The Queen of Pirates is King

After more than a month of turmoil in the Kingdom of Akatsuki, it gradually stabilized, and the lives of the people were the first to return to normal. They didn't care who the king was, as long as they could live in peace.

The biggest change in the kingdom is the new policy issued by the royal palace. There are not many contents, only three.

The first policy is to abolish the aristocratic system. There is no longer a class division between nobles and commoners in the kingdom, and there is no need to bow to the former nobles.

This policy has aroused great repercussions, and the common people maintain a skeptical attitude, and still dare not show disrespect to the previous aristocratic class.

The aristocratic group exploded completely, but those who dared to express their opinions were all hung on the tree waiting to dry, and the rest dared not speak out.

The second policy is to conduct a population census, with the village as the unit, and the population of each household must be reported to the supervisory office in the nearest town, and the birth of a child or the death of an elderly person must also be registered.

In order to encourage the enthusiasm of the common people, Bai Yang specially ordered that those who take the initiative to register can receive a small gift, such as a bag of eggs, rice, oil and salt, etc.

The effect was immediate, and every family was afraid that they were a step too late and could not get the things.

After the preliminary statistics are completed, the office staff will go door to door to verify the situation. In short, the workload is heavy.

The last policy had greater repercussions, and the whole kingdom was excited about it. It was about the issue of land.

The land that was suitable for farming was basically in the hands of the nobles, but now it is all forcibly expropriated, and then leased to each family at a super low price in the name of the kingdom, and the sale of land is prohibited.

This policy made the common people cheer. They couldn't believe that the rent paid to the kingdom was less than one-tenth of the previous one, and it was given to them for nothing.

The situation in the kingdom is very good, and the cohesion has soared, but there are also many potential problems, such as the source of income of the kingdom.

Reducing the oppression of civilians will naturally have a huge impact on the kingdom's economy, and the fiscal deficit is frighteningly high. After all, the current social form of the Kingdom of Akatsuki is still in the middle ages, and agriculture is the mainstay.

Now it is all supported by Xiao's financial resources, but Xiao's treasury is limited, and the wealth of more than 100 billion Berries, under the consumption of a bottomless pit, cannot last for a few years, and must find other ways to make money.

Among the Four Seasons Islands, Chun Island is a plain landform with a warm and humid climate, making it the most suitable for human habitation and agricultural development.

The geography of Xiadao is also very superior. It belongs to the tropical rainforest climate, with rapid vegetation growth and high precipitation. The terrain is similar to a basin, with many rivers and lakes. It is the place with the most fresh water in the four islands.

The terrain of Autumn Island is undulating, and it belongs to the hilly area. The living environment is worse than that of the Spring and Summer Islands, and it is more suitable for animal husbandry.

On the other hand, there are many snow-capped mountains in Dongdao, and Bai Yang didn't find anything to develop there for the time being.

The port in the northwest of Akishima used to be a military seaport. As the fleet was destroyed by poplar, the seaport is in a semi-abandoned state.

But at this moment, nearly ten thousand soldiers gathered near the harbor, working in full swing. The quarried stone and the wood from Xiadao were piled up like a mountain, as well as the steel materials that had been transported continuously.

These steels are all finished products and are available in various types. Baiyang recycles steel resources from the entire country. Even the weapons and armors of the army are collected here, ready to be smelted and made into rails.

Returning from the capital of seven waters, Bai Yang immediately took Bingshan and the shipwrights to visit the port.

He intends to build a large number of factories in Akishima, similar to the capital of water, to develop into a purely industrialized island, and the steel forging factory and shipyard are just one of them.

As for the people of Qiudao, Bai Yang planned to let them move to live in Spring and Summer Islands and build a new city.

Bai Yang pointed to the area where the materials were piled up, and said, "This is your workplace, and the port over there is your temporary residence."

"Here"

Bingshan was stunned, and so were the other shipwrights. There was a large flat land in front of him. Except for the accumulated materials and workers, there was no wall, and everything had to start from scratch.

"It's here. I hope to build the steel factory within two months. Bingshan, you are the top person in charge here. If you have any needs, just ask. I will do my best to meet your needs in terms of manpower and material resources."

Bai Yang looked forward to the fact that the construction of the iron and steel factory is urgent, and the materials and manpower are ready. As long as Bingshan designs a plan, it can be put into construction immediately.

"Thank you Mr. Bai Yang for your trust. I will definitely do my best."

Bingshan responded firmly, with an extremely heavy heart. Whether it is building a factory or managing nearly [-] workers, it is an extremely difficult task.

Bai Yang nodded and looked at the other shipwrights: "Which of you can survey the ore veins?"

"I can"

A man with messy hair stepped forward and said, "My name is Bipli Lulu. I am good at blacksmithing and have some research on ores."

"Fine, come with me."

Bai Yang felt that Qiaofa Nan looked familiar, as if he was one of the five foremen in the future, a talent.

Half an hour later, Bai Yang took Bipley to a nearby island, about [-] to [-] nautical miles away from Four Seasons Island, and it was a deserted island.

"Look at the terrain first, and if you think there may be a vein, just let me know."

Surveying resource islands is one of the most urgent problems in the Kingdom of Akatsuki. In order to save time, Bai Yang personally went to battle as a means of transportation.

Flying in the sky with Bipley, after a while, Bipley pointed to a mountainous area: "There may be mineral veins in that terrain."

Bipley was actually very confused. How could anyone find such veins? To survey metal veins, you must use professional tools, and it takes a lot of time and energy. No matter how lucky you are, it will take a few months.

But the next scene almost made his eyes pop out.

Bai Yang maintained his dragon form, took a deep breath, and then exhaled violently. The hurricane formed a huge wind blade and slashed at the ground.

"boom"

The ground shook and the mountains shook, and a huge gully appeared at the position Bipley pointed to, which was tens of meters deep, and the rock formations on the cut surface were very clear.

Bai Yang exhaled and asked, "Is it deep enough? If it's not deep enough, I'll make another shot."

"Almost, let me observe first."

Sweat broke out on Bipley's brow, the king was terrifyingly strong, and he acted too casually.

For the next half month, Bai Yang spent all his food, clothing, housing, and transportation on the construction site. In addition to looking for resource islands, he also helped build factories, so he was very busy.

The construction of the factory was very fast, the frame had already come out, Bingshan quickly became familiar with the working process, and did everything by himself, his face was tanned.

Erza and the others occasionally come to visit and discuss the progress of the kingdom by the way.

A total of 20 soldiers remained, most of which were busy reclaiming wasteland, and the remaining half were busy quarrying and logging, and laying brick and stone roads to connect various towns.

The entire Kingdom of Akatsuki is completely busy, racing against time.One Piece: The Emperor is the King is updated the fastest.
