In a humble dock not far from the wharf of Chongtian Island, shipbuilding work is in full swing.

In a group of older carpentry masters, a dark-skinned young man was busy from time to time.

Today is the fourth day that Ivy has come to Chongtian Island, and when he first heard that Chongtian Island was going to recruit laborers, he just came with the idea of trying it out, after all, Chongtian Island has always been very poor in his impression, and whether he can be paid is also a question.

With the idea that he really couldn't waste a day at most, he came to Chongtian Island.

Then he was met by a handsome young owner, who adopted his idea, much to his delight.

From his companions, he also knew that the young island lord was from an extraordinary background, and every scene he saw during his four days on Chongtian Island refreshed his eyes.

The laborers' meals are also very good, the fragrant rice is unlimited, and they can also go to the church to study for free. Even if he rolled his eyes at the aristocratic teacher every time he passed, as long as he could learn knowledge, he didn't care about that.

The same was true for the next three days, and he no longer had to worry about the remuneration and began to concentrate on building ships.

"Ivey, can you come and see if this is okay?" an old carpenter waved at Ivey and asked him to come over and take a look.

Because of the mutant monster fish, the original ship has been changed, the hull needs to be reinforced, and the position of the sail has been reserved.

The man who proposed this hull was none other than Ivey, who drew a drawing, although not as refined as the modern design, but which was of great help to the shipbuilding of this era. When Xiao Li learned about it, he asked him to be a designer and be in charge of shipbuilding with Wobes.

Since all the carpenters were building such ships for the first time, there were many things that needed to be rediscovered, and Ivey, the designer, was the object of their call.

For this job, Ivy is tired of it, and does not care about their calls at all, and sometimes even takes the initiative to help. As long as he can learn, he is satisfied.

......

In the Chongtian Island residential area, Xiao Li also moved into a newly built palm house, with an area of about 200 square meters, and a backyard, which was a beach, and a piece of land was filled with some experimental vegetable seeds on the side of the beach.

Xiao Li was lying in the hammock swaying back and forth, his face was full of trouble, and his reputation had recently begun to make ends meet, which made him extremely distressed.

At first, he didn't have this problem, but with the large number of migrant workers hired and the new decree on Shark Island, his popularity was spent.

He did the math.

Income: Chongtian Island catches an average of three mutant monster fish per day, earning 150 reputation points.

Expenditure: There are more than 170 people on the island, serving rice for three meals a day, consuming two bags of rice per day, for a total of 20 reputation points. Coupled with the remuneration of those laborers for a bag of rice a month, thirty laborers would cost more than 300 points a month, not counting the hard-working Chongtian Island islanders.

"Even at the risk of being exposed, the acquisition of mutant monster fish will continue, even if it is against Sea Shark Island, which has a population of more than 4,000. Xiao Li got up from the hammock, he knew that he would have a battle with Sea Shark Island sooner or later, since that was the case, why not take advantage of their fledgling and strike first?

Xiao Li walked out of the house and walked towards the council chamber.

......

Thirty nautical miles away from Chongtian Island is an island called Mousse Island.

At this moment, all the islanders of Mousse Island gathered, and a middle-aged man with dark skin stood on a high platform, reading a letter.

"What do you think of Chongtian Island's proposal?" said the middle-aged man, looking down.

The words fell, and the audience soon resounded with a fierce discussion.

"Island Master, I don't think it's appropriate, if we sell the mutant monster fish to Chongtian Island, will we offend Sea Shark Island because of this?"

"I think I can trade with Chongtian Island, and the price they gave is double that of Sea Shark Island, which is equivalent to an extra bag of rice!"

"I also agreed to sell to Chongtian Island. ”

In the audience, countless islanders stood up and expressed their opinions.

The middle-aged man looked at the fierce quarrel of everyone in the audience, and his face showed a look of distress. As the owner of the island, he is also in a dilemma, and he doesn't know who to sell to. In his heart, he was more inclined to trade with Chongtian Island, but he was afraid of Sea Shark Island's revenge.

Wobes had been standing on the sidelines and watching quietly, but when he saw this scene, he knew he should step forward.

"Lord Kadar Island, are you afraid of Sea Shark Island and holding a grudge?" Wobes patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Don't worry, if Sea Shark Island attacks, we in Chongtian Island are willing to advance and retreat with you." ”

Hearing Wobes's words, Kadar was stunned for a moment, but quickly came to his senses. Recently, he also knows some about the deeds of Chongtian Island, and I heard that a noble son from the mainland came to Chongtian Island and served as the owner of Chongtian Island.

It's just that he is a little worried, can Yuanshui save the near fire? When the reinforcements on the mainland arrive, I'm afraid that the daylilies are cold?

Wobes saw through his thoughts and smiled, "Don't worry, we have brought advanced weapons. He waved his hand, and behind him a young laborer who had followed from Chongtian Island brought a wooden box.

Kadar glanced at Wobes, not knowing where he got his confidence, but he was also extremely curious, what kind of weapon was it?

He opened the wooden box and immediately saw a weapon similar to a bow and arrow, and next to this weapon, there were dozens of arrows. He looked at Wobes and asked how to use the weapon.

Wobes smiled and nodded, put his right hand into the wooden box and took out the crossbow, and then used his hands and feet together, opened the crossbow, put in the crossbow arrow, and aimed the crossbow at a coconut tree two hundred meters away.

Sou!

He pulled the trigger, and the crossbow arrow instantly shot at a very fast speed, and by the time everyone reacted, the crossbow arrow had already been shot into the coconut tree.

Kadar was so shocked that he hurried to the coconut tree, and when he saw the crossbow bolts that went deep into it, he was dumbfounded!

Wobes took out the crossbow arrow in his right hand, looked at Kadar, and smiled: "Lord Kadar, what do you think of this weapon? If it is on the surface of the sea, it can even shoot through the scales of mutant monster fish!"

"If you agree to form an alliance with our Chongtian Island, I can give you two crossbows for free. ”

Hearing Wobes's words, Kadar was thrilled, and he asked again, "If Sea Shark Island is in trouble with us, will you Chongtian Island really help?"

"Well, it's true, Lord Xiao Li said it himself. Wobes replied with great certainty.

Hearing this, Kadar was quite excited, clasped Wabes's hands tightly, and said excitedly: "Mr. Wobes, happy cooperation!"
