Most of these captured pirates were young adults, and they had been begging for a living at sea for a long time, and their bodies were not only strong but also strong. These more than 300 people were placed on Fei Xin's treasure ship to waste food, and naturally they should not be wasted.

The island is under great construction, and the shortage of labor has always been a headache for Tang Ming, who didn't know how Zhu Di would deal with these people before. Tang Ming didn't dare to use them on his own initiative, so he could only wait for news.

It's different now, Li Ba has been back for so long, it stands to reason that someone should come to deliver the message. The more than ten days of waiting made Tang Ming understand a truth, the transmission of news in ancient times was not as convenient as in later generations, and the so-called general should not be subject to the emperor's order.

As long as he didn't kill these captive pirates and let them do some work, I believe the emperor would not blame him for this.

More than three hundred pirates stood in three columns on the beach, and Tang Ming walked in front of them with his hands behind his back, looking at each other. A sharp look swept over them, and he coughed lightly.

"You scum are lucky to have survived the battlefield and spent more than ten days on my treasure ship. As a captive, you may think that this is the treatment you deserve, hum ....... ”

With a sneer, Tang Ming continued: "Now Lord Ben declares that your good life is over. This marquis has decided to let you fend for yourself, and from now on you will be scattered to work in different places, and you will only have food to eat if you complete the tasks assigned to you. If you don't finish it or cause something, then you're waiting to go hungry. ”

"Every six months I will select the ten best performers from among you, restore your free body, and give you the status to be my servants. If you want to live a good life in the future, then give me a hard performance. ”

None of the more than three hundred pirates dared to say anything, and all of them were weighing the credibility of Tang Ming's words just now. From the day they started as pirates, these people didn't take their lives seriously.

It's not that they regard death as home, but that most of them have violated the law in the Ming Dynasty, or killed someone and were wanted by the government, or they were forced to have no way out to do these illegal things.

Who wants to endure loneliness at sea and do this kind of reviled business? Now the opportunity is in front of them, and those who perform well can obtain the status of a commoner, although they still have to be the servants of the Hou Ye, but this temptation is enough to make them feel tempted.

If it was someone else who said these words, these pirates would not believe it so thoroughly, and there was another reason that Tang Ming was now in the inland far away from the Ming Dynasty. It's an island overseas, and this is the sea they are familiar with, and the resistance will be much less.

In addition, Tang Ming at this moment is like a pirate, but he will not rob money, nor will he do those illegal things. The Emperor of Heaven is far away from the Hou Ye, and if these pirates can settle down here, they will naturally be happy, because this is not much different from when they were pirates.

If they insist on picking bones in the egg, then they can only say that they have to abide by the law here in Tang Ming, and they can't do something for nothing like before.

Tang Ming, the marquis, seemed to be a little irresponsible, and after mobilizing these pirates, he ordered the guards to take people to work. Worrying about these pirates, he felt that there was no need for this, the emperor didn't know what to do with them, if he poured too much effort into it, in case the holy decree came to kill them.

Then Tang Ming will be empty again, and he will be busy in vain. So before the emperor's intention is determined, let these people work honestly, don't block him, and don't think about anything else at all.

The success of the biogas digester not only pleased Tang Ming, but also began to prepare for large-scale development. He gave a hundred tasks to the previous dozen craftsmen who participated in the construction of the biogas digester, only giving them five days, and after five days, at least one hundred biogas digesters must be completed, and Tang Ming would go to the acceptance on time.

It is not difficult to build 100 biogas digesters in five days, but what makes it difficult for a few old craftsmen is the lack of manpower. Because there are no good bricks, they can only use local materials and use stones from the mountains, but in this way, most of the manpower is used to make these stones alone, and the stones are mined by hand and broken into small pieces, which is simply too late.

When several craftsmen and masters were in a dilemma, they heard that Tang Ming had brought more than three hundred young and middle-aged pirates for them. Now it's going to blow up the nest, those pirates used to be avoided by everyone, and now they are all fragrant here.

A few old craftsmen almost did it because they robbed people, but in the end, Tang Ming was afraid that something would happen, so he ordered them to divide it equally, which calmed down the farce.

In the past, being a pirate was a rat crossing the street, and everyone shouted at him, but he never thought that he would have such a popular day. Although these pirates are now robbed to do coolies, this kind of treatment still makes them very useful in their hearts, and they work quite hard.

Of course, there is also Tang Ming's encouragement to them, as long as they can strive to become those ten outstanding people in half a year, then they can get rid of the identity of pirates and become Hou Ye's servant.

They heard that Hou Ye didn't even have a housekeeper by his side now, only two of the two little servants sent to him by Tang Tianhao were taking care of Hou Ye's daily life. At this time, if they can become Hou Ye's servants, there is no need to doubt the bright future in the future.

Tang Ming dealt with all the trivial matters, and by the way, he inspected the construction site of the biogas digester, and felt that the progress was not bad, so he left satisfied. If you are idle, you naturally want to go to Xiaobai, this guy only knows to be his soil emperor in that wolf's den every day, and he doesn't know how to come to him after not seeing each other for more than ten days.

Tang Ming, who was already accustomed to having Xiaobai by his side, suddenly felt quite worried after not seeing him for a few days. Knowing that Xiaobai could be regarded as an invincible existence on this island, no other animal could threaten it, but although Tang Ming knew this, he still couldn't let go.

The area where Xiaobai and the wolves were active had been designated as a protected area by Tang Ming, and it was miles away from where he mined the stones. Tang Ming rode on the horse prepared for him by the guards, took only two people and hurriedly headed towards Xiaobai's wolf's den.

At the foot of the mountain, follow a path trodden by animals, with a burly mountain on one side and a vast plain on the other. The green grass and the mountains full of big trees, such a pleasant scenery made Tang Ming very emotional.

Compared with the high-rise buildings that were full of later generations, this place was simply a paradise, and his own fiefdom was managed by himself, and Tang Ming was very worried that such a scenery would be destroyed because of the arrival of nearly 10,000 people.
