At 4 o'clock in the morning the next day, Qu Mao saw that everything was ready and asked the sailors to set sail. Under the current navigation conditions, it was still impossible to sail completely at night, but it was not a big problem to get up early and go in the dark.

After a full day of sailing, at around 3 p.m., five sea-going ships finally docked at the Yi Island Civilian Pier.

There are now 10 zero-level civilian wharves in Yidao Civil Wharf, which can berth 30 sea-going ships at the same time. Su Yan, Sir Mulak, Su Qiaoer, etc. have been waiting at the civil wharf for a long time. When the sea-going ships came back, they organized people to collect them.

Get on board the ship to pick up the purchased supplies.

Qu Mao found Su Yan and said, "Su Yan, give priority to getting the people off the ship.

The reason why I set sail in the dark is to return to Yi Island as soon as possible so that I can give you enough time to settle the newly arrived citizens.

The two sea-going ships gave priority to unloading the cargo, and took advantage of the darkness to transport a total of 300 citizens to empty islands and outlying islands."

Su Yan said: "Yes, sir! Have you chosen the person or will your subordinates rearrange the person?"

Qu Mao waved his hand and said, "Just make arrangements.

There were 15 families on the ship with a total of 81 people. The oldest one had an old man in his 60s and the youngest one had children several years old. They were 15 families of shipwrights, who were skilled workers in the shipyard.

Please arrange them properly. We don't have the shipyard drawings now, so we need to carefully consider where to place these 15 families of shipwrights.

I personally think that if Yidao does not have the sea area conditions for building a shipyard, it will be no problem for the shipyard to be built on an outlying island in the future. In this way, these 81 households can arrange to temporarily settle on outlying islands in advance, without taking up the 300 that I reallocated to outlying islands and empty islands.

A quota for leading citizens.”

Su Yan nodded and said, "Okay, sir, I understand."

Qu Mao continued: "You and Sir Mrak will seize the time to go back and forth between empty islands and outlying islands in the past two days. One is to get animal skins, and the other is to consider sending some more subjects there. You can consider sending 150 more subjects each.

It was already allocated for 400 subjects before, and after sending 300 more two times, there will be a total of 1,000 subjects for outlying islands and empty islands, which barely accounts for 20% of the total population of our Yicun territory.

This time we bought 1,500 residents from Yancheng, 800 women and 700 men. Another 15 families of boatmen with 81 people were sent by suppliers. We have enough residents."

Su Yan nodded and said, "I understand, sir!

On the day you went to Yancheng, your subordinates had arranged for the people to transport another 100,000 units of blank rune stones to the small village of Minggang, but I don't know how well you sold them."

Qu Mao smiled and said: "Just leave two sea ships to travel between outlying islands and empty islands. Take down all the shuttle boats, and quickly ship the other blank rune stones and animal skins to the other four sea ships.

Let Su Qiaoer go to Yancheng as soon as possible. The sales and prices of the blank rune stones and animal skins there have been fully negotiated. Just take them there and sell them directly.

When the second wave returns, I will calculate the total income and pay back the money I owe you first."

Su Yan nodded and said: "Sir, my subordinates will arrange for the people to be unloaded and loaded at sea to synchronize. Qiao'er is also ready and can set off at any time after loading the ship.

My subordinates will arrange sea ships to outlying islands and empty islands, and try to set off at five o'clock."

Qu Mao nodded and said: "You arrange to unload the goods first. We will go to two sea ships tonight to transport 15 families of 81 boatmen and 300 residents to the outlying islands. We will return tomorrow morning.

At noon tomorrow, we will arrange for a sea ship to take 300 citizens to Kongdao and return in the evening of the same day.

In this way, Su Qiaoer and the others can set off early the day after tomorrow at the earliest.

Other territorial citizens should make arrangements as soon as possible. After all, Yidao is still the foundation of our Yicun territory.

Of the 1,500 citizens purchased this time, 900 will stay on Yi Island for development.

Although Su Qiaoer's change of profession as a hero can still bring close to 200 points of command points, we still cannot stop the process of converting our citizens into freemen."

Then, Qu Mao told Su Yan the origin of these slaves. After Su Yan heard that these slaves were good citizens of Yancheng, she stopped talking and looked extremely lonely.

Qu Mao knew what Su Yan was thinking, patted Su Yan on the shoulder, turned and walked towards the small village of Minggang.

After the first wave of five ships returned from Yancheng, the entire Yicun territory became busy.

Even if 681 territorial residents were sent to outlying and empty islands, it would still be very difficult for the three small villages on Yi Island to accommodate 900 territorial residents, even though Su Yan had already built many zero-level territorial residences in advance.

All production personnel on duty at resource mines were fully occupied almost on the same day, and even two shifts were set up.

But it was still difficult to accommodate so many people. After Su Yan returned from the outlying island, she worked non-stop for several days to accommodate all the residents.

In the early morning of the third day after the first wave of five sea-going ships returned, Su Qiaoer had already led the second wave of five sea-going ships towards Yancheng Port.

Before departure, Qu Mao saw him off on the wooden trestle and said to Su Qiao'er who was about to board the ship: "Su Qiao'er, you have also read the library's books, and I'll give you the space bag.

After you change your profession to a hero, you use your backpack to pack supplies from two secret storage points, and you also need to purchase some other supplies.

The third is to purchase books. Our zero-level library, counting the ones I purchased, brought with me, and asked the owner of the grocery store to purchase, now has a total of only 330 books. I hope that after you come back, our zero-level library can reach

500 books.

The fourth task is to find as many skilled workers as possible, and try to bring back the entire household, not just the skilled workers.

They are all residents of Yancheng. By bringing them back, we can save them from the fire and water.

The number of residents in Yicun territory is sufficient in the short term. If we cannot bring back skilled workers for every household, it will not be conducive to the stability of our Yicun territory."

Su Qiao'er said: "Sir, I understand! Don't worry, Miss has also spoken to me in private several times.

This time when my subordinate went to Yancheng and changed his profession to a hero, the first thing was to collect supplies from at least two Suber hidden material storage points, the second was to pick up the supplies ordered by the purchasing lady, the third was to purchase books, and the fourth was to find families of skilled workers and

bring back.

Suber has set up a total of 10 hidden material storage points. You have already taken two of them, and I will take two more. In the end, there are only 6 left to be taken slowly later."

Qu Mao nodded and said: "Now that you have discussed it with Sunan, get ready to go. You should also handle any private matters your family has.

Don't be reluctant to spend gold coins. If the gold coins are not enough, I will give them to you."

After saying that, Qu Mao took out two gold coin bags and handed them to Su Qiaoer with a total of 1,000 gold. Su Qiaoer was not a hero yet and could not trade directly.

Before returning from Yancheng last time, Qu Mao left 2,000 gold coins for Sunan. Even so, Qu Mao still brought back 170,000 gold coins. Now Qu Mao has enough gold coins.

After Su Qiaoer boarded the ship, the five sea-going ships lifted anchor and set sail one after another, leaving the civilian dock and heading north.
