Ankaido, the ancestor of pirates

"But these are things for the future. None of these are important now. What is important is building dams, building docks, mining, making weapons, and farming!"

Kaido continued to whisper to Tom.

"But brother, we don't have enough people!"

Upon hearing Kaido's words, Jhin frowned and said helplessly.

"Pay to hire!"

Kaido answered directly without thinking.

"Boss! In fact, our money is almost running out."

Quinn scratched the back of his head in embarrassment and said helplessly.

"So fast? The money we robbed from those countries and the taxes we collected from the people were almost used up?"

Kaido was shocked after hearing what Quinn said. He didn't expect that building a giant dam would cost so much money.

"To be honest, it only lasts a few more months, and it will definitely be used up by then."

Quinn's brows were filled with sorrow.

"Don't worry about financial resources. I have my own methods, mainly manpower. What's wrong with our manpower?"

Kaido doesn't take money seriously at all. He has plenty of money, mainly manpower and talents. The current population of Zuan is really not that much different.

"The manpower has also reached its limit. Our entire Zuan country has a population of only 10 million including men, women, old and children... This population has already included us soldiers. Recently we have carried out a large-scale recruitment again. At present, our total military strength is as high as

One hundred thousand people, and the number of security agencies is as high as 30,000."

Tom took out his manpower statistics table and frowned slightly.

"Although our Zaun has a population of tens of millions, the actual available manpower is less than one in ten. Most of the people can only farm, and there are even fewer technical personnel... and most of these educated technical personnel are nobles. Our ancestors

The top ten shipyards in Anshan have employed 100,000 manpower, and the construction of dams has reached 300,000 manpower. There are also those who reclaim wasteland, renovate houses according to the design drawings, plant crops, and manufacture weapons. In addition to weapons, we now have

Outside of factories, almost all construction is purely manual."

Jhin followed Tom's words and finished the rest.

"So many people? 130,000 people manage 10 million people, and one person guarantees the safety of 100 people? Our control over Zaun is far from enough!"

Kaido immediately felt a headache when he heard this.

When there are no machines and every part requires manpower to build it by yourself, the manpower used will be an extremely terrifying number. What's more, even when there were machines to help in the previous life, the manpower required to build a dam was also extremely terrifying.

The level of construction is similar to that of the Three Gorges Dam. Not to mention the technology required, according to unreliable statistics, the manpower required alone is as high as 40,000, and the time taken is an exaggeration of more than ten years.

"Don't you look at how long the dam you want to build is? The one upstream is fine, but the one downstream has a total length of 50,000 meters and a height of 200 meters! It can be called a giant fortress!"

Jhin complained about Kaido speechlessly.

"Hiss~ Can this thing really be built successfully?"

Kaido was shocked when he heard this. He didn't expect that he would make a random suggestion and his men would build it according to the level of a world wonder. Although he knew that the dam was a necessity, he didn't know the investment required to build the dam.

Yes, this is specialization in the art industry.

"Yes! I spent 50 million beli on the black market to buy the design of the dam."

What Jhin said next made Kaido stunned.

"Can this thing really be successful? Besides, does anyone really dare to design this thing?"

To be honest, Kaido no longer has any confidence in the thing he wants to build.

"I don't know, but the person who received the money is a scientist in the future country of the Great Line... It seems to be called Vegapunk... At that time, when I told that idiot Morgans my needs through the phone bug,

Within a day he sent me the design drawings.”

Jhin pointed to the sky to indicate that the seagull had sent him the design.

"What about the money?"

Kaido continued to ask.

"It was taken away by those birds...Morgans is very dark. It would be great if only 10 million of these 50 million could get into the hands of that scientist..."

Jhin's words were filled with disdain for Morgans, the black-hearted bird.

"That's good... because it's not worth offending Morgans for a mere 50 million... As for Vegapunk? Hahaha... Morgans can't take away Vegapunk's money."

Kaido nodded to Jhin, and then smiled slightly. He was now certain of one thing, that is, as long as there were no accidents, his dam could be built. After all, it was the famous Vegapunk design.

of.

"It seems that Vegapunk is also a ruthless person!"

Jhin nodded slightly to Kaido. Since Kaido said that Morgans couldn't take away Vegapunk's money, then Morgans definitely couldn't take it away.

"Human and financial resources... Haha, it looks like we are going to go to sea..."

Kaido shook his head slightly, then narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he had thought of some good idea.

"It seems that you, boss, are planning to return to your old business?"

Upon hearing that he was about to go to sea, Quinn naturally thought that Kaido would continue to be a pirate. As long as your personal strength is enough, there is nothing that cannot be snatched.

"Haha... It has been four years since the Great Pirate Age began. Maybe it's time to go out for a walk. I wonder if those younger generations have come here and come to this new world!"

Kaido's eyes flashed with a red murderous look.

"You mean you plan to attack those newcomers?"

Jhin's eyes flashed when he heard Kaido's words.

"You think about those young men who are all young and energetic, and all of them call themselves men who want to become the Pirate King. Wouldn't it be a pity if they are so energetic and don't come to mine and build the dam?"

Kaido put down the wine glass and picked up the mace beside him. He felt a little anxious in his heart. He didn't know how many people he would meet with the surname Wang this time when he went to sea.

"Educate new people? How many people do you plan to take out?"

As soon as Jhin finished speaking, he pulled out the knife from his waist. He was also a little excited by Kaido's words. There is nothing in this world that is more fun than educating newbies.

"Boss! Tell me what you have to say. In fact, I also want to go out and educate new people."

Quinn licked the corner of his mouth gently. He felt very happy when he thought about being able to bully others.

"This time I will take Asura Boy and the hundreds of people under him, that's enough."

Kaido directly decided on the personnel arrangements for this trip to hunt for newcomers.

"ah?"

"well……"

Jhin and Quinn suddenly felt a little bored when they heard Kaido's personnel arrangement.

"Huh...it's a good thing they didn't let me go to sea."

Tom expressed a different emotion. He got seasick and was not good at going to sea.

"That's it. I will spend a very happy month with Asura Boy and the others. By the way, you guys have prepared a big ship for me. Well... just bring out my main ship!"

Kaido planned to take advantage of this month of going to sea to tame the Asura boy.

"Your main ship? Your main ship can carry three thousand people! It is one of the top battleships... Are you sure you want to take that ship out?"

Quinn raised his eyebrows slightly after hearing Kaido's words. How many people does the boss plan to arrest this time?

"Let's drive it out! In fact, if it's compact, it's absolutely no problem to hold more than 10,000 people. I'll come back when it's full... Then our country will have manpower! Those young guys are all very energetic.

! One can support ten people, and some with a bounty of millions or even hundreds of millions can defeat hundreds or even thousands of people! I hope I can meet enough pirates with bounties of hundreds of millions this time when I go out!"

Everyone prays that they will not encounter vicious pirates when they go to sea, but Kaido is just the opposite. He just goes for the big pirates, and he doesn't really want those stinky garbage that he needs to eat after working for only a few days.
