Chapter 967: Finding the Clues

But it eventually climbed in.

There was silence all around, save for the crashing of the waves against the reef. Two small crabs came ashore and fought in a stone nest.

After the evil aura disappeared from here, the number of small creatures visiting the Bone Stick Reef increased.

This is just a microcosm of the recent situation in the northern and eastern northern islands of the Yangshan Islands.

Suddenly, a scream broke the silence on the shore, and the flying fox crawled out of the crypt and flapped its wings.

The two crabs were so frightened that they hid under the rocks.

But it was only one foot above the ground, and a handful of white silk suddenly shot out of the black cracks in the ground, which accurately stuck to the flying fox's body and dragged it down!

The flying fox struggled desperately, but his strength was not as strong as the other party.

As soon as it hit the ground, a spider suddenly swooped out of the crack in the ground and squirted a few more mouthfuls of spider silk at it.

The thing crawled out of the crack in the ground and stretched out on eight legs, and was as tall as a foal. Where is the flying fox's opponent, the lower half of it is rolled into a wriggling cocoon chrysalis.

The crypt spider looked left and right, but found nothing unusual, so little by little dragged the prey back into the darkness.

As soon as he returned to the Yangshan Islands, Dong Rui hurriedly returned to his island with the newly arrived materials, that is, the experimental materials that He Lingchuan spent 80,000 yuan to help him buy.

He had a lot of new ideas and was eager to test them out.

He Lingchuan and Min Tianxi continued to drive towards Centipede Island.

He has chosen Centipede Island as his residence, on the one hand, this island is not large and relatively quiet; On the other hand, it is right in the center of the Fourteen Islands, and it is close to everything.

The residence of the island owner, how dare Ding Zuodong be sloppy? In the past, he wanted to hire the best craftsmen within a hundred miles, but He Lingchuan only said that he could just build a few wooden houses. Money, energy, and time should all be spent on the blade, and his personal enjoyment can be pushed back.

After living in the wooden house in Panlong City for so long, he didn't feel unwell.

Taking advantage of the fact that he was out for a few days, Ding Zuodong ordered someone to paint his new residence. He Lingchuan walked in, and there was a fresh woody fragrance everywhere.

Ding Zuodong didn't dare to disobey the owner's intentions, so he only ordered someone to build a two-hall courtyard for him. The building materials are basically taken from Centipede Island, which is spacious, sturdy and has an island style.

It can also be re-stamped later.

He Lingchuan shaved his beard and took a comfortable hot bath in his new home for the first time to wash away the fatigue of the past few days.

Then he fell asleep.

This squint was half an hour, and when he woke up, the water was cold.

He got up and wrung himself out, changed his clothes again, and went out to see Ding Zuodong and others waiting in the living room, talking and laughing.

Ever since the Yangshan Islands had become the property of He Lingchuan, they hadn't been so relaxed for a long time.

He Lingchuan could tell from their expressions that everyone was in a good mood.

Seeing He Lingchuan come out, everyone immediately got up. Ding Zuodong rubbed his hands and said, "Owner, the permit for Blade Port has been issued!" ”

"Oh? Wu Tiju softened? ”

Everyone laughed.

"It's soft. All the permits we have to apply for in Blade Harbor, palm oil, medicinal materials, aquatic products, spider silk, fruits and vegetables, etc., have all been done, and several blanks have been reserved! All the stores have also been allowed to open, the in-store facilities have passed the inspection, and there will be no more troubles in the future. ”

He Lingchuan said three "good" words in a row.

Although this result was expected by him, he also breathed a long sigh of relief when he heard it with his own ears.

Bailie Lu Jia and Wu Tiju teamed up to calculate him and make things difficult for him, so it should be dead for other merchants, right? Fortunately, he has a lot of cards in his hand, and he can also fight against the army.

In this round, the Lu family's father and son's move failed, and He Lingchuan didn't bother to clean them up, even if it was a tie.

Later, he will get it back with interest.

"Also, Wu Tiju's ship is already on our prescribed route." Ding Zuodong didn't want his eyebrows to flutter, and he also wanted to be reserved, but he really couldn't help wow-he was too embarrassed to face the Lu family's yin tricks recently, "Wu Tiju's sailors on the boat talked everywhere, saying that the Wu family wanted a safe route from us to avoid the yin!" In just a few days, there are several times more boats passing through Sodin Island! ”

As long as Wu Tiju continues to stand on the platform, as long as the production, operation, and sales of Yangshan Islands can form a virtuous circle, He Lingchuan can stand firm and start the next plan.

"Hello about the supply depot?"

"Good!" Renee stroked her long braids and replied loudly and crisply, "There are suddenly more people on the island, and there is not enough food to prepare in the supply store." Lao Zhao, who is in charge of the kitchen, told me that the aphid cakes that could be sold for a day are now sold out in one morning. ”

"Send more manpower and provide considerate service."

"Okay, it's already done." Renee's face glowed red. The supply stack on Sodin Island is coming in, and she is the one who has the money.

He Lingchuan turned his head and asked Qiu Hu, "How is Xinding's training?" ”

More than 4,000 people signed up for the Yangshan Escort Team, and when He Lingchuan returned from Platinum Island, the screening work was already over. Even though He Lingchuan repeatedly asked Qiu Hu to lower his standards, only 500 of the 1,800 agricultural workers who signed up were hired.

