A black line looms at the end of the sea level.
"Lessley, Paradise Island is coming."
"Well, I started to prepare for the landing." Leslie put down the telescope in his hand and nodded to the men around him and issued an order.
The sailors on the frigates were busy all the time.
About half an hour later, fifteen frigates were surrounded by two large cargo magic ships that arrived at the island of Paradise Island for just six months.
The inhabitants of the island saw the closeness of the fleet from afar, but they did not show any expression of surprise and confusion. Instead, they were very excited to flock to the port early, with a look of hope. The posture of the meeting.
This fleet, which is said to be from the distant mainland of Sainz, has been here for dozens of times since the first time they came to Paradise Island. The residents of the island have already seen it. strange.
And every time the fleet comes, it brings a lot of novelty, such as the various specialties on the mainland of Sainz, such as the scarce resources on the island, such as all kinds of strange but very useful magic machinery. ......
When they sell these precious items to the inhabitants of the island, what they need is not the gold coins that are common in all places, but only the island residents who exchange some of the most common herb ore on the paradise island.
At the same time, even the now unusually wide port with ten terminals is also funded by the new Feishang Association, which is part of the fleet.
In the construction of the port, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce also hired a large number of island residents to assist in the construction and set a high salary of up to five gold coins per month. Let these residents make a small profit.
So for the island residents. Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and this fleet. It is like an angel descending from the sky, bringing them various benefits. Of course, they will be full of expectation and welcome for every arrival of this fleet.
When the fleet stopped at the port, the residents of countless seasons immediately swarmed.
However, the first to go down from the frigate is a group of heavily armed soldiers who look extremely majestic.
Residents on the island are not surprised by this, because according to people in the fleet, it is quite dangerous to sail on an endless sea. Pirates will encounter pirates, and it is a matter of course to maintain basic armed forces.
Only the inhabitants of the island found that the guards who came down from the frigates seemed to have a lot more than usual.
Every time the fleet came, the number of guards coming down from there was only one hundred. This time, it was endless, and the number of people was four or five hundred.
When they lined up in the open space of the port, it looked like black pressure, and the momentum was quite amazing.
Of course, when they turned around and saw more extra large steel ships outside the port than usual. Everyone is relieved.
The fleet that comes this time is much larger, and the number of guards needed will certainly increase. This is not surprising.
However, everyone is also very curious at the same time, why did the fleet that came this time suddenly become bigger? Even brought in two large cargo magic ships that have not been seen for a long time?
Could it be said that this time the new Feishang Chamber will do something on the island again?
When I think of the last time such a large fleet, when I was building a port, everyone was a little excited.
If this is the case, does it mean that these people have the opportunity to work for the new Feishang Chamber of Commerce and make a small profit?
Thinking of this, the enthusiasm of the inhabitants of the island has become even higher, and they have already gathered up without waiting for the follow-up crew to disembark.
If the guards who were not advanced were stopped, I am afraid that a bunch of people had already rushed directly to the ship.
When everyone saw Lesley coming down from the ship's board, there was a burst of cheers.
Leslie’s hand greeted the island’s residents on the dock, which led to a louder response.
"Hey, these guys are really simple enough." Leslie smiled, stepped onto the dock, and walked to the box that had been built by the guards. The legs were slightly bent and jumped up.
Seeing his appearance, the onlookers on the island were more excited.
The last time the New Flying Chamber of Commerce announced that it was going to build the port. When recruiting workers on the island, the Leslie adults also announced that they stood on the high side like this.
Now that he has the same posture, he must announce the same thing!
The inhabitants of the island on the pier rushed in and surrounded Leslie.
Seeing everyone gathered around, Lesley raised his hands, and the noisy voice around him stopped quickly, and everyone focused on him.
"Everyone, I would like to announce a good news to you. This time we are here, we plan to open a magical mechanical parts processing plant on the island, and we are also preparing to open a steelmaking plant and develop a mine. Therefore, it is estimated that we need to recruit about 2,000 workers. ......"
