Seeing the carriages pulling the cargo that had just been unloaded from the ship towards the island, Li Ming couldn't help but feel curious. He didn't know what Zhang Yao wanted these things. After all, most of these goods were dyes and had nothing to do with Zhang Yao! So, he temporarily put down all the things in his mind, followed the carriage and walked towards the island, and by the way, he also let his confused head rest for a while. After all, he had been busy for a day and didn't even have time to eat a meal.

When the sky was covered with sunset, the carriage finally stopped in front of a very large courtyard in a flat area. A group of women walked out of the yard, all of whom were of age, walked towards the carriage together, and carried the things on the carriage into the yard. The people who transported the things and drove the carriage obediently stayed outside, letting them carry them, and did not come forward to help.

Li Ming, who was hiding aside, was even more strange. Logically speaking, his education on the island should be relatively successful. Mutual assistance and love are a basic moral code for the residents on the island. But looking at the big men who stayed aside, it seemed that they had no intention of helping. Li Ming couldn't stay now. He didn't know who those people were in charge. However, he had decided to ask about this matter. After all, the smooth implementation of the moral code in Chengdu is related to the basic moral level of the residents on the island.

Walking out from behind the tree, Li Ming came to the carriage. The men watching the fun seemed to have not seen him, and they still squatted on the ground and chatted noisily. Li Ming felt a little angry, but he did not vent to those people. After all, they were all lower-class people such as farmers or peddlers, and it was normal for them to change for a while. There must be some particularly stubborn people in one place that are difficult to transform. Maybe these people were met by Li Ming today. Another day, they must call people who are specialized in this area to scold them.

Li Ming, who was not going to cause trouble for those people, decided to set an example and personally help those women transport things, hoping that their actions would move those people. Of course, this is just a joke. Li Ming did not expect these people to have any good enlightenment. He just felt that he had been busy for a day and had been fighting with Li Qing for most of the day. He should do some work to relax his muscles and bones.

So he took a look at the largest box in a car and carried two handles and lifted it up. The box was quite heavy. If those women were allowed to move it, the four people would probably not be able to move it. Fortunately, Li Ming's martial arts have made good progress recently, so it was still very easy to carry a box.

Looking at the surprised look of the men and women beside him, Li Ming couldn't help but feel a little proud. He turned around with the box and fell to the front of the gate in a few steps. He raised his feet and was about to step in.

Several black shadows flew towards him from behind Li Ming. He felt that he was quick to make a correct judgment immediately. He leaped to the side with the box and avoided the shadows. He was about to see what it was, the voice of the woman outside sounded in his ears: "Little hooligan, get out quickly!" "If you don't learn well at a young age, be careful of your dog's life."

Li Ming was stunned, standing at the door with a box in his arms, he looked back a little disbelief. The women were indeed pointing at him and shouting, and several things flew out of their hands and smashed them towards him.

Li Ming was really confused. He never thought, okay, what should those women scold him? He is still a hooligan? Who did he provoke whom? It is worthy of such a bad crime? Just as he was wronged, a stinky shoe hit Li Ming's head with a bang, making him wake up from his annoyance and grievance, and hurriedly dodged the other shoes.

Li Ming was anxious now. He hurriedly put down the box in his hand and shouted, "What are you doing? I didn't warm you up, why are you doing so rude to me? Is there anything you can say clearly?"

However, he was facing a group of shrews from the countryside. How could he listen to his explanation? Taking advantage of his speech, several middle-aged women rushed up with their teeth and claws, reaching out to catch Li Ming.

Li Ming was shocked and turned around and fled into the yard. However, in front of him, a group of women with shovels appeared, shouting and pounced towards him.

Li Ming's mind was completely confused at this time. He never thought that he would be beaten by a group of women on his island. In front of him, he could not beat him. In Li Ming's consciousness, there was no one to attack ordinary women at all, so he could only hide. The moment he saw the women attacking on both sides gathered, and made a graceful turn in the air, and then a 720-degree flip, his clothes fluttered, and he fell naturally next to the cart outside the yard.

"Pa" A shoe flew silently from somewhere. It just happened to hit Li Ming's head as soon as Li Ming landed. This was no better than the shoes thrown by the women just now. It was obvious that the shoes were mixed with pure internal force, which almost made Li Ming feel concussion. At the same time, a voice sounded behind him: "Shameless thief, show off your time, come on, let me give you a few moves, let me teach you a lesson." As soon as the words were finished, the breeze was lightly delivered, and a feminine palm wind had reached the back of Li Ming's head.

Li Ming was shocked. He thought he was facing a group of unreasonable country women just now, but he didn't expect that there would be a martial arts master. Judging from the speed of the people, his martial arts seemed to be not weak. He did not dare to be negligent. He turned around in place and met with one palm. With a crisp sound, the two people's palms intersected, and the powerful internal force shook Li Ming several steps back. The man was shocked by Li Ming, and he fell to the ground a long distance. He staggered a few steps, looking at Li Ming in surprise and couldn't speak.

