In late February, the quarantine camp, which had been deserted for a while, became lively again, and more than 60 people were filled with hula.

Among these more than 60 people, in addition to the subordinates brought by Ma Xiao, Yu Xiaotian also sent Liu Laoliu to take Meng Maniac to the land.

Now they have added two new boats, and the previous manpower is no longer enough to allocate, forming a situation where there are few people on the boat, so even if there is no horse owl to vote, Yu Xiaotian has already considered the matter of adding manpower.

This time, he did not use force to kidnap them, in order to prevent the government from giving them a pretext, but sent Liu Laoliu, Meng Luozi and others to take the Walrus to the sea and go to the area of Zhendongwei in the southeast of Fuzhou, using the means of recruitment.

Of course, they couldn't say that they were going to sea to be pirates, but let Liu Laoliu and Meng Luozi land in disguise in the name of recruiting boatmen for the merchants, and found some of the displaced people scattered along the coast.

Yu Xiaotian gave each recruit that all applicants who got on the ship could get 50 catties of rice plus a tael of silver for settling-in expenses, and there was no limit to bringing their wives and children's families, and if they had wives and children's families, each person could also give another 30 catties of rice.

During this period, the number of displaced people in Fujian increased unabated, and the cities of various prefectures and counties restricted the entry of displaced people to prevent displaced people from making trouble in the prefecture and county seats, so many displaced people could only go to villages outside the city to beg, and even simply put straw signs on the side of the road and sell themselves as slaves.

Those who are lucky can be bought as slaves by rich families, and those who are unlucky can only live in the countryside and become beggars, which also creates a good condition for Yu Xiaotian to recruit people.

The Li family did not shirk this time, and sent two Li family bookkeepers to pretend to be shopkeepers to cover for Liu Laoliu and them, and brought in the road guide from Lianjiang County to help Yu Xiaotian recruit people.

So this time they recruited manpower, and it went quite smoothly, although after going ashore, someone in Zhendongwei asked about the matter, but after seeing the road guide issued by Lianjiang County in their hands, they received a small amount of money secretly stuffed by Liu Laoliu, so they didn't care about it anymore.

In the eyes of the local officials and soldiers of Zhendongwei, it was always better for some merchants to recruit some homeless people to work for them or to serve as slaves than to let these homeless people wander around.

The homeless people have no fixed place, and after gathering, in order to make a living, they often do some things to steal chickens and dogs, which is also a factor of instability for the locality, and some people recruit them away, which happens to return the place to a stable place, so they don't want to ask more about this kind of thing at all.

Originally, this kind of thing should have been registered in the county government, but Liu Laoliu and how could they do it, so the county government did not sue the officials for this kind of thing, and the displaced people were not the people on their territory, so they had no identity, and it was not a problem to have less at all.

As a result, some homeless people heard that there were such lucrative conditions, and although they were allowed to go to sea, they also felt that they were capable, so there were many recruits.

In this way, Liu Laoliu and Meng Maniac, with the secret support of the Li family, soon recruited dozens of young men in the area of Zhendongwei, and also bought more than ten young women by the way, and brought them back to Treasure Island together.

It is said that on the way back to bring these people, there was a little episode, dozens of young people got on the boat, some people found that the boat under their feet was not as told to them, going to Fuzhou, but going to the sea after going to sea, so someone asked the Meng madman on the ship to question, and asked Meng Maniac and the people on the boat where they were going to take them.

Since he went to sea, then Meng Madman didn't care so much, he tore off his hypocritical disguise on the spot, became rough, scolded those who came forward to question him, let them stay honest, and in short, he would send them to a good place.

Seeing Meng Madman say this, some people began to worry and felt that the momentum was not right, so some people instigated the other young men on the boat, followed them and coaxed them, demanding that they be sent back to the shore.

Madman Meng sneered and told them that they didn't even think about it, since they were on the boat, they could only follow them honestly, and they would know what to do in the future.

At this time, the boatmen on the ship also took out their knives, guns and sticks, and ordered the group to return to the cabin. This is to trick us into following them as pirates, the big guy can't go, and after he goes, he will become a thief! ……”

As soon as someone agitated, these people were in chaos, refusing to return to the cabin, shouting that they wanted to go back to land, what kind of person is Meng Madman! This guy has a hot temper, and he explodes like firecrackers at every turn, how can he let these guys get their wish.

So he immediately ordered his men on the ship to take action, and first pulled out the two leading troublemakers from the crowd, and beat them on the boat, and tied them up and hung them headfirst on the side of the boat, and their heads were next to the water, and the boat shook, and their heads were constantly immersed in the water, and the two fellows begged for mercy loudly.

