"Tomorrow! Arrange for them to see me tomorrow morning."
"Great! Also, development has begun on the west side of the island and at Pagoda Reef. Do you have any other plans?"
Pagoda Reef is a small island reef near the west side of the island. Although it is not large, it is high enough that its nearly 150-square-meter pagoda top will never be submerged, no matter how high the tide rises.
Are you planning to build a lighthouse on Pagoda Reef?
“This Pagoda Reef is no ordinary reef. You’ll see for yourself when you have time.”
"oh?"
"And the western territory, you didn't even finish developing it last time. This time, you must completely eliminate the ferocious beasts there."
Are there still wild beasts?
It seems I have quite a few tasks to complete since I arrived.
"We should preserve more of the natural landscape during our development; we can't just pile up reinforced concrete, can we?"
"Of course we should keep the attractions. You can see the design drawings tomorrow! I had a famous designer design them."
We really need to plan this out properly.
Not only do we need to build Gam Island, but we also need to make money. With so many people to support, how can we not do some profitable business?
The party ended after 11 p.m.
I sent someone to escort the people from the academy back before returning to the city lord's mansion with Aunt Jun and the others.
I still have to have a short meeting when I get home.
Lu Qianning first explained the current situation.
The island's biggest shortages were vegetables and grains.
However, this place is close to the Kingdom of Wosha and another small country, so food is not a problem. The only problem is that it lacks someone to manage it.
Lu Qianning is still in charge of this part-time.
Previously, these were handled by merchants on the island. Lu Qianning was afraid that people would maliciously inflate prices, so she asked the city government to intervene and make timely adjustments.
"Then let Xu Yiting handle this. We're not after money; we just want it to play a regulatory role."
Xu Yiting studied accounting, so this little thing is no problem for her.
Xu Yiting nodded.
"As for electricity, there is only one thermal power plant on the island, which can currently support the entire island's electricity needs. If we develop it vigorously and increase production, it may not be enough."
I do have very complete nuclear power technology.
It is entirely possible to build on the island.
Moreover, unlike ordinary nuclear power plants, it uses thorium, an element whose radioactivity is not as high as uranium, making it safer.
"I'll provide the blueprints, and we'll build a nuclear power plant. In addition, we can also take advantage of the tides and sea breezes on this island."
Besides the military factory, we also need to build other factories. Let's use as many indigenous people as possible for the workforce!
Other tasks can be replaced by robots, which will save on wages.
"Um!"
Next came issues like taxes and public security, which gave me a headache.
Lu Qianning noticed that I was somewhat troubled by these trivial matters, so she glanced at the wall clock:
"Let's stop here for now, after all, things can't be done all at once."
"Okay! That's settled then. From now on, I'll leave these things to you. I'll figure out what to do if you need anything."
After I finished speaking, everyone went to rest.
I thought Lu Qianning would come to see me, but she didn't.
I guess they saw I had just arrived and wanted me to get some rest.
The next day, I brought Xu Yiting, Xiao Qingwan, and Lu Qianning to the city government.
People from Mei Country, Fa Country, Yangben Country, Wosha Country, and Goose Country have arrived.
I let the people from Meiguo, Faguo, and Yangben come in first.
They are all presidents of guilds from their respective countries. Since there are no foreign envoys or offices here, they spontaneously organized guilds to stand up for their own people.
All three of them were doing it for the same thing.
Just two days ago, a businessman from Mei Kingdom got into a conflict with people from Fa Kingdom and Yangben, resulting in the arrest of the entire guard team.
The three of them came to demand the person's return and to ask me to settle the matter.
"I'll look into the matter and see if I release him or not. As for judging the matter, you can discuss it yourselves."
The conflict between the godfather and godson, can you please judge this?
President Mei: "President Zheng! You can't handle this like this! You're the island owner, after all."
"Every extra day you keep them closed, our merchants suffer even greater losses."
"And what do you mean?"
"Of course we'll investigate now, immediately."
Speaker Mei was quite blunt, and I noticed the other two also looked gloating.
This seems contradictory?
"Fine! I'll investigate right now. If I find out you guys are the ones doing something fishy, I'll chop you all up. Guards!"
"Yes!" Tan Yao replied as she entered.
Upon hearing this, all three felt a pang of guilt, but I didn't give them a chance to back out.
"You know, their merchants have had a conflict."
"Yes, Mr. Zheng!"
"Alright! Take these three people with me, I'll go take a look."
The prison on Gaim Island is located not far from the city lord's mansion, and was converted from an old office building.
The area above is the guard post, and the area below is the prison.
Tan Yao and I led those three people all the way there.
A dispute between merchants resulted in the detention of more than forty people.
"Bring their ringleaders into the interrogation room."
After I finished speaking, the president of the Three Kingdoms Association also wanted to go in.
"Huh? What?"
President Mei: "Of course we'll go in and take a look!"
"You think you can watch me investigate? Dream on! Get out! Stay outside."
The first group they brought in were merchants from the United States. My heart skipped a beat, and of course, I asked them whatever they asked.
It turns out they knew I was coming and deliberately wanted to cause me trouble, distract me from my work, and mainly to annoy me.
Even after I stopped hypnotizing him, the person still looked arrogant.
"Shall I show you a magic trick?"
