Before you know it, the traverser has occupied the Dayuan for seven days. The seven-day crossing crowd was highly tense: five or six forces of different nationalities were crowded on this small sandbar, and if it weren't for the overwhelming force and inferior number of sand boat visitors, I would not even dare to sleep these days.

There is no such thing as Class B and Class C labor. All the laborers brought from Hangzhou "raised the flag" overnight - all joined the party and became official "employees" of the company with wages.

The leaders of the beggar gang now do their old job: they act as overseers every day with whips and clubs. Other honest farmers and homeless people are responsible for the menial work of repairing the store's infrastructure, cleaning it, stockpiling drinking water, and cooking.

The Dutch were usually driven to the island to set fires, and at one point some of the crossers made a bet on the red-haired men whether anyone would run away. However, the Redfurs were well aware of what they had done when they had ruled the place before - the pair of gallows made of fine wood outside the merchant house was proof of that. The gallows, built by the second prefect of the Grand Lord, Gerard Weiss, were built by order himself, and taught many slaves and natives how to behave.

The traversers regretted to find that the red-haired people would rather be killed by smoke and fire, than run away to distant indigenous villages. It seems that Christians are still very resistant to hanging their own skulls on the doorposts of other people's homes.

The life of the Banda slaves was much better. At least crossing the power will keep everyone under his rule fed and clothed, and it has nothing to do with identity.

Fujian fishermen found the newcomer short-haired man particularly easy to deal with.

Not to mention the kindness, the stolen fishing boats were also returned after the incident. Boats were hired to ferry, and silver was given to buy fish, and the price was fair. The fish tax is not high, much less than when the red-haired old man was in power.

The short-haired old man also has a good medical skill, and he can go to the ground with a single sewing of the wound of the head breaking and bleeding, but the consultation fee is too expensive, and the money saved will be spent cleanly. In the past few days, there is a bald man surnamed Feng who is inviting people to join him everywhere, and he has promised a lot of benefits: monthly salary, three meals a day, and injuries to the end. If you hadn't shaved your hair before joining the gang, I'm afraid that the gentlemen from Fujian would have all joined the gang a long time ago.

......

The sand on Dayuan Island is warm and pure, and the surrounding scenery is stunning. The traversers who had just arrived at the treasure land had not yet cultivated to the realm of immunity to natural scenery. So sitting on the sand dunes in the evening, blowing the salty sea breeze, lighting a cigarette, and having a small meeting has become a reserved program for some upper-class people in recent times.

"Are you ready for the Dogeye?" Xia Xianze sat at the bottom of the sand dune, leaning back against the sand, stretched out his legs comfortably, and asked Liu Zhe, who was sitting on his left.

"Just move in a little sandalwood and ivory, it's essentially an empty ship, ready to go at any time."

"Well, let's leave early tomorrow morning." Xia Xianze paused and continued to ask, "How long will it take to return to Hangzhou?" ”

"That's not at all." Liu Zhe shook his head: "This is a headwind, let's go." It is not uncommon to be able to climb to Hangzhou in ten days and half a month, and it is possible to encounter something in a month. But fortunately, there is a radio station, and the whereabouts can be grasped. ”

"Well, speaking of the radio, where are Mr. Cao?"

Liu Zhe looked at his watch: "The telegram two hours ago said that the boat had arrived at the mouth of the Tamsui River. ”

On the third day of the occupation of Dayuan, as soon as the situation was initially under control, Dayuan sent a telegram informing them to set sail for two reserve sand boats that had been prepared in Hangzhou for a long time. One of the two boats has navigation and power equipment, and Chairman Cao is on that boat at the moment.

"Just get to the near shore." Xia Xianze breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm afraid that there will be problems in the open sea, if you go along the coast, you can break through the sky and hit the reef, and Mr. Cao can go back to 'over there'." ”

"Think about it a lot, Lao Xia, if you have instruments, how can you run into the rocks so easily."

"Well, that's OK for that."

After the problem was discussed, the sky was almost dark, Xia Xianze patted his ass and got up: "Finish work and go home, Lao Feng will tell me about the new city plan on the road." ”

"The general plan is out." Wearing gold-rimmed glasses and an elegant temperament, Feng Guanjie opened his mouth and replied. Then he stretched out his hand as he walked and gestured to the southwest side of the merchant hall: "The new city is built in this area, and a small town alone will be done." ”

......

The existing merchant house was built by the Dutch in a hurry, and the walls are wooden plywood rammed earth walls - the local dialect is called dry base. The soil of the wall was dug from the mangrove forest on the opposite bank, and there was only sand on Dayuan Island. The foundation, walls, wooden buildings and layout of the old merchant building do not meet the standards of the time-travelers from later generations.

However, the old museum is now so full of people and goods that it cannot be renovated at all, and it is not cost-effective to renovate: it is easier to build a new city.

The forts built by Europeans in the wilderness must be multi-functional forts that integrate military, government and business. However, the traverser does not need to: in the future, all industrial and commercial activities will take place on the other side, and most of the population will live on the other side. The size of the Dutch could not support it in the later period, and they ran to Chihkan to build a city, and the crossing forces that were always working hard to explode the population would naturally not take a detour.

The military aspect is similarly small: the crossing forces, which have a huge range advantage, do not need to build the castle in the dock area, but instead build the castle in the center of the island to block the shipping lane. And the traversers could easily sweep the landing force to death on a kilometer-long stretch of sand while chatting - if any fool dared to land in the future.

Therefore, the new city does not need a fortress design, it can place the weapons brought by the future generations, how simple and how to come. As for the dock area, it is completely possible to build a turret to assist in the defense, saving labor and materials.

For a force that will leave Dayuan in a few years and go to the vast world to spread wilderness, the political and commemorative significance of the new city is even more important: hold a shareholders' meeting, meet with foreign envoys, and carve a XX on the wall to visit here......

In short, a small, simple, and characteristic castle is the most suitable building for the style of the time-traveler's rule.

After listening to Feng Guanjie's report, it is already a branch of the moon, as far as Xia Xianze himself is concerned, he still agrees with this plan - I know that I will move in a few years, and I can get a courtyard house with some work, what kind of bicycle do I want?

However, this matter cannot be decided by him alone, not to mention the existing personnel, Chairman Cao and some of the left-behind people will soon rush to the big staff, there are still many major matters to discuss, and the matter of building the city can only be solved together at that time.

In the evening of the next day, all the non-traversers who could move freely on Dayuan Island ran out to watch the excitement: two sand boats slowly passed through the channel and sailed into the dock of the Taijiang Inland Sea. These days, the "pirates", "Ming Guosama" and "short-haired masters" who are doing whatever they want are all gathered on the dock, and AK rifles without flame suppressors spray 1-meter-long celebratory fireworks into the sky.

The founder of the company, the local tyrant, the live-action robot cat, and the powerful plane traveler, Chairman Cao Chuancao, was taken down from the sand boat. I saw that he was wrapped in a thin quilt, and there were faint traces of vomiting on the side of the pillow, and he was motionless, almost covered with a glass cover.
