Chapter 203: Infrastructure
Merchants have a scale in their hearts, and they know how cost-effective they can be, and beyond that, they may lose all their money.
I wanted to blackmail me, but now it seems that it is almost impossible to get money from me.
The two sides fought to the death, and there was nothing good for the businessman.
They will definitely stop the loss in time, so as not to lose their lives.
No one came to make trouble, and Biyi Island became peaceful and comfortable, like a paradise.
Yunzhou and I walked around the island, there was no road on the island, and the two of us relied on light skills to shuttle between the mountains and forests.
It's okay to play, but if you want to make it a 'city' in the future, you can't do it without a road.
The crew of the Sea Owl also landed on the island to help me pack my things.
I told them to tear down the nests and hire some craftsmen in the small coastal towns.
I plan to recruit for a long time, so I give priority to young people who have no burden, who have someone at home to take care of, who cannot leave for a long time, or who have women and children to take care of, so it is not recommended to work on the island.
It doesn't matter if my family can accompany me, the first building that the crew helped me build was the staff dormitory.
Build a living area for the workers first, and then talk about future work.
The first mate helped me connect with an architect and invited someone to take a look, it was a teenage hairy child.
The child was carrying several bags on his back, which were full of drawings.
The first mate said slightly apologetically that the designer is old and bedridden, and this is his little grandson, who can probably top... A third of the designers.
I didn't say anything else, let the child come up with a plan first, I'll see.
He is young, but as the saying goes, dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and children of mice will make holes.
Grandpa is a talented designer, and his grandson has been exposed to it since he was a child, so he should be able to get some design bacteria.
The child's name is Kang Jian, and his grandfather is a retired architect who participated in the construction of a seaside city.
When I got sick a few years ago, I couldn't afford to get sick and moved to the countryside to recuperate, only to be taken care of by my little grandson.
If it sounds good, it is to recuperate, and if it is bad, it is to be swept away by his son.
Kang Jian is the only son of his eldest son, the eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law both died in an accident many years ago, Kang Jian was raised by his side, after he fell ill and had no hope of healing, the younger son and daughter-in-law got his mansion in the city, and their savings for many years were also taken away by them.
only sent one old and one young to the old house in the countryside, gave a little living expenses, and barely survived.
The first mate went to invite the old designer Kang, knowing that the person was sick and couldn't go out, so he planned to give up.
Kang Jian tried his best to recommend himself, in exchange for this opportunity, he wanted to give his grandfather something good to nourish his body, and he also wanted to make more money to grab valuable medicinal materials to treat his grandfather.
The first mate 'betrayed' me at that time, saying that I was a miracle doctor, and that his grandfather might still be cured.
Kang Jian worked hard as soon as he arrived, and began to run on the day he landed on the island, taking a map to familiarize himself with the terrain on the island.
I left Yunzhou to look after the house, and took a boat back to the shore to see the old designer Kang.
If there is a treasure in the family, let alone an experienced designer.
The accommodation conditions of the grandfather and grandson are really poor, the old man is lying in a dark and damp dilapidated house, not a terminal illness.
I first injected him with healing energy, pretended to give him an injection, made him feel better, and asked someone to carry him onto the boat.
According to his original physical condition, he could not do the boat, and my healing qi was treating him, and his body was gradually recovering during the boat.
I gave him needles and medicine every day, and by the time he got off the boat, he didn't have to be carried.
The crew helped him walk to the dock and lived in the temporary staff dormitory first, Kang Jian saw him coming, he didn't control his tears, hugged him and cried with joy.
The doctors they had seen before all said that Old Man Kang couldn't walk on the ground anymore.
Indeed, with the medical conditions of this era, he basically said goodbye to crutches and wheelchairs, and could only lie in bed until death.
Luckily, I'm a stranger, and it's not hard to restore him.
There are crew members who know carpenter work, and they sharpen a pair of crutches for him, Kang Lao exercises on crutches every day, but the errand work still has to be done by young people, Kang Jian will not work lightly, and he will take a long time to survey the terrain.
My opinion is to build roads first, and only when there are roads can we do other things, and engineering transportation also needs roads.
Building roads is not something that a few people can do, and materials can be taken on the spot, but the demand for manpower is large.
Yun Zhou suddenly patted me on the shoulder, telling me not to rush to hire someone, he had a way to get free labor.
He's been away from home for a few days, and he hasn't seen any old people come looking for him, where can he go to get people?
I was curious, but I didn't have the slightest doubt about his words.
He said he could get it, and he would get it.
I sent a message to the Demon Cult and told them that I was working on infrastructure on Biyi Island.
Biyi Island was named after the Biyi faction, and now that the Biyi faction is gone, I don't want to use the name of Yehuanmen, so I renamed the island Treasure Island.
Before the road was built, a wharf was built to transport large goods to the island, and the original small wharf could not be used.
The crew of the Sea Owl introduced me to a knowledgeable master, made plans and prepared materials.
Rome wasn't built in a day, and my goal wasn't to build a holiday villa.
As long as everything was in order, the first mate and crew brought their families to the island.
They used small boats to fish near the island, and I didn't expect them to do that, and when I heard my question, the first mate smiled and said, "They see that I am a man who can do great things, and it is right to follow me."
Food is available everywhere, but some of the island's resources, such as macaroni, are not available anywhere else.
While cultivating grain fields, I also want to engage in the cultivation of medicinal herbs.
There are no pharmaceutical factories in this world, and doctors still prescribe medicines, and patients or family members go to the pharmacy to grab medicines.
If there are buyers, it will be made on the spot, and there will be no extra shares.
The level of production tools is there, the grinding powder is not as fine as modern ones, and there is no wax sealing technology.
On the surface, it seems that people's demand for medicinal materials is small, and there is no need to set up a production line, but in fact, most people cannot afford to take medicine.
When the people at the bottom are sick, most of them choose to carry it hard, and many of them die of illness.
Wild and precious medicinal materials are expensive in every world, and common herbs like dandelion are worthless and good, but they may not be able to cure their own diseases.
It is natural that the medicinal herbs that grow in the deep mountains and cliffs are expensive.
Growing grain for self-consumption, growing medicine for production and sales, I wrote down several possibilities for future development in a small notebook.
Looking up at my homemade calendar, Yunzhou had been away for more than a month, and he was traveling by fast boat, not in the direction of Sun City.
He has my qi in his body, I have sense, and I know that his life is worry-free, but he is too far away to know what he is doing.
In the evening, the crew and the dock repairers were roasting meat around the fire, and the brothers on the 'lighthouse' warned us.
The crew was afraid that there would be any more people on the island to make trouble, so they first built a wooden tower on the seaside to facilitate observation of the situation at sea.
The sentry brother uses two kicks with arrows, similar to the Signal/Gun.
There are one of these posts every five kilometres, and the news is back to our temporary quarters with a delay of about twenty minutes.
From the discovery of an enemy situation at sea to the enemy's landing, there is more than 30 minutes of reaction time.
The message from the 'lighthouse' was brief, and a large number of unidentified ships had appeared at sea, approaching our island.
