Speaking of which, Lin Niangzi started paying attention to Zhou Wu when he first came to the Moon Man Kingdom for trade. Lin Niangzi was also at the Moon Man Kingdom dock at that time. At that time, Li Niangzi was transforming her career by leading the Yellow Pirates, so she also came to the Moon Man Kingdom to see if there were any opportunities. Unexpectedly, she met Zhou Wu.

The massive ship led by Zhou Wu not only shocked the Moon Man, but also stunned Madam Lin and her men. Having made their living at sea for so many years, this was the first time they had ever seen such a large ship. Madam Lin immediately became interested in Zhou Wu and then kept a close eye on him, sending people to inquire about him from various sources. Madam Lin eventually learned a little about everything related to Zhou Wu.

"Is the leader referring to Zhou Wu from Niujia Village?"

The strategist served two leaders, one was Lady Lin and the other was Lady Lin's father. He was extremely loyal to the Yellow Pirates and knew both leaders very well. He was also the only other member of the Yellow Pirates besides Lady Lin who fully supported them in seeking a new path.

"Yes, everyone has heard of Niujia Village, right? Lord Zhou Wu led Niujia Village to develop to its current state in less than two years. It has become a large-scale integrated enterprise encompassing marine trade, marine fishing, agriculture, and commerce. The population has grown from less than a hundred to several thousand. Now, city walls have even been built. Who can compare to him?"

Niujia Village has been making waves lately. Everyone who makes a living at sea knows that they've made a fortune through maritime trade and fishing. However, they encountered the White Skull Pirates and easily wiped them out, causing the White Skull Pirates to drop to the last of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Therefore, all pirate crews now know that the alliance between White Skull's Black Dragon and Red Hair is not only to deal with Ox Village, but also because Black Dragon wants to use Red Hair to maintain his status as a Shichibukai. Otherwise, once White Skull is squeezed out of the Shichibukai, it will inevitably attract pirates from other forces to swallow him up.

“Girl, you’re still young, and you might misjudge people sometimes. Think things through more carefully, and don’t drag these old brothers down with you.”

These words immediately garnered support from some people, leaving Madam Lin in a dilemma.

The speaker was from Li Niangzi's father's generation, named Cang Quan. Although Li Niangzi was now the leader, she still had to politely address him as Uncle Cang. However, this man had been openly and secretly opposing Lin Niangzi, causing the Yellow Pirates to split into two factions. One faction, led by Lin Niangzi and the strategist, advocated changing their ways and abandoning piracy. The other faction, led by Cang Quan, insisted that the government was untrustworthy, wanted to continue being pirates, and disapproved of Lin Niangzi and her father's gentle approach. They believed that pirates were simply murderers and thieves.

"Uncle Cang, I am the leader of the Yellow Pirates, and I would never joke about the lives and future of my brothers."

In the past, Lin Niangzi would always back down in such situations, which only emboldened Cang Quan to become even more arrogant. However, today's matter concerns all the brothers of the Yellow Pirates, so she has no way to retreat.

Seeing that this was the first time he had faced off against Lin Niangzi, Cang Quan simply stared intently at her, then fell silent and turned to leave.

"Chief, we should probably start making plans soon."

The reason the strategist stood with Madam Lin was actually because of Zhou Wu. In his view, since Zhou Wu was an official, his fleet, the Bull Demon King, would inevitably run into all the naval forces sooner or later. The Yellow Pirates were ranked last among the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and they were also divided into two factions. So, it was simply a pipe dream to try to fight against the government under such circumstances.

The White Skull Pirates were easily defeated in the battle against Niujia Village, which made the strategist see the truth clearly and stand firmly on Lin Niangzi's side.

Lin Niangzi watched Cang Quan leave, lost in thought, a resolute glint in her eyes.

"Let's take a few brothers and head to Niujia Village."

"Yes."

It seemed that the leader was determined to surrender to Zhou Wu this time, so the strategist immediately and quietly instructed his trusted confidant to find a few reliable brothers.

Lin Niangzi then led a few trusted men and quietly sneaked into Niujia Village.

In the past, when these pirates landed, it was either in remote places or when the people had fled without a trace. Unlike now, they can stroll around the streets like normal people.

"So this is Niujia Village. They're really building a city wall. This is much more impressive than the city wall in our hometown county."

The pirates who were traveling with Lin Niangzi couldn't help but admire the city wall under construction.

What Lin Niangzi was even more curious about was that there were no construction workers with whips wielding them, and the people working here didn't look miserable; in fact, they were all quite cheerful.

"Excuse me, sir."

"What's wrong, young lady?"

Lin Niangzi couldn't help but reach out and stop a man who was carrying stones.

"Don't you have any supervisors here? What if people slack off?"

“Girl, what are you saying? We rely on our conscience to do our work. Take me for example, I’m mainly responsible for moving the stones for building the city wall. After each trip, I get a bamboo stick from the person in charge, and I can take the stick to get paid every night.”

"Give them money? Isn't this forced labor?"

"Hehe, young lady, you must be from out of town. Lord Zhou is a kind man. He not only pays for the work, but also provides meals."

"Dinner's ready!"

Just then, the sound of a gong signaling the start of dinner came from afar.

The workers put down their work and walked in twos and threes toward the food. Soon, they saw their fellow workers, each with a large bowl filled with white rice and topped with a large spoonful of stewed fish with broth. They found a place to squat or sit and ate with great enjoyment.

"Chief, this food is better than what we sometimes eat."

One pirate voiced what everyone was thinking. That's right, the Yellow Pirates, because they only robbed unscrupulous merchants, didn't live the same lavish lifestyle as other pirate crews. That's why Madam Lin kept leading her brothers to find another way out.

"Chief, shall we find a place to get something to eat first?"

I left my "hometown" this morning, and it's noon now. I haven't eaten a single bite of food or drunk a single drop of water. My stomach has been growling with hunger for a long time.

"it is good."

Hearing that they could finally eat, the group quickened their pace and headed towards the village.

The sight of the village was a pleasant surprise for Lin Niangzi and her group. In their minds, the village consisted of a dozen or so thatched huts, a dozen or so old men, one or two skinny dogs on the road, and no children crying.

But the village in front of us doesn't look like a village at all. There are neat streets, and various stalls on both sides of the streets sell their own goods, food, drinks and other necessities.

The shops on both sides were no less large than those in the county town, including restaurants, general stores, and fabric shops.

"Is this a village?"
