The boat slowly docked. Lady Lin had dressed up specially for today, which caught Zhou Wu's eye.

"Welcome to Niujia Village."

"I'll have to trouble you from now on, Lord Zhou."

"Don't call me 'sir'. Just call me by my name. I'm not one for formalities."

Zhou Wu led Lin Niangzi to introduce her to the family.

"This is the village head of our Niujia Village. Everyone calls him Uncle Niu. Uncle Niu is a treasure of our Niujia Village."

"Hello, Grandpa Niu."

Lin Niangzi's sweet, coquettish voice made her subordinates almost unable to believe that this was their leader.

At first, Niu Ye thought that pirates were all vulgar and despicable, but he never expected that there would be such a beautiful girl among them.

"You're too kind, you're all so kind."

"This is Deng Yuanliang. He is in charge of the maritime trade in our Niujia Village."

"I have met Young Master Deng. It turns out that the maritime trade of Niujia Village is all thanks to Young Master Deng. I admire you."

Lin Niangzi had originally wanted to switch to trading, but she had never been able to get started. She was naturally aware of the maritime trade in Niujia Village, but she never expected that such a young person would be in charge of it.

"Greetings, Madam Lin. We are about the same age, so there's no need to be so polite."

Deng Yuanliang has the air of a scholar and is very refined.

"This is Niu Er, the deputy commander of the Qingyang Army. He is in charge of the safety of Niujia Village."

"So you're Niu Er. You're the one who wiped out the Black Dragon pirate fleet last time. You're really amazing."

"Hehe, it's nothing, it's nothing."

This was the first time Niu Er had heard someone praise him like this, and the usually boorish man actually became shy.

That evening, Zhou Wu also arranged a banquet to celebrate the Yellow Pirates abandoning their evil ways and joining Niujia Village.

. . . . .

Zhou Wu drank too much last night and couldn't hold on any longer, so he didn't get up until almost dawn.

"Hey, Uncle Niu, you're up early."

When Zhou Wu arrived at the village committee, Uncle Niu had been waiting for him for a long time.

"Hehe, when I was your age..."

Well, Uncle Niu started his daily reminiscing again, but Zhou Wu was already used to it. He talked his piece, and Zhou Wu did his own thing.

After waiting a while longer, Deng Yuanliang, Niu Er, and Lin Niangzi arrived one after another.

"Now that everyone's here, let's discuss the arrangements for Lin Niangzi's group. I think we need to solve the accommodation problem for the new villagers first."

The reason Zhou Wu raised this question first was because after the welcome banquet last night, Lin Niangzi's people had nowhere to stay and could only temporarily return to the ship to sleep. Although they were used to sleeping on the ship as pirates, Zhou Wu felt that this was not a long-term solution.

"Lord Zhou, we are used to living on boats, so it doesn't matter if we don't have houses."

Solving the accommodation problem for more than a thousand people is no small matter, but Madam Lin felt that it wouldn't matter if she stayed on the boat.

"That won't do. Now that you've joined Niujia Village, you have to be treated the same as everyone else and enjoy the same benefits."

"Yes, I agree. The scholar is right. Since we are all on the same side, we should not treat each other differently."

Niu Ye strongly agreed with Zhou Wu's approach, and Deng Yuanliang and Niu Er followed suit.

"Uncle Niu, then I'll trouble you to spare some of the workers who are building the city wall to build houses."

"Okay, I'll make the arrangements after the meeting."

Uncle Niu patted his chest and guaranteed it.

"Now let's talk about the work arrangements for these people. There are over a thousand of them. Everyone, please share your opinions on how to arrange things."

It's not as simple as just shouting a slogan and moving people over to a village of over a thousand people. The village needs to solve its basic housing and employment problems, otherwise how will people survive?

"Brother, any young and strong men who are good at swimming can join my Qingyang Army."

“That’s right, Niu Er, your navy has just been established, and you happen to be short of people who are good at swimming.”

When Zhou Wu mentioned assigning jobs, Niu Er was immediately interested. These pirates seemed tailor-made for the Qingyang Navy.

"My trading fleet also needs some manpower. It's relatively safer here, but it requires a certain level of physical strength."

Deng Yuanliang's trading fleet can accept some ordinary able-bodied men.

"For the remaining elderly and children, I will arrange some farming or animal husbandry jobs, or our workshop may need manpower."

As for the rest, Mr. Niu said he could arrange it.

"Alright, let's arrange it this way. What do you think, Madam Lin?"

"Okay, that's great."

These jobs now basically represent the entire industry of Niujia Village, which means that Niujia Village has not excluded people like Lin Niangzi. Therefore, Lin Niangzi is very grateful and glad that she made the right choice.

In the following period, Niujia Village became even more lively due to the sudden increase of more than a thousand people.

As for the various forces at sea, the addition of the Yellow Pirates to Zhou Wu's forces has caused quite a stir, with many different opinions circulating.

. . . . . . . .

"That little wench, Lady Lin, actually sided with Zhou Wu; she's a disgrace to us pirates."

Black Dragon was very unhappy at this moment. He had already made an agreement with Bass, the red-haired pirate, to join forces against Zhou Wu. He didn't expect Lin Niangzi to suddenly pull this trick, which made Bass think about it. He said he had to plan Zhou Wu carefully. It was obvious that he felt that Zhou Wu had become a tough nut to crack with Lin Niangzi's help.

"Chief, that Bass fellow has taken so many benefits from us, is he trying to renege on his promise now?"

Black Dragon's subordinates were also indignant at this moment, and the entire White Skull Pirates were holding their breath.

"Hmph, I know exactly what Bass is thinking. He's just afraid that the opponent is too strong, that he will suffer too much loss, and that the big bearded man from the Steel Pirates will take advantage of the situation."

"Then can we drag the bearded guy from the Steel Pirates into this?"

His subordinate proposed an idea, but it was immediately refuted by Black Dragon.

"Big Beard? He and Bass are sworn enemies, how could he possibly cooperate with Bass?"

The two leaders were at odds, a fact known only to a select few, making cooperation between them virtually impossible.

"The remaining Cross Pirates, Slaughter Pirates, and Golden Hook Pirates are not in the South Blue, so it is impossible for them to form an alliance."

Black Dragon went through the forces of the Seven Warlords of the Sea in his mind, but he really couldn't think of a better way.

"So, are we just going to let this go? Chief, can you swallow this insult?"

The subordinates were very unwilling, as the entire White Skull Pirates had been reduced by half.

"Hmph, forget it? If it doesn't work, we'll just take out Bass first and turn the Red-Haired Pirates into the White Skull Pirates."

The black dragon's face once again revealed a sinister look, causing his subordinates to tremble involuntarily.

At this moment, Heilong's mind was filled with Zhou Wu; no one could stop him.

"Bass, since you're not keeping your word, don't blame me for being ruthless. I'll gladly accept your Red-Haired Pirates."