Li Ming looked carefully and realized that it was an old woman in her sixties, with white hair and beautiful energy. She was breathing heavily at this moment, kicking Li Ming hard, and shouting, "What a thief, your martial arts are so great. You must not be an ordinary person. Are you not afraid of the island owner's punishment?"

Li Ming was very shocked. Since he obtained Lin Lingfeng's internal strength for five years, he was like a divine help when practicing the Yijin Jing. Now he is about to break through the second move. His internal strength is already very good. A good player like Ma Lin and Chen Hao is no longer his opponent. But he never expected that he would meet such a group of inexplicable shrews in this inexplicable place. What was even more unexpected was that this old lady in her sixties could actually shake herself back several steps with one palm. Where did she put his face?

Just as he was ashamed, a voice came from the yard: "What are you doing outside? Grandma Sun, don't care?" With the sound, a figure appeared at the door of the yard.

A stone in Li Ming's heart finally fell to the ground. He looked at the man with laughter and cry, as if he saw the savior, and said, "I said Yao'er, what are you selling in the gourd? Fortunately, you came out, otherwise my hat of this traitor today will be detained."

Zhang Yao suddenly widened her eyes and said in surprise: "Sir? Why are you here? What happened? Why did you look like this on your face? It seems like you are going to eat me?"

At this moment, the old lady jumped to Zhang Yao quickly and took her behind her and asked nervously: "Madam, know this lewd thief? Be careful, the little lewd thief has very high martial arts skills."

"A thief?" Zhang Yao felt that she was about to faint: "What happened? When did the sir become a thief? Don't you know him? Isn't he your island owner?"

As soon as Zhang Yao finished speaking, except for the old woman and Zhang Yao, the rest of the people who watched the fun and caught the "relude" knelt on the ground with a whistle. The tough women were so scared that they trembled all over and couldn't say a word.

Li Ming saw it and understood that this was a misunderstanding. He waved his hand impatiently and said unhappily: "None of you is like this, get up! I won't eat you. Yao'er, go in and explain it to me clearly, otherwise I won't be able to sleep tonight, a traitor? Oh my God." While muttering, he pulled Zhang Yao into the yard.

In a small and elegant room, Zhang Yao poured a cup of Longjing for Li Ming in a simple hand, and then asked with a smile: "What happened just now? Why did they call you that?"

Li Ming was angry and didn't call me, and said angrily: "How could I know? I was watching those women moving boxes outside just now, so I wanted to help them move one, but I didn't expect that before I could enter the yard, they called me inexplicably. How did I know what was going on?"

Zhang Yao laughed, she covered her mouth and her shoulders were shaking violently, trying hard to restrain herself from making a sound, but the violent smile made her unable to help but bend down.

Li Ming became more and more depressed. He picked up the teacup in front of him and drank it all, then looked at Zhang Yao in a depressed manner, waiting for her smile to calm down. He was too late to pamper Zhang Yao, so how could he bear to scold her?

Finally, Zhang Yao reluctantly stopped smiling, looked at Li Ming and said, "It turned out to be for this. This is a huge misunderstanding. No wonder, how could those people know Mr.?"

"That's right. This is a silk workshop I built on the island. All the workers are women. In the past, men were not prohibited from coming in. But you also know that there are many single men on the island, so many young men often come here for excuses. As a result, one night three months ago, a young man actually touched the cottage and peeked and was arrested on the spot. Although the young man was punished afterwards, the women were still uneasy. So I issued an order that no man is allowed to step into the yard, but unexpectedly, you will be banned today." After that, she couldn't help laughing again.

Li Ming suddenly realized that he was both angry and funny, but he had no choice but to smile bitterly.

After Zhang Yao laughed enough, Li Ming asked again: "When did this workshop be built? I don't know. Was it the time I left? In fact, tea alone on the island is enough to make money. Silk is invested more manpower, and the profit is less, and the loss is not worth it."

Zhang Yao stopped her smile and said seriously: "Actually, when I saw this workshop, I didn't want to make money, but to arrange those orphans and widows. In the past six months, I have recruited many people one after another, most of them came from nearby disaster areas. Because Linbin City is high in terrain, they all came to escape from the disaster, so we selected a group of people from among them to arrange them on the island. Some of them were orphans and widows. I saw that they were pitiful, so I took them to the island, but most of them did not have the ability to work, and I couldn't always support them like that. In desperation, I had to build such a place and didn't expect to make money. As long as the silk they spinned could be used by so many people on the island, they also

It’s enough to be able to support yourself. Fortunately, there are many wild mulberry trees on the island, so you can just introduce silkworm seeds. At the same time, you can also buy silk cocoons nearby for processing. But unexpectedly, there are actually a few textile experts among these women. Under their guidance, the silk on our island has become a big name near Linbin City, so the output is getting bigger and bigger. So, I usually come to help when I have nothing to do. Hehe. A few days ago, the dyes in the workshop were almost used up, and Senior Situ went out to purchase medicinal materials, so I asked him to bring some pigments. I was helping with the goods here, and I heard the noise outside. I didn’t expect it was you. Hehe, I’m really sorry.”

