Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 160 Peach Blossom Fairy Island Takes Shape

The next day, Chu Chen got up early with Xiao Fang, preparing to go to the island to see the construction there.

However, early in the morning, Murong Huai pulled him to another residence in the city lord's mansion.

The thirty-odd women in the house saw Murong Huai enter with a young man.

They all wore expressions of bewilderment.

"Quiet down. This is Young Master Chu from Qingyun City. He will be questioning you."

Murong Huai pointed to Chu Chen and introduced him.

"Um, Lord Murong, these young ladies are all incredibly beautiful. Don't scare them."

Hearing the fresh and innocent address of "Miss," the group of women couldn't help but feel a little more favorably disposed towards the young master before them.

"Alright, all of you sisters are unfortunate. If you were to come out of that hellhole and continue to get married and have children normally, you would probably find it hard to meet a good man."

"How about I give you all a suggestion to bring out your own strengths?"

After Chu Chen finished speaking, an older woman stepped forward and spoke.

"Young Master Chu, let's be frank. We're willing to go all out. As long as it's not too outrageous, we'll be fine with anything that can support us."

Chu Chen glanced at the woman.

In general, people in this situation are willing to stand up and speak out.

In this group, everyone is basically a leader.

"Excuse me, ma'am, may I ask your name?"

“Young master, there’s no need to be so polite. My surname is Shangguan, and my given name is Cai. You can just call me Cai’er.”

"Alright, Sister Cai'er, I feel sorry for you all being harmed by those Japanese. Now I will show you a way out."

Following that, Chu Chen briefly recounted how the girls at his Red Romance in Qingyun City made money.

After saying that, he instructed Shangguan Cai to select a few people to go to Qingyun City for training and learning.

Immediately, Shangguan Cai selected ten girls and planned to send them to Qingyun City for training.

So Chu Chen immediately wrote a letter, put it in his pocket, and bid farewell to everyone.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to go for a stroll, Chu Chen took out a van from a corner and drove it to the gate of the yard.

They took Xiaofang to the island.

On the island, Chu Yi respectfully bowed to Chu Chen and Xiao Fang.

"Young Master, the construction of the entire Peach Blossom Fairy Island is expected to be completed in another month."

Chu Chen led the group to the large rock, took out a pair of binoculars, and looked at the entire island.

As expected, there is strength in numbers, and the wall will be completed in a few more days.

Meanwhile, the construction of houses and roads on the island is proceeding in an orderly manner.

Chu Chen nodded in satisfaction at Feng Wu and Chu Yi beside him.

He then asked, "Uncle Feng, could you leave here for a few days?"

"It's alright, Chuwazi. Those dozens of officials are working very hard now, all vying to do the work."

"Alright, in that case, I'll give you two another task."

After saying that, he took out a letter and a car key and handed them to Chu Yi.

"The car is on the beach. In a little while, take Uncle Feng Wu to Linhai City. In Linhai City, find City Lord Murong and take ten girls to Honglangman. Also, give this letter to Lan Pengyun."

"Uncle Feng, go to Honglangmang and stay for a few days to see the decorations and layout of the house. Then come back and build me an exact replica of it in Linhai City."

When Uncle Feng heard that Chu Chen wanted him to stay at Honglang for a few days, he immediately showed a hesitant expression.

He had heard a little about what Honglangmang was.

So he quickly said, "Chu boy, staying for a few days is no problem, but I heard that Red Romance's prices are..."

"Uncle, can I still take your money? Just go and enjoy yourself."

"Then you mustn't tell your fifth aunt when you go back to the village."

"No, no, I know what men are like!"

Seeing the excited expressions on Feng Wu and Chu Yi's faces, Chu Chen revealed a knowing smile.

"Haha, Chu boy, then your fifth uncle will go and have some fun!"

Feng Wu's usual shocked expression vanished, replaced by a sleazy look.

Chu Yi, standing to the side, also wore an excited expression.

Chu Chen immediately said to Chu Yi, "You're still growing, you can't go."

"Young master, if I don't go, how will I send people and messages?"

"You can go, but after you finish your work, go see your younger siblings in the suburbs. Listen to your brother, you're really too young!"

Chu Yi bowed to Chu Chenyi with a helpless expression: "I will follow your teachings, young master."

Xiao Fang, who was standing nearby, almost burst out laughing when she heard this.

After Chu Yi and Uncle Feng left, she whispered to Chu Chen, "Chu Yi is clearly of marriageable age, why can't he go?"

"Well, how can I explain this to you? Anyway, he's still young, let's wait a few years."

Chu Yi is only sixteen or seventeen years old this year; in modern times, he would still be a high school student.

Although it might be fine once in a while, once that red romance gets him a taste of success, he'll probably be ruined.

Let him go when he has more self-control.

After saying that, Chu Chen put the matter out of his mind and started wandering around with Xiao Fang.

This place with the large rock on the mountaintop is the highest point of the entire island.

Therefore, Chu Chen planned to build a super villa in this place.

Outside the pool below, a huge freshwater swimming pool has also been excavated.

Although digging a swimming pool at the beach is a bit like taking off your pants to fart.

Isn't this freshwater swimming pool on the island safe?

Once electricity is available for the villa's domestic water supply, we can simply install a water pump to draw water from the stream over the pond.

Although the walls are high, they do not obstruct the view from this hilltop villa.

Chu Chen arranged for the garrison's barracks to be located at the foot of the mountain, so the villas up there were relatively private.

Behind the barracks, on the hillside, Chu Chen also planned to build some detached villas with yards.

This is to make things easier for future receptions and such.

The entire island is connected by roads, and all the roads are paved according to Chu Chen's requirements.

I reckon that once this island is built, Chen Qingxuan won't want to go back once he arrives.

Looking at the island that was beginning to take shape, Chu Chen led Xiao Fang down from the high platform and onto a warship.

Take out those fishing rods and continue to slack off.

Lu Rongdong stood respectfully beside him.

I also gave him a briefing on the situation at sea during this period.

Ever since the Japanese were wiped out, the Liu family has thought about secretly going to sea more than once.

However, going to sea requires large ships, and at this time, Great Xia had not yet established trade relations with the outside world and did not have large merchant ships.

So they also organized a team to attack Lü Rongdong's large ship, hoping to seize the ship and go to sea.

But they were all driven back by Lü Rongdong and his men.

In this way, the information cannot be transmitted.

The entire coastline of the Great Xia Dynasty is very narrow, and this is the only place where large ships can go out to sea.

So now the Liu family can probably only wait for the Japanese to come and collect the gold and silver and take the news out.

Chu Chen chuckled after hearing this, "You think you can just go back so easily after you've come?"

He continued casting his line, fishing for fish.

The current foreign wars are a matter for Zhou Shixun to consider; what does it have to do with me!
