Chapter 495: Booming Golden Island (Request for Subscription)
Ten hours later, these Silk Grasses were ready to be harvested, but Zhao Hai decided against it. He preferred to let them grow further, as they were still too short. If they were harvested now, Golden Island would revert to its previous state. So, Zhao Hai planned to wait until the Silk Grass had grown longer before harvesting.
When Zhao Hai and Laura arrived at Golden Island, the Silk Grass had already grown to nearly a meter in length, painting the entire island green and vibrant.
Looking at the scene on Golden Island, Laura smiled and said, “Brother Hai, I think it’s time to announce a decree. We can’t let them casually disturb the Silk Grass, or we’ll suffer significant losses.”
Zhao Hai smiled slightly and replied, “Some damage is inevitable, but we can set regulations to ensure everything remains under our control. This grass is money for us.”
Meigen rolled her eyes at Zhao Hai and said, “Brother Hai, do you still care about that little money? How much is this grass really worth?”
Zhao Hai smiled again and said, “Of course, I’m not concerned about that small sum. However, this grass is essential for Golden Island’s development. Enough of that; now that Golden Island is fully prepared, we just need to wait for others.”
Meigen laughed and said, “Brother Hai, is the development of Golden Island really that easy? Look, nearly a month has passed, and no one has come to the island.”
Zhao Hai smiled slightly and replied, “No one has come because I didn’t allow it. Now that we’ve sorted things out here on Golden Island, it’s time to let them come. That’s enough for now; I’ll send a letter to Grandpa as soon as we return.”
Meigen looked at Zhao Hai in confusion, as he hadn’t shared the development situation of Golden Island with them, so she and the others were completely in the dark.
Upon returning to the naval base, Zhao Hai immediately sent letters to the Karlqi Family, Prince Charlie, the Krook Family, and the Shelley Family. In the letters, he detailed his plans and requested their cooperation.
In fact, Lando and the others had long wanted to send people to Golden Island, but Zhao Hai hadn’t agreed. He was waiting until everything was ready before allowing Lando and the others to come.
Once Lando and the others received Zhao Hai’s letter, they couldn’t help but praise him. They thought Zhao Hai’s plan was excellent. With Golden Island gone, it had become very difficult for the pirates to conduct trade, which was a significant loss for the major families on the continent.
However, they regretted not knowing the specific situation on Golden Island, so they could only wait for more concrete news before taking action.
Lando and the others were very clear about this, so after receiving Zhao Hai’s letter, the Karlqi Family immediately dispatched their merchant fleet to Golden Island, as Tianshui City was the closest to the island, allowing them to send people there first.
The second family to move into Golden Island was the Shelley Family. Recently, their business on the continent had been heavily suppressed by the Church of Light. Although they had resolved some issues, their business was still far from its former strength, which was a significant loss for their family. The clan leader of the Shelley Family was quite dissatisfied with their family head’s support for Zhao Hai, and settling on Golden Island was a great opportunity for them.
The third family to establish a presence on Golden Island was Prince Charlie. Although his roots were in Jadewater City, which was farther from Golden Island than Tianshui City, it wasn’t too far either, so they were slightly slower than the Karlqi Family.
The Krook Family was the last to reach Golden Island, as they didn’t have any port cities in their family, forcing them to transfer people from their land-based shops, thus slowing the process significantly.
The arrival of these four families on Golden Island wasn’t surprising to other families on the continent. They all understood the close relationship between these four families and the budah family, so their actions were completely within reason, and no one paid much attention.
