When someone left Haomait Suke in a gray manner, Father Xu came to Hangzhou Port in high spirits.

"Yo! Boss Xu... Uh, Mr. Xu, where are you going? ”

Father Xu was in a happy mood, and it seemed that there was one word missing from his title, but his status had increased too much. But Daddy Xu still pretended to be very angry: "Oh, it's Boss Chen." Ay! My family's evil obstacle made a town guard, but he ran to help the city-state alliance fight, saying that he wanted to mix up with the general, bullshit! How is it so simple to be promoted from colonel to brigadier general?! There are still two months to be nineteen, and he is so ambitious at a young age, which is insulting! No, the unfilial son left the town guard mansion to take care of me, and the first wave of the fleet is back today, so I'll come over and see how it goes. ”

it! There are so many slots in this sentence that I don't know where to spit it out for a while, it doesn't matter, one by one.

Your family's name is evil, and before the age of nineteen, you got mixed up with the town guard mansion and colonel. Shouldn't my son be re-ejaculated and re-engineered?!

You Xu Pixiu only swallows but doesn't spit out, doesn't pull out a hair, and has an egg's door style?

Your son is not filial, hurry up and strangle and clean up the portal! If you can't do it, I'll help you, so you don't have to show off in the circle of friends every day. I've listened to you for half a year, and I've been disgusted eight times. I didn't like that grandson a long time ago, if you don't have that grandson, can you be so crazy? A year ago, you had to call me 'Old Chen'!

Father Xu's son, after a wave of hatred, came to the Xu family's exclusive dock and stepped on his own transport ship.

An old servant with gray hair hurriedly ran over and rolled to his feet: "Master, the old slave is guilty!" ”

Father Xu was shocked: "Aren't the saplings planted?" ”

"It's not a sapling, it's a person, three thousand, three months, more than two hundred dead! They're all great guys. ”

"Huh? Someone invaded? Has the matter been revealed? ”

"Neither!"

it! Dog minion! Lao Tzu almost carried it. Father Xu raised his big foot and kicked the old servant on the heels: "Tell me more!" How did he die? Aren't all Chinese medicine and Western medicine ready for you? ”

"It's a snake and scorpion, sir! The place was full of forests, and I found a hidden place in the north island and opened a piece of land in the north island, and guarded the saplings day and night. But who knew that at night, snakes and scorpions were everywhere, and they crawled directly on people's bodies. There are swamps everywhere, and people can't pull up when they step on puddles. There is also a poisonous miasma, as soon as the sun steam at noon, people in the forest will have purple skin and swelling for some reason, and it is useless to scratch the throat, and it will be hopeless after a while. ”

At this time, Daddy Xu's brows tightened even more: "Didn't you invite three tropical jungle experts from the Zheng family?" Didn't they teach you what to do? ”

"Teach, but the master commanded, the saplings are top secret, I only dare to let them follow them to the South Island to explore the terrain, and the North Island is all groped by ourselves, and no one has told us."

Daddy Xu actually doesn't care how many people die, in the eyes of businessmen, human life is just a loss of money, as long as the money can solve the problem, it is not a matter at all. Hearing the terrain exploration, he suddenly came to his senses, and this is the key.

"Get up and talk, how is the terrain surveying?"

"Great joy! Master! The old servant grinned and opened his big mouth with three missing front teeth: "The topographic map given by the Zheng family before was very sloppy, and they only saw one river on the big island in the south, and we have tried our best to trample on all the two islands in the past three months. A river was found on the island of Little Nicobar to the north. The island of Great Nicobar in the south is even more remarkable, the largest river has four tributaries, the one with the largest flow to the south, that is, the one that the Zheng family found before, and one to the east and two to the west, which just covers the entire island. We found another river on the north side of the island. ”

On an island surrounded by the sea, the presence of a freshwater river means that it is suitable for large-scale human habitation. For Orientals, it means being able to multiply and prolong. Therefore, the value of an island with or without a river varies greatly.

The businessman is more suspicious: "How come? Although the Zheng family doesn't care too much about these two islands, the river always flows to the sea, and it doesn't matter how many outlets to the sea? ”

The old servant continued: "Master Mingjian, these rivers are not visible on weekdays, and the surface is a swamp, and only when it rains can we see the direction of the flow. It is not yet formed, and it needs to be drained and repaired. ”

Isn't it just draining and repairing embankments! This our ancestors are good at, which of the paddy fields in the south of the Yangtze River was not a depression. Isn't it now a land of fish and rice?

So Daddy Xu waved his hand: "Repair!" Hurry up and drain the waterlogging, the woods must be cut down at the same time according to the drawings given to you, the north island will be released first, and the southern half of the south island must be all felled, don't delay us to build roads and ports. ”

The old servant opened his mouth, and stopped talking, Daddy Xu's eyes signaled, and he simply let go of his complaints: "According to the old slave's investigation, it takes a lot of effort to drain the water and improve the river, the area of the North Island is small, not to mention, on the South Island, the young master also requires that the trees in the northern half not be destroyed." Sir, you don't know how difficult it is there, it's all forests, and the forests are full of vines, and you have to cut them all the way with a knife, and you can only walk ten meters in an hour. I didn't walk for three days, and I couldn't find the road again. ”

"Lao Lu, you don't need to tell me these difficulties, you are the old man of our Xu family, my grandfather's generation, you will preside over the cultivation of land for our family, and when it comes to the ability in the field, no one in the Xu family can compare to you. In my generation, I don't know anything about the fields, let alone my evil animals, who else can you believe if you don't believe me? Just say what you ask, I'll just look at the results. ”

"Thank you, sir, for your trust. According to your request, if you want to cut down half of the trees in the South Island within half a year, you will need to complete the drainage of two rivers and repair the embankments. There are no stones or food over there, everything has to be transported from the mainland, and without 20,000 people, I dare not guarantee it. ”

"Go back and look for the housekeeper Xu Cai, how many people you need to recruit, you look at the idea."

Xu Lu looked left and right, and attached his ear to Father Xu's side: "Master, it is estimated that many people will die next, the ...... of the villagers in this township"

"Idiot! My head is full of mud! Won't you go to the Zheng family to buy Luzon monkeys? There is also the Fang family to buy Japanese slaves, how much money can these people want? I went to buy 50,000 yuan, and I pulled it all to the island, and I stepped on it with my feet. These people can just give a bowl of rice to eat, and they don't have to pay wages, and after the development of the South Island is completed, they can directly pull it to the North Island and clean up the North Island to plant trees. It's almost time to clean up...... Aha...... Well?! ”

Father Xu's face was fierce, and his hand was knife-like, which made Xu Lu tremble.

In fact, he can't be blamed for this, the policy of the Eastern Empire has always been like this. Japanese, Luzon, Borneo...... The status in the laws of the empire was not even as good as that of cattle. Moreover, these places all belong to the four major families, and the Admiralty has no control. Compared with these lazy and often chaotic natives, the four major families prefer their own population, honest, hardworking, and easy to manage.

Therefore, the four major naval families openly and secretly supported the slave trade, and over time, the people of these regions also became two-legged animals in the concept of the Eastern Empire.
