Under the guidance of this group of "local snakes" who have been hanging out in this sea area all year round, this huge investment fleet has been unexpectedly smooth.
It was calm and calm along the way, and we did not encounter the huge waves that those people on land imagined in their minds, let alone an attack by a Sea Soul Beast.
As for those sporadic pirates who are said to be everywhere and kill without blinking an eye, after seeing the purple pearl flag fluttering in the wind and the evil star standing on the bow of the ship, they were so frightened that they rolled away as far as they could.
This also made Prince Xue Xing and Ning Fengzhi, who had been nervous, really feel the "ocean order" that Nan Feng mentioned before.
However, when these five giant ships like sea fortresses finally slowly sailed into the harbor of Purple Pearl Island, everyone set foot on this legendary "Pirate Holy Land" with great expectations...
All the big shots at the Heaven Dou Empire collectively fell into a long silence.
Poor! Broken! Chaotic!
This is the first and most intuitive visual impact that Purple Pearl Island brought to them!
Looking at it, the so-called port is just a simple trestle randomly piled up with a few rotten logs and broken stones.
The buildings on the island are even more appalling. Most of them are rickety thatched houses and dilapidated wooden houses, crowded together in disorder, without even a decent stone road.
Prince Xue Xing opened his eyes wide and looked at a few islanders not far away who were wearing patched and ragged clothes and looking at them timidly. His whole body was in a mess.
"This... is this the pirate's nest that dominates the sea and makes coastal cities fearful?"
Prince Xue Xing pointed at the building complex that could be called a slum, with a look of disbelief on his face. "I thought that these pirates robbed houses at sea every day and robbed so many gold and silver treasures, how could they make their own homes splendid and extravagant?"
"This is the result?! This kind of poverty is not even as good as my Heaven Dou Empire backcountry in the most remote mountainous areas! Where is the money they robbed? Could it be that they threw it all into the sea to feed the fish?"
Ning Fengzhi, who was standing aside, also frowned and his eyes were filled with astonishment.
In fact, before coming here, because of Nan Feng's words, his expectations for this pirate island were already very low.
However, after seeing the well-equipped Zi Zhenzhu at sea and the group of pirate sailors who had been trained by Nan Feng to be barely disciplined, Ning Fengzhi subconsciously raised his expectations for Purple Pearl Island a little higher.
But now that I have seen this place with my own eyes... To be honest, Ning Fengzhi really can't find any other word to describe it except "poor and destitute".
This is not a pirate force that dominates one side. This infrastructure is not even as impressive as those bandit cottages on land that dominate the mountain!
Seeing the stunned expressions of these land dignitaries, Nan Feng rolled his eyes, put his hands behind his head, and explained slowly:
"Okay, don't act like you've never seen the world. The survival rules of pirates are completely different from those sects and aristocratic families on land that pay attention to inheritance."
"These pirates are people who risk their lives on the sea with their heads in their waistbands. Wandering on the sea, no one knows whether the next time they go to sea or the next time they commit robbery, they will directly encounter a shipwreck or a cruel attack, and end up with the ship destroyed and everyone killed."
Nan Feng kicked away a pebble at his feet and said with a hint of mockery in his tone, "So, their creed is 'If you have wine today, you will get drunk tomorrow'. Once they get the money, they will go to casinos and Wenrou Township to squander it all as soon as they land. There is no concept of saving money for infrastructure."
"As for those big pirates who have a little bit of brains and ideals, after they have accumulated a certain amount of savings, they have long since washed up their hands and changed their clean identities to become rich men in your two inland empires. As for these ordinary pirates who stay on the island and continue to live their lives..."
Nan Feng spread his hands, "You can't expect these illiterate people to have any long-term economic thinking."
Hearing this cruel and true "pirate sociology", Ning Fengzhi and Prince Xue Xing looked at each other and were immediately speechless.
"Actually, the scene you see now is pretty good."
Nan Feng looked around at the open spaces that had been temporarily cleaned up by Zi Zhenzhu: "You haven't seen that when I first came to the island some time ago, this place was filled with disgusting filth and garbage. That's what it is truly unsightly. The current environment is at least still safe."
Having said this, Nan Feng turned around and looked at Ning Fengzhi and others behind him, with an extremely calm "hands-off shopkeeper" smile on his face:
"Okay, now that I've told you all the details, you've seen with your own eyes the potential of this island."
"Next, according to our agreement, how to plan the port, how to build shops, and how to build fortifications will all depend on the top craftsmen and funds you bring."
