Chapter 208: Another batch of deductions
After taking my poison, I don't need to take the antidote regularly, it depends on me whether I take it once, whether I have a seizure or not, and when I have a seizure. In the future, I will be familiar with it, and maybe I will solve the poison to them, and I am used to alternating military salutes in society.
Wen Mian quickly became familiar with the environment, and led the old and weak women and children to carry out the work of production, and their main work at present is to collect medicines and seeds.
Grain seeds have been planted in the reclaimed fields, and the cabbage on the other side of the field is growing the fastest.
Treasure Island does not snow, it also rains in winter, and the temperature is in the teens, which is very suitable for growing vegetables and fruits.
I received a letter from Wan'er, saying that the Demon Sect has started selling canned food.
Before leaving, I told them the production method, and I couldn't go back in a short time after this trip, and the production development there couldn't be stopped.
In addition to the cans, I also taught them how to make milk popsicles, which were mixed with crushed fruit, and there was no chocolate here, and I had never seen anyone grow cocoa beans.
They set up a food street in the Demon Sect, and the more types of snacks the better.
I pondered that I would transport something from there to sell, but the grain would definitely not work, and there would be enough grain fields along the coast, and it would be more profitable to transport it from the far north to the sea.
However, the leather goods and medicinal materials on the snowy region are not available elsewhere, and they can be sold at a high price from the north to the south, and they may make more money when sold overseas.
Merchants from the north need to form caravans and hire bodyguards to sell goods to the south, and the Demon Cult itself can provide bodyguards.
I wrote my thoughts down in a letter and sent them back to the Demon Cult to show the elders.
Simon never hated these things, and he also confessed that anything that did not involve the practice did not need to be decided by him.
I was able to get in touch with the elder directly, and he was all about preparing for the wedding and practicing the exercises.
They can't solve the leather goods, and I can only do this work when I go hunting in the snowy plains.
There are people who farm, there are fishers, there are people who build houses, there are people who build roads, and there is only a shortage of people to do business.
I can't be on the island all the time, and it's more convenient to do business directly with someone with work experience.
It takes a long time to start from the basics, and there may be many detours.
The first mate has been running a merchant at sea for a long time, and he knows a lot of maritime businessmen.
But most of them are related to the Xi family, they have a lot of scruples, and I need someone who is not afraid of the Xi family and dares to cooperate with me.
The maritime merchants did not find it, and the people from Seafairy Fort arrived first.
They brought a large number of official sailors and surrounded the island by warship.
When the pirates saw this, they seemed to have gone over, and they were frightened one by one.
If they were not afraid of death, they would not have fled to the sea to gamble on their lives.
A wicked person is also a person who spares his life.
If they are taken away, they know what will happen to them.
Seafairy Fort sent 10,000 sailors, and this battle seemed to be a battle to destroy the island.
Fortunately, there are no guns in this world, no air strikes.
They were only besieging us, and the food and water on the ships were not enough to sustain them in besieging us to death.
If you want to win, you have to go to the island and fight with us with swords and fists.
Of course, they carried large weapons, and there were thousands of archers.
I arranged for the old and weak women and children to hide in the underground palace, and the others hid in the woods and into the mountains, where the forest was dense and they could hide in a big tree.
Wen Mian rushed back from the farmland, and Yun Zhou also returned with the workers who repaired the docks, and arranged for them to hide in the cave.
There are quite a few caves on the island, and we have cleared a few of them to use as anti-attack caves.
There is water in the cave, enough for people to hide for a few days, and if they can't come out until they starve to death, it means that I am finished first, and they will die when they come out.
I'm here, they're safe, I'm gone, they're not safe anywhere.
The sailors of Seafairy Castle were armed with torches and oil, and they didn't intend to stay alive when they came.
The pirates have signed a deed, and according to the rules of the countries and islands, if I do not agree with them taking the pirates, they cannot take people from the islands.
Now they broke the rules first, so naturally they came with the intention of destroying the door, so that no one would know that they broke the rules, and afterwards it can be said that I took in pirates, or colluded with pirates, as long as the deed is burned, we will be unjustly killed, and there is nowhere to reason.
The legend of Seafairy Castle is romantic and beautiful, but now their official work is not beautiful at all.
In fact, if they are willing to exchange an equal number of laborers or prisoners with me, how can I refuse for the sake of a group of thugs?
The pirates did those things, dying 10,000 times was not enough to pay off the blood debt, if it weren't for the need for labor on the island, Yunzhou would have handed them over.
My purpose is not to influence them, but simply to lack people to work.
Last time I reminded the messengers of Seaseville that I needed labor, not pirates.
