Chapter 35 The Human Dilemma
Although most of the people threw themselves into the arms of the sea wolf without hesitation in order to survive, but in the end, there were still three people who stayed in place and did not go to the beach. ”
One of them looked at the black head and nodded silently, and the other two also looked at the person in the lead with a resolute expression, and nodded together.
The blackhead was a little strange, and turned to the captives who had already declared that they wanted to join them and asked, "What are these three guys doing?" Do any of you know them? ”
"Back to this uncle, they are not simple! The person standing in the middle is Chen Jiu's own brother Chen Qian! It used to be our second master! The other two are his cronies, and they won't come to you! Someone immediately revealed the identities of the three men.
The black head was immediately happy when he heard it, and he quickly sent someone back to the boat and reported the news to Yu Xiaotian, and after a while, Yu Xiaotian sent Liu Wang over, and after whispering a few times to the black head, the black head immediately waved his hand, and several of his subordinates rushed over, holding down Chen Qian and his two cronies and tying them up, no matter how they struggled and resisted, dragged them to the small boat, and sent them to Yu Xiaotian's boat.
After the two or three hundred captives arrived at Nanri Island, they were re-selected and registered, and each of them first reported their names and places of origin, as well as what they had done under the mixed river dragon before, and then asked them to verify each other, and some of the leaders and Chen Jiu's cronies were screened out.
There were no human rights as prisoners, and when they arrived on Nanri Island, they were held in a former training camp, which is now also known as a quarantine camp.
When all the captives arrived, they were put in a wooden shackle, stripped naked, and driven into several fences like cattle, so that they could not move, and had to be allowed to go up by some men with sharp razors, and without saying a word, their heads were shaved naked.
Then the shaved men were driven into a fence, and each was given a bucket of water to the sink, and a soap horn, a loofah or bristle brush, and the two of them worked together to clean it from head to toe with a soap horn and a bristle brush or a loofah.
This process frightened many of the descendants, and they wanted to protect the hair on their heads, but they couldn't help it, and they could only be shaved into bald heads in horror, and then brushed like bare pigs.
At this time, each of them was given a simple large trouser so that they could cover their shame, and they were given a small gown to shield them from the blazing sun.
The captives had no personal belongings, and when they were captured, all the things that should have been seized had already been looted.
So basically, there is no need to register any personal belongings for them, and everyone is given a small brush with a short handle when they are given a small gown and big pants.
This made these people even more unaware of how to use this small brush, and later after someone showed them the purpose of the small brush, they learned that this thing was a toothbrush used to make them brush their teeth.
Yu Xiaotian came to this era for a long time without a toothbrush, can only make do with a little salt foam to wipe his teeth with his fingers, and later in Treasure Island, Yu Xiaotian specially ordered a batch of bristle toothbrushes on land, which solved the problem of brushing teeth, but the toothpaste does not have to think about it for the time being, he doesn't know how to produce it, so he can only use salt foam instead.
Nowadays, all the people of the sea wolf tribe are required to use this toothbrush, and they must brush their teeth once a day in the morning and evening to ensure the oral hygiene of these guys.
At first, some people were not accustomed to this way of life, and felt that this big boss even had to take care of his teeth, which was too wide, but gradually people found that brushing their teeth was still beneficial, and they became accustomed to this kind of life, so that brushing their teeth has become a necessary thing in housekeeping, so these new arrivals are naturally not exempt from vulgarity, and are ordered to brush their teeth twice a day with this toothbrush.
Of course, as the treatment enjoyed by the descendants, naturally it cannot be compared with the sea wolf tribes, at the beginning, the quality of their food was not good, there were only two meals a day, one dry and one thin, and there was no meat supply, mainly just some shredded potato rice or dried vegetables brown rice.
But for a group of guys who have been hungry for more than 20 days, this kind of food is still better than when they were on a desert island, don't look at two meals a day, but they can basically manage their fill, so that they don't worry about hunger every day.
After the gang was forced to complete the so-called clean-up, they were quarantined for about ten days, and some sick people were isolated from the gang, and the Sea Wolf Gang also sent a Lang Zhong to conduct a so-called physical examination for these people, and the sick people also received a certain degree of treatment.
After the expiration of the tenth day of quarantine, under the instruction of Xiaotian, the gang did not train immediately, but were pulled to work as laborers, helping to build a pier and trestle on Nanri Island, and the daily food was also improved to three times, and a certain amount of salted fish or salted whale meat was added to a meal every three days to ensure their physical strength.
Doing such hard work, although these people are a little reluctant, but now they send people under the fence, in order to survive, they can only look at the faces of the sea wolf tribes, and honestly go out to work on time, during which some people are impatient to be driven to do this kind of thing, and some guys take the opportunity to make trouble and escape from Nanri Island, but the fate of these people is very tragic, Yu Xiaotian's wrist is now much tougher than before, and he mercilessly pulled out some of the people who tried to make trouble, and cut off their heads on the spot, Hanging high above the gate of the quarantine camp, it was easy to keep the rest of the guys at bay.
