Chapter 236: Wind and Fire Island
Hua Congchang had an extraordinary status in the Hua family, and after writing an approval note, the steward immediately prepared the corresponding rations, planting and ploughing cattle, as well as various tools and the like according to the number of 100,000 people, and borrowed a third-order treasure ship and the monks who operated the treasure ship accordingly.
Lin Xiao also paid the corresponding price, in addition to the White Mist Tea Qianling Wine, there were some other resources, and Lin Xiao was embarrassed to give them all to the White Mist Tea.
After that, Lin Xiao was a guest at the Hua family for three days, and the Hua family was still very polite to Lin Xiao, Lin Xiao's more than 4 million merit points have proved Lin Xiao's combat effectiveness, plus Lin Xiao is young, has a high cultivation, and has unlimited potential, so he naturally wants to make a good fate.
After leaving the Hua family, Lin Xiao went to the alliance to rent five large flying boats, hired a monk to drive the flying boats, and then received the alliance order flag and 50,000 mortals from the alliance, and set off for Wind and Fire Island.
Wind and Fire Island is still fifty or sixty thousand miles away from the alliance, and it took Lin Xiao almost a month to get to Wind and Fire Island, mainly because those mortals are not as good as monks, and they can't travel for a long time, so it is very time-consuming, even so, there are frequent problems on the road, and thousands of people fell ill before they arrived at Wind and Fire Island, and more than a hundred people died.
After coming to Wind and Fire Island, Lin Xiao saw the monks of the four small families who survived before, they had all moved away, it can be said that they had scraped the ground and taken away a lot of things that did not belong to them, but Lin Xiao was too lazy to bother with them, and these people's vision was like this.
Those monks gave Lin Xiao a general introduction to Wind and Fire Island, they had been based on Wind and Fire Island for more than a hundred years before, but they had not fully developed Wind and Fire Island, and only about one-fifth of them had really developed.
"Senior Xiao, there are more than four thousand miles around Fenghuo Island, we mainly developed the southeast coastal area before, there are mature farmland, spiritual fields, and spiritual veins are here, seniors, please see..."
"I know, there are many mundane affairs on the island, so I won't leave you, please take care of it."
After knowing the general situation, Lin Xiao gave an eviction order, and several people left in a huff.
As soon as the others left, Lin Xiao immediately arranged for people to move and unload the supplies, carry those rations and other things to the dock, and then let those treasure ships and flying boats go back.
Lin Xiao promoted many stewards among the five mortals, and met with the prestige figures of the original indigenous family on Wind and Fire Island, and then announced military management.
Lin Xiao recruited 30,000 young men and asked them to build villages and towns, and the required materials were all on the island, some went to logging, some went to quarry, and some went to dig pits.
This will test Lin Xiao's management level, but Lin Xiao is not difficult for Lin Xiao in this regard, and the Heavenly Saint Sect was also established by him with one hand and one foot, and all kinds of incentives can be used directly.
In a month's time, Lin Xiao let them establish seven large villages, and restored some of the previous villages and towns, so that more than 80,000 people lived in them, as for the accommodation conditions, it doesn't matter, let them sort it out by themselves in the future, anyway, Luo Xinghai's climate is similar to Nanzhou, it is not cold in winter, as long as it can shelter from the wind and rain.
After the villages and towns are done, Lin Xiao will divide the fields, because there was mature farmland before, so it is definitely different from the newly reclaimed ones, so Lin Xiao directly and rudely confiscated all the previous farmland, redistributed it, and distributed it according to the number of ten acres of land per person, according to the lottery, which is fair and equal.
In this move, Lin Xiao directly split some of the indigenous clans, and then adjusted the households in the village, and those who did not get the mature fields moved to the new village, and then prepared to reclaim.
It only took tens of thousands of young people a month to reclaim hundreds of thousands of acres of farmland, which is enough for the cultivation of the existing population, and then Lin Xiao asked them to build water conservancy, open mountains and build roads and other work, in short, now they eat, drink and Lazar are all supplied by Lin Xiao, so they can't be idle.
Young and strong do heavy work, women and children can't be idle, mortal life needs a lot of things, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, needles, threads, brains, clothes and the like are countless, Lin Xiao arranged people to get them one by one.
Lin Xiao, who was not enough, sent a message to Lin Zhongjun and asked him to send a large number of them, and Lin Xiao also paid for them.
After finishing this, Lin Xiao set up a large formation on the island, because there were not enough defensive manpower, so Lin Xiao expanded the range of the formation a lot, surrounding all the mortal villages and towns.
The alliance's order flag is planted on the highest peak on Wind and Fire Island, shining, and passing monks can see it, this order flag is the witness of Lin Xiao's newcomer, and he must not take the initiative to attack Wind and Fire Island within ten years, otherwise the alliance will retaliate and hunt down.
When the formation was set up, Lin Xiao personally found children among mortals to test the spiritual root, between the ages of five and twenty, regardless of gender, no matter what identity, all had to be tested, and finally Lin Xiao detected fifteen children with spiritual roots, but the qualifications were not good, just one medium-grade spiritual root qualification, two lower-grade spiritual root qualifications, and the rest were mortal spiritual roots.
