Chapter 109: Building a Village
This trip to Donghai Village made Yu Xiaotian make a lot of money again, and copied back a large number of goods from Zhou Cheng's old nest, including more than 2,000 taels of yellow and white things alone, including about 100 taels of gold, nearly 2,000 taels of silver, and a lot of precious silk and satin and exquisite porcelain and lacquerware, once shot, they are all worth a lot.
In addition to these physical objects, they also seized more than a dozen meat tickets in a cellar behind the ancestral hall, and this time they were also loaded and brought back by the way, and they also arrested eleven of Zhou Cheng's subordinates, and none of them were tied back.
After returning to Treasure Island, Yu Xiaotian saw that Liu Laoliu, Zhao Mazi and others had already taken the people left behind on the island to start tidying up their station, and those burned houses had been demolished and were being cleaned up.
After seeing Yu Xiaotian return safely with the boat, everyone was excited again, and it took a lot of tossing before the full ship of goods was unloaded onto the shore and counted into the warehouse.
As for the meat tickets that were tied up by Zhou Cheng, Yu Xiaotian arranged them in a corner of Treasure Island to be guarded alone, and after the rest of the captives were screened, on the way back, Yu Xiaotian rescued two of the evil guys under the identification of Meng Fei, and after chopping them with a knife, they threw their bodies into the sea to feed the fish, and the remaining nine minions all descended to Yu Xiaotian without saying a word, and after Yu Xiaotian came back, they were also sent to the island next to them for isolation and training.
After this experience, Yu Xiaotian no longer dared to ignore the defense of Treasure Island, if they went out hunting again in the future, once the lair was raided again, then all the previous efforts would be in vain.
So after coming back this time, Yu Xiaotian stopped thinking about going to sea for a safari for the time being, and began to concentrate on thinking about setting up a village on Treasure Island.
Erecting a stockade on the island is much more important than building a village, and many factors must be taken into account, in addition to the establishment of perfect living facilities in the village, the problem of defense and the problem of the dock to go to sea must also be taken into account.
In this regard, Yu Xiaotian once again carefully inspected the small Treasure Island, and finally decided to build their stockade on the basis of their existing dwellings, and extend outward until the small bay in the northeast, and build a trestle bridge deep into the bay, which is directly connected to the village.
Fortunately, although Treasure Island is small, it has an abundant source of fresh water, and underground springs continue to gush out of the rock crevices, providing an ample supply of fresh water to the people on the island.
And the northeast side of Treasure Island, by their reluctance, is a natural depression into the island, although it is not a natural harbor, but in the event of a typhoon, it is also a good shelter, just as their wharf use.
All this can basically meet their needs for building a village, as long as the planning is better, there is no problem in building a small village that can not only meet the needs of life, but also have a certain degree of defense function.
So Yu Xiaotian found a pen and paper, personally drew a plan of the village with a knife, and made a detailed plan for the future of the village, the village he planned, although it is not big, but it has all functions, the living area and the warehouse are separated, and in the village, there are also two roads and a gate and a water gate, and the arrow tower and the lighthouse of the guards are also planned.
Don't look at Yu Xiaotian is not learning this, but for planning a small village, it is difficult for him, and in one day, the planning map of a water village jumped on the paper and presented it in front of everyone.
The biggest problem is that the materials on Treasure Island are limited, and the manpower is also very limited, even if the village is not large, it is not easy to build it in a short time.
Yu Xiaotian then took stock of what they had on hand, and now he already had more than seventy people under his command, and there were also a small number of women, with a population of less than eighty.
And they now have four boats, in addition to the bird boat they originally used for safari, this time they also captured a sand boat, and also took Zhou Cheng a broken bird boat, plus the earliest broken fishing boat in Xiaohuangdao, their boats have a lot, but there is only one that can really be used, the bird boat that was taken from Zhou Cheng, after completing this trip to sea and coming back, without a major repair, it is not dared to use it again.
For the time being, he can solve the problem of manpower by himself, but the material problem of Treasure Island is not easy to solve for a while, and the boatload of wood they robbed this time is some precious wood, if it is used as a village, to build a walled house or a trestle bridge, it is really a pity.
Although there are a lot of stones on the island, if they want to use stone as the material for building the village, they only have one craftsman who can mine the stone, but they lack tools and it will take a long time, so in a short time, they still have to use wood as the main material for building the village.
