Chapter 109 Building a Village
This trip to Donghai Village made Yu Xiaotian earn a lot of money again and took back a large number of goods from Zhou Cheng's nest. There were more than 2,000 taels of yellow and white things alone, including about 100 taels of gold and nearly 2,000 taels of silver. In addition, there are many precious silk and satin and exquisite porcelain and lacquerware, once If you take action, it's worth it.
In addition to these physical objects, they also got more than a dozen meat tickets in a cellar behind the ancestral hall. This time, they were also brought back by the ship by the way. In addition, they also caught eleven Zhou Cheng's men, and one of them was also tied back.
After returning to Treasure Island, Yu Xiaotian saw that Liu Laoliu, Zhao Mazi and others had taken the people left on the island and began to sort out their stations. The burned houses had been knocked down and cleaned up.
After seeing Yu Xiaotian return safely with the ship, everyone was so excited that they unloaded the goods of the ship to the shore and put them into the warehouse.
As for the meat tickets tied by Zhou Cheng, Yu Xiaotian arranged them in a corner of Treasure Island to watch alone. After screening the rest of the prisoners, on the way back, Yu Xiaotian rescued two of the evil guys under Meng Fei's identification. After a knife, he Their bodies were thrown into the sea to feed fish, and the remaining nine people fell to Yu Xiaotian without saying a word. After being returned by Yu Xiaotian, they were also sent to the nearby island for isolation and training.
After this experience, Yu Xiaotian no longer dares to ignore the defense of Treasure Island. If they hunt again, once they are copied by the nest again, all the efforts ahead will be in the ass of them.
So after returning this time, Yu Xiaotian stopped thinking about going to sea and hunting for the time being, and began to concentrate on the establishment of a fortress on Treasure Island.
And to set up a village on the island, the project is much larger than building a village, and many factors need to be taken into account. In addition to building perfect living facilities in the stockade, we should also consider the problem of defense and the problem of the dock going to sea.
Yu Xiaotian once again carefully inspected the small Treasure Island and finally decided to build their stockade based on the existing residence and extend it out to the northeast bay, building a trestle deep into the bay and directly connecting it to the stockade.
For good, although the Treasure Island is small, the fresh water source is very abundant, and the underground springs are constantly gushing out of the rock crevices, providing sufficient fresh water supply for the people of the island.
And in the northeast of Treasure Island, which is close to their residence, is a natural depression in the island. Although it is not a natural port, once it encounters a typhoon, it is also a good shelter, just as their dock.
All of this can basically meet their needs for building a stockade. As long as it is well planned, there is no problem to build a small stockade that can meet the needs of life and have a certain degree of defense function.
So Yu Xiaotian found a pen and paper, personally drew a plan of the stockade, and made a detailed plan for the stockade. Although the stockade he planned was not big, it was fully functional. The living area and the warehouse were separated, and in the stockade, there were two horizontal and two roads and a gate were left. And a water gate, as well as a guarded arrow tower and lighthouse.
Although Yu Xiaotian didn't learn this, he couldn't help planning a small village. One day, the planning map of a water village appeared on paper and appeared in front of everyone.
However, planning is not easy if it is really implemented. The biggest problem is that the materials on Treasure Island are limited, and the manpower is also very limited. Even if the stockade is not large, it is not easy to build it in a short time.
Yu Xiaotian continued to take stock of what they had at hand. At present, he has more than 70 people, and there are also a small number of women with a population of less than 80.
And they now have four boats. In addition to the bird boat they used as a safari, they also captured a sand boat this time, and also captured a broken bird boat. In addition to the earliest broken fishing boat on Xiaohuangdao, they have many boats, but there is only one that is really useful. Tiao, the bird boat that took away from Zhoucheng did not dare to use it again without a major repair after returning from this trip to sea.
He can solve the problem of manpower by himself for the time being, but the material problem of Treasure Island is not easy to solve for a while. The wood they snatched this time is all valuable wood. It would be a pity if it is used as a fortress, a walled house or a trestle.
Although there are many stones on the island, if they want to use stone as the material to build the village, they only have only one craftsman who can mine stone, but they lack tools and will take a long time. Therefore, in a short period of time, they still have to use wood as the main material for building the village.
