These one thousand grandmaster craftsmen had a transcendent status on the entire Heavenly Craft Island.
Not only did they have the best experience and skills, but they also had the highest prestige.
Although they didn't have official positions, in fact, each of these one thousand grandmaster craftsmen was in charge of one hundred worksheds.
It was because of these one thousand grandmaster craftsmen that the entire Heavenly Craft Island could be united and complete all kinds of tasks assigned by the military headquarters.
Looking at these one thousand grandmaster craftsmen, he found that all of them had reached Level Nine of the Yin Yang Realm, which was greatly out of Chu Xingyun's expectation.
In the lobby of the medical center on Heavenly Craft Island, over one thousand grandmaster craftsmen were sitting neatly on bamboo chairs.
Directly in front of them, Chu Xingyun was standing on a high flight of stairs, looking down at them.
Looking around, Chu Xingyun said seriously, "It's been nearly three months since I took over Heavenly Craft Island. During this time, I've done a lot of work."
First, I renovated all the worksheds and let all the craftsmen live in brand-new worksheds that don't leak wind and rain.
Second, I shipped a large amount of wine, meat, rice, and noodles, which greatly improved the food quality of the craftsmen on Heavenly Craft Island.
Third, I built a medical center to treat all the illnesses on the island for free. I'll continue to do so in the future.
Next, I'll start to improve the transportation on the island and pave solid and durable roads. However, this can't be done in a day. It needs time.
As for clothing and education, I respect the traditions of Heavenly Craft Island, so I didn't make any rash changes.
Shrugging, Chu Xingyun said, "Up to now, I've done everything I can do in terms of clothing, food, housing, transportation, education, and medical care."
Hearing Chu Xingyun's words, all the craftsmen nodded. Indeed … Chu Xingyun wasn't just saying. He was doing it first, then talking about it later.
Although the roads hadn't been repaired yet, they couldn't be completed in a short time. Without eight to ten years, they couldn't be completed.
Moreover, the roads weren't too urgent. It wouldn't affect people's lives much if they were repaired sooner or later.
In the midst of the discussion, an old craftsman with white hair and beard stood up and said respectfully, "Sir, you've done everything perfectly. What can we do to help you?"
Waving his hand, Chu Xingyun said, "Don't call me Sir. In fact … Heavenly Craft Island has become my private territory. So please call me Island Master!"
What! How … how could this be?
Hearing Chu Xingyun's's words, the craftsmen's' faces all changed..
Faced with this, Chu Xingyun did not stop them, nor did he explain himself. He allowed them to continue with their discussion.
... people.... people. are..... com..... com..... paper......
. people's trust's.... but...... be..
. If he kept it a secret and let them discover it themselves, it would seem like a conspiracy. When that happened, it would be impossible to gain their trust.
Finally, everyone quieted down. The white-haired old man said unyieldingly, "Although Heavenly Craft Island belongs to you, we craftsmen don't belong to anyone. We aren't anyone's slaves!"
Chu Xingyun shook his head and said, "No one said that you were slaves. In fact … do you think everything I've done for you is something I'd do for slaves?"
This …
All the craftsmen fell silent as they looked at Chu Xingyun hesitantly.
If Chu Xingyun was an official, he could be described as a parent official.
Chu Xingyun had already helped his parents think of a solution.
What his parents had done, Chu Xingyun had done for them as well. How could it be considered slavery?
Who in this world would treat slaves so well?
Slaves did not exist among humans. Only humans who were captured by the Demon Clan would be reduced to slaves.
Slaves had no freedom or dignity. Their lives weren't even guaranteed and they could be executed at any time.
Chu Xingyun looked at all the craftsmen and continued, "As heavenly craftsmen, you know too many refining secrets. Therefore, you are not allowed to leave Heavenly Craft Island no matter what."
After a pause, Chu Xingyun continued, "I didn't want to detain you. In fact … this is the military's rigid condition. I'm sure you all understand."
All the craftsmen nodded at Chu Xingyun's words. They also knew that as craftsmen, they knew too many refining secrets that couldn't be divulged to outsiders. These secrets had to be kept a secret and couldn't be divulged.
Therefore, they wouldn't be able to take half a step off Heavenly Craft Island for the rest of their lives.
Looking around, Chu Xingyun continued, "You are on Heavenly Craft Island and can't leave. Therefore, working for me is the only way out."
Chu Xingyun sat in his seat solemnly and said, "I won't force you. Instead, I will provide you with everything you want. However, you should understand that I can't give you everything for free. I have no obligation to do so."
Alright …
Nodding, the white-haired craftsman said, "I can't refute you. However, we want to know, what do we need to do? How are we treated? "
Spreading his hands, Chu Xingyun said, "Everything will be the same as before. You will do what you did before."
After organizing his words, Chu Xingyun smiled and said, "Simply put, I will prepare everything you want. What you need to do is to use your labor to exchange for everything."
Looking blankly at Chu Xingyun, the old craftsman said in confusion, "You built a new house for us, improved our meals, established a medical center. You did so much, but what you want is the same as before?"
Slowly standing up, Chu Xingyun looked at everyone with an incomparably solemn expression and said in a deep voice, "Perhaps you won't understand, but this is the truth. I treat you with sincerity, and I hope that you will treat me with sincerity. That's all."
Looking at Chu Xingyun with a grave expression, the old craftsman said seriously, "Using labor to exchange for daily necessities is what we should do. You have created such a good condition for us, and we will definitely cherish it. "
After a pause, the old craftsman said decisively, "You treat us with sincerity and sincerity, so we will treat you the same. I hope you are not playing with us. Otherwise …"
Although he didn't finish his sentence, the threat in his words was obvious.
Looking at everyone with a smile, Chu Xingyun said, "As the saying goes, distance tests a horse's strength, and time reveals a person's heart. You will find out sooner or later what kind of person I am."
Taking a deep breath, Chu Xingyun said loudly, "However, before I betray your trust, I hope that everyone can work together and do a good job on Heavenly Craft Island."
Facing Chu Xingyun's seemingly unconditional request, no one could find a reason to refuse.