With the addition of these free laborers, the labor force on Nanri Island has also been relieved, and some tasks that could not be carried out due to lack of manpower have been able to move forward at this time.
At this time, Yu Xiaotian was finally able to take a breather, and instead handed over the training of the troops to Wang Hong and others, while he turned his main energy to the construction of Nanri Island.
Nanri Island covers an area of dozens of square kilometers, and there is relatively sufficient land for Yu Xiaotian to toss, before that, Yu Xiaotian has actually conducted a comprehensive survey of Nanri Island, selected a batch of land that can be cultivated, and handed it over to idle people and others to be responsible for clearing and cultivating.
Although the land on Nanri Island is not very suitable for farming, Yu Xiaotian still requires that a large amount of land must be cultivated and cultivated, so that a lot of wasteland on the island has gradually been reclaimed into farmland.
While planning the land, Yu Xiaotian also set aside enough space for commercial development, and at the same time, relying on the Dazhai of Nanri Island, in the south of Dazhai, a large piece of land is planned to be used as a workshop on Nanri Island in the future.
In addition, he also carved out a place on the original site of the boathouse opened by the Nanri Island Shark Gang to restore the shipyard, which will be used as a shipbuilding and ship repair place for the Seawolf Gang in the future, and avoid letting the Seawolf's ships go to the land to find a shipyard to repair the ship, so as to reduce a lot of unnecessary expenses, but also ensure their needs and meet the needs of logistics.
Shortly after the end of the Battle of Dongqi Island, Yu Xiaotian began to implement his original plan, and began to issue a pass flag to some merchant ships on Nanri Island, and all ships that frequently traveled to and from the coast of Fuzhou only needed to pay a certain amount of silver taels to the sea wolf to receive a different color order flag.
All ships holding such a command flag in the coastal area of Fuzhou, from Pinghai Bay in the south to the Huangqi Peninsula in the north, only need to display this command flag to be exempted, and they will not be hijacked by the people of the Sea Wolf Gang, including their counterparts in the coastal area of Fuzhou, and they will no longer use force against them, which can basically ensure their safety during this voyage.
This is perennial to the coastal area of Fuzhou for the merchant ships, it is equivalent to giving them a security guarantee, paying money can basically ensure their safety, but some people are lucky, do not want to pay money, then they can only ask for more blessings, once the sea wolf gang or the pirates in the Fuzhou area encounter, will never let them go, when the time not only the goods on the ship do not have to be considered, if the ship is taken by the pirates, it will also be finished.
In this way, Yu Xiaotian is also equivalent to establishing an order in the coastal area of Fuzhou, where he has the final say, and the next step is to see if these maritime merchants can honestly act according to his ideas.
For the matter of collecting tolls, Yu Xiaotian temporarily handed it over to Zhao Mazi to manage, and the specific affairs were temporarily subordinate to the council hall, but the tolls collected were listed separately by Yu Xiaotian as a fund reserve for his next implementation of new projects.
After this battle, the sea wolf made a lot of profits, both openly and secretly, which made Yu Xiaotian's pocket full again, which also made him finally able to do something he wanted to do for a long time.
Within two days of Xiaotian leading his troops back to Nanri Island, he recruited the shipwright Guo Fu to his council room, and after some discussion, at Guo Fu's request, Yu Xiaotian personally wrote a list.
This list includes two parts, one part is a matter of manpower, the restoration of the shipyard on Nanri Island, which is a considerable project, not only to re-dredge the two docks, but also to rebuild the dock door, but also to lay various slipways and repair drainage facilities, after Guo Fu's conservative estimate, at least hundreds of strong laborers are needed to meet such a workload.
In terms of manpower, although Yu Xiaotian now has two or three hundred prisoners under Chen Jiu available for use, Yu Xiaotian has now invested all of these people in the construction of the trestle wharf, and after the trestle and wharf project is completed, Yu Xiaotian does not plan to let these captives be used as laborers.
Among these people, after all, a considerable number of people have been at sea for a long time, and with a little training, they are good seamen and sailors, and it can be said that it is a waste to let them do such rough work on the island.
In this way, only some of the eliminated people in this group of people can be sent to repair the shipyard, but there is still not enough manpower, and the matter of the shipyard is not waiting for me, and it is also a very anxious thing, and it is not possible to wait.
(From now on, two shifts per day will be resumed!) Never break your word! Yesterday I felt like I was trampled by a herd, and I felt all kinds of pain all over my body, I don't know what was going on, but I found out last night that I had an inexplicable fever! Ran in the middle of the night and hung up a bottle of water! Today's dizzy codeword, the idea feels a little incoherent! Dizzy! Sorry! )
