Therefore, under the current circumstances, the only tasks on the island are three things: clearing the land, leveling the land, and building roads.

When the people completed the construction of the settlement, Xiao Ai roughly divided the group into two groups and handed them over to the three Zhuang leaders to lead.

The specific distribution of the number of these two groups is also in the hands of the chiefs, one of whom is responsible for clearing the wasteland, and the other group is responsible for building roads and leveling industrial land, which includes the leveling of the land for the construction of ammunition factories and factories, as well as the roads between the factories, and it is expected that the construction of sugar factories and other factories may also begin in the near future, so it also includes the construction of roads to the quarries and other raw material production areas.

Obviously, the bosses of this kind of work are clear, and in the eyes of everyone, these cheap servants don't need the personal guidance of this Qiao family's uncle, so Xiao Ai took advantage of the situation and became a family member.

Therefore, for a long time after the completion of the wharf, Xiao Ai spent the day on the newly purchased sailing ship, the "Assassin", in addition to patrolling around and watching the excitement accompanied by an old village leader.

In addition to returning to the port of Macao to transport supplies, Xiao Ai also made several voyages around the islands around the islands, the purpose of which was not only to train sailors, but also to cultivate tacit understanding and affection, and to further survey the topography of these islands and the nearby sea conditions.

However, at night, Xiao Ai usually reads books by herself in her cabin or stilt room, and reads voraciously.

Xiao Ai was recently reading a thick book, a military regulation of a certain big country in the old world.

The books were lent to him, and such books occupy a considerable proportion of **'s personal belongings, and this military fan specially commissioned Anna to collect a lot of them for himself before the crossing.

** It is believed that if you want to quickly change from a military layman to a (pseudo) military expert who can pretend to be forced in front of the ancients, it is a shortcut to read these books carefully.

After reading these books, Xiao Ai sighed in his heart that ** told him the truth, these military regulations from the old world are actually a military encyclopedia, and the various provisions of the regulations include all military regulations, military affairs, military training and daily military management systems.

The reason why Xiao Ai wants to read such a book is because he has a sense of urgency and feels that he must have some reserves in terms of military skills and knowledge.

Now that the recruitment of labor and displaced people in Macau has gradually begun, and the four Chinese businessmen have also made it clear that they will help Australians participate in this matter for a long time, and now the construction of the island has begun, and with the gradual expansion of the scale of construction and the gradual gathering of the population, it will sooner or later be coveted by various forces.

Therefore, the selection of some people among the tenants and displaced people and the formation of a security force is a major matter that must be done urgently in the near future.

Now that the Pride has set off for Macao, the last telegram from the Red Mansion has made it clear that the family has not only brought weapons and ammunition to Macao, but also a complete set of ammunition factory production equipment.

Although the telegram from the Red Chamber did not explicitly ask the Macao side to form an armed force, since hundreds of Type 57 rifles and 15,000 rounds of ammunition were shipped, it was clear that this was a request for the brothers to strengthen the defense force of Wanshan Island.

And the intention of the Red Mansion is also very clear, Xiao Ai is likely to be the first person to lead this team.

The Red Mansion believes that after all, these homeless people were recruited with the help of the four Chinese businessmen, among which the Qiao family contributed the most, so in the eyes of the four Chinese businessmen, it was a very logical thing to hand over these homeless people to the Qiao family's aunts to lead.

Therefore, both the Supreme Executive Council and the members of the Huotang Club thought that it was necessary to go with the flow, take into account the concept of the four Chinese merchants, and hand over these displaced people and the armed forces composed of these displaced people to Dai Xiaoshan or Elush.

Obviously, it is inappropriate to send a divine doctor to be a general who leads troops to fight, so the only suitable person is Erush.

Although Ren Ke also wanted to lead this team, he also knew that he was not the son-in-law of the Qiao family after all, and his relationship with others was separated by several layers, and in order to allow the four Chinese businessmen to cooperate with us with peace of mind, he would definitely not come forward to replace the role of Ailush.

Of course, the main reason is that Ren Ke has his own plans, and he plans to find another way to explore channels for recruiting displaced people in the mainland.

This plan coincides with Zhu Beiguo's idea of establishing an independent underground immigration channel for Australia, and Ren Ke even plans to go to the mainland with the help of his own wife to see if he can recruit displaced people from other channels, and some of the places where these displaced people are developed and reclaimed will not be near Wanshan Island, or even in the coastal areas of the mainland at all, but far away in Zixia Island in the South Sea.

Ren Ke believes that the geographical location of Zixia Island is very important to us in Australia, and as an intermediate station between the Australian mainland and the South China Seas, that archipelago will sooner or later become a major destination for Sulu Han tenants and mainland displaced people, and it is obvious that he will be unique and make great achievements there.

So recently, Xiao Ai has been under a lot of pressure, he always feels that he is just a firefighter from the old world, only a high level of Chinese, and now it is very difficult to shoulder the task of being alone, and in the future, he will take over the task of leading soldiers to fight in a dangerous battle, which is simply a lot of pressure!

So now Xiao Ai, who seems to be a carefree family member, is actually not easy at all......

In addition to sailing, exploration and study, Xiao Ai also has to take the old village head to inspect everywhere, after all, being a family is also a family, and he can't turn a blind eye to the various projects that are being done on the island.

At present, the key project to be inspected is land reclamation.

However, the inspection of the reclamation can only take a general look, after all, Xiao Ai feels that compared with the tenants and tenant slaves, he is indeed a layman in terms of cultivating wasteland.

These days, Xiao Ai has been inspecting the reclamation site, and at the same time sighing in his heart, sure enough, the Qiao family attaches great importance to his uncle's reclamation business, and has made a lot of meticulous efforts from people to things.

First of all, Xiao Ai has a good impression of these laborers recruited by the Qiao family, these farmers, whether male or female, most of them are young and middle-aged people, and they are all good at work, even if they are older, they are also handicrafted, such as many old people can use the bamboo and rattan around them to weave various baskets, some women also carry women's red tools, and there are even two families with wooden spinning and looms.

In addition, poultry and livestock cubs are standard for all these 100 households, and when the houses dedicated to keeping poultry and livestock are built, these enclosures are immediately distributed to each family, so it immediately becomes very lively, and there are women everywhere and everywhere, quite the atmosphere of a large farm.

In addition, the three Zhuang heads sent by the Qiao family are also very powerful, and the three of them are one old and two young people in terms of age, through the contact of these days, Xiao Ai can see that this old Zhuang head is very prestigious in the other two Zhuang heads, and the old lady Qiao has also specially explained that in addition to the specific reclamation affairs of the counselor and assistant uncle, another main task is to personally take care of Xiao Ai's daily life.