After thinking about it, Yu Xiaotian decided to send Zhao Mazi to Dalian Island again, and handed over some of the timber they seized during this time, as well as the materials from Zhou Cheng's lair, to the Li family, and purchased a large number of cheaper timber from the Li family as materials for their village, and then purchased a batch of iron materials and woodworking tools.
Now that the horse's face is gone, only Yu Xiaotian has the final say here, when he makes a decision, he will naturally not be constrained anymore, Liu Laoliu, Zhao Mazi and others immediately agreed to his decision and began to act.
After learning that Yu Xiaotian was going to set up a village on Treasure Island, he actually took the initiative to help put forward some opinions, and let Yu Xiaotian plan a craftsman area for him in a corner of the village alone, as a future activity area for their craftsmen.
Yu Xiaotian came to the opinion of Zhang Blacksmith and agreed to it all, which made Zhang Blacksmith very satisfied, and felt that he was still quite respected here, so after he settled down, he took his adopted son, and Yu Xiaotian arranged two more for him to work as his apprentices and start work on the island.
Zhang's blacksmith skills were good, and it was a piece of cake for him to make some tools and nails, and it didn't take long for tools and various construction items such as iron nails to be created from his small blacksmith shop.
And this time they captured more than 20 of Zhou Cheng's subordinates, Liu Laoliu's opinion was to directly let them start working as helpers on the island, but after thinking about it for a while, Yu Xiaotian still categorically rejected their proposal, and ordered Han Xian and Luo Xianbin to continue to use the methods he had used to intensify the training of these guys, and at the same time shaved their heads and carried out "standard cleaning procedures"
So the guys who came before were happy, and now there were people with them, and there were not as many people on the island as they had bare heads, and when they didn't wear headscarves, at a glance, Treasure Island was almost like a monk's temple.
In Yu Xiaotian's view, although the matter of Lizhai is very urgent, but the importance can not go beyond the transformation of these newcomers, if the new recruits cannot be transformed, they will be put into use, it will become a hidden danger among them in the future, no matter how nervous, this process can not be saved, so he not only asked Han Xian and Luo Xianbin to strictly discipline these guys, but he himself also went to the isolation camp on the island every day to directly participate in the training of those guys.
As a result, after these Zhou Cheng's old subordinates arrived here, they were all turned on their backs and complained bitterly, but the advantage was that they quickly understood the rules of the sea wolf, and began to become much more honest and follow the rules.
After ten days of training, these guys also tried to resist, and two of them even tried to take advantage of the night to encourage others to rebel, followed them to rebel, killed Han Xian and Luo Xianbin, and then swam to Treasure Island to seize the boat and escape, only to be immediately told about their plan.
After Yu Xiaotian learned about it, he immediately ordered the two to be arrested, beheaded in public, and threw their bodies into the sea, which immediately shocked the remaining people with bad intentions and made them completely honest.
In the following month, Zhao Mazi took the flat-bottomed sand boat back and forth between Treasure Island and Dalian Island several times, and purchased a large amount of wood from the Li family, which finally met the needs of Yu Xiaotian Village.
Later, Yu Xiaotian also ended the isolation training of those Zhou Cheng's old departments, took them under his command, became a trainee of the sea wolf, and was assigned to the team.
During this time, Yu Xiaotian also took the time to screen more than a dozen male and female meat tickets brought back, several of which were young women, basically girls from civilian families that Zhou Cheng led people to snatch from the coastal area, when they were in Donghai Village, they were used as tools for their venting and desire, these young women, because their bodies were dirty, were ashamed to go home again, and even refused to report the location of their homes.
Yu Xiaotian learned from Liu Laoliu that once a woman like them is kidnapped and ruined by pirates, even if she is redeemed by her family in the future, she will be looked down upon by her fellow villagers, and it is difficult to get married, and even her family can't tolerate them, so they are often forced to go to a dead end, and their fate is very tragic.
So after Yu Xiaotian thought about it, after appeasing these women, he accepted these women, stayed on Treasure Island, and handed them over to Zhao Mazi's wife to manage, and promised to marry his subordinates as wives in the future, if he can gain a firm foothold on the sea, it will be a way out for these women in the future.
And after these women arrived at Treasure Island, they found that the sea wolves here were very well-behaved, unlike Zhou Cheng, who didn't treat them as human beings and spoiled them anytime and anywhere, so they gradually settled down, stayed on the island, and began to help the sea wolves do laundry and cooking, and do what they could.
