Chapter 208 Another Batch Deducted

If you take my poison, you don't need to take the antidote on a regular basis, it's all up to me if you take it once, whether or not it happens, and when it happens.In the future, when I get to know each other better, maybe I will cure them of the poison. The society is dangerous and I am used to using military salutes alternately.

Wen Mian got familiar with the environment very quickly, and it was easy for him to lead the old, weak, women and children in production. At present, their main job is to collect herbs and seeds.

Grain seeds have been sown in the recultivated fields, and the cabbage on the vegetable field grows the fastest.

Treasure Island does not snow, and it also rains in winter, with temperatures in the [-]s, which is very suitable for the growth of vegetables and fruits.

I received a letter from Wan'er, she said that the Devil's Cult has started selling canned food.

Before I left, I told them the production method. I couldn't go back in a short time after I left this trip, and the production development there couldn't stop.

In addition to the cans, I also taught them how to make milk popsicles, mixed with fruit chips, no chocolate here, and I have never seen anyone grow cocoa beans.

They set up a food street in the Devil's Cult, and the more types of snacks, the better.

I'm thinking of selling something from there, but the grain is definitely not good. There are enough grain fields along the coast, and the cost of transporting it from the extreme north to the sea is higher than the profit.

However, the leather goods and medicinal materials in the snow area are not found elsewhere, and they can be sold at high prices when transported from the north to the south, and they may earn more when sold overseas.

Merchants from the north transport goods to the south to sell. They need to form a caravan and hire bodyguards, and the Demon Cult can provide bodyguards themselves.

I wrote my thoughts into a letter, sent it back to the Demon Cult, and showed it to several elders.

Ximen Wuhen never cared about these things, and he also confessed that he didn't need to ask him to decide anything that didn't involve practicing kung fu.

I can directly contact the elder, who is preoccupied with wedding preparations and exercises.

They can't solve the fur goods, go hunting in the snowy plains, this job can only be done by me.

There are people who farm, fish, build houses, and build roads. Now there is only a shortage of people who do business.

It is impossible for me to stay on the island all the time, and to do business, it is more convenient to directly find someone with work experience to do it.

It will take a long time for a novice to start from the basics, and perhaps many detours.

The chief mate has been doing business at sea for a long time, and he knows many 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 sea merchants were not found, and the people from Haixianbao arrived first.

They brought a large number of official sailors and surrounded the island by warships.

Seeing the driver, the pirates seemed to have lost all hope, and their faces turned pale with fright.

If they were not afraid of death, they would not flee to the sea to gamble for a chance.

A vicious person is also a person who cherishes his life.

They knew what would happen if they were taken away.

Haixianbao sent [-] sea soldiers, and this battle seemed to be a battle to destroy the island.

Fortunately, there are no guns and air strikes in this world.

It is useless for them to besiege us. The food and water on board are not enough to support them besieging us to death.

If you want to win, you have to go to the island and fight swords and fists with us.

Of course they carried large weapons, and there were thousands of archers.

I arranged for the old and the weak, women and children to hide in the underground palace, and others went into the woods and hid in the mountains. The forest is dense, and they can hide by just looking for a big tree.

Wen Mian rushed back from the farmland, and Yun Zhou also brought back the wharf repair workers and arranged for them to hide in the cave.

There are many caves on the island. We cleared out a few and used them as defense caves.

There is water in the cave, which is enough for people to hide for a few days. If they cannot come out until they starve to death, it means that I am finished first, and they will die if they come out.

They are safe when I am here, and they are not safe anywhere when I am gone.

The sea soldiers of Haixianbao brought torches and oil, and they didn't intend to keep alive when they came.

The pirates have signed a contract. According to the rules of each country and island, I don't agree with them taking away the pirates, so they can't snatch people from the island.

Now they are the ones who broke the rules first, so of course they came here with the intention of destroying the door, so that no one will know that they broke the rules. Afterwards, it can be said that I took in the pirates, or colluded with the pirates. As long as we burn our bodies, we will die unjustly , and there is no reason for it.

The legend of Haixianbao is romantic and beautiful, but now their officials are not beautiful at all.

In fact, if they were willing to exchange the same amount of labor or prisoners with me, how could I refuse for a group of villains?

For the things the pirates did, [-] deaths would not be enough to pay off their blood debts. 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, it is purely lack of people to work.

Last time I reminded the envoy of Haixian Castle that what I need is labor, not pirates.

They don't know whether they don't understand, or they don't want to exchange.

