If there are any dissenters around, Lin Wanwan's newly recruited two hundred young men will be able to defeat them.
With Lin Wanwan backing up the young men, these people are as excited as if they had been given a shot of blood.
It is estimated that when Tang Jun comes, they will dare to wrestle with each other. Whether they can beat each other is another matter. Anyway, the momentum will not be lost.
Lin Wanwan bandaged the prisoner yesterday to stop the bleeding, removed the bullet, and applied anti-infective medicine.
He survived and did not even have a fever.
It shows that the wound has not been inflamed due to the hot weather, and the body is still in good condition.
There were so many things happening in the village yesterday, including children being bitten by snakes, medicine being obtained from heaven, phoenix appearing, sharing food and meat, and having a collective barbecue. No one had the energy to deal with this prisoner at all.
Therefore, he was hungry all night last night.
He had been injured and lost a lot of blood, and he was hungry. Today he felt completely depressed.
When Lin Wanwan saw him, she almost thought that his wound was infected and inflamed. Fortunately, after checking, he found that it was not the case, but only blood loss and hypoglycemia caused by starvation.
Lin Wanwan asked someone to get him some food and gave him a piece of chocolate. As for the specific food, she didn't care. It definitely couldn't be the white rice from last night.
While the prisoners were having breakfast, Lin Wanwan herself returned to the village chief's house to have breakfast.
The village chief's wife and Du Zhengya came to make breakfast for her, which consisted of white rice porridge with dried shrimps and squid, and a bowl of cooked Songcai soup.
Lin Wanwan was quite satisfied. Although the Song vegetables boiled in plain water were not appetizing, they were nutritious. The dried shrimps and dried squid were both top-notch, and even those with money could not afford them in modern times.
The rice used to make white rice porridge was naturally bought by Lin Wanwan in modern times. People in this world, not even the nobles, have ever enjoyed such highly processed rice.
Nowadays, people only grind rice in one step and are reluctant to grind it multiple times. It was not until a few years later that the nobles began to gradually increase their requirements for rice polishing.
After breakfast, two people from the village carried the prisoner on a simple stretcher.
Lin Wanwan held a gun in her hand and a hiking bag, and led the young men in the village to sweep the surrounding villages.
Also following was Du Zhengya. This girl seemed to have positioned herself as Lin Wanwan's personal maid, rushing to help her carry her mountaineering bag.
The mountaineering bag mainly contains outdoor survival equipment, first aid kits, etc. Lin Wanwan is equipped with a highly lethal sleeve crossbow and a pistol.
Therefore, Du Zhengya wanted to carry it diligently, and Lin Wanwan asked her to carry it.
The result of going out to sweep was as Lin Wanwan expected. She led her people all the way, first to the village where the prisoner was, and asked him to explain himself to his clan leader.
There was no need to waste a single soldier. After hearing the description of the warriors of their own tribe, the other party abandoned their weapons and surrendered.
The people living on this island are not very strong in fighting ability.
In the Tang Dynasty, an envoy was sent to Tianzhu. After encountering a rebellion, he did not think about returning to his country. Instead, he went directly to neighboring countries to borrow thousands of soldiers and horses, and then defeated Tianzhu and changed its dynasty.
He was just a civil servant, but he was already so powerful, which shows the great talent of the Tang Dynasty.
Of course, the weak combat effectiveness of the southern countries is also one of the reasons.
In short, Lin Wanwan only has about two hundred young people with her now, and they are still a mob. But because she trusts "God", her momentum is amazing, and she pushes forward all the way.
Lin Wanwan sighed, is this a military attack?
But everyone who saw the fire phoenix last night surrendered one after another without fighting.
Now there is only one dock left in this area that has not been taken over.
The dock is where the big interests lie, and the resistance will definitely be stronger. Lin Wanwan must be prepared before taking action.
She is not in a hurry to continue to expand, but first consolidates her existing power. She has no direct descendants under her control, so everything is harvested locally.
The Dus are both Chinese, so they can barely be considered the closest to each other.
But to say how much Lin Wanwan trusts them, that's not true yet.
Now Lin Wanwan is spending money to win people's hearts. After she leaves, I really don't know how much loyalty they will have left.
After sweeping around outside, it was already past noon when we returned to the village at the foot of the mountain.
Although there was no serious fighting throughout the morning, it still took a lot of time just to travel and receive the surrendered villages. After all, Lin Wanwan was leading a makeshift "infantry" of low quality.
This developed island, which was lined with high-rise buildings in later generations, is currently full of undeveloped green hills and wastelands.
Not to mention the high-rise buildings made of reinforced concrete, if you can see a few bamboo houses along the way, they are considered wealthy villages, and not even a decent town has been formed.
Lin Wanwan asked Du Zhengya, everyone now spontaneously forms a market every fifteenth day to exchange some things.
There is no unified currency throughout the island, and there is a lot of bartering. Then there is the Sui Wu baht, the legal currency of the Sui Dynasty, and the Kaiyuan Tongbao of the Tang Dynasty. Recently, they are also in circulation because of the ships passing through this place in international trade.
There is no market for pepper on the island. Firstly, there are few nobles, and secondly, it is also grown locally.
Pepper originally grows in the tropical areas of Tianzhu, Jiaozhou and Shicheng. It has to be transported thousands of miles by merchants to Datang or Europe before it can be sold at a high price. It is not valuable locally.
The purchasing price of pepper by international merchants is very low. Since ancient times, "Those who are covered with silkworms are not sericulture farmers." The reason why the price becomes as good as gold after arriving in the Tang Dynasty and Europe is because of the tolls along the way.
, losses and exploitation at many levels.
Fortunately, Lin Wanwan did not make her fortune purely from pepper in ancient times. For her, there was nothing that could not be exchanged for money. Just buying a few glass ornaments was a huge fortune.
The pearls and glass beads she gave out were hard currency in the market.
The surrounding villages and towns that are now inhabited have all surrendered to Lin Wanwan, so now she is about to start infrastructure construction.
However, there are still many difficulties. We have enough manpower but not enough material resources.
Although Lin Wanwan is not short of money, this barren island is currently short of supplies. It really doesn't have anything. There are no mature mining sites for iron ore or stone, and there is only a small brick and stone yard. She has money.
It is difficult to buy what you need.
Now, in addition to spending money, we are coordinating and arranging personnel to quarry stones, purchase bricks and wood, and work together to rebuild a bunker.
Fortunately, Lin Wanwan has already experienced the experience of managing two to three hundred servants. If it were the time when she had just traveled to the Tang Dynasty and had so many people come to join her at once, she would not be able to manage them well. Just arranging logistics would be too much.
It's a headache.
Because their ancestors were landlords, the Du family had many literate people, which saved Lin Wanwan a lot of trouble.
Those who are literate are all pulled out to manage and keep running accounts.
Du Zhengya also knew a few words, but because she came from a daughter's family and was an orphan, her family never taught her. She learned it by herself after listening to it outside the family private school.
Lin Wanwan took out the literacy class textbook she had taught in Linjiazhuang and taught Du Zhengya Arabic numerals first, and then addition and subtraction. She planned to train her to be a general housekeeper.
Du Zhengya also lived up to her expectations. She had a strong learning ability and could learn it as soon as she was taught. After all, she was already a sixteen-year-old girl.
This made Lin Wanwan overjoyed. What she was most afraid of when teaching was an idiot who repeatedly taught and made mistakes, and she would immediately become angry.
