Chapter 216

Overseas islands.

50 kilometers away, snow scale island.

Ten years ago, Xuelin island was originally a wild island inhabited by poisonous snakes and surrounded by wild animals. However, due to its flat terrain, fertile land and not far from kumuringe, it was listed as a valuable agricultural island by the expeditionary monster army observers.

Therefore, the fierce and dangerous beasts on Xuelin Island were cleaned up by the more fierce monster army, leaving only a safe island for later logistics personnel to develop.

Due to the poor living environment, the former clan leader responded positively to the call of Bai Bao and became the first fish man clan to move to this agricultural island. This nameless island also got its name.

The right of naming was seized by the fishman, which made the caveman tribe, who came only one day late, sad, but helpless.

In this way, the fishman clan and the caveman tribe, which were unable to fight with eight poles, became neighbors under the arrangement of the white fort.

In the coastal area, the fishermen of Xuelin clan established a new gathering place - Xuelin village, and vigorously developed marine aquaculture, becoming a member of many agricultural production bases in Baipu.

Time has proved how wise the last generation's patriarch's decision is.

With a safe environment and sufficient food, the Xuelin clan has been growing and growing. In just a few years, the population has tripled. It was not until Baibao issued a notice to hand over the surplus fish eggs to the organization that the population growth of the Xuelin clan was gradually controlled.

But the remaining population is enough to upgrade Xuelin village into Xuelin town.

Later, Bai Bao issued a series of orders, including monogamy, talent testing system and so on.

In a word, after Xuelin clan followed Baibao, the life of Xuelin people changed dramatically.

In this way, the fishermen of the Xuelin clan lived in peace for ten years under the protection of the White Castle, at the cost of 30% of the annual harvest. According to the village head who came back from the pre service training in the white scale city, this kind of behavior is called tax collection.

Because of his great strength, Tim snow scale became a part-time Porter of the wharf. Every year, he would transport the tax of snow scale town to the ship of the tax collection team.

At first, Tim didn't understand what tax was, and he didn't dare to ask.

Because the fishermen who come to collect taxes have shiny weapons, which are always frightening. Moreover, they also carry big tortoises as big as five fishermen. It is said that they are called copper backed tortoises.

Later, after being forced to learn the language and basic knowledge, Tim roughly understood the meaning of tax.

Tax is the necessary material basis for supporting the army of Baibao fishermen and protecting people's living and working in peace and contentment.

E... that's what the teacher said to teach fish people.

And according to Tim's understanding, it's the protection fee.

This year, Tim snow scale, as usual, transported bundles of dried sea fish and kelp to the ship, and then asked the foreman on the dock to pay for it. In this way, he could get three silver coins, which was enough for his family to live for a week.

Today, however, it's not the same as before. After taking the money from the foreman, Tim is planning to leave, but the foreman, uncle Tashi, stops him.

"Tim, would you like to go with the transport team? They hire porters, and the price is very high, five silver dollars a day."

"Ah?! Five! Yes, of course. "

As soon as he heard that there were five silver coins a day, Tim quickly nodded. You know, there was no work on the dock at any time, and even one silver coin a day was more cost-effective than staying at home and farming.

"But I have to go back and say to Lisan that if I disappear, he will be worried."

The foreman waved his hand.

"I'll help you when I go back, so that the transport team won't leave in a hurry. But many people rush to do such a good thing. If I have your strength, I'll go too. Moreover, it's said that the transport team is going to the new capital of kumerine this time. I really envy you."

Even though Tim was lonely and unknown, he had heard about the new capital. Now he had the chance to see it with his own eyes, and he was excited.

"Thank you, uncle Tashi."

Tim ran excitedly to the board on the edge of the boat and jumped onto the deck.

On the deck, a fisherman soldier with a spear rushed up to meet a big fisherman.

"Hey! What do you do? "

Tim stopped immediately, looked at the soldier with the spear and said with a smile.

"Oh, my Lord, I heard from Uncle Tashi that you are such a porter."

The soldier looked at Tim, thought he was a qualified Porter, and pointed to the cabin.

"Where can I find captain Mooney, lucky boy? If it wasn't for our fisherman, who got drunk in the middle of the night and fell into the sea, you wouldn't be able to do this job."

Tim followed the soldiers' instructions and went to the captain's room. He pushed open the door and went in. He saw a one eyed jackal sitting on a chair. He was stunned by the handsome jackal.

A tall jackal with a ring of red hair around his neck, wearing a red and blue captain's uniform, a captain's cap and a skull eye mask, was sitting on a chair, facing him in a calm manner.

Captain of the jackal, Mani red mane, was calculating the total amount of food when suddenly a big head Fishman opened the door and burst in, staring at himself in a daze.

This guy hasn't seen a jackal, has he?!

Mani couldn't help frowning, leaned back on the chair and looked at the fishman with both hands. He was a little dissatisfied.

"Strange Fishman, what can I do for you?"

Tim woke up in a dream and said in a panic.

"Are you... Are you captain Mooney? I hear you need porters on board

Mani looked up and down at the fishman in front of him and came to the same conclusion as the soldiers.

"Yes, we do need a porter. When we get to kumuringe, we need to move the materials to the back of the copper backed crocodile turtle, and then to the construction site of the new capital, five silver coins a day."

"On the return trip, we can take you back to the dock of Xuelin Town, or take you to the offshore of Xuelin Island, and you can swim back by yourself. If you agree, sign this contract."

The Jackal took out a standard contract from the drawer and handed it to the fishman.

Tim took up the contract, and toburg forced every resident to learn the basic language. Tim understood a contract in black and white, but it was still no problem.

Captain of the jackal, Mani, waited patiently. As a retired senior officer in the army, he was transferred to the logistics department as captain, which was patient.

Before long, Fishman finished reading the contract.

"No problem! I'll sign it

Tim picked up the quill on the table and signed his name at the end of the contract.

Captain jackal put the contract away, put it in the drawer again, stood up and shook hands with the fishman.

"Welcome to the cuttlefish!"

PS: I'm really immortal.
