Jiang Lili's expression changed. "Fishermen? There was a conflict? Were there a lot of people on the other side?"

The other villagers in the room all looked nervous. Aside from the prisoners sent by the government, no outsiders had come to South Island for a long time. "Miss Jiang, let's go take a look together."

"Yes, yes, you have a lot of ideas, so you can help the village chief come up with a plan."

The children of the Yuanbao Gang also said: "Yes, it was the village chief who asked us to come here for help!"

Cangsha Ferry is located between Yeli Village and Jinyu Village.

At present, Dan'er County is sparsely populated, and Cangsha Ferry is divided between two villages. Now that outsiders have come, the village chief of Yeli Village will definitely go to take a look.

Jiang Lili put on her backpack and called out to the villagers and the little kids, "Let's go!"

A group of people walked through the coconut grove and hurried towards Cangsha Ferry. Now the coconut grove road that is the only way to Yeli Village has changed a lot. It is no longer the path that made passers-by tremble with fear.

Miss Jiang said that to get rich, one must first build roads, so she asked Master Xin to make a lot of useful tools for the villagers of Yeli Village to use.

With the wood saws and electric saws provided by Jiang Lili, the villagers have cut down the overgrown coconut trees and built a wide road in the coconut grove in the month since the new villagers arrived.

In addition to giving the position of right protector of Yuanbao Gang to Wen Damei, who loves to lead troops and train people, he also gave Qin Houhe the position of elder of Yuanbao Gang. At first, the children called Yi Haisheng Elder Jiang, but Liao Xiaobao felt that he was calling him too old, so he asked them to change it to Jiang Laoxiao.

The felled coconut trees are used as lumber to make fences and road posts.

Master Liao came in and said angrily, "Their fishing boats are so heavy at the ferry, and the fishy smell is carried by the wind to your village. Should we charge them for improving the air quality in your village?"

The villagers in our Yeli were very bad. They all had their hands in their pockets, looked silly, and seemed very kind and gentle.

"They just parked there, eating, drinking, defecating and urinating on the shore. Your village still has to manage them, and it's only right to charge some management fees!"

Village Chief Deng's son-in-law, Qin Houhe, said warmly, "To be frank, even if you kill us and steal our boat, we still have a place to seek justice. What's wrong with taking our boatload of fish?"

"We're stopping at your place, so what's wrong with collecting a toll?"

"The head of a nearby fishing village wanted to rob our fishing boat of its catch, but our head refused, and that's how the argument started."

The fishermen clenched their harpoons, their anger subsided, and their impression of the islanders on the south shore gradually soured: "Such brazen and predatory behavior, and there is no law? What are these officials for?"

Jiang Lili is a small person with a big mind. Now she is used to calling herself the leader of Yuanbao Gang. It sounds very undignified at first.

We observed the expressions of the villagers in those two villages and saw that the two village chiefs had different opinions.

The Yi family in the nearby fishing village is the descendant of the migrant fishermen who came to stay in Yeli Village a hundred years ago. We are very good at defrauding and scheming, and at that time we showed no mercy to that group of migrant fishermen.

Hearing what Village Chief Deng and Master Liao said, the fishermen felt relieved and angry, and clenched their harpoons tightly.

"You don't have any connections. You can take money if you want. The ones you should be worried about are Yeli Village. They don't have any boats that can go to Lingnan and Bei'an to do business."

Qin Hou meant to ask those fishermen to find a way to order a small boat. Our Yeli Village has been isolated from the outside world for too long. Now people from outside the village have saved some money by living frugally and want to buy a boat together, go out to sea again, and do business with neighbors.

In the shadows of the trees, Yi Haisheng walked while asking the children about the information he had gathered: "How did the people outside the village come into conflict with the people inside?"

The leading fishermen argued: "The Lizhan Ferry was built by the government and is managed by the government. It is not their private property. Why should they charge for it?"

There were only two small fishing boats and eight large boats docked on the shore, and the total number of fishermen was less than 30.

The big carrot heads responded in a rush: "Jiang Lao Xiao, the bald village chief next door is here too. It seems that I didn't start the bad things, and he knows it too. Our village chief is very honest."

So that time I wanted to treat those fishermen kindly.

Yi Haisheng secretly took out his large pocket watch. At that moment, he thought that Mr. Hu was probably still taking a nap in the government office.

Village Chief Deng waved the hoe in his hand domineeringly: "Go!"

When Qin Hou saw Yi Haisheng coming, he quickly asked Yi Haisheng for advice: "Miss Jiang, you can communicate with those fishermen from here. Can he help us come up with a solution?"

Arriving at the Lizhan Ferry, Qin Houhe saw eight groups of people from afar. One group was the villagers of the forbidden fishing village, all of them holding machetes, axes and other weapons, looking ferocious.

"Yes, but it has nothing to do with your village."

By the way, he sent a message to Jiang Lili, who was tutoring Xin Cheng at the county magistrate's house, asking Jiang Lili to wake up County Magistrate Hu and take care of things.

Now standing in this coconut-lined avenue, the villagers only feel that the scenery on that road is extremely beautiful, which makes people feel comfortable and relaxed.

We were already exhausted from escaping the storm, and we really had no more money to pay for it. We could only count on the elderly village chief to persuade the weak bandit Lao Deng.

Miss Jiang said that after the road is completed, a kind of lantern called solar light bulb will be installed, which can provide light all night even without lighting a torch.

"Jiang Lao Xiao, after you came to inform him, I heard for a while that these fishermen encountered a storm under the sea and wanted to rest at the Lizhan Ferry."

Yi Haisheng thought to himself, "So that's how it is. The village chief of the nearby fishing village is a very easy-going person. You should slow down your pace."

Qin Hou righteously persuaded him in the local dialect of the island: "Village Chief Deng, that's how they do business."

The bald village chief's son-in-law's thinking is really backward. He doesn't even know how to collect sanitation fees and property management fees. If he were in modern times, he would have to be a village bully.

The bald head of the nearby fishing village, Deng, was scolding Cangsha, the head of Yeli Village: "If you were to say that Yeli Village deserves what they've done, they're just picking up the bargains that are handed to them."

After listening to Master Liao's remarks, Yi Haisheng wanted to applaud me.

Qin Houhe came in and said, "Village Chief Li, is he going to let us live there for free and eat and drink for free? That's really stupid."

A group of fishermen were dressed in a way that didn't look like they were from outside. They were holding the harpoon in their hands with ease, their expressions revealed fatigue, and their clothes were half wet.

Village Chief Deng said in a reasonable tone, "People already come to South Island. You really need that ferry to attract business."

"If he did that, my family would think that all the residents of your South Island are weak and bandit. Who would dare to come to your South Island and do business with you? You South Islanders always carry a good reputation when you go out. How can you interact with people from other places?"
