Zhu Xiaobao's house was built in the center of the blessed land, with two floors, but on the second floor, a viewing floor of more than four meters high was also built, almost sixty or seventy square meters.

This cave blessed land is still within the range of the haven in Xiyuan City, so it is correspondingly less affected by the sea breeze. The sea below is also shallow water with reefs, and larger ships can't get in. It should be said that it is quite safe. However, Zhu Xiaobao was still a little uneasy, and he was still planning to build some defensive facilities.

There were also several rows of houses built around Zhu Xiaobao's mansion, which were for the use of his subordinates, and of course his subordinates also worked as guards. In fact, it is also a female guard. For the decision of the nineteenth princess, Zhu Xiaobao is still a little dissatisfied, there is only one man on the whole island? How boring that is!

But now Zhu Xiaobao hasn't had time to think about this, even the planned female guards haven't been selected! And Zhu Xiaobao is really busy now, and everything has to be arranged personally, because others don't understand his thoughts at all!

As far as the most urgent need to build a large pond is concerned, the idea of the craftsmen is to dig a pond, but Zhu Xiaobao does not want it, he wants to see a large pool that is cleaner and tidier, and can store and release water. This requires another building material---- cement.

Zhu Xiaobao had no choice but to take Zhao Shenbao and Tong Wuxin and some other guards to ride to a mountain not far away. He had already consulted some of the local elders, it was an active volcano that had erupted once a long time ago, but it seemed to erupt once every hundred years. Otherwise, how could there be a hot spring in the blessed land of all small treasures!

Of course, he didn't need to go to the volcano, he just found the volcanic ash to achieve his goal, and then sent people to collect the volcanic ash, bag after bag of volcanic ash, and it was sent to the cave blessed land in a steady stream. In fact, this kind of cement is the simplest 'lime ash cement', lime has long been popular, and it is not expensive, just send someone to buy it. In addition, he sent a group of men to collect river sand, and many of his facilities needed to be built with concrete.

This time, the nineteenth princess really showed quite sincerity, and several people were serving Zhu Xiaobao's blessed land. At least three people have been sent out now. There is also a group of people who are in the cave of the blessed land. It is Wu Lijia who leads the team, their work is simpler, these female guards are all selected power type, they are using hammers to break up the rocks protruding from the surface of the cave, leveling, the area in this cave is very large, Zhu Xiaobao intends to use it to process and cellar good wine, and aging wine needs to have such a good cellar environment.

When Zhu Xiaobao mixed these volcanic ash with lime and sand and gravel to form the most primitive concrete, those craftsmen still didn't believe that this thing could build a large pool?

When two days later, when the baffle was removed, revealing a square cement pool, the craftsmen were shocked and incomparable. When solidified, this thing is much harder than masonry and is very beautiful.

"Hmmm! Here, here, and here, a beacon tower was to be built for observation and timely communication, and when there was time, these beacons were to be connected again, and a strong wall was formed. Zhu Xiaobao was pointing to the plan on the drawings to Tong Wuxin and said.

"What a ghost you are! I don't know how you came up with these things, in this case, the people you want are of little use even if they are strong in martial arts! Tong Wuxin said with a little sigh, this little fat man who looked very immature was able to build his own cave blessed land so perfectly, it can be said to be impeccable.

"Hmmm! So, I don't want their martial arts skills to be high, but the archery skills must be good, and the most effective defense is long-range shooting! Well, I have to talk to Wu Yue about this! Zhu Xiaobao also suddenly thought of this question, patted his head and said.

"It's okay, archery can be practiced! But strength has to be talented! Tong Wuxin said with a smile.

At this moment, Wu Lijia's scolding voice came from the cave: "Jumei, you really have less tendons, let you lighten, or make it so strong, Xiaobao said that not only to smash these rocks, but also to pay attention to leveling, who let you use such a big force?" ”

Saying that, Wu Lijia stretched out his hand and slapped her, don't look at Wu Lijia's one meter and eight meters, but in the face of this female soldier named Jumei, she had to raise her arm to hit her face.

"I ...... I didn't make much effort! Jumei seemed to be used to being beaten by Wu Lijia, and she didn't feel any pain, but muttered quietly.

Zhu Xiaobao was a little dumbfounded when he saw this huge beauty, he was more than one meter tall, tall and strong, standing with other female soldiers, more than a head taller. Zhu Xiaobao still had to look up at her. The two stand together, and the picture is very funny.

"Eh, Sister Lijia, who is this? How...... So high? Zhu Xiaobao had no choice but to turn his head and ask, a little tired from keeping his head up.

"Her name is Jumei, she is so stupid that she is going to die, I am almost angry with her! If you can't do anything, you just have the strength to be stupid! Wu Lijia said a little angrily, in fact, among the newly recruited female soldiers, Wu Lijia took the most care of Jumei. She is honest and honest, and she is not good at interacting with others, so she is always bullied, and other female soldiers reject her, only Wu Lijia usually takes care of her, but Wu Lijia's temper is hot, and it is a beating and scolding if it doesn't like it! But Jumei also served Wu Lijia, if others dared to beat her, then she wouldn't do it!