In short, this trip, they intend to kill me and the pirates together.

The pirates were so scared at the beginning, they probably knew that I would not risk my life to protect them.

I sent the sea soldiers from Haixianbao to land. They were the sword and shield soldiers in front and the archers in the rear. They were divided into three teams and surrounded the office area, farmland area and the area under road construction.

The last time they came was during the meal time. They cooked in the open air, and there were many large pots cooking at the same time. They could tell where someone had a project by the smoke from the cooking.

There are watchmen on the masts of their ships, and there are simpler telescopes in this world.

Yun Zhou and Wen Mian stood beside me, one on the left and one on the right. The three of us stood on an ancient tree.

"Master, are you ready?" Wen Mian turned his wrist and asked, "Shall I beat them to death, or poison them to death?"

"Tsk, stop shouting and beating and killing. How can a teacher be easy to kill? Besides, so much free labor, don't want it for nothing. What's the use of me wanting a dead body?"

Only two-thirds of the sea soldiers in Haixianbao came, and one-third remained on the ship.

I'll have to wait to see if they will support the 'missing' colleague.

The sailors thought they could sit back and relax after taking the anti-drug pill, but they didn't know that the real "poison" was not in the flowers and trees.

They were invaded by air threads, and when they realized something was wrong, the team was already far away from the shore.

It must be too late to turn around and turn back, and there is no chance to send a signal. Let's just roar... The distance is too far, and the big ships at sea can't hear their voices.

Like the pirates, they fell in the grass, flowers, and forests.

Some pirates had evil intentions and wanted to take the opportunity to kill them, but as soon as they had evil intentions, they fell limp to the ground, the light in their eyes gradually dimmed, and they turned into thoughtless walking corpses.

I've punished pirates for trouble before, I've done that before, they know what it's like.

Violating the rules I set, the end is not to die, but to become a humanoid machine.

They will eat, drink and go to the toilet, but there is only a little memory in their minds, which is repetitive labor.

It's easy to die quickly, like a goldfish with only seven seconds of memory, doing simple actions repeatedly, without a trace of perception of the outside world, which makes the pirates feel scared.

It was the unknown fear of living unconsciously.

This kind of fear is not strong, but it is a blunt knife cutting flesh.

When the sailors landed on the island, there was no news. The warships at sea waited for a day, and at night they sent another team, about a hundred people, to sneak onto the island to spy on information.

Of course they came and went, and they seemed to be asleep when they lay down.

The warship was more cautious, and it lifted anchor and returned, and no one was sent to the island.

They sent people, but I sent people there.

The boating party will be discovered, I put an oxygen chamber on Wen Mian, and send him to the bottom of the warship from the sea.

There was someone guarding the boat, he was hanging on the side of the hull, the air thread he 'brought' climbed onto the ship and penetrated into the sea soldier's body, I stood on the shore, manipulated the air thread to interfere with the sea soldier's brain, and created opportunities for Wen Mian on board.

The sailors on that ship only lost their memory for a short time, and Wen Mian climbed onto the ship without getting wet, without leaving wet footprints, and no one discovered that he was hiding on the ship.

He went back to Haixian Castle with the warship, and he ran this trip to send a message to the city lord over there, and to get acquainted.

Biyi Island has become Treasure Island. The people on our side should let the people on the shore recognize it.

Wen Mian is my spokesperson. Sending letters is not enough. He followed the letter to serve as a deterrent.

I believe he is safe. When more than 1 sea soldiers came, one-third of them went back. They fled because they did not land on the island. The strength of Treasure Island lies here. As long as the city owner of Haixian Castle is not reckless, he will definitely guarantee Wen Mian came back safely.

If he really wanted to go to war, Wen Mian also had the ability to protect himself and run away by himself.

What's more, he has my healing energy in his body, so it is not easy to die.

Wen Mian came back quickly, and brought back a letter from the Lord of Haixian Castle. I opened it and read it. It was a letter of apology.

In addition to apologizing for his recklessness, he also promised to let the sailors who remained on the island work for me for free for three years.

Of course I know that these people cannot be killed, they are different from pirates, they are the officers and soldiers of Haixian Castle, killing them is tantamount to declaring war with Haixian Castle.

I gave the choice to the city lord over there. If he disagrees with the request in my letter, then we will fight directly, and Wen Mian will perform the beheading task.

If he agrees, then as a show of sincerity, he will put the sailors he sent to work with me. I will provide them with food and lodging for free, and after the three-year period expires, they will be released.

