Hua Congchang had an extraordinary status in the Hua family. After writing an approval note, a steward immediately prepared corresponding rations for planting, farming cattle, and various tools according to the number of 100,000 people, and borrowed a ship.
A third-level treasure ship and the corresponding monks who operate it.
Lin Xiao also paid a corresponding price. In addition to Baiwu Tea Qianling Wine, he also had some other resources. Lin Xiao was embarrassed to give them all to Baiwu Tea.
After that, Lin Xiao stayed at the Hua family for another three days. The Hua family was still very polite to Lin Xiao. Lin Xiao's more than 4 million merit points had proved Lin Xiao's combat effectiveness. In addition, Lin Xiao was young and had a high level of cultivation.
He has unlimited potential, so he naturally wants to form a good relationship.
After leaving the Hua family, Lin Xiao went to the Alliance to rent five large flying boats, hired monks to drive the flying boats, then received the Alliance flag and 50,000 mortals from the Alliance, and set out for Fenghuo Island.
Fenghuo Island is still 50,000 to 60,000 miles away from the Alliance. It took Lin Xiao almost a month to get to Fenghuo Island. Mainly because those mortals are no better than monks and cannot travel for a long time, so it is very time-consuming. Even so, on the way
There were also frequent problems. Before reaching Fenghuo Island, thousands of people fell ill and more than a hundred died.
After arriving at Fenghuo Island, Lin Xiao saw the surviving monks from the four small families. They had all moved away. It could be said that they had scratched the ground and taken away a lot of things that did not belong to them, but Lin Xiao was too lazy to follow them.
Just care about it, that’s what these people’s vision is.
The monks gave Lin Xiao a brief introduction to Fenghuo Island. They had been based on Fenghuo Island for more than a hundred years, but they had not fully opened Fenghuo Island, and only about one-fifth of it had been opened.
"Senior Xiao, Fenghuo Island has a radius of more than four thousand miles. We have mainly explored the southeastern coast area before. There are mature farmlands, spiritual fields, and spiritual veins here. Senior, please take a look..."
"I understand. There are many secular affairs on the island, so I won't keep you here. Please do as you please."
After knowing the general situation, Lin Xiao issued an eviction order, and several people left angrily.
As soon as the people left, Lin Xiao immediately arranged for people to unload the supplies, move the rations and other things to the dock, and then sent the treasure ships and flying boats back.
Lin Xiao promoted many stewards among the five mortals, met with prestigious figures from the original indigenous families on Fenghuo Island, and then declared martial law.
Lin Xiao recruited 30,000 young men and asked them to build villages and towns. The required materials were all available on the island. Some were logging, some were quarrying, and some were digging holes.
This tested Lin Xiao's management skills, but Lin Xiao couldn't beat Lin Xiao in this regard. Tiansheng Sect was also established by him hand in hand, and all kinds of incentives were used directly.
In one month, Lin Xiao asked them to build seven large villages, and restored some of the previous villages and towns, allowing more than 80,000 people to live in them. As for the accommodation conditions, he didn't care and let them sort it out by themselves later.
, Anyway, the climate of Luo Xinghai is similar to that of Nanzhou. It is not cold in winter, as long as it can be protected from wind and rain.
After the villages and towns were completed, Lin Xiao was assigned the land. Because there was mature farmland before, it must be different from the newly cultivated farmland, so Lin Xiao directly and roughly confiscated all the previous farmland and redistributed it according to the ten acres of land per person.
The quantity is distributed according to drawing lots, which is fair and equal.
With this move, Lin Xiao directly split up some large indigenous clans, and then adjusted the households in the villages. Those who were not allocated mature fields were moved to new villages, and then prepared for reclamation.
It only took tens of thousands of young people a month to cultivate hundreds of thousands of acres of farmland, enough for the current population. Lin Xiao then asked them to build water conservancy projects, open mountains and build roads. In short, now they eat and drink.
Lin Xiao provided all the services, so he couldn't take any time off.
Young people do heavy work, and women and children cannot be idle. Mortal life requires a lot of things, such as firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, tea, needles, thread, clothes, and so on. Lin Xiao arranged for people to get them one by one.
When Lin Xiao didn't have enough, he sent a message to Lin Zhongjun and asked him to send a large number of them, and Lin Xiao also paid for them.
After finishing all this, Lin Xiao set up a large formation on the island. Because there were not enough defensive manpower, Lin Xiao expanded the range of the formation a lot and surrounded all the mortal villages and towns.
The alliance's command flag is planted on the highest peak on Fenghuo Island. It is shining brightly and can be seen by the monks passing by. This command flag is the witness of newcomer Lin Xiao. He must not take the initiative to attack Fenghuo Island within ten years, otherwise the alliance will retaliate.
Chase.
After the formation was set up, Lin Xiao personally found children among mortals to test their spiritual roots. Regardless of gender or identity between the ages of five and twenty, they all had to be tested. In the end, Lin Xiao detected fifteen
There are children with spiritual roots, but their qualifications are not very good. One has a middle-grade spiritual root qualification, two have low-grade spiritual root qualifications, and the rest have ordinary-grade spiritual roots.
Lin Xiao arranged for literate mortals to give them literacy enlightenment. In addition, he rewarded these fifteen families. In addition to giving them another hundred acres of land, there were also some living materials such as monster meat and invisible beast meat.
