After the immortal disappeared

Being able to play like this not only reflects the outstanding resource endowment of the Yangshan Islands, but also shows that He Lingchuan's efforts have begun to bear fruit.

Most importantly, he gained something more important than money:

Population, labor force, military.

And a system that is running increasingly smoothly and efficiently.

During the peak palm harvest season, there are more than 10,000 people on the Yangshan Islands. They saw and experienced life on the island with their own eyes, and were convinced that evil spirits would no longer be a problem here.

Yangshan Islands offers them favorable conditions. As long as they rent land on the islands, they will receive tax and housing discounts.

At this time, the war between Bailie and Yaguo has not yet ended. The turbulent situation and severe taxes have made many civilians/refugees yearn for a quiet and secluded life.

Therefore, after the palm season ended, nearly 5,000 migrant workers chose to stay on the island, most of them with their families.

This number far exceeded He Lingchuan's estimate.

After all, the Yangshan Islands are being developed and built so that everyone can find a job.

In this world, most people are satisfied if they can make money through work and have enough food for their wives and children.

As for the army, with pirates and Bailong people as the basis, He Lingchuan tightened the recruitment conditions and selected the best and strongest, but the number soon exceeded 2,300.

The Rongshan people, led by Qiu Hu, stepped up their team's training.

He Lingchuan followed the practices of Panlong City and Yuheng City and introduced a reward system in the Yangshan Guards. Players who win or lead in drills, confrontations, competitions and some actual battles will receive generous rewards.

He Lingchuan himself was a Panlong patrol officer. He had risen to the top through his military exploits. He was very familiar with the design of this system and could make it without much effort.

As for the rewards, it's even easier. In addition to skills, gold and silver, food, elixirs and materials, blind boxes can also be exchanged.

Recently, the salvage team has been finding various gadgets from shipwrecks and pirate treasures in the sea. He Lingchuan thought that the auction of these bits and pieces was too troublesome, so he simply threw them into the military merit system to enrich the prize pool. Everyone redeems the blind box, and you can get a little gold and silver at a guaranteed price. Sometimes you can also get magic weapons and jewelry, which is dazzling.

He Lingchuan's original intention was to save himself some money, but as soon as this thing was launched, everyone went crazy. Some people don't exchange anything, and they accumulate military merit every day waiting to exchange for the blind box.

Gambling nature, gambling nature is hidden in human nature.

Qiu Hu had no choice but to stipulate that each person could only redeem one box every half month to avoid putting the cart before the horse.

He Lingchuan, Qiu Hu and others all knew that training the team and improving combat effectiveness were top priorities.

The richer the Yangshan Islands are, the more jealous people there are. The sooner they have the ability to defend themselves and fight back, the safer they will be.

When He Lingchuan crossed the ocean and came here, there were only a dozen or so people around him; a few months later, the permanent residents of the Yangshan Islands, plus the army, numbered close to 8,000.

Starting from nothing is always the hardest thing.

The daily life and production of these thousands of people, the development of Yangshan Islands' products, and foreign economic and trade exchanges all require dedicated personnel to take care of them.

The improvised team under him is also rapidly adapting, growing and growing.

These are not things that can be exchanged for simple gold and silver, but they are important links in his future vision.

Therefore, this autumn and winter, if you don’t lose money, you will make a lot of money.

Now, besides money, there is only one thing he urgently needs:

Talent.

His stall will definitely grow bigger and bigger, and there will be more and more things to take care of. The few people under him are simply not enough. Therefore, He Lingchuan needs talents from all walks of life. They must not only be experienced and capable, but also young!

The Yangshan Islands are in a period of growth and development. What they want is not stability and comfort, but vitality, vigor and impetus.

In He Lingchuan's words, he can work overtime until late at night and be energetic when the rooster crows the next day.

Where can I find such talent?

Ding Zuodong asked his boss this question, but He Lingchuan waved his hand: "I have spread the hero message widely and asked some old acquaintances to come and help."

After thinking about it, it must be the many Taixue students he made friends with when he traveled to Bejia!

Lingxu City Imperial College and other universities attract students from all over the world. Among them, students from Mou State and other small and medium-sized countries account for more than half.

He Lingchuan paid attention to the selection at that time, and now this kindness will finally come in handy.

I hope his drunkenness and lavish spending at that time were worth it.

…

On the same day, Fang Canran asked someone to send He Lingchuan a piece of information - now, he is an important source of information on the Yangshan Islands.

He Lingchuan scanned the information and quickly relayed it to the spider demon sisters:

"Good news, great news, great news! Madam and Erniang, your wanted order has been cancelled!"

Before the Spider Sisters could react, Dong Rui's voice rang out first: "Huh? When did it happen?"

"The first-hand news just came from the west..." He Lingchuan frowned, "Why did you go to Pansi Island when you didn't wait for me on Alfalfa Island?"

This guy had a large island to himself, and He Lingchuan also sent a few followers to serve as his apprentices and assistants.

"I'm here to drink tea and hang out, can't I?"

"..." Is there tea in Zhu Erniang's crypt? Who will make it?

