After this feast passed, although Tang Jie and the others delayed for a whole day, they sharpened their knives and cut wood. [Ran^Text^Library] []

When it was time to start work the next morning, the coolies of the Dada tribe were so energetic that they seemed to be eager to exert all their strength, and their dark skin was rolling with beads of sweat, and they shouted a low trumpet to unload the last boatload of stones.

Their bodies were bent into a bow by the weight of the stone, and each step made a wet footprint on the wooden planks of the dock, and the dock creaked.

Tang Jie watched from the sidelines, afraid that this temporary wharf would be crushed by these heavy stones.

It seems that the natural cave harbor on the south side of Alcatraz Island must be built as soon as possible into a permanent sheltered dock, a temporary dock that cannot be used for long, and the volume of cargo handled is too small to hide ships.

The natural cave on the south side of Alcatraz Island is a huge sheltered deep-water harbor, its highest point reaches more than 20 meters, and the width can accept two three-masted griffon-class warships side by side, although the width is not enough, but this stone cave is extremely deep, a 22-meter-long three-masted griffon-class battleship is connected from head to tail, and can accommodate five warships in a single row.

Moreover, the sea water in this port is extremely deep, Tang Jie once had the courage to dive down, and he has not dived to the end when he ran out of gas.

In the future, this port must be a hidden port capable of storing warships and handling goods, and a temporary wharf like the one on the west side of Alcatraz Island must only be a temporary transitional wharf because merchant ships cannot dock, the weight of the wharf is limited, the width is not enough, and the cargo throughput is too small.

The beach on the west side, whose existential value is more strategic than commercial, should exist as a main beach and main battery to lure the enemy into attacking.

Alcatraz Island is huge, and the roads are not smooth, and it takes half a day to hike from the beach on the west side to the huge cave on the south side.

By the time the last ship unloaded all its cargo, the women and children of the Dada tribe had already begun to clear the beaches of food and fresh water.

Under Simon's arrangement, Tang Jie's sailors began to cut trees and build their own houses not far from the west coast, while the women and children of the Damu tribe transported food and fresh water from the beach to a medium-sized stone cave near the Black Dragon King on the island and stored it.

The men of the Dada tribe began to slowly transport the mountains of wood and stone from the shore to the southern cave port to facilitate the construction of the port in the future.

After unloading the last shipload of goods, Simon arranged trivial personnel management, residence location, food distribution and other matters, he said hello to Tang Jie, and left Alcatraz Island with Nia, William, and Bill, and returned to Sisis to start a new round of supplies.

While Simon was away, Tang Jie took Lilith and some of his sailors, as well as the men of the Dada tribe, to work together to transfer the timber and stone from West Beach to South Harbor.

The construction of the port was a huge and arduous project, although Tang Jie wanted to build the hidden port on the south side of Alcatraz Island into a small haven first, and then expand it when he wanted to expand it in the future.

But in Tang Jie's plan, this is just a small safe haven, but in terms of the manpower and materials he has on hand, it is also difficult to reach the sky.

Not to mention, the transportation of goods alone is already an extremely huge project.

Even if Tang Jie walked from the west beach to the south harbor on weekdays, it would not take long, but when he began to carry those stones weighing dozens or hundreds of catties with the people of the Damu tribe, he knew that this distance was really an incomparably long distance, like the end of the world!

At the beginning, he relied on his strong body, divine strength, and fighting spirit, and carried a few hundred pounds of stones to lead the way step by step in front of him, only to see these black slaves of the Dada tribe stunned one by one, and turned over and prostrate on the ground, shouting loudly that the god of war Gru appeared.

At first, in front of hundreds of subordinates, let them bow to themselves in amazement, this feeling is certainly very refreshing.

But back and forth like this a few times, Tang Jie couldn't bear it. Tang Jie's current strength and ability to lift a thousand catties, but if he carries something weighing a thousand catties and walks a distance, it is two different things!

After a few trips, Tang Jie was sweating like rain, and his legs were trembling a little because of the loss of strength.

What's even more thrilling is that on his last trip, when he carried a stone weighing more than 300 catties and walked out of more than three miles, Tang Jie found that he had reached the limit and couldn't hold on anymore!

Fortunately, Tang Jie finally took a breath and flipped the stone from his back to the side of the road, otherwise, if he was crushed to death by this stone, it would be a big joke!

This time, after Tang Jie took a breath, he didn't dare to be reckless, and obediently took the men of the Dada tribe to carry or carry the stones step by step.

By the time they had been moving the supplies from West Beach to the south side of the harbor day and night, seven days had passed, and Simon had returned with the next round of supplies.

