Although the expedition was on an island and transportation was inconvenient, He Zhiyong also brought carrier pigeons with him as a communication tool before leaving.
But after being out for so many days, no news came back at all. This is very abnormal.
Even if they are defeated, it is impossible for the whole army to be wiped out. There is no news at all, right?
And he didn't think that the troops on a desert island could defeat his five thousand elites.
Wei Haohan's face was so gloomy that it dripped water, "Come here, let me go to the He's house and have a look."
The subordinate didn't know what he was going to see at the He's house, and looked confused.
"Show me if the He family is still alive!"
Wei Haohan was still wondering if He Zhiyong had escaped with his soldiers. He had no idea that He Zhiyong would lose the battle or be completely wiped out.
Wei Haohan still hasn't figured out the reason why there is no news from the expeditionary force, but there is bad news coming over there.
"Sir, it's not good, the people we sent out were caught..." The subordinate lowered his head and stammered.
"If you catch it, you'll catch it." Wei Haohan didn't take it seriously. He sent dead soldiers and had long been prepared to sacrifice these people.
Although it was a pity, when he thought about the benefits of moving to Lu Shiyan, he felt that it was worth it.
"But...but...they smashed the dead soldier's teeth, so that the dead soldier missed the opportunity to commit suicide, and I don't know what vicious methods they used to torture the dead soldier. When they were interrogated in front of the people, the dead soldier Everything has been done. Now everyone knows that it was us who sent people to steal people's things..."
The subordinate secretly glanced at Wei Haohan above him, and his voice became softer as he spoke. He felt that the eyes of the Protector were so penetrating, like It's like killing him.
Wei Haohan really wanted to drag him down and behead him, but he also knew that killing him at this time was useless, so he could only endure his anger and quickly summoned his staff to discuss it.
On Treasure Island, Jiang Tangtang was discussing matters with several craftsmen.
With these prisoners, the island's infrastructure can finally be started. Military defense fortresses are naturally the most important.
When Jiang Tangtang first took over the island, in order to repair military measures as soon as possible, the fortresses on the island were built with yellow mud.
Although such a fortress can be used in emergencies, it is not reliable enough.
Now that he had enough manpower, Jiang Tangtang wanted to reinforce a stone wall outside to stabilize it.
It is not that simple to reinforce the stone wall without destroying the original fortress. After all, the fortress is not just the outer wall.
Jiang Tangtang didn't know much about architecture. At that time, he gave Xie Xin suggestions based on his experience in later generations, and then organized people to build it. At this moment, there is absolutely nothing we can do.
A group of people were worried when suddenly a soldier said: "Didn't some of the captured prisoners say they were good at repairing houses? Why don't you come and ask?"
After he finished speaking, someone immediately disagreed and said: "Then How can it be done? Those are all Wei Haohan's people. If they tell Wei Haohan about the island's defense, they will attack the island soon?"
"They have already listened to Madam. Besides, can they escape? "The soldier who made the initial suggestion looked at Jiang Tangtang and murmured in a low voice: "I think many of these people are quite powerful. If they can go to the battlefield, they will be a big help..."
And they are all from the Zhou Dynasty, not from the Zhou Dynasty. South Vietnam and Xirong are separated by deadly hatred. It's just that the positions are different and the people who are loyal to them are different.
There may not be any room for conversion!
It's not like Jiang Tangtang has never thought about this issue.
It is a bit of a waste to have so many elites only used for hard work. It would be great if they could work for you willingly.
But...
"Let me think about this first." Jiang Tangtang couldn't make a decision for the moment, so he put the matter aside for the time being and let them go down and think of a solution first.
Just as the craftsman left, another steward came over and said, "Madam, there isn't much food in the warehouse. Do you want to think of something to do?" Now that thousands of mouths have suddenly been added to the island, the food shipped back from the last time has immediately become tense.
Jiang Tangtang still has a lot of food in his space, so he is not in a hurry. But she can't keep feeding these people with food. While carrying out infrastructure construction, the agricultural and commercial sectors that should be developed must also be developed.
She thought for a while and said, "Is there any progress in letting people go to the sea to search for kelp?"
Kelp is modern kelp. In this era, artificial cultivation was not possible like in modern times, and the price of kelp was extremely high.
Ordinary people can't afford it.
Jiang Tangtang took a fancy to the profits of kelp and wanted to cultivate it artificially. He would have people search for kelp, propagate and cultivate seedlings, and plant it in large areas.
"We have collected it, but not much. We put it in the sea at Dongwan and soaked it. I sent the Acai brothers to guard it. Madam, do you want to go take a look?"
The steward on the island, whose surname is Zhang, is Jiang Tangtang Congya. Brought here by the state. Although he is a bit old, this old man is very smart and knows how to do things.
Jiang Tangtang only asked people to look for kelp and said he wanted to plant it, but he didn't explain anything more. However, the old man thought of all aspects and arranged everything properly.
Jiang Tangtang was very satisfied with the steward and stood up and said, "Let's go and have a look!"
As soon as they arrived at the beach in Dongwan, A Cai's family hurriedly greeted him.
A Cai's family was originally a fisherman. Later, a typhoon hit and the family's house was destroyed. The government not only refused to provide disaster relief, but also intensified the search. With no other choice, the family followed Takeda Nobuzhin and became pirates.
In addition to A Cai's family, many other families in A Cai's village also became pirates.
When Jiang Tangtang first became the owner of the island and managed the people on the island, these people had many doubts about Jiang Tangtang, and their submission to her was only forced by the situation.
But now, I truly admire Jiang Tangtang.
When they saw Jiang Tangtang, these people immediately gathered around and started talking at random.
Some people asked about things in the fields, while others gave Jiang Tangtang rare objects salvaged from the sea. Of course, what I am most curious about is how to grow kelp.
They had been fishermen all their lives, and this was the first time they heard that kelp could be grown.
In fact, Jiang Tangtang has never planted kelp before. She knows how to grow kelp, and she also benefited from the popular science on a certain website.
However, the method of raising kelp seedlings is very special. It reproduces through sporangia on leaves, which is not clear to the islanders. She was told to go see kelp first, but she had never grown it before, so she just tried it out.
Although she said this, everyone on the island felt that she was being modest.
They had dug up the wild cassava in the mountains and eaten it before, but everyone who had eaten it had been poisoned.
But she could think of a solution.
There are many more besides. In short, in the hearts of the islanders, Jiang Tangtang is really awesome.
At this moment, everyone felt that she would be able to grow kelp.
Looking at everyone's eyes, Jiang Tangtang felt a little stressed!