They don't know if they don't understand it, or if they don't want to exchange.
Anyway, this time, they were going to destroy me and the pirates.
The pirates were so scared at first, and they probably knew that I wouldn't fight for my life to protect them.
I landed the sailors of Seafairy Castle, with sword and shield soldiers in front and archers behind, and divided into three teams to outflank the office area, the farmland area, and the area where the road was being built.
The last time they came was at meal time, cooking in the open air, and there were many large cauldrons cooking at the same time, and they could tell where someone had a project by the smoke of the cooking.
They have lookouts on the masts of their ships, and there are simpler telescopes in this world.
Yun Zhou and Wen Mian stood beside me, one left and one right, and the three of us stood on an ancient tree, which was towering into the clouds, with dense branches and leaves, and it was more than enough to stand three people and hide their figures.
"Master, are you ready?" Wen Mian turned his wrist and asked, "Let me kill them or poison them?" ”
"Tsk, Hugh wants to shout and shout and kill, is it a good person to kill as a teacher? Besides, so much free labor, don't do it in vain, what is the use of my dead body? ”
Only two-thirds of the Seasen's sailors came, and a third remained on board.
I'm going to wait and see if they will support the 'missing' colleague.
The sailors thought that they could sit back and relax by eating the poison pill, but they did not know that the real 'poison' was not in the flowers and trees.
They were invaded by the gas filament, and by the time they sensed something was wrong, the team was already far from shore.
It's definitely too late to turn around, and there's no chance to even send a signal, so let's roar... The distance is too far for the big ships at sea to pick up their voices.
Like pirates, they fell in the grass and flowers.
Some pirates wanted to kill them, but as soon as the evil thought arose, they fell to the ground, and the light in their eyes gradually dimmed, and they became a thoughtless walking corpse.
I've done this before, and they know what to do.
If you break the rules I set, you will not die, but become a humanoid machine.
They will eat and drink water toilets, but they only have a little memory in their heads, which is repetitive labor.
It's easy to die quickly, with only seven seconds of memory left like a goldfish, and it does simple actions repeatedly, without any sense of the outside world, which scares the pirates.
It is the fear of the unknown of being unconscious.
This fear is not strong, but it is a blunt knife to cut the flesh.
There was no news of the sailors when they landed on the island, and the warships at sea waited for a day, and at night they sent a team of people, about 100 people, who quietly landed on the island, probably to spy on intelligence.
Of course, they also came and went, and when they lay down, it was as if they were asleep.
The warship was still relatively cautious, lifted anchor and returned to the island, and did not send anyone to land on the island.
They sent, but I did.
The rowing boat will be discovered, and I will put an oxygen tank on Wen Mian and send him from the sea to the bottom of the warship.
There were people on the boat guarding, he hung on the side of the hull, and the gas silk he 'brought' climbed onto the boat and drilled into the body of the sea soldier, I stood on the shore and manipulated the air wire to interfere with the sea soldier's brain and create a chance for Wen Mian to get on board.
The sailor on that ship only briefly lost his memory, and Wen Mian climbed onto the ship without getting wet, leaving no wet footprints, and no one found out that he was hiding on the ship.
He went back to Seaimmortal Castle with the warship, and he made this trip, first, to send a letter to the city lord over there, and second, to be familiar.
Biyi Island has become Treasure Island, and the people on our side should let the people on the shore recognize it.
Wen Mian is my spokesperson, and he can't just send letters, so he follows the letters, which also plays a deterrent role.
I believe that he is safe, more than 10,000 sailors came, and he went back a third, or because he did not land on the island, he fled, the strength of Treasure Island is here, as long as the city lord of Seaimmortal Fort is not reckless, he will definitely ensure that Wen Mian will come back safely.
If he really wants to go to war, Wen Mian also has the ability to protect himself and run away by himself.
What's more, he has my healing qi in his body, and he is not easy to die.
Wen Mian came back quickly, and brought back the letter from the City Lord of Seaimmortal Castle, I opened it and looked at it, it was a letter of apology.
In addition to apologizing for his rudeness, he promised to let the sailors who remained on the island work for me for three years free of charge.
Of course, I know that these people can't be killed, they are different from pirates, they are the officers and soldiers of Seaimmortal Castle, and killing them all is tantamount to declaring war with Seaimmortal Castle.
I gave the choice to the city lord over there, and if he didn't agree to the request in my letter, then we would fight directly, and Wen Mian would carry out the beheading mission.
If he agrees, then, as a sign of sincerity, I will put the sailors he has sent to work with me, and I will provide them with food and lodging free of charge, and let them go back at the end of the three years.
