Spoilers for The Red Mansion, Daiyu’s mentality is broken

As for Haizhou, Zhou Tong is recovering well.

After half a month, he was able to get out of bed and walk on his own.

I'm afraid it will take another ten days and a half before normal operations can resume.

Seeing that Zhou Tong was fine, Jia Huan was completely relieved.

Qin Huaiyu, on the other hand, led the five thousand subordinates who followed him for meals and prepared to move them all to Haitian Island.

Soon, their ship docked at the pier of Haitian Island.

Soon people from Haitian Island came to greet them.

"Mr. Qin, our island owner has already set off to greet the young master. But we didn't expect the young master to come so quickly, so we have to ask the young master to wait for a while."

Qin Huaiyu said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, the wind happened to be favorable on the road. We came a little early."

"You don't need to greet us, we will just wait here for a while."

"Then Mr. Qin, please help yourself. If you need anything, just give me your instructions."

Qin Huaiyu waved his hand, led everyone to the dock, and waited patiently.

Qin Huaiyu was walking alone along the pier, thinking about something on his mind.

At this time, Qin Huaiyu's mood was very complicated.

There is happiness, and there is also disappointment.

Naturally, I was happy to find a place where the brothers could have a good meal.

And the one who is lost, naturally, will have to rely on others from now on.

At the same time, Qin Huaiyu didn't have much expectations for Haitian Island.

Qin Huaiyu had been to Haitian Island several times before. Haitian Island was quite large and had prosperous trade.

But the development of Haitian Island is just like that, far from being prosperous.

This is just a habitat, so naturally there is no sense of expectation.

Soon, Qin Huaiyu walked out of the pier and saw the road to Haitian Island in front of him.

This road couldn't help but make a look of shock appear on his face.

This road was very wide and smooth. It was completely different from the narrow and muddy road in his impression.

Moreover, the road was not paved with bluestone. Qin Huaiyu did not see what material was used.

He walked up and stamped his feet several times, and soon his feet became numb from stamping on them.

This made Qin Huaiyu curious about the materials used for this road.

And soon, Qin Huaiyu heard a low roar from the front, and the road surface felt like it was shaking slightly.

Qin Huaiyu raised his head and saw a row of black spots on the road.

These black spots gradually grew larger in his sight.

Soon, their original appearance appeared in Qin Huaiyu's sight.

This is a team.

The vehicles in this convoy shocked Qin Huaiyu deeply.

Because some of the cars in these convoys look like four-wheeled carriages.

But these carriages did not have horses pulling them in front.

No cattle or other animals were used, and they ran very fast.

For a moment, Qin Huaiyu couldn't help but doubt his life.

How on earth did these carriages run without any animals pulling them? And running so fast?

The convoy was getting closer and closer, the roar became louder and louder, and black smoke billowed out from the front of these strange cars, like monsters, which made Qin Huaiyu shudder.

Not long after, the motorcade came to a stop beside Qin Huaiyu.

A group of people got out of the car.

The leader is a young man with handsome appearance and amiable attitude.

He greeted him from afar: "Is Mr. Qin in front of you?"

Qin Huaiyu couldn't help but said: "It's me, I wonder who you are?"

The young man said gently: "My name is Jia Yun. My third uncle asked me to pick up Young Master Qin and his party today."

"I came to Huizi as early as possible, but I didn't expect that I was still a step late, which made Mr. Qin wait for a long time. I hope Mr. Qin will respect my rudeness."

Since Qin Huaiyu has decided to defect here, he naturally knows something about Haitian Island.

He knew that Jia Yun was Jia Huan's nephew and was considered the owner of Haitian Island.

Qin Huaiyu immediately said: "I have met Island Master Jia, and Island Master Jia has not been late."

"It's true that our fleet encountered a strong tailwind at sea and arrived much earlier. Besides, we only just arrived."

"By the way, I dare to ask Island Master Jia, what kind of car did you drive here just now? What kind of garbage car did you use? Why did it go so fast?"

Hearing this question, Jia Yun suppressed her laughter and explained seriously: "Master Qin, this kind of vehicle is called a steam locomotive, and it is powered by a steam engine."

"It doesn't require any animal power to pull the cart, so as long as it has enough fuel, it doesn't even know it's tired."

Next, Jia Yun introduced the principles of steam locomotives in detail.

Qin Huaiyu listened carefully, but still didn't understand, but still felt that the steam locomotive looked very powerful.

