CHAPTER XIX. Back to Paradise (Part I)
In the lonely sea, a small island is entrenched on it, and where a series of splendid buildings rise from the ground, compared to the imperial cities of the four empires in the past, this small island is the "Gray Fog Island", that is, the "pirate paradise" in people's mouths.

At this time, the "Gray Fog Island" has expanded nearly ten times more than when Lin Hao first arrived here, making it impossible to imagine how all this was done.
In fact, no matter how strong Lin Hao's strength is, he can't expand the area of the island against common sense, but with the rapid development of the "Gray Fog Island", more and more people are flocking to the island, even if he begins to order his subordinates to cut down all the trees on the island, but it can only solve the urgent need for a while, as the name of "Pirate Paradise" becomes more and more famous, consortiums, refugees, mercenaries, nobles, pirates, ...... All sorts of people flocked to it.
Even with systematic planning, houses that are much taller than the current era are being built quickly, but they are still a little stretched.
It is naturally impossible to find a bigger island as a base again, this small island does not know how much hard work Lin Hao has condensed, and it is absolutely impossible to make him give up.
Lin Hao has not moved the idea of reclamation from the sea, but in the context of this era, if the project cost is not large, it is not impossible to rely on the manpower and material resources under his hands, but if you want to expand it on a large scale, it is not possible.
But fortunately, Lin Hao still has a system that can directly use the building points to change the appearance of the island, of course, the building points he paid for this are naturally an astronomical amount, but compared with the current development of the "Gray Fog Island", it is not worth mentioning at all.
Five years ago, this humble island was less than 500 people, including all the sailors, slaves, and civilians under Lin Hao, but at this time, the population of this island has exceeded 500,000, more than the population of any city in the world.
Among them, the small number but the most important are naturally the major business groups, which can be said to be the most important bridge between the "Gray Kirishim" and the outside world.
As a result of the chaos on the mainland, the people are struggling to make a living, and business is naturally becoming more and more difficult, so for these caravans, they urgently need a stable place to continue to develop and trade, and there is no doubt that the islands on the sea far from the strife are naturally their best choice.
In fact, the caravans on the island not only have these human forces from the major empires and other similar Sin City, but also other races, such as dwarves, barbarian races, etc., these chaotic and orderly caravans are constantly transporting batches of goods here, and at the same time constantly transporting the items they need, Lin Hao's island is like a transit station, although it is not very important, but without it, all transactions cannot be carried out.
In addition to the caravan, there are also some drunken nobles or some wealthy merchants, they are very happy to settle here, after all, if they continue to stay on the mainland, the wealth they have accumulated will soon be destroyed by war, and they are naturally willing to move here if they have a place to hide from the war. In order to attract these people, Lin Hao also specially built a lot of residences for people to enjoy, after all, most of the gold coins they spent because of these would eventually flow into his pocket, so why didn't he do it?
Of course, the largest number of people on the island are naturally the refugees. The mainland is in turmoil, the smoke is everywhere, the forces of one side are reshuffled, bloody wars will happen almost every day, countless soldiers will fall, mountains and rivers will be broken, and the old country is only in a dream.
But in any case, the war is naturally the most bitter people, and the lives of those at the top will naturally not change much because of the war, as for the next nobles and wealthy merchants, they have found a way out for themselves as early as the first time, or migrate, or hug a certain thigh, life is difficult, but it is much better than the lowest people.
The war has destroyed people's homes, and they have been displaced as a result, and they can only wander around like lonely ghosts, struggling to survive every day.
However, this sudden, war that swept the entire continent without a hint made Lin Hao see a glimmer of opportunity, a glimmer of opportunity for rapid development.
Population is undoubtedly the foundation for a force to develop and grow, and this is what Lin Hao lacks the most, but the turmoil in the mainland has given him such an opportunity. So he began to use all the manpower and material resources he could use to continuously recruit refugees from the mainland, and then transported them to the "Gray Fog Island" by ship again and again, because of various reasons, there were not a few refugees who died in the middle of the way, Rao is so, in the past five years, nearly 400,000 refugees have been transported to the sea.
These refugees who survived the war naturally have special respect for Lin Hao, the lord who saved them from dire straits, and people will always pray to some unrealistic gods when they are desperate, and for these refugees, Lin Hao is already a god in a sense, and it is the supreme belief in their hearts. It is for this reason that these refugees quickly integrated into the life of the island, and then began to serve him tirelessly.
In fact, it is precisely because of the influx of a large number of refugees that the construction speed of Gray Kirishima will be so fast, and with so much manpower, material resources and wealth, coupled with the assistance of the system, Gray Kirishima will be completely new in just five years.
When the "Pirate Paradise" first began to develop, Lin Hao naturally took advantage of the rapid development of the reputation of the super pirate group of the "Beast Pirate Group", which was regarded as pulling the skin of the tiger, but later, it was completely unnecessary, and the "Pirate Paradise" at this time had grown into a huge force that was not inferior to the four top pirate groups, and countless people's interest entanglements, joys and sorrows, and deceit were all presented on this island one by one.
Of course, in addition to these people, there are other people, such as spies and spies of other forces, spies, etc., but as long as these people do not violate the rules on the island, Lin Hao is too lazy to find out one by one, after all, there are too many such people, and if you kill this group, the next group of people will soon enter, so as long as it does not involve his established interests, he will also be able to go to the other party, but if someone dares to make a small calculation on his territory, then no matter who it is, Lin Hao will also give the other party's outstretched hand...... Slash!
