Chapter 346: Settling-in Fee

The little warrior's words made everyone laugh, but no one expected the fifty dollars.

Zhou Lin asked Cui Haitao to take out the roster and call out the name of the first person: "The first regiment, the second battalion, the third company, the fourth platoon, the fifth squad, the king and the second dog." ”

"Here!" Zhou Lin heard that the voice was a little familiar, looked up, and couldn't help but smile.

It turned out that this Wang Ergou was the little soldier who didn't believe in giving fifty dollars to settle in just now.

"Get out of the line!" Zhou Lin immediately ordered.

The little warrior walked out and came to the table in front of Zhou Lin.

Magnolia handed over a piece of ink and asked him to press a handprint in a column of the form.

After the little soldier finished pressing the ink, he stood there stupidly, not knowing what to do.

Xiangjun took out five ten-yuan bills and handed them to Wang Ergou.

"What is this?" Wang Ergou looked at the dollar in his hand puzzled.

Cui Haitao immediately said: "This is US dollars, ten yuan each." ”

Wang Ergou screamed: "I won!" When I first applied, my family was still reluctant, but now let them see that I have dollars. ”

"Homecoming! Next! Zhang Ergou! Zhou Lin smiled: "Among the two thousand of you, how many of them are called Ergou?" ”

Cui Haitao said with a smile: "There should be more than a hundred, and our custom there is called a rough name to make a living." ”

After more than three hours, all the settling-in allowances for the soldiers on Island A were paid.

In the afternoon, Zhou Lin went to Island B again and paid out the settling-in allowance for the soldiers on Island B.

The soldiers got the money, and they were all happy, and they all said that it was happiness to follow such a master.

The next day, a piece of news spread throughout the Malay Archipelago.

A Chinese bought three islands, but when he came to find that the islands were occupied, the Chinese brought more than 300 people and killed all the 300 Malays who occupied the islands.

This news brings good news to the Chinese who have been bullied in the Malay Archipelago.

Within three days, hundreds of Chinese came to worship the island.

Zhou Lin did not come forward, but asked Fang Long to come forward, because those who came were basically overseas Chinese from Zhejiang and Fujian.

When Fang Long and his soldiers spoke Zhejiang, many Chinese who came cried.

When the villagers saw the villagers, their eyes were full of tears, and they heard the local sound.

Immediately, a Chinese person applied, hoping to add people to Zhoujiadao, and if they did not agree, they would not leave.

According to Zhou Lin's strategy, Fang Long promised Zhoujiadao to accept 2,000 Chinese first.

But when they went back to publicize, on the third day, 10,000 Chinese came.

Fang Long pretended to have a headache and was surrounded for an hour, and finally, Fang Long said to go and ask the island owner to accept the 10,000 Chinese.

Of course, Zhou Lin agreed, so Fang Long accepted 10,000 Chinese at once.

More than 10,000 people were assigned to Island B and the larger islands around the main island.

All of a sudden, Island B became lively, and its popularity surpassed that of Island A.

This made Cui Haitao's eyes red all of a sudden, and he ran to find Zhou Lin.

Zhou Lin smiled and asked him to find Fang Long, after all, Fang Long had an advantage, he was from Zhejiang.

In the next five days, Zhoujiadao received 20,000 Chinese.

Cui Haitao's island group received 10,000 people, and the remaining 10,000 people wanted to go to live on the islands of Zhejiang people, so they had to go to Fang Long's island group.

Among these Chinese, there were all walks of life, and all of a sudden the economy of the two main islands prospered, restaurants, shops, pharmacies, and even antique shops opened.

Zhou Lin issued the first island owner regulation: all Chinese living on the island who come to Zhoujia Island to do business enjoy tax exemption for two years.

In the Malay Archipelago, where the surrounding islands have heavy taxes, this news suddenly added 30,000 people to Zhoujia Island.

Zhou Lin still didn't let go of Island C, and the 30,000 people who came were assigned to the two islands of AB.

Up to now, the number of residents on Zhoujia Island has reached more than 80,000.

This is among the top ten islands in Fang Yuan's hundred miles.

And that's just the permanent population, but there are many non-resident residents.

They are a group of people who come to do business on the island, and most of them are Malays.

Zhou Lin has implemented strict management of Malays, etc., and each merchant must have more than three local residents to guarantee it, and if something happens, the guarantor will be liable.

In just ten days, the market of Zhoujia Island took shape, and both AB islands had the prototype of the city.

There are hundreds of boats to and from Zhoujiadao every day, and there are special lines of boats to Zhoujiadian from various places.

Because Zhoujiadao implements a tax-free policy, the things traded on Zhoujiadao are ten percent cheaper than those outside.

This brought in a large number of customers, and at the same time spread the reputation of Zhoujiadao in all directions.

Under the impetus of Zhou Lin's 150,000 US dollars, the urban construction on Zhoujia Island was finally completed within a month. Zhoujia Island is officially squeezed into the list of Malay cities.

And Zhou Lin asked Cui Haitao and Fang Long to recruit 3,000 soldiers from the existing island residents.

The three regiments of Cui Haitao's division have more than 3,000 members, and the barracks of the troops are very powerful.

The three regiments of the Fanglong Division also have more than 3,000 members, and the recruits are stepping up their training.

In this way, Zhou Lin had two field divisions in his hands, totaling more than 6,000 people.

In addition, Zhou Lin also recruited 500 police officers from among the Chinese.

After half a month of training, this group of police officers has already taken up their posts.

Police stations, police stations, and sentinels have been set up.

As a result, the order of Zhoujiadao was put on the right track and the safety of the islanders was ensured.

A month later, Zhou Lin happily took Xiangjun shopping, but ran into an acquaintance.

Zhang Wenxuan, a close confidant of Nanyang overseas Chinese patriotic leader Tan Kah Kee.

"When you come to me, why don't you come to the door for tea?" Zhou Lin asked.

"You're too crowded to keep secrets! So I'm waiting for you to come out. ”

Zhou Lin and Zhang Wenxuan came to a teahouse, which was opened by Fang Long's nephew and daughter-in-law.

Xiangjun was drinking tea inside the door, and outside the door was the old fourteenth.

"Yan'an's arms supply has been reduced to a minimum, and if it is not replenished, there will be no war," Zhou Lin told Zhang Wenxuan about the mission.

"It's good to say if it's other supplies, but when it comes to arms, it's very difficult for us to do it." Zhang Wenxuan said.

After coming for a long time, Zhou Lin also learned about the actual situation in Nanyang.

"Where did the guns in the Nanyang black market come from now?" Zhou Lin asked.

"There are several places, but the number of guns on the black market is very small. Last time, one person bought ten American rifles from the American army. Zhang Wenxuan said.

After Zhou Lin heard this, his heart moved: "The US military has an arsenal here?" ”

"The US military has a military base in the Philippines, how can it not have an arsenal?"

Zhou Lin said with a smile: "Then we will fight the idea of the US military arsenal." ”

"Do you have a relationship?" Zhang Wenxuan saw Zhou Lin's full grasp and asked.

"I'm going to talk to Smith." Zhou Lin asked an "eye of the night" to call Smith over for tea.

Ten minutes later, Smith came to the teahouse.

"Tea or coffee?" Zhou Lin asked Smith.

Smith looked at Zhou Lin's teacup and shook his head: "I drink coffee." ”

Zhou Lin asked the proprietress to serve Smith a cup of coffee.
