Pirates from island owner to king

"Did I hear that right? Double pension?"

Among the onlookers, some people looked at the people around them and asked.

"Probably not. I heard it too, but maybe the new island owner made a slip of the tongue." The person being asked was also a little unsure.

"It must be a slip of the tongue. I heard that the new island owner started practicing boxing like crazy yesterday afternoon. In addition to sleeping at night, he practiced all morning today. Maybe he is tired."

"Don't talk nonsense if you don't know how to speak. A handsome man like Island Master Wang Hai is a kind person at first glance. He must have seen that everyone is not doing well, so he decided to double the pension."

……

The crowd of people watching began to whisper.

On the other hand, although the family members of the victims were a little excited, they were worried that Wang Hai had made a mistake, so they were at a loss for a while and just looked at him helplessly.

At this time, Wang Jin realized what was going on and quickly approached Wang Hai and asked in a low voice what was going on.

"Don't worry, I'm serious about this decision. I'll trouble my uncle to make a trip."

Wang Hai said firmly, which surprised Wang Jin.

However, he was worried that Wang Hai would not be a householder and would not appreciate the value of firewood and rice, and would not regard money as money.

So instead of going to withdraw the money directly, he said: "I need a reason. Some rules cannot be changed casually."

Wang Hai also understands this truth. People in power are most taboo about changing orders overnight.

He was not angry at Wang Jin for not following his instructions directly.

He did not answer Wang Jin directly, but looked at the family members of the victims and gave them a reassuring look.

Then, he looked at the onlookers around him.

Facing everyone's gaze, he said: "Before, I was not the island owner, so I didn't know what your living conditions were like, but today I saw it."

Having said that, he sighed.

"Although what I saw was not that they were not fully clothed and not well fed, it was not much better."

Everyone present looked at each other in confusion. Although their lives were a bit miserable now, they did not need to worry about war and could still survive.

But they don't know that Wang Hai lived in a powerful modern society that has fully entered a moderately prosperous society in his previous life.

In his eyes, the lives of the people on Taoyuan Island were like a group of refugees from the last century.

"My father, Wang Zheng, brought everyone here not only to avoid the war, but also to help everyone live a better life than before."

"Unfortunately, in order to solve everyone's food shortage problem, he was brutally killed by pirates while he was out."

Having said this, Wang Hai sighed deeply and closed his eyes, as if he was afraid that tears would fall.

a time.

Everyone was silent too.

Yes, the island owner Wang Zheng, in order to help them solve the food shortage problem, had to risk going to sea and was killed.

How many such benevolent island owners can there be in the world?

If it were other noble lords, I'm afraid they wouldn't care about their life and death, and would even wish for them to starve to death as much as possible.

Thinking of this, everyone looked at Wang Hai with a little more sympathy and respect.

Didn't bother him.

After a while, Wang Hai opened his eyes, and the sadness in his eyes quickly turned into determination.

He said firmly: "Now that I have become the owner of the island, I will definitely inherit my father's will and work hard for everyone to live peacefully in this troubled world."

"Perhaps, people don't know me well enough and lack some confidence in me."

"However, as long as you give me a month, I will show everyone that I can become a competent island owner."

"So, I hope everyone can be more patient, please."

Having said this, Wang Hai lowered his head slightly and half bowed before requesting.

"Island Master, I support you!" In the crowd, a small-looking girl shouted excitedly, waving her fists after he finished speaking.

at this time.

Unknowingly, a large group of people had gathered around inside and outside.

After they arrived, they listened quietly to Wang Hai's speech.

Originally, they wanted to see with their own eyes what kind of person this new island owner was.

Can you lead everyone well?

However, after listening to his speech, I couldn't help but feel a little more recognized.

"You're right, I support you too."

"Me too."

"And I."

……

From time to time, voices of support came from the crowd, mostly from women.

Others were calmer, but did not speak out against it.

Even if some people were disdainful and felt that Wang Hai was saying nice things to win people's hearts, they did not show it to his face.

Wang Hai didn't expect that he could win everyone's support with just a few words.

after all.

It is unrealistic in itself for people to be steadfast and support a stranger casually.

When the supportive voices subsided, Wang Hai raised his hand to signal everyone to quiet down.

"Thank you everyone for supporting me."

"However, rather than saying nice things, I would rather do something to change everyone's lives and make everyone live a better life."

When Wang Hai said this, he looked at the family members of the victims on one side.

"Now, there's not much I can do. Double the pensions to the families of the soldiers who died in the war to make their lives better. This is what I can do and what I should do."

"Well said!" someone began to shout.

He walked over and picked up a boy who was about four or five years old and still ignorant among the family members of the victims.

Standing with their family, he then said: "I want every soldier to have no worries. I will take good care of their children and families."

The boy is not afraid either, he seems to have a different kind of affinity.

The onlookers saw that Wang Hai was not too dirty at all and picked up the boy who was covered in mud and drool. There was no trace of disguise on his face, and more people immediately cheered.

Especially the family soldiers who came with them seemed very excited.

If Wang Hai used his golden finger to check their attributes, he would definitely find that the bond value between them and himself was rising rapidly.

As for Wang Jin.

At this moment, he no longer had any objection. Looking at Wang Hai, his face was filled with relief and appreciation.

but.

Wang Hai's next words made the smile he just showed freeze on his face.

Wang Hai announced loudly: "In addition, I have decided that all the families of the victims will be tax-free for ten years. I hope this will allow their children to grow up healthily."

Almost like when he suddenly decided to announce that he would pay double pensions, everyone present was stunned.

They thought they had really heard wrong this time.

Taxes are closely related to them.

Ten years of tax exemption, a simple calculation, they clearly know how big a benefit it is.

There is no doubt that this is much more than a double pension.

Even, to them, this is more important than pension.

Because everyone is now on Taoyuan Island and cannot easily travel to other islands, so even if you have money, you cannot buy many things.

But tax exemption is different.

Most of them are farmers, and they have to hand over half of the food they harvest every day as taxes.

But now it is exempted, which means that their annual harvest can be doubled, but the workload is still the same.

This way, it will be easier for them to feed their families.