Lin Xiao arranged for literate people among mortals to give them literacy enlightenment, and also rewarded these fifteen families heavily, in addition to giving them another hundred acres of land, there are also some living materials such as demon beast meat, which invisibly improves their status, no accident, these people will be grateful to Lin Xiao and support them with ironcore.
In fact, as well, the loyalty of fifteen people as soon as they entered the door was more than forty, which was much higher than the disciples recruited in Tianyun Prefecture.
When the big event was decided, Lin Xiao mobilized the young and strong to build a house on the mountain with the spiritual vein.
Lin Xiao can't stand this, since it is a spiritual vein, it has to be under his control, otherwise what about the mountain protection array?
Three months later, fifteen disciples received basic literacy enlightenment, and a large hall and a row of houses were initially built on the mountain, and as for the rest of the institutions, they had to take their time.
The next step is to teach them to practice, Lin Xiao gave everyone a myelin-washing pill to improve their qualifications, and arranged for twenty mortals to solve their life problems, and every meal they ate was either spiritual rice or spiritual meat, and the treatment was excellent.
This is a matter of opportunity, if Wind and Fire Island grows stronger in the future, it will not have such a good treatment, like the Heavenly Saint Sect now, the Purifying Pill will also cost twenty or thirty thousand merit points, not everyone can eat it, either someone supports it, or the qualifications and understanding are very outstanding, and the sect is willing to borrow.
Under Lin Xiao's personal guidance, two months later, some people opened the meridians one after another, reaching the first level of the opening veins, and half a year later, all fifteen people became monks.
At this time, the mortal villages and towns under the mountain also ushered in the first harvest, for the previous mature farmland, Lin Xiao took forty percent of the tax, and the newly reclaimed farmland only needed one layer of tax.
With this batch of materials in hand, Lin Xiao ended the military management, let them multiply freely, and at the same time elected batches of management personnel such as village chiefs and town heads.
With food and materials in hand, Lin Xiao took this as a salary, let the mortals continue to refine the division of labor, the hunting team went into the mountains to hunt wild beasts, and those with skills supported them to play their skills, and also built sea boats, and when the time came, they had to go to sea to fish, and even the salt farms were gradually established, and the entire Wind and Fire Island showed a thriving attitude.
"Xiao Daoyou, it's amazing, it's amazing, I only knew that you were unparalleled in combat power before, but I didn't expect your management skills to be so outstanding, in more than a year, there was such a scene, it really made me feel ashamed"
"Lin Daoyou, you don't know how tired I have been this year, I have been spinning continuously, and I have basically never rested, which is much more difficult than cultivation."
"Haha, Xiao Daoyou, don't spit out bitterness, I know it's difficult, but everything is difficult at the beginning, isn't this beginning over?"
"How can it be so simple, things are in a mess, mortals eat, drink, Lazar, food, clothing, shelter and transportation are now not solved except for eating"
"Then don't you say it earlier, my Lin family can help."
"Haha, that's okay, but then you have to rely on Lin Daoyou"
"This is a small matter, I came here today to ask Xiao Daoyou if he is willing to form an alliance."
"Alliance?"
"Yes, it's an alliance, the Luo Xinghai Alliance is a very loose alliance, it will only be established when it is related to Luo Xinghai's life and death, and then it will be done separately, Xiao Daoyou's Wind and Fire Island has a ten-year security period, but we don't, in order to prevent being swallowed up, we have to huddle together to keep warm, so my Lin family and the other six island forces have already discussed the alliance, and now I want to invite Xiao Daoyou to join in."
"How this alliance works"
"Eight alliances, eight jointly funded, to build treasure ships, cruise and protect the waters of our eight islands, and at the same time can hunt monsters, eight companies are in the same breath, and jointly deal with foreign enemies, advance and retreat in unison..."
Lin Zhongjun talked about the strength of the other six families, and only four of the eight families had Daogang monks, and the level of Daogang monks was generally not high, and it was precisely because of this that the eight families wanted to form an alliance.
Lin Xiao immediately agreed to the strategy of this alliance, and after asking how long it would take to build a treasure ship, Lin Xiao even promised that he would send people when the time came, which shocked Lin Zhongjun, where did Lin Xiao come from alone, Lin Xiao just said that the friends he knew when he traveled and wandered before were loyal and reliable, and Lin Xiao also decided to set up a sect here.
Lin Zhongjun didn't say anything, and quickly arranged for the eight principals to discuss, and finally decided to invest eight million Xuanjing to build four treasure ships of about the third order, which are equipped with weapons, but they are not empty shelves, and it will take about two years.
After that, these four treasure ships will patrol the eight seas to resist foreign monks, protect the mortal fishing boats that go out to sea to fish, and if one of them is attacked by the enemy, they will send troops together, etc.
When discussing the distribution of benefits, Lin Xiao appeared extremely strong, and promised that within a year, Lin Xiao's manpower would arrive, showing the strength worthy of this benefit.
In fact, after half a year, the support of the Heavenly Saint Sect arrived, there were three hundred and fifteen people, three hundred condensing vein cultivators, and fifteen purple mansion cultivators, this force was enough to rank second among the eight alliances, second only to the Lin family, and the rest of the families had nothing to say.
