Chapter 1052: The Second Place on the List Was Cancelled

The fact that they can play like this is not only because of the excellent resource endowment of Yangshan Islands, but also because He Lingchuan's efforts have begun to bear fruit.

Most importantly, he has gained something more important than money:

Population, labor force, and army.

There is also a system that is running more and more smoothly and efficiently.

During the peak season of palm harvesting, there are more than 10,000 people on Yangshan Islands. They have seen and experienced life on the island with their own eyes, and are convinced that there is no longer any evil here.

Yangshan Islands offered them generous conditions. As long as they rent land on the island, they will have tax and housing benefits.

At this time, the war between Bailie and Yaguo has not ended. The turbulent situation and severe taxes have made many civilian refugees yearn for a quiet and secluded life.

Therefore, after the palm season ended, nearly 5,000 foreign laborers chose to stay on the island, most of whom brought their families.

This number far exceeded He Lingchuan's estimate.

After all, Yangshan Islands is working hard to develop and build, and everyone can find a job.

In this world, most people are satisfied if they have work to do, can make money, and their wives and children can eat enough.

As for the army, with pirates and Bailong people as the foundation, He Lingchuan tightened the recruitment conditions and selected the best and strongest people for admission, but the number of people soon exceeded 2,300.

The Rongshan people, led by Qiu Hu, stepped up the team's training.

And He Lingchuan introduced a reward system in the Yangshan Guard in accordance with the practice of Panlong City and Yuheng City. Players who win or lead in drills, confrontations, competitions and some actual combat will receive generous rewards.

He Lingchuan himself was born in Panlong Patrol, and he rose to the top by relying on military merits. He is familiar with the design of this system and can do it without much effort.

As for the rewards, it is easier to handle. In addition to the skills, gold and silver, food, elixirs and materials, blind boxes can also be exchanged.

Recently, the salvage team has found all kinds of gadgets from the remains of sunken ships and pirate treasures in the sea area. He Lingchuan thinks it is too troublesome to auction these fragments, so he simply throws them into the military merit system to enrich the prize pool. When people exchange blind boxes, they can get some gold and silver at the minimum, and sometimes they can get magic tools and jewelry, which is dazzling.

He Lingchuan's original intention was to save some money for himself, but when this thing was launched, everyone went crazy. Some people didn't exchange anything, and accumulated military merits every day waiting to exchange for blind boxes.

Gambling, gambling is hidden in human nature.

Qiu Hu had no choice but to stipulate that each person could only exchange one box every half a month to avoid putting the cart before the horse.

He Lingchuan, Qiu Hu and others knew that training the team and improving combat effectiveness were the top priorities.

The richer the Yangshan Islands are, the more jealous people there are. The sooner they have the ability to defend themselves and counterattack, the safer they will be.

When He Lingchuan came here across the ocean, there were only a dozen people around him; a few months later, the permanent residents of the Yangshan Islands, plus the army, had reached nearly 8,000 people.

Starting from scratch is always the most difficult.

The life and production of these thousands of people, the development of the products of the Yangshan Islands, and the external economic and trade exchanges all need to be taken care of by someone.

The makeshift team under his command is also running in, growing, and growing rapidly.

These are not things that can be exchanged for gold and silver, but they are important links in his future vision.

So, this autumn and winter, if there is no loss, it is a big profit.

Now, in addition to money, what he needs most is only one thing:

Talent.

His stall will definitely get bigger and bigger, and there will be more and more affairs to take care of. The few people under his command are simply not enough. Therefore, He Lingchuan needs talents from all walks of life, not only experienced and capable, but also young!

The Yangshan Islands are in the rising and pioneering period. What they want is not stability and comfort, but vigor, sharpness and drive.

In He Lingchuan's words, it means being able to work overtime until late at night, and being energetic to work when the rooster crows the next day.

Where can you find such talents?

Ding Zuodong asked his boss about this, but He Lingchuan waved his hand: "I have already spread the word and asked some old acquaintances to come and help."

After thinking about it, it must be the many students of the Imperial College he made friends with when he traveled to Beijia before!

The Imperial College of Lingxu City and other institutions attract students from all over the world. Among them, students from Mouguo and other small and medium-sized countries account for more than half.

He Lingchuan carefully selected them at that time, and now this favor will finally come in handy.

I hope that his drunken life and extravagant spending at that time were worth it.

……

On the same day, Fang Canran asked someone to send He Lingchuan a piece of information-now, he is an important source of information about Yangshan Islands.

He Lingchuan scanned the intelligence and quickly relayed it to the spider sisters:

"Good news, good news, great news! Auntie and Second Auntie, your wanted orders on the Heavenly Ranking have been cancelled!"

Before the spider sisters could react, Dong Rui's voice rang out: "Huh? When did it happen?"

"First-hand news just came from the west..." He Lingchuan frowned, "Why did you go to Pansi Island instead of staying on Alfalfa Island?"

This guy occupied a large island by himself, and He Lingchuan sent several followers to be his apprentices and help him.

"Is it not okay for me to come here to drink tea and visit friends?"

"..."There is tea in Zhu Second Auntie's crypt? Who will make it?