In order to improve their status, no surprise, these people will be grateful to Lin Xiao and support him hard.
In fact, this is also true. The loyalty of fifteen people as soon as they enter the door is more than forty, which is much higher than the disciples recruited in Tianyun State.
After the important matter was decided, Lin Xiao mobilized the young people to build houses and buildings on the hilltop with the spiritual vein. Previously, the seven condominium families did not completely occupy the hilltop with the spiritual vein. They only opened up the spiritual fields on it and then divided the spiritual fields to get the output.
Benefit.
Lin Xiao couldn't stand this. Since it was a spiritual vein, it had to be under his control. Otherwise, what would happen to the mountain-protecting formation?
Three months later, fifteen disciples received basic literacy enlightenment, and a main hall and a row of houses were initially built on the mountain. As for the rest of the institutions, they could only take their time.
The next step was to teach them how to practice. Lin Xiao gave everyone a marrow-cleansing pill to improve their qualifications. He also arranged for twenty mortals to solve their life problems and gave them every meal.
It's either spiritual rice or spiritual flesh, and the treatment is excellent.
This is a matter of opportunity. If Fenghuo Island becomes stronger in the future, there will not be such good treatment. Like Tiansheng Sect now, the Marrow Cleansing Pill costs 20,000 to 30,000 merit points. Not everyone can take it, or there is someone to support it.
, or his qualifications and understanding are very outstanding, and the sect is willing to lend money.
Under Lin Xiao's personal guidance, two months later, some people opened their meridians one after another, reaching the first level of meridians. Six months later, all fifteen people became monks.
At this time, the mortal villages and towns at the foot of the mountain also ushered in their first harvest. For the previously mature farmland, Lin Xiao received 40% of the tax, while the newly reclaimed farmland only received one layer of tax.
With this batch of supplies in hand, Lin Xiao ended military control and allowed them to reproduce freely. At the same time, he selected batches of management personnel such as village chiefs and town mayors.
With food and supplies in hand, Lin Xiao used this as a salary to let the mortals continue to subdivide the division of labor. The hunting team went into the mountains to hunt wild beasts, and those with skills were supported to use their skills. They also had to build sea ships so that they could go to sea to hunt.
Fishing and even salt farms were gradually established, and the entire Fenghuo Island showed a prosperous attitude.
"Fellow Daoist Xiao, it's incredible, it's incredible. I only knew that you were unparalleled in combat, but I didn't expect that your management skills are so outstanding. In more than a year, you have seen such a scene, which really makes us ashamed."
"Fellow Daoist Lin, you don't know how tired I have been this year. I've been running around constantly and basically never rested. This is much harder than practicing cultivation."
"Haha, fellow Taoist Xiao, don't complain. I know it's difficult, but everything is difficult at the beginning. Isn't it the end of the beginning?"
"It can't be that simple. Things are a mess. Mortals' daily necessities such as food, clothing, housing and transportation have not been solved except for eating."
"Then if you didn't tell me earlier, my Lin family can help."
"Haha, that's okay. I'll have to rely on fellow Daoist Lin when the time comes."
"This is a small matter. I came here today to ask Fellow Daoist Xiao if he is willing to form an alliance."
"An alliance?"
"Yes, it is an alliance. The Luo Xinghai Alliance is a very loose alliance. It will only be established when it is related to Luo Xinghai's life and death. After that, everyone will do their own thing. Xiao Daoyou's Fenghuo Island has a ten-year safety period, but we
No, in order to prevent being annexed, we have to stay together as a group, so my Lin family and the other six island forces have discussed the alliance, and now I would like to invite Fellow Daoist Xiao to join us."
"How does this alliance work?"
"The alliance of eight families jointly funded the construction of a treasure ship to patrol and protect the islands and waters of our eight families. At the same time, we can hunt monsters. The eight families are united to deal with foreign enemies together, advancing and retreating in the same direction..."
Lin Zhongjun talked about the strengths of the other six families. Only four of the eight families had Daogang monks, and the level of Daogang monks was generally not high. It was for this reason that the eight families wanted to form an alliance.
Lin Xiao immediately agreed to the alliance's strategy. After asking how long it would take to build the treasure ship, Lin Xiao even promised that he would send more people by then. This shocked Lin Zhongjun. Where did Lin Xiao get the people from his lonely family? Lin Xiao just said
The friends he met while traveling in the past were loyal and reliable, so Lin Xiao also decided to establish a sect here.
Lin Zhongjun didn't say anything, and quickly arranged for eight principals to discuss, and finally decided to invest 8 million Xuanjing to build four third-level treasure ships. They were equipped with weapons, not just empty ones. It would take about two years.
.
After that, these four treasure ships will patrol the waters of the eight families to resist foreign monks and protect the mortal fishing boats out to sea. If a certain family is actively attacked by the enemy, they will send troops together, etc.
When discussing the distribution of benefits, Lin Xiao appeared extremely strong and promised that within a year, Lin Xiao's manpower would arrive, demonstrating the strength to be worthy of the benefits.
In fact, half a year later, Tiansheng Sect's support personnel arrived, with a total of 315 people, 300 pulse condensing monks, and 15 Zifu monks. This force was enough to rank among the eight alliances.
It ranks second, second only to the Lin family, and the other families have nothing to say.