"I'm asking Er Niang for some materials for research." Dong Rui quickly returned to the topic, "You said Er Niang was removed from the wanted list?"

"Yes, it was canceled about a month ago."

Dong Rui laughed out loud immediately, but Aunt Zhu was a little depressed: "Just to be removed from the list?"

It was originally ranked second in the rankings, and it was quite popular when people talked about it, but now its title is gone.

Dong Rui smiled from ear to ear.

He used to be on Bejia's wanted list, but later the Shuangye Imperial Master helped him remove his name, and he became an amateur.

These two guys around him were ranked first and second in the rankings, which made him very unhappy.

It's fine now, Zhu Erniang has also been removed from the list, just like him.

He Lingchuan said leisurely: "Only the number one on the list is here and will remain standing."

Zhu Erniang couldn't hide her contempt: "What's there to be proud of! Isn't it great news that Bejia has called off the pursuit?"

It really doesn't understand the brain circuits of these three guys.

And it also has doubts: "Is there a scam? Does Bega want us to relax our vigilance?"

He Lingchuan smiled and said: "The possibility is very small."

Aunt Zhu interjected: "You beat up Yu Zecheng's men, so why did Bejia cancel our wanted order?"

It couldn't figure out the logic of this.

If he had known that Bega liked to be tortured so much, he would have taken action long ago.

"It may not want to pursue the case." He Lingchuan analyzed, "It won't be able to catch it anyway."

Dong Rui also found it unbelievable: "Is it so flexible? Then it loses face?"

"The state can be very flexible as long as it wants." He Lingchuan shrugged, "Allowing Zhu Erniang to occupy such a high position for a long time will only make it more embarrassing. There are rumors outside that Bejia can't work hard now. The first and second rankings are on the list every year, but what should I do if I can't catch them? Just cancel them. This is called pragmatism."

Zhu Erniang asked: "Does this mean that we are all safe? Bejia doesn't plan to do anything to you?"

"At least that's the case in a short period of time." He Lingchuan said seriously, "I don't know how Shuangye Imperial Master did it, but he did it anyway. The cancellation of this wanted order can be seen as Beijia accepting your statement and not planning to do it again for the time being. Take action against you and the Yangshan Islands."

Dong Rui gave a long whistle.

But He Lingchuan then said: "But the crisis is not over yet. This news only shows that Bejia is too lazy to pay attention to us."

Aunt Zhu asked curiously: "Who else do you care about?"

This kid is fearless. He dares to offend even Bega. Who else will he take seriously?

"Grandmaster Frostleaf."

When the name was spoken, everyone fell silent.

He Lingchuan plotted against Shuangye Imperial Master, wouldn't the other party argue with him?

After a while, a servant came to report:

"Sodin Island is receiving two distinguished guests, their surname is Dou. They said they came from afar at your invitation."

He Lingchuan perked up and said, "Brother Dou is here?"

Of course, Ding Zuodong didn't know who those people were, and the soul-catching mirror said "oh": "Where are they?"

Its memory is good.

He Lingchuan went to the supply depot to greet them in person, but he couldn't find them after looking around twice, and finally saw the Dou brothers in the dining hall.

They are both tall and thin, in their twenties, and have somewhat similar looks.

One is eating yellow croaker noodles, and the other is concentrating on mackerel dumplings.

He Lingchuan walked quickly and clasped his fists first: "Oh, a distinguished guest is here! It's been a long time since you two have seen each other!"

"Congratulations, brother!" As soon as the two men saw He Lingchuan, they dropped their chopsticks, stood up, and returned the greeting.

He Lingchuan said enthusiastically: "We haven't seen each other for more than a year. Are you two okay?"

These two brothers were the friends he had made while traveling in Lingxu City. Dou Wenguan and Dou Wuxing were both originally students of Lingxu Imperial Academy, but they came from the Shahe River Basin on the edge of Mou State.

He Lingchuan had traveled with them no less than four times, and he knew these two people quite well.

He had always remembered the two brothers, but he asked someone to inquire about them, huh? The Dou brothers have returned to Shahe.

So he immediately wrote a letter asking them to "come to help", and his words were quite sincere.

The letter was sent to nothing but nothing happened. He originally thought that the Dou brothers didn't want to come, and originally planned to invite them again during the Chinese New Year, but he didn't know...

Dou Wuxing just chewed something in his mouth and didn't reply. He Lingchuan was not surprised that he was dull and introverted. Dou Wenguan laughed and said, "Toefl, toefl! This is how I live my life."

His answer was measured. He Lingchuan said that they were distinguished guests, but the two brothers actually came to He Lingchuan. If you say you are doing well, then why do you come to Yangshan Islands?

He patted the noodle bowl: "Boss He, have you ever eaten the yellow croaker noodles from this restaurant? It tastes very good." The best part is that it only costs five copper coins.

Large portion, delicious, and great value for money.

"Why not? I hired this cook from the tavern in Blade Port. He has been making yellow croaker noodles for twenty-five years. Within a hundred miles, no one makes soup that is more delicious than his!"