Li Ming smiled relievedly: "So that's the case. I told you what happened. Those women rushed towards me like they met an enemy. They gave me my mouth back to me in my life. No one called me a thief, and I was wrongly accused of death. By the way, it's too late, let's go back to the villa with me."

Zhang Yao smiled apologetically and said, "It's not possible now. I can't give up halfway. Why don't you go back first? If you are so busy, don't waste your time here."

Li Ming shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said, "It's okay. It's rare to see you working so hard. I'll be here to accompany you. Anyway, today's affairs are over, and Li Qing has been sent away by me. I'll have some leisure time today."

Zhang Yao smiled gently and said, "Since that's the case, sir, please help me order goods. You are the only man here, sir, don't be embarrassed."

Li Ming smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "It's good that this will make those who think I'm a traitor nervous. By the way, who is that old lady? She has such high martial arts skills."

Zhang Yao pulled Li Ming out and smiled, "You are the island owner, and you don't know anyone under your command. That's Grandma Sun, the wife of Senior Zhuang Ya, and she came to the island to help."

"So that's how it is!" Li Ming suddenly realized that no wonder he is so skilled in martial arts. It seems that he is really a bit incompetent.

He sent away a few women who came to the front, and Li Ming helped Zhang Yao lit up the paint in front of the room. Li Ming was not very familiar with these, so he had to do a coolie. Zhang Yao recorded one, so he moved one away and piled it into the warehouse.

Finally, nearly an hour later, there was only the last box left in the room. This box was the one Li Ming was about to move in outside. Li Ming smiled bitterly and opened the box for Zhang Yao to see.

Zhang Yao took a look and wrote it on the booklet, saying, "Three hundred kilograms of shellac, this is the last item. Did you have dinner today? Let's go back quickly, I've finished it."

Li Ming agreed, moved the box to the warehouse, and pulled Zhang Yao out of the door. At this moment, the sky outside was full of stars. Several huge kerosene torches in the yard emitted a bright light, illuminating the yard. When the busy women saw them coming out, they stopped their work and saluted the two of them. Several of them didn't even dare to raise their heads, and these people were the ones who cursed the most outside today.

Li Ming smiled bitterly and bowed to the people in the yard, took Zhang Yao out of the yard as if he was running away, and then let out a long sigh, swearing in his heart that he would never come here again.

There was no moonlight in the sky, only the stars in the sky were blinking. Li Ming pulled Zhang Yao to walk towards the villa on the dark night. Along the way, the torches placed sporadically emitted a shining light, vaguely illuminating the ground, light and dark.

Seeing Zhang Yaoshen and the lighter, Li Ming couldn't help but think of himself making a generator that was in trouble. If there was electricity at this time, the street lights on the island were brightly lit, so how could Yao'er be so troubled? Alas! What's the solution? It's unlikely to find a suitable insulating material to make insulating paint in this era. After all, modern insulating paint is all chemically synthesized, and his own chemical laboratory has just been established and does not have the ability to make chemical products. It would be great if there was something natural to replace it, just like rubber, natural rubber can still be used, but unfortunately no rubber trees were found nearby.

Thinking of this, Li Ming suddenly felt that he had missed something. This feeling was very strange, as if there was a layer of hazy things covering the truth. You could see the truth by lifting this thing, but you didn’t know how to lift him. By the way, I just thought of natural objects, such as rubber trees, which are treasures given to people by nature, but what else?

While thinking, Zhang Yao said unsatisfiedly: "Senior Situ is too smart this time. He bought a large amount of shellac when Linzhou was launched, which can save a lot of money. You must know that the price difference between off-season and peak season can be ten times different."

"Laugam?" Why did Li Ming feel so familiar? It seemed to have seen it somewhere. Suddenly, he remembered that when he was in college, he had seen a popular science book. It seemed that she was a good insulator, a good adhesive, and a good natural pigment. By the way, that's it." Thinking of this, Li Ming was so excited that he was about to faint. He really found it without any effort. It was worth the scolding today.

Li Ming could no longer help it. Without any time to explain, he pulled Zhang Yao back to the villa quickly, and didn't even have time to eat dinner. He got into the base car and stayed in the middle of the night.
