After listening to the translation, Zhu Qianyezi glanced at Wu Tianxiao and then lowered his head and did not speak.

Wu Tianxiao continued: "If you can tell me where Kang Lao's treasure is? Then I'll give you a chance to be a new person. We're going to settle here, and it's going to be a city soon, so there's going to be a lot of work here. As long as you tell me where Kang Lao's treasure is, I can not only give you a free identity, but also pay you to do laundry, clean the house, wash the clothes, and so on. But. If you can't give me useful value, then I can tell you that I have a few hundred strong men here, which is not very easy to deal with. ”

After listening to the translation of the cow knife cypress, those wandering warblers were all moved, and they all looked forward to looking at the bamboo thousand leaves. Apparently they all hoped that Takechiba could help them.

At this time, Nazhu Qianyezi raised his head and looked at Wu Tianxiao and asked, "Does what the uncle said count?" Can we no longer be a wanderer, can we have a free identity, and can we still make money by doing laundry and cleaning? ”

Wu Tianxiao nodded: "Although I am not a decent gentleman, I am not so good as to deceive a woman." After getting Kang Lao's treasure, you are the first people here, and I will protect you. In the future, there will be many sea ships that will bring a lot of things from Daming, and you can use the money you earn to buy everything you want. In the future, if any man is willing to marry you, you too will have a good home. That's better than being a wandering warbler, and when you die, no one will collect your body. ”

That Zhu Qianyezi was obviously not an ordinary woman, and she looked at Wu Tianxiao for a while at this time, until she saw the sincerity in Wu Tianxiao's eyes, and then said: "I believe that uncle, you will not lie to us weak women, I can take you to get Kang Lao's treasure." ”

Wu Tianxiao nodded with a smile and instructed Yang Hongju: "Take other women into custody first, if you really take the treasure, then treat these women as people in the future, and don't bully them." ”

After Yang Hongju heard this, he led people to take the other warblers into custody. Wu Tianxiao took Jiang Zhuang, Jia Youshi, Wu Dayou, Niu Daohui and others, and dozens of strong men, followed Zhu Qianyezi to get Kang Lao's treasure, and didn't want Zhu Qianyezi to take Wu Tianxiao and them to the dock.

Just when Wu Tianxiao and the others thought they were going to take a boat, the bamboo Qianye stopped at the edge of the dock, pointed to the river under the dock and said, "Kang Lao's treasure sank in the water, there are a total of eighteen boxes. ”

It turned out that Kang Lao exchanged the looted property in the past for gold and silver through some smugglers, packed it and sank it at the bottom of the wharf. Jia Youshi and others are all fishermen, all of them are very good at water, and after listening to the translation of Niu Dao Juniper, they are eager to try. Jia Youshi saw Wu Tianxiao nodding to himself, and immediately jumped into the water.

Just a moment, Jia Youshi came out of the water and shouted, "Master Wu." There are many chests under the water. ”

Wu Tianxiao was overjoyed in his heart, and immediately ordered: "Go and get the rope, go down a few more, and fish them up for me." ”

After listening to Wu Tianxiao's words, even if someone went to the boat to get the rope, there were three or five strong men with good water ability who jumped into the water one after another. With the joint efforts of the people, in a short time, eighteen wooden boxes wrapped in cowhide were salvaged with ropes. When I opened it, I saw that the box was full of ingots of silver, and one of the boxes was full of gold, totaling more than 40,000 taels.

got the treasure of Kang Lao, Wu Tianxiao also counted, and when he returned to the village, he released those wandering warblers. And agreed with them that Zhu Chibazi would be their leader, responsible for washing clothes and cleaning the people in the village. Zhu Qianyezi's salary is three taels of silver per month, and others are two taels, and they have food and shelter. This kind of treatment is simply a big pie, and I am happy to make those warblers smile.

