Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 235 Establishing a Communications Team in Linhai

Chu Chen was startled by the sudden kneeling.

Then he turned to look at Chu Yi: "You arranged this?"

Chu Yi smiled sheepishly: "Young Master, they've wanted to see you for a long time, but haven't had the chance!"

"Alright, get up. Lead the way." Chu Chen called to the two men.

The group of four headed towards their encampment.

After walking for about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the four of them arrived in front of a tall house.

Chu Yi gestured for Chu Chen to proceed.

Chu Chen smiled as he stepped into the house.

Inside, about a hundred people had already gathered.

Most of them were strong men in their thirties, but there were also some young people in their seventeens or eighteens.

Chu Yi respectfully led a young man towards them.

Everyone knelt down in the direction of the two men: "Your subordinates greet Young Master Chu."

Led by Chu Yi, Chu Chen walked to the front.

"Everyone get up!"

After saying that, he waved for the group of people to get up.

"My name is Chu Chen, I come from Qingyun City, and I am also the island lord of Peach Blossom Immortal Island. Since you are following Chu Yi, you are considered my people. From now on, we will share both good times and bad times!"

"Today, on our first meeting, I'll announce a rule: there's no need to kneel, neither in front of me nor in front of Chu Yi!"

Since it was our first meeting, I felt I should give her a small gift, but I hadn't prepared one beforehand.

So he said to Chu Yi, "How many of you are there in total? Give me an empty room!"

Seeing this, Chu Yi nodded and led Chu Chen to the back.

The hundred or so people below looked at each other, completely bewildered!

"What do you think our boss is up to?"

"Are you going to give us a gift?"

"What are you thinking? We haven't done anything, and we're still being supported by this young master. How can you be so shameless?"

After Chu Chen and Chu Yi left, the crowd below started discussing and arguing.

"Alright, Chu Yi, you can go out now. Come and wake me up in half an hour!"

Chu Yi turned around, left the room, and closed the door.

Upon seeing this, Chu Chen flashed into the space.

What should I send as a gift?

After a moment's thought, he had an idea, and with a wave of his hand, about a hundred daggers appeared on the ground.

Then about a hundred lighters and more than a hundred bags of rice appeared.

With natural disasters just over, what's most important? Food.

The dagger was used to facilitate their actions, while the lighter was a novelty.

It's purely for them to use to show off.

Imagine a dark alleyway where a hundred or so people with lighters surround another group of people. Just thinking about it is thrilling.

Half an hour later, Chu Chen appeared before everyone as promised.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have prepared a small gift for you in the back room, as a kind of greeting gift."

After saying that, he instructed Chu Yi to find a few people to carry the supplies bag by bag from behind.

But when everyone saw the white rice and the sharp dagger, they all showed excited expressions.

Although Chu Yi had brought them under his wing, considering the overall expenses, he basically only ensured that they didn't go hungry.

They had seen this snow-white rice before, but had never tasted it.

This dagger is clearly no ordinary object; if it were to be sold, it would be worth a fortune.

After seeing that everyone had received the supplies, Chu Chen spoke up again.

"This dagger is only for your use, but if any of you take it and sell it, then whoever catches him will have all the money from the sale."

Having said that, I immediately dismissed the idea that I had been considering.

If you dare to sell this thing, the people around you could tear you apart in a heartbeat.

It should be understood that when faced with self-interest, human nature is the most vulnerable thing to temptation.

Looking at the quiet and focused scene below, Chu Chen smiled with satisfaction.

Then he picked up a lighter, and with a snap, a flame shot out.

Upon seeing this, everyone turned to look at the small object in their hands.

"Haha, this is called a lighter. It's unique in this Great Xia. No one but me can produce it. From now on, this item belongs to you. I believe that anyone who can produce this can basically be associated with me in Great Xia. You should be able to tell the difference."

After he finished speaking, a series of clicking sounds of lighters being struck came from below.

In an instant, about a hundred lighters lit up, creating a rather spectacular scene.

Some curious people even touched the flame with their hands, seemingly to see if it was real.

But they only stopped after grimacing from the burn.

"Alright, everyone, I have a lot to do, so I won't talk to you any longer. I'll take my leave now. I have a task to assign you later."

After saying this, Chu Chen led Chu Yi out of the house amidst the cheers of the crowd.

"Young master, just give the order if there is anything you need them to do."

Once outside, Chu Yi eagerly pressed for answers.

Chu Chen thought for a moment: "Among your group, how many of you have families to support? Would you be willing to move to another place?"

Chu Chen had an idea in mind: information exchange.

Walkie-talkies have limited communication range and cannot achieve long-distance communication.

But if we build our own base station within the communication range, wouldn't that solve the problem?

All I need to do is support more people.

"Young master, about half of them are families with children. They are all homeless, and for them, it doesn't matter where they live."

"Okay, then I need you to do something."

Immediately afterwards, Chu Chen shared his thoughts with Chu Yi.

After hearing this, Chu Yi immediately said that he would definitely do his best to handle the matter well.

For him, the arrival of the heavy snow meant he was guarding the island, but he couldn't contact Chu Chen, and he was extremely anxious.

But if this line is established and there is someone to relay the message, then the message will travel much faster.

"By the way, you must choose someone who keeps their mouth shut and is reliable."

"Furthermore, we try our best to meet their needs in terms of living conditions, and try to choose people with families to buy them land and build them houses so that they can live there in a stable manner. Moreover, we send people to check on them from time to time."

Chu Yi nodded after listening; he completely understood what Chu Chen meant.

Moreover, this kind of thing must be done in secret; otherwise, if the information is interrupted at a crucial moment, it would be a great loss.

"Alright, there are two routes: one from Linhai to Qingyun, and the other from Qingyun to the capital."

"I only have one requirement: whether I'm in the capital or in Qingyun, I need to be able to communicate with you immediately."

After finishing his sentence, Chu Chen dismissed Chu Yi and walked alone onto the streets of Linhai City.

The establishment of the communication line was not a spur-of-the-moment decision by Chu Chen.

I've had this idea for a long time, but I haven't been able to find the right person.

Chu Yi inadvertently solved a problem for himself.

As he thought about it, Chu Chen unconsciously stepped into the seaside red-flowered landscape.