The total number of members of the guard team who were finally determined was more than 1,500, and the elimination rate was not low.

This was also expected by He Lingchuan. Being able to farm does not mean that you can enlist in the army.

"The pirates have a better foundation, and the people of the Bailong tribe are also very good, and several female soldiers are better than the men; Most of the children of peasant workers have no foundation and must be taught from scratch. Qiu Hu reported, "I have made up my brothers as the head of the school, and each of them teaches more than 100 lessons. ”

"Unification starts with teaching basic mental methods and martial arts, and Xinding feels fresh, and his enthusiasm is high in the past two days."

Like the Panlong Army and the Yuheng Army, He Lingchuan also let the Yangshan Escort Team learn the basic mental method, but the range of options was narrowed from five mental methods to three: two were obtained from Panlong City, and one was the Rongshan mental method.

He wrote the textbooks on his way back to Platinum Island, and distributed them when he returned to his own territory.

He wrote for five days back and forth.

It's harder than you think, and it's hard to make it easy to understand, because most of the recruits can't even write their own names.

At that time, there will be a special person to explain.

Rongshan disciples have been practicing for a long time, and they will not change their basic mental methods, but they can understand the textbook at a glance and can also teach Xinding.

This is also an important gimmick for Yangshan Islands to recruit new recruits. No matter how basic the mental method is, civilians can't learn it unless they join the army or the Daomen.

In troubled times, who doesn't want to be armed by force? It's also a safety guarantee for yourself and your family.

Renee smiled, "Then aren't you the head of the sect?" ”

Qiu Hu scratched his head, yes.

"Training should be strict, rewards and punishments should be clear, diet should be preferential, and salary payment should be timely." He Lingchuan only made five requests to him, "In addition, don't let them gang up." ”

"The base of pirates and Bailong people is large, and it is difficult to break up and mix." Qiu Hu said in a deep voice, "I'll pay attention." ”

"The recruitment and training of the Guardian Force will be the top priority of the Yangshan Islands in the future, and others will also cooperate with you." He Lingchuan said senran, "Hurry up and train a good team for me!" After these few days, I will go to the army to check the progress. ”

"Yes!"

Qiu Hu knew very well that He Lingchuan attached more importance to the escort team than his own business.

Without force, wealth is a curse.

What's more, he faintly felt that He Lingchuan's goal was far more than that, far more than the Yangshan Islands.

Training and strengthening the army, time is pressing.

Renee stopped talking.

He Lingchuan looked at Liulu and didn't ignore her small movements: "Say, what's the matter?" ”

"Maybe I'm nosy, but ......" Renee glanced at Qiu Hu, "Six hundred Bailong people are in the convoy, right?" ”

Qiu Hu nodded: "Yes." ”

These Bailong people themselves are tribal warriors, and they have been on the battlefield to kill people. There are a few who have not recovered from their injuries, but they can easily defeat ordinary people.

Sifting people on the battlefield has always been the most ruthless.

"But only about a dozen of their families live on the island, and at least only a dozen or so have reported to me. I've only seen a few Bailong kids playing in the camp, and I haven't seen them again. ”

Renee manages the island's farm labor. In order, new arrivals usually have to report to her for future management. "Many of the workers we recruited were alone, but more of them were with their families, after all, the island was inconvenient to get in and out. Men do hard work, women, children, and the elderly squeeze fruit, sweep, cook, and do laundry. In this way, the whole family makes money together, and half a copper plate is not missed. ”

Everyone stopped squeaking, and Renee was telling the truth. The family is the basic unit of productivity.

Renee continued, "Even the original pirates, the owner of the island demanded that they move their families to the island. Many of them were moved to the island by the whole village. Didn't these hundreds of Bailong people go south with their relatives? ”

Living on the island with their families, whether they are pirates or agricultural workers, they will be more attached to the islands, have a greater sense of belonging, and are more willing to work for it. This is also He Lingchuan's purpose.

On the other hand, what kind of people go to the island to work without their families, or hundreds of strong men sign up together?

There are a lot of chores on the island, and He Lingchuan and his subordinates have their own responsibilities.

Qiu Hu is in charge of military affairs, and Renee is in charge of labor services. When everyone sweeps the snow in front of their own door, there are many gaps to drill in between, and there are many loopholes that are easy to be overlooked.

As soon as Renee brought this up, everyone felt that something was wrong.

Min Tianxi even said: "Yaguo people are irritable and martial, maybe they are not happy with any good intentions. ”

He Lingchuan snorted: "It's okay, it's all because we want people to be in a hurry." How did these 600 Bailong people recruit? ”

In the early days of the Yangshan Islands, Zhao Ding was catching up with the palm harvest season, and the main theme was that the more the merrier, as long as he could do the work, he was not qualified to keep improving, so he did not blame everyone.

Qiu Hu immediately said: "In the past few years, the Bailong tribe has been supported by the Mu State, so the Ya Kingdom began to liquidate in the future and has been suppressing their tribe. The Bailong patriarch raised troops to rebel, but the news leaked and was suppressed by Yaguo in advance. The patriarch died, and the Bailong tribe was driven out of Yaguo. ”

The little thing in the neighbor's house is easy to spread to Qingguo and Bailie, and the business goods of Daofeng Port are gathered, and it is also a transit station for nearby news.
