"Hurry and let the common folk who followed us out to sea disembark. If anyone is sick, continue to provide them with free medicine; we cannot be careless!
Those who can move, take them to the east, where His Highness has promised us vast tracts of land! If we can cultivate it all within three months, we might even receive another ten thousand acres! This will surely be the cornerstone of the Bai Family's resurgence!
No one is allowed to act recklessly; if I catch anyone doing so, hmph!
Under such reprimand from the family head, several young members hurriedly fell silent, not daring to speak further. They quickly called for those willing to disembark and promised them the one hundred acres of land they had previously mentioned.
It wasn’t that the Bai Family was being generous; rather, they had become adept at land consolidation. This generation grants you free citizens land, but for the next generation, who knows? They might just become our tenants.
Otherwise, how could they possibly have invested in so many Transport Ships to bring the common folk from Da Qian?
The urgent task now is to make them happy first; only then will they have the spirit to cultivate more fertile fields. His Highness has said that the more we cultivate, the greater the rewards. Who knows? In the end, the Bai Family might directly acquire tens of thousands of acres!
If we could even run a few more trips with over ten ships, with some effort, we might touch upon a hundred thousand acres! Just thinking about it brings joy! That would be a precious asset left for future generations of the Bai Family!
Bai Yu casually summoned a family steward: 'Go find some local Barbarians. I've heard from those in the Kaihai Division that they are quite useful. Hire two groups; one group should come first to repair the port—at least let the Prince see our gratitude. The other group you can take over there to build our residence for the Bai Family. If there's any energy left, bring them along to clear land.'
There are people living locally; it’s just that in the eyes of those from Kaihai Division and Yanshang, everyone outside Da Qian is considered Barbarians. Hiring these people doesn’t even require much money; a meal will suffice.
The Bai Family Steward accepted his orders and went to find a few stationed Sailors at the port, establishing connections through laughter and drinks.
'Brothers Bing, we're newcomers and unfamiliar with the rules; I hope you can guide us,' said the Bai Family Steward as he discreetly handed out a few bags of small coins.
A Squad Leader took one bag, weighed it in his hand, and accepted it with satisfaction: 'You’re quite sensible. Your family head must know to seek Wu Tongzhi; there’s no need for us brothers to say more about that.
As for other matters, just don’t kill anyone or seriously injure them.'
After saying this, the Squad Leader even had time to whip out his whip and strike a Barbarian on the back while cursing at them to hurry up and repair the port."
The Bai Family Steward was taken aback. Prohibiting harm? This was a ruthless approach, completely disregarding any rules.
"Oh," the Squad Leader said, flicking the whip with an indifferent expression. "Barbarians are certainly not considered people."
The main concern was the prince; he needed a population, people to settle here and thrive. As for these Barbarians? Hmph. The Squad Leader's eyes were filled with vigilance. "Those who are not of our kind will have different intentions. No matter how cautious we are, it is never too much."
The Bai Family Steward pondered this and nodded slightly, understanding the local rules. Before he could start tormenting the Barbarians, someone had already stepped in to defend them.
"Which faction do you belong to?" Chen Tao approached with a grim expression.
Wu Qianchuan, feeling impulsive, had taken on the task of returning to sea from the prince. Not wanting to face Wei Zhuangzhu alone, he decided to follow along.
However, upon arriving in this Fortune Land, Chen Tao found the prince's treatment of the local Barbarians truly unacceptable. This was nothing like the Fortune Land he had envisioned; it shouldn't be this way.