The rest of the fellows were also beaten with sticks and frightened, and one by one they had to be honestly driven into several cabins, covered with hatches, and sealed in the cabins.

The dozen or so women who were bought with them were also pale with fright and began to cry, but no one comforted them, but locked them alone in a cabin.

In this way, these people were brought back to Treasure Island.

After opening the cabin on Treasure Island, the smell inside is choking enough, some people go to sea and encounter some wind and waves after they begin to get seasick, and vomit in the cabin is a mess, in order not to have an accident on the return trip, Meng Maniac does not let these people come out, and the urine and urine are also solved in the cabin, which makes the cabin smell.

When Yu Xiaotian picked up the ship, when he smelled it in the cabin, he was rushed and quickly unloaded the gang on the isolation island next to Treasure Island.

The woman stayed outside the village on Treasure Island, in a separate place, and handed it over to Zhao Mazi's woman to deal with.

After these people came, they determined Yu Xiaotian's identity, and they were scared to death one by one, and after being thrown to the isolation island, a group of vicious pirates pounced on them and stripped them naked, and then put a shackle around their necks, and shaved them all into bald scoops.

In a blink of an eye, the island became a monk's temple, all of them became bald, making the island scream like a pig, many people were crying in a mess, if it weren't for the shackles around their necks, they would definitely protect their heads and prevent their heads from shaving.

The treatment of the women was a little better, their hair was not shaved, but their clothes were also stripped of by several women, and then they used a brush dipped in water and washed with honey locusts, which made these women cry with fright.

At this time, the boat that went to pick up the horse owl came back, Yu Xiaotian personally went to pick up these people to get off the boat, for them, Yu Xiaotian was not too rude, but gave them a salute one by one, and explained to them in detail and personally explained to them the reason why they had to isolate and shave their heads.

Before these people came, they had been vaccinated by Ma Xiao, and after they arrived here, their hair would definitely not be saved, some people were unwilling and had no way, the minority obeyed the majority, not to mention that they had seen it before, most of the people of the sea wolf were also bald, and they were not used to it at a glance, but after being with them for a few days, they also felt quite energetic.

And they also saw that the sea wolves who followed Yu Xiaotian had a good life, whether it was on the boat or on the island, three meals a day, dry and thin, and there was one meal a day to see the meat, and there was a salary to take every month, and there was a reward for merit, such a good treatment, and there was no need to take it elsewhere!

After they got on Yu Xiaotian's Seawolf last time, they heard about it from the Seawolf tribe, and many of Ma Xiao's subordinates were a little moved by this, and even Ma Xiao himself felt embarrassed, they were all pirates, and they were all helmsmen, and the gap between people was too big!

And these days when the helm handle down, the horse owl is really tired, this helm handle is not good, you have to manage the mouth of a vote, eat, drink, sleep have to worry, but also take people out to play with their lives, but also to guard against people swallowing them, uneven distribution of spoils and worry about the unhappiness of his subordinates, in short, this helmsman, he is very tired.

Now he decided to take refuge in Yu Xiaotian and give Yu Xiaotian to do it, but it made Ma Xiao feel a lot easier, so many chores in the future, he finally didn't have to worry about it anymore, although the boss couldn't be done, but it was also much more worry-free, what Yu Xiaotian asked him to do in the future, he would do it, and let him work on the knife, it was much easier than him being the helmsman and worrying about everything.

This is also one of the reasons why when they were forced by Zhang Hu to have no way out, most of them finally supported to defect to Yu Xiaotian.

So after being mentally prepared, Ma Xiao and his subordinates, after arriving at Treasure Island, did not have a strong reaction to the fact that they were about to shave their hair, but they felt a little reluctant in their hearts, and after Yu Xiaotian moved them to the isolation island, they also saw that the first group of people here had been shaved clean, and one by one they were sitting on the ground and howling, but they felt funny.

Under the leadership of the horse owl, these people did not resist too much, and soon they were all shaved bald, and their clothes were also taken away and handed over to a special person to deal with, and now there are so many people in a hurry, Yu Xiaotian is also unable to provide each of them with a new set of clothes, and it is now the beginning of March, the weather is still unstable, sometimes cold and sometimes hot, and you can't let these guys follow the same group of people, one person with a big pants, naked first, if you don't get it right, you will catch a cold, then for them such conditions, but it will die!

So he ordered a few of the newcomers to soak the clothes they had taken from them in seawater, wash them with water and acacia locusts, and boil them in a huge iron pot, so that they might kill the fleas, lice, and eggs on their clothes, and then give them back to them.

In addition, all of everyone's personal belongings were also confiscated, and people were arranged to register and make a book, because Xiaotian arranged a special person to keep it on their behalf, these people to be honest, they didn't have too many personal belongings, and there were not many things to sort out.
