Bringing the Farm to Live in Another World

Chapter 494: Silk Grass

Although there is currently nothing on the island, once it becomes a free port, everything will soon be available. If you want to come to the island to do business, that's fine; however, the island will only provide you with one piece of land, and the rest is up to you to figure out. Whether you want to use the existing caves for business or build your own houses is up to you, and the island can offer some benefits.

If you don't have time to build a house, that's okay; the island can help you construct it, but remember, there will be a fee for this service.

Zhao Hai had already thought it through. At this time, there wasn't much happening at Iron Mountain Fortress, and what about the craftsmen who came with the Aksu Empire? They had now turned into undead beings, and it would be a waste to leave them unused. So Zhao Hai came up with a plan to organize a construction team and have these undead craftsmen work on the island's construction.

What would it be like to have a team of eighth-level undead craftsmen building houses? Just thinking about it made Zhao Hai want to laugh. He believed that if this construction team could go to Earth, no boss would dare to delay their wages.

Zhao Hai first had this construction team build a small building outside the naval base. This building was not intended for the management staff transferred from Iron Mountain Fortress to live in.

These management personnel were actually Laura's former subordinates. They were all capable individuals, and it was a waste to just have them teaching and commanding undead beings at Iron Mountain Fortress.

Zhao Hai didn't initially want to kill those craftsmen and laborers who were working alongside them, but there was no choice. Those people were also craftsmen in the army; when they picked up tools, they were craftsmen, and when they put them down and took up weapons, they could become soldiers. Zhao Hai had no choice but to eliminate them.

What delighted Zhao Hai the most was that many of those he killed this time were mages, mostly of the earth and water elements, as they were working with the craftsmen to build the naval base.

This time, the Aksu Empire had really invested heavily, sending nearly a thousand mages to help, and these mages were not low-level; they were there to establish a naval base in the shortest amount of time to create a fait accompli, allowing for better bargaining with the Roson Empire in the future.

Unfortunately, this time all the advantages fell into Zhao Hai's hands. He had genuinely planned to wait until they set foot on the island to eliminate them, but who could have predicted that they would start building the base as soon as they arrived? How could Zhao Hai give up this opportunity? If you want to build a base, go ahead; once you're done, I will take care of you.

Building a small building didn't require that many craftsmen, so Zhao Hai had them construct a five-story building. The first floor was for office use, while the other floors were for the workers to live in. The remaining craftsmen and laborers began repairing the roads on the island.

Zhao Hai remembered a famous saying from China: "If you want to get rich, you must first build roads." To attract merchants to Golden Island, a better environment was essential, so Zhao Hai also began planning for the entire Golden Island.

What is most abundant on Golden Island? The answer is caves; some of these caves are interconnected, while others are just straight tunnels.

Besides the caves, there was a lot of weeds that needed to be cleared. However, after taking a look at the weeds, Zhao Hai discovered that they were a type he had never seen before. Out of curiosity, he collected a stalk of the weed into his spatial storage, and immediately a prompt sounded: "Thousand-year grass roots grow weed, possessing strong medicinal properties. What appears to be a patch of weeds actually has roots intertwined underground, forming a single grass with strong vitality. It is recommended that the host transfer all of this grass to the space, as the space will improve the grassland and the growth relationship of similar plants, potentially cultivating wood-type spirits."