Including the third that ran back, they had to come back.
The Lord of Seaimmortal Castle agreed to all my requests, and Wen Mian brought back his handwritten letter and handed it to the Commander of the Seamen.
The soldiers arrived and the ships returned, and more than 10,000 seamen from Haixian Fort became the main force to build the road.
The pressure of rations is greater, and I used the compensation given by the princess of the Fire Clan to buy a large amount of food.
Fortunately, the navy soldiers are managed by their commanders, and there is no need to send another person to take care of them, they fetch water on time, receive food on time, and start work on time.
The pirates built roads on the east side of the island, and the seamen built bridges on the west side of the island.
The two waves occupy each end of the island, but there will be no conflict.
Kang Lao led people to make mixed soil, first brought it for half a month, and after the rest of the team remembered the formula ratio and the preparation time, he went to work on other things, and this team carried out the soil making work independently.
The old man is old, and although the disease has been completely cured under my treatment, he is still an old man after all, and his physical strength and energy are not enough.
He was only responsible for the verbal assignment, and I specially arranged for two nurses to follow him.
The construction site was smoky and dusty, so I asked a clever woman to sew some masks for Kang Lao, as well as a hard hat made of plant branches.
The workers at the construction site of this hat each had one hat, and there were no weeds and mud to build roads, and there were no low bridges that did not need to be climbed.
When they came out of the dungeon and saw that the island was fine, there were no mountains of corpses and bones, and there was no sea of fire spreading, the first mate was completely relieved this time.
The first mate came to me, and for the first time said in a very serious tone that he and his brothers on board were willing to follow me.
His tone and attitude made me quite awkward, as if I was going to do some kind of black society/group.
I corrected him, not to do things, but to build a harmonious and beautiful home.
"Yes, yes, follow the owner of the island, you can't make a mistake."
"You...... Alas, Seafairy Castle will not come to find fault for the time being, you can help me contact a trustworthy maritime merchant as soon as possible. ”
"Island owner, there are candidates, there are ready-made, but there are a few flaws, if you are in a hurry, I will inform him to come and try it first?"
"Blemishes?" I don't understand what he means by this flaw, whether it is physical, or character, or if he has vices.
"Ahem, he's a person who can't speak, but it's not that he can't speak, it's that he doesn't speak well, he just wants to say what he wants, of course, he is very strict about trade secrets."
"Oh? Can such a person do business? "In my impression, businessmen are eloquent, exquisite, and generally have high emotional intelligence.
"The ability is there."
The first mate spoke implicitly, saying half a sentence and leaving half a sentence.
There is ability, but it is easy to offend people when speaking.
I am also in urgent need of manpower, and I am not just recruiting a 'manager', I asked the first mate to send an invitation letter, inviting him to come over for an interview, if he can pass, the probation period is one month, and the treatment after becoming a regular can be discussed.
It is necessary to divide the dormitory, even if he brings a family of eight to come, the room is divided.
The island is very big, and what is lacking is popularity.
A few days later, another large ship sailed to our island.
It was the lord of Seaseville who used it to exchange pirate labor with me.
He gathered more than 3,000 criminals and sent them to the island to work in place of the pirates.
He is so obsessed with catching pirates because many years ago, his youngest daughter's family was robbed by pirates at sea, his son-in-law and the crew of the ship died tragically, and his youngest daughter and granddaughter were taken captive to the pirate's lair, and the end is estimated to be extremely miserable.
One of the crew members was not dead, the bottom of the ship was scuttled by pirates, and when the ship was sinking, he came to his senses, untied an escape boat with his body, and drifted back to shore in a semi-conscious state.
He was lucky to survive and reported the bad news to the city lord, who was so angry that he vomited blood on the spot and gathered sailors to rescue his little daughter.
He gave birth to seven sons with his wife, and six sons were born to him in the third concubine room, and finally looked forward to a daughter, which was regarded as a treasure and loved him very much.
Three months later, a fishing boat fished a woman's corpse from the sea, and the body was unrecognizable, with no clothes, no jewelry, and no belongings.
However, the corpse had traces of broken bones on its left arm, which was an old wound, six toes on its right foot, and a red mole on the center of its foot.
The fisherman brought the body back to shore and handed it over to the local government.
The government sent a notice, and the characteristics of the body were clearly written, and soon someone went to claim the body.
The deceased was the youngest daughter of the city lord of Seaimmortal Castle, and it was the eldest son of the city lord who went to claim the body.
The lord of the city ordered people to search the sea area where the body was found for a year, but still did not find the pirate's lair.
In his reply to me, he wrote in detail about his feud with the pirates.
