I haven't seen him for more than three months, and Erxi has indeed become darker, but he is also stronger. The two of them briefly chatted about the development status of the island in the past three months, everything went very smoothly, and the fishing ground was on the right track, all thanks to the bait that Li Mu had researched. Nowadays, the catch is stable every day, and sometimes there are even too many fish, and the fishing boats are not enough to give the fishermen a holiday.

The two were chatting, and the housekeeper Su Shan trotted over all the way, panting and complaining: "Master, our grandmother and Liu's grandmother don't have a place to live yet." ”

Li Mu was stunned for a moment, and Erxi patted his head and said, "Look at my memory, the residence has already been prepared." As he spoke, he led Li Mu and Su Shan all the way towards the residential area, and said as he walked: "Two months ago, Liu Yuanwai sent someone to bring a message, asking us to build a few more courtyards here. No, the development of the fishery is going smoothly, and the fishermen don't have to go to work every day, just let them build it when they are free. ”

After a while, Erxi led Li Mu to the innermost part of the residential area, and the five mansions stood in a neat row, although they didn't look as grand as the Wujin courtyard in Xichao Village, but what other requirements did they have on this island?

The two casually walked into a mansion, Li Mu walked around, and said to Erxi: "Don't say it, these fishermen are quite capable and can build houses?"

Erxi grinned and said, "Now the fishermen in our fishing ground are too mixed, and there are people from the twelve counties of Hai'an Prefecture. Among them, a few of them used to build houses in the county, and their jobs were not good, so they came to work in our fishing grounds. ”

Li Mu nodded thoughtfully, it is a technical job to build a house, and when the time comes, it must be picked out separately, and then let these guys bring some apprentices. In the future, the construction of Haiping Island will be put in the first place.

He didn't see Wanniang and Man'er around, so he asked Su Shan to look for them. Staying fine, he visited the residential area with Erxi again. Not to mention, the construction of this place is much stronger than Xichao Village, and the houses are not crooked, all neat and tidy, horizontal is horizontal, vertical is vertical, each house has two rooms in the east and west, one yin and one yang two courtyards. There is no spacing between the houses, and there is a three-meter aisle between the front and back rows, and the ground is very flat.

At this time, dozens of fishermen were carrying large bags of materials to distribute from house to house, Li Mu walked over and took a look, these materials included white rice and white noodles, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, cotton clothes and quilts, and all kinds of small things for home use. Even pots and pans didn't fall.

He looked up at Erxi in surprise and said, "Brother Xizi, okay! The materials are so well prepared?"

Erxi replied with a smile: "These materials were not prepared by me, they were all purchased by Liu Yuanwai, and Uncle Dali sent someone to send them." ”

At this time, a fisherman accidentally dropped a bag of rice noodles that he was holding, Li Mu hurriedly caught it, and looked at the things he was holding in his arms, heh, it was really a lot, and this bag of rice noodles almost blocked his vision after being put back on. Li Mu patted him on the shoulder: "Next time, take less, work slowly, we are not landlords." The man smiled and agreed, and went off.

The two walked all the way forward, and Li Mu said: "In the future, it can't always be called by Liu Yuanwai and Liu Yuanwai, we are all a family now, so it is called Taishengfen." ”

Erxi scratched his hair and agreed. Li Mu continued: "I plan to build this place into a main city after a while. The work of the fishing farm was stopped for a while, and there were three ice cellars on the northern side, which were full of catch, and they would definitely be enough to sell for a while. Well, by the way, let those who know how to build plan for this place, and then all kinds of taverns, grocery stores, and so on will be set up. After living in the countryside for half my life, it's time to enjoy the life of a city person. ”

"Hey!" the two smiled from ear to ear. In the final analysis, the industries here are all owned by Li Mu and Liu Luo, and Erxi was ordered to manage here. Now that one owner is here and another is coming, it will be much easier to get to work.

The two walked around the residential area, and from the perspective of the living environment, they were divided into three sections, the Wang family in Xichao Village lived together, the Yang family lived together, and the people in Xincun lived together. Li Mu asked Erxi, and Erxi said that these houses were all chosen by these people themselves, not by him.

Li Mu felt a little headache: this was different from the harmonious society of coexistence and co-prosperity that he expected!

When night fell, Li Mu and Erxi finally pulled out the two lost little ladies at Tian Zhuang's house. The two sisters and the Wangsun sisters were sitting on the hot kang and chattering quietly.

Li Mu waved his hand, and Wanniang and Man'er immediately followed. Counting the two joys, four people walked in front, a few maids followed, and a few people walked all the way home. As soon as they entered the door, several fishermen came out of their house one after another, and Erxi asked them, "Are they all arranged?"

The person who was asked was a little restrained in front of the owner, and replied stumblingly: "Don't worry, the big steward is all ready, and everything is new." ”

Li Mu patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Thank you for your hard work, it's not early, go home early and rest." ”

The man blinked his eyes, and an excited smile immediately appeared on his face: "It's not hard to do things for the owner!"

"Go ahead. ”

"Hey!"

Looking at the man's back, Li Mu pulled Erxi to his side and said, "Brother Xizi, after a while, I am going to establish a regime on this island. When the new regime is introduced, the first principle is that everyone is equal. There is a chance that you will slowly infiltrate this kind of thinking to the fishermen below. Respect for the owner is right, but there's no need to cringe. They take my money, but they also pay for their labor. ”

Erxi listened with a blank face, Li Mu patted his head, it seems that this kind of thinking still has to penetrate slowly.

Walking into the door, everything in the house is really available, all new, and it looks like a warm home. In the evening, Li Mu personally cooked a few dishes, and drank them with Erxi, and the two of them drank the wine until midnight. At the wine table, Erxi told him in detail about the development process of Haiping Island, and at the end, he added: The area of Haiping Island is much larger than imagined. From the sea, the current location is a small tail extending from the continental plate of Haiping Island.

That night, Wanniang and Man'er slept in the master bedroom, and Li Mu slept in the guest room by himself. The next day, at dawn he got up and set off. He hadn't really learned about the island yet, and if the location he was in now was just a small tail extending from the island, then the island would be too big!