"I asked Second Auntie for some materials for research." Dong Rui quickly got back to the topic, "You said Second Auntie was removed from the Heavenly Ranking wanted order?"

"Yes, it was cancelled about a month ago."

Dong Rui laughed out loud immediately, but Aunt Zhu was a little depressed: "Just to be removed from the list?"

It was originally ranked second in the rankings, and it was quite popular when people talked about it, but now its title is gone.

Dong Rui smiled from ear to ear.

He used to be on Bejia's wanted list, but later the Shuangye Imperial Master helped him remove his name, and he became an amateur.

These two guys around him were ranked number one and number two in the rankings, which made him very unhappy.

It's fine now, Zhu Erniang has also been removed from the list, just like him.

He Lingchuan said leisurely: "Only the number one on the list is here and will remain standing."

Zhu Erniang couldn't hide her contempt: "What's there to be proud of! Isn't it great news that Bejia has called off the pursuit?"

It really doesn't understand the brain circuits of these three guys.

And it also has doubts: "Is there a scam? Does Bega want us to relax our vigilance?"

He Lingchuan smiled and said: "The possibility is very small."

Aunt Zhu interjected: "You beat up Yu Zecheng's men, so why did Bejia cancel our wanted order?"

It couldn't figure out the logic of this.

If he had known that Bega liked to be abused so much, he would have taken action long ago.

"It may not want to pursue the case." He Lingchuan analyzed, "It won't be able to catch it anyway."

Dong Rui also found it unbelievable: "Is it so flexible? Then it loses face?"

"The state can be very flexible as long as it wants to." He Lingchuan shrugged, "Allowing Zhu Erniang to occupy such a high position for a long time will only make it more embarrassing. There are rumors outside that Bejia can't work hard now. The first and second rankings are on the list every year, but what should I do if I can’t catch them? Just cancel them. This is called pragmatism.”

Zhu Erniang asked: "Does this mean that we are all safe? Bejia doesn't plan to do anything to you?"

"At least that's the case in a short period of time." He Lingchuan said seriously, "I don't know how Shuangye Imperial Master did it, but he did it anyway. The cancellation of this wanted order can be seen as Beijia accepting your statement and not planning to do it again for the time being. Take action against you and the Yangshan Islands."

Dong Rui gave a long whistle.

But He Lingchuan then said: "But the crisis is not over yet. This news only shows that Bejia is too lazy to pay attention to us."

Aunt Zhu asked curiously: "Who else do you care about?"

This kid is fearless. He dares to offend even Bega. Who else will he take seriously?

"Shuangye Guoshi."

When the name was spoken, everyone fell silent.

He Lingchuan plotted against Shuangye Imperial Master, wouldn't the other party argue with him?

￥￥￥￥￥

After a while, a servant came to report:

"Sodin Island is receiving two distinguished guests, their surname is Dou. They said they came from afar at your invitation."

He Lingchuan perked up and said, "Brother Dou is here?"

Of course, Ding Zuodong didn't know who those people were, and the Soul-Calling Mirror said "Oh": "Where are they?"

Its memory is good.

He Lingchuan went to the supply depot to greet them in person, but he couldn't find them after looking around twice, and finally saw the Dou brothers in the dining hall.

They are both tall and thin, in their twenties, and have somewhat similar looks.

One is eating yellow croaker noodles, and the other is concentrating on mackerel dumplings.

He Lingchuan walked quickly and clasped his fists first: "Oh, a distinguished guest is here! It's been a long time since you two have seen each other!"

"Congratulations, brother!" As soon as the two men saw He Lingchuan, they dropped their chopsticks and stood up, returning the greeting.

He Lingchuan said enthusiastically: "We haven't seen each other for more than a year. Are you two okay?"

These two brothers were the friends he had made while traveling in Lingxu City. Dou Wenguan and Dou Wuxing were both originally students of Lingxu Imperial Academy, but they came from the Shahe River Basin on the edge of Mou State.

He Lingchuan had traveled with them no less than four times, and he knew these two people quite well.

He had always remembered the two brothers, but he asked someone to inquire about them, huh? The Dou brothers have returned to Shahe.

So he immediately wrote a letter asking them to "come to help", and his words were quite sincere.

Once the letter was sent, nothing happened. He originally thought that the Dou brothers didn't want to come, and originally planned to invite them again during the Chinese New Year, but who knew...

Dou Wuxing just chewed something in his mouth and didn't reply. He Lingchuan was not surprised that he was dull and introverted. Dou Wenguan laughed and said, "Toefl, toefl! This is how I live my life."

His answer was measured. He Lingchuan said that they were distinguished guests, but the two brothers actually came to He Lingchuan. If you say you are doing well, then why do you come to Yangshan Islands?

He patted the noodle bowl: "Boss He, have you ever eaten the yellow croaker noodles from this restaurant? It tastes very good." The best part is that it only costs five copper coins.

Large portion, delicious, and great value for money.

"Why not? I hired this cook from the tavern in Blade Port. He has been making yellow croaker noodles for twenty-five years. Within a hundred miles, no one makes soup that is more delicious than his!"
