After pausing, Zhao Qi turned around and looked at Wu Min and said, "I decided, we want to change our strategy."

"What strategy?" Wu Min glanced at Zhao Qi.

"A thousand gold buys horse bones." Zhao Qi spit out five words.

"Hmm?" Wu Min was stunned for a moment. Of course he knew the allusion of buying horse bones with a daughter, but what's the use here?

"Tomorrow we won't give away our food." Zhao Qi said simply, "A different approach, we will find some jobs for them tomorrow, and we will ask them to help, and then we will use the food to pay them."

"You are... you mean the way the leader used grain to carry out infrastructure construction back then?" Wu Min's eyes lit up instantly. He immediately thought of the beginning of the Han Dynasty. The leader used grain to let the Han Dynasty start the most basic construction.

At that time, a similar method made the entire Han Dynasty instantly stabilize. The most important thing was that in that process, all the people who received the food quickly had enough trust in the credibility of the Han government, which was the most important thing.

Obviously, Zhao Qi is trying to use this method now when he says this.

"Yes, didn't the leader say it? The method is not afraid of getting old, it's enough. This method can play the greatest role in our current situation. Do you think we can use them tomorrow?" Zhao Qi asked.

"That's too much. First of all, we need to level up a piece of land for our subsequent urban construction. If our report is approved, then the first person to come must be the people from the Police Department, and the people from the Police Department also need certain houses to live in. In addition, it is a dock. This place is a good emergency response, but if it is a large dock, it will definitely be impossible." Wu Min said immediately.

"You see, we still have a lot of work. For towns, I think the land we are in is pretty good. It is not far from the village where they are located, and this land is very close to the closest Danshui. It is obviously possible to develop in the future here." Zhao Qi nodded immediately.

"Yes, some docks, taverns and other facilities can be built, but in the future, a large amount of building materials will need to be transported directly. This is probably a bit far away, and there is also the construction of the dock. We probably have to choose a good location, but I think it should be the best choice to get close to our location. They have a simple dock to build, so there should be no problem with loading and unloading goods." Wu Min nodded.

"Okay, let them help clean up the land tomorrow. We brought enough shovels, took out all the things tomorrow, and started to let them work." Zhao Qi nodded.

The shovel that Zhao Qi mentioned is actually a military shovel to be precise. It was developed based on the best military shovels in later generations. It has multiple functions. The usefulness of these military shovels at sea cannot be said to be very large, but considering where they go, these military shovels are actually useful.

Because if they trade, camping in places like the Arabian Peninsula must be compacted with sand, etc.

Military industry shovels will have a great effect in this state. Not to mention anything else, if this thing is even stronger than some unqualified cold weapons in this world.

So they came out this time and carried at least a large number of military shovels. To be precise, all the original soldiers were almost standardized by one hand, because there were still many people using these things in the battle of the Xuanwu Army.

"Okay." Wu Min naturally had no objection.

The next day, the sun in the distance just emerged from the sea level, and the slogans of training sounded from Zhao Qi and his army camp. It has to be said that even though these soldiers are not in the military camp now, their style of the military camp has never been abandoned. This is also the reason why Zhao Qi and the others admire these soldiers very much. Because of the existence of these soldiers, everyone on their ship is affected.

Not to mention anything else, the ordinary fishermen they originally hired have actually been infected with a lot of military auras for so long. Not to mention anything else, I don’t know how many times the discipline has been enhanced, and these are naturally useful to the entire merchant ship.

Even many sailors who had originally changed the fishermen began to ask these soldiers for some fighting skills when they were fine. These soldiers were not stingy because they knew what they would do in the future and gave them some skills to save their lives.

These soldiers get up early, and the fishermen in the village are actually not late. Most of the fishermen have already gotten up. In this era when there is almost no nightlife, most people start to sleep shortly after it gets dark, so they wake up very early in the morning.

Luo Ya naturally didn't forget Zhao Qi's words yesterday, so this morning, Luo Ya came over with a dozen people.