"Huh? …… It's hard to teach! Sister Lijia, just leave her with me, I just need someone with strength! Zhu Xiaobao's heart suddenly moved, and then said to Wu Lijia.

"You want her? That can be regarded as Jumei's creation, and it saves me from worrying about her every day! But, Xiaobao! She...... She's not very smart, forget it, if you don't get used to it, I'll send her back! Wu Lijia wanted to remind Zhu Xiaobao, but then waved his hand and said. It's a good thing to let Jumei live here. She actually likes Jumei, she doesn't have any heart, and she works very hard.

In this way, the first female guard of the blessed land was selected, and the other female soldiers were a little surprised and envious to look at Jumei, but they didn't expect this stupid big guy to be the first to be selected!

"I don't want to follow him, he's so big! One foot and he was trampled to death. I'm still going to follow you, I'm the Nineteenth Princess! Unexpectedly, Jumei was still unwilling to say to Wu Lijia, daring to love her, she also knew that she belonged to the nineteenth princess.

As soon as these words came out, everyone around them burst into laughter, which made Zhu Xiaobao also very embarrassed, and he cried out in annoyance: "Hmph! The nineteenth princess sold you to me, and there is meat to eat with me, and again, I warn you, don't say that I am small, and dare to be presumptuous, be careful of me......" Zhu Xiaobao shook his fist, looked at the huge beauty of the cow and the horse, and couldn't reach it if he wanted to! And then the last words can't be spoken, you give her two feet in the ass, and she's like it's tickling!

"Really? Do you mean what you say? I like meat the most! Unexpectedly, Jumei suddenly came to her senses, lowered her head and asked.

"Hmmm! Talk the talk! Zhu Xiaobao snorted, a little drumming in his heart, would it be a wrong choice to keep a foodie?

At this moment, a rocket was shot into the air, and Tong Wuxin saw it and immediately said, "My people have arrived!" Let's pick them up! ”

Zhu Xiaobao is a little surprised by the rocket in mid-air, this thing has actually appeared? No, it should be something that burns violently like sulfur, not gunpowder. But this also made Zhu Xiaobao suddenly excited, it seems that if you want to make the defense of the Cave Heaven Blessed Land foolproof, it is no longer a problem!

When Tong Wuxin took all the more than 30 people he had to the Cave Heaven Blessed Land, Zhu Xiaobao found out that there were actually four old men around fifty years old, and the other dozen were also men and women in their thirties and forties, and finally there were twelve girls who were about the same age as himself. These girls and Tong Wuxin are very affectionate, as soon as they go to the blessed land, they will chatter and ask non-stop, and Tong Wuxin, who is usually not smiling, is also a rare kind, and simply answered a few questions from them.

It can be seen that those older people have great respect for Tong Wuxin, and they kneel down to salute as soon as they meet, and two of them are still husband and wife.

"Unexpected? Sister, you are still a rich woman, and there are so many people under your hands? Zhu Xiaobao asked in a small surprised voice.

"Humph! You can't think of it! Take it, don't you run out of money! Tong Wuxin snorted a little disdainfully, and then took out a stack of silver tickets. Good boy! There are five thousand taels.

"This is your money? But how can I ask for your money? Zhu Xiaobao asked a little hesitantly.

"Who said it was given to you? It's lent to you, and you'll have to pay it back when the time comes! Tong Wuxin is still as domineering as ever, too lazy to talk nonsense with him.

It turned out that after Tong Jiao was exterminated, although the gold and silver treasures and knives and guns on the island were swept away by the Seven Princesses, the silver tickets and other tickets stored in the silver number of Tong Jiao were not found, and the subordinates of Tong Wuxin's mother were not punished, they were also victims, and Tong Wuxin had made great contributions at that time, so these people followed Tong Wuxin. It's just that he returned to the fiefdom of the Seventh Princess and re-went through the procedures for the transfer of slave status, and now he is a person who has no heart. So Tong Wuxin is really a rich woman with a lot of assets.

The four old men are named Du Ping, Du An, Du Xing, and Du Wang, and they used to be the four most cronies of Tong Wuxin's mother, but now they are all fifty years old in a blink of an eye. Only then did Zhu Xiaobao know that Tong Wuxin's mother's surname was Du. It turned out to be a young lady from a big family. But I don't know if there are more, and Tong Wuxin doesn't want to say it.

……

The nineteenth princess is now starting to worry again, there is still half a month left to leave the three-month period stipulated by King Ming, and now she has not gathered 100,000 loads of forage at all. For this reason, the nineteenth princess and Xia Zixiu also had politics, Xia Zixiu wanted to raise money by raising taxes, but the nineteenth princess did not agree, the taxes in Xiyuan City were already very high, and if the tax burden was increased, it would only provoke public resentment, or a large number of civilians would flee from Xiyuan City.

But what to do with King Ming now?
