Pirates from island owner to king

Because they don’t know what Ananda is doing over there, maybe they are facing trouble, or they are avoiding a dangerous moment.

Therefore, to avoid disturbing them by calling directly, the two parties agreed that Ananda would take the initiative to contact and report the progress every evening, no matter what happened.

While waiting, Wang Hai talked to Zhou Yu about today's situation.

Zhou Yu is responsible for cooperating with Shigetsuki Sasuke to lay traps for the southern defense line to prevent wild beasts from attacking.

"Although some beasts are smart, when we lay out a large number of traps in a covering style and build a trap defense line, we can stop most of the beasts..."

Zhou Yu expressed his appreciation for Wang Hai's trap defense plan. Although he is also a smart person, even smarter than most people, he has advanced talents in internal affairs.

But he was also born into a noble family and lived the life of a noble since he was a child. Even if he sympathized with the common people, he still considered issues from a high position rather than from the perspective of ordinary people.

To put it simply, in Wang Hai's eyes, Zhou Yu is better at government affairs and general strategies.

After all, there is still a lack of experience in some implementation details.

"After the problem of the defense line is temporarily solved, sir, what do you think we should choose for our next development?"

After talking about the defense line, Wang Hai asked a question.

If they lack strength, even if they use tactics, they will not be able to wipe out the beasts in the west in one fell swoop unless they pay a huge price.

In this way, we can only focus on consolidating the defense line.

Zhou Yu did not give an immediate answer, but said: "Actually, keeping those ferocious beasts in the west is not necessarily a bad thing."

Wang Hai: "?"

"Now, everything is moving in a good direction on Taoyuan Island, but it won't take long. As long as there are two good harvests this year, there will be no food crisis."

"Coupled with the fact that we learn about the turmoil in the outside world through newspapers every day, everyone will feel happy and stable."

"There's nothing wrong with that, but we have big plans and such stability may not be a good thing."

When Zhou Yu said this, Wang Hai already thought about what he was going to say and nodded slightly.

"It seems that the island owner has understood." Zhou Yu said happily.

"Once people are settled, it is easy to stay in their comfort zone. Not only do they stop moving forward, but they also lack the motivation to go further."

"So, at this time, some appropriate motivation is needed, and pressure can sometimes be transformed into motivation."

Zhou Yu's meaning is simple and clear, keep those ferocious beasts in the west and let the people on the island stay vigilant and enterprising.

Although this is not very kind to those who like a plain and stable life.

after all.

Once everyone around you becomes aggressive, those who want to stop and enjoy will either be eliminated or excluded.

The vast majority of people are social animals, and once faced with these two situations, they will become the bottom.

but.

Wang Hai had no intention of refusing to create pressure for their sake.

If Taoyuan Island wants to continue to develop and grow, he has carefully considered that it needs to continuously create upward momentum.

At the same time, appropriate external pressure is not a bad idea.

In this way, those ferocious beasts in the west are at best an external pressure on Taoyuan Island's development in the past two or three years.

The two continued chatting for a while, and finally came to the question he asked.

"Before we can expand our power, we need to improve the basics, including food, clothing, housing and transportation. We have only barely solved one of them, and the other is in the process of being solved."

"As for dressing and traveling, the former requires independent fabric production capabilities, while the latter mainly needs to consider the situation on the island."

"So, the bicycle that the island owner planned before is a good choice..."

Listening to Zhou Yu's suggestion, Wang Hai knew that he and his ideas were basically the same.

They all start from the practical perspective of survival and life. If we can't solve these problems, of course we can't talk about anything else.

Regarding the purchase of bicycles, Zhou Yu is already in contact.

The new world is closer, but it is too chaotic and the intelligence channels are not open. There is no news for the time being.

Xihai, on the other hand, turned out to be from the Flower Country of the Xihai. Of course, there would be no intelligence channels left in the Xihai.

Zhou Yu has arranged for people to contact Xihai. Due to the turmoil and the large number of requests, it will take a certain amount of time to contact and arrange.

Finally, there are funding and transportation issues to consider.

Wang Hai originally thought that tens of millions of Baileys was a lot of money, but after the pension was paid, although the funds began to flow back through the Wang family's industrial products.

However, it's still not enough.

For example, he had previously planned to purchase dozens of tons of iron. At this time, even if he could find a channel, he would probably need hundreds of millions of beli.

To buy a bicycle, with the price of steel rising now, I am afraid that just an ordinary model will cost more than [-] beli.

Originally, he planned to buy a thousand vehicles directly, but now he can only buy two to three hundred vehicles.

If Taoyuan Island wants to develop, it is obviously impossible to just dig from inside the island. It is inevitable to purchase many things from the outside world.

Therefore, his funds are far from enough.

He also needs to develop a money-making channel and project. What exactly it is, he needs to carefully consider.

Zhou Yu’s suggestion is food.

As long as the land within a few kilometers in the southeast area near Taoyuan Town is reclaimed and planted with high-yielding grains developed from red peppers, a large amount of grains can be produced in at most two to three years.

In this turbulent era, food will never be worried about not being sold, and it can be sold at a high price.

Wang Hai nodded, but did not agree immediately.

The grain business may be good, but in his opinion it's still not enough.

The most important thing is that food is his guarantee to attract more people.

The two of them didn't have to wait too long. As the phone buzzed, Ananda was contacted.

"Island owner, I am Ananda, can you hear me?"

"Uncle, I can hear you. Are you okay?"

"We are fine, everything is going well and we are now mining at the mining site..."

Ananda reported the situation in detail.

The mining site is in a cave, where a ferocious beast originally lived, but now it has become their dinner.

There is a lot of shallow iron ore in the cave, which is of good quality and easy to mine.

Everyone in their group is very strong, especially the two school-level forces Ananda and Thor, who can easily dig out a large amount of ore.

If the beasts were not particularly active at night, they could even dig enough ore to return in a few hours, almost late at night.

Now, we can only stay in the cave for one night and return during the day tomorrow.

Wang Hai and Zhou Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

After repeatedly telling Ananda to be careful, the two parties ended the call.

"Tonight, you can sleep well."

"That's right, I'll wait for good news from Ananda tomorrow."

After Zhou Yu left, Wang Hai went to tell Adele not to worry.

Then I came back and practiced Pure Yang Wuji Kung Fu for two hours before taking a rest.

the other side.

In the west of Taoyuan Island, at the entrance of a cave, Ananda carefully put away the phone bug.

"Ananda, come quickly, we are in trouble." Suddenly, Thor's anxious cry came from the cave.
