In addition to Paradise Products, Hunchback, and seafood, he also worked with the Sheila family on wine. Of course, it was not just purified milk wine, but also rice wine and beer.

The rice wine and beer had been produced in the Black Earth wilderness, but they couldn’t be mass-produced yet.

In the ark continent, where wine-making methods were still very backward, it would take more than a thousand people to mass-produce these two wines on the continent. It would take a lot of skilled workers.

However, Zhao Hai planned to make these two types of wine first. Then, like the milk wine, he would put them in Sheila’s hotel for a trial sale. When the people on the mainland could accept these two types of wine, their winery could be built and they could increase production.

The negotiations with the Sheila family went very smoothly. Right now, the Sheila family had almost blind confidence in Zhao Hai. They believed that as long as they cooperated with Zhao Hai, they would be able to make a lot of money. This was the experience they had accumulated over the past year. From the first day they started working with Zhao Hai, they had been making money, and it had only increased.

Zhao Hai was also very satisfied with the outcome. After discussing the collaboration with Sheila’s family, he returned to the berserk Dragon Castle and prepared to go to the slave market the next day.

After going to many slave markets and bringing these slaves to the blackdirt wastelands, he was ready to go to the orc prairies. The orcs had retreated for about a month, so it should be fine to go to the orc prairies now.

The next day, Zhao Hai and Lize went to the slave market to see Lin Li. Lin Li told Zhao Hai that they had already prepared the slaves, but they had not transported them to the island of gold because of the war on the continent some time ago. If Zhao Hai wanted them, he could send them over at any time.

Zhao Hai immediately paid for the slaves and ordered them to transport the slaves to the island of gold in the shortest time possible. Then, he left with Li Ji. After returning to the berserk Dragon Castle, he immediately took an Eagle and flew to the island of gold.

On the third day after Zhao Hai’s group arrived at the island of gold, dozens of large ships carrying slaves arrived. Zhao Hai sent them directly to the Naval base and placed the slaves there.

The Naval base on Golden Island was very large. In addition, the undead creatures in the Naval base usually patrolled around the island, so it wasn’t a problem to fit 100000 people here.

What pleased Zhao Hai the most was that Lin Li had really brought in the 100000 slaves according to family units. There were only about 20000 households in total, which met Zhao Hai’s requirements.

Zhao Hai immediately used the night time to send these people to the blackearth wilderness. It was spring now and the weather was not cold. Although there were no houses in the blackearth wilderness, they could build them. Zhao Hai had already prepared the materials for the construction.

When the slaves arrived at the blackdirt wastelands, Zhao Hai immediately organized people to distribute living necessities to them. He also made it clear that these living necessities would become their private property in the future, so they had to cherish them.

Many of these slaves had been slaves for several generations. Their situation was similar to that of Zhao Hai’s original slaves in the iron Mountain fortress. Some of them were even worse off. It was their first time having their own property, so they were all very excited.

The next day, Zhao Hai organized the slaves who were already civilians to help them distribute the things. Then, he divided them into villages. In fact, Zhao Hai and the others had already divided the locations of these villages. Now, they just had to build these villages.

The construction materials were ready. Zhao Hai also released a large number of undead creatures to help with the construction. He had already planned the style of the houses in the village and the overall layout of the village, so it wasn’t a problem to build them.

Zhao Hai wanted to build a big village, with every 1000 households in one village. Regardless of their character, the land would be divided according to the number of people in each household. An elderly would have five mu of land, a man in his Prime ten mu of land, a woman in her Prime ten mu of land, and a child five mu of land. Each household would be given a bull or a scaled wildebeest, and some farming tools and daily necessities would be distributed.

Zhao Hai had already set up the irrigation system for the village using earth magic. He had also planned what to plant on the land. The land allocated to the villagers would be used to plant bamboo and rice, and some good land would be used to plant wheat.

The remaining land was reserved for the orc slaves. He wanted to let them graze there and teach them how to cultivate the land bit by bit.

The land given to the slaves was not for free. They cultivated on the land. At the end of the year, Zhao Hai and the others collected 40% of the harvest as tax, while the remaining 60% was for the slaves to use.

Although the tax was very high, for those slaves, this was like heaven. They really didn’t expect that they would have their own land and property when they came to such a place. It should be known that on the mainland, even some civilians were treated the same as them.

What made them even more excited was that if they worked well here, they would have the chance to become civilians. They were envious of those who had the same slave mark as them, working in the castle every day, eating meat, having the opportunity to study and having their own time to play.

Zhao Hai didn’t immediately start the education of the entire nation. He wanted to use this as a reward for those who did well. Those slaves who did well could not only become civilians, but they could also send their children to school and even become nobles.

The slaves had never thought of such a good thing. However, when they saw the slaves become civilians, they believed Zhao Hai’s words and were full of energy.

Zhao Hai also distributed seeds, rations, and farm tools. After everything was prepared, Zhao Hai spent a total of seven days. This was also because he had a lot of undead creatures. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to settle this matter in such a short time.

After distributing the items, Zhao Hai told them that they could learn other skills in their spare time. As long as they could master the skills, they could become civilians immediately. If anyone had a particularly bad ability, they could go to the castle and talk to the manager. The manager could also let them become civilians.

By the time all these matters were settled, another half a month had passed. This was all thanks to the work done by Grimm’s team in advance. They had planned every step of these matters well. Otherwise, it would not have been so smooth.

If Zhao Hai had arranged for civilians, things would not have gone so smoothly. Now, he had arranged for slaves. These slaves had been trained and were very obedient. They did whatever he asked them to do. None of them caused any trouble. Therefore, it took less than half a month to settle down 100000 people. Now, the slaves had begun to cultivate the land.

100,000 people needed a lot of things to live. Fortunately, Zhao Hai’s space had never been idle. Moreover, Zhao Hai was like a person who was afraid of being poor. Everything was good. As long as it was something that could be harvested, he would take it. Therefore, the food, use, and firewood of these people were all settled. When they harvested in the autumn, they would be almost self-sufficient.

The improved land in the black soil wilderness was very fertile. As long as these slaves worked hard in farming, they would live a good life. The 40% tax collected by Zhao Hai would change. If one got 100 Jin of grains per mu of land, Zhao Hai would take 40 Jin; if one got 200 Jin of grains per mu of land, Zhao Hai would take 80 Jin. The remaining 120 Jin would belong to the slaves. Everyone was overjoyed. In addition, there was a chance to become a civilian. They didn’t need anyone to mobilize them and worked hard.
