Of course, another reason is: this place originally had a wharf in the old world, and the ancestors had already chosen the address, so the seabed geology here is actually very suitable for piling, and the materials for repairing the wharf are also prepared in advance, and the main engineering operation is nothing more than laying a few rows of wooden piles on the beach, and then laying thick planks in turn, the engineering requirements are not complicated---- there is not even a fence handrail on the entire trestle, and the width is only three meters.

Well, simplicity is a little simpler, but it does not affect the use of functions at all, in short, under the auspices of Xiao Ai, the dock is completed.

In fact, the reason why Xiao Ai commanded everyone to do so smoothly was mainly due to those sailors with excellent water ability, but everyone still habitually attributed these credits to the uncle of the Qiao family---- because in the eyes of everyone, Xiao Ai should be attributed to the category of nobles whether it is identity or appearance.

In the East of this era, people are accustomed to attributing the career achievements of everyone after working together to the nobles---- which is the state of mind that the people at the bottom are very accustomed to.

Moreover, this "nobleman" is also very good at being a person, the sailors go into the water to dive and fix the pile is a difficult technical job, and there is no diving suit and other equipment in this era, the diver goes into the water and sets the pile by one breath, it is not easy, so every time the deep-water pile is successful, Xiao Ai will be very generous to take out the Australian sweet potato spirits prepared in advance from the cabin and the special salted fish and tomato sauce made by the crew to entertain everyone, not to mention that this wine is very strong, high degree, very popular with manual laborers, and the sailors are recognized, Those salted dried fish and tomato sauce are also delicious, Xiao Ai is clear about this, after all, the refined salt, spices and various seasonings in it are indeed delicious for this era, and some seasonings are not even available in the imperial dining room in the palace, such as chicken essence and chili powder.

Of course, the most popular is Australia's sweet potato spirits, in this era, high-grade wine is not a bargain that ordinary people can drink, but this son-in-law of the Qiao family is so generous, just for this, Xiao Ai is very popular with sailors.

After the completion of the wharf, Xiao Ai named the wharf "East Beach Wharf" on the spot.

At the same time as the wharf project, the construction of the peninsula terrace residential area on the south side was carried out, and by the time the wharf was completed, six rows of stilt houses with a total of more than 100 large and small houses had appeared.

The house is made of logs and bamboo, and the thatch on the roof is made of local materials, which is made of artemisia grass, which grows on the island, and although it looks quite simple, it is very sturdy, not only to shelter from the wind and rain, but also to keep warm in winter and cool in summer.

The rows of houses are arranged on a gentle slope in the middle of the terrace according to the undulation of the topography, and there is a small square in the middle of the six rows of buildings.

However, after a while of getting in and out of the new house, Xiao Ai called the head of the village and some of the villagers with a serious face, and asked them to build two public toilets and a few rows of livestock and poultry houses far downwind from the house.

Because he found that above these stilt houses were people's living rooms, and below them were pens for livestock and poultry!

And it's also a place for toilets and garbage to be discarded, so it doesn't matter if no one lives there yet, but after people live for a long time, won't it stink?

Even if it is not so smelly because of good ventilation, it is obvious that this kind of living state is extremely unhygienic---- and this kind of mixed living situation is easy to be infected with epidemics, Xiao Ai soon realized that this way of living is definitely a big hidden danger.

However, Xiao Ai did not directly say that it is very unhygienic for you to live like this, because people don't understand it, he just told Zhuangtou and the villagers that this is not good feng shui, it will cause plague, you should build some public toilets, as well as public baths, and repair the livestock and poultry pen tongue house to the southeast corner of the downwind and water.

Sure enough, once Xiao Ai talked about feng shui issues, Zhuang Tou and the villagers immediately believed it, after all, in the eyes of Zhuang Tou and the villagers, this young aunt of the Qiao family was a learned nobleman, and his words must be right.

So they started working again, and built public toilets and livestock pens on the cliffside of a hundred meters away from the southeast sea, and also built two public bathhouses at the west end of the village, divided into men and women, separated from each other as far away as possible, and also built very strong and well shaded.

Finally, a dam was built with bamboo fences and stones, and a diversion canal was made of thick bamboo that split and opened up the joints, and the stream was brought to the bathhouse and the small square beyond.

Xiao Ai decided that these five hundred and sixty-one men, women, and children must all live together, not only to facilitate management, but also to strengthen the defense capability, knowing that this is a lawless open sea, in the future, if a passing pirate discovers this settlement and runs to rob it, then the terrain of this peninsula platform is very suitable for defense.

Because this peninsula plateau is separated by a small valley and faces the towering granite limestone cliffs on the west side, Xiao Ai named this place Yaqian Town, and also built his office and living room on land on the north side of Yaqian Town.

The house was spacious, on the north side of the town of Cliff, the highest point of the mesa with a good view and overlooking the pier in the bay under the terrace, a row of large stilt houses, the large houses of which were the meeting places of the people, and the cottages on either side of which were the living quarters of Elush.

The next step is to build a road connecting the East Beach Pier to Yaqian Town.

The road was built to make the most of the topography here, from the sandy beach to the isthmus, there is a seasonal stream that winds from behind the cliffs of the coast, it is now September, the autumn tiger season in the eighth month of the lunar calendar, there is not much rain, and the semi-dry riverbed itself is a path.

Under the command of Xiao Ai, the leaders of the village took dozens of men to pick up stones on the island for several days, and then paved a stone path more than two meters wide on the side of the creek like building a low wall.

At the same time as building the road, it is to open up the wasteland, there is a mountain depression basin less than a mile away from the town in front of the cliff to the west, there is a small pond in the center, when the brother explored here, he thought that this place is very suitable for reclamation to do arable land, because the soil is thick, it is convenient to get water, and it is a good choice to grow grain or sugarcane in this basin.

In fact, in the old world, there used to be a piece of farmland here, but later it was returned to forest, and the brother estimated on the spot that about 500 acres of land could be reclaimed here.

However, don't look at the total area of this island is four square kilometers, about 6,000 acres of land, but this small basin is one of the few plots suitable for farming on the island, and the rest of the places are either too rugged, or they are rocky, or it is inconvenient to take water, and it is necessary to build channels to divert water, so from an economic point of view, those places will be a little more than worth the losses if they insist on agricultural production.

When the road was completed, Xiao Ai took the village leaders to inspect everywhere, and also came to this wasteland site, at this time the small basin has been unrecognizable, the original dense forests and shrubs have been cut down by the tenants with sickles, axes, hoes and saws and other tools to cut down a mess, there are more than a dozen large and small new plots around the small pond, the total area is about 50 acres, for only a simple farm tool for the 100th male, such a progress is already quite good.

According to the construction plan, the nearby Dawanshan Island is the main industry of agriculture, and the industrial area is located on the island with better raw material conditions.

So the reclamation was confined to this small basin, and in the rest of the world, it was the site of a planned pharmaceutical factory, an ammunition factory, a brick factory, a cement factory, and possibly a glass factory.

In addition, there are coal-fired thermal power plants in the construction plan of the company, although it is still unknown whether these construction projects can be realized in the second half of this year---- and it depends entirely on the support of the Red Mansion.
