In fact, when he decided to build a city-level starship as his god's domain, Li Anran once moved to transform the entire Liuqiu Island, or part of it, directly into a starship. Unfortunately, this idea was not approved by Cortana.

According to the other side, the amount of work to transform an island into a starship is too much. Don't look at the fact that there are ready-made soil and mountains on the island, and at the same time, the spaceship also has energy shields and force field shields, but it will still be quite troublesome to transform.

Not to mention, just the unavoidable vibration of such a large city-class starship when it rises from the sea can easily cause the rock to crack. Unless the Liuqiu Island or local area is lifted into the air first, and then it is modified.

However, unless the island is suspended in the air or in space, once it enters the state of flight, especially the vibration generated by the process of flying into space beyond the limits of the earth's gravity, it will still have a great impact on the entire island.

To avoid this problem, all the mountains and internal structures must be reinforced and modified accordingly. In this way, both in terms of cost and safety, it is far less advantageous than the city-class starship of the Divine Domain, which was designed later.

As for the greenery, although it is not possible to place it directly on the surface of a starship like a levitating island, it can be placed in an area such as a park or green belt inside. While beautifying the environment, it can also play the role of a life-sustaining system.

Since deciding to occupy the island of Liuqiu as the location of his shrine, for the aborigines of the island. At the beginning, Li Anran adhered to the attitude of staying if he was willing to stay, and sending away all the money if he was unwilling to stay.

Anyway, there were not many people on Liuqiu Island in the early days of the Tang Dynasty, even if no one was willing to stay and "work" for themselves, but they had to spend money to send them away, which was not a problem for Li Anran, who was rich and rivaled.

But in the process, it is not without resistance. For example, some people are reluctant to leave their hometown where they have lived for a long time, and some people want to take the opportunity to make more benefits, etc. However, this does not affect the development of the whole thing in the slightest.

For those who just don't want to leave their hometowns, Li Anran has made arrangements. Since you don't want to go. Then stay and do your job. Although it will be subject to control in the future. But the living conditions will definitely be much, much better than before.

For the guys who want to take the opportunity to get more benefits, Li Anran didn't do anything ruthless. Didn't you want to reap more benefits, no problem, they were all sent to Tachibana's house for "transformation". As long as you are willing to work hard, you can always get more benefits on the battlefield.

As for those who simply don't want their original power and interests to be damaged. Iron-hearted to resist. Even in private, the guys who wanted to make trouble everywhere disappeared without a trace, and no one was seen alive or dead. No one knows where they went.

I didn't even ask for it for a month, and with the help of low-earth orbit satellites, the entire aborigines of Liuqiu Island were cleaned up. Even those so-called hermit masters who hid in the deep mountains and old forests for various reasons have been "dug up".

After the entire Liuqiu Island was incorporated into his own hands, Li Anran abolished the original administrative system as soon as possible, and then sent people to manage the people left on the island, while arranging various high-tech equipment to transform the Liuqiu Island.

Although he failed to transform Liuqiu Island into a starship, and the God of War Palace only took up part of the jade mountain and the surrounding mountains on the island, which was nothing compared to the area of the entire Liuqiu Island, Li Anran had already regarded this place as his private territory.

It's just that Liuqiu Island, which is surrounded by the sea, is very close to Quanzhou, Fuzhou, Zhangzhou and Chaozhou in the Tang Dynasty. In addition to winter, it is not uncommon to see ships and even fleets docked at the original docks for rest and trading in spring, summer and autumn.

For Liuqiu Island, Li Anran really didn't plan to completely close it. After all, Liuqiu Island has unique advantages in terms of maritime trade and military use. And it is so close to Datang, if it really gets to the point of "closing the country", although it can indeed be quiet, it wastes the value of Liuqiu Island.

Therefore, under Li Anran's arrangement, large ports were built in suitable areas on the four coastlines in the southeast and northwest of Liuqiu Island. At the same time, there are corresponding commercial areas, living areas, and port security brigades that are used to maintain law and order in peacetime and occasionally go to sea to fight pirates.

Don't look at the manpower of these four port security brigades, which are actually not much, and they are only a thousand people together, but they are quite well-equipped in terms of equipment, and they have received systematic training and training, so there is no problem at all in dealing with small-scale disturbances or even armed (riot) (chaos).

As for the problem of encountering a large-scale war, there is no need to worry about it at all. Not to mention the automatic turrets that lurk around the island's various coastal key locations, as well as the spherical drones that patrol the waters around Liuqiu Island on weekdays and have their own optical stealth functions. The Serpentine Mechs in the Sea alone were enough to kill the invading enemies before they could even get close to the island.

And the scale of these four ports is not small, enough to dock dozens of large merchant ships at the same time. Supporting loading and unloading equipment, means of transport, and sealed warehouses with their own refrigeration and freezing functions are enough to support a large number of maritime merchants to repair and trade in the port.

Although these four ports will tax maritime trade, and the tax is not low, it is really nothing in the eyes of those maritime merchants compared to the services and various policies provided, as well as the safety of the shipping routes.

Not to mention the port affairs authority, referred to as the port authority, will also publish a list of slaves, artisans, minerals and a series of useful resources for the island, such as slaves, craftsmen, minerals, etc., can enjoy low or even tax exemption.

As for the price of these resources, although it is not necessarily much higher than the market price, the good thing is that the port not only receives goods from the outside world, but also will send goods abroad. And the varieties shipped are also very much, from all kinds of luxury goods, down to the most common grains, sea salt, it can be said that there is everything.

The most important thing is that the selling price of these goods is at least 20% lower than the market price, so that as long as you get a boatload of goods that you need on the island and send them over, and then directly exchange the money you earn for the goods that are placed elsewhere and sell them back to sell them, the profit generated between this sale and purchase is also extremely considerable.

It was for this reason that when winter passed and spring came, and the maritime trade began to rejuvenate again after a whole winter of recuperation, news soon began to spread among the maritime merchants that there were four ports on the island and that there were many cheap goods to buy.

Since the port has been built, there is naturally no reason to give all the benefits to outsiders. To this end, Li Anran also transferred a few merchant ships from the Quanzhou shipyard, plus those ships made by using high-tech processing technology, to form three fleets at sea.

One fleet was responsible for the offshore trade between Quanzhou, Fuzhou, Zhangzhou and Chaozhou and Liuqiu Island, and the other was for the offshore trade along the Maritime Silk Road. As for the last ship, it is responsible for commercial dealings with various powerful forces on Fuso Island.

As for the Tachibana family, there is no need to arrange a special fleet, firstly, the other party also belongs to one of the powerful forces on Fuso Island, and secondly, it is because Zheng Chenggong actually got a position from his own family that was specifically responsible for offshore business with Fuso, Liuqiu, and the islands in the South China Sea after uniting the original Zheng family's fleet management.

As a result, the original plan to completely break away from the Zheng family was temporarily shelved. After all, the Zheng family has been in business for so many years, and the family foundation is not comparable to Zheng Chenggong's starting from scratch. Not to mention, there is no conflict between this position and Zheng Chenggong's real intentions, and if you don't take advantage of it, you won't be a fool.

It's just that Zheng Chenggong also knows that this appointment can come down so smoothly because of the mother who has always regarded herself as a thorn in her side. After sneering, he took this good opportunity to take his mother to Fusang to reunite with him under the pretext of missing his relatives.

Although such a reunion is only temporary in name, in fact, Zheng Chenggong has no intention of sending his mother back. (To be continued......)