Next, Jia Yun asked everyone in the Qin family to get in the car.

Because more than 5,000 people from the Qin family came this time, Jia Yun mobilized almost all the steam locomotives on the island, which was barely enough.

Everyone in the Qin family was amazed when they saw the steam locomotive.

After the steam locomotive started running, all of them were even more shocked and exclaimed.

Qin Huaiyu was invited by Jia Yun to his specially made lead car.

The two talked all the way and when they got off the car, they had already begun to call themselves brothers.

The steam locomotive unit stopped at the settlement area.

After Qin Huaiyu and other members of the Qin family got out of the car, they were all stunned when they saw rows of uniformly styled and neatly planned houses in front of them.

Qin Huaiyu couldn't help but ask: "Xian brother, don't you know where this is?"

Jia Yun smiled slightly and said, "Brother Qin, this is the residence we prepared for you brothers in advance."

"Because of the rush of time, it is inevitable that there will be some lack of preparation. I hope Brother Qin can forgive me."

Qin Huaiyu asked in even more surprise: "Are you kidding me, dear brother? How can you build so many houses in just a few days?"

Jia Yun smiled and said: "These houses were naturally not built in the past few days."

"In fact, Haitian Island has been recruiting people recently. Many people have landed on the island recently."

"Therefore, we built many resettlement areas in advance. This area is the best location and I specially selected it."

"In each house, I also ordered people to put in all kinds of food and daily necessities."

"If there is still something missing, Brother Qin just come to me."

The recent development strategy of Haitian Island is to build a large number of houses and recruit a large number of manpower.

And this is the development strategy set by Jia Huan.

The aboriginal people on Haitian Island have always lived a low-demand life. Their living needs are very low, and their lives are not considered wealthy.

This is not in line with Haitian Island’s development strategy.

They must be rolled up. Only when they are rolled up can they form a strong driving force.

First of all, we need to make them rich and form the habit of consumption.

Jia Huan has a lot of idle funds and materials, but he cannot give them to them in vain. This will only develop their bad habit of getting something for nothing.

Therefore, Jia Huan decided to build a large number of houses on Haitian Island and vigorously develop real estate.

As soon as real estate started, the aborigines on Haitian Island soon had money on hand.

Having money in hand will stimulate consumption. And even if they don't consume, Jia Huan actually doesn't care too much.

Anyway, the money in their hands was printed by Haitian Island itself...

If they don't consume, it means everyone is working for nothing.

At the same time, Haitian Island is still recruiting people.

Haitian Island has entered a period of rapid development, with plenty of opportunities and high incomes.

You can be assigned a house when you enter the island. As long as you work for Haitian Island for ten years, the house is your own.

And they also allocate land and jobs. Such treatment can be said to be impossible to find even with a lantern.

After becoming famous, there were countless fishermen in the surrounding coastal areas who wanted to join Haitian Island.

The reason why Jia Huan recruited a large number of people was that Haitian Island was vast and sparsely populated, and the population was too sparse.

Only an influx of large numbers of people can promote the further prosperity of Haitian Island.

The second is to dilute the indigenous people, change the indigenous people, and ultimately achieve the goal of getting everyone involved.

Judging from the current situation, Haitian Island’s preliminary work has been quite successful.

Soon, the five thousand people of the Qin family were settled.

Qin Huaiyu inspected their new homes and found that the layout of each home was the same.

Each home is fully equipped with furniture and other items.

The food stored in it is enough to feed a family of three for a year.

Therefore, even if they cannot find any work within three to five months, they will not have to worry about food and drink.

Naturally, Qin Huaiyu couldn't be more satisfied with this arrangement.

And the five thousand people of the Qin family, after two days of rest.

Jia Yun, the actual island owner of Haitian Island, took the initiative to come to the door.

Currently, Haitian Island is undergoing major infrastructure construction, not only building houses, but also building roads.

In addition, various machinery factories are also recruiting workers.

Currently, Haitian Island is preparing to improve its looms.

Jia Huan has already drawn the pattern of Jenny's loom for the Mo family.

As long as the Mo family makes the Jenny loom, it can be put into production soon.

This will increase the weaving efficiency tenfold and a hundredfold, and will trigger a major earthquake in the textile industry in Daxia.

Therefore, currently, all walks of life on Haitian Island are in urgent need of manpower.

Jia Yun came to Qin Huaiyu this time to ask Qin Huaiyu whether the Qin family wanted to work in various workshops.

