Xianyu Infrastructure, I have a lot of troops in my hands

This discovery was like water dropped into a frying pan, and the crowd exploded.

"real!"

"That looks like the word 'Thank you'. Is it someone from the imperial court?"

Everyone's hearts became lively, and a little light returned to their eyes. They thought that the imperial navy and they could go home now.

"Woo woo, grandma is so good. I saw my daddy, and King Shark is gone too, haha."

"Don't be too happy too soon. There is no imperial dragon flag on that ship. Will the imperial navy care about us, the lowly people?"

They lived by the sea all year round, and they were very familiar with the appearance of the court's navy. Those people were just one flag away from being bandits.

"No matter which family you belong to, as long as you can take us back, what does it matter if we work like slaves?"

There was a commotion on the shore, with people crying and laughing.

"Huh? Why is Zhao Gen's grandson missing?"

At this moment, Zhao Gen had already run two miles. When he saw the changes on the boat, he knew that his thigh was gone. Why didn't he run here and wait for death?

Although this island is not big, it is still enough to hide one person.

After climbing over a hill, Zhao Gen ran straight towards the Shark King's treasure cave.

Although he had never been inside this cave, it was the most heavily guarded place on the island. Before leaving, he had to go and explore it a few times, otherwise he would be in big trouble.

As expected, when they ran to the front of the cave, the pirates guarding the gate had long disappeared, all the boxes inside had been knocked to the ground, and all the gold, silver and jewelry had been looted.

Only a few dying women were left, left on the ground and ignored.

"These bastards are so quick!" He regretted coming so late and took out a few copper coins from the corner of the box and put them in his pocket.

After exiting the cave, he looked in the direction and ran towards a rocky area.

But before they reached the place, they saw from afar a small boat emerging from a rock cave with three figures on it, paddling frantically towards the land.

"Wait for me! Wait, oh my god, it's over!" Zhao Gen shouted, but swallowed it back halfway.

The small boat was less than two hundred meters away from the island when it was blocked by two bulging rafts. The three pirates were held at knifepoint and went obediently towards the big ship.

Zhao Gen lay in the grass and witnessed the whole process. There was no way out of the island today. Even the boat was caught. He could only hide for the time being.

"Hey, this boat is quite full. I hope all the gold and silver of the Shark King have not been taken away!" said the guard on the raft with a smile.

"I guess so. It's just right. It saves the brothers from being tired and having to make a special trip to the shore. Hehe."

The three bandits had bruised faces and noses, and they rowed resignedly. Two rafts floated slowly behind them. One of them held a crossbow in his hand, staring at them with a vague look, which made them tremble with fear. The Shark King was in great danger.

"Captain Wu is right. If we don't send a small boat to guard this tiny island, they will really take advantage of it."

At the beginning, Yongji sent their three teams to guard the south side of the island. They thought it was just a normal guard, but they didn't expect to actually catch three golden rats.

"Tell me, where did the captain get so many rafts?" They usually run boats, and the Cui family's three large ships would at most bring a small wooden boat for landing in places that are difficult to get ashore.

Someone who knew the inside story glanced at him and said, "Who do you think prepared this raft? It was prepared by the lady for us boatmen."

"This thing is convenient and durable, and it's not heavy to carry on the boat. Most importantly, it can save lives at the critical moment." When Xie Xian gave them the thing yesterday, they were all stunned.

I saw lamb-sized leather bags being unfolded, inflated, and tied to a bamboo frame. Sixteen leather bags formed a raft that could carry three or four adults.

When not in use, the sheepskin raft can be rolled up to the size of a palm. When in use, it can be inflated to the size of a sheep. It has good buoyancy and is light and does not take up space.

We made three such sheepskin rafts and they came in handy today.

The most important thing is, I heard from my wife that this inflated sheepskin can be taken apart and tied around a person to save lives. If you tie one around the waist of a person who cannot swim, you will not sink.

In Xie Xian's opinion, isn't it normal to have a lifeboat on board?

When the guards mentioned Xie Xian, they stood in awe: "We are so lucky to have a lady who cares so much about us."

"I'm not good at swimming and can't swim far." Someone lowered his head. These people have been stationed at the border all year round and are not good at water battles.

The sergeant behind him slapped him and said, "Just study hard, don't be afraid of anything. Go back and copy the military regulations a few more times."

"No, Boss!"

The guards chatted and laughed as they headed towards the eight-slot ship.

The Shark King's treasure has been obtained, and now the only issue left is the resettlement of these villagers.

Yongji frowned. This group of fishermen had been abducted for more than half a year, and their fishing village was probably gone long ago.

Years ago, Emperor Qi ordered a maritime ban, and many villages along the coast were forced to move inland.

It was estimated that the people in their village were abducted before the order to relocate was given, so when they heard Yongji's words, they immediately looked as if the sky had fallen.

"Our Zhaojia Village has been making a living in Nanwan for generations. How can we just leave like that?"

When they heard that they could be sent back to the village, they were overjoyed. However, when they heard the imperial court's maritime ban order, they burst into tears again.

Some elderly people were holding on, waiting for good news, but they didn't expect to be left homeless.

Several people fainted and the villagers were suddenly in chaos. Yongji asked the guards to bring down two bags of corn and cook thick porridge for everyone to fill their stomachs while he discussed other things.

"Mom, Da Wa, his mother is still alive!" Zhao San was happy that his wife was still alive. She had just been captured for half a month and was so thin that she was unrecognizable. However, he was determined that once he could make money, he would definitely take care of his family.

"Where's my mother? Woohoo, where is my mother?"

When Da Wa heard the news about his mother, the tears that had just stopped bursting out again.

Zhao San hurriedly said, "Your mother was too weak and was sent to the ship to recuperate."

When he first saw his wife, Zhao San thought she was dead. Unexpectedly, Yongji told him that there was a doctor on the ship who could take a look.

As early as when he knew that Zhao San was a lookout, Yongji made up his mind to treat him well, as such talents were rare.

Seeing his mother and the eldest child's expressions change, Zhao San smiled and comforted them, "Don't worry, mother. The Shark King has committed a crime, and now my new owner treats me very well."

As soon as the word "new boss" came out, the old woman was visibly relieved. As long as her son was still useful, her daughter-in-law would be fine.

When they found out that the black stone white tiger flag belonged to the Xie family's Black Stone Guard, they felt relieved.

These days, prestigious aristocratic families are much more reliable than the imperial court. Some of the common people would rather follow the aristocratic families to beg for food than face the imperial court's vicious officials, where one mistake could lead to the destruction of their families.