"Sir Zhao Qi, you said yesterday that you need our help if you have something to do, and I don't know what it is?" Luo Ya asked.

"That's right, Village Chief Luo Ya, don't call me Sir Zhao Qi, just call me Shopkeeper Zhao. That's right. We will build a camp here in the future, so we need a large area of ​​flat space. The area where we are now located is very good, so I need some strong laborers in your village to help us level the land in these places." Zhao Qi said directly.

There are some things that Zhao Qi is no longer ready to correct, or he is no longer ready to explain, saying that it is never better to do it. Since they have always misunderstood, Zhao Qi and the others might as well do it directly.

When he heard that it was this, Village Chief Luo Ya was naturally relieved. He said directly: "No problem, I will go back and summon people immediately. The whole village will come to help you level the land." Luo Ya did not resist. The fully armed soldiers here are more than the total population in their village. How can they resist?

Isn’t it just work? As long as it’s not to take their lives, these are all small things.

Moreover, Zhao Qi and the others made a request, and Luo Ya and the others were relieved.

"Okay." Zhao Qi nodded.

Luo Ya and the others immediately went back quickly to summon people. After Luo Ya and the others left, Zhao Qi immediately turned around and arranged for Wu Min. Wu Min immediately nodded, indicating that they had already explained it.

They had already discussed these things last night, so everything was unfolding in an orderly manner. Luo Ya was very fast. After about an hour, a large number of people came over from a distance. Zhao Qi saw that it was basically the whole village who came here, because among the people who came here, Zhao Qi saw many women and some half-old children.

These people also held some of the tools in their own homes in their hands, but their tools... There were very few iron tools, most of them were stone, and there were also many of them with bones. I don’t know what kind of fish’s skull it was, but they were quite big.

"Shopkeeper Zhao, except for some of the laborers in our village who have not returned from the sea, almost all of them have come. These children and women also have the strength to work," Luo Ya said.

Zhao Qi nodded. He could see that the villagers following Luo Ya were actually full of fear and a little curiosity on their faces, but most of the curious ones were some young and old boys of a small grade.

"Okay, thank you so much. With your help, our work progress will obviously be very fast." Zhao Qi showed a "satisfied" smile on his face.

Seeing Zhao Qi's expression, Luo Ya and the others' emotions became more relaxed.

"By the way, have you had dinner?" Zhao Qi asked at this time, seemingly "causingly".

"Hmm?" Luo Ya was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously said, "What food should I have at this time?"

Luo Ya's question is actually fine. In this era and in this world, it can be said that ordinary people around the world do not know the word breakfast, and even many squire and small businessmen do not know how to eat breakfast.

Three meals a day? I guess only the Han people would be so luxurious. Yes, the Han people who eat breakfast all over the world, or the nobles from various countries have this right.

Ordinary people in other countries dare not say that they can fill their stomachs with two meals a day, let alone three meals a day. Is this a joke?

"How can I work if I don't eat? We have prepared breakfast for you. We have to eat when we work in our great men. Village Chief Luo Ya asked them to line up and have dinner first." Zhao Qi said straightforwardly.

"This..." Luo Ya was stunned. He thought of various possibilities, but he never expected that there was a saying of breakfast, nor did he expect that he would have a meal when he came here.

"This...Shopkeeper Zhao... This is not enough. We are all untouchables and are used to not having breakfast." Luo Ya did not dare to agree, mainly because... he had never experienced this. What kind of routine is this?

"What kind of untouchables, I'll let you eat it, do you want to eat it?" Zhao Qi frowned and spoke with a stern face.

"This...eat..." Seeing Zhao Qi seemed angry, Luo Ya didn't dare to contradict him, so she agreed.

"That's right. Don't forget that you are all Han people now. If you are a Han person, you must understand the rules of Han and abide by the laws of Han. So you can eat as soon as you want. Village Chief Luo, let them line up." Zhao Qi said loudly.