This time, Nia, William, and Bill commanded two escort warships, followed by a full ten medium-sized merchant ships in the middle, which startled Tang Jie.

When Nia's boat docked, the blonde woman jumped out of the boat, looked at the beach on the west side that had been swept away in surprise, and said to Tang Jie, who was also looking at her in surprise...... What about the piles of stuff?"

Tang Jie smiled: "You have been gone for so long, I still thought that you would not come back, so we all threw away our things!"

Nia knew that Tang Jie was joking, and a soft smile appeared in the corner of her eyes, giving him a look of disgust.

Tang Jie swept the cargo ships waiting to dock in the distance on the sea behind Nia with his eyes, and said, "Why are there so many merchant ships?"

Nia's face sank: "When we went back this time, the patrol force of the city defense army in Sisis was obviously strengthened, although they didn't search us everywhere openly, but I could feel that someone was secretly watching us. ”

Tang Jie's face froze, and he nodded slowly: "We made such a big noise at sea, and robbed a merchant ship a while ago, although we abandoned the ship when we arrived in Sisis." But this also tells the merchants who were robbed by us that we have been to the Siss, and it is normal to attract the attention of the Sises. But does it have anything to do with the ten cargo ships behind you? Why is the amount of cargo being replenished so staggeringly? Doesn't such a large-scale movement of materials attract the attention of anyone who cares?"

"Attention has been drawn, respected Captain Tang Jie!"

The obese Darius rolled down the board from the boat, wiping his sweat and taking Tang Jie's words with a wry smile.

Tang Jie's eyebrows tightened: "What's the matter? Why are you here?"

Darius, a timid businessman who is greedy for money, is most afraid of having a relationship with Tang Jie in the open, but now he has the audacity to come to Alcatraz Island with Nia, what does this mean?

Tang Jie can imagine it even with his toes, something must have happened!

Darius was like a ball of meat, when he rolled to Tang Jie's side, he was already out of breath, he took a few breaths, and said to Tang Jie: "Dear Captain Tang Jie, we have paid attention to the matter of buying supplies in Sisis and shipping them to sea. ”

Tang Jie pointed to the ten merchant ships behind him unhappily: "Nonsense, like you, even a blind person can see the clues, and even a fool can know that this matter is not normal!"

Darius shook his head with a wry smile: "No, from the first time we collected materials, we have already attracted attention. The grain, timber, stone, and all kinds of materials on the market have caused prices to rise to varying degrees after we have purchased them on a large scale, and some sensitive leaders of the Chamber of Commerce have come to visit me several times in the past few days since you left, and they have asked me why they are buying so many materials, where they are transported, and who bought them. ”

Tang Jie said in a deep voice: "Didn't I tell you? Just say that the people from the Kaman Chamber of Commerce bought these materials and wanted to transport them to the Falco Empire in the Western Continent. ”

Darius's smile became more and more bitter, and his face was like a bun that had been pinched countless times: "Of course I said so! But you must know that if someone really investigates, at most a month, they will be able to expose our lies, and when the time comes, what will happen again, maybe it will be said!"

Tang Jie closed his eyes and thought quietly for a while.

After Captain Barr died, Tang Jie became a figure on the top of the limelight, he learned to stand alone on the bow of the ship to face the wind, learned to carry the heaviest pressure alone, and learned to think independently.

He completed a process from immaturity to maturity.

"I know, just because you don't know what will happen in the future, and you have already attracted the attention of the other party anyway, so ......" Tang Jie looked at the merchant ships lined up not far away, "You simply bought a large amount of materials at one time, first, you are afraid that if you buy materials in the future, you will be controlled by the opponent in the market, and secondly, you are also afraid that there will be no good fruit to eat after being targeted by these people." ”

A sneering smile appeared at the corner of Tang Jie's mouth: "You're afraid of getting into trouble and want to break away from us, this time you're here to collect the debt, right?"

Tang Jie's words pointed directly to the hearts of the people, Dali Yuston was sweating, and he stammered: "Honor, respected Captain Tang Jie, you, you must know that I am just a merchant, no, not a soldier, nor a pirate. You see, I've done so much for you, can you ......"

"Want gems, right?" Tang Jie's gaze seemed to see everything, and he had a smile on his face, but his look made Darius shudder.

This greedy and timid fat businessman kept wiping his sweat, wanting to nod, but he was afraid of angering the black-haired demon king, and wanted to deny it, but he was unwilling to run away in vain.

Tang Jie looked at Darius, and sneered in his heart, he went to Darius before and used such a precious gem to lure this guy, just to tie him to his chariot.
