PFC Chapter 161 Officially Settling in Peach Blossom Island
Chapter 161 Officially Settling in Peach Blossom Island
Besides, all I need is a resort.
He only promised Zhou Shixun to keep an eye on this sea gate for him.
Having finally managed to travel through time, of course I should make money, get married, and travel around!
Looking back over the long period of time since his transmigration, Chu Chen has been subtly and slowly influencing this world.
Those incredibly skillful "hidden weapons," and those impregnable roads and city walls.
Solar panels that harness the power of the sun, and air conditioners that keep summer cool.
In fact, Zhou Shixun saw all of this deeply and remembered it in his heart.
All Zhou Shixun is lacking now is an opportunity to demand it!
Chu Chen's reason for wanting this island was not simply to have a place for a vacation.
If one day a powerful force sets its sights on this island, it will be my escape route.
Of course, it's estimated that neither Zhou Shixun nor Chu Chen wanted this day to come.
Half a month later, the island construction was officially completed, and all those who had performed corvée labor and officials left the site.
At Chu Chen's instruction, the entire rooftop and a quarter of the island were covered with photovoltaic panels.
The island was fully equipped, and Lü Rongdong led his thousand soldiers to garrison there.
Lü Rongdong was originally a centurion, so he was accompanied by a thousand soldiers.
But for Chu Chen, a thousand people were more than enough for such an impregnable island.
Whether it's the villas on the mountaintop, the reception villas on the mountainside, or the barracks, all are fully equipped with modern facilities.
Except for the lack of radio, everything else, such as lights, refrigerators, and air conditioners, was provided.
Chu Chen even equipped every place with a washing machine.
Each watchtower is equipped with a walkie-talkie and an electric fan.
Lu Rongdong and his thousand soldiers looked at these amazing things and realized that they were not here to guard the place, but to enjoy themselves.
On a beach to the north, Chu Chen also made the entire city wall with steel bars, so that the beach could be accessed by the island.
The soldiers were no longer wearing heavy leather jackets, but were instead dressed in camouflage uniforms by Chu Chen.
Each outpost and watchtower was equipped with a crossbow.
Once the Japanese arrive, Chu Chen is also considering distributing stab-proof vests and helmets to them.
Such a heavily armed force is more than capable of protecting this maritime gateway.
On this day, the entire island was adorned with red decorations, and Murong Huai led the officials and merchants of Linhai.
Carrying gifts, they celebrated the completion of the island.
For this grand event, Chu Chen brought all the romantic girls from Qingyunhong to the event.
Their main selling point is providing top-notch service; officials and businesspeople have never seen such bold and open welcoming girls before.
They were drooling.
The banquet lasted a full day before the guests finally left, satisfied.
During the gathering, most people were asking about the girls who exuded a captivating fragrance and were dressed in revealing clothing.
Unwittingly, this also served as free advertising for the soon-to-open Linhai Red Romance restaurant.
Murong Huai was happy with this. As soon as Linhai Red Romance opened, he estimated that even the merchants who came to visit would elevate the economy of Linhai to a new level.
Many people from Mashan Village in Qingyun City were also invited.
With Chu Chen's permission, Hu Zi trained a number of drivers, including Li Qinglian, Luo Yi, Mu Xueqin, and even Chen Qingxuan, who was too lazy to cook snakes, all of whom drove around in a van with an air of superiority.
The mall has an inexhaustible supply of vehicles and fuel.
Chu Chen was generous in this regard, taking out ten vans from his spatial storage and providing one each to the drivers and to each group in Mashan Village and Honglangmang Wenxiangge.
Tiger also thoroughly enjoyed being a coach, arrogantly reprimanding his "students".
Considering that many people in Mashan Village had never seen the sea, Chu Chen suggested that they come in batches in the future, and try to get everyone to stay on the island for a few days.
After finishing the check-in process on the island, Chu Chen was exhausted.
After leaving Li Qinglian, Mu Xueqin, and Chu Yi on the island, the rest of the people were sent back.
The next day, Chu Chen was brewing tea in the pavilion that Uncle Feng had built for him on the big rock at the top of the mountain.
Lu Rongdong stood respectfully to the side.
"Young master, all soldiers have been assigned. Please come down the mountain to check."
Prior to this, Chu Chen had rummaged through the books in his spatial storage and compiled a manual for modern military training.
Let Lü Rongdong retrain these thousand soldiers according to each person's strengths.
Considering the island is too small, if they continue to live a leisurely life, these people will eventually become useless.
Since Zhou Shixun has bestowed these thousand people and this island upon me...
That means these thousand men have now officially become his private army.
This is the backbone of protecting themselves and their families.
Therefore, Chu Chen took their training very seriously.
After finishing his tea, Chu Chen, guided by Lü Rongdong, arrived at a huge square at the foot of the mountain.
On the stage in the square, the sound system and microphones for square dancing, as well as the tables and benches, had already been prepared and set up.
Looking at the thousand soldiers standing in neat rows before him, Chu Chen smiled with satisfaction.
To live a carefree life in this ancient world, the power of these people must be put to good use.
"Everyone, since His Majesty has entrusted me with leading you all, I, Chu Chen, will not treat you unfairly!"
As soon as he finished speaking, enthusiastic applause erupted from the audience.
Chu Chen couldn't help but glance at Lü Rongdong sitting next to him with a puzzled look.
He thought to himself, "They're trained that well?"
In fact, Chu Chen was wrong. This was not training at all. These soldiers used to serve in Linhai City, and their treatment was worlds apart from that on the island.
These people are actually expressing their feelings and joy from the bottom of their hearts.
After making some grand pronouncements, Chu Chen led Lü Rongdong off the stage.
Brainwashing shouldn't take too long, as it's less effective; it's best to use gentle, subtle methods.
Each soldier receives a monthly allowance of one tael of silver, and those who make contributions receive additional rewards—this is the best sesame seed.
One or two thousand taels a month is really nothing to Chu Chen.
Immediately afterwards, Chu Chen went to the villa that Lü Rongdong had assigned to him alone halfway up the mountain.
We discussed management issues with him.
Chu Chen divided these thousand men into ten teams, equipped with different weapons, each with its own duties.
Each team elects a centurion to manage its own unit.
Chu Chen allowed these leaders and elite soldiers to bring their families to the sea, but once on the island, they could do various jobs to make a living.
Fishing, salt production, transportation, sales, environmental sanitation, repairs, and so on.
To make arrangements for his family, Chu Chen also rebuilt the filtration system and established a salt-making workshop on the island.
According to Chu Chen's thinking, as long as the top talents among these thousand people have family members on this island, he will not be afraid of them rebelling.
As for those ordinary soldiers, even if they ever harbored rebellious thoughts, they would be suppressed by those elite soldiers and their leaders.
With the help of vans for transportation, the cost of selling the refined salt was not high, and it could still be sold to Zhou Shicai at the same price.
After arranging all of this, Chu Chen finally breathed a long sigh of relief!