After some consideration, Yu Xiaotian decided to send Zhao Mazi to go to Dalian Island again, give some of the wood they seized during this period and the materials obtained from Zhou Cheng's nest to the Li family, and buy a large number of cheap wood from the Li family as materials for their village, and another batch of Iron and woodworking tools.
Now that the horse's face is gone, only Yu Xiaotian has the final say. When he makes a decision, he will naturally not be restrained. Liu Laoliu, Zhao Mazi and others immediately agreed to his decision and began to take action.
After this incident, Zhang Blacksmith also shared difficulties with the sea wolves. After learning that Yu Xiaotian was going to set up a village on Treasure Island, he actually took the initiative to put forward some suggestions and let Yu Xiaotian plan a craftsman area for him in the corner of the village as a future activity area for their craftsmen.
Yu Xiaotian's opinion on Zhang's blacksmith's opinion was as good and agreed to it all, which made Zhang's blacksmith very satisfied and felt that it was still respected here. So after it was settled, he took his adopted son, and Yu Xiaotian arranged two more hands for him to serve as his apprentices and start working on the island.
Zhang's craftsmanship is good. Creating some tools and nails is a piece of cake for him. It didn't take long for him to create a lot of tools and various construction things such as nails from his small blacksmith's shop.
And this time, more than 20 Zhou Cheng's men captured were originally Liu Laoliu's opinion to directly let them start working as helpers on the island, but after Yu Xiaotian thought about it, he flatly rejected their proposal and ordered Han Xian and Luo Xianbin to continue to use the methods he used to step up on these guys. Practice, and also shaved them to bald heads and perform "standard cleaning procedures"
So the previous group of guys were happy, and now some people accompanied them. There are not many people with bare heads on the island now. When they don't wear a headscarf, at a glance, Treasure Island is almost like a monk's temple.
In Xiaotian's view, although the matter of establishing the fortress is very urgent, its importance cannot exceed the transformation of these newcomers. If the newcomers cannot be transformed and put into use, it will become a hidden danger among them in the future. No matter how nervous they are, this process cannot be saved. Therefore, he not only asked Han Xian and Luo Xianbin to strictly discipline these guys, but also went to the isolation camp on the island every day to directly participate in the drill for those guys.
As a result, this group of Zhou Cheng's old department. After arriving here, all the trained people turned upside down and complained bitterly, but the advantage was that they soon understood the rules of the sea wolf and began to become much more honest and followed the rules.
After ten days of training, these guys also tried to resist. Two of them even tried to encourage others to rebel with them, killed Han Xian and Luo Xianbin, and then swam to the gold and silver island to grab the boat and escape. As a result, their plan was immediately announced.
After Yu Xiaotian learned about it, he immediately ordered the two to be arrested, beheaded them in public, and threw their bodies into the sea. They immediately shocked the remaining part of the wrong-minded people and made them completely honest.
In the next month, Zhao Mazi took the flat sand boat back and forth between Treasure Island and Dalian Island several times, purchased a large number of wood from the Li family, and finally met the needs of Xiaotian's village.
Then Yu Xiaotian also ended the isolation training for those Zhou Cheng's old departments, took them under his command, became the sea wolf's trainees, and was organized into the team.
During this period, Yu Xiaotian also took time to screen the meat tickets of more than a dozen men and women brought back. Among them, several young women were basically civilian girls who were taken by Zhou Cheng from the coast. When they were in Donghai Village, they served as tools for their release and desire. Because Because of the stain on their bodies, they are ashamed to go home again, and even refuse to tell them where their home is.
Yu Xiaotian learned from Liu Laoliu that once a woman like them is kidnapped and spoiled by pirates, even if she is redeemed by her family in the future, she will be despised by her fellow villagers. It is difficult to marry people, and even her family can't tolerate them, and she will often be forced to a dead end. Her fate is very tragic.
So after Yu Xiaotian thought about it and appeased the women, he also accepted these women, left them on Treasure Island, handed them over to Zhao Mazi's wife's management, and betrothed them to his wives in the future. If he can stand firm at sea, for these women in the future, It's also a way out.
After these women arrived at Treasure Island, they found that the sea wolves here were very disciplined. Unlike Zhou Cheng, they did not treat them as people and spoil them anytime and anywhere. So they gradually calmed down and stayed on the island and began to help the sea wolves wash and cook and do what they could.
