After a long time, Zhu Di recovered from his shock.
Only then did he reluctantly accept what Zhu Bai had said about not being the legendary kun, but a big fish in the sea.
"Twelfth brother, you are indeed powerful!”
Zhu Di said with a sigh. At this moment, he could not calm down.
To him, even if he accepted that this wasn't a kun but a big fish in the sea, what difference was there between such a huge fish and a kun?
"Hahaha, fourth brother, don't look at how big this thing is. It's actually not a threat. A big ship is enough to deal with it.”
"Moreover, this thing is very useful. The skin can be used to make clothes, and it's not inferior to cowhide in any way. The value of meat is not inferior to beef, and the essential oil extracted from it is enough to be used for lighting, smoothness, and even some problems of soldiers, such as night blindness.”
Zhu Bai said with a smile.
He briefly explained the function of the whale.
Zhu Di's eyes lit up.
"Is this true?"
His words carried a hint of excitement.
Night blindness was unavoidable in ancient times, regardless of whether it was in the East or West.
Even after entering the era of Ming Dynasty, there were still some.
Now that he heard that whale oil could reduce night blindness, Zhu Di's eyes turned cold.
As someone who had led the army for many years, he naturally knew what this meant.
"Of course it's true."
"If fourth brother needs it, you can bring some back!”
Zhu Bai nodded his head with certainty and directly agreed.
The harvest from the two whaling expeditions was undoubtedly huge.
Although he had only hunted one whale the first time, with the three whales this time, he had four.
The entire warehouse was filled with a lot of essential oil.
Thank you, Twelfth Brother."
Zhu Di laughed and nodded.
"Fourth Brother, you're being too serious."
Zhu Bai said with a smile.
The two of them walked toward the town.
Now, after half a year of development, the town's scale had become even larger. The area it covered had exceeded ten kilometers, and its population had directly exceeded 10,000, reaching nearly 15,000.
This was also because Zhu Bai had spread out a portion of the population to the surrounding gathering places. Otherwise, the population here would have been even more.
The huge population made it look like a county town in the Ming Dynasty.
The two of them stepped into the small town.
Even Zhu Di could not help but sigh at the prosperity here.
However, in his sigh, Zhu Di could not help but frown.
After an unknown period of time, Zhu Di could not help but speak again.
"Twelfth brother, why don't you build the city wall?”
"It doesn't seem to have started?”
His words were filled with doubt.
He scanned the surroundings but still did not see any signs.
Hearing Zhu Di's words, Zhu Bai was stunned for a moment. Then, he wondered what was going on with the watch.
Due to the influence of establishing a country and defending against foreign enemies, city walls were usually built to defend.
Obviously, Zhu Di had discovered this.
"Fourth brother, this isn't the mainland, but the sea. Moreover, firearms have gradually been developed, so building a city wall isn't very useful against enemies on the sea.”
"There are a few places in the interior that have been built.”
Zhu Bai softly explained.
Although the city walls still had a certain function in this era.
But now that cannons had risen in popularity and had been developed to a certain extent, it would not be long before the usefulness of the city walls would be infinitely reduced.
Especially on the sea, the city walls would not be of much use.
Therefore, Zhu Bai had no intention of building it at all.
As for the Inner Land, he had indeed built it.
On the one hand, it was to avoid the attacks of the natives and even ferocious beasts. On the other hand, it was also for better management.
"Oh, twelfth brother is inland and has a ruler?”
Hearing Zhu Bai's words, Zhu Di was somewhat focused. However, he was soon surprised again and spoke in disbelief.
In Zhu Di's opinion, this port was already extremely huge. He did not expect his twelfth brother to develop in other places.
"There are still about nine colonies!”
"If fourth brother is interested, I can bring you to take a look!”
Zhu Bai smiled and nodded.
As for hiding his strength, he did not have such thoughts.
Not to mention that Zhu Di had a good relationship with him.
Even if it was someone else.
After all, with the system, his strength was constantly changing.
Given a month, the situation here would be completely different from before.
Therefore, there was no need to hide it.
"Good!"
Zhu Di laughed loudly.
The two of them walked forward and began to tour the entire Bay.
The next day, Zhu Bai brought Zhu Di to the other colonies.
Currently, there were ten colonies belonging to Zhu Bai in the whole of Hai Nan. Currently, the population of each colony was close to 10,000 people, and the population of each colony was close to 1,000 people.
The total population had already exceeded 30,000, reaching a level of nearly 40,000.
This was undoubtedly a significant number.
Compared to the rule of Qiongzhou Prefecture, it was not inferior at all.
Perhaps in less than a month, the rule here would completely surpass the rule of Qiongzhou Prefecture.
Zhu Di followed Zhu Bai and walked under the Qiongzhou Prefecture.
It was different from the poverty and backwardness he had imagined. There was only peace, prosperity, and peace here.
People walked through the work.
Everything was in order.
There was not even any turmoil in the country.
Outside the gathering place was a patch of green paddy fields.
Under his gaze, he exuded a youthful aura.
Many figures were hunting, farming, logging, or quarrying. Everything was in order.
Some soldiers were like javelins guarding these cities and gathering places.
