After a while, the island had changed a lot from before, and after a lot of work day and night, a small pier had been built, a large wooded area near the beach had been cleared, and a row of wooden houses of different functions had been erected.

At the same time, Duke Jackson, who has been mentioned many times, finally arrives on the island with a large fleet. The Duke of Jackson not only held a noble aristocratic title like a duke, but also served as the commander-in-chief of the British Empire's long-range armies, and was also the Secretary of State in the British Empire's cabinet.

Duke Jackson came this time, in addition to bringing a lot of supplies for life, but also brought a large number of tools and materials needed for the reclamation and construction of the island, although compared with modern tools are much behind, but also better than unarmed. At the same time, there are many technical experts and craftsmen on board to support our early construction of the island. But these are not the most important things, the most important are the one hundred and twenty slave servants and criminals, who are the main labor force in the construction of production behind us.

Duke Jackson is not very old, almost forty years old, tall and strong, majestic and extraordinary, his beard is full of male hormones, and he is also a bearded pirate with a beard, and he is immediately dwarfed by it, to tell the truth, if it weren't for the fact that I also have unparalleled wisdom and good looks, and I am a man, I may also be drunk and dreamed of by such a middle-aged uncle.

Duke Jackson learned about the situation of the entire island from James in detail, and chatted with our so-called island natives, and had a general plan for the later stage of the island.

Duke Jackson told us that there was more than one island in the area where we were, and that there were three smaller islands in addition to the main island we were on, as we had known about this before. This island group is located in the south-central Anglo Ocean, not close to the western large island group in the west and the eastern large island group in the east, it can be said that the geographical location is a relatively remote island group, such a geographical location will naturally bring considerable challenges to future business and trade, but on the contrary, it is a natural transit station between the two large island groups, in short, the advantages and disadvantages are half.

Duke Jackson also told us that because this group of islands is close to the Antarctic Islands in the south, although the Antarctic Islands have a cold climate and are uninhabited, they have a lot of precious polar fish resources, so the Empire hopes to build this archipelago into a transit station for eastward colonization and expansion, and also build a natural center for scientific research in the Antarctic Islands.

Of course, because this island is now almost in a primitive and wild state, it is not a matter of one or two days to build the ideal state, and at the same time, a lot of human and material resources must be used, so it is necessary to have a strong island cabinet government for scientific planning and deployment.

As soon as he talked about this, James immediately became energetic, and took the initiative to express to Duke Jackson that he was willing to let go of all the fame and fortune he had gained, and devote himself to the great cause of reclamation and construction of the island with enthusiasm, and was willing to use his youth and sweat to irrigate this land that had just embraced the arms of the imperial mother.

James said impassioned spitting stars flying all over the sky, and at the same time kept signaling me to find an opportunity to praise him, Duke Jackson is probably embarrassed to discourage James's enthusiasm, coupled with the big bear and others all kinds of fancy praise for James, and finally nodded and agreed to James's request.

Duke Jackson said to us, "Since we have unanimously elected Lieutenant James as governor of the island, I am naturally okay with that. Next, according to the laws and conventions of the Empire, you island natives are also eligible to nominate two people as the new island cabinet members, and at the same time, I will also leave a number of officials with the ship as a supplement to the island cabinet, and the expeditionary force will also leave a hundred people to be responsible for the military defense of the island. ”

When it was the turn to nominate cabinet members, the man with glasses stood up first, and the meaning of everyone on our side was naturally to nominate me, but I didn't expect James to immediately disagree, and his reason turned out to be that my body was too weak.

Nima's, what it is like for a man to be told by another man that his body is weak, and the picture that can be conjured up is really unsightly.

James said to Jackson: "Han Dong's waist was seriously injured before we came to the island, and his arm was also seriously injured some time ago, whether he can fully recover in the future is a question, the early construction of the island requires a lot of energy and physical strength, and his body may not be able to withstand such a large work intensity." ”

Duke Jackson thought about it and finally really agreed with James's idea, and appointed Uncle Song as a member of the island cabinet, although Uncle Song was 10,000 unwilling, but he didn't dare to directly confront the duke's order, so he had to agree hard.

I looked at James's expressionless face, and I had already greeted the eighteenth generation of his ancestors in my heart. He was the one who asked me to cooperate with him before, and now he is the one who crosses the river and demolishes the bridge, this grandson has thick eyebrows and big eyes, but he didn't expect that he is not a good bird. Although I have no interest in any cabinet members, I hate such shameless behavior.

When the meeting was over, Big Bear immediately came to me and said, "I didn't expect Comrade James to be a cunning fox, and he slapped his ass in vain." ”

I said disapprerovingly, "Eat a trench and grow wise, and be more careful when dealing with this grandson in the future." But whether it's me or Uncle Song on our side, everyone is our own person. ”

"Hmph." Then Grace suddenly walked over and said to me in a mocking tone, "I thought you were very smart, but I didn't expect you to be so easy to deceive." Sigmund Freud has told you about James's relationship with me, and you still naively want to cooperate with him, are you not confident in my charm, or are you overconfident in your own vision? ”

In the evening, Duke Jackson feasted all the new cabinet members on his flagship, while we, the remaining ordinary citizens, had to settle dinner at the camp on our own.

Originally, Grace let me continue to live on the boat, but I thought about how insecure it was to live with these blonde grandsons, and even if I didn't want my arm, I would go back to camp and live with my warblers.

After dinner, Lin Ruyi suddenly quietly pulled me aside, and then mysteriously took out a fist-sized potato from his pocket and handed it to me.

Potato? What does that mean? I looked at Lin Ruyi with a confused expression, and this girl pursed her lips and looked at me with a smile, which made me even more unable to guess her intentions.

"It's our own potatoes." Lin Ruyi said word by word.

"Grow your own?" I looked at Lin Ruyi in disbelief and asked, "You mean your father's seed is successful?" ”

"Hmm!" Lin Ruyi nodded, "That batch of seeds has successfully grown fruits, and we can sow grain by ourselves in the future." ”

This news makes me very excited, this kind of magical seed not to mention the world in front of us, even if it returns to our previous civilization, it can be regarded as a black technology-like advanced existence, ultra-short growth cycle, super adaptability, even if we don't do anything in the future, we can make a fortune just by selling crops.

But this must not let James's grandson know, I don't believe him now, I said to Lin Ruyi, "Don't make a noise for the time being, if someone asks, they will say that this batch of crops is grown by themselves, anyway, even if they are killed, they can't mention the seeds." ”

Lin Ruyi nodded, "Well, I'll listen to you." ”

I don't know which shameless little angel pushed me behind my back out of nowhere, and I suddenly reached out and touched Lin Ruyi's head, Lin Ruyi blushed at a loss, and then ran away with a sigh.