Qin Huaiyu naturally couldn't ask for this.

Soon, in just a few days, thousands of Qin family members entered various workshops to work.

The wages in the workshop are almost twice as high as those outside, and the treatment is generous.

This made the Qin family fall in love with their new life on Haitian Island even more.

Of course, not everyone in the Qin family works in the workshop.

There are no more two thousand young men. They were incorporated into the Haitian Island Guards and received training like other guards.

However, these two thousand people were not dispersed, and they formed an army alone.

And their general is still Qin Huaiyu.

Jia Huan had no intention of swallowing up Qin Huaiyu.

In fact, there is no need to swallow them all in one bite.

When they stay on Haitian Island for a long time, they will naturally be assimilated into one of our own.

After the Qin family officially stabilized, everyone had smiles on their faces.

Qin Huaiyu is also very satisfied with his choice.

Next, Qin Huaiyu left Haitian Island and went to Haizhou to find Jia Huan.

"Lord, I know the overseas base of the red-haired thieves. I can lead the way for my lord and annihilate all the red-haired thieves."

Jia Huan looked at Qin Huaiyu with a smile and said, "Brother Qin, you don't need to call me lord, you should call me young master."

"You bring good news. When we are ready, we will assemble the army and completely wipe out the red-haired bandits."

"But before that, we'd better get more detailed information about the red thief."

"Know yourself and the enemy, and you will never be in danger in a hundred battles. Every time we have more information about the enemy, our brothers will suffer fewer casualties."

After hearing this, Qin Huaiyu couldn't help but said: "Yes, Master, I will send my brothers to continue to find out about the red-haired thief. Try to get more information."

After Qin Huaiyu left, deputy general Zhou Tong came out of the side room.

Now that Qin Huaiyu is one of his own, there is no need to inform Zhou Tong in advance.

Just when Qin Huaiyu arrived, deputy general Zhou Tongzheng came to Jia Huan to report to him.

Upon hearing the news of Qin Huaiyu's arrival, Jia Huan asked Zhou Tong to wait in a side room.

Zhou Tong is a chivalrous character who values ​​his promises and keeps his word.

His life was saved by Jia Huan. Zhou Tong came here to express his determination. Zhou Tong is willing to pledge himself to save his life——

Well, it was Zhou Tong who made it clear that he was willing to follow Jia Huan's lead from now on.

Zhou Tong's performance was expected by Jia Huan, and Jia Huan readily accepted it.

Therefore, after Qin Huaiyu arrived, Jia Huan asked Zhou Tong to wait in the side room without avoiding suspicion.

After Qin Huaiyu left, Zhou Tong came out of the side room and said to Jia Huan in a deep voice: "General, please lead the army to destroy the red-haired bandit."

Hearing Zhou Tong's request, Jia Huan frowned and said, "General Zhou, you are seriously injured and have not fully recovered yet."

"Furthermore, you are the commander-in-chief of the army. What you should do is to command from the center, rather than take the lead and charge forward."

"If you are injured, where will the army be placed?"

Zhou Tong licked his lips and said with a smile: "General, my injury has recovered very well, and won't it take some time before the red-haired bandits are wiped out?"

"Also, general, that's my style. I like the passionate atmosphere of fighting on the battlefield. Isn't there a general in the middle of the command?"

"The final general is willing to be the general's vanguard all his life and charge into battle for the general."

This guy is so oily. He was not like this before.

Jia Huan said helplessly: "Okay, as you wish. However, this time you can only direct from the center, and you are not allowed to charge into the battle."

"When you fully recover from your injuries, you will have the opportunity to charge into battle in the future."

Zhou Tong said helplessly: "Yes, general, I will obey your order."

After Zhou Tong left, Jia Huan couldn't help but feel complacent.

At present, the development of Haitian Island is getting faster and faster.

It completely met and even exceeded Jia Huan's expectations.

At present, he has a lot of talented people under his command, and it is no longer the previous state where no one is available.

The next step is to assemble various armies and jointly attack the Red Thief base.

Currently, they have available troops of 10,000 Red Flame Army and 12,000 Guards.

Altogether there were twenty-two thousand people.

Judging from the paper data, it is already twice as many as the red-haired thief.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the red-haired thief has hidden strength.

And the red-haired thief's base must have many guns.

To encircle and suppress the Red Hair Thief base, they have to take certain risks. (End of chapter)