Also including the one-third that runs back, they have to come back.

The Lord of Haixian Castle agreed to all my requests, and Wen Mian brought back his autographed letter and handed it to the commander of the navy.

When the soldiers arrived and the ships returned, more than 1 sea soldiers from Haixianbao became the main force for road construction.

The pressure on food rations is greater if there are more people. I used the compensation money given by the fire princess to buy a lot of food.

Fortunately, the sea soldiers are managed by their chiefs, and they don't need to send another person to take care of them. They fetch water, receive food on time, and start work on time.

Pirates built roads on the east side of the island, and sailors built bridges on the west side of the island.

The two waves of people occupy both ends of the island, but there will be no conflict.

Mr. Kang led people to make the mixed soil for half a month. After other people in the team had memorized the formula ratio and preparation time, he went to other things, and the team independently carried out the soil making work.

The old man is getting old, although under my treatment, the disease has been completely cured, but after all, he is an old man, and his physical strength and energy are not enough.

He was only in charge of verbal assignments, and I specially arranged for two nurses to follow him.

The construction site was full of smoke and dust, so I asked a handy woman to sew some masks for Mr. Kang, as well as a helmet made of plant branches.

The workers on the construction site each have a hat. There are none who pull weeds and mud to build roads, and none who don't need to climb high to build short bridges.

When they came out of the underground palace, seeing that the island was in good condition, there were no mountains of corpses, no sea of ​​fire spreading, the first officer and the others were completely relieved this time.

When the first mate found me, he said in a very serious tone for the first time that he and the brothers on the ship were willing to work with me.

His tone and attitude made me feel awkward, as if I was going to join some black society/group.

I corrected him, not to do things, but to build a harmonious and beautiful homeland together.

"Yes yes yes, follow the island owner, you can't go wrong."

"You... well, Haixianbao won't come to find fault for the time being, you can help me contact a trustworthy sea merchant as soon as possible."

"Island owner, is there a candidate? There are ready-made ones, but there are some flaws. If you are in a hurry, I will let him come and try them out first?"

"Blemishes?" I didn't understand what his blemishes meant, did he refer to his body, his personality, or his bad habits?
"Cough, he can't speak, but it's not that he can't speak, it's that his speech is not pleasant, he just wants to say something. Of course, he is very strict about commercial secrets."

"Oh? Such a person can do business?" In my impression, businessmen are eloquent, slick, and generally have high emotional intelligence.

"There is ability."

The first mate spoke in a reserved manner, leaving half of what he said.

There is ability, but it is easy to offend people by speaking.

I am also in urgent need of manpower, and I am not only recruiting a 'manager', I asked the chief mate to send an invitation letter and invite him, an acquaintance, to come for an interview.

It is necessary to divide the dormitory, even if he brings a family of eight, the room photos are not wrong.

The island is very big, and what it lacks is popularity.

A few days later, another large ship sailed to our island.

It was used by the owner of Haixian Castle to exchange pirate labor with me.

He gathered more than 3000 criminals and sent them to the island to work instead of pirates.

He is so dedicated to catching pirates because many years ago, his youngest daughter's family was robbed by pirates at sea, her son-in-law and the crew on board died tragically, and her youngest daughter and granddaughter were taken to the pirate's lair.

At that time, one of the crew members was not completely dead. The bottom of the ship was gouged by the pirates. When the ship was sinking, he woke up, supported his body, untied an escape boat, and drifted back to the shore in a semi-conscious state.

Fortunately, he survived and reported the bad news to the city lord. The city lord was so angry that he vomited blood on the spot and summoned the sea soldiers to rescue his little daughter.

He and his wife gave birth to seven sons, and the third concubine gave birth to six sons for him. After finally looking forward to a daughter, he regarded it as a treasure and loved him extremely.

It's a pity that he still couldn't find the pirate's lair. Three months later, a fishing boat picked up a female corpse from the sea. The corpse was beyond recognition, with no clothes, jewelry or belongings.

However, the left arm of the corpse showed traces of rejoined broken bones, an old injury, and the right foot had six toes and a red mole on the sole of the foot.

The fisherman brought the body back to shore and handed it over to the local government.

The government issued a notice stating the characteristics of the corpse clearly, and soon someone went to claim the corpse.

The deceased was the youngest daughter of the castellan of Haixianbao, and the eldest son of the castellan claimed the body.

The city lord ordered people to search the sea area where the corpse was found for a year, but the pirate's lair was still not found.

In his reply to me, he described in detail his enmity with the pirates.
