From Pirates to Sweeping the Worlds

The reason is very simple, because the world government stipulates that it is illegal to privately dry and sell salt.

Although this regulation of the World Government is like fart to pirates who yearn for freedom.

But for civilians, it is a strong deterrent.

Moreover, those in power are very concerned about this matter for their own interests.

Because salt is generally in the hands of the royal families or nobles of various countries.

After Xia Jieren found out, he was also a little speechless, but he didn't say much. "It is precisely because of this situation that I can make huge profits. I can be considered a beneficiary. Besides, I can't save everyone."

......

A stable source of income was successfully opened up.

From then on, the Kingdom of the Netherlands could obtain massive wealth to develop the country by selling various specialties.

We have money, food and people!

The Kingdom of the Netherlands has since entered the fast lane of development.

In order to accelerate the development of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, Xia Jieren decided to open a new port on the east side of the Netherlands Island, which is the other end of the Avenue of Renaissance, to provide services specifically for ships heading to the Grand Route.

However, only the port of Easton on the Dutch islands is a natural harbor. The offshore areas of other places are full of reefs or the water is very shallow, and only some fishing boats that are only a few meters long can dock.

The northeastern part of the Netherlands Islands is full of reefs and the water is not deep enough.

But this is not a problem at all for the current Zerg.

The Devourer is out!

They quickly destroyed the reefs, sucked up the soft mud and sand on the seabed, and then continued to dig downwards until they encountered indestructible rocks at a depth of more than 60 meters, and then stopped digging.

On the shore, worker bees began to level the surrounding land.

Two days later, the East Port of the Netherlands was successfully completed.

Seeing such efficiency, Xia Jieren couldn't help but sigh: "Construction worms are really useful."

A building worm, combined with the underground fungal mat, can hatch into a building up to 50 meters high in a short period of time.

If it is higher, it cannot be achieved with the current construction bugs alone.

And taller buildings require more energy to keep the building stable.

These are all areas that need to be optimized in the future, and Kerrigan has already recorded them.

The 3 troops that had been prepared long ago entered the East Port of the Netherlands.

Various information about Donggang City has been announced nationwide, attracting people to come.

Of course, it doesn’t matter even if no citizens are willing to come here. It’s hard to leave one’s hometown, Xia Jieren understands that very well.

He can completely use insect people to populate this new city. Population is no longer a problem for Xia Jieren.

......

After the construction of Donggang was completed, Xia Jieren handed it over to a bug man named Qiu Lu and became the hands-off boss.

Xia Jieren is very self-aware and knows that he is not cut out for management work. He just asks about things when he is free.

He took some time to check on the construction progress of Fuxing Avenue. At the current speed, it would take about twenty days to complete.

With more than 300,000 people working and building in sections, this speed is not slow at all.

Not only Fuxing Avenue needs to be built, but the infrastructure of each village and town also needs to be built, and roads between villages, villages and towns, and towns and cities all need to be built.

This is a relatively large project, and we are a little short of manpower for the time being.

So Xia Jieren urgently hatched more than 6 Zergmen. Together with the previous Zergmen, the total number of Zergmen has now reached 1.

The entire country seems to have become a large construction site, with everyone doing their part and working enthusiastically to contribute to the country's revival.

The greatest pleasure for Queen Litte and the old butler now is to go out for a walk from time to time, or stay in the study and take in the development of the entire country through their mobile phones.

Since all the nobles of the Kingdom of the Netherlands had died, the country's political system faced a major test. Fortunately, Xia Jieren directly filled the government agencies with a large number of insect people.

In order to avoid any unpleasantness, I discussed this with Queen Litte in advance.

She is very supportive of this, and judging from her expression, it doesn't seem like she is faking it.

Xia Jieren breathed a sigh of relief. He really didn't want to be enemies with Litte. After all, Litte was his first friend in the world (in his opinion).

This is the best outcome, good for both parties.

With this in mind, Xia Jieren can finally let go and get to work.

The first step is to fill government departments across the country with bugs from top to bottom and dismiss all unqualified and inactive officials.

No dissent allowed!

From now on, the insect people will serve as the main leaders of government departments, and the rest of the government personnel will be recruited from the citizens of the Kingdom of the Netherlands as much as possible.

Capable people can also be appointed to important positions, but everything must be within Xia Jieren's control.

Thanks to the nationwide surveillance network, once someone betrays, it can be detected and punished immediately, and generally will not cause too much loss.

The second is to establish the Netherlands Group, which includes many industries such as the Netherlands Grain Co., Ltd., the Netherlands Pharmaceuticals, the Netherlands Canning Factory, etc. It is a national monopoly group.

Fortunately, there is no antitrust law here. Xia Jieren is the biggest rule. He will not put shackles on himself to show how great he is. This is not in his interest.

It is more in Xia Jieren's interest to seize wealth with more gentle means.

The last and most important thing is military reform.

With the Zerg, the largest and most powerful weapon of war, Xia Jieren simply looked down on those useless people.

But we cannot disband the army all at once, as that would be too unreasonable.

A country without military protection is just fat meat in the eyes of others.

After pondering for a long time, Xia Jieren decided to retain an army of about 100,000.

Among them, 3 people were stationed in East Port, 3 people were stationed in East Port, 2 people were stationed in the royal capital, and the remaining 2 people were distributed in key cities across the country.

In addition, each village and town needs to retain a certain number of reservists as the army's reserve force.

There is no doubt that the top brass of the army will all be insect people. Soldiers with outstanding abilities can also be promoted. Xia Jieren will not impose too many restrictions, as long as he can ensure that the control of the army is in his hands.

After resolving various development issues of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, Xia Jieren summoned more than a hundred insect people.

In a large conference room in the palace, Xia Jieren took a quick look and then gave a clear order: "Fan Li, I order you to form the White Tiger Chamber of Commerce and lead the crew present to go out to sea."

Fan Li stood up respectfully and answered loudly, "Yes, Master."

"Ah."

Xia Jieren nodded and casually instructed: "You should first collect various information, and then collect various rare items, especially devil fruits."

Fan Li nodded heavily.

All the necessary instructions had been given, and Xia Jieren waved his hand, indicating that they could set off.

It’s better to choose a day than to hit it!
