Chapter 75: It's getting better and better, so we'll do as she says. ...
"What a huge dock! Where on earth did the Bai family get their power to build such a large dock on an island in the sea?"
“And there’s more than just this island.”
"It's said that the Bai family has been operating on the sea for several generations, and it's only through intermittent efforts that they have achieved such success. Ordinary merchants like us naturally can't compare."
"Has it been in business for generations? No wonder."
The fleet's ships docked one after another. After arriving on the island, we were quickly guided to stay in a restaurant on the island. In addition to accommodation, the restaurant here also allows you to order food.
Unlike other fleets that have come here before, the fleets that have come here many times have long been accustomed to life on the island. They not only use the island as a transit station, but also as a place to relax and unwind.
And this is just one of the islands.
Life at sea is inconvenient, and most of the islands at that time were uninhabited. The few that had people on them were just passing by and were trapped on the island. Bai Miao sent people out to take over the island. Those people were very happy and were even willing to leave on their own initiative to live in more populated places.
Gradually, several islands appeared on the sea for the fleet to rest.
As long as they arrive at one of the islands, the fleet members will get a map and can follow the map to the island for transit and rest. As long as they pay money, they can rest on the island, and the Bai family’s fleet can also provide escort support.
"Miaomiao, this is the news we just received," Bai He handed the note to Bai Miao. "Our fleet has captured a pirate island, and we need to send someone to take over."
"I thought it was a request for support." Bai Miao looked at the contents of the note, walked to the hanging map, and looked for the location of the island to mark it.
Bai He followed behind her and replied with a smile, "Our fleet has the best armor and weapons in the world. Those people not only train day and night, but also eat a lot of food to increase their strength. As long as the enemy's strength is not far superior to ours, our people are capable of fighting."
The thing that Bai He mentioned to increase strength was also brought from the magical plane. It was a powder made by mixing meat and plants containing magical elements and grinding them together.
However, because the things in the magic plane taste strange, the amount of powder added will not be too much, but even so, it is enough to make their people have greater strength than ordinary people.
The three Bai Miao sisters have practiced spiritual power and magic for several years, and their abilities are stronger than those of ordinary people, but they still have no intention of traveling outside the plane. Most of the time when they go to the plane, they still just live nearby.
After all, their home is here. No matter how good the plane is, it does not belong to them. Therefore, apart from occasionally bringing a lot of things from the plane, their communication with the plane is actually weak.
But this is also because I have been really busy in recent years.
Bai Yu and Bai Xi have been adhering to the principle of steady progress. They have not made too many appearances in recent years, but have been expanding production and adding manpower step by step.
Also because of their special style of doing things, every time they expanded their territory, a large number of people would come to join them, and over time their strength became stronger and stronger. Now, except for a few small forces that are still holding on, the "Feng Kingdom" has completely disappeared.
At the same time, the power at sea was also expanding rapidly thanks to Bai Miao's efforts. The pirates who used to be domineering at sea either hid themselves or were beaten and disappeared, and no longer posed a threat to the Bai family's fleet.
Bai Miao marked the island he had snatched this time and looked at Bai He beside him: "Sister He, are you going this time?"
"Can I?" Bai He asked excitedly, then shook her head after a long time, "I'm afraid I can't."
"It's okay. We have to try. Sister He, you're very strong now," Bai Miao pointed to the location on the map. "This island isn't too big. It's just a matter of taking it over. It's not difficult. But its location is good. We can turn it into a tourist attraction."
"Tourist scenic area?" Bai He was surprised. "What does this mean?"
Bai Miao thought about it and, based on what was written in later books, carefully introduced to her what a tourist scenic area is.
Bai He listened to her words, thought for a moment, and nodded. "That's a good idea. Although we already have several islands as rest areas, from a business perspective, the scenic area you mentioned is more popular. This island is also relatively close to our country. When your elder and second sisters have settled their affairs back home, we can take advantage of those wealthy merchant families."
"That's what I thought," Bai Miao said with a smile. "There's a war going on over there right now. Those wealthy businessmen and aristocratic families don't have much power and don't dare to cause trouble. But once the eldest and second sisters have solved all the problems, they will definitely cause trouble. Instead of waiting for them to do so, it's better to give them something to do."
Bai He looked at her seriously, waiting for her to continue.
Bai Miao raised his hand and pointed at the map: "There are several islands here. We will only occupy one island. The rest can be paid for by those wealthy businessmen."
"But with so many scenic spots, will they believe they can really make money?"