Nan Feng pointed at the pirates not far away who were being gathered by Zi Zhenzhu and stood upright, and said in a big way:
"If it's a hard-working job like moving stones, cutting down trees and building roads, don't be polite. You can use these pirates on the island as you like."
"As long as I'm here, they will be absolutely obedient when they work!"
The top craftsmen brought by Ning Fengzhi were extremely efficient. After conducting an extremely detailed survey of the terrain and hydrology of Purple Pearl Island, a vigorous infrastructure construction frenzy completely kicked off on this pirate island.
According to the rules set by Nan Feng - if you want to be rich, build roads first!
The craftsmen directed the group of shirtless pirates, and the first thing they started was to use flat and hard bluestone slabs to pave wide and straight roads on the desert island, perfectly connecting the originally scattered residential areas with the future port working area.
Of course, since we want to build the largest maritime trade duty-free zone in the mainland, the island's "city appearance" must pass the test.
Nan Feng directly ordered that all those thatched houses that were dilapidated and even leaking were bulldozed.
With the support of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's huge funds, rows of clean, tidy, and extremely stable brick bungalows have risen from the ground, completely solving the basic housing problem for local aborigines and low-level pirates.
After completing the most basic livelihood protection, the craftsmen began to show their true skills and carry out drastic development and planning of Purple Pearl Island's core business district.
The deep-water port has been fully expanded, enough to berth hundreds of giant merchant ships at the same time;
Neatly planned shopping streets are beginning to take shape;
In order to welcome the wealthy businessmen from all over the continent in the future, special high-end residential areas for external use are also under construction in full swing.
In the center of this business district, a "maritime auction house" with a scale and specification that is even comparable to that of the Heaven Dou City auction house has laid a solid foundation.
Planning first, then construction, everything is progressing in an orderly manner.
After such extremely terrifying manpower and material resources were poured down, a year passed quietly without realizing it.
In just one year, it can be said that Purple Pearl Island has undergone earth-shaking changes, it is simply a brand new look!
The original pirate den that was filled with the smell of sea and with garbage and excrement everywhere was gone.
Instead, there is a seaport town that is beginning to take shape, clean and tidy, and full of vitality and vitality.
The residents on the island have all replaced the tattered and patched linen and put on clean and tidy clothes brought by the Heaven Dou Empire; they have moved into new houses that can protect them from wind and rain and no longer freeze in winter.
The most basic problems of survival and food and clothing have been completely solved.
At the same time, the group of accompanying doctors and auxiliary departments Soul Master brought by Ning Fengzhi also played a huge role in Purple Pearl Island.
There are many elderly people on this island, and most of them have suffered from various serious diseases because they have lived in a harsh environment with precarious life and poor medical conditions all year round.
Malnutrition and rheumatic bone pain are chronic diseases that exist in almost every islander.
With the arrival of this group of doctors, a large number of precious medicinal materials were boiled into decoctions and distributed free of charge.
The condition of those lonely old people who once had to wait for death in pain has been greatly alleviated; those children with sallow faces and thin muscles finally have a trace of rosy color on their faces.
This huge change, which is real and visible to the naked eye, is like a heavy hammer, hitting the heart of every Purple Pearl Island islander and pirate.
It wasn't until this moment that they finally realized that the mysterious "Demon God Douluo" Nan Feng had not been deceiving them from the beginning!
Not only did he really get mountains of gold and silver from the great emperor and the first sect in the interior, but he was also really fulfilling his original promise and giving everyone a way to survive, an unprecedented bright road!
For a time, the entire Purple Pearl Island atmosphere underwent an extremely subtle and profound change.
Even those sharp-headed pirates who were once unruly and only knew how to kill people and steal goods, when they looked at Nan Feng, their eyes were no longer just out of the simple fear of absolute force that they had at the beginning.
Many people, especially middle-level and high-level leaders like the old soul emperors John and Zi Zhenzhu, and even ordinary pirates at the lowest level, have sincerely begun to believe in, and even fanatically worship, this new boss with extraordinary means.
After all, when everyone becomes a pirate, isn't it just to earn a living and live like a human being?
Now you don't have to put your head in your belt every day to fight the waves on the sea, and you don't have to worry about being hacked to death by your enemies one day. As long as you work according to the rules and patrol on guard every day, you will be fed and clothed. In the future, you can even follow this boss to show off your power in front of chambers of commerce across the continent and earn a lot of gold coins!
There is really a future for you to work with a boss like this who is smart and courageous and can help everyone make a fortune!
