Chapter 230: Backing

The people on the island also don't know what mining is going to do. A few days ago, the workers in charge of exploration discovered copper and iron ore.

Wen Mian came to ask me if I wanted to mine.

It's easy to say about the things on the side, and no one cares if you buy more or less.

However, if the metal used to make weapons is purchased in large quantities, it will inevitably arouse the suspicion of eyeliner outside the island.

In this world, you don't need metal to build a house, and you don't need to build bridges and pave roads.

Metal ores are generally mined by the country to which they belong, and large transactions must be accounted for.

The island had bought a large number of tools before, and there were blacksmiths and all kinds of craftsmen there, saying that it was used to make hoes, but no one would believe it.

Therefore, the metal ore on the island still has to be mined.

I ordered Wen Mian to secretly go out to find masters and workers who can smelt techniques, as well as master craftsmen who can forge weapons.

The weapons don't need to be too fine, the high-end weapons created by the gods are for the masters of the rivers and lakes, and I mainly use them for prisoners and naval soldiers.

I've seen weapons for the marines, and they're of average quality.

Although the shield plug-in of the white hairball is easy to use, it is a living creature after all, and there are always uncertainties.

If it suddenly dies one day, the people on the island don't even have a knife, and they will always feel a little less secure.

Guard Jia has been instructed by me to observe the 'security guards' among the prisoners who are suitable for selected training.

They are a little old, and they miss the best age to practice Tongzigong, but some boxing and knife techniques can still be quickly developed in two or three years.

There is no need to train them to become martial arts masters, just meet the standards of ordinary soldiers.

Guard Jia carefully observed the prisoners, who were between the ages of sixteen and twenty-six, first looking at their physical fitness and then their character.

The white-eyed wolf is unavoidable, and if he is bitten back, it will hurt if he doesn't die.

The fact that these people can be sentenced to life/imprisonment/imprisonment shows that there are many vicious thugs inside.

After observing and talking many times, the guard Jia first drew up a list based on his judgment.

Feel that the person on the list is suitable for security training.

Some have been wrongfully imprisoned, and some have already sincerely repented of their crimes and only hope to atone for their sin in the next prison/prison/life.

There are also those who commit homicide by mistake, or who surrender after fighting a bully for the sake of others.

He first picked out a hundred people, made a list and handed it to me, with information about each person's personality, habits, family background, etc.

Nowadays, there are few patrols on the island, and a large number of people are required for production.

Letting ordinary villagers patrol is not a long-term solution after all.

They had no weapons, so they had to defend themselves with sticks or knives.

Drawn from the navy, I was reluctant to accept such well-trained road builders, and the progress and completion of their work were the most satisfactory of all the construction teams.

I got the list, went through the sieve again, and at the end there were fifty people left.

These fifty people were personally arranged by the guard Jia and sent out of the wasteland clearing team to form a patrol team.

The primary weapon is a spear made by a blacksmith and a carpenter.

The instructor who trained them on a daily basis was a minor military attache assigned from within the navy.

The junior military attache is just 19 this year and has been in the army for three years.

Three generations of his family have been sailors, and he has been playing in the barracks since he was a child, training with the adults in style.

The management of the barracks in Haixian Fort is not so strict, and children who are really left at home and have no one to take care of them can be led into the barracks by their fathers and take them with them.

These children have a dedicated area, similar to the on-site nursery.

The mother of the junior military attache died early, and his father also died of illness two years ago, and the barracks was his home.

At his age, it must be boring for him to build roads and bridges every day.

The guard Jia said that there was a job of training people, and asked him if he would like to do it, and he immediately agreed.

Wan'er and Xiaojiao rushed over, their eyes were red and swollen from crying, and the guard Jia took them to the grave for me, and only told the truth when they arrived at the grave.

They also know how dangerous it is to get caught up in the Dragon Palace, and if they know the truth in advance and behave poorly on the road, they may take their lives and affect others.

Because if I hadn't died, as long as they had taken them hostage, I would have done something.

Looking back, they pondered it and realized how many dangers there were along the way.

There are not a hundred but eighty people who tempt them, and they are calculated in the middle, in a chain of plans, and in a bitter plan, one after another.

The two of them reviewed the end of the script and analyzed it for several days, and felt that everyone they met on the road was like an enemy with a hidden identity.

I picked them up at the treehouse, and the two of them arrived at Treasure Island safely, and the Nanzi group who had escorted them all the way also appeared.

I stayed in the Demon Sect with the three groups of secret guards of Yue, Nan, and Xiang, and asked them to protect Yuenanxiang and the Demon Sect's territory.

Nan Jiu came and said that Yue Nanxiang's martial arts had improved by leaps and bounds, and I helped her before leaving, but I couldn't predict the result at the time.

Nan Jiu said that Yue Nanxiang's skill suddenly skyrocketed after I left, and it seemed that half of her previous strength had been restored.

Yue Nanxiang heard that I took Biyi Island and wanted to build a city, but I thought that there would definitely be a shortage of manpower here, so I arranged for the secret guards of the Nanzi group to come over.

One is to escort Wan'er and Xiaojiao, and the other is to work for me.

The deal between her and me is still valid, and I can transfer the Dark Guard if I need to, and it's no problem to transfer them all.

The Demon Sect is a grain production base, and I didn't bring a secret guard when I left, and I also wanted to leave more people to guard the foundation.

"You don't have to worry, Mrs. Ying has transferred a large number of masters to protect the farmland, and now it is very safe inside and outside Nian'an City." Wan'er mentioned Simon's hateless biological mother, but she still didn't change her words, and called her Mrs. Ying very respectfully and politely.

"What did Mrs. Ying do in the teaching?" I don't want to ask about Mrs. Ying in my secret letters with the Demon Sect, but Simon trusts her 100% without hatred, and if I reply in the letters, I ask her what she is doing, as if I am spying on her.

"She does everything that is beneficial to the Demon Sect, protects farmland, encourages the sect to do business, recruits talents, and calls many martial arts masters." Wan'er said as she counted her fingers.

"What about your marriage? What's the attitude? "From the change in Wan'er's energy when she mentioned her, I could see that her emotions towards her mother-in-law were not right.

“…… This ......"

"Against! Wan'er is not easy to say, let me tell you, boss, you don't know, Mrs. Ying resolutely opposes the marriage between Wan'er and Ximen Sect Master. ”

"Why?" Although I asked so, I was not surprised that Mrs. Ying objected to their marriage.

"It's said that the door is inappropriate, the household is wrong, and I feel that Wan'er is not worthy of her son." Xiaojiao grew up in the Biyi faction and is very unfamiliar with door-to-door marriage.

Although she is not a casual smorgasbord of men and women with the Bichibanes, she is also a supporter of 'free love'.

The more Xiaojiao spoke, the more angry she became, she glanced at Wan'er who bowed her head, and said angrily: "She talked to Wan'er in private, and I hope she will take the initiative to mention to the sect leader that she wants to be small." ”

Wan'er, I understand, Simon has no hatred, and I am familiar with it.

Wan'er must have done what Mrs. Ying said, and Simon Wuxian must not have agreed.

"Fortunately, the sect leader disagreed, insisted on marrying Wan'er as his wife, and promised to have a couple for the rest of his life and never marry anyone else." Xiao Jiao's expression softened a little when she said this.