"It's going to be a bit difficult. After all, the country has just started to develop, so there may not be that many people willing to come out and play. But things have to be done. Let's start with the infrastructure," Bai Miao said, clapping his hands. "When my eldest and second sisters take over the entire country, let those wealthy businessmen pay for infrastructure first. That's not right. The first step should be to divide the land and fight against the local tyrants..."
Bai Miao was thinking about what was written in the book.
In later generations, except for that evil wind, other places developed very well, which shows that such a model can make a country strong.
The best time for national change was when Bai Yu and Bai Xi had just conquered the world.
Although some things are difficult to do, not all of the development processes described in the book are impossible.
Thinking of this, Bai Miao immediately sat down, took a pen and paper and began to write the next schedule.
Bai He stood by and watched for a while. Seeing that she was immersed in her own thoughts, she did not disturb her and turned around and walked out of her room.
Soon, she saw her mother and aunt weaving. She walked over and took a look, then exclaimed, "It's amazing every time I see this. They're both made of wood, but how come this one can weave so fast?"
"Yes, we always say that. If we had two looms like these, we wouldn't have to make a living on the water. With just a little time, we could save enough money to buy a house on land."
"It's our fault that we didn't realize earlier that Miaomiao was so smart."
"That's right."
"But Miaomiao is so smart, she can live well no matter where she is."
"Oh, by the way, Xiao He, what did Miao Miao call you to do?"
"I was looking for her. A few days ago, a fleet that went out to sea occupied another island and needed someone to take it over. Miaomiao asked me to go," Bai He recounted the conversation she had just had with Bai Miao. "I'm a little worried."
"What are you afraid of? We still have the people in the fleet to help you."
"Xiao He, you are already very capable now. Since Miao Miao said it's okay, you can go."
After hearing what the two said, Bai He hesitated for a moment and then nodded.
The Bai family's title of "Sea Overlord" is not just talk. Now the strength of the Bai family's fleet is not only limited to the three Bai Miao sisters, but also includes everyone in the fleet.
But even so, Bai Miao and the other two could easily suppress these people, which made these people in the fleet not only powerful but also extremely loyal.
Bai He went out to sea with them, on the one hand to gain experience, and on the other hand as a member of the Bai family, she also needed to grow up.
At the same time that Bai He took the fleet out to take over the island, Bai Yu and Bai Xi's situation in the country also made great progress.
With the subtle development over the years, not only the people in the territory are convinced of the power of the two, but many people outside the territory have also heard of the power of the Bai family.
For the common people, being able to live a stable life is what they pursue. Therefore, even if those small forces captured able-bodied men to fight, most of them were extremely perfunctory, and countless people were captured, which also made the strength of the small forces increasingly weaker.
By now, these small forces have gradually lost their combat effectiveness.
"Surrender and still put forward conditions to us?"
"It's not that I can't agree with them."
“Big sister——!”
"Take a look at this Miaomiao just sent over," Bai Yu handed the document to Bai Xi. "I think Miaomiao's idea is great. Although we're going to take over the entire country soon, if we don't thoroughly clean up the mess, those big landowners will still occupy the vast majority of the land resources. But killing them outright would be too brutal. It's better to use a roundabout approach."
Bai Xi opened the file and read it carefully.
After reading it, he was surprised and said, "Southerners go north, and northerners go south. This is really a good idea. It helps us solve a troublesome problem at once. In this way, we don't have to worry about the local tyrants affecting us, and these surrendered small forces can also be properly dealt with."
"Not only this, but also these," Bai Yu took out a large stack of plans, "With Miaomiao as our think tank, we will do as she says in the future. Even if the country's development is not extremely good, it will at least not be worse than before."
"It wouldn't be bad anyway. We brought high-yield sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn, as well as new looms and boats. Even without the plans, things would be fine," Bai Xi said, looking down at the pile of plans and smiling. "But with Miaomiao's plans, the country's development will definitely get better and better in the future."
"This isn't just Miaomiao's idea; it's also a long-term plan," Bai Yu said, flipping through the plan book and pointing to the dates written on it. "The first step is the five- and ten-year plans. Xiaoxi, are you ready?"
Bai Xi nodded immediately.
"Sister, I'm ready."
"Really? In our situation, even if we don't take on these jobs, we'll still be able to live a good life. But if we take on these things, we'll all be very busy in the future. If you're determined, you can't go back on your word."
"I won't regret it," Bai Xi shook her head. "I want to see this country get better and better, and Miaomiao worked so hard to write such a thick plan. If we don't do it, wouldn't it be a waste of her hard work?"
The two looked at each other.
"Then let's work together."
"Um!"
