Anyway, the island is not big, so he simply became a tour guide and took He Lingchuan to inspect it on the spot.

After walking a small half circle, He Lingchuan also had to admit: "Indeed, the scenery is infinite." "The charm of the sea, not many people can resist.

On the way back and forth, you can see a long bamboo pipe, and they even walked along the pipe for more than 100 feet.

"The supply stack opens up the thick bamboo tube, one by one, and connects it one by one, and it can lead down the stream spring water in the mountains." Otherwise, the fresh water needed by the ships would have to be scooped up in the mountains.

"It's very convenient."

Mr. Yang also produced a compensation agreement signed with the tenant, which was signed by both parties.

In the face of big money, the Lu family will not care about that little bit of silver.

Afterwards, the group headed to Sodin Island.

Of the six outlying islands of the Yangshan Islands, only the two closest to the shipping lanes have supply stacks.

Sodin Island is three times larger than Black Pages, the terrain is quite flat, and it is also dominated by shale. To He Lingchuan's surprise, the supply stacks here were built quite neatly, the trestle bridges were built wide and flat, and the buildings on the shore were smoothed with gray-white mud on the exterior walls, and the white spots on them were shells made of local materials, and the roofs were uniformly covered with thick seaweed.

From a distance, rows of houses sit like large, fat and stocky round mushrooms, nestled in shiny palm groves.

Looking closely, the house is well zoned, with a storage area for unloading ships, a food area for food, tobacco and alcohol, as well as a kitchen and a lounge.

Of course, the water has been emptied.

The back rows of houses are guest rooms, and the side by the sea is a single VIP room, with a sea view and quiet;

The closest to the storage area is a bunk for seven or eight people and an ordinary room for four or five people.

All kinds of objects and utensils are also neatly arranged, as if the owner is just leaving temporarily.

I don't know if it's too strong compared to the supply stack on Black Pages Island, He Lingchuan feels that this place is very pleasing to the eye, and the original stack owner should have spent a lot of work.

"It's a good place." Not big enough but clean and tidy. There is no need to demolish it in the later stage, only to expand.

Master Yang smiled: "Yes, most ships are willing to stop here. Oh, and there's a sulphur hot spring behind here, so you can go straight down. A soak is very relieving. ”

He led He Lingchuan to see the hot springs, which was actually a small lake in the middle of the bay on the side, and the water vapor was steaming, and there was a smell of sulfur as soon as he approached.

It is a seawater hot spring and seems to produce a lot of water. Reach out and touch it, forty-five or six degrees.

He Lingchuan is satisfied, having a natural hot spring is a plus, well, it is worth developing.

"This supply stack is really well repaired. The lease period has not expired, and the original owner is willing to leave? ”

"Compensation was given, and they had nothing to say."

In He Lingchuan's original world, this is called liquidated damages.

After a short half circle on the island, He Lingchuan saw two small villages, both of which lived by the stream, but there were not many people.

The old man of the village sat on a bench outside the house, looking at them with a blank face.

"What are these?"

"It's a resident of the island. They have lived for decades, and if they have a land deed, the ancestors of the Lord of the Lu clan also recognize it. In other words, "there are also such small villages on other islands, with a minimum of 20 or 50 people, and at most only forty or fifty." ”

This is the protected private property mentioned in the transfer agreement of the Yangshan Islands? According to the agreement, He Lingchuan could not forcibly drive them out.

"How many villages are there in the archipelago?"

"Well, six, there are three on Black Pages; This island is relatively large, so there are more villages. ”

"This village has the most people?" He Lingchuan pointed forward, "What is it called?" ”

Master Yang didn't know either, so he asked someone to go in and inquire a few words: "Luding Village." It is named because of the Rutin Creek on the side. ”

"There are so few people, so they live on farming?"

"I guess so."

Master Yang's words are equivalent to "I don't know", He Lingchuan glanced at him: "Don't they pay rent or taxes?" "Otherwise, the officials know at least a little bit of the skin.

Yang Heshu coughed: "There are too few people." ”

That is, not to pay.

ran several islands to collect so many melons and two dates, which could not cover the labor cost of collecting taxes. This small account is very lossy, and Bailie simply does not levy it.

He Lingchuan nodded and continued to walk forward.

The whole island is full of palm trees, and there is even a farm in the middle of the forest, in which a lot of utensils are placed, and there are many fruits piled up behind the house, and there are also husks, like chestnuts but larger.

He Lingchuan picked up the husk and looked at it a few times: "What is this?" ”

Master Yang said: "This is palm fruit, they pick fruit and extract oil here privately, and they have not reported and paid taxes!" ”

The archipelago used to belong to Bairi, and of course the crops on the island also belonged to Bairi. The supply stack organized the villagers to build a workshop here to extract oil, and did not pay additional money to Bailie, so of course Master Yang was not happy.

Of course, these islands are about to be owned by He Lingchuan, and they have nothing to do with Bailie.

"There are a lot of palm trees on this island, are they productive?"

"Everywhere." Master Yang replied casually, "I've heard that there are more in the depths of the archipelago. ”

"Oh? Heard? He Lingchuan glanced at him, "Master Yang hasn't been to the depths of the archipelago to see it?" ”

In retrospect, there are indeed countless palm trees on Longji Island, and he has seen a lot of fruit on and under the trees, and no one cares for them at all.

Oh, I almost leaked my mouth! Master Yang quickly came back with the words: "I'm afraid of the wind and waves at sea, and I rarely take a boat." The rest of the Yangshan Islands are handled by colleagues. ”

He Lingchuan didn't ask a word, and returned to the beach to board the boat accompanied by Master Yang.

However, as soon as we arrived at the beach, there was a quarrel on the pier ahead.

He Lingchuan looked up and saw that more than a dozen guards brought by Master Yang blocked the trestle, as if they were surrounding someone.

He Lingchuan couldn't see the other side of the quarrel, but he could hear a loud and angry voice-

"It's all my family's own things, why do you say to give it to people, with the consent of my family! There are still seven years left in the lease, why are you driving us away, do you know that the sale is not broken? ”

It was a woman, with a young voice, and she spoke as fast as popping beans, crackling and pouring out.

More than a dozen big men on the other side couldn't argue with her, and they couldn't even suppress her voice.

One of the guards was so angry that he reached out and pushed him, but before his fingers could touch anyone, the woman grabbed his arm and pulled him out, and kicked him in the stomach at the same time.

plopped, a man of more than 150 pounds, was actually kicked into the water by her.

The other guards looked at it, yo ha, dare to do it? Go up and arrest them at once.

The woman jumped back into the boat first, grabbed the oar, and slapped the guards who followed.

Another one overboard.

She was so nimble that the other guards didn't want to go down to eat the board, so they grabbed the cable and pulled the boat up the trestle with all their might. In this way, she will either fall into the water or be captured, and there will be a third way?