The occupation of Kang Lao's stockade this time, as well as the treasures taken out and the seized property, were worth a total of 50,000 or 60,000 taels of silver, a large part of which was grain. Then Wu Tianxiao rewarded everyone, each person who participated in this sea crossing was twenty taels of silver, and the dozen or so Ming Zhuang who threw grenades added fifty taels each. Jia Youshi, Jiang Zhuang, Wu Dayou, Yang Hongju, Chen Minxin, Chen Minzhi and other leaders added an extra 100 taels each. And in the battle, there are those who kill the Japanese Invaders, and the killing of a Japanese Kou will provide an additional ten taels, and those who are killed by grenades are not counted. An additional five taels will be given to the injured, and thirty taels will be provided to the disabled. In addition to the reward of 20 taels of money, Wu Tianxiao gave another 20 taels because of his meritorious work in leading the way, and he was so happy that he was upset.

This time, the reward was almost 10,000 taels. Then Wu Tianxiao set a rule that in the future, whenever he won the battle, he would take out one-fifth of the captured booty and use it to reward and subsidize those who participated in the war.

The reward is over. Wu Tianxiao asked Jia Youshi to take some people who could repair ships to repair and maintain the three sea ships. Now Wu Tianxiao has three sea ships under his command, except for the one captured on the way, some of the decks were blown up by grenades and need to be repaired, the other two only need to be maintained before they can continue sailing. At the same time, three sea ships were named, and the largest one was still commanded by Wu Tianxiao and named the Explorer. The smaller one captured halfway was named Zhenyuan, and Jia Youshi led seventy strong men to carry it. The smallest ship was not prepared for a long voyage, but was only responsible for close transportation and training sailors, named the Training Number, and was trained by Jiang Zhuang with the recruited Ming Zhuang.

After the command and personnel arrangements of the three ships were decided. Wu Tianxiao led everyone to use Kang Lao's old village to rebuild a new village and named it Wujiazhai. Wujiazhai was surrounded by horses, and a trench was dug with bamboo thorns inserted in the ditch. Lookouts were also erected at the four corners, and a dirt road leading to the pier was paved and widened. Preparations are also being made for the establishment of a ferry crossing on the other side of the river, with the intention of establishing a market and trying to exchange markets with the local natives.

In the following days, there was nothing else to do, except for the repair of ships and the construction of new stockades. More than 300 people, and they have just received the reward, and they are all energetic to work. In just three to five days, a new village has been repaired. During this period, Wu Tianxiao was still after nightfall, using the short time before resting, relying on his memory, with Wujiazhai as the central point, to draw a map of Dongfan Island. The freshwater river was named the Danshui River, and the freshwater tributary north of Wujiazhai was named Hanxi.

When the village was built, Wu Tianxiao wanted to take everyone across the Han River to find the natives to trade with each other. So this morning, Jia Youshi, Jiang Zhuang, Wu Dayou, Yang Hongju, Chen Minxin, and Chen Minzhi were invited to discuss matters with Niu Daojuni, who was familiar with the place.

Wu Tianxiao spread out the simple map he had drawn on the table in the hall and said to everyone: "This is a map I have drawn in the past few days. With pointing to the map, he explained: "This center is our current Wujiazhai, this big river is called the Danshui River, and the Danshui tributary to the north of the village is called Hanxi." Not far from the other side of Wujiazhai Wharf, there is a tidal flat that is very suitable for building a ferry, and I plan to ferry to the north shore to find the aborigines to exchange markets. We now have some cloth, ceramics and matches on board, which these natives love and need. You can definitely exchange it for a lot of strange materials. ”

The cow knife juniper was scared when he heard it: "Master Wu." Those natives are very cruel, they are very xenophobic, and when they meet, they will only fight. I'm wary that they don't know what a mutual market is, and they will only use knives to rob them. ”

Wu Tianxiao was disdainful: "You used to be with the Japanese Invaders, do the Wolves know how to trade with each other?" The Japanese only kill and plunder. Not to mention the natives, even if we see the Japanese invaders, we will only fight. You must know that the natives are not like robbers, as long as there are reasonable exchange conditions, it is not difficult to exchange markets. ”
