to stories since they were young and know the specific directions of other large islands nearby.
These guards were nervous and emotionally nervous, and if it weren't for the chieftain himself, even if they were bold, most of them would not dare to touch the "outside world".
Speaking of Kula, this word has become Lin Xiaobao's new name on the island, and letting the locals call him a Chinese name is simply equivalent to bullying, Delia has called it a few times, quite awkwardly.
......
The oars paddle across the sea, splashing ripples.
Meng Na, Lin Xiaobao and Delia were on a slightly larger wooden boat, he and Delia took turns rowing, the bilge was generally sealed, and water seeped on weekdays, but today it was only wet.
If you use too many special abilities, you will get tired, which has been repeatedly verified by Lin Xiaobao, since you are walking with others today, and you are not in a hurry, you just rely on your strength to row.
At this time, Lin Xiaobao asked Meng Na: "It is estimated that tomorrow, you will see the modern society you lived in when you were a child, there are cars on the road and cement houses everywhere, how do you feel?"
Delia looked at Mona with a calm face, even after watching it for so many days, she still felt that she was better-looking, and interjected: "I'm more nervous than Mona, okay, why don't you ask me?"
"Of course you're nervous, you haven't even gone out to see the world when you're so big.
Remember to follow me when the time comes, so as not to get lost and have no way to find ...... Well, I was wrong, dressed up so specially, it should be easy to find. ”
Lin Xiaobao rowed hard, excited at the thought of all kinds of delicacies and all kinds of familiar things, and was ready to spend all the money and go back.
If he had an abundance of daily necessities and greatly improved living conditions, he felt that he could live longer on the island and earn more gold coins, which was called sharpening knives and cutting wood, so he was willing to spend money on himself.
As for the rest of the island's inhabitants, it would be nice to improve it a little.
If you don't work and can't generate value, just waiting for him, the new island owner, to help, it will definitely not work, even if there is a mountain of gold, it can't withstand the consumption of more than 3,000 people......