Hearing here, the crowd suddenly burst into an unusually loud and exclamation.
Recruiting two thousand workers?
The gods are on the top, and the population of the entire paradise island adds up to two or three thousand people. This new Feishang Association will recruit one tenth at a time!
Aside from the children and the elderly on the island who have no labor, this means that among the less than 10,000 young people on the island, there will be many people who can get a good job of at least a monthly hardware wage!
And from the tone of this Leslie adult, I can hear that the two factories that don't know what to do and the mine are obviously not short-term projects like this port, but will continue to run for a long time.
This means that people on the island will have long-term and stable income as long as they have the opportunity to enter and work inside.
This is the greatest gospel for the islanders who can only rely on the resources of the island to make a living.
Although the gold coin does not make much sense for the paradise island that was almost isolated from the past, but now the fleet of the new Feishang Chamber of Commerce can come often and ship the goods on the mainland of Sainz, the gold coin can be quite useful.
For example, a magic fan that can bring cool air to people in the hot summer season requires three gold coins to buy.
If it was before, people on the island had to collect a lot of herbs to be able to renew one, but now if they can get the job, they can buy one in a month!
"Lessley, I want to sign up!" suddenly shouted in the crowd.
After the crowd was quiet for a moment, even as the sound of the sound shouted, everyone was desperately trying to raise their arms, trying to attract Lesley's attention.
Lesley raised his arms again, indicating that everyone was quiet.
"Please listen to everyone. Regarding the recruitment of specific workers, we will openly recruit after the factory and the mine are officially established. But before we can build these two factories and mines, we also need a lot of manpower. Willing to assist us in setting up these two factories and mines, please register at the recruitment office we set up. We will choose the best according to the situation. Do you understand?"
Leslie said that, with the similar experience before, it was easy for the crowd to accept the arrangement.
After the announcement of this matter, it entered the mutual trade link that the two sides have long been skilled in.
This time Les's interest rate led a huge fleet of ships, which naturally brought in various materials from the mainland of Sainz, and the residents of the island were also desperately collecting the new flyers during this time. Acquired herbs, ores and other items.
The two sides started the original transaction of changing things in the port, and the scene was very lively.
Lesley looked at the scene from afar and couldn't help but shook his head.
Paradise Island is solo overseas that it has been isolated from the mainland of Sainz for too long. It has disappeared even the most basic monetary system and can only use such primitive trading methods.
It seems that it takes a lot of effort to develop this place into a reliable backup base.
Just as Leslie thought about his plans for the future, one of his men suddenly came over and whispered to him: "Adult, there is movement there."
"Oh?" Lesley raised his eyebrows and made a gesture of waving his hand. "God down and act according to plan."
"Yes."
The men took the lead and left.
Lesley continued to stay in the shadow of the dock, waiting quietly for about ten minutes, and then heard the sound of low ground vibrations on the distant land.
"coming."
Lesley turned his head and looked at the island. From a distance, he saw a group of black pressed people rushing over here.
The island residents who were dealing with the sailors of the fleet also heard the sound coming from behind, turning their heads and looking at them.
"The royal family is here!"
"My God! How come they came?"
"What are they doing?"
"Don't they..."
......
After a while, the group of people ran to the edge of the beach, they can see that this group of people are wearing a uniform style of clothing, holding a variety of iron weapons in their hands, although the formation is scattered, the body is not uniform However, it can be seen that it has received some training and can be called an armed force.
Among these people, you can also see a two horse-drawn carriage, a middle-aged fat man sitting on a big belly, like a meat mountain, with a special head on it. The big crown, almost the entire face was buried, and I could not see the face.
After those people stopped, a man came out and looked at the situation on the beach and shouted: "What are so many people gathered here? Want to make trouble?"
The inhabitants of the island on the beach stopped their movements, looked at each other, then turned their heads together and looked at Leslie, who had been sitting on the edge of the beach.
"I am going to be out."
Leslie smiled, stood up, and greeted the team with ease. (To be continued, please search for astronomical literature, the novel is better updated faster!
